"Miss, just met with your boyfriend?" the taxi driver teased with a smile.

"Ah... oh, yes." Song Xiaojia nodded.

"Hehe..." The driver chuckled and did not say much. Especially when he heard Song Xiaojia was heading to the Provincial Committee Compound and had seen her come out of a five-star hotel, he did not dare have any inappropriate thoughts.

Back at home.

Song Xiaojia found that the living room light was still on; her parents had not yet gone to bed.

Both were sitting upright on the living room couch, and as soon as they saw Song Xiaojia enter, they both fixed their gaze on her. Song Jianguo's face was dark. Beside him, Mrs. Song asked with a smile, "Xiao Jia, you're back?"

"Yes." Song Xiaojia nodded and said, "Mom and Dad, Happy New Year."

"Why so late? Where have you been?" Song Jianguo asked.

"Didn't you ask me to go on a blind date with Wu Yue?" Song Xiaojia pouted.

"Hmph." Song Jianguo slapped the table and said, "Wu Yue came back at eleven, and look at the time now? It's almost two in the morning."

"I..." Song Xiaojia was about to speak.

Mrs. Song hurriedly interjected, "Wu Yue told us already, do you have a boyfriend?"

"I... yes." Song Xiaojia nodded, simply admitting it.

Song Jianguo and his wife exchanged glances. Both of their faces showed concern. Their daughter having a boyfriend was a matter of great importance. Song Jianguo was just over fifty years old, already a deputy ministerial-level official, flourishing in his career. Moreover, his future was guaranteeing to be promising, if someone could support from behind, his career would certainly be limitless. Wu Yue's grandfather worked in the central government, holding real power.

The primary reason Song Jianguo wanted his daughter to have a blind date with Wu Yue was that the two children had known each other since childhood and knew each other's backgrounds; the second reason, naturally, was a bit of a calculation. Wu Yue's grandfather really liked Song Xiaojia, who had teased in childhood about wanting to arrange a marriage agreement. If the two families were united through marriage, it would be a great benefit for Song Jianguo.

"Nonsense." Song Jianguo scolded: "How can you just casually find a boyfriend?"

"How am I finding him casually?" Song Xiaojia became anxious: "Lin Chuan is a good man. Last October, during the bank robbery in Jiangbei City, if it hadn't been for Lin Chuan stepping in, who knows how many people would have died? Later, at the avant-garde chemical plant explosion, if it weren't for Lin Chuan risking his life to shut down the No. 3 furnace gates, the whole Jiangbei City might have been destroyed... He is a hero!"

Song Jianguo frowned, saying nothing.

"Xiao Jia, don't upset your dad." Mrs. Song quickly said.

"Fine." Song Xiaojia nodded and said, "I'm not upset with him; I'm just trying to reason with him."

"Old Song, come on." Mrs. Song glared at Song Jianguo and said, "It's a good thing that our daughter has a boyfriend. It shows that she has grown up. Besides, today's New Year's Day, why are you arguing with her? That's bad luck."

"Forget it." Song Jianguo waved his hand and said, "I'm going to sleep."

Mrs. Song looked helpless.

Mrs. Song looked at her daughter and asked, "Xiao Jia, tell me about this Lin Chuan. What kind of person is he?"

"Sure." As soon as Song Xiaojia mentioned Lin Chuan, she seemed to have endless things to say, incessantly. Mrs. Song wasn't actually interested in what kind of person Lin Chuan was; she just wanted to test her daughter's reaction. If a woman truly falls in love with a man, then she will always have endless things to say about him. From her daughter's words and expressions, she was clearly in love with this man named Lin Chuan.

Spitting enthusiastically with a joyful and happy expression, she was almost a spitting image of herself when she was younger.

Mrs. Song felt somewhat helpless. Although she hadn't met Lin Chuan, undoubtedly no one matched her family's status better than Wu Yue. Both she and Song Jianguo undoubtedly hoped their daughter would marry Wu Yue and not this man named Lin Chuan.

"Alright, go to sleep." Mrs. Song was somewhat displeased.

After speaking, she stood up and returned to the bedroom, where Song Jianguo had already changed into his pajamas and laid down.

"Old Song, it seems like the child really likes that Lin Chuan." Mrs. Song looked helpless.

"I won't agree to this." As soon as Song Jianguo heard, he immediately got up and said, "I'm going to talk to her, tell her to break it off quickly."

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Song hurriedly grabbed Song Jianguo, hastily saying: "Don't you know our child's temperament? If you're stubborn with her, she'll be even more stubborn."

"What should we do then?" Song Jianguo became anxious, saying angrily: "In any case, I don't agree. I've set my sights on Wu Yue."

"Alright, let's talk about it after the New Year." Mrs. Song glanced at him and said: "Besides, didn't she promise you that she wouldn't go to Jiangbei City to become a policewoman? Also, let me handle this matter. Women are more reliable than men in dealing with these kinds of things."

