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

With a heavy heart, Lan Yujuan dialed Chen Mo's number in front of her parents.

Although she couldn't be 100% sure yet whether the person who helped her was Chen Mo.

But at this juncture, even if it wasn't Chen Mo, she could only assume it was Chen Mo.

The phone rang twice, but no one answered. Lan Yujuan felt a surge of joy and quickly said:

"Dad, Mom! I already told you, he's too busy with work, he definitely doesn't have time!"

As he spoke, he prepared to make a show of hanging up after two more rings, so that he wouldn't accidentally get the call connected.

Unexpectedly, the parents didn't fall for it at all.

Lan's mother looked at her with a suspicious expression:

"Are you really that busy, without even time to answer the phone?"

"How would the other party have time to handle your online video issue?"

Mr. Lan replied directly, "I don't believe you unless you put it on speakerphone!"

Lan Yujuan awkwardly turned on speakerphone, silently praying that the other party wouldn't answer the phone.

To my surprise, the call connected the very next second after I pressed the speakerphone button.

"Hello, is there something you need?" A deep, pleasant male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Faintly, one could hear other people whispering, as if they were having a meeting.

Mr. Lan and Mrs. Lan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Clearly, both of them recognized the male voice.

Lan Yujuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the invitation:

"Um, my parents would like to invite you over for a casual lunch on Sunday, but you probably... don't have time, right?"

Lan Yujuan thought that she had made her hints quite obvious.

But she clearly underestimated the wicked thoughts of the man on the other end of the phone.

Chen Mo didn't answer directly, but instead chuckled softly on the phone.

Lan Yujuan felt as if the laughter opposite her was under a spell, making her blush.

Fearing the other person might not understand, she "carefully" reminded them again:

"You're so busy with work, you probably don't have time on weekends, right?"

"Or else..." Before Lan Yujuan could finish speaking, Chen Mo's clear, smiling voice rang out from the other end.

"But I'm free on Sunday, what should I do?"

Lan Yujuan was completely dumbfounded. "Huh?"

Chen Mo took the opportunity to add:

"I said, I have time on Sunday, the whole day."

"Auntie's fish is delicious; I've been craving it ever since I had it last time!"

With just a few simple words, the other party completely disrupted Lan Yujuan's plans.

Lan Yujuan silently cursed the other person in her heart: Glutton!

They'd even abandon their camaraderie just to eat a fish!

She was unhappy, but Lan's father and mother were happy!

As soon as he hung up the phone, Mr. Lan gently nudged Mrs. Lan and secretly gave his wife a meaningful look.

Mother Lan immediately understood, quickly stood up, pulled her daughter to sit down, and asked softly:

"Daughter, if I heard correctly, the person who answered the phone just now was Chen Mo, right?"

Lan Yujuan scratched her brow, then nodded, feigning composure. "Yes, it's him."

"When Brother Qin Zhang left, didn't he tell me to take good care of me?"

"He just happened to know about it, and his company seems to be in the computer industry too, so he probably helped me out!"

Mother Lan immediately praised, "This child is good, kind-hearted!"

Lan Yujuan was afraid that her mother would keep pressing her for more details, so she quickly laughed it off and changed the subject.

"Haha, yes! He's not only kind-hearted, but he also loves to eat fish!"

"Mom, remember to buy fish this weekend!"

"I still have some work to finish, so I'll go back to my study first."

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to pick up the baby in a bit. The little guy's been a bit moody these past few days and wants me to pick him up, so don't try to take him from me!"

After saying that, Lan Yujuan quickly slipped away.

Before she knew it, it was evening. With half an hour left before kindergarten let out, Lan Yujuan rushed out the door.

As she picked vegetables, Lan's mother stared absently at the door that had just closed, muttering to herself:

"Ms. Lan, your daughter seems a little off today..."

As Mr. Lan flipped through the book, he said:

"What could be wrong?"

"I think it's great. When picking up your child from school, it's best to be early rather than late. Yesterday, I was the first one there!"

Lan's mother turned her head and glanced at the newly bought parenting book in Lan's father's hand, and smiled helplessly.

"Just take a look at this kind of book, don't believe it all."

"When raising children, experience is more important than theory."

Mr. Lan adjusted his glasses and said in a serious tone:

"Theory should be combined with practice; learning while raising animals can't hurt."

"Oh, by the way, I bought you a book on pediatric nutrition. Try to study it a little when you have some free time..."

When Lan Yujuan arrived at the kindergarten gate, several parents had already arrived.

She was just about to relax when she took out a preserved plum candy from her pocket and was about to open it when she heard a familiar male voice beside her.

"Is it tasty?"

Lan Yujuan froze, silently turned her head, and quickly glanced at Chen Mo. "Not bad."

"Do you want some?" she asked politely.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo took it without hesitation and put it directly into his mouth.

"Thanks."
