Life is all about luxury cars, expensive watches, and whiskey—it's as carefree as you can be.

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Shen Shi's thoughts. He glanced at the contact name, Lu Yuning, and realized that Ningning was checking up on him.
As soon as Chen Shi answered the phone, Lu Yuning's bluffing voice immediately came through the microphone.
"Chen Shi, today is the first day of my art exhibition. No matter what you have to do, you have to come. If you dare to stand me up again, you're dead!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Shi's mood immediately improved. No wonder his Ningning is so cute even when she's fierce.
"Don't worry, Miss, I'll be there on time," Shen Shi said with a smile.
Shen Shi's teasing tone made Lu Yuning's heart flutter on the other end of the phone. She stammered, "Then... you hurry up..." and then hung up.
Hearing the dial tone signal the call being disconnected, Chen Shi frowned slightly. Why didn't they talk a little longer? Then he changed Lu Yuning's contact name to "Young Miss".

Shen Shi responded with an "Mmm".
Qin Zhen was delighted to hear that Shen Shi had replied to her. "Then you must come back soon. It's gotten colder lately. Are you going out for a social event? I'll ask Aunt Liu to make you some ginger soup."
"No need," Shen Shi said gently before turning and leaving.
Watching Shen Shi's departing figure, Qin Zhen in the living room murmured, "After all these years, Xiao Shi still refuses to accept me."
Hearing this, Liu Ma, who was standing nearby, said without surprise, "Madam, the young master knows your feelings!"
Qin Zhen said with a sad face, "Really? Aunt Liu, as the saying goes, harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything. Ever since I married Tianqi, I have been hoping every day that Xiaoshi can accept me as his mother."
