President, please comfort me.

All of this happened too fast, as if in the blink of an eye. However, at this critical moment, a figure rushed over like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lin had arrived. He reached out and shoved the waiter aside. Then, he quickly grabbed Chen Nuo, who was still in a daze, and forcefully pulled her to his side.

Chen Nuo was clearly terrified by this sudden turn of events, and for a moment she couldn't even utter a word. Her beautiful starry eyes were wide open, and her face was filled with fear.

Seeing her like this, Ye Lin felt even more flustered. On one hand, he was secretly glad that he had returned in time; on the other hand, he regretted bringing her to such a noisy and chaotic place to eat.

He held Chen Nuo's arm tightly, afraid that if he let go, she would be in danger again. With his other hand, he gently embraced her slender waist, carefully protecting her.

His face was pale, his expression was extremely tense, and his eyes scanned Chen Nuo up and down urgently, not missing a single hair.

Finally, after a thorough examination, confirming that Chen Nuo was unharmed, Ye Lin felt a slight sense of relief. However, his throat felt constricted, and he managed to ask with difficulty, "Are you alright?"

Chen Nuo nodded slightly, his mind involuntarily recalling the last time at the Ice and Snow Park, when he had also appeared in time to help.

Her voice softened considerably, as if it contained a hint of dependence: "Yes, thank you for helping me again."

Ye Lin had no time to consider anything else; he was filled with lingering fear, which instead gave rise to a surge of reckless courage.

He swiftly reached out and gently pulled Chen Nuo to his side, then opened his arms and embraced her tightly. At the same time, he gently stroked her back with his hand, his movements tender and soothing, as if he were carefully comforting a frightened fawn.

"It's all my fault for bringing you to this terrible place." Ye Lin's voice trembled slightly, even with a hint of sobs.

If anything were to happen to Chen Nuo today, I would definitely be too embarrassed to bother her anymore.

Chen Nuo noticed his hot breath brushing against her ear and instantly understood the intense self-blame deep in his heart.

She didn't immediately break free from his embrace. Instead, she raised her hands and gently patted his back a few times, softly comforting him, "It's alright, it's alright, how can I blame you? And look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" The waitress scrambled to her feet, her once fair hands now red and swollen, but she paid no heed to that. Instead, she rushed to Ye Lin and Chen Nuo, her face full of guilt and fear as she apologized repeatedly.

Ye Lin turned around abruptly, his face full of anger, looking like he was about to explode in fury.

Seeing that the waiter's injuries were quite serious and his apology seemed sincere, Chen Nuo didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he spoke up first: "Okay, let it go, you should take care of your hand injury first."

Upon hearing this, the waiter felt as if he had been granted a pardon, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you!" As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. Then, supported by his colleagues, he slowly left the scene.

After all that commotion, Ye Lin grabbed Chen Nuo's hand and turned to leave with Yueyue.

Seeing that most of the dishes had been served, and considering that Yueyue seemed a bit tired, Chen Nuo quickly suggested, "Why don't we eat here? It's getting late, let's go back early after we finish eating."

Ye Lin always went along with whatever she said, and although she was still feeling resentful, she agreed: "Okay, whatever you say."

Yueyue, who had been observing Ye Lin closely, naturally noticed that Ye Lin was in a bad mood. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Chen Nuo with a grin: "Teacher Nuonuo, don't you think my uncle is amazing!"

Chen Nuo felt a little apprehensive, fearing that her unrestrained little mouth might utter some shocking words again. So, he quickly replied, "Yes, very impressive."

However, Yueyue didn't stop there. She continued to chatter on and on: "He's not only amazing, but also super rich. He's gentle and considerate to girls, and incredibly generous! You promised me earlier that if you were to find a boyfriend, you would definitely consider him first, and you absolutely can't lie to a child!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo's heart suddenly raced, as if it were about to leap out of his throat.

She hurriedly interrupted Yueyue, "Oh, Yueyue, let's eat first."

Just then, Ye Lin, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Chen Nuo.

He had clearly heard every word Yueyue had said. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then asked, "Is what Yueyue said true? You agreed?"

Faced with Ye Lin's direct question, Chen Nuo panicked and subconsciously frowned slightly, her voice unconsciously taking on a slightly coquettish tone: "I'm hungry, Ye Lin."

Seeing Chen Nuo's appearance, Ye Lin was taken aback at first, then laughed, completely different from before, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's eat first."

Seeing this, Yueyue also laughed happily, and for a moment, the dinner table was filled with cheerful laughter.

After dinner, Ye Lin suddenly decided to take Yueyue to McDonald's. Yueyue was stunned by this unexpected surprise, as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

It was already 7 p.m. when they left McDonald's. After a long day of traveling, Chen Nuo felt a wave of fatigue wash over her as soon as she got in the car. In less than half an hour, she couldn't resist the drowsiness any longer, and she leaned back in her seat and fell asleep.

On the contrary, Ye Lin and Yueyue were like two energetic calves, still full of vigor and vitality.

Especially Yueyue, after wolfing down her hamburger, saw that Chen Nuo was already fast asleep, and she couldn't contain her excitement, so she eagerly started to unwrap the gifts.

As Ye Lin drove, he kept glancing at the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye until Yueyue let out a soft "wow" and carefully took out a pink and tender strawberry bear plush toy from the gift box.

"So cute! Teacher Nuonuo really understands me so well!" Yueyue's voice rose a little in her excitement.

Ye Lin quickly stopped him: "Shh, keep your voice down!"

"Oh, oh, oh, right, right, right." Yueyue quickly covered her mouth.

Immediately afterward, Ye Lin's eyes lit up, and he started to plot. He began to coax the child in a soft voice, "Yueyue, can you give this strawberry bear to your uncle? Your uncle will give you a bigger one another day."
