Thinking of her two treasures, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but smile.

"It's really a blessing to have a playmate who you grew up with. I also had a childhood playmate, but we lost contact because he went to France."

This was the first time Lin Yuqing heard Zhang Kaifeng talk about his friends, oh, of course, friends other than Mark, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

Setting her sights on Zhang Kaifeng, Lin Yuqing asked, "Didn't you go look for your friends after you came back?"

Zhang Kaifeng shook his head and said, "He has his own life. Why should I bother him?"

"How can this be considered disturbing?" Lin Yuqing sat up straight and said seriously, "Childhood friendship is the most precious, and aren't you curious about what your little friend has become?"

"I know he's an ordinary salesperson now, has a son, and lives a happy life. But we've never met, and he doesn't know I've ever seen him through the glass."

Lin Yuqing didn't understand Zhang Kaifeng's motives. She frowned slightly and asked, "Since you were so close, why didn't you say hello? Or do you think his identity as a salesperson doesn't make him worthy of being your friend?"

"On the contrary, I'm not worthy of being his friend anymore." Zhang Kaifeng sighed at Lin Yuqing's surprised gaze. "He's still the same as he was back then, a kind person. Although our life was ordinary, we felt at ease. But I've changed. My hands are stained with blood. I'm no longer the young man worthy of his confidant."

Pursing her lips gently, Lin Yuqing didn't expect Zhang Kaifeng to comment on their youthful friendship in this way. It must have been very hard on Zhang Kaifeng at the time.

Turning her head to look at Zhang Kaifeng's resolute profile, Lin Yuqing found that he was not as strong as she thought. This man was just like an ordinary person. He could be fragile, hesitant, and sad.

Andy seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the car was a bit heavy, so he turned on the CD player, and a soft music slowly flowed in the car.

Feeling Lin Yuqing's gaze, Zhang Kaifeng smiled at her and said, "Why, are you feeling sorry for me?"

"I don't think you're pitiful. I just feel sorry for you." Wealth and power are indeed tempting, but losing the most precious thing in human nature is not necessarily a blessing.

Although a trace of bitterness crossed his heart, Zhang Kaifeng still smiled affectionately and said, "Seeing me, you should know how to protect Xuan'er. Xuan'er is a smart child. Everything he is going through now is somewhat similar to what I went through back then. If I don't handle it well, I will also regret it, right?"

Looking at Zhang Kaifeng's deep eyes, Lin Yuqing suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Boss, we're here."

Suddenly coming back to her senses, Lin Yuqing frowned slightly, opened the car door and walked out.

"Oh, you're finally here! We were starving!"

As soon as she saw Lin Yuqing, Fu Ni called the waiter and started taking orders.

Lin Yuqing hurriedly sat down next to Xuan'er and Zhenzhen. She smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, there was a traffic jam just now."

Zhenzhen hugged Lin Yuqing's arm and said happily: "Mommy, Mommy, you are finally here!"

Feeling really excited, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but grin.

But when she saw Zhang Kaifeng walking into the restaurant, she couldn't help but move closer to Fu Ni and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why did you invite Zhang Kaifeng?"

"It's lively when we all eat together," Fu Ni said nonchalantly. "Actually, I wanted to ask that guy to send someone to drive you here, but he said he hadn't eaten yet, so I just had to be polite and invite him. I didn't expect that guy to agree so immediately, which surprised me."

Sensing Lin Yuqing's silence, Fu Ni closed the menu, put her arm around Lin Yuqing's shoulders and said, "Since they're here, just be happy. It won't delay us anyway."

After saying that, Fu Ni waved to Zhang Kaifeng and said loudly: "Here!"

Zhang Kaifeng nodded to everyone gentlemanly and sat next to Dongfang Bai.

Passing the menu enthusiastically, Fu Ni said, "Just order whatever you want. It's our treat today."

Zhang Kaifeng took the menu with his slender hands, said "thank you", and began to look at it carefully.

Knowing that Zhang Kaifeng had a bad stomach, Lin Yuqing paid more attention when choosing dishes to see which ingredients were softer and would not burden the stomach.

Looking at what Lin Yuqing ordered, Fu Ni felt very strange and thought that this woman's taste today was so strange, completely different from before.

But when the meal started, Lin Yuqing and Zhang Kaifeng exchanged food, which surprised everyone.

Lin Yuqing calmly ate the food on her plate and looked at everyone calmly. She said, "I've learned some Chinese medicine maintenance knowledge from Xiao Kui these days. I know which foods nourish the stomach and which foods hurt it. Zhang Kaifeng hasn't recovered yet, so he naturally needs special care."

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Lin Yuqing forked a piece of cod into her mouth and said nonchalantly, "Maybe she's just gotten used to taking care of Judy. She'll show some concern when she sees someone injured."

Although this excuse was a bit far-fetched, it was better than nothing, so Fu Ni continued to follow Lin Yuqing's words.

"Look at me, I forgot Mr. Zhang hasn't recovered yet. If I had known, I wouldn't have booked this restaurant. It would have been much better for us to eat at a Chinese restaurant."

As Fu Ni spoke, she nudged Dongfang Bai with her elbow and gave him a wink.

Receiving Fu Ni's hint, Dongfang Bai nodded in agreement, then turned everyone's attention to the children and described their visit to the museum.

In fact, these people did not go to any museum just now, but discussed countermeasures in a nearby ice cream shop. After reaching a conclusion, they sat here and waited for the prey to come to them.

But I didn’t expect that the prey would bring a ferocious beast with it. I don’t know if today’s plan can succeed.

Looking at Zhenzhen with a faint smile, Lin Yuqing believed it and said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of aliens. Last time you said Martians were so handsome."

Zhenzhen was so focused on eating crabs that she accidentally asked about aliens. It was Xuaner who interrupted her and helped Zhenzhen out.

Lin Yuqing hadn't been so relaxed for many days. With her children and friends by her side, her appetite unconsciously increased.

Seeing Lin Yuqing's happy face, Zhang Kaifeng's heart was very calm. Isn't this the life he expected? Guarding the beloved woman and watching her laugh wantonly, this is enough.

Zhang Kaifeng lowered his head and pushed his plate in front of Lin Yuqing. Looking at her surprised eyes, he said, "I haven't touched this one yet."

"But didn't you just say you were hungry?"

"A little is enough for me. After all, I can't eat a lot in my current condition."
