Lu Chaochi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jiang Mian's eyes widen like a rabbit's.

“Dad has always been here,” Lu Chaochi said with a smile. “He came with me to pick you up from the hospital.”

Jiang Mian has recovered, and Lu Bozhou's appearance is not so scary anymore.

However, Jiang Mian never expected that this man would come to pick her up from the hospital.

After all, in her previous life, she couldn't even get him to accompany her to prenatal checkups.

But upon further reflection, I quickly understood.

Having just experienced such a dangerous incident, Lu Bozhou would definitely not let the child go out alone.

Lu Bozhou's subsequent words confirmed her suspicions.

“Lu Chaochi insisted on coming to pick you up, so I couldn’t let him go out alone,” Lu Bozhou said calmly.

Although I had already guessed this answer.

But in Jiang Mian's heart, a strange and uncontrollable sense of loss slowly welled up.

Whether in his past life or this life, he has never done anything 'for her'.

"Where should we eat?" Lu Bozhou asked.

Lu Chaochi readily agreed, "Ask Mianmian."

This puts her in a difficult position.

Jiang Mian thought to herself that, given her current identity, she had eaten mostly boxed lunches, and even Shaxian snacks were considered pretty good.

However, considering her experiences in her previous life, it raises some suspicions.

"I don't know." Jiang Mian shook her head. "Xiao Shitou should decide for himself."

Just after he finished speaking, Lu Bozhou seemed to scoff softly, and then said, "Let him decide, then it's fried chicken."

Jiang Mian blinked and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile. "He's just a kid."

It seems no child can resist the allure of KFC and McDonald's.

“He poops as soon as he eats, and it can last all day,” Lu Bozhou added.

Jiang Mian was taken aback and turned to look at Lu Chaochi.

Lu Chaochi murmured softly, "...It wasn't that serious in just one day."

Jiang Mian sighed, "Then it's up to President Lu to decide. As for the fried chicken, I'll see if I can make some cleaner and more hygienic versions at home later. Little Stone can eat it then."

The father and son seemed quite pleased with Jiang Mian's words.

Lu Bozhou: "Then I've made up my mind."

Lu Chaochi: "Yay! Mianmian is making fried chicken! Mianmian is making fried chicken!"

Lu Chaochi thought for a moment, then whispered, "That's right, Mianmian's injury hasn't fully healed yet, so it's definitely not suitable for her to eat fried chicken."

Jiang Mian smiled, and finally lowered her eyes to carefully open the gift box.

The five fingers that lost their nails haven't fully grown back yet.

But the surface looks like it has a thin layer of shell or flesh or skin, anyway, there's no more bleeding.

However, my fingers sometimes couldn't grip the box tightly, so it took several tries to open it.

There was a painting inside.

Lu Chaochi's paintings are different from the abstract paintings of ordinary children.

He painted very meticulously.

In the painting, he, Mianmian, and his father are sitting in a car together.

All three of them had smiles on their faces.

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of how the three of them had talked together just now.

“This is…” Jiang Mian looked at Lu Chaochi.

He smiled and said, "This is what it will look like next time we go camping."

Jiang Mian remained silent; she wasn't sure what had happened after this incident.

Will they have another chance to go camping?

She looked at the seat in front of her.

But she didn't hear Lu Bozhou's straightforward rejection.

Perhaps, there is still a chance?

Lu Bozhou booked a Cantonese restaurant, a private kitchen.

It is a very elegant garden villa.

It looks very high-end and very expensive.

Jiang Mian didn't have any objections; since she was eating at the boss's restaurant, she shouldn't be picky.

But Lu Chaochi seemed somewhat unhappy to see him here.

After Lu Bozhou got out of the car first, Jiang Mian quickly asked him, "What's wrong? Don't you like the food here?"

Lu Chaochi pouted, "I don't like that auntie here."

"...Auntie?" Jiang Mian felt like she understood a little.

"Hmm." Lu Chaochi nodded. "I don't even know if we're here to eat, or if she's here to eat Dad's food."

Just as Lu Chaochi said this, Lu Bozhou opened his car door.

Hearing this, she raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly. "She's not here today. Don't look so down. If you hadn't insisted on coming out today, I wouldn't have had to make this trip."

As she spoke, she bent down and unbuckled Lu Chaochi's car seat buckle. Then she lifted him out of the chair.

As Lu Chaochi put his arm around his father's neck, he continued to pout and said, "If she hears you're coming, she won't even need half an hour; she can get to the battlefield in ten minutes."

As Lu Chaochi spoke, he deliberately lowered his originally soft and sweet voice.

He whispered, "The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in ten minutes! Prepare for battle!"

Jiang Mian wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold it in.

That half-smile made his face look strange.

Lu Bozhou only glanced at her briefly before noticing the strange expression on her face. "Funny?"

Jiang Mian quickly raised her hand and rubbed the corner of her mouth. "No."

Lu Bozhou seemed to twitch the corners of his mouth, but Jiang Mian felt that it wasn't a smile.

But what it means is something even more terrifying.

The private room was set up in a very elegant waterside pavilion, with a window that offered a perfect view of the lotus pond outside.

"Mr. Lu, welcome." A man dressed in a Hanfu long robe walked in, looking very gentle and refined.

"Shall we order from the restaurant today, or have the kitchen prepare it?"

"Make the arrangements," Lu Bozhou said calmly.

"Okay, we'll arrange it according to your and the young master's tastes. Does the lady traveling with us have any dietary restrictions?"

Jiang Mian was about to say that she didn't have any dietary restrictions.

Then Lu Bozhou said calmly, "She had surgery not long ago."

"Understood. Please wait a moment, all three of you."

The man quickly went out to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Lu Chaochi greeted Jiang Mian with a smile, "Mianmian, come here quickly, these crispy corn chips and crunchy peas are delicious!"

Jiang Mian walked over and tasted it, looking at the lotus pond outside from the bedside, and felt a sense of peace and tranquility settle down in her heart.

But this peace and tranquility did not last long.

Before long, the kitchen started serving the dishes.

The man who came with the dishes was no longer the gentle and refined man who had helped them order earlier.

Instead, it was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, wearing an antique-style long dress.

Her waist-length hair cascaded down her back, giving her a gentle and graceful appearance and an ethereal气质.

It perfectly complements this elegant place.

As soon as she arrived, Lu Chaochi pouted.

This is in conjunction with what Lu Chaochi said earlier.

Jiang Mian knew that this was the 'auntie' that Xiao Shitou had mentioned.

Jiang Mian was still somewhat shocked, not because this woman was the 'aunt' Lu Chaochi had mentioned.

But the woman in front of him was someone he actually knew.

Or rather, it was someone I knew in a past life.

"You..." The man's expression changed slightly when he saw Jiang Mian, his gaze fixed on her. "Jiang Mian...?" [Qiqi is here to ask for votes and favorites! I ate stir-fried spicy and sour banana cores today, so delicious!]
