When Liu Xiaobao landed in Hong Kong, he kept his word and immediately called Zhou Huimin.

"Xiaomin, I've arrived in Hong Kong, just landed. Where are you?"

Hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, Zhou Huimin on the other end of the phone was clearly very happy: "I'm at the company on business right now, Mr. Bao. How about I come to the Peninsula Hotel to find you later?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and said, "You can come find me, but don't go to the Peninsula Hotel anymore. I don't live there anymore. Come find me at No. 9 in the Hilltop area when you're done with your work!"

"Number 9 in the hilltop area? Okay, I'll come find you there when I'm done, Mr. Bao, see you later!"

Zhou Huimin was clearly a little surprised by the address Liu Xiaobao gave her, but she didn't ask any further questions. After making an appointment with Liu Xiaobao, she hung up the phone.

Because he had arranged to meet with Vivian Chow, Liu Xiaobao did not go to Li Jiaxin's place, but went straight back to his mansion.

Although they stayed in Pujiang for about twenty days, Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie didn't need to tidy up their mansion in Hong Kong because there were servants to take care of it.

After putting down his luggage, taking a shower, and changing his clothes, Liu Xiaobao was about to check the Hong Kong stock market when he saw Su Jie practicing boxing on the lawn in the yard as he passed by the window.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaobao had an idea and went downstairs to the lawn.

"Su Jie, you're practicing boxing right after getting off the plane, aren't you tired?"

Although he heard Liu Xiaobao's words, Su Jie did not stop. He just kept punching and replied to Liu Xiaobao.

“Mr. Bao, you don’t know, we martial artists love to practice our boxing in this natural environment. Before, whether I was with you in the Huangpu River or at the Peninsula Hotel, I was extremely stifled. It was only here that I could feel a little more relaxed. Now that I’ve finally come here, I won’t feel comfortable unless I practice a couple of sets of boxing.”

Liu Xiaobao was not a martial artist, so he couldn't understand why martial artists had this kind of hobby.

However, after hearing Su Jie's words, Liu Xiaobao understood one thing: Su Jie had never left his side to find a place to practice martial arts in order to protect him.

Having figured this out, Liu Xiaobao immediately spoke to Su Jie in an apologetic tone.

"I'm sorry, Su Jie, having you around me means you don't even have a good place to practice your boxing."

Sensing the apology in Liu Xiaobao's words, Su Jie stopped punching.

"Boss Bao, it's alright. With my skill level, I don't really need to practice boxing every day. It's good to exercise indoors too!"

Liu Xiaobao understood that Su Jie was trying to comfort him, but he kept it to himself and didn't say anything more apologetic. He just smiled and asked Su Jie, "Su Jie, is there any quick way for me to become an expert?"

Su Jie asked in surprise, "President Bao, you also want to learn martial arts?"

Liu Xiaobao laughed and said, "Yeah, I thought it was so cool when I saw you beating people up, so I wondered if I could become as good as you. But let me make it clear beforehand, I can't stand hardship and I don't have the patience to practice for decades. If there's a shortcut, I can try it, but if it requires me to practice hard day after day, then forget it."

Su Jie did not look down on Liu Xiaobao's laziness in practicing martial arts.

Su Jie had been following Liu Xiaobao for some time, so he naturally knew what Liu Xiaobao was like. It was simply impossible to get Liu Xiaobao to practice martial arts diligently.

So Su Jie didn't look down on Liu Xiaobao for not being able to endure hardship; he just thought about it seriously before answering Liu Xiaobao.

"Mr. Bao, there are ways to achieve quick results, but it's almost impossible!"

Liu Xiaobao wasn't intimidated by Su Jie's words. On the contrary, upon hearing that there really was a quick way to achieve it, he immediately became interested: "Su Jie, tell me quickly, how can I achieve it?"

Su Jie answered truthfully without hesitation.

"Several conditions need to be met simultaneously. First, you need a martial arts master to impart your skills to you. Second, you need a medical master who knows the art of transferring qi to assist you. Third, you need several famous medicinal herbs that are over a thousand years old. Fourth, you need to find a place with a dragon vein full of spiritual energy. Only when all four conditions are met can someone quickly become a martial arts master. Of these four conditions, only the third and fourth are relatively easy to achieve, but the first and second conditions are really difficult to meet, almost impossible."

Liu Xiaobao asked curiously, "Isn't it just finding two people? Why do you say it's impossible?"

Su Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"President Bao, you don't know, this is not as simple as just finding two people. First, let's talk about finding a martial arts master (Wang Le Zhao) to pass on his skills. It has to be a master who has cultivated internal strength. All such masters have practiced martial arts for decades. Who would be willing to give their skills to others? Then there's the medical master who knows the art of transferring qi, which is even more difficult. It is said that there hasn't been such a medical master for nearly a hundred years. Even if there are still such medical masters in the world, no one really knows. I personally guess that the art of transferring qi may have been lost."

After hearing what Su Jie said, Liu Xiaobao really felt a little hopeless.

If something exists in the world, we can try to get it. But if something doesn't exist, where can we get it?

So after hearing Su Jie's words, Liu Xiaobao's dream of becoming a martial arts master was shattered.

Fortunately, he still has a master like Su Jie by his side, so Liu Xiaobao is quite content.

"Alright, what's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced. Since there's no hope, I won't force it. Okay, Su Jie, since you feel comfortable practicing here, then practice a little longer. I'm going inside."

As evening fell, the doorbell of the mansion rang.

Liu Xiaobao didn't let the servant open the door; he opened it himself.

Sure enough, standing outside the gate was none other than Zhou Huimin, the 'pre-arranged wife' whom I hadn't seen for over a month.

Today, Vivian Chow wore a white dress. She already had a pure and innocent look, and now she looked like a fairy.

