Han Xiangdong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom and Dad, I'll go find Baozhen and have dinner with her tonight..."

“I remember Baozhen is off tomorrow. Why don’t you bring her back for dinner tonight?” Liu Sujuan suddenly picked up her phone and checked the calendar.

"Then I'll ask her." Han Xiangdong said and was about to leave.

"Brother, let's drive that big Jeep. The weather's bad; a four-wheel drive is safer."

"Okay." Han Xiangdong picked up his car keys and left.

"Alan, will that Yin Min try to trip me up?" Liu Sujuan was still a little worried.

"Mom, don't worry." Le Yao smiled. "Your daughter is very well-known. Even if Yin Min is stupid, Yin Gang is shrewd. He returned the penalty fee on the way back and apologized."

"That's good." Liu Sujuan sighed. "I was just afraid something else might happen. Look at your brother, he's getting on in years..."

Le Yao: ...

Is twenty-six considered an old age?

While driving, Han Xiangdong suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and knew without a doubt that it was his own mother making up stories about him.

Nie Baozhen had already adapted to her work at the orthopedic hospital and had started rotating shifts. She had originally planned to visit Han Xiangdong during her break, but then he showed up. Ignoring the other people around, she rushed over and hugged him tightly: "We haven't seen each other for almost a month. Did you miss me?"

Han Xiangdong blushed deeply and quickly tugged at her, saying, "Be careful, there are people around."

"We're a perfectly legitimate boyfriend and girlfriend, what's there to be careful about?" Nie Baozhen rolled her eyes and even gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Let's see if it's illegal?"

Han Xiangdong could only sigh helplessly: "Let's go, my mom asked me to take you home for dinner. Isn't tomorrow your day off? You can stay at home tonight."

"Shall I share a room with you?" Nie Baozhen's eyes lit up immediately.

"What are you thinking about?" Han Xiangdong felt his face burning. "There are plenty of rooms in the house."

Nie Baozhen pouted.

"Are you going or not?"

“Go.” Nie Baozhen nodded hurriedly. “Wait for me, I’m going to change my clothes and get my bag.”

To welcome her future sister-in-law, Le Yao cooked herself. After all, the Nangong family wasn't home, and Qiao Qiao was even busier now. Whenever she had a day off, she was either dealing with company matters or being occupied by Lu Min'an. They could only meet during school days, and it was actually quite difficult for them to see each other on their days off.

So, it's better to go back to my parents' house.

Nie Baozhen knew the Han family was wealthy, but when she actually entered the Longting Villa District, despite her best efforts to restrain herself, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Brother Xiangdong, the houses here must be very expensive, right?"

“Right?” Han Xiangdong nodded. “This house belongs to Alan; we’re just staying here temporarily.”

"It's alright, it's worth it even if I can stay for just one day now and then." Nie Baozhen quickly waved her hand.

“I have a two-bedroom apartment in Qingliyuan, but it hasn’t been handed over yet. It won’t be until February next year.” Han Xiangdong thought for a moment and then said it. “Alan paid the down payment.”

“That’s great!” Nie Baozhen’s eyes lit up. “My parents were originally going to help us with the down payment, but now they don’t need to. We can just save up for the renovation.”

"Don't you think Alan is stingy? She's so rich..."

"What are you thinking?" Nie Baozhen rolled her eyes at Han Xiangdong. "Alan's money wasn't given to you. It's already good enough that she's willing to pay your down payment. Now, let's pay off the loan and renovate together."
