The old man wasn't finished. He further added: "Has little regard for wealth, makes and loses money quickly. Not good at managing finances. Brilliant with ideas and quick responses, but not good at taking care of children. Will have good fortunes in later life. May have 2-3 children who are outstandingly talented, famous, and intelligent."
You could say he was showering her with compliments.
Lu Nanchen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly butted in. "Boy or girl?" He asked.
The old man was taken aback, stroking his beard before beginning to calculate with his fingers.
He looked every bit the charlatan.
"A boy, he would be your..."
"Okay, thank you."
The old man began to elaborate, but Nanchen forcefully interrupted him. Even though his expression remained unchanged, his actions and words clearly conveyed his genuine and simple feelings.
It was hilarious. He just didn't want to hear it.
