It is not easy to find a barbecue restaurant open during the day, so Chu Rong was the only one who came here to eat barbecue skewers at noon.
She chose an indoor private room, as it would be a bit awkward to have an open-air barbecue outside at this time.
Fu Nian and Fu Yu had never eaten barbecue outside, so Chu Rong brought the two little kids here to learn more. All kinds of delicious skewers were served, and to avoid waste, only three skewers of each were ordered. They tried which one was delicious first, and then grilled the one they liked.
Hey, after tasting them, they all tasted delicious. Chu Rong, Fu Nian and Fu Yu were impressed on the spot and ordered ten more skewers of each.
Grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, clams and oysters, lamb and beef skewers… the table was piled high. Chu Rong was full of confidence, thinking that her, Fu Nian’s and Fu Yu’s stomachs were more than enough for all of this. The three of them buried their heads in the food, and from the beginning they were enjoying it so much until their bellies became round, and their eyes gradually became dull.
Fu Yu burped loudly, “Mom, I’m full.”
In his hand he held a half-eaten piece of golden roasted pork belly, his lips glistening with oil. He said he was full, but in fact he was so bloated that he couldn’t eat any more.
Fu Nian finished eating the chicken wing in his hand and put down the skewer, “I’m full too.”
He modestly held back his burp and maintained his image.
Frankly speaking, Chu Rong was full too. It was just that they ordered too much, and the three of them hadn’t even finished half of it.
”What should we do with so much left?” Chu Rong took Fu Yu’s pork belly and put it among the pile of uneaten skewers.
”Mom, let’s pack some food to take back home. Dad will definitely want to eat it too.”
This is indeed a good suggestion, but whether Fu Ruhui will like it is a question.
Chu Rong looked at the time. They had been out for two or three hours. It was already past lunch time. Fu Ruhui didn’t have lunch at home, so why not send him to the company?
Whether he likes it or not, it’s always good to ask first. Chu Rong took out her cell phone and sent a message to Fu Ruhui, asking him if he had eaten lunch.
Fu Ruhui: I ate it.
Chu Rong: Oh. That’s fine.
Fu Ruhui: What do you mean?
Chu Rong: I packed some food from outside. I said I would send it to you if you didn’t eat it.
Fu Ruhui: I haven’t eaten yet. Come over here. Do you know the address? Do you want me to pick you up?
Chu Rong: Didn’t you eat?
Fu Ruhui: I haven’t eaten yet. I was planning to ask Kong Sa to order food half an hour later. I was lying to you because I was afraid you would worry.
When Chu Rong saw this line, she pursed her lips. What does “I’m afraid you’ll worry” mean? It’s just a meal, is it necessary? She doesn’t worry at all, okay? Although she thought so, Chu Rong still blushed shamefully.
”Then send me the address. Nian Nian, Xiaoyu and I will be there now.” Chu Rong waited for Fu Ruhui to send a location. It was quite far from the barbecue restaurant. Fortunately, it was not rush hour and the traffic should not be too congested. Otherwise, by the time they delivered the food, Fu Ruhui would probably faint from hunger.
”Be careful on the road.” Fu Ruhui sent another message.
Chu Rong called the waiter to help her pack the food. “Got it. Your delivery man is on the way and will be here soon.”
It was Li Zhizhao’s car that arrived. Chu Rong sent a message to Li Zhizhao, asking him to come and pick her up. Unexpectedly, Li Zhizhao called her back and sighed, saying that there was a traffic jam on Dengqin Bridge and he couldn’t get through for a while because of the bad weather and a traffic accident on the bridge.
Bad weather?
Chu Rong stayed in the soundproof box and heard nothing. After coming out, Chu Rong realized that it had started raining heavily without her noticing.
It was sunny in the morning, but when they were having a barbecue, it suddenly started to rain heavily. No wonder Fu Ruhui specifically told her to be careful on the road, as traffic accidents were indeed prone to occur in this weather.
I don’t know how long Li Zhizhao will be delayed on the road. She is already quite far from Fu Ruhui’s company. If she waits for Li Zhizhao for so long, Fu Ruhui can have the barbecue as dinner once it is delivered to him.
This section of road is quite good and there are quite a lot of taxis. Chu Rong waved to call an empty taxi, told the driver the address, and asked how long it would take to arrive.
The driver was a kind-looking uncle with a cheerful personality. When he heard Chu Rong’s question, he waved his fat hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take you there in forty minutes.”
Forty minutes, that’s not bad.
Chu Rong estimated that the time was about the same as the time Fu Ruhui originally planned to eat, so she felt relieved: “Thank you, Master. It’s hard to drive in the rain, please be careful.”
The master laughed and said, “It’s okay. We’re familiar with the road and can get there with our eyes closed. Hey, are you taking the kids to Yuan Tang to deliver food to your lover?” The barbecue that Chu Rong packed had a strong smell and could be identified at once.
It was rare to hear the word “lover” used to describe her relationship with Fu Ruhui, so Chu Rong hesitated and said, “Yes.”
