After three years of being married into the family, his identity as a miracle doctor can no longer b

Lin Yuan walked out of the hospital and walked home.

The setting sun cast its slanting rays on the streets and alleys, and the evening breeze carried away the lingering smell of medicine from our clothes.

As soon as I opened the door, the aroma of food wafted out.

The living room was brightly lit, and the family was already sitting around the dining table, waiting for him to come home and start the meal.

Upon hearing the door open, Xu Yue'e, the mother-in-law, was the first to look up.

When her gaze fell on Lin Yuan, her eyes lit up instantly, and a look of obvious surprise appeared on her face.

The son-in-law before me was completely different from the one I used to know.

In the past, Lin Yuan always liked to wear brightly colored and frivolous clothes, and his hair was also styled casually and sloppily, which made him look unreliable.

But today, her simple and clean clothes, with their proper tailoring, made her figure appear even more upright.

Her hair was also neatly styled, giving her a more mature and composed aura than her usual impetuousness.

His entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.

"Xiao Yuan is back."

Xu Yue'e stood up with a smile, looked him up and down, and spoke with great approval.

"You look really smart today. Are these clothes new? They look especially good on you."

Lin Jianguo, the father-in-law, held his bowl and chopsticks and nodded repeatedly, his eyes showing great satisfaction.

"It's really nice. This outfit is elegant and appropriate, much better looking than those flashy ones from before."

The two of them chatted back and forth, each sentence filled with praise.

Lin Wanrou, who was sitting at the table, was looking down at her phone when she heard her parents' words. Her heart stirred slightly, and she subconsciously looked up.

With just one glance, she froze on the spot.

A familiar face, yet with a completely different aura.

Shedding his former carefree attitude, his calm and reserved demeanor gave her a slight flutter in her heart.

It must be admitted that Lin Yuan was indeed very charming at that moment.

But this goodwill only lasted a moment before Lin Wanrou's expression turned cold.

She abruptly turned her head away, bringing her gaze back to her phone screen, her lips pressed tightly together.

She's still angry about the fact that he went back on his word today and went out to play cards and have fun in broad daylight.

Lin Yuan changed his shoes and went inside. He casually put his belongings away and sat down at the dining table.

He noticed Lin Wanrou's unusual expression and guessed that she was still holding back her anger, but he just smiled faintly and did not take the initiative to expose it.

"Something came up on the way and I was delayed. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Lin Yuan said calmly, picking up his chopsticks, "Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Xu Yue'e could easily see through her daughter's little mood, so she quickly smoothed things over, serving Lin Yuan food as she spoke.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. It's no big deal, hurry up and start eating."

The dining table fell silent for a moment, with only the soft clinking of bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Jianguo looked at his daughter, then at his newly transformed son-in-law, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"Xiao Yuan, people should always learn to be mature. Clothing and appearance are minor matters; being down-to-earth and honest in one's actions and conduct is the most important thing."

His words were pointed, clearly indicating that he had also heard about Lin Yuan going out to play cards.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded calmly.

"Dad is right, I'll remember that."

Just then, Lin Yuan raised his hand and used his chopsticks to pick up a plump, fresh shrimp.

It was placed in Lin Wanrou's bowl.

It's such a simple action.

It instantly silenced the entire dining table.

Everyone stopped moving.

Xu Yue'e's hand, which was holding a piece of food, was suspended in mid-air.

Lin Jianguo held his chopsticks, remaining silent.

The couple's gazes both fell on the two young people.

The most shocked person was Lin Wanrou.

She froze completely.

A pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief.

She and Lin Yuan were husband and wife in name only.

Although they lived under the same roof, they treated each other with utmost respect, but there was no warmth between them.

Despite being married for so long, Lin Yuan has never once offered to serve her food.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare.

This sudden action completely baffled her.

Lin Wanrou held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other.

My mind went blank; I completely forgot how to react.

Across from the dining table.

Xu Yue'e and Lin Jianguo exchanged a quick glance.

A smile instantly lit up their eyes, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up.

The elderly couple were extremely gratified.

It seems that Xiao Yuan has really changed.

Not only has her style and temperament undergone a complete transformation.

He even knows how to take care of his wife now.

If things continue like this, the relationship between my daughter and son-in-law might actually improve.

In this way, the elderly couple can look forward to having a grandchild.

But Lin Yuan, the person involved, didn't have any other thoughts in mind.

In his eyes, serving food to his wife is a perfectly normal thing.

The original owner didn't dare, so what does it have to do with me?

