Lan Jingyan nodded and sent a message.
"As long as the result is good! My mom feels much more at ease now. She hasn't been sleeping well these past few days because of this."
Lan Jingyan opened the passenger door and gestured for Yan Xiluo to get in.
"What? You don't want your car anymore?"
Yan Xiluo asked, amused, "Is he planning to drive her car?"
"It's okay, I've already messaged Xie Xun. What's the point of having him if he can't even handle something this simple?"
Lan Jingyan helped Yan Xiluo fasten her seatbelt and then leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Hmm... he'll be heartbroken if he hears that."
Yan Xiluo couldn't suppress her laughter; the imagery was vivid.
"I believe these words won't make him more heartbroken than going to South Africa. Let's go. I'll take you to eat snail rice noodles; you haven't had them in ages."
Lan Jingyan started the car and turned the steering wheel.
"You used to hate it so much, but now you're totally in love with snail rice noodles. You miss it even more than I do?"
Yan Xiluo teased him, turning her head to look at him for a long time.
"I'll take you to try that newly opened place; it's close by."
Lan Jingyan suddenly remembered a video she had seen on her phone a couple of days ago, which seemed to show a newly opened snail rice noodle shop in this area.
It has high ratings and is very close by, so you can give it a try.
"Oh, you've already prepared the travel guide?"
How could she remember that they had only been back for a few days?
"Yeah, I saw it while scrolling through Douyin (TikTok)."
He just has a photographic memory; it's not really a strategy guide. He just randomly clicked on the comments section, and it looked pretty good.
"Then let's give it a try!"
She was also feeling hungry and wanted to eat.
Lan Jingyan's photographic memory had reached the point where she could accurately remember the location of the store, and she parked her car in front of the store.
Pulling Yan Xiluo inside, they found the snail rice noodle shop quite nicely decorated. After ordering, they casually found a comfortable spot to sit down.

Today, after getting off work, Li Shaochuan specially came to LFY Group to pick up An Xinyue, planning to cook a soup for her at noon to nourish her.
An Xinyue collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she got home.
"Phew~ So tired."
An Xinyue murmured to herself; she wasn't saying it to Li Shaochuan.
I didn't expect him to have such sharp ears; even though I spoke so softly, he still heard me.
"What? Is your workload heavy today?"
Li Shaochuan changed into slippers and sat down next to her, then casually placed her head on his lap.
"No, it's just that my legs were a bit weak last night, and I feel tired even when I'm sitting at work."
An Xinyue was like a deflated balloon, her voice weak and listless.
From Li Shaochuan's perspective, An Xinyue's pouty lips looked so cute that you just wanted to take a bite.
"Ahem, I didn't have much experience the first time... I'll be gentler next time."
Li Shaochuan coughed awkwardly twice; he had no idea how to control the force...
They were both so enthusiastic and impatient at the time...
"I already promised them I'd go go karting tonight, and they're all bringing their families, so I signed you up too..."
If she had known it would be so painful and tiring, she wouldn't have seduced Li Shaochuan.
We should wait until the competition is over before making any decisions.
It seems like we're more likely to lose tonight... but it's still not bad to have some fun.
They hadn't raced cars with Yan Xiluo in a long time; their races weren't really about winning or losing, but rather about having fun.
They love that atmosphere; in that moment, they feel relaxed and happy, free from all their worries, and truly free!
Of course! She was referring to both body and soul, not just one.
"It's okay, just have fun! I can keep you company."
Li Shaochuan gently stroked her upturned nose and then kissed her forehead.
"Okay! I'm getting up to cook. Today I'm preparing all your favorite dishes!"
Li Shaochuan carefully lifted her head and gently placed it on the sofa, then walked to the kitchen and skillfully tied on his apron.
An Xinyue watched the man's back as he went into the kitchen. This man had truly captured her heart through his stomach!
An Xinyue felt very happy at that moment. Before she could even put on her shoes, she sat barefoot in the kitchen and hugged him from behind.
My cheek was pressed against his broad back, which made me feel very safe and warm...
"Why did you run down again? Why aren't you resting properly? Didn't you just say you were tired?"
Before Li Shaochuan could even touch the rice cooker, An Xinyue hugged him, her two big hands holding his two small hands.
"Brother, I feel so happy! You're such a good cook!"
An Xinyue's face has started to get fuller, and she has gained a lot of weight. She used to be very thin, but now she only looks more slender.
It made her look more charming.
"We have to win over your stomach, you're such a picky eater."
Li Shaochuan joked that there were many vegetables she wouldn't eat, but after he worked hard to make delicious dishes, her pickiness has improved a lot.
"Why does it feel like you're saying the opposite of what you meant? Shouldn't I be the one saying this to you?"
An Xinyue moved closer to him, resting her chin on his chest and looking up at him.
An Xinyue isn't exactly a great cook, but she's alright... It's cooked! Edible!
This is how people perceive her... She herself is well aware of this.
If it weren't for Li Shaochuan, she'd probably be eating takeout every meal, or maybe she'd be more diligent and eat at restaurants.
"Um... I don't intend for you to cook."
Li Shaochuan was stunned for a few seconds. Putting aside whether her cooking skills were good or not, she really hadn't thought of letting her cook. Giving her the opportunity to cook before was purely accidental.
"hey-hey!"
An Xinyue felt that she had become even more infatuated with him.
"Then I guess I'll just have to sit over there and wait for my food!"
Only then did An Xinyue agree to let go.
Why are you running over here barefoot again?
Li Shaochuan was clearly unhappy, as An Xinyue often disliked wearing shoes and would run around barefoot.
"I forgot."
So excited I forgot...
"It looks like we'll have to lay blankets all over the place in winter."
Li Shaochuan was somewhat helpless. Wouldn't he get sick if he kept running around like this in the dead of winter?
"No need, no need, I can remember to put on my shoes!"
It's so cold in winter, she's not a furnace! She still cherishes her life.
"Alright, alright, you should go back to the sofa and rest."
Li Shaochuan couldn't do anything about her, so what could he do? He just had to spoil her!
"Yes, yes! Go for it, brother!"
An Xinyue giggled foolishly, then ran back to the sofa in a silly manner, and jumped down onto it.
The noise from the sofa made Li Shaochuan put down what he was holding and peek out. Seeing that she was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I absolutely love my brother, he's such a great cook!"
An Xinyue couldn't help but share her joy with Li Mufei and Yan Xiluo; she truly felt happy.
"Ahem... This is too much of a show, and it's too sweet... It's getting cloying!"
Li Mufei said something nonchalantly, but she was already used to it.
Because Li Shaochuan himself is a real show-off!