”Oh, your husband is really promising. Yuan Tang is a good place, a big factory, other companies can’t compare to it.” The master praised sincerely, and said with envy, “My son will graduate tomorrow and will go to Yuan Tang for an interview. I don’t know if he will be selected.”
Chu Rong felt a sense of pride when his master praised him like that. Fu Ruhui was really amazing. He had achieved such great results at such a young age.
”Don’t worry, your son will definitely be more promising.”
Everyone likes to hear nice words. The master smiled and said, “That’s really a good omen for you! You look young, but you already have two children. These two children are so handsome and look so much like you. You and your two children are just like two peas in a pod. You can tell at a glance!”
Chu Rong couldn’t count how many times she had heard people say that Fu Nian and Fu Yu looked like her. She no longer felt embarrassed. She said calmly, “Really? Everyone says that. In fact, the eldest brother looks more like his father.”
”Indeed, the eldest doesn’t look as pretty as the second.” The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said with certainty, “The father must be handsome too. He gave birth to two such beautiful children. Hey, he has really good genes.”
Chu Rong was chatting with the driver, and suddenly they talked about the accident on Dengqin Bridge that Li Zhizhao mentioned. The driver obviously knew about it, and he started talking, “Hey, you mean that? That’s terrible. I don’t know what kind of driving skills the driver has. It’s not easy to drive in the rain, but it shouldn’t be such a big accident. Dengqin Bridge isn’t that congested, how could it have crashed?”
”Bumped out?” Chu Rong’s heart tightened. “You mean bumped out from the bridge?”
”Yes!” the master said with regret, “Dengqin Bridge hasn’t been repaired for several years. After this collision, I think they need to pay more attention to it.”
”Is he alright?”
”How could she be fine?” The master shook his head. “There seemed to be a young girl in the car, in her early twenties. When she was fished out, both her arms were gone. I guess she’s still in the river. We’ll have to fish her out again.”
After listening, Chu Rong did not respond for a long time. The master’s few words gave people goose bumps.
She couldn’t continue the conversation, otherwise she might not be able to sleep at night.
She, Fu Nian and Fu Yu were sitting in the back seat. Looking at the dense rain outside the car window, Chu Rong shuddered suddenly and felt a little cold.
”Niannian, Xiaoyu, are you cold?” Chu Rong touched Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s arms, which were a little cold.
Fu Nian shook his head, “It’s not cold. Are you cold?”
”I’m fine.” Chu Rong pinched Fu Nian’s face and sighed, “Niannian is really good.”
Fu Nian was pinched by her and said vaguely: “Not as good as you.”
Chu Rong loosened his grip, and Fu Nian’s face was freed. He rubbed his face and said clearly:
”You had better.”
”Oh my.” Chu Rong’s heart was filled with joy. “Really?”
“Really!” Fu Yu answered quickly, “Mom is the best!”
Chu Rong asked maliciously, “How about comparing with dad?” I’m sorry, Mr. Fu, no mother can resist the temptation in the face of such a difficult life problem.
”Of course mom is the best! The best means that all people, including puppies and little sharks, are not as good as mom!” Fu Yu pointed with his fingers and racked his brains to describe it to Chu Rong, “Compared with hot pot, mom is the best. Compared with small cakes, mom is also the best…”
The little bubbles of joy turned into warm water. Chu Rong felt a little embarrassed by what he said, but still couldn’t help wanting to hear Fu Yu continue.
Fu Yu counted on his fingers one by one to compare them with her. When Chu Rong saw that she was far ahead of other preferences in Fu Yu’s world, she felt both satisfied and terrified.
It is undoubtedly a blessing to receive the best love from someone, but Chu Rong would think, Xiaoyu likes her so much, if one day she returns to her original world, where will she put all this love?
I don’t know when it started, but Chu Rong found that she could no longer live without Fu Nian and Fu Yu.
She couldn’t help but laugh. She was only in her early twenties, so how could she be so overwhelmed with maternal love?
It seems that not all children make her feel sympathy so easily. She has come into contact with many children since she traveled through time, including He Huan’s son, Shu Yuan’s daughter, and the children on the show. Chu Rong is not the kind of person who likes children by nature, and a young girl like her who has just graduated rarely has the patience to deal with children of only a few years old.
But Fu Nian and Fu Yu are different in her eyes. Chu Rong initially thought that she was only being nice to the two children in order to save her life and out of guilt towards Fu Nian and Fu Yu. After getting along with them, Chu Rong felt that she might have too strong a sense of role-playing. After she regarded herself as Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s mother, she subconsciously treated them as her own children. When she saw them through this filter, they were cute and the best in every way.
Chu Rong held Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s little heads in her arms and said, “You two are the best. In mom’s eyes, no one can compare to Nian Nian and Xiao Yu!”
”Dad can’t compare to us?” Fu Nian asked calmly.
Chu Rong was stunned. They shouldn’t be compared together, right? But Fu Nian and Fu Yu could compare her with Fu Ruhui, so she should be fair and just.
“…not as good as him.” I’m sorry, Boss Fu, adults shouldn’t argue with children.
Fu Nian was satisfied, “Yeah. In my heart, Daddy is no match for you.”
