The whole family overheard her innermost thoughts and went crazy.

Chapter 208 Adopting a Girl

The entire bracelet was stuck tightly to the curb, making it very difficult to spot, which is why no one picked it up.

She had to search very carefully to find it.

"Found it! Found it!" Liu Siqiao jumped up on the spot, her heart pounding with the feeling of having found it again, but also feeling a lingering fear.

Hearing her excited voice, Mu Nan smiled slightly: "It's good that you found her. Hurry home. It's not safe for a little one like you to be out alone so late at night."

"Okay, I got it! I'll go home now." Liu Siqiao's steps suddenly became lighter, and even her mood improved.

She chattered away, telling Mu Nan about the things that had happened that day, and Mu Nan listened attentively.

At the same time, Shen Wantang arrived at the hot pot restaurant, and soon after, Lu Zhiyan arrived with Song Zechen.

"Wantang." Lu Zhiyan entered first and greeted her politely.

“Miss Shen.” Song Zechen nodded as well, staying close to Lu Zhiyan.

Oh my, she still looks so sweet and clingy after all this time!

No wonder Lu Zhiyan really likes it.

This little gadget is really quite adorable. (￣? ￣??)

"Sit down, please sit down!" Shen Wantang nodded. "I didn't know what kind of dishes you like, so I just ordered a little bit. Mr. Song, please order whatever you like. I'm not picky."

When Song Zechen heard his name called, he looked up at Lu Zhiyan. After Lu Zhiyan nodded slightly, he picked up the menu: "Okay, Miss Shen, then I won't be polite."

"Please don't be shy, it's a rare treat for you to have a meal." Shen Wantang nodded with a smile.

"The main reason I invited you out for dinner today is... I won't beat around the bush, I heard from my mom that you two are considering adopting a child." Shen Wantang cut straight to the point, not bothering with any pleasantries.

Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow. He knew something was wrong, but why was she asking?

“Yes, we both have this idea, but we haven’t looked into orphanages yet.” Lu Zhiyan didn’t hide anything, after all, she would definitely want to show the adopted child the world.

"So, do you want to adopt a boy or a girl?" Shen Wantang asked, looking at him. These days, more people seem to prefer girls, right?

Lu Zhiyan looked at Song Zechen: "Boy or girl doesn't matter to me, it's up to Achen."

"I'd prefer a girl, someone soft and cute! She could grow up to be a powerful female CEO!" Song Zechen said.

"As expected, I knew I hadn't made a mistake in coming to you!" Shen Wantang smiled slightly and took out her phone to show Shen Zimo's photo.

After Tang Yu's care during this period, Zi Mo has grown up to be fair and plump, with two big, watery eyes that make her look very cute!

She handed her phone to Lu Zhiyan to show him the photo and said, "What do you think of this girl? She's very cute and four years old."

“Adopting from an orphanage is bound to involve some unforeseen circumstances. If the child grows up and the biological parents come looking for them, it will be very difficult to handle. This child won't be like that; she doesn't have a father or mother.”

“But there is an older brother. My friend is temporarily taking care of both of them. My friend wants to adopt the boy, but the girl hasn’t found her family yet. I don’t know if you are willing.”

"I can guarantee that, because I was the one who picked up those two children."

Lu Zhiyan was somewhat surprised: "You're going to pick it up?"

“Yes, back then, Shen Wantang and I…” She told them the whole story of how she met the two children and how she adopted them.

Song Zechen liked the photos very much and became somewhat tempted.

"That's the whole process. Her name is Shen Zimo now, which I chose. If you decide you want to adopt her, you can change her name yourself," Shen Wantang said.

If Lu Zhiyan really adopts Shen Zimo, then she won't have to worry about her future. Growing up in such a happy family, Zimo will definitely be very happy.

"Zhiyan, she's so cute. I actually like her a lot, but I don't know if Auntie..." Song Zechen was very tempted, mainly because Shen Wantang was vouching for him, so there must be no problem.

"Okay, send me the photo, and I'll ask my mom when I get home before making a decision." Lu Zhiyan nodded. This child looked very lucky and well-behaved.

He was quite satisfied.

So the three of them started eating, and Shen Wantang kept gossiping about them.

She was genuinely curious: would they just stay together like this? Or would they get married? Or would they get a marriage certificate?

It seems that same-sex couples cannot obtain marriage certificates in China right now!

They went abroad.

"Yes, we also plan to go abroad to get our marriage certificate and come back." Song Zechen smiled, a very happy smile.

So what if they're both boys? Can't boys be happy together?

It was already 8:30 when we finished eating.

"We'll take you back." Lu Zhiyan stood up, still as gentlemanly as ever. No wonder Song Zechen liked him so much.

Shen Wantang shook her head slightly: "I've already driven. It's in the underground parking lot. You don't need to see me off. You can go back now!"

"Okay, then we won't see you off since you're driving. Be careful on your way home. I'll ask my mom when I get back and give you an answer on my phone." Lu Zhiyan nodded, not insisting.

After seeing them off, Shen Wantang called Ji Yushi, wondering if he had finished his dinner party.

If it's just finished, she can drive to pick him up.

"Hey honey, are you done on your end?"

"Not yet, about 10 more minutes." Ji Yushi raised his hand and checked the time.

"Then give me your location and I'll come find you! I just finished here." Shen Wantang thought to herself, isn't this a perfect coincidence? By the time she got there, Ji Yushi had also just finished.

"Okay, be careful on the road." Ji Yushi hung up the phone and casually sent her his location.

Shen Wantang checked the location and found that it was not far away, about an 8-minute drive, or about 15 minutes if there was traffic.

So she drove there. Ji Yushi was eating at a big hotel with a dedicated parking area, so she wasn't worried about not having a place to park.

Ten minutes later, Shen Wantang parked her car.

Just as I was about to call Ji Yu to ask which private room he was in, I saw him come out of the elevator.

Shen Wantang put away her phone and walked towards him.

"Madam Ji," Xiang Heng greeted her respectfully.

The CEOs behind her looked at Shen Wantang with some surprise. They were all only slightly tipsy and had not drunk too much.

So they hadn't misheard; the assistant actually called this woman "Madam"!

It's still Mrs. Ji!

Shen Wantang nodded slightly: "I'll take the people with me now and make sure you all get home safely."

“Yes, Madam.” Xiang Heng nodded.
