The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains onto Lin Yuan's face. He was still asleep when he was awakened by a soft call.

"Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, it's time to get up." The housekeeper Xia Qingxue's voice was gentle and soft, with a hint of concern.

Lin Yuan rubbed his eyes, slowly sat up, and saw that Xia Qingxue was already standing by the bed.

She was wearing a black and white housekeeper uniform, which made her look exceptionally professional and capable.

"Why are you up so early?" Lin Yuan yawned and stretched.

Xia Qingxue smiled slightly: "Aren't you going to visit Liu Xinran's parents today? I've prepared cigarettes, alcohol, and tea for you; they're all on the table in the living room."

Lin Yuan was puzzled. In the past, whenever he got close to a girl, Zhao Lili would go crazy.

I always thought that true love would involve jealousy, but I never expected someone like Xia Qingxue to be like that.

"Sister Xue, you are always so thoughtful."

Xia Qingxue gently shook her head, her eyes filled with tenderness: "You are my master, and it is my duty to take care of you."

Lin Yuan smiled, stood up, and asked the butler to help him put on his clothes.

"To be honest, what do you think of Liu Xinran?"

She knew what Lin Yuan's question meant...

Liu Xinran is of extraordinary significance to Lin Yuan.

Perhaps, this approachable and beautiful woman is the white moonlight of my younger brother?

The magic of the white moonlight is like the cinnabar mole in our hearts back then.

While straightening his clothes, she said, "Miss Liu, she's very good. No one is more suitable to be the mistress of this house. I just feel that she needs to maintain some boundaries with the master in the future."

You're overthinking it.

Lin Yuan followed Xia Qingxue into the living room.

The table was set with exquisite cigarettes, wine, and tea, each item showing great care.

"Is this enough?" Xia Qingxue asked softly.

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's enough, you've prepared very thoroughly."

Xia Qingxue smiled and turned to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Lin Yuan sat on the sofa, picked up his phone, and glanced at the time.

Today is indeed an important day; he is going to visit Liu Xinran's parents to formally confirm their relationship.

Liu Xinran's home is a two-story duplex villa located in an upscale residential community.

Lin Yuan arrived at the Liu family's house at the agreed time.

As soon as I entered, I felt a chilly atmosphere.

Liu Xinran's parents sat on the sofa in the living room, their faces showing obvious displeasure.

"You've arrived." Liu Xinran's mother said coldly, her tone impatient.

Lin Yuan was already prepared, after all, he had "kidnapped" Liu Xinran from her home, and no one would give him a good look in his place.

You can't hit someone who's smiling.

He smiled, stepped forward, and politely said, "Good morning, Uncle and Aunt. I am Lin Yuan, Xinran's friend."

Liu Xinran's father snorted coldly and remained silent.

Liu Xinran's mother said coldly, "Lin Yuan, do you know how important Xinran is to our family? You want to associate with her, but you don't even say hello. What does that mean?"

Lin Yuan looked at Liu Xinran's mother in a calm tone.

“Auntie, I know you’re worried about Xinran, but I can assure you that I will take good care of her. We just want to give each other some space so that she can decide her own future.”

Just as Liu Xinran's mother was about to speak, she suddenly heard a commotion at the door.

A woman in her fifties walked in with a young man; they were Wei's mother and her son, Wei Minghao.

As soon as Mrs. Wei entered the door, she said loudly, "You must be Lin Yuan! I am Mrs. Wei from the Wei family. My son Wei Minghao and Xinran have been engaged since childhood. I came here today specifically in the hope that you will back down."

The middle-aged woman nudged Wei Minghao beside her.

He then said, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt. Xinran and I grew up together since we were little, childhood sweethearts. We know each other well, and if anything happens, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

After saying this, Wei Minghao winked at Lin Yuan.

This implies that everything was forced upon me by my mother, so please don't be offended.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinran was so angry that she almost stood up to teach her childhood sweetheart a lesson.

Lin Yuan pulled Liu Xinran back. He had known for a long time that the Wei family and the Liu family had some connections, but he did not expect the Wei family to step in at this time.

Liu Xinran's eyes were filled with helplessness and anger.

When Wei's mother saw Lin Yuan, she sneered and said, "You must be Lin Yuan, right? You've kidnapped Xinran, haven't you?"

Lin Yuan maintained his calm smile.

“Mrs. Wei, you’ve misunderstood. Xinran is with me willingly; there was no coercion between us.”

Mother Wei sneered, "Hmph, what right do you, a poor boy, have to be with Xinran? My Minghao is a graduate of a top university in China, with both a bachelor's and master's degree. He works in the Wei family's own company and is the future successor. Xinran will definitely not lose out by marrying him."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, said nothing, but took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Mother Wei, please take a look at this first."

Mother Wei took the business card, glanced at it, and her face instantly turned ugly. The business card read: Lin Yuan, Chairman of Shenhao Technology Company, Founder of South China Sea Diving Base, Partner of Siyi Design Studio...

Lin Yuan maintained his calm smile.

His tone was calm but carried an undeniable air of authority.

“Mother Wei, I also graduated from a top university in China. Like Wei Minghao, we were both student representatives. Now I have assets of over 100 million yuan and own several companies, including Shenhao Technology Company, the South China Sea Diving Base, and Siyi Design Studio.”

Upon hearing this, Wei's mother turned pale and tugged at her son's arm as if facing a formidable enemy.

She never expected Lin Yuan to have such a powerful background.

She smiled awkwardly, took Wei Minghao's hand, and said, "Minghao, do you think this is your classmate?"

Wei Minghao also realized his mother's loss of composure.

He smiled awkwardly: "Indeed, it's Lin Yuan from the student council. He knows that Xinran and I are childhood sweethearts."

Upon hearing this, Wei's mother turned even paler.

"Son, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Wei Minghao scratched his head.

"I've already told you, but you wouldn't listen!"

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Yes, we understand Minghao's feelings. Xinran's happiness is the most important thing, right?"

Wei Minghao nodded and quickly pulled his mother down to sit, telling her to stop making a fuss.

Liu's parents were also stunned; they hadn't expected Lin Yuan to have such a powerful background.

Liu Xinran's mother smiled awkwardly and said, "Lin Yuan, it was a misunderstanding just now. Please sit down, let's have a good talk."
