Wang Jian had just finished speaking when the bald owner said with a curious tone, "Doctor Wang, you're really something. We just came from a prenatal checkup, and the doctor said the exact same thing. But my wife had a craving, so we figured we'd stop by for a bite before heading to the hospital to get settled."
After hearing this, Wang Jian nodded. "It seems my assessment was correct." Since it was standard practice to check into the hospital a few days before the due date, there shouldn't be any problems, and Wang Jian felt relieved.
"By the way, Brother Xu, do you have any new dishes today?" Wang Jian asked the owner. This owner, Xu Liang, was a man with a past in the underworld whom Wang Jian had met years ago while practicing medicine with his master. Wang Jian had even saved his life, which was how they became acquainted. It was a surprise to find that Xu Liang had since opened a Japanese restaurant here.
