Looking into Shen Fenghua's open and honest eyes, Li Yanran composed herself and said, "I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Don't come home for dinner tonight. I already sent your brother He to buy groceries since I knew you were coming back today. Let's get together tonight. Xiao Dong misses you terribly."

Shen Fenghua hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

Speaking of which, Shen Fenghua has been so busy with blind dates lately that she has completely forgotten about her godson.

It's time to go see them.

"become."

“Well…” Li Yanran spoke very quickly, “It’s okay to meet someone else along the way, right?”

Shen Fenghua: "!!!"

Her alarm bells went off. What was this thieving woman up to?

"you!"

She raised her hand, and the next second Li Yanran grasped it. "Little sister, trust me this time. I've met this young man before. He's really handsome and good-looking. He's also a soldier. He used to be a comrade-in-arms with your brother He. We've been through thick and thin together. We know each other's character inside and out!"

A soldier?

Shen Fenghua was momentarily dazed when the tall figure carrying two people reappeared before her eyes.

"And!" Li Yanran lowered her voice, "He was injured when he was in the army and can't have children."

Shen Fenghua: "???"

Wait a minute, why does this condition sound so familiar?

It's unclear what her motivation was, but after Li Yanran's repeated persuasion, Shen Fenghua finally relented.

It's just a meal; anything more is not possible.

At noon, Shen Fenghua ate the lunch that Li Yanran had brought. The meal was a well-balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and she ate happily, one bite after another.

He didn't forget to praise Li Yanran's cooking skills halfway through, which made Li Yanran so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "I was wondering why Xiao Dong is so glib now. It turns out he learned it all from you."

Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow and gave Li Yanran a flirtatious wink, "Sister, am I pretty?"

Li Yanran: "..."

She swallowed hard, and had to admit that, just looking at Shen Fenghua's face, it was simply stunning, absolutely gorgeous.

When she has a blank expression, she's an ice queen; but once she smiles, she becomes a bewitching enchantress. Her eyes can draw adoration from anyone she wants to look at.

"Don't look at me~" Li Yanran avoided Shen Fenghua's gaze and ate her food in silence, but the roots of her ears slowly turned red.

Shen Fenghua burst into laughter, "Hahaha, sis, your ears are red!"

"Shut up, can't even eating shut you up?"

.

That evening, Shen Fenghua arrived at Li Yanran's house with gifts. When she saw the tall man in her room, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Their eyes met, and the sharpness in his gaze made Shen Fenghua feel inexplicably guilty. She wanted to run away, but what should she do?

"Old He, what are you doing?" Li Yanran smiled, revealing her teeth. "Feng Hua is here, why don't you come out quickly?"

Li Yanran's lover didn't come out, but her son He Dongdong, like a little cannonball, screamed and rushed into Shen Fenghua's arms.

He was as excited as a fledgling bird, chattering away, "Godmother! Godmother! Godmother! I missed you so much, why did it take you so long to come~"

A weak voice sounded from behind Xiao Dong, "Mommy~"

Not to mention Shen Fenghua, even Li Yanran was stunned by Xiaobao's "Mom." Being straightforward, she blurted out, "What? Mom?"

While shocked, he glanced back and forth between the group of people.

Shen Fenghua: "..."

Very well, the situation is a bit unclear now.

Ten minutes later, the group sat on the solid wood sofa in the room, looking at the child playing in the sand on the floor, and a complicated expression appeared on their faces. "So, you two also met by chance?"

Shen Fenghua was quite frank, "Yes, it was a coincidence."

A glint flashed in Qi Ye's eyes, and he said softly, "Yes."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Fenghua with complicated emotions in his eyes, "I just didn't expect to see Comrade Shen here again."

Everyone present knew perfectly well that this meal was, in essence, a blind date, and that Shen Fenghua's presence here...

Shen Fenghua: "!!!"

Wait a minute, what kind of look is that?

It's like I've cheated on my wife.

She always acted mature and composed, but at this moment she couldn't help but reveal her true colors. She chuckled coldly, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and said meaningfully, "Yes, I didn't expect to run into Platoon Leader Qi here either. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Qi Ye: "." Is she being sarcastic?

When I looked up again, I saw Li Yanran and He Jun whispering to each other and exchanging glances.

"Ouch!"

Li Yanran was genuinely happy this time. After hearing the whole story, she realized that it all meant fate!

She had a feeling that this time, things would definitely work out.

Smiling, she said, "Look at the two of us. When guests come, all we do is sit and sit. You two watch the kids for a bit, and we'll go in and cook. It's just a few stir-fries, it'll be quick."

After saying that, the couple ran away as if they were being chased by dogs.

Shen Fenghua: "..."

She gritted her teeth.

"Comrade Shen," Qi Ye called softly, and Shen Fenghua subconsciously turned her head.

Qi Ye smiled slightly, "As you said, we really will meet again someday."

"You still remember?"

"certainly."

Honestly, when Shen Fenghua saw Qi Ye here, she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart. Something felt off. So he was also going on blind dates everywhere...

"Don't overthink it," Qi Ye handed over a glass of water. "I have no intention of going on any more blind dates. I'm here because I know the person I'm going to meet is you."

W-what?

Shen Fenghua blinked, somewhat bewildered, "Huh?"

“Yes, Brother He mentioned you to me today, telling me your name and deeds, and I matched up, so I came over.” Qi Ye pointed to Qi Nian’an, who was playing with a cloth tiger next to him. “He misses you a lot.”

Qi Nian'an noticed Qi Ye's gaze, her eyes wide with surprise, and hurriedly stood up, stumbling towards Shen Fenghua. She threw herself into her arms, saying, "Mom, I missed you."

"Call her Auntie," Shen Fenghua corrected, "not Mom."

“It’s Mom,” he said, his dark eyes filled with determination. “It’s Mom.”

Shen Fenghua: "..."

helpless.

Qi Ye stood up and lifted Qi Nian'an directly from Shen Fenghua's arms.

Qi Nian'an: "..." Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Qi Ye asked softly, "What's your name?"

"...Auntie."

Shen Fenghua was speechless. You little brat, you're really good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
