523 On and Off the Stage (Slight Chill from the Wind)_2

Watching the woman who had grown up and whose temperament Deng Fu couldn't quite describe, Deng Fu hesitated to speak.

Originally, he wanted to tell her to come back and visit more often, but then he thought about her accomplishments today and held back.

"Take care of yourself, Uncle Fu,"

With a look of contentment in his eyes and a hearty laugh, Deng Fu replied, "I know, but birth, age, sickness, and death are the natural order of things. You can't escape them, and there's no point in trying. Seeing all of you grow up has already made me very happy."

"Better go now, or the food will get cold."

Lan Peizhi nodded, carrying the take-out liquor and dishes, and left early.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen excused himself from Tian Xue and others and followed her out.

Tian Xue watched the two leave the restaurant one after the other, a trace of sadness that she might not have noticed herself flickered in her eyes, and then she resumed chatting and drinking cheerfully with the others.
