Staying in the mansion is boring, so I might as well go out and have some fun.

Not long after, Luo Jiu applied a little makeup and came downstairs.

She has a striking face, yet her simple makeup gives her a unique charm.

When Su Hengzhe saw Luo Jiu get out, he very gentlemanly opened the passenger seat for her and gestured for her to enter.

Is nobody here?

There's a saying that goes, "Don't just sit in the passenger seat of a man's car; what if he's a germaphobe and only lets his girlfriend sit there?"

"Please sit down, Miss. It's ready."

Luo Jiu smiled and went upstairs without saying anything more.

"I wonder if Miss Luo has any particular places she'd like to visit?" Su Hengzhe drove steadily, without any of the spoiled habits of a rich young master.

"Huh? Didn't you ask me out? Haven't you decided where you want to go?" Luo Jiu leaned against the window, somewhat puzzled.

"Since there isn't one, let's try something different!"

...

Seine Mansion.

Has Miss Luo returned yet?

Xu Shaojun asked in a low voice, his eyes still fixed on stirring the black coffee.

"Not yet, Major General."

Lin Fu was somewhat helpless. This had been going on since nightfall, and now the moon was high in the sky. The Major General had probably asked countless times.

This is the first time I've seen a major general care so much about a woman. However, this major general who doesn't understand love is scary, and this major general who is in unrequited love is even more unapproachable.

Xu Shaojun figured that his patience had run out.

"Smack!"

The spoon was tossed onto the table with a crisp sound.

A young lady like you, all you do is go out and party with men, and you're not home until late at night. Didn't you learn your lesson from last time?

Xu Shaojun couldn't quite describe how he felt.

I know Luo Jiu is a famous singer in Shanghai. Since that's her profession, she must make a living at night. She probably walks the streets at night more often than during the day.

To put it another way, Luo Jiu and I have absolutely no connection. We're not related at all, maybe... we shared a kiss once. She can go wherever she wants, she can go wild if she wants...

But... what's with this inexplicable annoyance?

Ever since she learned that Luo Jiu had accepted gifts from other men and agreed to go on a spring outing, she hadn't felt any better.

There was a lump in my throat, stuck there. I couldn't let it go up or down.

"Major General, Miss Luo is back."

A soldier in military uniform rushed in through the door, his steps hurried. He seemed somewhat excited.

The major general was in a bad mood, his face dark all day. The atmosphere was so tense that it truly frightened his subordinates.

Miss Luo is finally back; otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

"Ha! So she finally decided to come back. And now that she's back, she's back. Why are you so excited, acting like the whole world is waiting for her? How pathetic!"

Although Xu Shaojun's tone was cold and his face showed displeasure, at least the tense atmosphere had subsided.

Adjutant Lin, standing to the side, watched anxiously. "Oh, my great general," he thought. "A man as aloof and awkward as him will never win a wife."

"Major General, Miss Luo is a young girl. Coming back so late shows a lack of safety awareness. I'll go with you to talk to her."

Lin Fu, shameless as ever, gave Xu Shaojun a way out. He knew Xu was reluctant to speak, too proud to admit it.

"Oh!"

Xu Shaojun gave a soft hum and said, "Alright, let's go see just how far she's gone astray."
