Zheng Shuyi held the safe key, staring at Lu Jiuge with a serious expression in her smile.

Lu Jiuge was stunned by the question, paused for a moment, and then nodded solemnly.

"If that's how you understand it, that's fine too."

He held Zheng Shuyi's hand and said earnestly:

"I know the Zheng family has a deep financial foundation. You are not a money-loving person, and I have never meant to show off."

"I started from scratch, working my way up from nothing to where I am today. Every penny of Qianxing Capital is earned through my own hard work. I don't trust others to manage it!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shuyi's smile vanished, and she deliberately glared at him, scolding him playfully:

"We've known each other for so long, why have you never said these things before last night?"

"You're only entrusting me with the money now? Ultimately, you still don't trust me, right?"

Lu Jiuge did not deny it, but readily admitted it:

"Yes, we did have that concern before."

He raised his hand and patted Zheng Shuyi's head:

"But I've never distrusted you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you 10% of Qianxing Capital's shares."

Zheng Shuyi's eyes lit up, and she smiled as she pressed on:

"So now, aren't you afraid that I'll decide I don't want to be with you anymore, and that I'll take the money and the shares and run away?"

Lu Jiuge's eyes were firm as she hugged Zheng Shuyi:

"You won't."

"From the first day I met you, I knew you weren't that kind of person. If that day ever comes, I'll accept it!"

Zheng Shuyi felt a warmth in her heart, her shyness faded, and she became serious. She hugged Lu Jiuge tightly, looked up at him, and her eyes were firm.

"Ninth Brother, don't worry. I will definitely manage this money well for you and will never let you have any worries."

Lu Jiuge looked at her with eyes full of doting affection. Just as he was about to say something, his gaze fell on her flushed cheeks. Remembering what happened last night, his heart warmed, and he subconsciously lowered his head and kissed her.

After two lifetimes of ups and downs, this is the first time Lu Jiuge has truly fallen for someone.

The tenderness of last night was still fresh in his mind. Looking at Zheng Shuyi's flushed cheeks, a surge of tenderness welled up inside him. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.

"Shuyi, I really drank too much last night and blacked out. I don't remember anything. Shall we do it again?"

Zheng Shuyi's cheeks instantly flushed red, and she froze in his arms. She gently pushed against his chest and said coquettishly:

"Jiuge, you're so mean! This is the office, how can you do this!"

Forcefully breaking free from Lu Jiuge, Zheng Shuyi turned and walked out of the office:

"Let's go back to our villa in Deep Water Bay. I'm exhausted these past few days, I need to rest!"

Lu Jiuge's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed.

The two walked from the office back to Zheng Shuyi's villa in Deep Water Bay.

From day to nightfall, they were immersed in sweet affection all day long. The past barriers and restraints completely disappeared, leaving only tenderness and dependence on each other.

As evening fell, Zheng Shuyi, who was slumped in Lu Jiuge's arms, was suddenly awakened by her phone ringing, breaking the silence of the room.

She picked up her phone, saw the caller ID, and her cheeks flushed again. She quickly answered the phone.

"mom."

"Shuyi, let's go back to the old house for dinner tonight. Your grandfather and father are both here and have something to say to you."

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zheng Shuyi glanced at Lu Jiuge beside her subconsciously and answered the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she nestled against Lu Jiuge's chest and whispered:

"My mom wants me to go home for dinner tonight, do you want to come along?"

Lu Jiuge shook her head vigorously, saying "No, no" while her eyes were full of tension.

He wasn't prepared at all, and even if he was very successful in business, he was still afraid to go to the Zheng family's old house to meet his mother-in-law.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Zheng Shuyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"I'll go back by myself then. I'll give you a little more time, but not too long!"

Lu Jiuge sighed helplessly and reached out to pinch her cheek:

"Don't worry, I will find an opportunity as soon as possible to explain our relationship to your parents and grandfather."

"It's too rushed now. I need to prepare properly, buy a gift, and make a formal visit. I can't be so hasty."

Feeling sweet content after hearing Lu Jiuge's response, Zheng Shuyi pouted and teased:

"Hmph, I think you're scared!"

"I'm quite successful in business, but I'm actually a little nervous meeting your parents for the first time!"

"It's not like we've never seen this before, what are you so nervous about!"

Zheng Shuyi rolled her eyes at him, smiled, and got up to put on her clothes:

"Then I'll go back to the old house first. Don't always eat takeout tonight. I asked the housekeeper to save some soup for you. Remember to heat it up and drink it."

Zheng Shuyi packed her things, kissed him on the cheek, turned and left the villa, returning to the Zheng family's old residence in Repulse Bay.

Looking at the empty room, Lu Jiuge felt the warmth left by Zheng Shuyi still lingering on her fingertips. Exhausted, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, just as Lu Jiuge finished getting ready, the sound of the villa door opening came from outside.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Zheng Shuyi standing by the door calling out:

"Xiao Lu, get in the car, we're heading to Hong Kong Mansion. The planning meeting is about to begin."

Zheng Dongrong poked his head out and waved at him.

Lu Jiuge nodded, quickly got into the car, and sat down next to Zheng Dongrong in the back.

The car started and headed towards Hong Kong Mansion. The car was unusually quiet at first.

Not long after, Zheng Dongrong, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke:

"Xiao Lu, you're still too reckless."

Lu Jiuge turned to look at him, her face full of confusion:

"Uncle Zheng, what did I do wrong?"

Zheng Dongrong glanced at him, a smile playing on his lips, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing:

"Xiao Lu, you're incredibly bold."

"Although Shuyi is my daughter, Qianxing Capital is now valued at over 100 billion, which is more than all the assets of our Zheng family. You are handing over your entire fortune without even a word of discussion."

"Although this girl graduated from a prestigious university, she's still a bit lacking in experience when it comes to managing assets worth hundreds of billions. Are you really that confident in her?"

At this point, Zheng Dongrong paused, deliberately raising his voice slightly, clearly speaking to Zheng Wutong beside him.

"I am still the chairman of the Zheng family enterprise and I manage the entire Zheng family business. I still haven't fully grasped the family's economic power. But you, you've handed over your entire fortune to Shuyi."

Zheng Wutong, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes upon hearing this and glared coldly at Zheng Dongrong without saying a word, his eyes filled with obvious dissatisfaction.

Zheng Dongrong pretended not to see his father's look, and secretly winked at Lu Jiuge, signaling him to speak.

Lu Jiuge understood his thoughts, but didn't respond.

Given the Zheng family's background, even if he marries Zheng Shuyi, he has no chance of being involved, let alone since he is currently an outsider.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jiuge changed the subject:

"Uncle Zheng, Grandpa, there's something I want to tell you."

"Shuyi and I are officially together now. I truly love her and want to marry her and treat her well for the rest of my life."

"I entrusted all my assets to her management not out of recklessness, but because she is the person I trust most in my life. I feel most at ease entrusting everything to her."

The moment those words were spoken, the carriage fell silent.
