At the entrance of Hertz Castle, Liao Qian was already waiting. He knew this would be the outcome, and he watched with ill intent as Lei Ting carried An Ning out of the car and smiled.

Lei Ting: "What are you laughing at! Quickly, have someone cook some noodles for An Ning. She hasn't eaten lunch yet!"

Liao Qian: "I'm laughing at you, why won't you let An Ning go? I've bought your plane ticket, you should go back now!"

Thunder: "Get lost! I'm not leaving even if you try..."

Liao Qian: "Hahaha, I knew it. What do you mean by 'a lifetime of memories'? You can't drive them away no matter how much you hit them or how much you scold them."

An Ning: "Liao Qian is the one I don't want to forget Lei Ting, I want to be with him..."

Liao Qian: "okok, I'm not laughing anymore. You two are true love! Allen, this is true love."

Allen: "We are true love too."

Liao Qian: "Yes! The four of us are the true love F4..."

Thunder: "Two waves, one..."

Liao Qian: "Get lost! Anning, you're wearing a skirt again today. Aren't you cold? Do you need a blanket?"

Thunder: "Come into my arms, I'll keep you warm when I hold you."

Liao Qian: "Oh dear, look at this size difference, doesn't it look like a big tiger and a little white rabbit?"

Allen: "Haha, it really looks like it."

Lei Ting was able to hold An Ning completely because An Ning was petite, while Lei Ting had broad shoulders and was a head taller than An Ning.

So the two of them standing together looked like a big tiger and a little white rabbit. Thunder bared his fangs at Liao Qian, who quickly invited them into the castle.

Inside the castle, a magician hired by Liao Qian was there to cheer An Ning up. Lei Ting held An Ning's hand tightly, even though she had hurt herself.

They watched the magic show on stage. Lei Ting would feed An Ning fruit one moment and juice the next, his eyes never leaving her for a moment.

Liao Qian gave Allen a wink, and Allen then distracted the Thunder.

Allen: "Thunder, my castle is beautiful at night, but it's missing something."

Thunder: "What's missing? Bright lights are so beautiful!"

Liao Qian: "Allen means that he hopes you can perform a show so that we can see the skills of Mr. Lei, who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, and also make An Ning happy. Wouldn't it be great if An Ning remembered you and forgave you? Mr. Lei, please do us a favor!"

Thunder: "Haha, okay, Anning, what kind of show do you want to see? I'll perform for you, a backflip or Chinese martial arts, you name it..."

Liao Qian: "These aren't very interesting. What we want to see is the iron flower display, Anning. Do you want to see thunder strike you during the iron flower display?"

An Ning: "Iron flower performance! There used to be performances at the gate of the mansion, but I wasn't in the courtyard or went out, so I didn't see it. Lei Ting, do you know how to do it?"

Lei Ting: "Yes, so Liao Qian, you've been preparing all this for me, just waiting for me to make my move. Well, you're quite cunning."

Liao Qian: "Haha, my Allen really likes our culture. W, go and get the things I prepared, and also get a protective suit for Boss Lei."

Thunder: "No way, no protective suits, I'll fight you shirtless, how cool is that?"

Anning: "No, you'll get burned. W, bring the protective suit."

Allen: "That's right, Thunder, you have to teach me, you have to teach me, I'll show Liao Qian..."

Thunder: "You've taken on an apprentice! Haha, okay, you guys stay away! W, put protective suits on An Ning and Liao Qian too. Make sure they don't get splashed."

W: "Okay."

Anning was a little worried because she had never seen Leiting perform iron flower stunts before. However, judging from Leiting's confident demeanor, everything would be fine. Hehe, Anning now wanted to see Leiting perform iron flower stunts for her.

Lei Ting looks so handsome in his protective suit! An Ning stared intently at Lei Ting. As Lei Ting threw out molten iron and lashed out with his whip a few times, the entire castle was enveloped in golden, dazzling iron sparks. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to be imprinted in her heart.

An Ning watched with delight. "So beautiful! Thunder is so cool, waving his braids as he dances through the iron flowers!" Allen tried to imitate him, also managing to create some beautiful iron flowers, though not as fast or as big as Thunder's.

Liao Qian wanted to talk to An Ning, and seeing that An Ning had drunk a glass of water, Liao Qian felt sorry for her and said to her.

Liao Qian: "You really scared me today."

An Ning: "Phew, I didn't want to remember this either, but I just remembered it like this."

Liao Qian: "An Ning, you've changed a lot in the six months since you came back..."

Anning: "Thunder said the same thing. He used to protect me too well, and I have a soft personality, so I can't think things through. If Thunder cheats on me again now, I will accept it calmly."

Liao Qian: "I really like you the way you are, generous and charming, cute yet intelligent. If I hadn't already been with Allen, I would have pursued you again."

An Ning: "Haha, I'll say it again, what does Lei Ting have to do with me having feelings for you! Haha..."

Liao Qian: "Haha, I knew you'd say that. Come on, cheers."

An Ning: "Cheers..."

An Ning and Liao Qian clinked glasses, and Lei Ting smiled as he watched their happy faces. The iron flower stunt was very hot, but seeing An Ning's smiling face made it all worthwhile for Lei Ting.

An Ning: "Lei Ting has changed a lot too. He used to be... well, I can't say how good he was to me... just average. He never wronged me, but he never cared about me like he does now."

Liao Qian: "He is absolutely sincere towards you, but he was slow to realize it. Maybe I should have told him you were here sooner, then he would have come to find you sooner, and you wouldn't have been separated for half a year."

An Ning: "In the past six months, I've learned a lot about finance, so I guess I've turned misfortune into blessing! I've already earned the title of 'Bread Queen,' otherwise I'd still be a housewife at Lei Ting's house."

Liao Qian: "Sometimes I envy Thunder, and sometimes I don't."
