Rebirth Must Be Happy

"If it's not too much trouble, then please come in."

Chen Xingzhu clearly didn't understand what he meant, but the literal meaning didn't affect communication. She said coquettishly, "Anyway, it's not like it's my problem."

Xu Jinhuan asked with a smile, "Where are the others?"

“My dad goes to work with Aunt Shan. Aunt Shan owns a coffee shop, and I go there occasionally; Xingruo went to sing practice.”

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "No wonder. I was thinking that I didn't have anything to hide. After all, I drive an S500, which is something I can show off anywhere, right?"

"Yes, yes,"

As Chen Xingzhu's personality changed and their relationship grew closer, she even started teasing him, saying things like, "Especially in front of the person who bought you the car, you'll feel so proud!"

"See you later."

Xu Jinhuan quickly arrived at the villa entrance. After the security guard called to let him in, he drove in and followed the directions. While searching, he saw Chen Xingzhu standing under the shade of a tree in front of the gate of a villa.

The evening sun was still intense, casting an irregular line of light and shadow on her skirt, along with the shadows of the trees. Her two long, slender legs, reflected in the sunlight, looked as smooth as jade.
The upper part of her body was hidden in the shadows of the trees. A decorative ribbon stood upright at her slender waist, making her waist appear even more delicate and thin. Her beautiful face wore a polite but aloof smile. She turned to this side and, seeing him drive over, immediately showed a surprised expression. Her bright eyes blinked gently as she waved to him.

A young man stood in front of her, seemingly trying to strike up a conversation. He glanced at the approaching car but didn't pay it any mind, continuing to speak to Chen Xingzhu: "Are you about to head out? I'm about to leave too. Where are you going? I'll give you a ride..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the Mercedes that had just driven up hadn't left, but had stopped beside him. Then the door opened, and a tall, handsome young man got out.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late."

Xu Jinhuan was wearing black trousers and a white shirt, which he had just tidied up. After getting out of the car, he stood up straight, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully to Chen Xingzhu, just like in a TV drama, "Please get in the car, Your Highness."

Chen Xingzhu blinked, then nodded slightly, and said in a cold tone, "This is the last time."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness."

Xu Jinhuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon, but his movements remained calm and unhurried. He turned around, opened the back door, raised one hand to shield the roof, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please get in the car."

Chen Xingzhu nodded slightly to the stunned young man in front of her, then bent down slightly and got into the car.

Xu Jinhuan gently closed the car door, then skillfully jogged a few steps back to the driver's seat, getting in, closing the door, and starting the car in one smooth motion.

"..."

The young man had been watching him take Chen Xingzhu away right in front of him, and he was still in a daze. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

So he continued to wander alone, bewildered in the setting sun.

"you……"

Chen Xingzhu couldn't help but burst out laughing after Xu Jinhuan got into the car. "What are you up to?"

Xu Jinhuan, with a stern face, reminded him, "Your Highness, please be mindful of your manners."

"Bah~"

Chen Xingzhu felt a surge of embarrassment as she recalled the scene, her face burning with shame, yet also finding it both novel and exciting. She playfully complained, "Luckily, when Zhizhi asked how to make a name for herself in the new class, you gave her a lot of terrible advice, otherwise I wouldn't have known what you were doing..."

"Then you still ask me?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed out loud, "How about that? My method worked pretty well, didn't it? He must think you're some kind of nobleman and feel ashamed of himself. Look, we've been walking for ages, and he's still standing there in a daze..."

"What imperial family? They know my father and they know Xingruo."

Chen Xingzhu explained, "His family also lives in this neighborhood. My dad and his dad seem to have a pretty good relationship; they've visited each other's homes before..."

"Oh, so you're family friends?"

"what do you mean?"

Chen Xingzhu scoffed and said, "If you're going to open the door, then open it and let me sit in the front. Why did you open the back door for me?"

"You are of noble birth, how can you sit in the passenger seat? It's obvious you don't understand the importance of details..."

Do you think they're stupid?

Chen Xingzhu still felt a little embarrassed and amused, thinking, "They probably think we're both not very bright..."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and typed out a description of the situation, which she then posted in the group chat.

“Our clan has lived in seclusion for many years. How could these common people understand the responsibilities Your Highness bears…”

Xu Jinhuan continued to get into character, "Where does Your Highness plan to visit?"

"You're so lucky!"

Chen Xingzhu was both amused and annoyed. "You're addicted to acting, aren't you?"

"If Your Highness wishes to visit me, then I will have no choice but to serve you wholeheartedly, even unto death."

Xu Jinhuan, with a straight face, acted like a scoundrel, "Then let's go to the hotel now." "No!"

