Luo Yan grabbed a passing waiter and pointed to the menu.
Xiang Yu's smile remained unchanged. "Comrade, my child would like to order some dishes. Could you please write it down for me?"
The waitress was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, whose love for children was evident. She took out a pen and paper and said...
"What would you like, sweetheart?"
Luo Yan pointed to the signature dishes of Fangshan Restaurant, namely "Four Grabs" and "Four Crisps," and then ordered braised cabbage with chestnuts and premium tofu.
As for the eight delicacies from above and below, Luo Yan will not order them; she will save them for when Xiang Yu treats her next time.
The waiter noted down the dishes Luo Yan ordered and praised them in surprise.
"I didn't realize the kid was so good at ordering. They ordered all of our restaurant's signature dishes. That's amazing."
Xiang Yu curled her lips into a smile, her face full of pride, "That's right, my Yan Yan is the smartest and most classy."
Luo Yan looked at Xiang Yu, who was praising her so highly, and found no flaws in his words, as if he was truly proud of her precocious intelligence.
After the food was prepared, it was packed into four large food boxes. Xiang Yu paid the deposit for the food boxes and had two bodyguards carry them out to take a car back to the hospital.
The room in the west gate was a single room, and Xiang Yu had prepared a folding table for it beforehand.
Luo Yan glanced at the folding table, which was about 1.3 meters in diameter, enough to hold the dishes.
Xiang Yu set up a folding table and personally served the dishes. Xiangzi, who had gone back to the station to pick up his relatives and then rushed back, helped with the preparations. Luo Shicheng stayed with Ximen Bei the whole time, talking to him without moving an inch.
Ximen Bei sat in the main seat, pulling Luo Shicheng to sit on his left, Xiang Yu to sit on his right, Luo Yan next to Luo Shicheng, and Xiangzi to sit beside Xiang Yu.
Ximen Bei picked up his chopsticks and first put a stir-fried prawn on Xiang Yu's plate, then a piece of crispy pork on Luo Shicheng's plate, then a crispy chicken leg on Luo Yan's plate, and finally a piece of stir-fried pork kidney on Xiangzi's plate, making Xiangzi both laugh and cry.
Luo Yan said, "Thank you, Great-Grandpa."
Although she said it, Luo Yan didn't touch it until Ximen Bei started eating, at which point she took a small steamed bun and ate it herself.
The small steamed buns are made with millet flour, corn flour, corn flour, and chestnut flour. They are small, delicate, and golden in color, and are especially fragrant when spread with hazelnut spread.
Luo Yan ate elegantly, chewing slowly and deliberately. She directed Luo Shicheng to serve her food, and if she didn't like something, she would eat the first bite. If Luo Shicheng offered her more food, she would immediately wave her hand and refuse.
How could a three-year-old baby eat so deliciously? Ximen Bei stole glances at Luo Yan and then glanced at her again and again. Unconsciously, he followed Luo Yan's taste and picked up a piece of fish slice to eat. It was indeed fresh, fragrant, smooth and tender and very delicious.
Although the little girl was a bit stubborn and didn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young, she had a good palate, and Ximen Bei ate happily.
Luo Yan ate until her tummy was bulging, finished the last piece of tofu on her plate, and patted Luo Shicheng.
"Are you full?" Luo Shicheng asked.
Luo Yan nodded and said to Ximen Bei in a childish voice.
"Great-Grandpa, have some delicious food."
I'm full, you can eat more.
Ximen Bei raised his head and grunted through his nose. Luo Shicheng then picked up Luo Yan and put her down, instructing her not to run around.
Luo Yan was strolling down the corridor when she passed by the next ward and bumped into a woman who suddenly ran out.
The woman looked down and saw Luo Yan, then smiled.
"Little friend, whose child are you?"
This floor of wards is occupied by high-ranking officials. Luo Yan looked at the woman, who was dressed in a fashionable dress, wearing a Seagull watch, with her hair neatly combed back, revealing her graceful swan neck. Her face was clean and beautiful, with exquisite features, like a fairy.
Luo Yan pointed to 217.
"Oh, you're from the Ximen family, how adorable."
The woman held Luo Yan's hand affectionately, "Wait for me, Auntie will get you something delicious."
