"There are still seats in the elevator over there, let's go up." Xu Jingheng, carrying his son, went in first, and after his wife and daughter went in, he pressed the button for the fifth floor.

Xiao Qing, rarely seen outside, stayed obediently in her father's arms, her eyes sparkling as she looked around at everything.

"Excuse me, where is the seafood buffet restaurant?" Xu Jingheng stopped a young man and asked.

“Go to the right, walk straight for about 40 or 50 meters, then turn right again and you’ll see it. That shop is very big.”

The family thanked the young man and followed his directions. Just as he said, the shop was easy to find; it was the first shop on the right after walking a short distance.

"Manman Seafood Buffet, I never expected this restaurant to have the same name as my family's Manman." Mr. Xu looked up at the huge signboard and said with a smile.

Xu Qingman also noticed the shop name at a glance, surprised that Yu Jinchen had used her name as the shop name. Hearing her father's words, her ears burned, and she blushed as she pulled her parents inside.

"Dad, Mom, let's go in quickly. Look how busy the business is, we don't want to not be able to find an empty seat."

Upon entering the restaurant, one is immediately drawn to its unique layout. The wooden tables and chairs, combined with the marble floor, create a ambiance that blends natural simplicity with modern urban sophistication.

The tables range from small tables for two people to larger tables for four to eight people. Each table is covered with a white tablecloth and paired with exquisite tableware, making guests feel right at home.

The restaurant is divided into several areas, including a seafood area, a cooked food area, a cold dish area, a fruit and vegetable area, and a dessert area, all of which are filled with open-top freezers and refrigerators.

Xu Qingman could tell that Yu Jinchen had put a lot of thought into the store's decoration, and the fact that it was so popular despite only being open for a short time meant that the store must have something special about it.

The family ordered two hot pots, one spicy and one clear broth.

After the waiter brought the soup pot over and lit the alcohol to heat it up, Xu Jingheng and his son sat down. Xu Qingman pulled her mother along, and the two of them took two large trays and began to choose their favorite foods.

She first picked out some seafood she liked, then some fruits and vegetables. When she saw that there was minced meat stewed with egg, Xu Meifen quickly took a bowl. She had just been thinking that her son was too young and that the food here was not suitable for him, but now she had some.

Xu Meifen took her son into her arms and fed him spoonful by spoonful. Perhaps it was because of the shrimp pieces in the spoon that it tasted so good, the little guy kept trying to snatch the spoon from his mother and eat it by himself.

"Don't move, Mom will feed you. Don't reach out, be careful not to burn yourself." Xu Meifen once again pressed down on her son's fidgeting hands and fed him the last few spoonfuls of steamed egg custard.

The father and daughter found this scene quite amusing, as they rarely saw the little one so enthusiastic about eating.

Seeing that the food was cooked, Xu Jingheng first served some to his wife and daughter before eating it himself.

After finishing their meal, Xu Qing and her friend, who were placed in the high chair, watched their parents and sister eating heartily, and their mouths watered without them even realizing it.

Xu Qingman found it amusing, so she quickly blanched a slice of salmon in the clear broth, shredded it, and stuffed it into his mouth. The little guy's eyes widened after eating it; he had never eaten such delicious food before, and he clapped his hands vigorously, giggling.

A few days after eating seafood, Xu Qingman finally saw Yu Jinchen, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He was unshaven and looked particularly haggard, but his expression was very excited.

"Manman, are you home alone this time? I just saw Auntie carrying Qinghe out." Yu Jinchen climbed over the wall and eagerly hugged the little girl who was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.

Xu Qingman glared at him. This guy was really something, acting like a thief. But seeing how haggard he looked, she felt a little sorry for him.

She touched his face tenderly and asked in a sweet voice, "Brother Jinchen, what have you been doing all this time? How did you get yourself into this state?"

Yu Jinchen sat down and rested his head on her shoulder. "I'm planning to gradually move my business to Yangshi, and this trip is to take care of that. Manman, your acceptance letter has arrived, right? It's for a school in Yangshi, isn't it?"

"It's the University of International Business and Economics, English major," Xu Qingman replied with a touch of pride.

Yu Jinchen immediately gave her a thumbs up and praised, "Baby, you're so amazing! We won't have to be apart anymore. I'll definitely reward you properly today."

"No need... um." Yu Jinchen swallowed the rest of his words. So this was the reward he was talking about. Perhaps because they had been separated for so long, Yu Jinchen's kiss was as passionate as a storm, as if he wanted to devour the girl in his arms.

Xu Qingman also missed him very much. She simply closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and followed him into a long kiss.

After their passion subsided, the two sat embracing in the pavilion, neither speaking, enjoying the sweet atmosphere. After a long while, Xu Qingman softly asked, "Brother Jinchen, is your company far from our school?"

“It’s not far, baby, don’t worry. I’ll come to see you whenever I’m free. I don’t know if your school allows freshmen to live off-campus. I have a house nearby that you can stay in.”

After answering, Yu Jinchen kissed her on the cheek again. He didn't know why, but the girl seemed even more radiant than last time, and there was a faint fruity scent about her. Was she wearing fruit-scented perfume?

"I definitely want to live at school. My parents would never agree if I lived outside," Xu Qingman said, glancing at him coquettishly.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Jinchen, my family and I went to a seafood buffet a few days ago. I saw that your restaurant is called 'Slowly Seafood Buffet'. Why did you choose such a name?"

As she spoke, Xu Qingman's voice grew softer and softer. In fact, she had already guessed the reason, but she just wanted to confirm it.

He raised an eyebrow at her, and instead of answering, asked, "Baby, don't you know what I mean, hmm?" The last "hmm" carried a hint of teasing.

Xu Qingman was slightly burned by the affection in his eyes, and lowered her head to say softly, "I... I don't know. How would I know what your shop is for?"

He suddenly pressed his lips to her ear, gently biting it before slowly speaking, "Baby, now you understand, right?" His voice carried a hint of seduction.

Xu Qingman's body trembled slightly. She nudged the man beside her, but he still had a nonchalant expression.

She giggled twice, then suddenly leaned close to his ear and said in a sweet, coquettish tone, "Brother Jinchen, I just don't understand."

The girl's sweet voice rang in his ears, sending shivers down his spine. Was this girl trying to get revenge for his earlier actions? Since she was offering herself up, he wouldn't be polite.

He grabbed the girl who was trying to run away after flirting with him, held her tightly with one arm, and slowly brought his handsome face closer. "Since you don't understand my intentions, I'll show you with my actions."
