Gu Lian was even more confused and looked in the direction of Mi Lan again.
Lu Zechen said in her ear: "I will tell you when I get back."
She glanced at him and wondered if he was a roundworm in her stomach.
Lu Zechen: "Well, I am the roundworm in your belly."
Gu Lian:???
The man curled his lips and put the beef to her mouth, "Ah——"
Gu Lian glared at him and glanced back.
His mother is standing behind.
Lu Zechen didn't care and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
"How does it taste?"
"……Well enough."
"If you like, take the cook back and cook it for you every day?"
Gu Lian snorted, "I thought you were going to say, if I like it, you can learn to do it for me."
Lu Zechen paused and thought, "It's not impossible."
He snapped his fingers and said, "I'll go back and buy the recipes."
Gu Lian: "..."
She didn't hold the baby, so she could eat by herself. She had chopsticks, knives and forks at hand, but she couldn't eat as fast as Lu Zechen fed her. Lu Zechen was basically the one feeding her.
The people at the table, except Lu Chiwen, were all women.
Jiang Xiu lost her husband in middle age, Lu Hanzhi never married, and Wenyuan and his wife were separated. No one would feel comfortable seeing this scene.
Gu Lian raised his head and met Mi Lan's eyes inadvertently.
The woman looked over with a faint look, and suddenly their eyes met, making people feel like they were being spied on.
But she didn't feel embarrassed, she still smiled at Gu Lian, but there were bottomless emotions in her eyes.
Gu Lian looked away and was fed another mouthful of fruit tart by Lu Zechen.
As she ate, she suddenly felt that the purpose of her trip back was somewhat inexplicable.
Jiang Xiu asked Lu Zechen to come back, why?
Is it just to give the father and son a place to quarrel?
In the midst of doubts, time passed slowly.
After the meal, Lu Zechen didn't eat much, but Gu Lian was so full that she felt a little bloated.
"Xiao Chen, come to the study with me." Jiang Xiu called Lu Zechen.
Lu Zechen glanced at Gu Lian, seeming a little worried.
"Go, I'll talk to her." Wenyuan said.
Lu Zechen understood his biological mother, and even if he didn't like Gu Lian, he would not embarrass Gu Lian.
He nodded, shook Gu Lian's hand, and stood up to help Jiang Xiu.
There were people at the table, but Wenyuan said to Gu Lian: "Take a few steps to eat?"
Gu Lian guessed that she had something to say to herself. Thinking of Wen Lan's attitude towards her, she actually didn't want to be alone with Wen Yuan, but compared to going for a walk with Wen Yuan, she was even less willing to face the remaining people at the table.
With this thought, she took off her napkin, stood up and followed Wenyuan away.
The Lu family's garden is very large, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants. The afternoon sun shines brightly and the fragrance of flowers overflows.
Gu Lian caught a glimpse of jasmine growing in the corner and took a second look.
Wenyuan noticed her gaze and said: "Xiao Chen always had respiratory problems when he was a child. The doctor asked him to use more medicine bags. The smell of Chinese medicine was too strong and he didn't want to use it. These flowers and plants are all used to make Chinese medicine bags."
Gu Lian remembered Lu Zechen's explanation.
He didn't lie to her.
"Some time ago, he suddenly refused to use those medicine bags. He insisted on replacing the jasmine with gardenia, so I specially asked someone to move two plants back." Wenyuan added.
Gu Lian's heart skipped a beat when he thought of the fragrance of gardenias filling his car.
"Miss Gu, speaking of which, we are not actually enemies. You were so protective of Xiaochen just now. I knew you really liked him."
Gu Lian paused slightly, and an unnatural blush appeared on his face.
