It was a little late when I arrived at the restaurant. I don't know if it's a unique feeling between father and daughter. Cheng Shen also wore a formal dress today. He put on a formal suit and even a tie, even more than usual during meetings. Decent.

Seeing Cheng Jian, he stood up and went to help Cheng Jian pull the chair away. Xu Wei, who was robbed of the life by the old husband, watched Cheng Shen wait for Cheng Jian, who was a little uncomfortable, to sit down, pursed his lower lip, and said: "Sorry, we were twenty minutes late."

"It's okay, I just arrived." Cheng Shen went back and sat down again. Cheng Jian didn't want Xu Wei to carry the late pot. He had always been punctual, if not for her to haunt him before leaving. By the time some wiping off the gun, he wouldn't be late at all.

"It takes me too long to pick skirts... Women are always troublesome when going out." She touched her forehead and looked at other places with some embarrassment. Cheng Shen took a good look at her daughter again, and then glanced at the person next to her. Xu Wei, the expression on his face was also a little loose.

"What do you want to eat?" Lao Zhangren asked.

Xu Wei handed the menu to Cheng Jian. Cheng Jian, who was being served by the two alphas, was even more uncomfortable. She ordered her own share, not knowing whether the menu in her hand should be given to Xu Wei or Cheng Shen first.

"I want the same thing as you." Xu Wei didn't wait for her to start and answered. Cheng saw the embarrassment easily, and directly gave the menu to Cheng Shen.

This was the first time she went out to eat privately with him. She was reluctant at first, but after all, Cheng Shen had been back for so long. Even if she didn't talk about the relationship between father and daughter, she had been in the upper and lower ranks for two or three years.

She was actually relieved of the nurturing that was concealed and missing in the past.

I just don't know how to break this game.

Cheng Jian wouldn't take the initiative to speak to him. Cheng Shen ordered the food and handed the menu to the waiter. He sat upright with his hands on his lap, and said the first topic he had prepared in advance.

"It seems that you have been married for some time."

Cheng Jian just gave a dull hum, it was Xu Wei who took the old husband's words, "Yes, it's almost three years."

"Then... do you plan to say when to have a baby?"

After Cheng Shen asked this, Cheng Jian looked up at him, and Xu Wei was a little stunned for a while.

This... can't you say that they just had to spend it at home just now?

Cheng Jian looked up embarrassed, and pulled Xu Wei's sleeve directly. Xu Wei cleared his throat, and said in a steady voice, "I have been making plans recently."

There was obviously joy on Cheng Shen's face, as if all parents wished to hug their children while they were alive.

The dinner was either good or bad. After coming out of the restaurant, Cheng Jian followed Xu Wei, and Cheng Shen went back to the residence assigned by the research institute alone.

After walking a few steps, Cheng Jian looked back, watching the person who was over half a hundred years old in the night go farther and farther, and recalled seeing his hair almost half-white under the bright lights during the meal.

"For so many years, he has been here alone." Cheng Jian suddenly felt emotional. After saying this, Xu Wei looked at her next to her and said, "I can eat together often in the future."