Chen Xingzhu was both embarrassed and angry, and said reproachfully, "If you keep doing this, I won't talk to you anymore..."

Then they asked, "Where are you planning to stay?"

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Can I stay at your place?"

"Of course not."

Chen Xingzhu refused without even thinking, saying, "You're not short of money right now, go stay in a hotel."

"Sigh, in just one year, everything has changed."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "Back then, when I was penniless and almost a stranger to Xingzhu, she would still share a bowl of noodles with me. Now that I'm rolling in money, even sharing a bed with Xingzhu... no, living under the same roof has become a pipe dream..."

Chen Xingzhu ignored him and let him ramble on, her heart filled with the joy of their reunion. After he finished rambling, she said, "Let's go eat first. I know a place that serves really good roast duck."

Chen Xingzhu asked, "Aren't you having dinner with your dad and the others today?"

"No, you should rest first."

Chen Xingzhu was a little embarrassed, "There's no need to rush to meet them, they..."

"dong dong dong"

The ringing of her phone interrupted her speech. Chen Xingzhu answered the call, and Xu Jinhuan, who was in front of her, could hear Chen Xingruo's voice coming through the receiver: "Chen Xingzhu, where did you go?"

Before her sister could answer, she continued shouting like an angry little hen, "Did you secretly get kidnapped by Xu Jinhuan? Didn't we agree to wait for me to come back?"

Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why does it sound to me like she's planning to be kidnapped by me along with you?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Chen Xingzhu tapped his car seat before whispering to her sister, "He's here, so I'm going with him... Aren't you going to practice singing?"

"I already said I'd be back early today."

Chen Xingruo was still dissatisfied and complained, "You just think I'm a third wheel and want to get rid of me... I already said that I just want to use what I have on hand and I definitely won't bother you. If neither of you will let me write, how am I supposed to write? I can't exactly go out of my way to find a boyfriend, can I?"

"Why don't you watch more TV?"

"Then come back and tell me. If you don't tell me, I won't let you sleep!"

Chen Xingzhu finally managed to calm her disgruntled sister down and hung up the phone. Seeing that Xu Jinhuan was still driving forward, she quickly said, "I forgot to tell you the address. I'll give you directions."

"No need. Since you're not having dinner with your parents, why don't you come with me to meet someone first?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled and asked, "What did Xingruo just say she wanted to write?"

"Her~"

Chen Xingzhu sighed, looking both amused and helpless. "Didn't she say she was going to write lyrics last time? She didn't finish them, and lately she's been practicing singing. I don't know what she was thinking, but suddenly she said she wanted to write a novel..."

"She still has time to write novels?"

Xu Jinhuan found it somewhat amusing. "Tell me what she's writing, and I'll see if I can offer her some guidance."

"You can also direct novels?"

Chen Xingzhu clearly didn't believe her, wrinkling her nose as she said, "She said it's an online novel, the kind published on a website and you can read it on your phone... do you know that?"

"Is that even a question? I've been immersed in the literary world for so many years, what haven't I seen?"

Xu Jinhuan stopped at the red light, leaned back in his seat, and with his hands on the steering wheel, still exuded an air of domineering authority. "What 'Don't underestimate a young man'? My son Wang Teng has the potential to be an emperor!' A hundred times over! A hundred times over! Innate First Love Holy Body! Oh, and Hou Longtao and Bai Jie, they're all from online novels too..."

He knew them all like the back of his hand, and then asked, "What kind of novel does Xingruo want to write?"

"In a relationship."

Chen Xingzhu seemed a little dissatisfied and a little shy, secretly watching him from the back row. "Then she said she'd never been in a relationship before and didn't know how to write the details, so she had to come with us to record some material..."

"Oh, I see. A love historian, I get it."

Xu Jinhuan immediately understood, "So she wants to write a youth campus novel?"

"No, she said it's from another world."

Chen Xingzhu's expression was a bit strange, seemingly quite dissatisfied with her sister, and also somewhat amused and exasperated. "She said the main characters are a couple who transmigrate to another world. The guy turns into a rat, controlled by his physical instincts, wanting to mate with other rats... uh, to be together... He has to fight against this instinct. The girl turns into a cat, whose instinct is to eat the male protagonist, so she also has to fight against her instincts and can't eat her boyfriend..."

"Uh……"

Xu Jinhuan was a bit dumbfounded. He only realized the light was green when the car behind him honked at him. He quickly released the brake and exclaimed in sincere admiration, "I've been navigating the internet for decades, but my knowledge is still too shallow and narrow. I've never seen anything like Your Highness's imagination before..." (End of Chapter)
