Dong Xiaolu greeted everyone apologetically, saying that she and Han Ming still had things to take care of.

Everyone present already knew her identity. Looking at Han Ming, they suddenly realized that this boy next door was actually the boyfriend of the richest man's daughter.

Everyone had mixed feelings, but they all politely saw Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu out of the restaurant.

Even after Han Ming got into Dong Xiaolu's group's car, his head was still spinning.

This happened so suddenly, I can't process it right now.

Having the amazing X-ray glasses at his fingertips, he still failed to uncover his girlfriend's identity—that was truly careless of him.

It's also my fault. I only thought Dong Xiaolu came from a wealthy family. Who would have thought her family was so rich?

Besides, out of trust for his girlfriend, he wouldn't normally use the glasses to delve into her secrets, so it's not fair to blame the X-ray glasses for not knowing her background.

But now he suddenly knows Dong Xiaolu's identity, and then he has to go to her house to meet his future father-in-law.

At that moment, Han Ming's heart started pounding rapidly; he was so nervous.

I glanced at the dedicated driver in the car, then noticed a sharp-fitting, silent man in the passenger seat, and then realized there was another car following behind.

This display certainly has the air of a wealthy heiress.

When asked quietly what was going on, Dong Xiaolu's girlfriend explained that these were bodyguards arranged by her father.

She rushed out the door when she received Tian Jiajia's text message, even though her parents were firmly against it.

However, Dong Xiaolu was determined to come out, and her father had no choice but to arrange for someone to follow her out, fearing that his daughter might encounter danger.

As for why he insisted on seeing her so late at night, Dong Xiaolu shook her head, only saying that her father, Dong Youfu, had instructed her to bring Han Ming to see him no matter how late it was.

When Han Ming heard his girlfriend say this, he broke out in a sweat. He wondered if the wealthy man from Dongning had summoned him so late at night because of his girlfriend.

He had abducted Dong Xiaolu from home for three months! Now he was in deep trouble; he'd be in serious trouble, if not dead.

Seeing Han Ming's nervous expression, Dong Xiaolu also held her boyfriend's hand tightly.

Although she herself was also uneasy, wondering what her father would do to Han Ming.

However, based on her understanding of her father and the extent of her parents' doting on her, she felt that even if things didn't go well, her father wouldn't make things too difficult for Han Ming.

Besides, she has her boyfriend's unwavering support; if anything happens, she and Han Ming will face it together.

With his girlfriend's support, Han Ming calmed down a bit. He took a few deep breaths and started thinking about various ways to deal with the situation.

The car quickly drove into a villa area in the city and stopped in front of a large house.

When the moment arrived, Han Ming was not as nervous as before.

Anyway, whether he sticks his neck out or not, he'll get stabbed sooner or later, and he'll have to face this situation sooner or later. Besides, with the feeling of having the world at his fingertips, Han Ming took it out to boost his morale.

He's just a rich man. I'll be a tycoon sooner or later.

Encouraging himself, Han Ming followed Dong Xiaolu into the magnificent villa.

Han Ming paid no attention to the interior decoration, only feeling that it reflected the wealth and power of the homeowner.

There was a butler at the door and servants inside. As Han Ming followed Dong Xiaolu to the study, he felt his confidence slowly fading.

It wasn't until he entered the study and the servants closed the door behind him that Han Ming noticed a burly figure with his back to him.

If Dong Xiaolu hadn't been there, I probably would have gone limp right now.

Han Ming cursed himself for being spineless, but then mentally encouraged himself.

But he ran into trouble about what to call Dong Xiaolu's father.

Should I call him "Uncle" like in the TV shows, or should I follow the real-life custom and call him "Uncle"?

Looking around, I didn't see anyone else, so it seems my girlfriend's mother isn't here.

"Dad, I'm back." Dong Xiaolu took the initiative to speak when she saw her boyfriend was nervous.

"That brat brought him along too, didn't he?"

Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Dong Youfu did not turn around immediately. He simply said something softly and stood there staring at something, seemingly lost in thought.

Han Ming thought to himself, "What do you mean 'brat'? Since you call me 'brat,' then I'll call you 'uncle' instead of 'father'."

So Han Ming called out softly:

"Hello, Uncle, I'm Han Ming."

Upon hearing this, Dong Youfu, holding a photograph in his hand, turned around and looked directly at Han Ming, who then saw his girlfriend's father face to face.

With a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, his temples were streaked with gray, perhaps from the daily toil of managing a large enterprise.

However, he looked to be in good spirits and gave off a vigorous and energetic vibe.

Han Ming felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at from head to toe by Dong Youfu. It was impossible for him not to be nervous.

After all, he was facing the richest entrepreneur in Dongning City, and the aura that had been cultivated by his long-standing high position made Han Ming's heart tremble.

Besides, the other party is now his girlfriend's biological father, so part of his and Dong Xiaolu's future is in his hands.

So Han Ming could only try to hide his embarrassment by taking deep breaths.

For his girlfriend's sake, and to avoid losing face, Han Ming struggled to hold on.

Dong Xiaolu saw her father scanning her boyfriend's entire body with unwavering eyes, and she had no idea what her father was up to.

In any case, as far as I can remember, my dad has never looked at anyone like that before.

Is it like what outsiders say, that mothers-in-law grow to like their sons-in-law more and more the more they look at them? But my father is the father-in-law, not the mother-in-law.

Dong Xiaolu pondered to herself, and seeing that her father was still watching without saying anything, she spoke up:

"Dad, why are you staring at people like that without saying anything?"

Seeing his daughter speak, Dong Youfu glanced at Dong Xiaolu, but still didn't say anything, and sat down behind the large desk without making a sound.

Seeing that her father had settled down, Dong Xiaolu hurriedly pulled Han Ming to sit down on the sofa next to her.

Han Ming was very reserved at the moment. Looking at the atmosphere in the room and his girlfriend's father's expression, he had no idea what was going on.

For a moment, he even considered using X-ray glasses to help analyze the "enemy situation."

But in the end, he gave up. After all, if he needed glasses to help his girlfriend's father, it would make him seem too pathetic.

When Dong Youfu saw his daughter warmly inviting Han Ming to sit down and even making him tea, a pang of sadness rose in his heart.

She stared at it for a moment, then sighed softly, a phrase flashing through her mind: "Girls are outgoing."

"So you're the one who kidnapped my daughter and kept her away for three months?"

Dong Youfu asked in a deep voice.

Han Ming, who had just begun to relax, felt his heart leap into his throat again upon hearing this, unsure how to respond.

Dong Xiaolu came to his rescue, saying sweetly:

"Oh, Dad, didn't I tell you? It wasn't kidnapping; I went there voluntarily."
