The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4628

Charlie Wade was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a familiar voice say, “Mr. Ye, what are you thinking about?”

Startled, he turned around and saw Liu Manqiong standing behind him. He felt a mix of surprise and a bit of fear. He hadn’t noticed her approach, which was unusual for him.

Quickly regaining his composure, Charlie smiled and replied, “I was just thinking about some old memories.”

Curious, he asked, “When did you arrive, Miss Manqiong?”

“I just got here,” she said with a small smile. Then, she moved closer to him, looked at the lively scene below, and asked, “Were you thinking about your parents just now?”

Charlie nodded slightly, a hint of sadness in his eyes. “Yes… Even after twenty years, I still miss them.”

Liu Manqiong understood his feelings well. She sighed softly and, gathering her courage, reached out to hold Charlie’s hand, squeezing it gently to show her support.

Not wanting him to dwell on sad thoughts, she quickly changed the topic. “Mr. Chen’s condition seems much better than yesterday.”

Charlie nodded in agreement. “Yes, he found his heavenly soul.”

As he spoke, he noticed Chen Zhaozhong helping his elderly mother out of the car and added, “Not just his heavenly soul, but also…”

Liu Manqiong looked surprised and asked, “Mr. Ye, do you know about the three souls and seven souls too?!”

Charlie Wade was taken aback and replied, “You know about that as well?”

“Of course,” Liu Manqiong said with a serious smile. “Don’t forget, I’ve been learning Chinese for many years. In the end, I’ve studied philosophy and history.”

Charlie nodded and said, “It’s true that reading is important. The essence of five thousand years of civilization is found in books.”

Liu Manqiong smiled back and said, “Even though Mr. Ye didn’t finish university, many people would want to learn from you. You know about the lesser-known Daoist idea of the Three Souls and Seven Souls.”

Charlie chuckled to himself, saying, “I haven’t read many books. I’ve been struggling for twenty years. I didn’t have the time or energy for that. My father told me those things when I was young.”

Liu Manqiong replied earnestly, “It’s never too late to start reading. If you can, try to set a goal for yourself. Start with one book a month, then try for two books a month, and eventually aim for one book a week.”

Then she added, “If you’d like, I can help you create a study plan.”

Charlie asked playfully, “Does that mean we’ll have to check progress and assign homework?”

Liu Manqiong blushed a little and said, “I can do that if you need me to.”
