"Is there anything else?" Jiang Li subtly broke free from his large hand's grasp.

"I should apologize for hurting you today. Do you have time? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

Jiang Li's brow twitched. What did this mean? He invited her to dinner on their second meeting? Was he trying to woo her? Was this the kind of approachable, gentlemanly man he was to everyone? Wasn't he just a "player"?!

Once bitten, twice shy; Jiang Li just wanted to slip away.

She blinked and a wide smile appeared on her lips. "Hehe... Mr. Lu, thank you for your kindness, but I may not be available today. I have a lot of work to do."

"It's okay, I'm free anytime. How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? I probably won't be free tomorrow either." Jiang Li maintained a smile with eight teeth showing, her face almost stiff from smiling. "Mr. Lu, I'm in a hurry to catch the subway, so I won't chat with you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying that, she turned and ran, running very fast, as if afraid he would catch up.

Lu Zhiheng frowned as he watched that hurried figure leave. "Am I that scary? Why are you so afraid of me?"

He got back into his car and immediately called Song Yunxi.

"Yunxi, I want to ask you about someone."

"Who?" Song Yunxi asked, holding her phone between her cheek and her fingers while flipping through documents.

"Is a girl named Jiang Li a new employee of your company?"

"Yeah, why are you asking this?"

“I think she is a rare talent, and my company is in dire need of someone like her,” Lu Zhiheng said, deliberately leaving the rest of his sentence unsaid.

Song Yunxi immediately understood his meaning and said with a smile, "If you like a girl, just say so. Why beat around the bush like this?"

"Isn't this asking you for people?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. He hasn't graduated from university yet. He's just here to experience life. He'll go back to school after this month."

Not graduated yet? Lu Zhiheng's eyes lit up. "Which school?"

"University B, Department of Finance"

Lu Zhiheng smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner if it goes well."

Hearing the other end of the phone hang up, Song Yunxi raised an eyebrow. The gentleman had finally come to his senses.

Courtyard No. 1.

Lin Yue was reading in the study, preparing for her postgraduate entrance exam. Cicadas chirped outside the window, and a cool breeze blew through the room.

On such a hot day, Song Yunzheng didn't want her to go outside; it was too hot, and he was afraid she would get heatstroke.

"Ding-dong..." The doorbell rang.

Lin Yue put down her book, walked barefoot quickly to open the door.

"Hello, this is Same-City Express Delivery. This is your gift, please accept it."

Lin Yue paused for a second, then smiled and accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you."

A large bouquet of roses, and a gift box.

After closing the door, Lin Yue returned to the living room with the two gifts and sat down on the sofa.

She was a little surprised. Did Song Yunzheng send it? No way. If he wanted to send flowers, why didn't he bring them back himself after get off work? Wouldn't that be better?

The flowers were ninety-nine bright red roses, vibrant and beautifully packaged.

She then opened the cardboard box next to her and saw a small card with a few lines of beautiful, flowing, and powerful handwriting.

The card reads: "Wife, this is a small gift, nothing special, but I hope you like it—your forever loving husband."

Lin Yue held the card and kept grinning foolishly, feeling sweet inside, sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

She continued unpacking the gift box, inside which was a car key, an Audi Horch, and to her even greater surprise, a doll was hanging from the key.

But... why does this doll look so familiar? The more I look at it, the more it resembles a cartoon version of Song Yunzheng!

"Childish," Lin Yue muttered under her breath, but the smile on her lips never faded.

Just as she was admiring the gift, her phone rang. It was Song Yunzheng calling.

"Yueyue, did you receive the gift?"

"Yes, I got it, honey. I got my driver's license a long time ago, but I've never dared to drive it on the road."

"So I bought you a car to practice driving."

Wow! Buying a new car to practice driving, that's pretty extravagant.

"This is a brand new car. If I scratch it, I'll be heartbroken and won't dare to drive it."

"Don't worry, I'll sit next to you and teach you. You'll get the hang of it quickly, especially since you're so smart."

Lin Yue held the car keys in her hand, smiled, and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

The next day, Song Yunzheng took her to another property, where there were few cars and wide roads, making it a good place for beginners to practice driving.

But! Why did you have to call your mother-in-law over for driving practice too?!

Lin Yue wasn't nervous at first, but when she saw Zhou Lirong smiling at her from the side, she unconsciously became nervous.

Her eyes were fixed on the road ahead, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, while Song Yunzheng sat in the passenger seat patiently giving her instructions.

"Don't be nervous, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel, press the accelerator slowly, turn on your turn signal in advance when turning, and lightly apply the brakes... Okay, stop."

Lin Yue turned to Song Yunzheng with a smile, "How was it? Did you get hurt?"

This is a brand new car; if it gets damaged, she'll be heartbroken.

Song Yunzheng got out of the car and took a look. "Not bad, you'll get the hang of it with a little more practice."

Lin Yue was overjoyed to receive the praise. "Honey, I'll try it myself this time. You and Mom should stay away, okay? I'm afraid of hurting innocent people."

Song Yunzheng glanced at the road, hesitated, and nodded, "Then be careful."

Lin Yue cautiously turned the steering wheel and slowly drove off. However, she couldn't turn back when she reached the intersection. She forgot how to make a U-turn and tried several times, but eventually the car ended up blocking the road.

Song Yunzheng immediately ran over, "What's wrong?"
