Wu Shuang nodded, watching their backs as they left.
Zhan Rong came over and asked her with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you looking over there? If you really want to have dinner with your friends, invite them over tonight. Although I personally still want to have a candlelight dinner with you alone."
Wu Shuang immediately said, "No, they have things to do too, we can just eat by ourselves."
She was so straightforward that Mr. Zhan was amused by her.
Wu Shuang took his arm and went back with him. She looked up and asked, "Are we just the two of us tonight?"
Zhan Rong nodded and said, "Well, the old lady is here and wants to see the child. I guess she will stay there with the old lady for the next two days."
The old lady that Zhan Rong mentioned was his adoptive mother. He spoke to her with respect and intimacy, treating her like his own biological mother. Wu Shuang had heard him and the little girl talk about this many times. The little girl and Mrs. Zhan would call each other every week. The affection between them was real. This time when Mrs. Zhan returned to China, she would temporarily stay at this resort hotel. She didn't like to disturb the children's lives.
Wu Shuang was feeling excited but also a little scared. She asked in a low voice, "Does she have anything she particularly likes? I prepared something in advance, but I'm afraid it's not good enough."
Zhan Rong held her hand and kissed it on his lips, then smiled and said, "No need, she's easy to get along with, you'll know when you go there, and I've already introduced you to my mother, she's looking forward to meeting you. When the summit is over tomorrow, some friends will come over, I'll introduce you to them first, as for your father, I can wait."
Wu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him.
This is the good thing about dating older guys, as they are always considerate and attentive to the girl's feelings.
Mr. Zhan looked at the silly girl beside him and chuckled. Their circle was so small that anything would quickly reach the other party's ears. He wanted to give Wu Shuang the best, but he also liked to see her being a stubborn little ostrich. Sometimes she was contradictory and naive, which made him feel very cute.
Zhan Rong held her hand for a while, smiled and gave her a reassurance: "I'll take care of everything, you don't have to worry."

Mi Yang's sleep in the hotel is not as good as at home.
At night, he became familiar with his bed.
Bai Luochuan dragged him to take a hot spring bath, and relying on his youthful vigor, he indulged himself in some reckless activities. Mi Yang's whole body turned red from the bath, and his breathing became heavy. Young Master Bai then called off the bath, and took him back to the bedroom with a sense of reluctance.
The bed in the bedroom was very soft, and the imported mattress costing tens of thousands of dollars was very comfortable, but it still felt like something was missing.
Mi Yang was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping, but he was too conscious to fall asleep. He fumbled around a few times, but couldn't find the thing he was holding habitually. He couldn't help but turn over twice, trying to sit up gently.
As soon as he moved, Bai Luochuan woke up, hugged him in his arms and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong? Didn't you say you were tired just now?"
Mi Yang pried his hand apart and said vaguely: "No, I'll go to the living room to drink some water."
Bai Luochuan: "It's right next to the bed. I just put a cup for you."
Mi Yang uttered an "oh" but still wanted to leave.
Bai Luochuan sat up and turned on the light, looked at him and said, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me see..." He was strong and pressed Mi Yang to lift up his pajamas. Mi Yang held him back and said with a blushing face, "It's nothing. I, I just want to go to the living room."
"What are you doing in the living room?" Bai Luochuan didn't listen to him, his expression became a little nervous, "Let me see, there's nothing I haven't seen about you, we've even kissed each other, why are you so shy!"
Mi Yang pushed his face, and this time he lost even the last bit of sleepiness, and told the truth: "I'm really fine, but I can't sleep."
Bai Luochuan stopped and looked at him for a while, then suddenly realized, "You want that broken pillow? No way, Mi Yang, I'm a living person right next to you, how can I be inferior to your broken pillow? Hold me, come here, hold me tight, and I'll fall asleep in a while!"
Young Master Bai's face turned black. He would never let Mi Yang stay in the living room and insisted that he adapt to himself.
Bai Luochuan was wasting time with him. If Mi Yang didn't sleep, he wouldn't sleep either. He was competing with the broken pillow.
Mi Yang could only pretend to breathe steadily and fall asleep. After all, it was not realistic to go home to get a pillow now. It would be dawn when he got home. I don't know if it was because he was tired from exercising in the hot spring pool just now, or if he pretended to sleep too hard, but Mi Yang really fell asleep after a while.
Although I was dreaming intermittently, I slept quite soundly.
Bai Luochuan was in good physical condition and could relieve fatigue by taking a short nap. He would close his eyes and fall asleep only after the person in his arms really fell asleep.
After so many years of studying and getting used to getting up early, Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan woke up at almost the same time. They got up, washed up, and went for a run around the area.
After running, the two of them circled back to the place where they played yesterday. The court was very large, and it would take a long time to walk across a corner to the hotel. Their careers were separate, and they were busy with their own things on weekdays. Bai Luochuan rarely brought work home at night. He was busy outside all day, and when he got home, he wanted to be alone with Mi Yang and talk more about personal matters.
Just like now, Bai Luochuan was particularly willing to listen to Mi Yang talk about some things in his bookstore. Most of them were peaceful and interesting little things. Listening to them made people feel calm and the corners of their lips couldn't help but rise.
Bai Luochuan looked at Mi Yang's mouth opening and closing and felt that every word this man said was particularly nice, and even the sound of his voice seemed to be in line with his wishes. He looked around and saw that there were trees blocking the view and no one was passing by, so he pulled Mi Yang to hide behind a tree and kissed him.
