"Mr. Mo, you're joking. I'm not some stunning beauty, how could I possibly bewitch you?" An Yiruo said somewhat insecurely, because she had never imagined that she would be liked by a big boss like Mo Jingchen.

"Miss An, there's no need to be modest. Even if you're not a beauty that could topple kingdoms, in my eyes, Miss An is the most beautiful."

After Mo Jingchen finished speaking, he released An Yiruo and fastened his seatbelt: "Miss An, we are going back to the old house. The old house is in the suburbs and it will take about an hour. If you feel bored, you can take a nap first."

An Yiruo blushed a little because of Mo Jingchen's series of actions, but she was actually nervous about meeting his parents, especially the parents of a wealthy family.

"Mr. Mo, what is our role in meeting your parents? Are we a couple? If your mother asks, how should I answer? Should I say how long we've been dating?"

An Yiruo wanted to get the right answer from Mo Jingchen.

“Miss An, of course we’ll be going back to meet your parents as a newlywed couple. As for how long we’ve been dating… you can arrange it however you like, Miss An. I’ll cooperate fully,” Mo Jingchen said as he drove.

“If that’s the case, then let’s say we’ve been dating for six months,” An Yiruo said after thinking for a moment in the passenger seat.

"Okay, let's do as Miss An says."

Having said the important things, An Yiruo closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

She wondered if Mo Jingchen had taken the wrong medicine today, as he was being unusually gentle with her.

After getting his hair and makeup done, Mo Jingchen seemed like a completely different person. They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

In An Yiruo's eyes now, a man's heart is just as unfathomable and unpredictable.

Today, Mo Jingchen did not let Xiao Zhang drive; instead, he drove An Yiruo back to the old house himself.

On the way, Mo Jingchen would occasionally glance at the passenger seat, and when he saw An Yiruo pretending to sleep, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

What to do? Ever since that night, he seems to be paying extra attention to this little woman.

And this little woman always manages to influence his emotions. This feeling... does it mean he's already fallen for her?

He initially softened towards her because of her body, since An Yiruo was the only person he could get close to.

As they spent more time together, he discovered that this woman had her own endearing qualities, and this touched Mo Jingchen's heart.

Before this, Mo Jingchen never believed in love at first sight. After meeting An Yiruo, Mo Jingchen suddenly realized that it wasn't that he didn't believe in it, but that he hadn't met the right person yet.

"Miss An, wake up, we're almost there."

An Yiruo slowly opened her eyes upon hearing the sound, turned her head to look out the window, and saw a place that resembled a manor, with a Chinese-style courtyard that looked antique.

An Yiruo understood that this was the old house that Mo Jingchen had mentioned. For some reason, An Yiruo felt a little nervous at this moment.

Seeing An Yiruo's heroic appearance, Mo Jingchen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Miss An, don't worry, my parents are very open-minded and would never be a monster. So Miss An, just relax."

"Mr. Mo, was my behavior that obvious?"

“Miss An has already written the words ‘heroic sacrifice’ on her face. Miss An herself, do you think it’s obvious?” Mo Jingchen couldn’t help but tease, while also trying to ease An Yiruo’s tension.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If your family doesn't like me, I can just retire early. Let's go, Mr. Mo."

Just as An Yiruo was about to open the car door and get out, Mo Jingchen pulled her back.

"Miss An, you can't just say things like 'leave early,' you know there are plenty of people waiting in line to take my job."

"Hmph, is Mr. Mo showing off? But Mr. Mo should also understand that the number of people chasing me could circle the earth twice," An Yiruo said, somewhat displeased and unwilling to be outdone.

"I have already experienced Miss An's charm. So... I will hold Miss An's hand tightly and never let go, and I hope that Miss An will do the same."

Hearing Mo Jingchen's firm tone, An Yiruo didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Should she give him a positive answer? She hadn't yet sorted out her own feelings.

So An Yiruo had no choice but to pretend she didn't understand the deeper meaning of Mo Jingchen's words, and got out of the car.

Mo Jingbie shook his head helplessly while sitting in the car, then pushed open the door and got out.

He knew in his heart that his journey to win back his wife was long and arduous.

After getting out of the car, Mo Jingchen took out several gifts from the trunk and handed them to An Yiruo.

"Mr. Mo, when did you prepare all this?" An Yiruo looked at the bags in her hands with some surprise, after all, Mo Jingchen had been with her all day.

“I prepared this while you were putting on makeup. I also called your aunt and told her that I would introduce you to my parents tonight so she wouldn’t have to worry.”

"Oh, Mr. Mo is really efficient."

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss An. Let's go."

Just as An Yiruo was about to take a step forward, Mo Jingchen called her back.

"Miss An, as newlyweds, shouldn't you be holding my arm?"

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate if my uncle and aunt saw this?"

An Yiruo had seen many news reports before, saying that one should not be too intimate with one's husband when visiting one's in-laws' home.

Being too intimate with your mother-in-law will make her jealous, and in the end, you'll be the one who suffers.

"Don't worry, Miss An. The more affection you show me, the happier they will be."
