Xiang Zhilan composed herself, picked up her bag, went downstairs, checked the time, and said to Shen Muzhi, "Let's go."
Shen Muzhi nodded, got up and walked over, naturally going to help Xiang Zhilan carry her bag.
"No, no need." Xiang Zhilan gripped the bag strap tightly and quickly refused, "This isn't heavy."
It's considered gentlemanly and considerate for a man to carry a woman's bag, but she felt it was strange and unattractive for a man to carry a woman's bag.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Shen Muzhi withdrew his hand.
The two walked out together, and when Xiang Zhilan saw the stretch Lincoln parked in front of them, she said helplessly, "Couldn't you have eaten a little more discreetly? Did you want to scare them?"
Upon hearing her say that, Shen Muzhi asked A-Chao to go to the garage and bring another car.
A while later, a white Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV drove up, and it was indeed much more understated than the previous one.
Xiang Zhilan nodded, barely satisfied.
Shen Muzhi thought for a moment and told Achao to get out, and he would drive himself.
Xiang Zhilan sat in the passenger seat and bent down to fasten her seatbelt.
The car started and slowly drove out of the villa gate.
They arrived at the airport in about an hour and went to the arrivals area.
The timing was perfect; I saw the two elderly people pushing their suitcases towards me from afar.
Xiang Zhilan quickly went to meet her, with Shen Muzhi following behind.
When Xiang's parents saw their daughter, they immediately waved and walked over with joyful expressions.
The three met in the middle. Xiang Zhilan hugged Xiang's mother and father, and naturally took Xiang's mother's large bag and suitcase. Shen Muzhijing stood aside and took the two items from her hands.
Both of Xiang's parents looked at the handsome man standing next to their daughter.
Xiang Zhilan then remembered to introduce him and said to her parents, "Mom and Dad, this is my friend, Shen Muzhi."
Shen Muzhi frowned slightly and glanced down at Zhi Lan.
Xiang Zhilan reached behind him and tugged at him, signaling him to cooperate.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt." Shen Muzhi greeted the two politely.
"Hello, hello," Xiang's parents replied politely, while giving Xiang Zhilan a questioning look with their eyes narrowed.
"Let's go outside first." Xiang Zhilan felt that there were people coming and going and it was not convenient to talk here, so she took her mother's hand and walked outside.
Shen Muzhi was pushing a suitcase and wanted to help push Xiang's father's as well, but Xiang's father immediately said politely, "No need, I can do it myself."
Shen Muzhi did not force him and walked side by side with Xiang's father behind him.
Ahead, Xiang's mother had already asked Xiang Zhilan, "What happened? Is this the person you said saved you the other day? I think he's Xu Tingchuan's friend."
"Yes." Xiang Zhilan, arm in arm with her mother, didn't intend to hide it further, but she also didn't dare tell them that she was being forced into marriage, so she compromised by saying, "We are dating with marriage in mind."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't have that kind of relationship with him?" Xiang's mother was a little surprised. Xiang Zhilan had been very firm when she said that that day; she wasn't the type to change her mind easily.
"Isn't love always something that happens suddenly?" Xiang Zhilan explained, forcing herself to be brave.
Father Xiang was also asking Shen Muzhi some questions from behind, and although Shen Muzhi didn't say much, he answered them all.
The group walked to the airport. Shen Muzhi opened the trunk, put the luggage in, and then opened the back door for Xiang's parents. When they got in the car, he remembered to put his hand on the edge of the roof to protect their heads from bumping.
