After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Chen Mo turned to the side and pressed the speakerphone button.

"Feed? What's up?"

The voice on the other end of the phone clearly paused for a moment.

"Huh, why are you answering the phone? Where's Yujuan?"

Chen Mo raised his head, glanced at Lan Yujuan, and said with a smile:

"She's right next to me."

"Just tell me what's wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan immediately became anxious, patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, and quickly answered the phone.

"Sister Feifei, this is Yujuan."

The voice on the other end of the phone became noticeably warmer.

Where are you two now?

"I just saw Chen Mo's post on WeChat Moments, congratulations!"

"Are you coming home for lunch? I happen to be free today, so I'll have the housekeeper cook a few more of your favorite dishes!"

Lan Yujuan originally thought that Chen Mo was just joking when he said he would post it on his WeChat Moments.

After all, he doesn't usually keep a record of his life, and his social media is completely empty.

Unexpectedly, he actually sent out the marriage certificate, and he did it so quickly!

After hearing Chen Feifei's words, Lan Yujuan hesitated for a moment.

Regardless of the reason why the two got their marriage certificate, it's a fact now.

Once the news spreads, meeting up with each other's families for a meal will be unavoidable sooner or later.

She was about to agree when Chen Mo leaned over and directly refused.

"We agreed to go eat hot pot."

"I'm not going back at noon!"

Chen Feifei on the other end wanted to persuade him further, but Chen Mo said directly:

"Is there anything else important?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Chen Feifei quickly said, "Wait a minute!"

"Okay, then you guys go eat first!"

"I've prepared a wedding gift for Yujuan, I'll deliver it to 802 in a bit."

"Qin Su said you changed the password to the door lock?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said calmly:

How did he know the combination to lock room 802?

"Have you been here in the last couple of days?"

Chen Feifei, sitting opposite him, sounded a little guilty and cleared his throat as he said:

"The old lady is a bit superstitious. She insisted on sending you a portion of the offerings she made for the ancestors during the Qingming Festival."

"I advised her not to send it, but the old lady wouldn't listen."

"A couple of days ago, Shuyi happened to be on holiday at home. She knew the password, so she accompanied the old lady to find you."

Chen Mo rubbed his temples and then recited a new string of numbers.

On the phone, Chen Feifei repeated what she had said while taking notes.

After taking notes, I hung up the phone.

Lan Yujuan sat next to him, and after hearing Chen Mo's new password, her eyes were filled with shock.

"Chen Mo, is there any special meaning behind your new password?" Lan Yujuan asked from the side, still somewhat incredulous.

Chen Mo glanced at her, then, while fastening his seatbelt and preparing to drive, calmly explained with a smile:

Xiaoman said it was her birthday.

"I was afraid I would forget it, so I changed it to the door lock code and reviewed it every day when I got home."

After listening, Lan Yujuan remained silent and stared at Chen Mo for a long time.

My daughter's birthday is actually easy to remember; it's the day before May Day, which is the end of this month.

However, Liu Zhiyuan, as his daughter's biological father, never remembered her birthday.

I only vaguely remember that my daughter was born on a warm spring day, I think it was in March or April.

Except for the day his daughter was born, when Liu Zhiyuan was by her side, he missed all her birthdays afterward.

If she hadn't brought it up herself, Liu Zhiyuan would never have thought of it on time.

But this man not only remembered his daughter's birthday, but also set it as the door lock password.

The hot pot restaurant that Li Rui recommended was located inside a shopping mall.

After arriving at their destination and parking their car, the two took the elevator upstairs.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Wait a mininute!"

Lan Yujuan subconsciously pressed the elevator button, and two more girls came in one after another, both going to the same floor.

Chen Mo moved two steps closer to her, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against the back of her hand.

Seeing that she didn't object, he took the opportunity to hook her finger around his.

Lan Yujuan couldn't make a scene because the elevator was small and there were other people present.

"Thank you! Are you going for hot pot?"

