Although Xiang ChangKong's invitation was a little sudden, Xu Lian wasn't surprised. Xiang ChangKong had already met Xu Lian's mother, so it stands to reason that she should visit his parents.

Before, when Xu Lian had visited Xiang ChangKong's house, Xu Lian had realized that his family situation was a bit complicated. Therefore Xu Lian had never asked Xiang ChangKong to go to his house. But now that he had asked her to visit, it meant that he was ready now, right?

Xu Lian: I'm my own boss, I'm always free.

Looking at her reply, Xiang ChangKong couldn't help but chuckle.


Xiang ChangKong: Alright. Let's do it this Saturday at noon. Shall I pick you up, or do you want to come by yourself?

Xu Lian: I can go there myself.

Xiang ChangKong: Alright, then I'll stay at home and prepare lunch. What do you want to eat?

Xu Lian: Anything. More importantly, what can I bring? What does your mother like?

This made Xiang ChangKong's eyes dim for a while. With the way his mother was, giving her a present was the same as not giving her anything at all.

Xiang ChangKong: About my mother...I was going to find an opportunity to talk to you about her...

Xu Lian: I know. The last time I visited your house, I was told she was ill.

Xiang ChangKong: Well, you don't need to bring anything. I'll explain after you meet her.

Xu Lian: Ok.


But even though she said this, Xu Lian felt that she couldn't just go to his house empty-handed. She thought back to the skincare gift bag Xiang ChangKong had given to her mother. Xu Lian figured she could do the same and buy his mother some skincare products.

Actually, this was a pretty good idea. Health care products would've also been good, but Xu Lian didn't know whether Xiang ChangKong's mother could eat those things randomly. Skincare products would be much safer.

With her shop closing on Thursdays, Xu Lian took the opportunity and went to the biggest department store in the city to pick out a gift set. On the way home, Xu Lian received a phone call from the florist telling her that the dried flowers she had picked out were done and that she could come have a look whenever she was free.

After the call, Xu Lian simply turned her car and drove towards the flower shop.

When Xu Lian inspected several different flowers, she felt that they really did smell stronger than her own home-made dried flowers and were better trimmed.

"Alright, I'll take some back and do a couple of gypsum tablets and see what happens."

The florist replied with a smile: "Good, I'll pack these up for you."

"Alright."

As the florist packed the dried flowers, Xu Lian approached the little girl who had been sitting nearby. "Do you like to draw?"


The little girl nodded as she grasped a colored crayon. "Un. Oh, I'll give this drawing to you! I gave that big brother one last time."

Xu Lian accepted the paper, surprised. After a moment's hesitation, she replied: "Thank you. What did you draw?"

The little girl giggled and replied: "I drew myself bravely fighting with a dragon."

A brave hero fighting against a dragon, a classic scene. The hero would experience various adventures and in the end, would defeat the dragon and save the princess. The little girl's drawing shows the last scene with the princess being saved. It was just that the brave hero holding the sword had long hair, and the princess in the skirt looked like a boy.
