I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

On the other side, inside the security guard's room at the entrance of Liujia Residential Area.

Wang Laowu smoked a cigarette while studying the notes he had taken yesterday on the table.

As he casually looked up, he saw a familiar car approaching from a distance.

Wang Laowu recognized him at a glance; this was the man who had cheated on his wife with his fellow villager yesterday.

Without a second thought, he hurriedly walked out of the security room and stood respectfully at the door.

As the vehicle approached, Wang Laowu bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.

"Hello, boss!"

The sound was deafening, like a general on an ancient battlefield challenging his troops.

Even Zhou Shi'an, who was sitting in the car, was shaken so badly that his scalp tingled.

Although I didn't understand what the security guard meant, I was in high spirits because of the happy occasion.

Zhou Shi'an lowered the car window and casually pressed the button to open the trunk.

Wang Laowu hurriedly stepped forward and asked cautiously, "God, no! Boss, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Shi'an smiled and said, "There are two cartons of cigarettes in the trunk; they're yours!"

The security guard was visibly taken aback, and then his mouth stretched into a wide grin that reached his ears.

"Thank you, boss!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran to the back of the car.

When the security guard saw the exquisitely packaged cigarette box in the trunk, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy crap! This thing's like a work of art, it must be worth a fortune!"

Without thinking twice, he quickly grabbed the two packs of cigarettes and ran to the car window.

"The boss is incredibly generous; two packs of good cigarettes warm my heart."

My heart is filled with gratitude. Wishing you prosperity and success! Thank you, boss!

After saying that, he bowed again.

Zhou Shi'an waved his hand and drove the vehicle into the residential area.

Watching the vehicle gradually disappear into the distance, Wang Laowu couldn't help but sigh:

"The captain is quite something. If it were me yesterday, I would have stopped him and tried to persuade him."

It's amazing how much of a surprise there is in treating people like gods.

Who would have thought I'd be smoking such good cigarettes in my lifetime?

He exclaimed in amazement as he excitedly walked toward the security room.

At this moment, Zhou Shi'an had already parked the car in front of the Liu family's courtyard.

However, he did not send Liu Mengyue a message, nor did he take the initiative to visit her.

He knew that girls would dress up carefully before going out, and he didn't want to spoil their mood.

As a man, what's wrong with waiting for the woman you love?

In Zhou Shi'an's view, even while waiting, every second of the air was sweet.

Little did anyone know that Liu Mengyue got up at five in the morning to dress up.

I sat on the sofa in the living room an hour ago, anxiously waiting for my sweetheart to arrive.

Liu Zhengxiong had noticed his daughter's unusual behavior long ago, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask:

"Honey, you're not thinking of going on a date with that guy later, are you?"

Liu Mengyue glanced at her phone screen and, finding no new message notifications, absentmindedly replied, "Hmm!"

"Damn it!" Liu Zhengxiong stood up abruptly.

"That brat dared to be late for my date with my daughter. Just wait until he gets here, and you'll see what I do..."

Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly.

Liu Zhengxiong stared intently at the direction of the courtyard entrance through the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Girl, look closely, isn't that handsome young man, the one who's practically glowing, Zhou Shi'an?"

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter turned their heads together and looked out the window.

When they saw the figure in white casual wear leaning against the car, both of them widened their eyes simultaneously.

"Daughter, you've struck gold! My future son-in-law used to give off such a rigid impression; I always felt he was too old."

Now with his new look, he looks like a prince straight out of a manga—he's so handsome!

Hearing her mother's words, Liu Mengyue proudly puffed out her chest.

"Of course! Don't you know whose daughter I am? How could I have bad taste in men?"

As she spoke, she quickly picked up her phone and sent a message to Zhou Shi'an:

Boyfriend, have you arrived yet?

The next moment, a message came back instantly: There's traffic on the road, take your time packing, no rush.

Seeing her boyfriend being so considerate, Liu Mengyue's smile almost stretched to her ears.

His daughter's infatuated look made Liu Zhengxiong's heart skip a beat.

"Daughter!"

Liu Mengyue looked up in confusion, and seeing her father's unusually serious expression, she quickly asked:

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"A date is fine." Liu Zhengxiong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.

"But remember this: no hotel rooms allowed, and you must be back by 8 PM."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengyue's face immediately turned red.

"Dad, what are you saying? I'm not talking to you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran towards the door.

Watching his daughter's departing figure, Liu Zhengxiong sighed deeply.

"Sigh~~~"

Li Wanqing looked at her husband with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Why are you sighing all of a sudden?"

Liu Zhengxiong looked up at the ceiling and remained silent for a full half minute.

"The little bok choy I've raised for 22 years has grown up perfectly despite my careful care."

Seeing myself about to be ruined by a pig, I felt both heartbroken and helpless!

Li Wanqing: "..."

The next moment, she grabbed Liu Zhengxiong's ear.

"Why are you pretending to be a poet in broad daylight?"

"Let me tell you, I've decided on this son-in-law. If you dare cause any more trouble, you'll see how I deal with you!"

Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts! Wife, I was wrong, please let go."

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Liu Mengyue went outside and found that Zhou Shi'an had not noticed her.

A mischievous smile crept across her face as she tiptoed toward the person behind her.

Little did she know, Zhou Shi'an had already noticed her presence.

At that moment, he was able to see the other person's adorable actions clearly through his phone screen.

As the other person drew closer, he noticed that Liu Mengyue reached out to cover her eyes.

However, the height difference between the two was too great, and it seemed that they could only hug each other's lower backs.

Zhou Shi'an smiled and squatted down in a very cooperative manner, pretending to tie his shoelaces.

Just then, a pair of warm little hands covered his eyes.

"Hey, guess who I am?"

Liu Mengyue lowered her voice, her tone slightly playful.

Zhou Shi'an's lips curled into a slight smile: "You're a thief!"

"Huh?" Liu Mengyue's eyes widened.

"You're a heart thief, no doubt about it! The one who can blind me and still melt my heart is of course my cutest girlfriend!"

Upon hearing Zhou Shi'an's answer, Liu Mengyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You scoundrel, you're the heart thief!"

As she was speaking, she wasn't paying attention and tripped over her own feet, falling to the side without realizing it.

The scene in the short drama where the male lead carries the female lead and spins her around did not occur.

Zhou Shi'an reacted very quickly. He turned around abruptly, used his left arm to block Liu Mengyue's body, and held her in mid-air.

"Silly girl, you can fall even on flat ground? Did you do it on purpose so I'd carry you?"

Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Liu Mengyue's cheeks instantly turned crimson.

"No, no, I didn't!"

The two did not notice that Liu's mother was standing in front of the living room's floor-to-ceiling window, having witnessed the entire scene that had just unfolded.

"What's so great about that brat that you and your daughter are so protective of him? Now even I'm not your favorite anymore."

Li Wanqing stared at her daughter, who was being held in Zhou Shi'an's arms with one hand, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"I don't know about other things, but he has broad chest muscles and strong arms!"

Liu Zhengxiong was startled by his wife's words, and he quickly followed her gaze to look out the window.

Liu Zhengxiong: "..."

Damn it, starting today, I'm going to exercise too!