When Vivian Chow saw Lau Siu-bo, she smiled and greeted him, "Mr. Bo, it's been a long time."

When Vivian Chow smiled like that, Liu Xiaobao was stunned.

Liu Xiaobao was stunned for a good ten seconds before he came to his senses.

"Xiaomin, you've finally arrived! Please come in!"

Zhou Huimin nodded, then stepped through the door.

As they entered the mansion and looked around the garden, Zhou Huimin asked Liu Xiaobao beside her, "Mr. Bao, is this your new home in Hong Kong?"

"Yes, staying in a hotel is convenient, but it never feels like home. So I bought this house, so I have a place to stay in Hong Kong. Xiaomin, you are welcome to come anytime you want to visit!"

Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Bao is so talented, I will definitely have to bother you often in the future. Mr. Bao mustn't complain that I come too often!"

Liu Xiaobao casually replied, "How could that be? I'd love for 627 Xiaomin to live here permanently!"

Zhou Huimin blushed at Liu Xiaobao's unexpected remark, and quickly changed the subject, urging Liu Xiaobao to hurry up.

"Boss Bao, let's hurry up and write the song. By the way, have you got any inspiration yet?"

Actually, Liu Xiaobao realized that what he said earlier was a bit inappropriate. It wasn't a big deal that he inadvertently revealed his inner thoughts, but he was worried that Zhou Huimin would misunderstand him as a frivolous playboy.

Upon hearing Zhou Huimin change the subject, Liu Xiaobao didn't continue the conversation and instead answered in the same manner.

"I didn't have any inspiration before, but after seeing you, Xiaomin, the inspiration came right away. Come on, let's go inside. Same as always, I'll hum the tune and you write down the score!"

Vivian Chow said happily, "Okay, no problem, Mr. Bao, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Zhou Huimin's words made Liu Xiaobao's mind wander.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaobao hadn't completely lost his mind; he simply warmly welcomed Zhou Huimin into the mansion.

All Zhou Huimin wanted to hear Liu Xiaobao's new song was now. She had no interest in admiring Liu Xiaobao's mansion anymore. She immediately took out paper and pen from her bag and prepared herself.

Seeing Zhou Huimin's posture, Liu Xiaobao (abcj) smiled slightly: "Xiaomin, wait a moment, it's already dinner time, let's eat first and then start!"

Zhou Huimin said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bao. I was so focused on hearing your new song that I forgot you just came from Pujiang. You must be hungry."

"It's nothing, Xiaomin, the food will be ready soon, let's eat first!"

"Well, Mr. Bao, then I'll be bothering you!"

After Liu Xiaobao gave a greeting, the servants quickly brought the food to the table.

Su Jie didn't stand in the way of a third wheel and wisely went to the kitchen to eat.

Only Liu Xiaobao and Zhou Huimin dined together at the table.

Zhou Huimin and Liu Xiaobao had eaten together several times before, so she didn't feel awkward at all, and the two enjoyed their dinner together.

After dinner, Liu Xiaobao rested for about half an hour. He didn't deliberately delay any longer and took Zhou Huimin to his study on the second floor. After pretending to be deep in thought, he sang two songs for Zhou Huimin.

One is "Unfortunately I'm an Aquarius" released by Miriam Yeung in 2003, and the other is "Big City, Small Love" released by Miriam Yeung in 2004.

By the time the scores for both songs were finished, it was already 11 p.m.

Liu Xiaobao originally thought that Zhou Huimin would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, Zhou Huimin was so happy that she once again practiced the two songs on the spot.

Liu Xiaobao didn't remind Zhou Huimin of the time; he simply sat opposite her and quietly watched her.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao could only describe Zhou Huimin with eight words: beautiful, sweet-voiced, and with a voice like heavenly music!

He was completely mesmerized!

At this moment, in Liu Xiaobao's study, although it was only him and Zhou Huimin, Liu Xiaobao did not have any improper thoughts. He simply watched Zhou Huimin, who was engrossed in practicing her singing.

It wasn't until 2 a.m. that Zhou Huimin, perhaps because her throat was dry, wanted to drink some water to moisten it, which brought her back to her senses.

When Zhou Huimin came to her senses, she noticed that Liu Xiaobao was staring at her, and her pretty face flushed red.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Bao, I forget everything as soon as I see my favorite song. I hope you don't find this funny!"

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao handed Zhou Huimin a glass of water: "It's nothing. Actually, I should thank you. I really enjoy watching you sing with such focus. It's a feast for both my eyes and ears that you practice singing in front of me!"

Vivian Chow's pretty face flushed slightly again, but she didn't reply.

Instead, after taking the water Liu Xiaobao handed her, she took a sip to moisten her throat, and then Zhou Huimin suddenly noticed the wall clock and exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh! It's already so late, Mr. Bao, I should head back!"

Liu Xiaobao did not make any excuse to let Zhou Huimin stay overnight at his place.

In Liu Xiaobao's mind, Zhou Huimin was not a woman he would only play with for one night, but rather the wife he had chosen for himself. Before he officially pursued Zhou Huimin, he wanted to leave her with a good image of a gentleman.

So when Liu Xiaobao heard that Zhou Huimin was leaving, he simply nodded and then had Su Jie drive him home personally.

Because it was late, Liu Xiaobao didn't just drop Zhou Huimin off at the entrance of the residential area this time, but took her to her doorstep. He didn't leave until he saw her safely enter her house.

What Liu Xiaobao didn't know was that just as he was telling Su Jie to turn the car around and leave, Zhou Huimin was watching his car through her own window.

Watching Liu Xiaobao's car drive away, Zhou Huimin smiled slightly and murmured, "He really is a gentleman!"
