In the passenger seat, Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Que, puzzled, and hummed in response, leaning slightly closer to Shen Que in the next second.

"Director Shen is in a hurry, huh?"

Shen Que looked at Jiang Cheng with indulgence and replied openly, "Yes."

Jiang Cheng’s smile became brighter, and she leaned back in her seat, joyfully saying, "I like it!"

Shen Que’s smile broadened and was now priceless.

As he started the car, he handed Jiang Cheng a warm water bottle.

"To keep your hands warm, there’s some sunflower seeds and peanuts, and also an apple."

Jiang Cheng looked at the little snacks Shen Que had prepared, with a cheerful smile, she quickly leaned over to give Shen Que a quick peck on the cheek.

"That’s your reward!"

Shen Que instantly felt electrified, wishing he could just carry the car on his back.

"Buckle up, we’re off."

The car started moving.

Shen Que drove out of the city while keeping Jiang Cheng in his peripheral vision.

"Aren’t you curious where I’m taking you?"

"Of course I’m curious!"

Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Que cooperatively.

Shen Que smiled gently and said, "I want to show you my parents, and tell them we’re getting married."

After saying this, Shen Que glanced at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Do you want to go back and see them?"

While eating peanuts, Jiang Cheng understood what Shen Que meant. She thought for a while and said, "Okay."

"Then tomorrow I’ll drive you back to my hometown, up the hill to see your future in-laws."

"Sounds good! I’ll wait for you at home."

They both smiled at each other as they spoke.

The car continued driving and stopped at a slightly desolate place.

The car stopped at the bottom of a small hill, and the two of them got out. Shen Que carried a basket in one hand and held Jiang Cheng’s hand with the other.

"Be careful."

"It’s fine, I have you to hold me."

Jiang Cheng smiled sweetly and with a bit of dependence, making Shen Que’s protective instincts surge.

The two of them walked hand in hand up the hill and stopped in front of two tombstones after walking a bit.

Shen Que put down the things and personally cleaned up a bit.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward to help.

After it was clean, Shen Que took a small iron basin and some yellow paper from the basket, lighting them on fire when there was no wind.

"Dad, Mom, I’m here to see you."

"I’m not here alone...."

"Her name is Jiang Cheng, and she will be the love of my life."

After Shen Que finished speaking, Jiang Cheng knelt on the ground in front of the two tombstones with a thud.

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I’m Jiang Cheng, and I’ll take good care of Shen Que, so don’t worry."

"When we come next time, I’ll address you differently, okay?"

Listening to Jiang Cheng’s words, Shen Que’s nose tingled.

How lucky he was, to have met her.

After they both finished speaking, they tidied up, ensured there were no safety hazards, and left.

On the way back, Jiang Cheng felt like their relationship had gotten a bit closer.

It truly felt different when there’s a "blessing"!

Shen Que drove without returning to the large courtyard.

He took Jiang Cheng to the park.

The two of them had rare free time, so they just went on a date.

Even though the weather was cold, they weren’t the only ones on a date.

The unique shyness of the times was playing out in many corners of the park.

Along the way, Jiang Cheng saw several couples who had been holding hands let go as soon as they saw people.

She found it interesting and simply held onto Shen Que’s hand, wanting to let go when she saw people, but Shen Que held her tightly.

Jiang Cheng glared at Shen Que, who looked at her innocently and confidently said, "The wind’s strong, your hands will get cold."

Jiang Cheng burst into laughter instantly.

What a great excuse!

The two of them tried to walk where there were fewer people, and as they walked, they reached the lakeside where many people were skating.

Jiang Cheng got interested too and simply pulled Shen Que onto the ice.

Sliding on the ice, pushing each other, the game couldn’t be simpler, but the joy never diminished because of its simplicity.

After playing for over half an hour, Jiang Cheng was sweating.

Shen Que pulled her and said, "Let’s go back and make an ice cart, and come back next time."

"Sure!"

Jiang Cheng agreed with a smile, and the two left the ice, taking the opportunity to catch a movie.

In the dark cinema, Jiang Cheng’s hand remained in Shen Que’s.

She watched seriously, though she wasn’t sure if Shen Que did too.

After the movie ended, they finally returned to the large courtyard.

Grandma Shen saw them return together, with a teasing smile on her face.

Jiang Cheng completely ignored Grandma Shen’s teasing smile and said very frankly, "Shen Que and I went on a date."

Grandma Shen showed a pained expression.

"Jiang Cheng, can’t you be a bit more reserved?"

Jiang Cheng shook her head earnestly and said, "I can’t!"

Grandma Shen smiled as if she was used to it, pointing inside, "Your foreign friend is waiting for you, we can’t get a word in, go take a look."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng quickly went inside.

Inside, Shen Xing was learning English with George.

Shen Xing was holding a pencil, George said "pencil."

Shen Xing repeated it, then switched to an eraser, George said it again, and Shen Xing learned it, before switching again.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng could only sigh: The self-discipline of a top student.

Her gaze shifted to Shen Yue.

Hmm... indeed, everything about studying has nothing to do with underachievers.

Shen Yue was engrossed in a comic book.

Jiang Cheng quietly approached.

"Yue Yue, is it good?"

"It’s great—"

Shen Yue suddenly turned back, seeing Jiang Cheng, a little head turned and said, "Sister, I’m learning its drawing style, I think I can draw too!"

Jiang Cheng looked at the Shen Yue who had quickly found a reason, and touched, she said, "Not bad, not bad, you have a bit of your sister’s demeanor."

After she finished speaking, Jiang Cheng glanced at the comic book and thoughtfully said, "If you want to draw, draw. I’ll cover your postage, we’ll submit it."

"Really?"

Shen Yue looked a little excited but also a little scared, looking at Jiang Cheng hesitantly.

Jiang Cheng said generously, "Don’t worry, your big brother has money, after all, he’s a director, don’t save his money!"

Shen Que came in just in time to hear this, and Shen Yue looked at Shen Que with bright eyes.

What could Shen Que do, he could only nod and say, "Yes, listen to your Sister Jiang Cheng."

Hearing this, Shen Yue immediately hugged Jiang Cheng and said sweetly, "Sister, you’re the best!"

"If I really earn a manuscript fee, I’ll give it all to you!"

Jiang Cheng held Shen Yue, looking at Shen Que with a playful glance.

Shen Que shook his head helplessly.

Actually, he could also hand over his salary.

Jiang Cheng didn’t know Shen Que’s thoughts. She let go of Shen Yue and went to George’s side, conversing with him in fluent English.

Shen Xing listened enviously from the side.

Sister is really amazing!

No wonder she always praises her own excellence; she truly is outstanding!

Within a few minutes, Jiang Cheng and George almost finished communicating.

She stood up and looked at Shen Que, saying, "George wants to move over today, let’s help him."

"Alright!"

Shen Que naturally had no objections.

The Shen family, along with a few people from Li Chunxiang’s family, busily helped George settle into a nearby home.

After tidying up, the group was about to leave when George suddenly spoke, "Can Shen Xing stay?"
