At this point, a hint of disappointment flashed across Feng Zheng's face, but it disappeared in an instant, and he regained his arrogant demeanor.

Wan Qiqi noticed this and signaled Pingping to take care of Feng Zheng's feelings.

Pingping understood and walked to Feng Zheng's side. "Feng Zheng, my mother has prepared wine and dishes at the restaurant. Would you like to come with us?"

"Of course...of course I'm going home! What good food haven't I eaten? I don't need this!" Feng Zheng almost blurted out, but immediately stopped himself.

He and Pingping are getting along well now, but he wasn't invited to eat together at Xinglong Restaurant.

He knew that his elder brother and Wan Qiqi did not get along, and if he went, it would put both sides in a difficult position.

Also, he knew that Pingping missed her mother very much, and he didn't want to delay other people's family reunion.

“The Feng family certainly doesn’t lack food, but your brother asked me to bring some things back, which I forgot at the restaurant. Would you like to come with me to get them?” Wan Qiqi deliberately slowed down her speech and sized up Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng and his brother Feng Gan are actually quite similar in personality; they are both concerned with saving face, bold yet timid, but not bad.

Because she reconciled with Feng Gan, Wan Qiqi felt more favorably toward Feng Zheng.

Upon hearing this, Feng Zheng was caught in a dilemma.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, Pingping and An'an pulled the person towards their own carriage.

Wan Qiqi looked up at the servant of the Feng family's carriage and said, "Please tell your master that we're taking the young master to Xinglong Restaurant for a meal. He can come to pick him up later."

The servant hesitated, thinking that he couldn't make the decision and was afraid of being scolded when he got back.

“Go back and tell your master that Chen Guannian from the military office invited Young Master Feng to dinner. He won’t blame you.”

Chen Yongnian revealed his identity as a county official, and only then did the servant nod and drive the carriage away.

The children all got into the carriage, but Wan Qiqi didn't seem to be getting on, as if she was waiting for someone.
