"Can I have roast chicken?" Luo Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask cautiously.
After hearing this, Leng Mohan looked at her with concern and asked, "Can't you eat roast chicken?"
Luo Jiaojiao first shook her head, then nodded, and said softly: "Mom, she was my adoptive mother before, and now I should call her aunt." A trace of loss flashed in her eyes, thinking that they had severed their relationship.
"She doesn't allow me to eat hot food, saying that it will cause acne on my face, so I can't eat it." Luo Jiaojiao has always had a light diet, and she sighed silently.
Leng Mohan stared at Luo Jiaojiao, feeling a surge of pity and love in his heart.
Leng Mohan's gaze slowly fell on her clean, fair little face, without a trace of acne or pimples.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Luo Jiahui and his wife were really strict in disciplining her! However, all this was just for their own interests, without considering Luo Jiaojiao's preferences at all.
Leng Mohan looked at her distressedly and said softly, "It's okay to eat it once in a while. I'll make you some herbal tea when I get home. It won't cause acne. Do you want to eat it?"
How he wished she could be happier and not be so cautious all the time. Her pitiful look was heartbreaking.
After hearing this, Luo Jiaojiao turned her gaze to Leng Mohan, nodded vigorously, and said firmly: "I want to eat." Her eyes revealed her desire for delicious food, and a hint of dependence on him.
Seeing her like this, Leng Mohan felt delighted. He smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll bake it for you."
He hoped that Luo Jiaojiao could feel relaxed around him, show her true self to him, and that they were equals, instead of having to put herself in a difficult position and try to please him cautiously.
Luo Jiaojiao was filled with joy. She picked up the basket and proudly showed the matsutake mushrooms inside to Leng Mohan. At the same time, she pointed at the matsutake mushrooms she had placed aside, her face filled with pride.
Leng Mohan looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the basket was full of matsutake mushrooms. Wherever she pointed, there were also matsutake mushrooms. He couldn't help but be surprised.
Mu Bai sucked in a breath of cold air, his face full of disbelief. He walked over quickly, looked through it carefully, looked at Leng Mohan in shock and said, "They are all matsutake mushrooms, and they are all newly grown. My sister-in-law is so lucky that she has come across a matsutake forest!"
Luo Jiaojiao was not too sure either, she said softly: "I saw there were a lot, so I picked them all off."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Leng Mohan, her eyes full of anticipation, like a child longing for recognition from an adult, hoping that her efforts would be praised by Leng Mohan, letting him know that she was also valuable.
Leng Mohan was touched. He looked at Luo Jiaojiao and said with a hint of emotion, "It's amazing. You picked so many matsutake mushrooms in such a short time. It would take others a month or even longer to find them."
He recalled that he once spent a month picking, but his harvest was not as good as hers today.
Luo Jiaojiao was filled with joy when she heard Leng Mohan's praise, and her smile was as bright as the sun. She always believed that she was lucky, and the harvest this time proved it.
She said excitedly: "I can take them back and dry them, so that I can enjoy them anytime I want in the future." Her eyes revealed her anticipation for the future, as if she had already seen the moment when she would enjoy the delicious Matsutake mushrooms.
