Regarding the Liang Family's proposal, Zhu Xiaoyue was a thousand times against it, but her father was determined to marry her off to Liang Wenshuo.

After thinking all day, Zhu Xiaoyue finally came up with a plan.

Act first, report later!

She decided to bring Li Xiaoyao home to meet her parents!

No matter whether they agreed or not, Zhu Xiaoyue was going to make her stance clear—she had a man she liked, and that man was Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao was indeed somewhat surprised, astonished by Zhu Xiaoyue's decisiveness— he had never imagined she would make such a bold decision.

However, Li Xiaoyao wasn't too concerned; meeting the parents was just another event.

Li Xiaoyao's aim was the stars and the sea—armed with the System, his life was destined to be extraordinary.

As a legendary figure, having a few close female friends was normal.

Li Xiaoyao picked up his car keys and was about to leave when the phone rang again.

This time, it was Ye Qinglian calling.

Li Xiaoyao answered the phone and asked, "Miss Ye, what's the matter?"

"Where do you live?" Ye Qinglian asked for Li Xiaoyao's address again.

Li Xiaoyao sighed helplessly and said, "Miss Ye, I have to go out right now. If there's something, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, accompany me to meet someone," Ye Qinglian said. "For now, tell me where you live. I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Meet who?"

"You'll know tomorrow," Ye Qinglian urged. "Where do you live?"

Although he wasn't clear about what was wrong with this woman, Li Xiaoyao still said, "Classic Home. Call me when you get there."

"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the community."

After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao didn't concern himself with it. He went to the door of Jiang Lichun's room.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Creak!"

The door automatically opened.

Li Xiaoyao saw Jiang Lichun sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing breathing exercises, and said, "I'm stepping out for a bit, I'll be back tonight."

"Bang!"

The door closed.

Li Xiaoyao rubbed his molars, turned around, and left.

...

After work, Zhu Xiaoyue changed into casual clothes and stood outside the police station waiting for Li Xiaoyao.

Her BMW had been towed back from Zhangshan County and sent to a service shop for repairs, which would take some time.

A black Land Rover drove up. Zhu Xiaoyue didn't pay much attention to it at first, until the car stopped in front of her. Then she saw that the person in the car was none other than Li Xiaoyao.

"When did you buy a car?"

Zhu Xiaoyue had a small surprise—she had looked up Li Xiaoyao's information and knew he worked as a bodyguard for the director at Pan-Blue Company.

Li Xiaoyao got out of the car and gentlemanly opened the door for her, making a welcoming gesture and said, "Beautiful miss, please get in."

Zhu Xiaoyue held her head high, like a proud swan, handed her right hand to Li Xiaoyao, stepped on the car's running board, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Where is your home?"

Li Xiaoyao asked as he got back into the car.

Zhu Xiaoyue gave him an address, and Li Xiaoyao started the car.

"You haven't told me yet, when did you buy this car?"

"I figured it was really inconvenient not having a car for transport, so since I was free this afternoon, I just went out and bought one," Li Xiaoyao said with a tone as casual as if he were choosing cabbages.

"This car isn't bad, it's very safe, and if you remove the back seat, you can fit an air mattress, so we can even save money on hotels in the future."

Zhu Xiaoyue fluttered her small fists and with cheeks flushed with a rosy glow, she said, "You big jerk, if you say that again, I'll hit you."

Li Xiaoyao chuckled lightly, his eyes drifting toward her full bosom as he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is your shoulder healed yet?"

"No, the doctor said it takes a hundred days to heal from bone and muscle injuries, so it'll be another two months before I'm better. If you're thinking of doing something bad, just wait." Zhu Xiaoyue had an I-know-what-you're-up-to expression on her face.

Li Xiaoyao shrugged his shoulders and said, "No worries, I can wait."

Zhu Xiaoyue changed the subject, asking, "Aren't you the bodyguard for your chairman? How can you afford such an expensive car?"

Li Xiaoyao simply said, "Director Lan gave me a five million annual salary."

Zhu Xiaoyue's lips parted slightly, looking at Li Xiaoyao in disbelief.

A bodyguard with a five million annual salary?

"Xiaoyao, is everything you said true?" Zhu Xiaoyue found it hard to believe a bodyguard could earn such a high annual salary.

"Mhmm."

The car kept driving, and today the road was very cooperative, without any signs of a traffic jam.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Zhu Xiaoyue's house.

The Zhu Family lived in a villa, in the wealthy district of Drum Tower.

The price per square of these villas was at least thirty thousand.

Li Xiaoyao knew that Zhu Xiaoyue's family was well-off, but he was still surprised when he saw the villa.

The Zhu Family wealth was at least several tens of millions. With such wealth, why would she still become a police officer?

Could it be that Zhu Xiaoyue's sense of justice was overwhelming, compelling her to catch criminals as a police officer?

Inside the villa, Zhu Haishan sat on the sofa in casual home attire, watching the evening news.

"Haishan, don't be so stern; your daughter is bringing her boyfriend home later," said the woman who was Zhu Xiaoyue's mother.

"Hmph, I never agreed to it," Zhu Haishan grumbled, adding, "What's wrong with Liang Wenshuo? What on earth is going on in that girl's head? Why can't she see what a good catch he is?"

Zhu's mother gently patted his arm, saying, "Haishan, I have to say, what era are we living in? It's no longer all about parental decree and matchmaker's words. Xiaoyue is a girl with her own opinions; she knows what she likes. Besides, I don't fancy Liang Wenshuo either. That boy always seems a bit frivolous, not mature enough."

Zhu Haishan waved his hand impatiently, lighting up a cigarette as he said, "Alright, alright, stop nagging me. Go make the food."

Zhu's mother's eyebrows knitted in displeasure as she said, "Are you getting angry with me now?"

Any hardness Zhu Haishan had in his demeanor instantly wilted as he spoke in a more placating tone, "Not at all, I was wrong."

"That's more like it," Zhu's mother huffed, continuing, "When Xiaoyue and her boyfriend get here, don't you dare put on that cadaverous face."

With that, Zhu's mother turned and headed into the kitchen to cook.

Sometime later, the sound of the door opening could be heard.

Zhu Xiaoyue fetched a pair of slippers for Li Xiaoyao from the shoe cabinet. They changed shoes and walked into the living room.

Along the way, Zhu Xiaoyue whispered a reminder, "My dad's a police officer, he doesn't like it when boys hem and haw. If he asks you something, just speak up, it's okay to be wrong, but never lie."

Seeing her so nervous, Li Xiaoyao felt amused and said softly, "I got it, don't worry."

Zhu Xiaoyue couldn't feel reassured if she wanted to, but there was nothing she could do about her worries now.

As they entered the living room, Zhu Xiaoyue called out, "Dad, I'm back."

"Mhm," Zhu Haishan responded indifferently, without even lifting his head.

Zhu Xiaoyue felt a tad angry but still suppressed her displeasure, saying, "This is Li Xiaoyao; you've met before."

Li Xiaoyao also greeted respectfully, "Uncle Zhu, hello."

"Mhm," Zhu Haishan's tone remained lukewarm.

Zhu Xiaoyue couldn't hold back any longer, her voice strained with clear anger, "Dad, this is my boyfriend, Li Xiaoyao!"

Zhu Haishan snorted, "Your dad's not deaf, I can hear you."

Just as the father and daughter seemed about to argue, Zhu's mother emerged from the kitchen.
