Mu Chenguang opened the trunk first and helped him put his luggage in. Then he invited the two of them to get into the car. Today, he would be their driver.
After receiving Wen Zhehan, Mu Chenguang drove back.
Back in the city, Wen Zhehan realized that the car was not heading towards the Wen family home. He asked, âWhere are you taking me?â
âTo tell you the truth, Uncle Wen, I plan to invite you to my apartment. Wan Dou said that she will personally cook for you tonight,â Mu Chenguang said.
âOh, really? Iâm so honored!â
Wen Zhehan was surprised by the change in his daughterâs attitude towards him. Not only did she call him dad, but she would also be cooking for him.
He really wanted to know what had changed her mind so much.
He couldnât help but wonder if his daughter had suddenly changed her attitude towards him because she wanted something from him.
The car finally stopped in front of Mu Chenguangâs house. The two of them invited Wen Zhehan into the house. Mu Chenguang accompanied Wen Zhehan as they chatted and drank tea. Wan Dou was in charge of washing the vegetables and cooking.
At night, Wan Dou made a huge table of dishes and the few of them sat down. Wen Zhehan looked at the table full of dishes and his heart was filled with emotions. He was so touched that his eyes were wet.
Mu Chenguang invited him to eat. âCome on, Uncle Wen. You should eat more. Wan Douâs cooking is especially good!â
âYes, it is indeed very good. Just like her mother, her cooking is especially good.â
Wen Zhehan thought of his ex-wifeâs cooking and couldnât help but feel sentimental.
âThen you must eat more!â
Wan Dou helped dish more food to him. Wen Zhehan could clearly feel that the two children in front of him had something to say to him and was too embarrassed to say it.
Wen Zhehan was an understanding person. He said directly, âDid you invite me to dinner tonight to talk about your engagement? Donât worry, Iâve already announced it in front of everyone. I definitely wonât regret it. When I go back, Iâll call your father out too. Letâs have a good meal and talk about it.â
âNo, Uncle Wen, thatâs not what we wanted to talk about,â Mu Chenguang said and looked at Wan Dou.
Wan Dou looked up at her father.
âThen what do you want?â Wen Zhehan asked. âJust tell me! Weâre family.â
âActuallyâ¦â
Wan Dou lowered her gaze and raised her head again. She said with a complicated expression, âI want to talk about Auntie Li.â
âIs it because Iâm not at home?â Wen Zhehan asked.
Wan Dou shook her head. She realized that she could not say those things in front of Mu Chenguang. She was afraid that Wen Zhehan would be embarrassed. âForget it. Iâll tell you on the way back later. You guys eat first! The food is getting cold!â
The more Wan Dou kept him in suspense, the more curious Wen Zhehan became. But if she did not say it now, there was nothing he could do.
After the meal, Mu Chenguang and Wan Dou drove Wen Zhehan home.
On the way, the father and daughter were both silent.
After a while, Wen Zhehan asked, âDoudou, what exactly do you want to tell Daddy?â
Wan Dou turned to look at Wen Zhehan and finally said, âDaddy, do you know what kind of person Auntie Li is?â
âSheâs just a short-sighted woman. Donât be so calculative with her.â
Wen Zhehanâs focus was not on Li Meien, but on how she addressed him. âDoudou, youâre finally willing to call me dad. Do you know how happy dad is? I thought Iâd never hear you call me dad in my life. Iâm so happy.â
âIf you want to hear it, Iâll call you that in the future. But do you know that youâre in a dangerous situation right now? Thereâs a snake and a wolf hiding beside you. They want to take your life at any time.â
