Chapter 155: On the way, especially today

Lao Mao was the first to react. He didn't expect that he would witness this scene when he was delivering food to them.

The old cat quickly turned around and said to avoid suspicion: "Hey, it's time to eat."

"Come in." Lu Chen sat down.

Xie Wantang glared at Lu Chen fiercely, dissatisfied and angry.

He should thank Lao Mao properly. If Lao Mao hadn't suddenly come in to bring them food, Lu Chen would have been slapped by her just now.

"Eat it while it's hot and talk after you're done." Old Cat advised, noting that the atmosphere was still awkward.

"knew."

"Thanks."

The two people said in unison.

Seeing the two of them getting along so well, Old Cat smiled.

"You're welcome, Miss Xie. If you don't like it, please tell me. You'll have plenty of opportunities to eat here in the future."

"good."

When talking to Lao Mao, Xie Wantang was generous and not shy.

"Let's go." Seeing the warning shot from Lu Chen, Lao Mao knew that he had talked too much and left quickly.

Xie Wantang sat down and said that Lao Mao’s cooking skills were really good.

Before long, Xie Wantang's portion was gone.

"Do you still want to eat?" Lu Chen asked at the right time.

"I don't want to eat anymore." Xie Wantang wiped his mouth.

Her appetite wasn't as big as he thought.

"Then let's continue talking about our daughter's paintings." Lu Chen also put down his chopsticks. More than half of his lunch box was left.

"...You only eat that little?" Xie Wantang didn't want to say too much and appear to care about him.

But she couldn't help it after all.

The Lu Chen in her memory couldn't have such a small appetite.

"My stomach is hurt. Now I can't eat too much at one time. I have to eat small meals frequently." Lu Chen explained.

It's a blessing to be able to come back alive.

It is normal for body organs to be damaged in one way or another.

The fact that he was able to successfully escape from the center of the explosion without being torn to pieces was a testament to the skills of a special forces soldier.

Fortunately, I have not forgotten the skills I learned in training at the base.

Otherwise, he really won't be able to come back.

Xie Wantang didn't say anything, but corrected Lu Chen, who had just called his daughter, "Team Leader Lu, my daughter's name is Xie Qingqian. You are allowed to call her Qianqian."

The main reason is that Qianqian likes others calling her by her nickname, especially the person she likes.

That night, she was looking forward to Lu Chen so much that she simply treated Lu Chen as the person she liked.

Lu Chen could call his daughter by her nickname, but he could only call her by her nickname.

She wanted him to always remember that she was her daughter, her own daughter, whose surname was Xie, and had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, let's continue talking about Qianqian's paintings, okay?" Lu Chen compromised.

"certainly."

The two chatted about Qianqian's two boxes of paintings for another afternoon. When it was time to prepare dinner, Lao Mao pushed the door open and asked, "Would you two like to have dinner here or at a restaurant out there?"

The reason why Lao Mao asked this was mainly because he wanted to get Lu Chen a chance to be alone with him.

If you stay here with him all the time, you can only talk about business matters and not personal matters.

And he hoped that they could have time and space to talk about personal matters.

"No, I want to go home and eat." Xie Wantang checked the time. It was time for her to go home. "Team Leader Lu, let's stop here."

"Well, I just happened to have an appointment with someone, let's go together."

"Isn't it on your way?" Xie Wantang looked unhappy.

She really couldn't understand why Lu Chen thought that he could do whatever he wanted just because she had been with him for almost a day.

"It's on the way. Today, it's especially on the way." Lu Chen kept it a secret.

“…”

Xie Wantang's brows were furrowed in confusion.

However, Lu Chen had already taken the initiative to pick up the two boxes of paintings and walked out. He went straight to the trunk of Xie Wantang's car and waited for her to open the door so that he could put the paintings in.

Xie Wantang opened the door and was about to get in the car when Lu Chen snatched the car keys away. "It's almost rush hour, I'll drive."

“…”

Xie Wantang was speechless and went to open the back door.

After stepping up with one foot, Lu Chen was dissatisfied again, "Xie Wantang, you have no manners?"

"What's wrong?" Xie Wantang asked humbly.

"Do you think I'm a driver?"

"Team Leader Lu, isn't he particularly willing and good at it?" Xie Wantang didn't care about him, sat down, and closed the door with a bang.

Lu Chen also knew that she was angry.

At that time, Pei Xiao said that this time, Xie Wantang would definitely be the most difficult to appease.

It’s okay if she’s not easy to coax. Just give him time and opportunities, and he will coax her back no matter how hard it is.

Unless, he's dead.

Lu Chen let her do as she pleased, said hello to the old cat, and drove away willingly.

"Xie Wantang, it's you who understands me so well."

“…”

Xie Wantang’s inner thoughts: How shameless!

Xie Wantang: "Team Leader Lu, can you please drive properly? There are so many cars on the road."

"Okay." Lu Chen said in an indulgent and doting tone.

Xie Wantang secretly made a decision that no matter what he said, she would not respond to him.

On the way, Lu Chen stopped three times. The first time was at a fruit shop, where he bought a large box of fruit.

The second time was at a snack shop, with three one-meter-high snack gift packs.

The third time, we went to a children's toy store, with two boxes of Legos, watercolor pens, and drawing paper for Xiao Qianqian.

Xie Wantang looked at these things and guessed who he bought them for.

No, he just said it was on the way, so he meant to go to their house?

If that's the case, then it's really on the way.

"Team Leader Lu, you just said it's on the way. Are you going to our house today?"

"Yes, Lawyer Qin invited me." Lu Chen didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"My eldest brother?"

"yes."

Xie Wantang didn't know what to say. It seemed inappropriate for her to chase away her elder brother's guest. It wasn't her home alone.

Xie Wantang quickly took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to her eldest brother: "Brother, did you invite Lu Chen to our house today?"

"Well, how did you know? Did you meet him?" Qin Muyang was still in the studio, preparing to get off work.

"I guess so."

Xie Wantang was vague and didn't tell Qin Muyang that they were basically together the whole day.

Although they were talking about Qianqian's paintings, Lu Chen gave her a lot of inspiration.

"Since he is not dead, he should come home and give an explanation to our whole family. Tangbao, don't protect him." Qin Muyang said that he asked Lu Chen to come home just to punish him.

Of course, he could also look for Lu Chen alone outside.

However, Xiao Qianqian was looking forward to her father so much that he, as her uncle, really couldn't bear it.

He also invited them on behalf of his niece.

But it's not easy to tell Xie Wantang directly about this kind of thing. After all, they haven't had a chance to talk about what Xie Wantang thinks of Lu Chen.

Qin Muyang could actually wait, but they were in an organization and had to do serious work. Who knew what big things they would face in the future, so Qin Muyang didn't want to wait anymore.

"Tangbao, if you don't want him to come, then I'll tell him now not to come."

"No, we'll be home soon."

“…”
