Chapter 614: Eating
Before the two even opened their own front door, the next door opened, and the little girl Zhang Han poked her head out. "Dr. Bai, Chief An, my dad has invited you over for dinner today, hurry on over. My dad made his specialty dish—it’s truly a rare occasion; he’s an excellent cook," she said with particular excitement, seeming livelier than usual.