He looked at the stunned Lin Wanrou, spoke in a gentle tone, and smiled faintly.

"Sister Wanrou, have some shrimp, it's fresh."

A gentle and peaceful voice rang out.

Lin Wanrou's heart trembled slightly, and a strange heat rose to her cheeks.

He was already furious because of what happened during the day when he played cards.

Surprisingly, at that moment, most of it quietly dissipated.

But she was proud and couldn't bring herself to back down.

After a moment, she pursed her lips and spoke awkwardly in a low voice.

"I can use it myself, I don't need your help."

He said he refused.

But she didn't move the shrimp out of the bowl.

With a slight twitch of his fingers, he picked up the chopsticks.

Seeing this, Xu Yue'e quickly smiled and smoothed things over.

"Wanrou, Xiaoyuan specially picked this for you, so just enjoy it!"

"It's rare for Xiaoyuan to be so considerate, look at your attitude."

Lin Jianguo nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's how a family should look after each other."

The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became harmonious.

Lin Yuan remained calm and casually served a few more bites of food to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Mom and Dad, you should eat too, eat more."

Every move he made was steady, proper, and impeccably polite.

He's completely lost that carefree attitude he used to have.

Xu Yue'e smiled broadly and responded repeatedly.

In the short time it takes to eat a meal.

The elderly couple's opinion of Lin Yuan changed more and more.

Lin Wanrou silently ate the shrimp in her bowl.

She couldn't help but steal glances at the man beside her.

She was filled with doubt.

She changed her clothes, changed her temper, and even learned to be considerate of others.

Is this still the same man who idled away his days away playing cards?

Could it be that he really intends to turn over a new leaf and live a good life?

The atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly harmonious.

Looking at the completely transformed Lin Yuan, Xu Yue'e felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Compared to his previous carefree and irresponsible demeanor, he's practically a different person.

She suddenly remembered something and casually mentioned it.

"Oh, right, you two."

"Your second aunt has booked a table at a big hotel in the city for tomorrow night."

Lin Yuan raised his eyes.

Lin Wanrou also stopped eating.

Xu Yue'e explained with a smile.

"His son-in-law, Liu Qiang, got promoted and became the deputy captain of the Public Security Bureau."

"My family was so happy that they invited us all to join in the fun."

Lin Jianguo, who was standing to the side, nodded upon hearing this.

"Liu Qiang is indeed a capable young man."

"At such a young age, he has steadily climbed the ladder of success, making him quite accomplished among his peers."

They are all ordinary relatives.

But whose child has a good job and a stable future?

People will inevitably make comparisons in their hearts.

This is also human nature.

Liu Qiang works at the Public Security Bureau, which is a respectable job.

Now that he's been promoted, he's definitely the one who's had the best career development among his relatives and younger generation.

It's normal for my aunt's family to be happy and book a restaurant to treat everyone.

"It was just a regular family gathering."

Xu Yue'e gave her instructions.

"Our whole family will go tomorrow, don't be absent."

Lin Wanrou gave a soft "hmm".

She used to feel a little uncomfortable whenever there was a gathering.

It's simply because Lin Yuan in the past was so disappointing.

He does nothing all day long, and when he has nothing to do, he goes out to play cards.

The difference is immediately apparent when compared to Liu Qiang, who has steadily risen through the ranks.

Fortunately, my relatives are all sensible and never make things awkward.

Lin Yuan sat to the side, his expression indifferent.

His face showed no emotion whatsoever.

Xu Yue'e was afraid that he would feel pressured, so she spoke gently.

"Xiao Yuan, you'll come along tomorrow too."

"We're all family, just enjoy the meal and chat, don't feel pressured."

In the past...

Lin Yuan always felt inexplicably uneasy whenever he attended such gatherings.

Feeling inferior when you lack ability and see others succeeding.

But Lin Yuan now is no longer the good-for-nothing he used to be.

He smiled faintly and nodded in agreement.

"I understand, Mom. I'll be there on time tomorrow."

His tone was relaxed, and his demeanor was composed.

He didn't seem reserved at all.

Lin Wanrou glanced at him sideways, feeling increasingly strange.

This man has really changed too much.

I'd never heard of such a celebratory banquet before.

There will be some discomfort or awkwardness.

But today, he was calm and collected, as if nothing had anything to do with him.

Lin Jianguo looked at him and slowly spoke.

"Just make sure you have the right mindset when you go."

"Others have their own futures; we should just live our own lives well."

"It's never too late for anyone to work hard and make progress."

Lin Yuan readily agreed.

"Dad, I know."
