Following that, Meng Xingzhang hit the gas pedal again, directly heading towards the Tang Family's residence.

In order to prevent Meng Xing Zhang from actually carrying out his words, Tang Xu spent the entire trip in peace. However, she didn't act extremely reserved. Instead, she acted more like a passerby as she leaned against the window, watching the scenery quickly pass by.

It was already dark. The street lamps and the neon lights in the plaza were slowly rising. This should have been a romantic night, but Tang Xu had to endure and suffer at Meng Xingzhang's side.

About 10 minutes later, he arrived at his house.

Without another word, Tang Xu opened the door and alighted from the car. Meng Xing Zhang looked at her through the window and saw her limping and walking with difficulty. He frowned slightly as he hissed.

He looked at his watch, then pushed the door open and got out of the car. Just like in the parking lot, the princess carried her up.

"Put me down, put me down!" Tang Xu immediately felt unwilling. Even though his feet hurt, he didn't want anyone to see it.

Meng Xing Zhang, on the other hand, disdained it. He held on tightly and threatened, "If you want everyone in the district to come over and watch the show, then continue shouting. I don't mind."

Tang Xu was simply speechless. When he carried her into the elevator and was about to close the door, she didn't want this bully to follow her upstairs.

In truth, Meng Xingzhang was also disdainful. He extended a hand to support the elevator and reminded, "Don't forget your promise with me. If you drag things out for one more day, you'll be able to hide from danger for one more day. Do you understand?"

"Then I also hope that you will remember your promise with me and not come and bother me again during this period!"

"Ok!" With that, Meng Xingzhang turned and left.

Only after seeing the elevator door slowly close did Tang Xu let out a sigh of relief. He felt as if Meng Xingzhang was just like air that could penetrate through anything.

After returning home, Tang Xu rested for a while on the sofa before his stomach began rumbling in protest.

What should he eat?

Tang Xu limped out and opened the fridge, only to find a box of straw mushrooms lying alone inside. He then rummaged through his locker. Fortunately, there was also a packet of spaghetti and an onion.

Tang Xu was glad that if there was nothing else, he would only be able to eat the frozen dumplings.

She remembered that the instant dumpling was bought by Pei Zi Yun the last time. He said he was worried that she was too busy at work and didn't like her stomach, but Tang Xu didn't like eating instant dumplings at all, so he had always left it on the shelf.

A year ago, he had picked up an oven and studied it for half a year. He was also able to bake some cakes and cookies that could be taken out on his own, and making an Italian dish was a piece of cake for her.

Half an hour later.

Tang Xu sat at the dining table with a plate of hot noodles, expressing his satisfaction with his life skills.

When a person was alive, the most important thing was for them to fill their stomachs. Otherwise, all their dreams and ambitions would be for nothing.

"Alright, let's eat!"

"Ding Ling, Ding Ling …"

Before Tang Xu could even move his fork, the doorbell rang. She mumbled to herself, "Who is it? It's time."

Although he was unhappy and his face was cold, he still walked over to open the door.

Seeing that it was Pei Zi Yun who was standing at the door, Tang Xu paused before shrugging his shoulders, "Eh? Why did you come? Isn't the company very busy? "

Shen Lo walked inside while raising the food in his hand. "I was afraid that you'd be unable to eat alone, so I brought you some food."

"Uh, so good?" After closing the door, Tang Xu walked over to the dining table and saw that Shen Lu was already familiar with the way out as she took out a plate and chopsticks.

Putting the packed dishes on the plate, it was as if she had made them herself. Garlic sprouts, fried chicken wings, and Grandma Red Braised Meat were all things that Tang Xu liked to eat. She looked as if she was about to drool at any moment.

"How is it? Is it okay to watch? " When Pei Zi Yun had finished discussing the matter, he asked his secretary to pack some food for him as he was afraid of getting cold. He drove very fast, and his sincerity towards Tang Xu was as clear as heaven and earth.

"En, that's good. I don't need to eat spaghetti then."

As Tang Xu said this, he moved the plate to the side, but Shen Lu took it back and held it in his hand, smelling it like a treasure. He held it up and shook his finger as he said, "You won't eat it, I'll eat it.

Shen Lu had only eaten food cooked by Tang Xu once. That time, it was him who had a fever. Tang Xu had cooked porridge. The taste of the porridge had always been on Shen Lu's mind.

The lights in the restaurant were dim and yellow, like the afterglow of the setting sun. They scattered on the side of the two people's faces, making them look extremely blissful.

Tian Shitong often said that Tang Xu had accumulated some good fortune in his previous life to be able to meet such a good man.

But unfortunately, this good man of Tang Xu's probably wouldn't be able to stay for long.

Tang Xu stared blankly at Shen Lu as he thought of this. How could she open her mouth to lower the damage dealt to Shen Lu to the minimum?

I'm afraid, no matter what you say, Shen would be injured, and I would be the culprit!

No, the culprit should be Meng Xingzhang, that man who was as evil as Satan!

If he hadn't appeared, their relationship would have gone smoothly. They would have met each other's parents, married, and given birth to a cute little baby.

But now …

"Xu'er? "Xu'er?"

Pei originally wanted to ask Tang Xu if he wanted a drink, but after seeing her in a daze and calling out to her several times, Tang Xu finally reacted and looked at her blankly.

"What are you looking at?" asked Pei.

"You look good, that's why I'm looking at you." Tang Xu withdrew his gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly curving upwards as he revealed a faint smile.

These words were said directly into Shen Lu's heart. He reached out his hand to rub Tang Xu's hair a few times, and the spoilt affection in his heart turned into seriousness.

He put down his chopsticks, coughed lightly and said, "I've already discussed it with my parents. I'll bring you to see them this Friday."

"Pfft!"

Tang Xu had just stuffed a mouthful of rice in his mouth when he heard Shen Lu's words. He almost choked and raised his head to look at Shen Lu in surprise. He swallowed his rice and asked, "This Friday?"

"Hmm, haven't you always wanted to see my parents?"

Previously, Tang Xu had said that his parents had urged them to get married and wanted to achieve success with Shen Lu. Shen Lu had taken advantage of this period of time when he was not busy, wanting to settle things between the two of them.

Tang Xu wanted to meet him, but now that there was still Meng Xingzhang, how could he possibly do anything about the two of them …

"Tang Xu? What are you thinking about? "

"Ah?" "Oh, that, when did you say?" Tang Xu took a long time to react before finally coming back to his senses. Looking at the warm smile on Shen Lu's lips, the guilt in his heart multiplied.

"I say, what's the matter with you this Friday? Always absent-minded? " As she spoke, she placed her hand on Tang Xu's forehead, mumbling to herself as she wondered if she had a fever again.

Tang Xu glanced at him, then turned his head away and replied, "Alright, since Uncle and Aunt have finally had the time, let's meet then."

Her subtext was that they would meet as soon as they saw each other. Perhaps they would not like her and would take some time to do so. If they did not, she would feel sorry for Shen Yu. After all, Shen Pei had planned this meeting for a long time.
