Xia Linyu has always been an ice queen, so even though she longs for a perfect romance, no one has ever let her have one.
Also, she has never loved anyone; it seems that no boy can get close to her heart.
Until she met Lu Zheng.
This man gave her a very different feeling. He was handsome, but he was also refined, polite, articulate, and had a sharp mind.
More importantly, he is devoted to his relationships.
Xia Linyu knew very well what kind of person she was, and she also knew what she looked like.
With such inexhaustible wealth, if she were to show even the slightest hint of a secret crush, countless men would frantically flock to her.
But Lu Zheng was completely different.
Her loyalty to Mingxiang impressed her, and of course, the more she felt this way, the stronger her special feelings for Lu Zheng became.
She didn't actually want it to be this way, but she couldn't change her mind.
However, Xia Linyu did not show it at this moment.
She is a smart person and respects Lu Zheng, so she knows what she should do.
At 11 p.m., Lu Zheng and his group returned to the city.
Mingxiang had been waiting here for quite some time.
Upon seeing Lu Zheng return, she didn't hesitate at all, ran over to him, and hugged him tightly.
Although they were only separated for a day or two, it truly felt like three autumns had passed since they last saw each other.
Watching the two of them like this, Xia Linyu couldn't help but sigh again: "The depth of your feelings for each other is truly enviable."
"Miss Xia is too kind. But with Miss Xia's exceptional beauty, her future boyfriend will be even more outstanding," Ming Xiang said with a smile.
Xia Linyu's heart skipped a beat.
She understood what Mingxiang meant by saying that.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Mingxiang. Originally, Mingxiang's agreement to let Lu Zheng go with her alone was already a great respect.
However, her father did something wrong, or rather, it wasn't really wrong. After all, she also longed for a boyfriend like that to be by her side; that would be so wonderful. Now, because of this, it's perfectly normal for Mingxiang to hint at it to her.
Xia Linyu is quite sensible; at least she knows what to say now.
So she nodded to Ming Xiang and said, "Miss Ming is right."
However, Xia Linyu has now changed her mind.
Mingxiang can get Lu Zheng, and so can she. Can't she just compete for Lu Zheng in a normal way?
"Alright, I've been preparing ingredients all day, just waiting for you to land. Now that you're back, let's go eat!"
Mingxiang smiled and pulled Lu Zheng into the car.
Xia Linyu then got into the car with them.
However, Xia Ruo arrived shortly after they landed.
But not long after Xia Ruo left the airport, another private plane circling in the air was about to land.
The person on the plane was Zhou Jiaxing's father, Zhou Heng.
Compared to Zhou Jiaxing, Zhou Heng is more sinister.
There were two servants on the private jet, the captain and co-pilot, a parachuting pilot specifically to protect Zhou Heng, and an old man.
With so many people, there should theoretically be some cheerful conversation on the plane.
Even if there were no cheerful voices, there should at least be some talking, but everyone on the plane was completely silent.
This is Zhou Heng's request.
He said he hates it when people disturb him.
Once he's on his private jet, he can't say anything except for crucial communications between the pilot and ground control.
Only when Zhou Heng speaks can the others respond.
The plane was about to land when Zhou Heng finally spoke, asking the old man beside him, "Have you notified Jiaxing and the others?"
"I've informed the boss. I just contacted the young master via WeChat call. He'll be at the terminal when we land."
Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Very good. I want to see how well my son has handled things."
Mingxiang was a daughter-in-law whom Zhou Heng also favored.
After all, nothing beats having an excellent eye for talent.
Once you have a detached perspective, money is no problem, and even power is within your grasp.
So now he really wants to know if his son has managed to win over Mingxiang.
Soon after they got off the plane, and after exiting the terminal, Zhou Heng saw his beloved son.
The father and son embraced tightly as soon as they met.
Zhou Heng said with a smile, "Jiaxing, how's your relationship with Mingxiang going? You haven't told your father anything lately, but now that your father is here, you should tell him, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiaxing's expression darkened: "Dad, the reason I didn't tell you about this before is because Mingxiang is being harassed by another man, that damn pretty boy..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng sneered: "Mingxiang is my Zhou family's daughter-in-law. Is it a joke for someone like him to try and take away my daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Jiaxing said, panting, "But Father, he's like this now, and we don't know what to do at all."
"It seems that Mingxiang has been quite deceived by him, hasn't she? It's alright, your father is here. I'll help you win her over this time. As long as my son is still interested in Mingxiang, nothing else matters."
This father and son are practically in cahoots.
In fact, Zhou Jiaxing had been waiting for his father to say those words.
They wanted to show Mingxiang the huge difference between them.
Use this to make Lu Zheng back down.
"Alright, let's put these things aside for now. Your dad is starving. Let's go get something to eat first, fill our stomachs, and then we can talk about the rest later."
Zhou Jiaxing agreed and then said, "Dad, I must say, this time I've prepared your favorite dishes for you."
"Haha, my son is the most filial."
"Alright! Come on, Dad will try the food you prepared for me."
In fact, someone of Zhou Jiaxing's status would never cook; his meals were simply pre-ordered from restaurants.
Mingxiang, on the other hand, cooked all the meals herself.
After Lu Zheng and the others returned home, Ming Xiang personally started cooking. Lu Zheng wanted to help, but Ming Xiang refused, saying that he had been running around for so long and was exhausted, and that he should rest and that she could do it herself.
Xia Linyu, standing to the side, asked in surprise, "Miss Ming is a chef?"
Mingxiang chuckled: "I started from scratch. My family was very poor. Cooking is an essential skill for us. It's not difficult at all. You can learn it after a while. If you're willing, I can teach you."
