Cheng Qingyun called early in the morning and said that she had baked Chi Li's favorite little cake and asked her to come over and get it.

Of course Chi Li did not refuse.

Bai Zhenxi drove her to the door and said hesitantly, "I won't go in. Your father doesn't like me. You stay with them!"

Chi Li didn't force it, so she nodded and said, "Okay, go buy some food and invite Jiang Yun over tonight."

"Well, when you've had enough fun, send me a message and I'll pick you up." Bai Zhenxi said.

Chi Li smiled sweetly and nodded, "I know. Be careful on the road."

Bai Zhenxi watched Chi Li walk into the house before slowly starting the car and leaving.

As soon as Chi Li entered the house, she smelled a sweet scent.

Cheng Qingyun brought out a plate of exquisite little cakes from the kitchen with a smile on his face and said, "Here it is, come and try it."

Chi Li couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. The softness and sweetness of the cake spread in her mouth instantly. She praised, "It's so delicious!"

"Stay home for lunch and let your father cook your favorite dishes." Cheng Qingyun said lovingly.

Chi Li nodded repeatedly while eating the cake.

"Why didn't Zhenxi come? He gave me a painting and I really liked it." Cheng Qingyun asked. She liked this child very much.

"He has something to do." Chi Li said without raising her head.

Chi's father, wearing an apron, poked his head out of the kitchen and said sarcastically, "What's going on? You're busy selling fried rice. How can you achieve anything?"

"No, haha, he is busy investigating his family affairs!" said Chi Li.

"Besides, he also helped to rescue you." Chi Li cleverly spoke well of Bai Zhenxi.

Father Chi stopped talking this time and went back into the kitchen to study the dishes his wife and daughter liked.

Cheng Qingyun was very touched. "This child is so kind. Lili, don't finish the cake. Take it back and let Zhenxi have some."

"Yeah." Chi Li responded.

Cheng Qingyun put the remaining cake into an exquisite small box and placed it on the cabinet that could be seen as soon as he entered the door.

"The flowers I planted in my back garden all died, so I bought some seedlings and planned to grow them again," said Cheng Qingyun.

Chi Li naturally followed her to the backyard.

The bare, withered flowers and plants have been cleaned up.

Various flower seedlings and tools were placed on the ground. Cheng Qingyun skillfully picked up a small shovel and began to loosen the soil.

Chi Li cooperated with her to straighten the seedlings, while Cheng Qingyun gently filled the surrounding soil back and compacted it.

The mother and daughter cooperated tacitly, occasionally smiling at each other. The autumn breeze blew gently, ruffling their hair.

Chi Li felt a little embarrassed for some reason, so she could only try to find a topic to talk about: "These flowers will surely bloom beautifully next spring, right?"

Cheng Qingyun smiled and replied: "Yes, as long as we take good care of them, they will definitely bring us surprises."

"Are you done with your work? It's time for lunch." Father Chi came in and invited the two of them to have lunch.

Chi Li had been busy all afternoon and was already hungry. She washed her hands at the faucet at the edge of the flower bed and ran to the restaurant like a starving person.

"Kid, isn't it just planting flowers for a while? Is it so tiring?" Cheng Qingyun also washed his hands and said with a smile.

Father Chi lovingly wiped the sweat off Cheng Qingyun's forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Look at you, you're sweating. You must be tired too."

"Why should I be tired? Planting flowers is a hobby. It won't be tiring." Cheng Qingyun said confidently.

"Hahaha, ma'am, can we have dinner now?" asked Father Chi.

Cheng Qingyun nodded politely.

Chi Li smelled the fragrance and came to the restaurant. She pulled out a chair and sat down. She swallowed and looked at the door frequently.

If those two don't come over, she'll starve to death, Chi Li thought exaggeratedly.

Cheng Qingyun didn't let Chi Li wait too long. Chi's father pulled the dining chair out from under the table and Cheng Qingyun sat down elegantly.

Father Chi picked up a piece of tempting pork ribs and put it into Chi Li's bowl, saying, "Come on, my dear daughter, eat more sweet and sour pork ribs. You are growing well."

Chi Li replied while wolfing down her food: "You're already in your twenties. If you're still growing, you should go see a doctor."

Father Chi choked up, picked up a large piece of fish for Cheng Qingyun, and said, "Wife, you have worked hard too. Try this braised fish. I stewed it for a while longer."

Cheng Qingyun joked, "Why don't you let me grow?"

"Hahahahahaha!" Chi Li laughed out loud.

"You two, mother and daughter, have teamed up to criticize me for not being able to speak, right?" Father Chi said aggrievedly.

"What's wrong? Is what you said wrong?" Cheng Qingyun said.

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right." Father Chi lowered his head helplessly and ate his meal.

The family ate and chatted, their laughter echoing in the house. Under the warm light, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and a happy atmosphere filled the whole room.

After finishing the meal, while cleaning up the dishes, Father Chi casually asked, "Why are you going back? Is that kid coming to pick you up?"

"Yes, he drove our car to pick me up." Chi Li said.

"Oh, it's very inconvenient that you only have one car. There are other cars at home. Do you think there is any you like?" Cheng Qingyun said.

When she heard that there was another free car, Chi Li became even more excited. She praised Chi's parents repeatedly and spoke sweet words like they were free.

The two were so happy that they were given cars and money.

As the sky darkened, Chi Li said goodbye to her parents and drove a white car out of the villa to go home.

She didn't tell Bai Zhenxi, thinking of giving him a surprise.

We drove all the way to the city and passed by the snack street. Although we were full, we were still greedy when we smelled the delicious food.

It wasn't too late anyway, so Chi Li parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the snack street.

There weren't many people around, and the street seemed a bit empty. As Chi Li walked on the road, she always felt a chill from behind.

She wrapped her coat tightly around her, stopped humming the song, and turned back suddenly. There was no one there, only the cool breeze.

Chi Li lifted her bangs and laughed: "Haha, you scared yourself."

Another gust of wind blew, and Chi Li still had a smile on her lips, when she felt her shoulder being pushed hard and fell to the ground. She only had time to let out a cry of surprise: "Ah!"

Chi Li was so frightened by the sudden attack that her mind went blank. She looked up and saw a man wearing a black mask and black clothes.

The man in black pulled out a sharp knife from his back. The sunlight shone on the blade, and the reflected light pierced Chi Li's eyes. She came to her senses instantly, her heart filled with fear, and she instinctively began to struggle.

The man in black swung his knife, but Chi Li relied on his survival instinct to roll on the ground and narrowly escaped the fatal blow.

Passersby heard the noise and rushed over. The man in black saw that the situation was not good and quickly fled the scene.

A girl worriedly helped Chi Li up and asked, "Are you okay? Are you hurt? I've called the police."

"Thank you, I'm fine." Chi Li said in a low voice, her eyes still filled with fear and her body trembling uncontrollably.
