Chapter: 2762

After finishing the call, Xue Changkun hastily hung up and sent Ye Chen's location via WeChat."

Just then, another text message arrived: "Good son-in-law, hurry up! My legs are about to give out!"

Ye Chen replied with a smile and drove towards Xue Changkun's location.

At this moment, Xue Changkun was sitting on the roadside curb, drenched in sweat from head to toe.

He never would have thought today that he would use the occasion of Hee Mei being ill to concoct the atmosphere and create a sweet melody, only for Hee Mei to drag him along the riverbank to run all night long.

Moreover, Hee Mei's physical strength was incredible; it seemed like no matter how much she ran, she wasn't tired at all. As for him, an old man with bones that didn't have that kind of foundation, he was almost on the verge of giving up after running for half an hour.

Originally, he had planned to give up, but because he didn't want Hee Mei to look down on him, he could only grit his teeth and persevere. However, even if he gave it his all, he still fell behind Hee Mei by a lot, so Hee Mei had to run ahead for a while before returning to accompany Xue Changkun in slow jogging, then running again, repeating the cycle.

Xue Changkun was already crying with exhaustion.

At this moment, he didn't even have the energy to think of ways to keep up with Hee Mei's pace; let alone if she actively asked him to, he would be unable to muster the strength. All he wanted was to hurry back home and take a good rest.

Ye Chen quickly drove up to the riverbank road when he saw Xue Changkun, who was standing beside him, waving excitedly at him to keep going, while Xue Changkun sat on the roadside curb, his face contorted in pain.

Ye Chen pulled his car over to the riverbank road, and when Xue Changkun saw him, he looked as if he had seen a savior, with a sparkle in his eyes.

However, he didn't immediately say anything to Ye Chen.

It was Hee Mei who spoke up first, laughing and saying, "Ye Chen is here!"

As soon as Ye Chen saw Hee Mei wearing a tight-fitting athletic outfit, he couldn't help but think, "This Hee Mei really is an idol for middle-aged men - her physique, facial features, and aura are all like those of someone in their 50s. Saying she's 30 years old would probably be believed by most people."

Then Ye Chen nodded and smiled at Hee Mei, saying, "Hello, Aunt Hee."

After that, Ye Chen had a bad feeling, so he pretended to ask her, "Aunt Hee, I heard you got sick, how come you're still going out for a run? And your complexion looks really good, it doesn't seem like you're sick at all."

Hee Mei laughed and said, "At first, I did have a fever, but then Dad brought me a bowl of congee, and after I drank it, I was fine!"

Ye Chen pretended to be shocked, asking, "Congee is that magical? This is the first time I've ever heard of it."

Hee Mei smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not quite clear about the underlying principle, but I did feel completely recovered and had an overwhelming sense of energy in my body."

Ye Chen nodded and glanced at Xiu Changkun, who was sitting on the ground with a flushed face and sweat-drenched head, and teased him, "Dad, why didn't you bring me a bowl of congee?"

Xiu Changkun looked glumly and said, "If I had known that congee had such effects, I would have bought an extra bowl at the time."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately changed the subject and pretended to look helpless, asking him, "Oh dear Ye Chen, how did you get here so quickly? Didn't I tell you to wait for half an hour before coming to pick me up?"

Upon hearing his father-in-law's words, Ye Chen was taken aback at first but quickly regained his composure.

It seemed that his father-in-law was afraid of losing face in front of Hee Mei, so he intentionally said this and acted as if he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

So Ye Chen laughed and said, "I finished early on my side, so I came over ahead of time. If you haven't had enough exercise yet, just go for another round or two." JrNovels.com
