......

Feng Zhiyi and Lu Xiaoling took the children out of the hospital. It was already past one in the afternoon, so they were about to go to the restaurant for dinner. Just at this moment, the stomachs of the little ones began to growl again.

"Dad, Mom, I'm hungry. Big brother and second brother are hungry too." Lu Xiaoning said crisply.

"Mmm, I'm starving! My stomach is practically flat from hunger!"

As soon as Lu Zirui saw his sister speak, he immediately nodded vigorously in agreement. As he spoke, he even touched his belly in a very serious manner. Although his little belly was clearly round and bulging, he had flattened it because he wanted to eat.

Lu Ziheng rolled his eyes at his younger brother, wanting to say that he was childish, but unexpectedly, at this moment, his stomach began to growl again.

Lu Ziheng, “…”

Her little face turned red immediately.

"Sorry, babies, you're hungry! Let's go eat now!"

Feng Zhiyi was amused by the children's innocent reactions, especially Ziheng's pink face, which was not in line with his adult-like temperament at all.

Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Ziheng's back tensed instantly.

He always felt that his mother was laughing at him.

He pursed his lips and whispered, "Mom."

“Puff—”

Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh, mainly because Lu Ziheng's expression at that moment was just too adorable.

Lu Ziheng pursed his lips and looked at her. His eyes showed a hint of grievance and stubbornness. Feng knew what was happening and coughed hurriedly, "Ahem, Ziheng, Mommy is not laughing at you. Really, I can swear if you don't believe me."

As she spoke, she actually held up two fingers.

But she didn't expect that her baby Ningning would expose her secret the next second.

"Mommy's lying! This is how you make a vow!"

The little girl giggled and raised three chubby fingers, and finally showed them to Feng Zhiyi, as if to say, "Don't look at me as only two years old, but I know a lot!"

Hearing this, Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips slightly.

She turned to look at Lu Lingxiao, her eyes asking him where he had found such a clever and adorable little one.

She's also particularly good at acting cute and charming.

Lu Lingxiao gave her a meaningful look, his thin lips curled slightly, and then his deep voice rang out in the car, "Zhiyi, you have to know that there are no fools in our Lu family."

"So, don't think that just because these kids are young, they're easy to fool. None of these three are easy to fool."

This is his personal experience.

"Are you praising yourself in a roundabout way?"

Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but smile and glare at him.

Then, she asked him curiously, "By the way, just now at the hospital, Mayor Zhou insisted on asking our names. You suddenly changed your mind and told us our names. Was it because of me?"

"right!"

Lu Lingxiao nodded and expressed his thoughts and ideas. "At first, you didn't want to reveal your name, and I agreed. But when you told me you had a life-saving drug that could save Mayor Zhou's mother, my thoughts changed."

"However, I'm not doing this because I'm after Mayor Zhou's reward, but because I want to find you a powerful backer."

"Sure enough!" Feng Zhiyi smiled knowingly after hearing what the man said.

She looked at Lu Lingxiao and said with a light laugh, "I knew you changed your mind and gave up your plan to do good deeds anonymously, because you wanted to take this opportunity to make the Zhou family remember my kindness."

In this way, she can be said to have her own network of connections in Jincheng.

After all, being able to get along with everyone and having a wide network of connections is always beneficial in any era.

Right now, she lacks both connections and a powerful background. If she wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Lingxiao, she must have her own network of connections.

Therefore, Lu Lingxiao temporarily changed his mind and let her establish friendship with the Zhou family.

Today, she not only saved Old Mrs. Zhou's life, but also brought out the rare and priceless Angong Niuhuang Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine), and then gave them a ginseng that was over a hundred years old.

This has practically made the Zhou family owe three enormous favors.

As the top leader of Jincheng, Zhou Weiguo's words and actions carry weight. With his support, everything will go much more smoothly for her in Jincheng, whether she is opening a store or getting a business license.

No one dares to cause her trouble.

"I'm glad you don't blame me for changing my mind without your permission!" Lu Lingxiao's lips curled slightly, and a touch of tenderness unconsciously filled his deep eyes.

Actually, he also thought that Feng Zhiyi didn't have any family members to support her. Although he was there, he was too busy and often had to go on missions, so he couldn't always be by her side.

If someone takes advantage of his absence to cause trouble for Feng Zhiyi, then at this time, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to protect her.

And the opportunity right now is just right.

With this in mind, Lu Lingxiao decided to seize this opportunity!

It's good to do good deeds anonymously, but if Feng Zhiyi can use today's events to establish a relationship with the Zhou family, she will gain a valuable connection and have someone to back her up in the future.

Feng Zhiyi smiled at him, "You're doing all this for my sake, why would I blame you?"

She's not the kind of ungrateful woman.

Lu Lingxiao smiled and then remained silent.

Because we have arrived at the state-owned hotel.

A family of five walked into the restaurant and found a seat by the window.
