Chen Xu was somewhat apprehensive, and said, "It's just that it's not too fast. Your three-month probation period hasn't ended yet. I remember that there are still twenty-three days left."

"Are you thinking about these things all day long?" Luo Xiyun's voice sounded a little embarrassed and annoyed on the other end of the phone.

"Don't you want to? Last time in my office..."

"Don't talk about that—" the voice on the phone was a little exasperated, "It was you who was doing the bad things that time."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Chen Xu said, trying hard to hold back his laughter. He was afraid that she would really get angry, so he quickly asked about the matter, "What time is it tonight?"

After two seconds, she said, "Eight o'clock. You should dress more formally. My dad prefers mature and stable clothes." She reminded him at the end.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

"See you tonight, then."

"See you tonight."

After Chen Xu hung up the phone, the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at the screen, feeling somewhat uneasy for some reason.

Is it a bit too fast?

She has already met his parents, and now he is going to meet her father. Even if they have met the parents, their relationship is completely settled.

His original plan was to wait a year or two, until his career had started to improve, before moving to this step.

But when she offered to go see her father, he simply couldn't bear to refuse.

Last month, she took the initiative to ask him to go home with her, spent so much time and effort, bought so many gifts, and tried hard to get along well with his parents.

If it wasn't for him, why would she try to please a group of people who had nothing to do with her? A woman who was willing to do this for him was more precious to him than anything else.

Plus for some reason, deep down in his heart, he felt guilty towards her, which made it even harder to refuse.

Soon, his worry became, what gift should I bring when I meet my future father-in-law for the first time? After much thought, he called Lao Tang. Among the people he knew, only Lao Tang could give him some advice.

"Meet your future father-in-law?" Old Tang sounded a little surprised. "So soon?"

Chen Xu said, "Well, she took the initiative to bring it up. I just wanted to ask what gift to give her."

"Chen Xu, do you know who Ms. Luo's father is?" Old Tang's voice was a little solemn.

"I haven't asked her." Chen Xu didn't want to ask before because he didn't want to put too much pressure on himself. Now it would be inappropriate not to ask, "Do you know?"

Old Tang sighed and said, "You should know that behind Wanhua Company is the Tianluo Group. The group's president is named Luo Zhenghai. According to rumors, he is Mr. Luo's biological father."

Chen Xu took a deep breath when he heard this. To be honest, he had suspected that it was the group's boss before, but Tianluo Group was a family business, and there were many people with the surname Luo among the senior management. He had been hoping for the best, thinking it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

As it turned out, it was such a coincidence.

The Tianluo Group is not well-known in the outside world because it is relatively low-key. In terms of assets, it is no worse than any real estate company. It is unknown how much the office buildings in the city center are worth.

A company like Wanhua, with assets worth billions, is just one of the many subsidiaries of Tianluo Group.

This is a true business tycoon, whose net worth is conservatively estimated to be tens of billions. In addition, he controls a behemoth like the Tianluo Group, and his influence is immeasurable.

It is definitely an existence that he can only look up to now.

Now, he has slept with someone's daughter. He is going to visit her tonight, and it is impossible to say that he is not stressed.

Old Tang consoled him on the other end of the phone, "Don't think too much. Since Mr. Luo has decided to take you to meet her father, he must be confident that he won't object."

After hearing what he said, Chen Xu felt relieved and said, "What gift do you think I should bring?"

"I think you don't need to deliberately give something too expensive, but of course you can't give something too casual, as long as you can show your love."

After hearing his suggestion, Chen Xu felt a little more confident and said, "Okay, I'll think about it. You go ahead and get busy."

After hanging up the phone, he started thinking seriously.

Old Tang is right. People like Luo Zhenghai are well-informed and have seen everything. There is no need to pretend to be rich. Just give a suitable gift. The same goes for clothes. You don't need to pursue famous brands. Just wear clothes that suit your status.

Gradually, an idea came into his mind.

…………

Tianluo Group headquarters, chairman's office.

Luo Zhenghai was sitting on a chair, wearing glasses, and looking at a document. Beside him, there was a man and a woman standing, looking nervous and as if they dared not breathe a word.

In the huge office, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with only the sound of turning pages.

After a while, Luo Zhenghai took off his glasses, looked at the two of them, and said, "This plan..."

Buzz buzz buzz...

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated, interrupting his words, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. The two people next to him began to sweat on their foreheads.

"Yes." The two responded and turned to leave. Although they were curious about who called, they didn't even dare to look at it. They were very careful when closing the door and didn't make any sound.

Luo Zhenghai picked up the phone, a smile appeared on his face, and his voice was very gentle, "Xiyun, this is the first time you took the initiative to call me."

"Are you free tonight?"

"Let me ask you something." He covered the phone with his hand, called his secretary on the landline, and said, "Cancel my schedule tonight."

"Yes, Mr. Luo."

He let go of her hand and said, "I have time tonight."

"I, I want to bring someone to see you."

Luo Zhenghai was slightly startled, his brows slightly wrinkled, and his tone did not change, "Let me guess, it's my boyfriend? I wonder which brat is so lucky."

"You don't know him. I think you should meet him."

Luo Zhenghai's brows relaxed, and he smiled with some relief, saying, "Then I want to see what kind of boy can make my daughter fall in love with him. If he is not good enough, I will not agree."

"In my mind, he's better than anyone else."

"Then I won't know until I see it."

"You can't scare him on purpose."

Luo Zhenghai was somewhat helpless. "You, you've only known him for a short time, and yet you're so biased towards him. As a man, you can't be too concerned about him. You have to give him a knock from time to time, otherwise his heart will become wild."

"If you're like that, I won't bring him to see you."

"Okay, okay, I won't scare him, okay?"

"Then, I'll take him home at eight o'clock tonight."

Luo Zhenghai's face looked better and he said, "You are finally willing to go home. Even if it is for a man, I am happy. Okay, then I will ask your brother and sister to come back."

"……good."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhenghai thought for a moment and called Liu Kun, but the call was not connected. He then called the secretary on the landline and asked, "Ask about Liu Kun's schedule."

After a while, the secretary replied that Liu Kun had gone abroad and was still on the plane.

So he gave up the idea. Anyway, he could see the person in the evening.

He dialed another number, "Tonight, let Xiaoyu and Xiaoning go home. Xiyun will bring her boyfriend over, and we will have dinner together."

…………

Night falls.

In the rented house, Chen Xu took a shower in advance, put on his best clothes, walked to the mirror and started to tidy himself up.

With a click, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside and Luo Xiyun walked in.

"You're here."

Chen Xu didn't need to turn his head to know it was her. Only she had the key here. Chen Ziqi returned to her home half a month ago, saying that she didn't want to eat dog food every day.

He turned to face her and asked, "How about you help me?"

Luo Xiyun put down the bag in her hand, stepped forward to help him pull up his collar and sleeves, stepped back, looked at him, nodded, and said, "Very good."

Chen Xu picked up a gift bag from the table and said, "This is the gift I prepared for your dad. My cousin sent it last month. It's wild camellia."

Luo Xiyun nodded, glanced at the time, and said, "Sit still, I'll help you dry your hair." Then he took out a hair dryer from the drawer.

Chen Xu sat in front of the mirror, feeling the hot air blowing on his head amid the noise of the hair dryer and her gentle hands playing with his hair.

Through the mirror, he looked at her focused face, unwilling to look away.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xiyun felt his gaze, glanced at him quickly through the mirror, and asked.

"I want to kiss you."

"Don't make trouble, I just put on lipstick."

"I don't care, I want it."

Luo Xiyun looked at him again, turned the hair dryer away, and leaned down.

“Hmm—”
