Chapter 627 Lotus Building CP Li Lianhua

The name "fox spirit" is indeed rare. Hua Xiaozhou had already vented her anger by pinching Li Lianhua. Besides, "fox spirit" isn't necessarily a derogatory term; only beautiful women are called fox spirits. She nodded reservedly, which was considered an admission of forgiveness.

Fang Duobing lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at Hua Xiaozhou any longer. He placed his hand on the fox spirit's back and kept telling Buwei, "The fox spirit is so cute and obedient."

"time to eat!"

Li Lianhua had just quickly stir-fried two dishes over high heat: scrambled eggs with tomatoes and water spinach with garlic. They were just coming out of the pan.

"handwashing!"

I didn't go to wash my hands because I tripped.

Fang Duobing followed Buwei and washed his hands as well.

The porridge bowl was placed on the table. Li Lianhua served a bowl to Hua Xiaozhou and a bowl to Buwei. Just as he was about to serve himself, he saw Fang Duobing holding out an empty bowl, his eyes full of expectation.

"If you're going to ask for a free meal, you should have the right attitude. Serve yourself; you're not a child."

Fang Duobing was criticized, but instead of getting angry, he grinned.

Li Lianhua has agreed to provide meals, that's great! I don't have to go back to eat dry biscuits anymore!

The rice porridge was cooked just right, one bowl for each person.

"Hmm... Li Lianhua, your cooking is pretty good!"

Li Lianhua didn't react, but instead immediately raised her head, feeling proud.

"Of course, my dad is the best cook."

Hua Xiaozhou glared at him.

"But—my mom's cooking is the most creative; it's not only delicious but also novel!"

Fang Duobing didn't see it, but he had some emotional intelligence and nodded in praise:

"Yes, yes, not because you're right."

There were six pies. Hua Xiaozhou and Buwei each ate one, while Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing each ate two.

"Where did you buy this pie?"

"There was a stall near the inn where an old lady made these. I could smell them from far away. They smelled so good! If it weren't for the heat and the fear of them spoiling, I would have bought them all."

Hua Xiaozhou had finished eating and was slowly drinking the remaining half bowl of porridge; she couldn't drink any more.

"It really is delicious. It's okay, don't regret it. I'll prepare the filling tomorrow and see if I can make it."

"That's great!" Hua Xiaozhou and Buwei said in unison.

"Can't you drink anymore?" Li Lianhua noticed that Hua Xiaozhou was drinking slower and slower, and knew that she was full, but was too embarrassed to say so because there were outsiders present.

Hua Xiaozhou immediately smiled as she watched Li Lianhua skillfully take the bowl over and pour the remaining porridge into her own bowl.

"I'm done eating. Go play now, I'll wake you up when it's time to go to sleep."

"Then I'll be going now." Hua Xiaozhou nodded to Fang Duobing again, stood up and left.

Li Lianhua took over everything from washing up to going to bed.

"Dad, I can't drink anymore." It wasn't because I had eaten too much food and a whole pie earlier; my stomach was already bulging.

Li Lianhua picked up the bowl again and poured the rest of the porridge into her own bowl.

Fortunately, my wife had almost finished her porridge, otherwise she really wouldn't have collapsed.

Fang Duobing was stunned; his family had never eaten like this before.

"Brother Fang! Hurry up and eat, I still want to hear how you ran away from home!"

Fang Duobing drank the porridge in a few gulps and then told Buwei about how he secretly left the mansion, evaded his family's pursuit, and became a criminal investigator.

Li Lianhua, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh.

Is this how you become a criminal investigator?

One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it.

Fang Duobing quickly gave Li Lianhua a wink, and while Buwei was chasing after the fox spirit, he lowered his voice and said:

"You absolutely must keep this a secret, not just because they've already decided I'm a detective, but also because of my pride—"
