Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1885: Chapter 169: Shouzhe! Sooner or Later, Debts Must Be Repaid

As Liyue’s scientific achievements increased and her fame grew, fewer people pursued her, and she became increasingly indifferent to matters of the heart.

No matter what, she stood so high that most young people’s gazes turned into worship and admiration, with no romantic feelings involved.

This left Wang Shouzhe very much troubled.

“Father, could it be you’re eager for a grandson or granddaughter?” Wang Liyue pondered briefly before saying, “It’s not impossible. I talked with Aunt Luwei last time, she mentioned a technique to attempt extracorporeal…”

“Shut up!” Wang Shouzhe’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly scolded to stop her, glaring, “In the future, you’re not allowed to explore that kind of technology with her!”

“Father, I think this is a very promising technological direction, worth digging into.” Wang Liyue argued seriously and rationally, “If the research succeeds, it can reduce a lot of meaningless consumption, save time, and women won’t have to worry about the negative emotions caused by various hormones during pregnancy, equally saving…”

“I’m your father, and I demand you change the topic.” Wang Shouzhe’s face turned ashen, “I just want grandchildren, not a scientific endeavor.”

“Then you can randomly pick someone for me, Father.” Wang Liyue pushed her glasses, her expression indifferent, “Marriage takes up too much time, but just having a child could work. For my father’s wish, I can sacrifice two or three years to accomplish this goal.”

Wang Shouzhe: “…”

He suppressed the urge to hang her up and give her a beating, and after several deep breaths, regained his calm, explaining in a gentle tone, “It’s not just about wanting grandchildren; I hope you find happiness.”

“Father, your logic is flawed. Happiness, marriage, and having children aren’t necessarily related. Also, what exactly do you want from me: to have children, to get married, or for me to be happy? Your contradictory communication makes it difficult for me to decide.”

“My meaning is simple: I hope you find a man you like, regardless of family background, as long as you truly like him.” Wang Shouzhe was extremely distressed, feeling increasingly challenged in communicating with this girl.

When Liyue was little, she was so adorable, yet as she grew older, she moved toward an increasingly bizarre direction.

Letting her discuss technology with Luwei was not meant for her to inherit Luwei’s bizarre ideas.

“It’s difficult.” Upon hearing this, Wang Liyue seriously contemplated for a moment, then shook her head, “Even though I don’t have specific standards for choosing a spouse, and the lower limit could be relaxed, the problem is, your requirement is that I must like him!”

“But I truly cannot find a man I like. Think about it: if his intelligence isn’t even comparable to Ningxi and Rich, how can I communicate with him? Every time I talk, I have to carefully consider how to express myself in a way that’s both simple and clear to ensure he understands my meaning; it’s too torturous.”

Wang Shouzhe listened as his forehead pulsed.

Were you pondering how to express yourself both simply and clearly all this time? Isn’t this very torturous? Don’t you feel that, in the whole family, only Wang Ningxi and Wang Fugui can normally communicate?

“Ahem~ Father, how about I take a trip to the Immortal Dynasty?” Wang Liyue also felt she had hurt her father’s self-esteem a bit, so she awkwardly suggested to appease, “The Immortal Dynasty has vast territories and numerous top Prominent Families; perhaps some target can be found.”

“Never mind, just let things happen naturally.” Wang Shouzhe waved his hand weakly, “I’ll urge your third sister later.”

What good roles can the Immortal Dynasty really produce?

If the Immortal Dynasty truly had talents on par with Wang Ningxi and Wang Fugui, how could they allow themselves to mess things up without creating turmoil?

“Indeed, given your various ‘happiness’ criteria, logically, only the third sister might have a chance.” Wang Liyue nodded, agreeing with Wang Shouzhe’s opinion, then added, “I heard from Zongkun that you let the Dragon Whale clan bring some Spirit Plants back from Mozhao Country, which resemble the rubber you mentioned earlier. I’m very interested in this peculiar material; can I have some to study?”

Indeed, upon learning Mozhao Country had a Spirit Plant resembling the rubber tree, Wang Shouzhe had asked the Dragon Whale clan to fetch it for him.

At his current status and position, when he desires something, most of the time he no longer needs to act personally.

Otherwise, if for a mere rubber tree, he had to personally journey to Mozhao Country, painstakingly search and retrieve it, what would be the point of growing the Prominent Family’s power?

“It’s resting in my Breath Soil Bracelet; I’ll give it to you later.” As Wang Shouzhe spoke, he pulled Wang Zongteng, who was stealthily observing the situation behind him, and introduced him, “You haven’t met Zongteng, right? This is your new brother, Wang Zongteng. Zongteng, say hello to your second sister.”

In any family, there’s the distinction between small and large families.

Taking Wang Shouzhe’s children as an example, there is a family ranking among the same generation in the family, and a ranking within their own yard as well. Generally, outside, of course, the generational ranking is used, but within their own yard, it’s less elaborate, just call based on the ranking in their own yard.

“Hello, fourth.” Over the years, Wang Liyue had grown accustomed to the frequent arrival of new siblings, cheerfully waved to Wang Zongteng, and greeted, “Second sister came over in a hurry today and didn’t bring any gifts. I see you probably enjoy eating Spirit Stones, so I’ll give you a little Spirit Stone first.”
