Di's mother felt sorry for her son-in-law. She tried to persuade them to let Ding Ning drink less, but Diba stopped her with a smile.
She had seen Ding Ning's alcohol tolerance. He drank five bottles of white wine like nothing had happened, so this little amount of wine was nothing to her.
Father Di was obviously drunk. He was so drunk that he started to sing loudly at the dining table. Not to mention, his singing was really good.
Hauna and Aikel also sang at the top of their lungs. Although it wasn't bad, it was obviously not on the same level as Di's father.
But it was understandable. After all, Di's father was a solo singer in the Wushi Song and Dance Troupe. He was full of artistic cells. Diba probably inherited his artistic genes to enter the entertainment circle.
After the meal, Hauna and Aikel were drunk. They staggered away with the help of their wives. They probably couldn't attend the banquet tonight.
Di's father was already drunk. He only knew how to giggle. He put his arm around Ding Ning's shoulder and shouted, "Brother, come, let's drink." Di's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With Ding Ning's help, she sent him to the bedroom to rest.
"Diba, help Ding to your room to rest."
When Diba's mother saw that Ding Ning was so drunk that he was even walking on air and seemed to be drunk, she asked Diba to send him to his room to sleep for a while, which made Diba very shy. No young man had ever entered her boudoir, let alone slept on her bed.
Although the house had three bedrooms and one living room, there were only two rooms with beds. One was for the old couple, and the other was for her. The other room was converted into a study by Di's father.
It was called a study, but it was actually a music room. There were all kinds of musical instruments in it. There was also an old piano, which should be the piano that Diba practiced with when he was young.
No matter how embarrassed Diba was, she couldn't let Ding Ning sleep on the sofa. She could only suppress her shyness and help him to her room to rest.
As soon as they entered the room, Diba pinched Ding Ning's waist hard and rolled her eyes. "Pretend. You only know how to pretend."
Ding Ning chuckled, and her eyes instantly became clear again. She pushed Diba against the wall and kissed her lips without any explanation.
Diba panicked and slapped his back repeatedly as he struggled violently. They were at home, and the door wasn't even closed. If his mother saw them, it would be too embarrassing.
"Don't worry, Mom is washing the dishes in the kitchen."
Ding Ning knew what she was worried about. He let go of her lips and said, then immediately kissed her again.
Diba felt slightly reassured. Her body relaxed and she responded to his kiss. But when Ding Ning could not help but want to take the next step, she immediately pushed him away and said shyly, "Not at home."
Ding Ning also knew that it was indeed inappropriate, so he let go of her and said with a smirk, "Is it okay as long as I am not at home?"
"No wonder my dad said your thoughts are filthy."
Diba took the opportunity to get rid of his arms and glared at him charmingly. "Hurry up and go to sleep for a while. We still have a banquet tonight."
"Then accompany me."
Ding Ning shamelessly held her hand and did not let go.
Diba bit her lips tightly and looked around the kitchen. She blushed and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I will accompany you after my mom is asleep."
Ding Ning chuckled and then obediently lay down on the bed. With his cultivation realm, it was not a problem for him to not sleep for ten days or half a month. But during this period of time, he was in the Immemorial Era and the Soaring Wind Continent. His nerves were always tense. Now that he relaxed, he immediately felt his eyelids become heavy and soon fell asleep.
He slept like a log until Diba woke him up. Only then did he realize that it was time to go to the banquet.
He got up and washed up with the brand-new toiletries that Mother Di had prepared for him. Ding Ning immediately became energetic again.
Di's father was still sleeping soundly. It seemed that he would not wake up until the next morning. Ding Ning gave up the idea of greeting him and politely said goodbye to Di's mother, saying that he would come to visit them when he had time.
"Aren't you going back tomorrow?"
Mother Di asked in confusion.
"Mom, he has a room in Yindu."
Diba hurriedly explained.
"Why are you still staying outside when you are home? Check out the room and stay at home tonight."
Diba made a decision with an unquestionable wave of her hand.
"Ah!"
Ding Ning and Diba looked at each other. There were only two beds. How were they going to stay at home?
"Your dad and I are looking forward to having a grandchild soon. You guys work hard and quickly give me a grandchild. It's a deal."
No wonder Diba said that her parents were more open-minded. Mother Di's words made Ding Ning blush. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not help but blush.
Diba stamped her feet shyly and said coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"I'm not joking. Diba, I know you attach more importance to your career, but a woman's youth is only for a few years. If you don't get married and have children while you are young, who will want you when you are old?"
Mother Di's expression suddenly became sad. "All these years, you've been working hard outside. Sometimes, you can't even come home for a year or two. Your father and I are the only two people at home. When we miss you, we don't even dare to call you, for fear of delaying your work. We can only watch you on TV, but our hearts are always on tenterhooks. We're afraid that you won't eat or drink well, will you be tired, will you be bullied by others, and will you suffer any grievances. Only when you come home and see that you're fine can we feel at ease."
Diba's eyes were wet. He hugged Mother Di and said emotionally, "I'm sorry, mom. I made you worry."
