Without any consideration, since Leng Aotian said he wanted to rest, Gu Manman and the others would not let him leave.
Li Jinze immediately arranged for servants to tidy up two large rooms for Leng Aotian and Ye Lan, and prepared all clothes and daily necessities.
Gu Manman grabbed Ye Lan and pulled her aside to whisper.
"Sister Lan, you and Old Man Leng have not made any progress for more than ten years?"
Ye Lan couldn't help but look back at Leng Aotian, and then shook her head: "No, we are just superiors and subordinates."
"What superior and subordinate! He is no longer the head of state of country M, so you are not his subordinate either. In these years, you have been by his side, spending more than ten years with him, helping
Looking for his daughter and protecting him, why can't you be together after so many hardships between you?"
"Manman, you really can't force your feelings. He has his thoughts, and I have mine. Even if we can't be together in this life, I'm still happy. Because even if I can't be with him, at least I can
I have been by his side and accompanied him all my life. In this life, no one can drive me away from him."
"Sister Lan, what makes you willing to keep giving silently like this?"
"Manman, you have to understand that love is inherently tragic. Not all people can successfully meet the right person and have a perfect love. Those people are really lucky, like you. But I also
I am very lucky to have met a person I love and protect him for the rest of his life. This is my happiness."
"Sister Lan, I understand."
Gu Manman lowered her head and stopped trying to dissuade her. She finally understood that Ye Lan had such selfless love for Leng Aotian that she was willing to devote her whole life to it.
In the evening, when Li Zichen, Gu Zichen, and Chen Huanhao all came back, they discovered that the Li family hall was filled with laughter and laughter, and it was rare for the family to have a joyful atmosphere.
Several people stopped in unison and looked at each other.
Then I saw Gu Manman and Li Jinze sitting in front of the sofa. They smiled from time to time and hugged each other, as if they were back in love.
Besides, there was a man sitting next to the two of them who was gesticulating something. The man looked very familiar, so familiar that even Gu Zichen was surprised.
The corners of his mouth raised and he shouted: "Uncle Leng!"
When he heard someone calling him, Leng Aotian immediately stood up and walked towards Gu Zichen. He opened his arms and tried to pick up Gu Zichen like he did when he was a child. Only then did he realize that the child in front of him was no longer the little child he used to be.
.
They have long since grown up and become adults that he cannot hold.
Gu Zichen hugged him: "I haven't heard from you for more than ten years. Where have you been all these years?"
Leng Aotian scratched his head: "Walking around the world, punishing evil and promoting good!"
Gu Zichen paused and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Do you still have this ability?"
Li Zichen on the side naturally noticed that it was precisely because of Uncle Leng's arrival that his father and mother showed long-lost smiles.
He nodded respectfully: "Hello, Uncle Leng."
Leng Aotian nodded, as if he wanted to pat his head like he did when he was a child, but he noticed that the child in front of him had grown up, so he put his hand on his shoulder and patted him gently.
"Okay, Zichen, I heard that you have become the president of the Li Group? You have to work hard, it is your father's lifelong effort."
Li Zichen nodded firmly: "I understand, thank you Uncle Leng."
After a brief greeting, the group sat down at the dinner table.
Li Jinze took charge of the dishes himself, and Leng Aotian volunteered to help. The two old men started working in the kitchen.
Li Jinze skillfully poured the hot oil into the pot, poured the ingredients in his hand, including chili peppers, onions, garlic and ginger, and stir-fried for a while. The aroma soon came out.
Leng Aotian grabbed the hot pot: "Let me do it! I'll fry it!"
He didn't believe it. Even Li Jinze had learned how to cook, but he couldn't.
When I first took over, I didn't control the heat well. Soon, the fire started burning in bursts. The hot oil in the hot pot almost splashed everywhere and hit Leng Aotian's body, causing him to let out bursts of screams.
The group of people at the dinner table heard the screams in the kitchen and couldn't help but focus on the kitchen.
Is everything okay inside? Why does it look like you are cooking with your life?
Ye Lan recognized Leng Aotian's voice and stood up uneasily. His frown was full of worry, as if he wanted to rush into the kitchen to check the situation.
As soon as she stood up, Gu Manman held her hand and shook her head.
Ye Lan pursed her lips and sat down again.
Leng Aotian saw that the chili peppers in the pot were all black, and he was so frightened that he shouted: "Lao Li! The chili peppers are black! How could they be black! Is this pot poisonous?!"
"Old Leng, this is a pot, it's not poisonous. It's better for me to do it." Li Jinze took it back helplessly.
Leng Aotian was observing from the side, seemingly imitating Li Jinze's cooking skills.
After fussing for almost an hour, dinner was finally ready. There were almost ten dishes, which were placed on a large table. The food was filled with a unique fragrance, making people feel very appetizing just by looking at it.
The dishes are all delicious and delicious, except for the fried pork with green chili in the middle, which looks a bit weird. The chili seems to be soft, and there are layers of black floating on it. I don’t know what it is. Look.
It looks very weird.
Even the shredded meat inside has a strange smell and is still inky black in color.
The whole dish has an intentional feel to it.
Leng Aotian coughed dryly and said in a mysterious manner: "One of these dishes was made by me. But, I won't tell you which dish was made by me! See if you can taste it.
"
Everyone fell silent without saying a word.
But all eyes were on the black green pepper stir-fried pork. No need to taste it, they all knew which dish was made by Leng Aotian.
Everyone at the dinner table was seated, and the servant ordered a meal as usual, and then walked into Song Yunxiao's room.
Leng Aotian observed and asked: "Lao Li, Man Man, who is that meal being served to?"
Gu Manman was stunned for a moment, then slowly answered: "Here, Mom, ever since Bao'er was lost, Mom has been helpless. She doesn't see anyone, doesn't speak, and locks herself in the room all day long. Even food has to be delivered to her.
Go to the room."
He nodded slightly.
Li Jinze greeted everyone to eat: "Okay, let's eat, otherwise the food will get cold."
The group of people moved their chopsticks and started picking up vegetables to eat.
Leng Aotian was holding the bowl in his hand, looking expectantly at everyone's chopsticks falling and picking up again, falling and picking up again.
Several times, no one has ever picked up the green chili fried pork that he specially placed in the middle...
