The four of them quickly left the hospital.

In the car, Wen Wanqing sat in the front passenger seat and turned to ask, "Xiao Fan, did the doctor say Wanning needs to avoid any food recently?"

"Yes, she can't eat spicy food or anything too sweet." Xu Qingfan answered and poked the girl's forehead, "Did you hear that? No strawberry cake or milk tea for a while."

Lin Wanning looked pitifully at Xu Qingfan. Seeing his serious face, she turned to look at her mom instead.

Seeing this, Wen Wanqing just gave a knowing smile and said, "With Xiao Fan supervising you, mom can be at ease."

Lin Wanning's pitiful expression immediately turned into a bitter melon face, and she softly complained, "Doctor Auntie didn't say I can't drink milk tea."

Lin Qiaoshan instantly felt he was in the game again and chimed in, "Daughter, daddy will buy you milk tea, daddy will buy it!"

Buy it, quickly buy it for her!

Lin Wanning's little face instantly showed a surprised expression, but after glancing at Brother Qingfan and seeing his serious look, she suppressed her joy.

"Daddy, the doctor said no overly sweet foods; we should listen to the doctor."

Lin Qiaoshan: ???

While driving, Lin Qiaoshan was bewildered. Daughter, whose side are you on?

"Didn't Doctor Auntie say there's no prohibition on milk tea?" Lin Qiaoshan tried to rescue himself, asking.

"But Doctor Auntie did say avoiding too sweet foods, Dad, how come you seem so silly?" Lin Wanning blinked her naive eyes, looking at her old dad in the rear-view mirror.

Lin Qiaoshan:...

Sitting beside him, Wen Wanqing finally couldn't hold it and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Daddy's just silly; Wanning, let's not mind him."

Lin Qiaoshan glanced at the road conditions and tried looking at his daughter in the rear-view mirror only to see the scene.

Xu Qingfan placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, gently patting it in comfort, "Next time Wanning wants milk tea, I can make it at home without all the sugar from outside."

"Okay!" Lin Wanning obediently nodded, resting her head on Xu Qingfan's shoulder.

Lin Qiaoshan felt a bit jealous; his little cabbage would eventually grow into this cheeky boy!

What? She's already grown into it? Oh well.

Wen Wanqing glared playfully at her husband, covering her mouth to laugh quietly, then asked, "Xiao Fan, what do you want for lunch? It's too late to cook."

"Auntie, I'm fine with anything. Li City doesn't really have anything special to eat." Xu Qingfan replied with a smile.

Their relationship was good since childhood, so he didn't take his hand off Lin Wanning's shoulder.

"What about Wanning? Anything you'd like to eat?" Wen Wanqing asked again.

Lin Wanning was about to say she wanted Pizza Hut when she noticed Xu Qingfan's hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened, yet she still wanted Pizza Hut.

"Can... can we eat Pizza Hut?" She seemed to be answering her mom, but she was looking at Xu Qingfan instead.

Wen Wanqing didn't answer immediately, also looking at him, wanting to hear his opinion.

Actually, for fractures and sprains, just avoiding spicy and irritating foods is enough, as these may aggravate inflammation and hinder swelling reduction.

As for greasy, salty, and sugary foods, it's better to minimize intake to avoid affecting blood circulation and delaying recovery.

"Then let's go for Pizza Hut, but after this meal, we need to stick to a light diet for the rest of the week." Xu Qingfan rubbed Lin Wanning's head, ultimately not denying her wish.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Wanning nodded repeatedly, looking sweetly at her mom as if sharing a little red flower from kindergarten with her.

Wen Wanqing returned the smile, "Then we'll have Pizza Hut for lunch, but Wanning has to listen to Brother Qingfan; after eating, this week we'll have a bland diet."

"Got it!"

The car felt like it was a family of four, and everyone felt involved.

Except for the one driving...

...

Eating in the store wasn't convenient, so Xu Qingfan ordered takeout with his phone, and the car went back to Bijui Garden, with the takeout showing it hadn't been prepared yet.

He got out first and turned back to carry Lin Wanning in his arms down the car.

Xu Qingfan had strong arm strength, holding the girl's bottom with one hand without any sign of strain.

Wen Wanqing walked ahead to open the door for the two, and after Xu Qingfan entered the house, he slowly put Lin Wanning down on the sofa. As he got up, the auntie had brought over two pairs of slippers.

"The wheelchair from when Wanning was in middle school, I wonder if it's broken; I'll go check the storage room." Wen Wanqing set down the slippers and left; Xiao Fan felt like he was at his own home here, needing no further invitation.

"Honey, come help me find the middle school wheelchair." Lin Qiaoshan had just parked and was about to enter the house when Wen Wanqing grabbed him for the task.

...

It's past noon, and school has been out for a while.

Lin Wanning chatted with everyone in the group using Xu Qingfan's phone.

Xiao Ruawen asked where they were, so Lin Wanning took a photo of her home, replying: At home, having Pizza Hut for lunch.

[Pizza Hut, huh? I want to eat it too!] Xiao Ruawen sent after, adding a drooling dog emoji.

Seeing Lin Wanning engrossed in chatting, Xu Qingfan put on his shoes and went to the kitchen to prepare fruit for later.

The refrigerator had a variety of fruits. It was already December, yet there were durians and mangoes.

"Still Musang King."

Xu Qingfan took out the durian from the fridge; it wasn't too big, about four jins, but the fruit shape was very plump, clearly a good fruit.

He used a fruit knife to pry open a small triangle, poked to confirm it's ripe, and started to peel the durian by hand.
