After eating a few more chopstick-fulls, Luo Lang said, "I have a friend who knows an ophthalmologist, do you guys need me to make an introduction?" His tone of voice sounded very sincere and peaceful. Jian Yao lifted her head and gazed at Bo Jinyan, An Yan kept his head down, eating.

Bo Jinyan answered, "There's no need. I've already tried all the best in the U.S. There's no use. Thanks."

Luo Lang quietened, while Jian Yao felt her heart give a twinge. Suddenly, her hand under the table was squeezed again by Bo Jinyan, gripped tightly, very tightly. Jian Yao faintly trembled, her thumb lightly rubbed the back of his hand, and his hand finally relaxed.

Suddenly, Luo Lang quieted down for a bit, before speaking again, "Jinyan, Jian Yao, I have a presumptuous request." He smiled, "When you guys have your first child, may I be the child's godfather?"

He gazed at them, that pair of eyes full of absolute sincerity and expectation. Hearing his words, An Yan lifted his head suddenly, and his black eyes stared at Bo Jinyan.

Bo Jinyan was silent for a little, then answered, "Sorry, I'm afraid I cannot accept your friendly sentiments. Because our child can only have one godfather."

The corners of An Yan's mouth momentarily rose.

And then he heard Bo Jinyan lightly say, "It's Fu Ziyu."

Right after he said those words, everyone was silent.

At that moment Fang Qing walked in; in the face of a formidable enemy, he didn't want to bother his friends with his personal troubles, so actually, he was kind of absent-minded when he asked, "What are you guys chatting about?"

Jian Yao laughingly replied, "We're chatting about future children."

At that point, Luo Lang also laughed, and asked, "And so when do you guys plan on having one?" This godfather topic was put aside for now.

Jian Yao didn't say anything.

Bo Jinyan very assuredly replied, "Next year." Jian Yao took a look at him.

Because his action of sitting down was a little large, Fang Qing accidentally knocked down the backpack that was hanging from the back of the chair, and the stack of files inside the bag also fell out. He immediately bent down to pick them up, Luo Lang who was beside him also reached out his hand to help.

Luo Lang looked at the files in his hand and smiled, "An arrest warrant? What, does this person have something to do with the Butterfly Killer case?"

Fang Qing immediately took the files back from Luo Lang's hands to put them away, saying, "Lao Luo, don't ask about this anymore."

Luo Lang smiled carelessly, "I'm just casually asking."

Everyone continued to eat. It was only because each person had something on their minds, the atmosphere for the meal of hotpot was a little quiet. After they finished eating, Luo Lang didn't wait for anyone to react before he got the bill, and then hailed a cab. Before getting into the car, he smiled towards them as he said, "All the best, when you are investigating, remember to stay safe. Next time we're all back in Beijing, let's get together again!"
