nPardon her ignorance, but this was the first time she had come across a person who had never had KFC in his life.

n“We have burgers, wings, fries, egg tarts… and colas here; all of which are Western-style fast-food meals.”

nAs the cashier rattled these off with difficulty, her back was already dense in a cold sweat.

n“What is a burger?” asked Baby Chu curiously.

n“…A burger is a burger.”

n“What’s an egg tart? Is it delicious?”

nThe boy imagined the dish to be a ‘tower’ made up of countless eggs.

nThis was of course his first time dining in such a ‘luxurious’ restaurant; the things on the menu looked delicious, but he had never seen any of them.

nThe cashier answered awkwardly once again, “…It’s quite tasty.”

n“Wow wow!” The child pulled Gu Jinglian’s sleeve excitedly. “Uncle, uncle, this beautiful sister said the egg tart is delicious! Can I have an egg tart?”

nThe corners of the man’s lips twitched as he took the menu, pointed to a children’s set meal, and said, “Two of this.”

n“A-A-Altogether, seventy-eight yuan. Paying by cash or PayPal?”

nThe moment she asked that, a man in black suddenly strode in, pulled out a pile of notes from his wallet, and fished one out for her.

nThe cashier almost wanted to kneel on the ground to collect the money. After she gave the change warily, Gu Jinglian walked to a cabin seat with the boy jumping alongside. The small, white puppy l followed suit with its tongue hanging out.

nNot long after, the waiter presented the set meal to them. The freshly made burger was fluffy and tempting, and along with everything else, such as the freshly squeezed fries and the sparkling cola, it was a complete novelty to the boy!

nHe held the burger in his hand as if it was an offering and carefully removed the wrapper of the burger. When the aroma wafted into his nostrils, he could hardly care about being reserved and took a bite without hesitation.

n“Wow!”

nIt’s so tasty!

nBaby Chu felt that the whole world was glowing as the amazing deliciousness sent him to cloud nine!

nThis was probably the best thing he had ever eaten!

n“Two sandwiches with meat; why is it called ‘burger’? How strange is that?”

nAs he ate, his eyes inspected the plate’s content greedily. He grabbed a French fry and brought it into his mouth, eating the piece with gusto.

nGu Jinglian rested his cheek lazily in his palm, gazing carelessly outside the window at the nightscape, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop.

nAt one side, one of his men suddenly noticed something amazing.

n“Master Gu, this child has very similar eyes to yours.”

nThe man returned to his senses and glanced at the boy, only to see him gulping down the burger, with his mouth stuffed to a bulge. Under the bright light, however, the delicate, small face sprang into his sight.

nThe man did not have a good look at the kid earlier inside the car, for the light was dim.

nWith his man mentioning it, he took the time to examine the kid’s face carefully. Indeed, the boy’s eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his.

n“His nose and mouth are also similar, and he looks very much like you when you were a child!”

nThat henchman had served him since he was a child, so the former had a vivid recollection of Gu Jinglian’s appearance when he was young.

nNoticing that his boss was unmoved, the henchman blurted out with emotions, “When you were small, you were really cute! Your cheeks were round and your big eyes were clear and sparkling…”

n“Your opinion isn’t needed.” Gu Jinglian interrupted him.

nThe man immediately broke into a cold sweat and promptly shut his mouth after saying, “Understood.”
