I realized once again how long I had been away from home.
So long that he could count the number of times he met the Song family on his ten fingers.
Xu Songyuan had just finished cooking one dish and was preparing the next when he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Song Guomin guarding outside.
Xu Songyuan frowned, told Chef Li to cook the next dish, and then took off his apron and went out.
