Lu Nanchen's house was devoid of any food or ingredients, necessitating Yu Ting to go grocery shopping if she was planning to cook.
But cooking at home could ensure a healthier and safer meal.
Yu Ting sat at the table, mulling over whether to eat out or buy groceries and cook at home.
'No frills, just facts': Wait for me, I'll be home soon.
After receiving a reply from Lu Nanchen on her phone, Yu Ting responded with an 'okay'. She then put her phone aside, shifted her focus onto Xiaobao sitting next to her. Unable to make up her mind, Yu Ting decided to let Xiaobao decide.
"Xiaobao, do you want to eat out, or do you prefer eating at home?"
"I want to eat at home." Xiaobao answered honestly, swinging his legs back and forth. His ever-present smile was convincing enough.
"Alright, let's go grocery shopping and have dinner at home tonight." Yu Ting proposed, at once moving closer to Xiaobao.
Leaving a child alone at home is not safe.
