Hearing Chu Lingtian's words, Zhang Ping was so startled that she quickly threw the long, black donkey whip back into the black plastic bag.
Liu Bingxue glared at Chu Lingtian, her beautiful face flushing with shame, and said angrily, "You scoundrel, why would you buy something like this?"
At this moment, Liu Bingxue deeply regretted not finding out what Chu Lingtian had bought for her parents beforehand. If she had known, she would never have let him bring it in to meet her parents; she would have thrown it straight into the trash.
Who would give animal penises as a gift?
And as a son-in-law meeting his in-laws for the first time, he actually brought penises?
Chu Lingtian took the black plastic bag from Zhang Ping's hand and said with a solemn expression, "The ancients said there's dragon meat in heaven and donkey meat on earth, which shows how potent donkey meat is. And donkey penis is the ultimate tonic. Uncle and Aunt are in their middle age and need to replenish their bodies the most, so this time I bought large donkey penis, large bull penis, large sheep penis, large dog penis..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Bingxue, both ashamed and angry, snapped at Chu Lingtian.
But Chu Lingtian was not afraid of Liu Bingxue's overbearing CEO aura and continued, "Later, I'll personally cook these penises together into a stew. I guarantee Uncle and Aunt will praise it highly and be full of energy after drinking it. And Xue'er, you must drink more too later, as it's not easy to gather so many penises together for a stew."
Liu Bingxue's beautiful eyes stared fiercely at Chu Lingtian, wondering if this guy had a problem with his brain.
Last night, she had not only inexplicably given her virginity to this stranger but he was also a penniless, powerless good-for-nothing, and a lunatic to boot?
Heavens, she was at such a disadvantage!
For a first meeting with in-laws, it was one thing not to bring conventional gifts like cigarettes, alcohol, or cosmetics, but Chu Lingtian was definitely the first to bring various animal penises.
Chu Lingtian looked at Liu Bingxue's gaze, which seemed to want to kill him, and shook his head. He thought he was genuinely considering her parents' well-being when he went to the market and painstakingly gathered various animal penises as gifts.
Giving in-laws cigarettes and alcohol or cosmetics was the conventional practice for most sons-in-law, but these things weren't really beneficial to the body.
Chu Lingtian came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His grandfather and father were both skilled TCM doctors, so he had learned some medical skills from them since childhood. However, due to some family misfortune later, he was left alone.
When Liu Bingxue and Zhang Ping were talking earlier, Chu Lingtian learned that Liu Shu had been ill for a long time and showed signs of terminal illness. He immediately thought of the great tonic methods recorded in ancient medical texts.
People who have been ill for a long time or are terminally ill must have very weak bodies. At this time, they need to be nourished first, and then treated with medication to achieve results.
Liu Bingxue saw that her parents' faces were solemn and seemed about to get angry, so she was about to intercede for Chu Lingtian, but at this moment, her mother, Zhang Ping, spoke.
Zhang Ping suddenly looked at Chu Lingtian happily and said, "Little Chu, you are so sensible and thoughtful. Your Uncle's body really needs this tonic, and I need it too. A little replenishment is always good for health."
"Yes, people in ancient times believed in eating what you need to replenish, and later research proved there was indeed scientific basis for it."
Liu Shu also looked at Chu Lingtian with approval.
"Replenishing with similar forms," Zhang Ping mumbled shyly.
Hearing her parents' words, Liu Bingxue was shocked and somewhat flustered. She never expected that Chu Lingtian's peculiar gift of various penises would be so well-received by her parents.
Afterwards, Zhang Ping took Liu Bingxue to the kitchen to cook, while Chu Lingtian played chess with Liu Shu.
"Little Chu, Bingxue has a strong and domineering personality, but she has a good heart and is very kind. If you two work things out, you'll be happy," Liu Shu said with a smile, moving a chess piece. He knew his daughter's temper well.
"Uncle, please don't worry, I will treat Bingxue well." Chu Lingtian understood Liu Shu's paternal concern and his desire for his daughter to find happiness.
Liu Shu nodded and sighed, "I don't know how long I can hold on, or if I'll live to see you two get married. If I do, I'd also like to see my grandchild."
"Uncle, I noticed you were coughing quite a lot earlier. It seems to be a problem with your lungs. When I was in the army, a military doctor taught me a method to condition the lungs. You can try it; it might be effective."
Chu Lingtian did not want to reveal his identity as the captain of the Wolf Warrior commando team, nor did he want people to know about his advanced medical skills.
It was because of a centuries-old ancient medical book that his family had suffered a massacre.
Chu Lingtian was not at home at the time and narrowly escaped death. However, all these years, he had been trying every means to investigate but had still not found the culprit.
Liu Shu was delighted to hear there was a way to treat his lung disease and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, you need to press your Xiāngxué, Zhōngfǔ, Shéncáng, and Yúnmén acupoints three times a day, morning, noon, and night. Press each point ten times, and if you persist for a month, it should have a good effect." Chu Lingtian nodded.
"Okay, I will certainly follow your advice." Liu Shu replied happily.
Soon, Zhang Ping and Liu Bingxue finished preparing dinner.
Chu Lingtian offered to personally cook a stew with the penises, but Liu Bingxue vehemently objected, so he had to let it go.
At the dinner table, Chu Lingtian answered all of Liu Shu and Zhang Ping's questions with ease and even managed to inject some humor, which Liu Bingxue found surprising.
After dinner, Chu Lingtian offered to wash the dishes, but Zhang Ping and Liu Shu sternly stopped him.
When Zhang Ping and Liu Bingxue came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, Chu Lingtian said it was getting late and he wanted to go home.
However, Liu Shu and Zhang Ping insisted he stay the night.
This made Chu Lingtian and Liu Bingxue exchange glances. They hadn't expected Chu Lingtian to be invited to stay over.
If Chu Lingtian really stayed, would he sleep alone or with Liu Bingxue?
Before Chu Lingtian could refuse, Zhang Ping said she needed to go out to buy some things and asked Liu Bingxue and Liu Shu to accompany her.
Chu Lingtian watched as Liu Bingxue was pulled along by Zhang Ping, with Liu Shu following behind. The three of them walked out of the villa gate together, thinking that Liu Bingxue's parents had quite peculiar personalities.
Left alone in the villa's living room, Chu Lingtian, bored, turned on the television.
He had been watching for less than five minutes when the villa door was opened from the outside.
Chu Lingtian turned his head and smiled, teasing, "What, afraid I'm too lonely and bored, so you came back to keep me company?... Why have your clothes and hairstyle changed? You changed so quickly."
Liu Bingxue walked in from outside. Her ordinary, slightly conservative clothes had been replaced by a super-short, midriff-baring T-shirt and ultra-short denim hot pants, paired with black high heels. She looked so seductive that it stirred up desire.
Liu Bingxue, in her high heels, swayed her hips and strutted with her long, slender, and straight legs to Chu Lingtian's front. Her eyes were alluring, and she lightly parted her red lips, "I missed you, do you miss me?"
"No, you're not Bingxue, who are you?" Chu Lingtian frowned and asked, looking at the enchanting woman in front of him. She had the same face and height as Liu Bingxue, but her fashion sense and seductive personality were completely different.
