The first thing Lu Shiyan saw was the ring in Qin Youyou’s hand and his dark eyes slowly narrowed. As expected, it was with her. Last night, the sky was dark and his rationality had been affected by the drug, so he didn’t remember the woman’s appearance. However, the ring was in her hand. So the woman last night was her?

Lu Shiyan asked, “Were you the one who asked me for help on Blackwater Street last night?”

Qin Youyou suddenly realized that Qin Miaomiao was lucky enough to meet Lu Shiyan last night. That dress was… Qin Youyou immediately came back to her senses and pretended to be bashful. “Yes… thank you for saving me last night.”

Lu Shiyan frowned. This woman didn’t say that last night. She kept calling him a bastard, a hooligan, and a beast. She even bit him a few times. There were still traces of her teeth marks on his shoulder… But no matter what, he was the one who mistreated her first.

Lu Shiyan frowned and said calmly, “I didn’t mean to bully you last night, but it has already happened, so I’ll be responsible for you.”

…

Five years later, at the Lu family’s home.

After Madam Lu looked at the photo that her subordinate had just sent her, she stood up excitedly. “Hubby, Miaomiao has returned to the country. Hurry up and inform Lu Shiyan!” She held her husband’s hand excitedly and was unable to hide the joy in her eyes. For the past five years, they had been searching for Qin Miaomiao’s whereabouts. However, after Qin Miaomiao left home, she disappeared. Every year, they would go to various countries to investigate Qin Miaomiao’s whereabouts, but they couldn’t find anything. They had been feeling uneasy, for fear that something had happened to Qin Miaomiao.

Back then, it was Qin Miaomiao’s mother and grandfather who had risked everything to save the Lu family of three from the sea of fire. However, they had perished in that sea of fire. For so many years, the Lu couple had been secretly paying attention to Qin Miaomiao. Although Qin Miaomiao didn’t like them and avoided them, the Lu couple had always treated Qin Miaomiao as family and would celebrate whenever Qin Miaomiao won an award.

Coincidentally, the sound of a car stopping came from outside the door. Lu Shiyan had just finished a meeting and walked into the living room with a frown when he saw his parents rushing to him excitedly. “Shiyan, we have something to tell you.”

Lu Shiyan’s expression darkened and he thought about it for a moment. “Coincidentally, I have something to tell you guys too.”

Madam Lu chuckled. “You can go first.”

Lu Shiyan said, “You all know about me and Qin Youyou. Five years have passed, so I’m going to bring her back to show you guys.”

Madam Lu’s smile disappeared. “Qin Youyou isn’t your girlfriend, so why should we see her? I told you long ago that we’ll only acknowledge Miaomiao as our daughter-in-law. She’s returning to the country today, so go to the airport and pick her up now!”

For the past five years, although Lu Shiyan said that he wanted to be responsible for what happened that night, his parents had always opposed it. Lu Shiyan didn’t know why, but the woman that night gave him a strong impression that he couldn’t forget even until now. However, he didn’t have that feeling when he interacted with Qin Youyou after that. Even so, he had to be responsible for what he did, and the Lu family had always repaid favors…

When Lu Shiyan saw his parents’ insistence, he felt a little helpless. Although his family wanted to repay their kindness, that young lady refused to accept it at all, let alone marry him… His parents were too naive.

Mr. Lu pulled a long face. “Lu Shiyan, what are you waiting for? Miaomiao will be here in half an hour. Your mother isn’t in good health. Are you going to make her so angry that she has to get hospitalized?”

Lu Shiyan sighed. “Alright, I’ll pick her up.” Then, he turned around and left. Just as he got into the car, Qin Youyou called. She said in a delicate voice, “Shiyan, I’m ready. When are we going to see your parents?”

Lu Shiyan said, “I have something on today. I’ll bring you over another day.”

After a while, Qin Youyou said in a quivering voice, “Shi Yan, did something urgent happen?”

Lu Shiyan said, “Yes, I’m going to the airport to pick her up.” With that, he hung up.

Qin Youyou threw her phone at the mirror angrily and the mirror instantly shattered, reflecting Qin Youyou’s ferocious face. What exactly was it that made Lu Shiyan stand her up? She had worked hard for five years and finally got the chance to go to the Lu family. Was it going to be ruined just like that? She was indignant and wanted to see who Lu Shiyan was going to pick up!

At the airport, Qin Miaomiao was walking forward in a casual outfit. She was wearing sunglasses and her skin was as fair as snow. She was very beautiful, but no one dared to approach her because she was so intimidating!
