Dongdong scrunched up his eyebrows and complained, "Who invented this chocolate? It's clearly not sugar and isn't sweet at all!" Seeing Dongdong's expression, Anan had a smile in her eyes and pinched Dongdong's nose, "Chew it slowly, don't swallow it hastily, see if it's sweet or not!"

  She just ate this chocolate which tastes bitter at first, but if chewed for a while, it will have a hint of sweetness and a fragrance afterwards.

  An An said that, and the three kids closed their eyes to feel it. Jiang Jiang suddenly opened her eyes, a pair of bright eyes full of surprise, "Sister! It's really sweet!", How strange is this?! At first, it was bitter when I put it in my mouth, but it was sweet at the end. He stared at An An curiously, "Sister, give me another one, I want to see why this chocolate is like that!" This candy is bitter first and then sweet, it's really too strange.

  An An directly took out another one from the bag, there were only a few chocolates in total, but the caramels were more than enough. She gave two caramels to each of the three little kids, and as for the remaining chocolate, she put it in Jiang Jiang's hand. The three children didn't even bother to eat the candy, their little heads all leaned together, excitedly exploring what this chocolate was.

  An'an burst out laughing and didn't care about them, instead turning her head to look at Lu Yan, "Yan-ge! The chocolate you brought has piqued everyone's curiosity, you'd better take responsibility."

  Lu Yan's hand on the steering wheel paused, he freed one hand and pressed tightly on An An's shoulder, his bright black eyes narrowed, with a fierce gaze hidden inside, staring at An An for three seconds before speaking in a steady tone, "An An! This chocolate is for you!"

  Although Lu Yan's appearance looked a bit fierce, An An somehow heard a tone of grievance in his voice. Was she being jealous? She took the chocolate she had prepared for him and gave it to Jiang Jiang and the others to share.

  An An felt a bit guilty and her throat was stuck, she argued, "Since you gave it to me, I'm the owner of this chocolate now, I can do whatever I want with it."

  It's really not decent to give away the gifts you received in front of the original owner! But thinking again, no way! There are three brothers behind her, can't let this sister sit in the front row enjoying delicious food and drinks while letting the brothers in the back only smell the flavor!

  An An thought of something, how could Lu Yan not think of it? He raised an eyebrow again, feeling helpless. The more he was with An An, the deeper this feeling became. Lu Yan let out a faint sigh and said "Whatever!", but in his heart, he was thinking: From now on! Prepare things, at least three sets, and best to separate An An's things from her little brother's. An An is a girl, her little brother is a boy, so the little brother won't be able to fight with him for An An's share.

  Lu Yan's tone of grievance made An An feel as if she had bullied him, her heart softened and she reached out to pull at Lu Yan's hem, suggesting, "Why don't you just stop buying me things from now on?" This was the best solution, otherwise with her temperament, she wouldn't be able to bear eating alone.

  An An's words of comfort made Lu Yan feel a lot more at ease, and he indulged her, "Don't worry! I'll prepare more next time." This time, he had miscalculated, preparing too little, or else this situation wouldn't have occurred. But from another perspective, Lu Yan, a single man for over twenty years, was gradually changing, learning to pursue the girl he loved, which was a good thing. At least it showed that when treating An An, he was using his whole heart.

  As soon as he said that, An felt sweet and happy all the way, it seems that Yan Ge's EQ is not low either! Fortunately, there was no straight man who really believed her words and didn't buy anything afterwards.

  To be honest, An didn't care about these things. What she liked was Lu Yan's intention, the intention of putting her in his heart.

  When they arrived at the station, after waiting for about five minutes, Mr. Li came out of the station with a suitcase and a crutch, swaying back and forth.

  They were all sharp-eyed, and at a glance, they saw the old man walking out of the crowd. Dongdong was like a small cannonball, shooting out suddenly, and stopped abruptly in front of Li Lao, his little face red and puffed up, shouting loudly, "Master! Dongdong has missed you!"

  This is true, the two master and apprentice have been keeping a phone call every week, each time on the phone not only teaching medical skills, but also more often, Li Lao is like an ordinary grandfather, teaching Dongdong various knowledge, it can be said that in Dongdong's heart, Li Lao is even more important than his own biological grandfather!

  Mr. Li looked at the little kid in front of him, and it had only been a few months since they last met. The child's height had suddenly surged, just like bamboo shoots on the ground, after a rain shower, quickly rising up. He put down his luggage, reached out to touch Dongdong's face, and sighed, "You've grown taller and more sensible."

  Dongdong nodded vigorously, excitedly saying "Wait till next year, I'll be as tall as you!" Anan stood not far away, looking at Old Li, seemingly after a period of not seeing each other, his previously brown beard had turned white, with shallow wrinkles on his face, making him look even more kind and gentle. Anan took two steps forward, crisp and clear, "Old Li!"

  Li Lao stroked his beard, looking at An'an. The little girl's bright eyes sparkled with spirit, and her high ponytail made her look even more youthful and energetic. He sighed, "She's all grown up now." The last time he saw this child, she was still weak and sickly, but now she seemed to have recovered a lot of her vitality.

  An An smiled and nodded.

  Lu Yan looked around and took the luggage from Old Li's hand, asking, "You came alone?" As soon as he mentioned this, Old Li felt a sense of pride. He stroked his white beard, which was slightly raised, and said, "That's right! I came alone from Beijing by train." Not only did no one send him off, but also no one accompanied him. Mentioning this made Old Li extremely proud in his heart. Just look at it! Is there any other old man of his age who can travel thousands of miles alone from Beijing to Taishan County?

  An An gave a thumbs up, sincerely praising, "You're really awesome!", Li Lao's face full of wrinkles smiled with pride.

  Lu Yan saw this and felt that Lao Li was just like his own father, getting older and older, still needing to be praised by others to feel happy. He stretched out his hand and opened the trunk of the car, using a bit of force with his left hand to easily put the suitcase inside. He turned around and called out, "Come on, get in the car, I'll drive fast, you can still make it to Gu Ge's wedding banquet."

  A group of people got on the car, and the co-pilot originally wanted to give it to Old Li, but Old Li shook his head and sat in the back, not only that, he also held Dongdong in his arms, looking at the two masters being affectionate, when he heard Lu Yan's words, he twitched his beard, surprised, "Little Gu got married?"

  Lu Yan and An An exchanged a glance, and An An turned back to explain, "Right! My dad's fate has arrived, he found a stepmother for us three siblings." As she said this, An An couldn't help but boast about her teacher, Sun Laoshi, her small face beaming with pride. "Li Lao, I'm telling you, my stepmom is really great!"

  It's rare for a stepdaughter like An'an to speak well of her stepmother, and Old Master Li became even more curious about Gu Weiqiang's new wife.