One of the cheerful girls naturally struck up a conversation with her.

Lan Yujuan was somewhat surprised, but she still nodded.

"Yes, a friend recommended a hot pot restaurant here, saying it's pretty good, so I came here specifically to try it."

"Are you here for hot pot too?"

The girl immediately nodded excitedly, "Yes, us too!"

"A well-known blogger visited this restaurant these past couple of days, and their video went viral!"

"This hot pot restaurant uses a secret recipe for its broth, made by the owner himself. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and they're currently having a fantastic group-buying deal!"

"Look, it's this blogger!"

Lan Yujuan was a little curious, so she leaned over to take a look and was immediately stunned.

"I heard this blogger had a pretty tough time recently!"

"During the Spring Festival, I attended a class reunion and accidentally offended a female classmate who was a mistress of a big shot. Her account was banned for more than a month."

"This restaurant review video is the first one this blogger has posted since resuming updates, and the fans are really supporting it!"

"This group-buying event, for example, only lasted two days after it went live, and already generated tens of thousands of orders!"

The two had just finished their conversation when, "ding~," the elevator arrived.

After exiting the elevator, the four were quickly separated by the crowd.

There were more people coming to eat hot pot and join in the fun than I expected!

Chen Mo held her hand as they exited the elevator, without letting go.

Seeing her looking down intently at her phone, biting her lip, and with a slight frown, I couldn't help but whisper a word of advice:

"If you feel uncomfortable, shall we go to another place?"

"No way!" Lan Yujuan said without looking up. "We're already here, we have to try it!"

Moreover, judging by this trend, for a long time to come, the number of diners coming here to explore the restaurant and follow the trend will only increase!

If it doesn't taste good, then so be it.

If it's really as delicious as Li Rui said, then she has to try it today no matter what!

"Alright, let's choose this 2-3 person set meal!"

After some calculations and comparisons, Lan Yujuan finally smiled after selecting the best solution.

After Chen Mo realized what was happening, he immediately burst out laughing.

"So, you were staring at your phone the whole time not to check Liu Qian's account, but to compare plans?"

Lan Yujuan nodded naturally, "Yes!"

"Although Liu Qian isn't a great person, she's really quite capable in her area of ​​expertise."

"Look at this 2-3 person set meal. It was originally almost 600, but now it's on sale for 6.1% off, so it's only a little over 300. What a great deal!"

"Let's go get a number and wait in line!"

As Lan Yujuan walked forward, she subconsciously grabbed Chen Mo.

The problem is that there are too many people; if you're not careful, the two of you will get separated.

Fortunately, the two arrived relatively early and waited in line for less than an hour before getting a table.

And we were really lucky; it was a booth in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, which not only offered good privacy but also provided a great view overlooking the street.

The hot pot dishes were served very quickly; we had only been sitting down for a short time when all the dishes were brought out.

As soon as the pot was heated, the two of them began to eat with great enthusiasm.

"Mmm, it tastes really good!"

As Lan Yujuan ate, she couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

She even took photos and short videos and sent them to Li Rui when she had a spare moment.

Chen Mo nodded, "It's delicious."

"If I had all the ingredients, I should be able to cook this flavor too."

Lan Yujuan ate while laughing at him for bragging.

Chen Mo focused intently on simmering the beef tripe in the hot pot, and said with a faint smile:

"Don't believe me? I'll show you my skills another day."

The two chatted and enjoyed their meal.

Suddenly, a couple who had just come out of the private room and were walking hand in hand past the diners next to them turned back.

"President Chen?" The man exclaimed in surprise after recognizing Chen Mo.

"I've heard so much about you!"

"I really didn't expect to run into President Chen here!"

The man suddenly put down his female companion, bent down, and warmly approached to shake hands.

Seeing this, Lan Yujuan put down her chopsticks.

She never expected that taking Chen Mo out for hot pot would lead to running into an acquaintance at the restaurant...
