Jiang Tingzhou turned his head and gently kissed the woman's neck: "You didn't eat anything just now, are you hungry? I just asked Lü Wei to buy some takeout, it should be delivered soon."

Xu Wan sat up slightly, looking at the man's face with surprise. "Weren't we just together? When did you say that?"

"I gestured to him in the garage. He's worked for me for a long time, so he's got that much sense," Jiang Tingzhou explained naturally.

A few days ago, Xu Wan asked Lü Wei when he found out that Jiang Tingzhou was Ryan.

Lu Wei gave her a very short timeframe.

But Xu Wan had another suspicion in her mind, and couldn't help but ask the man for confirmation, "You didn't have contact with Lü Wei all along, and were you monitoring my every move?"

“No, I only decided to reconnect with Lü Wei and Zi Yu a few days ago.” Jiang Tingzhou placed his hand on the woman’s waist and said seriously, “When I got into trouble back then, the mastermind was here. I came back to see how he regretted his actions.”

"It's Jiang De'an, right?"

The man didn't answer the woman's question directly, but gently patted her lower back. "Let's eat first. We have plenty of time tonight. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

Just as the man finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Xu Wan got up to open the door.

She had assumed that the takeout Lu Wei had ordered was just ordinary packaged food, but to her surprise, there were seven or eight formally dressed men and women standing at the door, carrying large and small bags.

"you……"

"takeout."

The man, who had put on a coat and arrived in a wheelchair, answered her.

Since Jiang Tingzhou had said so, Xu Wan stepped back and gave up her spot by the door.

The group put on shoe covers and entered the house.

Xu Wan then realized that the bags and packages these people were carrying were not takeout orders, but all sorts of ingredients, and even pots and pans.

Xu Wan sat at the dining table, watching the chef busily working in the kitchen, and the waiters serving them dish by dish.

When the second dish was served, Xu Wan, remembering Jiang Tingzhou's injuries, couldn't help but say, "Why don't we have them prepare the dishes and leave them there, so we can eat later..."

"It's alright," the man said. "There aren't many dishes, take your time."

The meal consists of nine courses, including bread served before the main course.

By the time we finished with dessert, about an hour and a half had passed.

While they were having dessert, the waiters were already cleaning up the kitchen.

After the dessert was finished, one waiter came to clear away the plates, cutlery, and cups, while another waiter removed the vase and tablecloth.

Less than five minutes after we finished dessert, the waiters and chefs had already left, and the kitchen and restaurant were spotless, as if no one had ever been there.

Xu Wan got up and walked to Jiang Tingzhou's side. She slightly lifted the collar of the man's loose clothes to take a look and asked in a low voice, "Has the wound reopened? Let me apply the medicine for you again."

"No need." Jiang Tingzhou held the woman's hand, turned his head and asked her, "Do you want to go upstairs to see Xiaoxiao?"

Xu Wan knew why he asked that question.

She's going to spend a lot of time today learning about the years when men were absent.

“No need, my mom will put her to sleep. She usually doesn’t contact me before bed.” Xu Wan lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat guilty. “I’ve been too busy these past two years. I haven’t spent much time with her, and I haven’t taken her on many trips.”

Jiang Tingzhou squeezed the woman's hand slightly, "I hope my surgery will be successful, and I will try to spend more time with her in the future."

Xu Wan also hoped that Jiang Tingzhou's surgery would be successful.

Although she herself does not mind whether a man has a physical disability.

But if the man's surgery fails and he is confined to a wheelchair for life, Xiaoxiao is still young and needs to go to school. Young children are not as tactful as adults, and some children may harbor evil intentions that they may reveal without reservation, potentially mocking Xiaoxiao and affecting her mental well-being.

Xu Wan pushed the man back to the bedroom, wanting to check his wounds again.

As the wheelchair moved, she tentatively asked, "When is your surgery? I'd like to go to the temple to pray for you, hoping that Buddha will bless you with a successful surgery."