"Mothers worry about their children when they travel thousands of miles. How can parents not love their children? What's more, you and your dad only have one daughter. If you don't get married, we can't rest in peace even if we die."
Mother Di seemed to have been ready to force Diba to marry. She said it in an emotional voice, which made Diba burst into tears.
Ding Ning looked serious, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. He didn't expect that Di's mother was also an experienced actress. Her acting skills even fooled Diba. If it weren't for the imperceptible smugness at the corner of her mouth that betrayed her, even he would have been fooled.
Of course, he would definitely not expose Mother Di. Although the old woman was acting, what she said was the truth. No matter how important the career was, if their children never got married, the old couple would always be worried.
What's more, Diba was not young anymore. At the age of 27, she would soon enter the ranks of old leftover women. It was also time for her to get married and have children. Otherwise, in another two years, she would become an elderly pregnant woman.
"Mom, wait for another two years, okay? In another two years, I will quit the show business, get married and have children. I will be filial to you and dad at home. "
Although Diba was fooled, she had always been an independent girl with her own life plan. How could she change her mind because of a few words of her mother?
"I know you are in the development period of your career, and I won't force you to get married, but you have to promise me one condition."
Mother Di also knew her daughter's temperament, so she had long been prepared. She began to set the trap patiently.
"Tell me. As long as you don't let me get married now, I will promise you any condition."
Diba was still too inexperienced. Under her mother's provocative tricks, she successfully fell into the trap.
"Your dad and I are retired now. We have nothing to do every day. While we are still healthy, you and Xiaoding should hurry up and have a child. We will help you take care of the child, and you can develop your career with peace of mind."
Mother Di's words were shocking, which made Diba blush. Ding Ning was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly to show his support.
In the end, he still felt guilty. Although what was done was done. If Diba knew that he had other women, she might break up with him. But if there was a child involved, it would be different. He was confident that he could make Diba slowly accept the reality.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I am so busy every day. How can I have time to have a child?"
Diba wanted to refuse, but she suddenly remembered that it was not a safe period now. Last night, she and Ding Ning had not taken any contraceptive measures. If she got pregnant, she would definitely be reluctant to abort the fruit of their love. So, she did not say that firmly.
"Although stars need popularity, and the popularity will decline if there is no exposure for a long time, it will only take a year to have a child, so the impact should not be big."
Ding Ning said very actively.
Diba glared at him angrily. Before he could speak, Mother Di said with a smile, "Xiaoding is also a skilled doctor. With him, we can rest assured. That's settled. It's late. You should go to the banquet quickly. It's not appropriate to keep him waiting."
After that, without giving Diba any chance to object, she turned and went into the kitchen. She also casually said, "Xiaoding, drink less at night and come back early."
"Okay, I got it."
Ding Ning answered happily and pulled Diba, whose face was full of confusion, to walk out. "Let's go quickly. If we don't go now, we'll be late."
Diba helplessly broke away from his hand. "Wait a minute, let me put on a facial mask before we go."
Ding Ning held her hand again. "Don't waste time. Just put it on the car."
"Okay!"
Diba thought about it and agreed. She shouted, "Mom, let's go."
"Go, go!"
Mother Di responded.
She was very satisfied with Ding Ning as her son-in-law. Both of their genes were so excellent. How excellent the child would be? She could not wait to hold the baby as soon as possible.
As expected, Hauna and Aikel drank too much at noon and could not attend the banquet in the evening. But Anival came to the banquet on behalf of the two families and toasted Ding Ning several times to show his gratitude.
Diba was not very interested in this kind of social interaction, so she asked Anival about Celine's situation and said that she would visit her in the hospital after dinner.
"Celine has been discharged and returned home."
Anival said with some excitement. "Doctor Ding's medical skills are really amazing. Celine is fine now and can walk on her own. She did not want to stay in the hospital, so she went through the discharge procedures."
"Ah, really. That's great."
Diba said with surprise and joy. She subconsciously looked at Ding Ning, who was chatting and drinking with the others, and felt a strong sense of pride in her heart.
Anival praised sincerely. "I have heard a lot of rumors about the little magic doctor before, but I always thought they were exaggerated. But now that I have seen him with my own eyes, I know that those rumors are not exaggerated. Instead, they can't show a fraction of his real medical skills."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Diba was quite modest on behalf of her husband.
"It's not exaggerated at all. Just look at Director Zhang's behavior now."
Anival gestured to Director Zhang with his mouth.
Diba looked over and saw Director Zhang standing up and respectfully toasting Ding Ning. The expression on his face was not just polite, but fanatical worship like he was on a pilgrimage.
Who was Zhang Tiejun? He was the stabilizing force of the People's Hospital. His brilliant medical skills were the same as his proud and aloof temper. He was one of the best in the whole of Wushi. Even the city leaders had to be courteous to him when they met.
But now, such a proud and aloof person was out of character. Like a devout believer, he put on such a humble attitude to a man almost 30 years younger than him.
