The next morning, Liu Xiaoyuan called his parents and told them that Lu Siyao was coming to their house to pick up some things.

On the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan's mother kept asking him what his relationship with Lu Siyao was, which made Liu Xiaoyuan very depressed.

That's how my mom is; she makes it seem like Liu Xiaoyuan can't find a wife.

Liu Xiaoyuan could only say that Lu Siyao was his good friend, but his mother still didn't believe him. In the end, having no other choice, Liu Xiaoyuan had to tell his mother where the bloodletting Ganoderma lucidum was located, and asked her to give it to Lu Siyao later.

After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan hung up the phone.

After nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiaoyuan received a call from Lu Siyao. After answering the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan's first question was whether he had received the items.

Lu Siyao said, "I got the things, but Liu Xiaoyuan, do you know that by going to your house to get things, my reputation has been ruined?"

Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, "It's just taking something, is it really that serious?"

Later, after hearing what Lu Siyao said, Liu Xiaoyuan realized that it was indeed a bit serious.

After receiving Liu Xiaoyuan's call last night, Lu Siyao drove her family's car to Liu Xiaoyuan's house early this morning. Since Lu Siyao had been to Liu Xiaoyuan's house before when handling cases, she knew the way very well.

When Lu Siyao arrived at Liu Xiaoyuan's house, she went inside. Her father, Liu Haimin, immediately recognized her as the police officer who had handled the case last time. Seeing Lu Siyao come to the house so early in the morning, Liu Haimin thought something had happened and seemed a little nervous.

Liu Haimin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they had come to help Liu Xiaoyuan carry his things.

After meeting Lu Siyao, my mother liked her more and more. Lu Siyao was beautiful and kept calling her "Auntie," which made my mother very happy.

At this time, some women in the village saw a car parked in front of Liu Xiaoyuan's house. The more gossipy women went into Liu Xiaoyuan's house to find out what was going on. When they saw that there was a strange girl in Liu Xiaoyuan's house, and she was so beautiful, they immediately regarded Lu Siyao as Liu Xiaoyuan's girlfriend.

Lu Siyao's mother was more than happy for her to be Liu Xiaoyuan's girlfriend, so she accepted all the congratulations, which made Lu Siyao blush with embarrassment.

Finally, Mom insisted on having breakfast at home with Lu Siyao, and during the meal, she asked about Lu Siyao's family situation.

"Liu Xiaoyuan, tell me, all I did was go to your house to get something for you, and now everyone in your village thinks I'm your girlfriend. Have you ruined my reputation?" Lu Siyao asked, feigning anger.

Liu Xiaoyuan said, "What does it matter? At worst, I'll just suffer a loss and marry you. That way, Your Highness's reputation won't be ruined."

"Hmph!" Lu Siyao felt a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, but she said aloud, "Who wants to marry a scoundrel like you? Dream on!"

Although I didn't see Lu Siyao in person, I could tell from her tone that she was saying one thing and meaning another.

Liu Xiaoyuan hurriedly said, "Then I'm in big trouble!"

Lu Siyao immediately asked, "What's wrong with you? It's me, the princess, who's in trouble, okay?"

Liu Xiaoyuan said, "It's clearly me who's in a bad situation, okay? Think about it, Your Highness, if you come to my house, everyone in our village will think that Your Highness is my girlfriend. If Your Highness doesn't marry me in the future, how am I supposed to find a wife?"

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Lu Siyao on the other end of the phone stomped her foot in anger and cursed, "You bastard! You bastard, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

After saying that, Lu Siyao said, "Remember to pick me up from the airport today, or you know what will happen."

Lu Siyao then hung up the phone.

After teasing Lu Siyao a few times, Liu Xiaoyuan was in a particularly good mood. He hummed a little tune as he walked out of the room and went to Lin Xin's room.

Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to borrow a car from Lin Xin to pick up Lu Siyao from the airport, since it would be more convenient for him to drive himself.

Lin Xin immediately had the hotel prepare a Mercedes-Benz worth millions for Liu Xiaoyuan. Liu Xiaoyuan took the car keys and quickly said thank you.

It was noon, lunchtime, but Liu Xiaoyuan didn't eat. Instead, he drove to the airport to pick up Lu Siyao.

Liu Xiaoyuan guessed that Lu Siyao probably hadn't eaten either, so he would take her out to eat after picking her up from the airport.

After arriving at the airport, Liu Xiaoyuan checked the time; it was still early, only 12:35.

Out of boredom, Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to turn on the air conditioning, recline the seat, and rest in the Mercedes-Benz.

When it was 1 o'clock, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately got out of the car and walked to the arrival gate to wait for Lu Siyao to appear.

Soon, a group of people came out. Liu Xiaoyuan looked closely and saw that Lu Siyao was not among them.

It seems that this group of people were not on Lu Siyao's flight.

After waiting for about five minutes, another group of people came out. Liu Xiaoyuan looked closely and immediately spotted Lu Siyao in the crowd.

Lu Siyao was dressed exceptionally beautifully today. She wore a light pink sun hat, brown sunglasses, a white T-shirt, and a chiffon printed long skirt, making her look pure and lovely.

Despite Lu Siyao's outfit today, Liu Xiaoyuan recognized her at a glance. There was no way around it; Lu Siyao's outfit was too eye-catching, like a red flower among green leaves.

"Siyao, Siyao!" Liu Xiaoyuan waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Siyao immediately turned her gaze over and waved to Liu Xiaoyuan.

"Here, give me the suitcase!" Liu Xiaoyuan took the suitcase from Lu Siyao and then led her towards the parking area.

"Siyao, you look so beautiful today," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, noticing the lovely fragrance emanating from Lu Siyao.

Along the way, many men cast glances at Lu Siyao, and she couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

Feeling pleased with Liu Xiaoyuan's praise, Lu Siyao said, "Was I not pretty before?"

Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "She was pretty before, but she's even prettier today, and she'll be even prettier in the future."

"Why will you be even more beautiful in the future?" Lu Siyao asked, turning her head.

Liu Xiaoyuan said with a grin, "Because the princess is going to take me as her consort in the future. With me as her consort, the princess will naturally become more and more beautiful!"

"Liu Xiaoyuan, you scoundrel! You're so glib, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Lu Siyao said, stretching out her hands as if to tear Liu Xiaoyuan's mouth apart.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan dragged Lu Siyao's suitcase and ran ahead. Lu Siyao chased after him in her high-heeled sandals, shouting as she ran, "Don't run, you bad guy, don't run!"

Passersby who witnessed this scene had mixed opinions. Some thought the two were flirting and naturally cast envious and jealous glances at Liu Xiaoyuan. Others thought Liu Xiaoyuan was a thief who had stolen Lu Siyao's things, so the men and women, wanting to impress a beautiful woman like Lu Siyao, immediately stepped forward to catch Liu Xiaoyuan, just like Lei Feng.