Without waiting for Luo Yan's reply, the woman quickly returned to the ward, and came out carrying a box of chocolates, five bananas and a large roll of hawthorn candy.
Luo Yan ran away while the woman went inside to get something; she ran to the bathroom to relieve herself.
When Luo Yan came out of the bathroom, she saw a woman helping a man with a sling into room 217.
Luo Yan was full of questions and was about to lean over to eavesdrop when Luo Shicheng, who came out from inside, picked her up.
"Come on, Dad will take you to Grandpa's house."
Why aren't you with your godfather anymore? Luo Yan asked curiously.
Xiang Yu and Xiangzi saw Luo Shicheng off, staying until they reached the hospital gate before returning home.
The two had just turned around when a car
The Chevrolet stopped in front of Luo Shicheng.
The car door opened, and the person in the driver's seat called out, "Third Brother, get in the car."
When Xiangzi heard this, he turned around, his eyes filled with resentment at being abandoned.
Luo Shicheng glanced at him and recognized him as the bachelor who had fought him the most fiercely in the past, then waved him away.
"Battalion Commander Luo..."
Just as the Chevrolet drove away, a woman's voice called out to Luo Shicheng from behind.
Luo Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the woman who had been about to give her the item earlier.
The woman looked around to make sure no one she knew was approaching before walking over.
"What's the matter?" Luo Shicheng's attitude towards women was not very good.
"I heard that Battalion Commander Luo is serving in Jiangcheng?"
Luo Shicheng nodded. "Yes, why?"
The woman hesitated, "Do...do you know Chen Yuanshan?"
"know."
"Is Yuanshan alright?"
Luo Shicheng frowned. "You're Zhou Bing?"
"You know me?" Zhou Bing's doe-like eyes widened, her pure and innocent expression endearing.
"I don't know him..."
Luo Shicheng was too blunt; Luo Yan felt embarrassed for Zhou Bing.
Luo Shicheng bluntly told Zhou Bing, "Try not to tell Chen Yuanshan about the beating you received in the future, as it will affect his work."
What?! I thought that man was a patient, but is Zhou Bing the one? Luo Yan was stuffed with gossip.
Luo Shicheng carried Luo Yan in one arm and a travel bag in the other, walking quickly away.
Luo Yan leaned on Luo Shicheng's shoulder, looking at Zhou Bing who was standing there blankly, looking dejected. She suddenly remembered Chen Yuanshan's sudden weight loss and dejection a few days ago.
Could it be that she's saddened to learn that her former lover is not doing well?
Hmm, with Chen Yuanshan's handsome looks, he's more than good enough for Zhou Bing. But just now, she saw that Zhou Bing's man was not only old but also short and fat. What is Zhou Bing after?
Just then, Luo Yan noticed that Luo Shicheng, who was carrying her through the streets and alleys, had stopped.
In the alley, five tall and strong men walked towards Luo Shicheng. Luo Shicheng turned around, and the bachelor, along with three thugs, smugly blocked his way.
"Three Madmen, it's time to settle our scores."
A scar ran from his left forehead to his right jaw on his face. His smiling eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his whole body exuded a bloodthirsty madness.
"How do you want to calculate this?" Luo Shicheng asked calmly, not taking the bachelors seriously at all.
"As long as you obediently let me beat you up and slash your face, I promise I won't lay a finger on your daughter."
The reason why nine of them dared to confront Luo Shicheng was because Luo Shicheng had a child with him. Children are a parent's weakness, and no matter how crazy Luo Shicheng was, he could only obediently submit for the sake of his daughter.
He wanted to take his daughter to see the place where he grew up, but someone deliberately made things difficult. Luo Shicheng put down his travel bag, lifted Luo Yan up with both hands, and put her on the top of the wall.
Luo Yan: "Daddy, you can do it!"
Seeing that Luo Yan was not only unafraid but also cheering him on, Luo Shicheng smiled and withdrew his hand, then fought with the nine people who rushed up.
After seven years apart, Luo Shicheng was even better at fighting than before, while the pampered bachelor couldn't even touch the hem of Luo Shicheng's clothes.
The bachelor, unwilling to accept defeat, drew his knife and charged at Luo Shicheng...
