Thanks to the caretaker, the two of them were able to have a candlelight dinner date together.

Luo Qianqian muttered to herself as she cut her steak.

"What's wrong with my mom lately? Why has she suddenly changed her attitude towards you?"

From the moment she found out that she was with Gu Yunche, her own mother was firmly against it. She even forbade her to come home late, for fear that she would be on a date with Gu Yunche.

Today, surprisingly, she wasn't allowed to go home for dinner and was instead told to have dinner with Gu Yunche.

This is not normal, it's extremely abnormal.

"Perhaps... it's thanks to your father," Gu Yunche said with a faint smile.

Her mother's attitude towards her changed mainly because the Nie family made him look better in comparison.

Now that she has discovered their true colors, Nie Sen, whom she had previously favored, is no longer as repulsive or resistant towards him.

"Really? When did my dad's words become so influential?" Luo Qianqian asked, half believing and half doubting.

Her mother has always been the head of the household, and her father's words have never had much influence. This time, however, her father managed to persuade her mother.

I just don't believe that.

Gu Yunche smiled faintly and remained silent. Not only was she surprised, but he also did not expect his mother to have such a change.

However, it's not a bad thing for them after all.

After the two finished their meal, they sat in the living room to rest. Luo Qianqian glanced at Gu Yunche, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, and sighed.

"You make me feel like I'm not here to date you, but to negotiate with you."

Which couple in love sits this far apart?

Gu Yunche paused for a few seconds, then got up and moved to sit down next to her.

"Is it okay now?"

Luo Qianqian chuckled. She had been saddened by his distance from her earlier, but she never imagined that he wasn't deliberately distancing himself. He simply... didn't know how to get along with people, much less how to handle romantic relationships.

Such a flaw is something that makes people both love and hate it.

She loved him because she had never liked anyone before.

I hate people like that because they are so clueless about romance.

Seeing that Luo Qianqian didn't speak, he thought for a moment and then put his arm around her shoulder.

Hmm, it seems like that's how it should be.

Fu Hanzheng always likes to put his arm around his wife's shoulder and waist whenever he goes to pick her up.

Luo Qianqian chuckled, "Where did you learn that?"

“Fu Hanzheng,” Gu Yunche said truthfully.

Luo Qianqian leaned against his shoulder, a happy smile playing on her lips.

"I discovered..."

"What?" Gu Yunche asked, turning his head.

"You're getting cuter and cuter," Luo Qianqian said sweetly.

cute?

Gu Yunche didn't really like this inexplicable description. No matter what, you can't call a man cute.

The two were enjoying a rare moment of sweetness when Luo Qianqian's phone rang.

She picked it up and looked at it, saying helplessly.

"My mom."

As soon as the call was answered, Zou Fang's urging voice could be heard.

"I asked you to have a meal, and you've been eating for hours. What time is it? Why aren't you back yet?"

"Okay, I'll be right back," Luo Qianqian replied.

Given her mother's leniency today, she decided to behave well and go home early.

After all, the more she went against her mother for Gu Yunche's sake, the less her mother liked Gu Yunche.

Luo Qianqian stood up and said after seeing her hang up the phone.

"I'll take you back."

Luo Qianqian took her coat and her bag, and happily took his hand.

"Let's go."

Since the two houses were not far apart, they chose to walk there.

The moonlight was gentle, and the evening breeze was soft.

Luo Qianqian glanced at the man walking beside her from time to time, "Gu Yunche, are you happy being with me?"

"Yes, I'm happy." Gu Yunche thought for a few seconds and answered seriously.

At least, he had never experienced such intense joy before he met him.
