Father Wu had a gentle demeanor, and his eyebrows and eyes resembled Wu Yue's somewhat. His voice had a unique magnetic quality that belonged to a middle-aged man: "Little Yue, what would you like to eat?"
The mother, sitting in the passenger seat, suggested, "How about Japanese food? Or steak?"
"I know a good restaurant, Mushroom Private Kitchen," Wu Yue said after thinking for a moment. "I want to eat Chinese food."
Mother Wu smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, just give me directions and we'll go there."
Mr. Wu used one hand to tap the phone screen a few times to find the location. "It's pretty close."
Ten minutes later, the three arrived at the entrance of Mushroom Home-Style Restaurant. Mr. Wu let the mother and daughter get out of the car first while he went to find a parking spot.
"Mom, you go in and order first, I'm going to buy something next door." Wu Yue glanced at a figurine shop next door and suddenly remembered a One Piece keychain she had seen in Yan Chiyu's drawer.
That guy—he must like One Piece?
Buying a figurine as a return gift for Cuihua should be fine, right?
"Mom will go with you," said Mother Wu, taking Wu Yue's arm.
Wu Yue smiled, patted her mother's hand twice, and said in a gentle tone, "It's okay, Mom. You go in first, otherwise Dad won't be able to find us when he comes. I'll be there soon, I'm right next door."
"Okay, okay."
Mother Wu looked up at the sign of the figurine shop, then took out a card from her bag and handed it to Wu Yue: "Honey, that thing is very expensive. Here, take it. The password is your birthday."
Wu Yue would never refuse a card given by her own mother.
She took it, her smile deepening: "Thank you, Mom."

Billionaire House.
The environment is clean and comfortable, with soft white light shining down from above. Glass display cases are filled with a dazzling array of anime and movie character figurines, all neatly arranged.
It was midday, students had just finished school, and workers had just finished get off work, so there weren't many customers in the figurine shop.
Wu Yue slowly walked past each shop window until she stopped in front of the glass cabinet displaying One Piece figurines. She bent down slightly and carefully looked at the exquisite and lifelike figurines. She couldn't take her eyes off each one.
I bet the Witch God wants to buy Lord Yan a return gift.
[You said you weren't moved, you said it wasn't love, but here you are, the gifts are already arranged!]
[Gifts are nothing, Cuihua is the true token of our love!]
Look at how carefully they're choosing a gift; that's the look of love.
[The Witch God's profile is so beautiful, I'm taking a screenshot!!!]
[Looking forward to Yanmei's expression when she sees the return gift, hahaha]
The One Piece display case is enormous, covering an entire wall, and is quite impressive to look at.
About half a meter away from her stood a boy, about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a black hat and mask. He was tall and straight, and his clothes looked expensive; they were a limited edition collaboration with One Piece, with prices but no availability.
While Wu Yue was choosing figurines, the boy suddenly spoke.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, Wu Yue was startled.
She looked up, completely bewildered. What? She was being questioned even for buying something?!
"..."
Wu Yue quickly realized that the other person wasn't talking to her. The person was wearing wireless Bluetooth earphones and was currently focused on selecting figurines from the display case.
He must be on the phone with someone else.
She calmed down.
One of the three great illusions in life is that others are talking to you.
Just as Wu Yue was about to look away, she heard the man say again, "Hurry up and pick me up, I'm afraid someone will recognize me."
The other person deliberately lowered their voice, clearly not wanting anyone to hear. Wu Yue's hearing was exceptional; she could hear everything clearly at this distance.
