Luofeng spent a day in Shanghai rather ordinarily. Aside from treating Bai Ningbing to a luxurious Japanese al costing tens of thousands, his activities were limited to shopping at the mall—a mundane life indeed.
However, that very day, Lin Ruoxi called to say she was coming from Hang City to Shanghai. Since he had promised to pick her up, Luofeng naturally drove to the train station.
"Luofeng, over here, over here!"
At the train station exit, Luofeng was sowhat surprised to see Lin Ruoxi’s unusually demure outfit; although not flashy, she usually liked wearing sexy clothes.
"AH!"
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi let out a coquettish hmph. The mont Luofeng approached, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Lin Ruoxi grew nervous and whispered, "You old goat, what do you think you’re doing?"
"Just a kiss," he said, and seeing her succulent red lips, Luofeng was about to lean in.
Lin Ruoxi was startled and imdiately covered her face with her hands. "Stop it! My parents are right behind us. Don’t ss around."
"Ah?"
Luofeng was speechless. He turned his head and indeed saw Lin Wangshu and his wife approaching.
"Little Luo, you two co along later. We’ll go outside and wait for you," Lin Ruoxi’s mother said, her face flushing slightly as she quickly walked away.
They knew that absence makes the heart grow fonder; it was best to let the young couple have so ti alone.
"See? They said they wanted to visit Shanghai for a few days. I couldn’t do anything about it," Lin Ruoxi said, sticking her tongue out and preemptively apologizing.
"No worries. If my father-in-law wants to visit Shanghai, of course, I welco him," Luofeng said with a smile.
"PFFT. What ’father-in-law’? You haven’t even confessed to , have you?"
"UH!"
Luofeng was taken aback.
That was indeed the case. Since they had t, there had been many joking confessions, but in the end, they always said it was just for fun. It was all just part of the usual playful testing between n and won.
"Look at you! You haven’t even confessed, yet you’re always taking advantage of and saying my dad is your father-in-law. Is that reasonable?"
"Hahaha, it does seem quite unreasonable indeed, so....."
Luofeng had actually never considered confessing to any girl. After all, he felt that not confessing was what a master of ti managent should do.
But the next mont, Luofeng looked at Lin Ruoxi’s beautiful face.
And his first desire was actually for him to confess to her?
Luofeng grinned slightly.
Isn’t it just a confession?
Then, Luofeng gathered his emotions for a mont and said affectionately, "Lin Ruoxi, I like you!"
Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi burst into laughter. "You clueless guy! Is that your idea of a confession? It doesn’t even stir a ripple. I don’t feel anything at all. That’s too perfunctory, isn’t it?"
Still held in Luofeng’s arms, she was laughing so hard she practically swooned.
Luofeng rolled his eyes. "Didn’t you say that just confessing would be enough?"
"You wish! And you think you can be my boyfriend just like that?"
After saying that, she wriggled free from Luofeng’s embrace.
"Then how do you want to confess?"
"Well, until I’ve thought it through, HMPH, don’t you dare take advantage of ."
Hearing this, Luofeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
On their way from the train station, Luofeng and Lin Ruoxi sat in the back of a taxi, fingers intertwined.
Lin Wangshu and his wife took another taxi, still careful not to disturb the young people.
"Uncle, Auntie, are we eating at this restaurant?"
Soon, they arrived at the restaurant entrance. Luofeng, in the presence of Lin Ruoxi’s parents, had to maintain the image of a well-behaved young man.
"Yes, we saw online that this Roast Duck Restaurant is pretty good. Let’s go in first," Lin Wangshu said. "Little Luo, we know your family is well-off, but this is our treat—our first al with you. If you insist on paying, we won’t entrust our daughter to you."
Seeing Lin Wangshu put it that way, what else could Luofeng do?
He could only nod, politely responding, "I’ll defer to Uncle and Auntie’s arrangents."
After arriving at the restaurant, Luofeng went to the bathroom. When he returned, he saw her parents beaming with joy, while Lin Ruoxi sat beside them, her face slightly flushed. He curiously asked, "Uncle, Auntie, what were you talking about?"
"Little Luo, we were discussing when to et your parents," Lin Ruoxi’s mother said as she walked up, gently pulling Luofeng by the wrist to sit down.
"Ah, my parents..."
Luofeng was montarily stunned. It seed the elderly couple had co with a purpose after all.
"That’s right, Little Luo. You’ve t us, but it seems Ruoxi hasn’t t your parents yet. Isn’t that a bit improper?" Lin Wangshu said with a smile.
After hearing this, Luofeng checked their desires. Indeed, they should et. But his parents were abroad now. How about the day after tomorrow? After all, by checking Lin Wangshu’s desires, Luofeng knew Lin Wangshu had to travel abroad with his association after today. So, it was evident Lin Wangshu wouldn’t have ti then. But he couldn’t just say they wouldn’t et, could he? And he couldn’t stall by suggesting next month or next week; that would be too obvious. If he hadn’t been able to see the other party’s desires, Luofeng wouldn’t have dared to suggest the day after tomorrow.
Lin Wangshu had accompanied his daughter to Shanghai for two main reasons: first, to take a flight with his association, and second, to et the parents of his daughter’s boyfriend.
"The day after tomorrow? How about this, Little Luo, could you move it up a day..." Lin Wangshu was just about to say.
But he was pinched at the waist.
"Could I what?" Luofeng asked.
"Nothing," Lin Ruoxi’s mother hurriedly said. "If there’s no ti, then let’s forget it. We can wait for another opportunity."
Lin Ruoxi’s mother imdiately glared at Lin Wangshu and whispered, "Since he dared to say ’the day after tomorrow,’ he’s not just trying to put us off. Why are we so fixated on eting his parents? It’s not like they’re getting married right away. If we make Little Luo feel we don’t trust him, it will break his heart."
Hearing this, Lin Wangshu could only abandon his plan to et Luofeng’s parents.
His wife was right. If Luofeng had intended to delay, he definitely wouldn’t have said ’the day after tomorrow.’ The crucial point was that his daughter didn’t even know about Lin Wangshu’s trip abroad with the association, so it was impossible for her to have tipped Luofeng off. Therefore, there could only be one possibility: Luofeng was genuinely willing to let them et his parents.
Soon, they finished eating. Lin Wangshu cheerfully said, "We won’t keep you young folks with us two old fogeys anymore. Ruoxi, take Little Luo out and have so fun."
"Okay, I understand," Lin Ruoxi nodded. She also preferred it to be just the two of them, not wanting her parents around when Luofeng was there.
Shortly afterward, arm in arm with Luofeng, they left the restaurant.