One kiss was definitely not enough. When Young Master Bai wanted to kiss him a second time, Mi Yang raised his hand and covered his mouth.
Bai Luochuan was not annoyed. He raised his eyebrows, smiled and kissed the palm of his hand, showing great pampering.
When Mi Yang returned to the hotel for breakfast, his palms still seemed to be a little hot, itchy and numb.
Mi Yang met Wu Shuang and the others while having breakfast. Wu Shuang sat at the same table with him and talked to Mi Yang about today's activities. She then asked him, "Mi Yang, are you free this morning?"
Mi Yang nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Wu Shuang said, "You are such a forgetful person. Did you forget the pair of diamond earrings I won yesterday? You didn't come to pick them up last night, so I have to give them to you this morning. Otherwise, we will be busy soon and we won't see each other for a few months."
Mi Yang smiled and said, "Really? If you don't remind me, I'll forget it again."
The two of them chatted and laughed. Bai Luochuan just glanced at them and didn't take them seriously. He chatted with Zhan Rong who sat down next to him. When Mr. Zhan invited him to the evening party, Bai Luochuan was in a good mood and nodded in response: "Mr. Zhan will send an invitation, and I will definitely go on time."
Zhan Rong smiled and said, “It’s just a family dinner. You are Shuangshuang’s friends, so please come and give us your blessings.”
Bai Luochuan glanced at Wu Shuang and then at him, and said with a smile: "Then I really want to wish you all the best in advance. Mr. Zhan is so lucky. Wu Shuang is a very good girl. You will definitely be very happy in the future."
Zhan Rong raised his coffee cup and gestured slightly, unable to hide the smile on his face: "Thanks for your good words, and I wish you the best."
Wu Shuang wanted to try on a dress, so she invited Mi Yang over and wanted to give him the diamond earrings first. Bai Luochuan also had some things to do, so she let him go by himself.
Wu Shuang's room was a distance away from Mi Yang's. There was no hot spring inside, but there was a small swimming pool and the environment was quiet. After she entered the room, she looked at Mi Yang for a while, frowning. Mi Yang was puzzled by her look, touched his face, and asked carefully: "What's wrong, is there something on my face?"
Wu Shuang's expression was still serious. "I saw you and Bai Luochuan kissing on the sidelines this morning."
Mi Yang blushed.
Wu Shuang then asked: "Were you threatened?"
Mi Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said, "No, no, it's really not."
"Tell me the truth, I can help you, I can make sure you are safe now, Mi Yang, why don't you even trust me?" She was already a little anxious when she said this.
Mi Yang was grateful in his heart, but still shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, I volunteered."
"Then that girlfriend you mentioned last time..."
"No girlfriend," Mi Yang shook his head and smiled, "It's him."
Wu Shuang was stunned for a moment.
She thought for a long time before she asked tentatively, "Is this the person you told me about, the one who is prettier than me, more considerate and reliable than me, and who knows me well?"
Mi Yang rubbed the tip of his nose and imitated her tone and laughed: "I didn't expect that the man you were talking about who is much more handsome than me, literary and romantic, would be Mr. Zhan."
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and it was unknown who smiled first, and the other one followed suit.
Wu Shuang smiled for a while and then stopped immediately, her face flushed and her eyes flickered as she said, "I was wondering why he kept asking me to say those things yesterday and even asked me several times himself."
Mi Yang asked curiously: "What?"
Wu Shuang was frustrated and snorted, "What else could it be? I thought he had some improper thoughts about you, so I went to remind him that you have an exceptional 'girlfriend'. Well, after all this time, it turns out it was him. He even had the nerve to listen without saying anything."
Mi Yang could even recall in his mind the expression of Young Master Bai when he heard the flattery. There must have been a faint smile on his lips. No matter how much the flattery was, he would just raise his eyebrows and act like a gentleman, letting the other person continue to flatter.
Wu Shuang curled her lips: "He is really shameless."
Mi Yang quickly said: "No, no, it's my fault. I always wanted to introduce you to her, but something happened at home. Sorry for the late introduction."
Wu Shuang looked at him for a while, swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and said with emotion: "How come he met a good person like you? He is really lucky."
Mi Yang smiled and said, "I am. He is a very nice person. You will know him after spending more time with him."
Wu Shuang was skeptical, but she no longer planned to eat the dog food. She was the one who rushed to serve the bowl yesterday. The more she thought about it, the more full she felt.
Wu Shuang gave the diamond earrings to Mi Yang. That pair was the one she originally brought to match her clothes. However, Mi Yang had liked the same pair before, so it was okay to give them to Mi Yang, especially when she heard him say that he had met both sets of parents during the Chinese New Year. Wu Shuang was already jealous from the bottom of her heart.
She sighed softly and said, "I don't know if I'm going to have a smooth night tonight. Mi Yang, tell me, what do you usually do?"
Mi Yang: “Ah?”
Wu Shuang looked at him expectantly: "Is there any special etiquette? Or can you teach me what I can do to make my parents especially happy?"
Mi Yang: “…”
He did nothing during the Chinese New Year, but changed into a pair of sneakers, so that he could run faster and not be caught up by his father and get beaten. He looked at Miss Wu, who was expectant and shy, and thought for a while before giving her all. He only said vaguely: "Just be polite, know the situation, and have your own ideas at critical moments."