"Alright." Song Jianguo thought for a moment and felt that his wife made sense.

Mrs. Song lay down and thought for a long time. As a woman, she deeply understood the feelings when one falls in love with another. Therefore, making Song Xiaojia leave Lin Chuan wouldn't be an easy task. Moreover, the persuasion couldn't start from Song Xiaojia but had to be worked on Lin Chuan instead. However, she still didn't know what kind of person Lin Chuan was. If Lin Chuan was stubborn or obsessive, it would be difficult to convince him. Then, she would have no choice but to work on Lin Chuan's family...

.........

The next morning, Song Xiaojia hurried to the hotel.

It was not even eight o'clock.

Lin Chuan was still sleeping, having tossed and turned all night without sleep. His mind was filled with Tang Yumeng and Song Xiaojia. Lin Chuan hadn't anticipated such a dramatic twist. What happened to the promised Tang Yumeng? How did it suddenly turn into Song Xiaojia?

Lin Chuan felt helpless. Perhaps, life is just so unpredictable. Or maybe, it's all just fate.

It wasn't until the next day at five in the morning that Lin Chuan finally dozed off. Once asleep, he quickly fell into a dream. In that muddled dream, it seemed like a paradise. In there, he and Tang Yumeng were living an idyllic life. The men tilled and the women weaved, life could not have been more harmonious.

However, the good times did not last; a formidable demon suddenly appeared in the paradise.

The appearance of the demon disrupted their lives and turned the paradise into ruins. Lin Chuan fought with the demon for three days and three nights, ultimately losing, and the demon also captured Tang Yumeng. In the blur, Lin Chuan noticed that the face of the demon was actually Song Xiaojia.

Ding dong...

The sound of the doorbell abruptly pulled Lin Chuan out of his dream. He climbed up hastily, looking at the empty room, outside the curtain was the bright sunshine. Lin Chuan wasn't used to closing the blackout curtains when he slept, so the room was still bright.

Lin Chuan quickly got up to open the door.

When he opened the door, Song Xiaojia was still so youthful and beautiful. She smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, congratulations, bring out the red packet. Ah!!!"

A sharp scream followed.

Lin Chuan looked down to see that he was only wearing a pair of underwear. Moreover, his morning erection was particularly prominent, as if a proud Mount Everest was emerging. Lin Chuan awkwardly smiled and said, "Don't mind it."

"Pervert, you wretched pervert," Song Xiaojia turned away, covering her eyes, stomping continuously.

Lin Chuan hurried back to the room to put on a robe.

Song Xiaojia cursed for a while, and seeing that Lin Chuan wasn't reacting, she curiously turned her head and saw Lin Chuan had put on his robe, then she blushed and walked in. While walking, she scolded, "You scoundrel, you're simply an exhibitionist."

"Used to sleeping like this," Lin Chuan chuckled.

"Hmph," Song Xiaojia snorted.

"Didn't I scare you?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Missy here is naturally brave, have not seen a corpse before?" Song Xiaojia snorted coldly, saying, "Am I supposed to be scared of you?"

"I'm not a corpse," Lin Chuan feebly replied before heading to the bathroom to freshen up.

Song Xiaojia sat down in the room, curiously looking outside, today was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Unexpectedly, she was spending her first day of the new year with Lin Chuan, and he was the first person she encountered this year. Could this imply that she might end up together with Lin Chuan, or even talk about marriage? Thinking of this, Song Xiaojia's cheeks grew even redder.

After freshening up, Lin Chuan came out of the bathroom already changed.

In daylight, Lin Chuan appeared even more spirited, and his complexion was good too. Lin Chuan hooked a smile and said, "Let's go downstairs for breakfast."

"Okay," Song Xiaojia nodded.

The hotel included breakfast, and the first breakfast of the new year was especially rich. Moreover, upon entering the dining room, the staff at the entrance distributed New Year red packets. Although just fifty or a hundred, it was part of the hotel's activity and fun.

"Wow, I got two hundred!" Song Xiaojia excitedly said.

"Lucky you," Lin Chuan chuckled.

"Indeed, much better than your fifty," Song Xiaojia giggled, thrilled as if she had won two thousand. Clearly, this was a child's innocence. Unexpectedly, Song Xiaojia still maintained a bit of childlike innocence.

After breakfast, Lin Chuan decided to return to Jiangbei City.

"Are you leaving already?" Song Xiaojia seemed somewhat reluctant, and the kiss Lin Chuan had left on her forehead last night during the New Year's countdown had completely stolen her heart, leaving Song Xiaojia somewhat displeased.

"It's time to go back," Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "If I don't go back now, I think my mom might go crazy."

"Alright," Song Xiaojia wasn't unreasonable, and seeing Lin Chuan put it this way, she could only agree. After all, today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was time to go back home and wish the family a happy New Year. Song Xiaojia asked, "Then... how are you going back?"
