Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

"Nannan, thank you." Zhou Chenyu hugged Su Fengnan tightly, his chin gently brushing against her ear, his voice low and deep.

Su Fengnan was ticklish and couldn't help but groan softly, "It tickles..."

Zhou Chenyu chuckled softly and released her as instructed. He lowered his eyes to meet her shy gaze and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.

Su Fengnan was still in a daze, not even realizing how she and Zhou Chenyu had so naturally established a relationship. Happiness came too suddenly, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

After a long while, she tried to calm her pounding heart before speaking softly in a somewhat pleading tone: "Brother Zhou, could we... keep our affairs private for now?"

She lowered her head, her expression showing some trepidation, and didn't dare to look him in the eye: "I'm still a student after all. If the teacher finds out... they'll call my parents."

"Isn't that your parent?" Zhou Chenyu teased her deliberately, his eyes full of laughter. "If the teacher really wants to call my parents, I'll go."

Su Fengnan suddenly raised her head, her big eyes staring straight at him, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood in his words.

Zhou Chenyu suppressed a laugh and deliberately remained silent. Su Fengnan, getting no answer in the long run, somewhat disappointed, broke free from his grasp and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Chenyu immediately stopped joking. His little girl was serious and easily teased. He pulled her back into his arms, holding her tightly and refusing to let go: "Okay, I promise you. Your studies are the most important thing right now."

He gently reassured her, "As for making it public, you can make it public whenever you want, it's all up to you, okay?"

Su Fengnan glanced at him with satisfaction, but still tried to break free from his embrace: "Then you should rest now. It's very late, and it will be dawn soon if you don't go to sleep. I should go back to my room too."

Zhou Chenyu panicked and quickly pulled her back into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Nannan, Nan'er... are you angry?"

Su Fengnan pursed her lips and remained silent. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible, afraid that if she stayed with him any longer, she would lose control and lose her composure, and also afraid that Zhou Chenyu might lose control and things might escalate.

Although reason told her it wouldn't be that quick, sometimes you can't trust what men say.

Moreover, with such a huge explosion tonight, the relevant departments will definitely intervene, and he probably has important matters to attend to.

"Nan'er..." Zhou Chenyu was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

The way she called him "Nan'er" was so intimate that Su Fengnan felt her cheeks burning, and her heart, which had just calmed down, started pounding again. Feeling extremely embarrassed, she quickly made an excuse: "No, I'm just sleepy and want to go to sleep."

"Really?" Zhou Chenyu stepped back slightly, looking at her flushed face, he knew exactly what she was thinking.

His little girl is shy.

Zhou Chenyu's voice grew even gentler, with a hint of seduction: "Then kiss me before you leave, okay?"

Su Fengnan looked up at him, and before Zhou Chenyu could react, she quickly tiptoed and gently kissed his cheek. Then she turned around and went to open the door, wishing she could run away immediately.

Zhou Chenyu quickly pressed down on the door panel: "Wait a minute, Nan'er."

Su Fengnan was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at him. She had only one thought in her mind: I really want to escape! What should I do?

Zhou Chenyu actually wanted the girl to stay and keep him company, even if they didn't do anything. But he knew he couldn't do that, or he would scare her away.

So he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Then let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Su Fengnan nodded in response.

Zhou Chenyu then released her hand with satisfaction and let her go back.

Su Fengnan ran back to her room, overjoyed. She hid in the bathroom, looked at her flushed face in the mirror, and couldn't help but giggle.

This handsome Brother Zhou is now her boyfriend! Su Fengnan felt happy just thinking about it.

In her past life, she was old-fashioned and stubborn, always believing that if she agreed to date someone, it meant she was aiming for marriage. This caused her to miss several opportunities to leave Yan Yun, ultimately leading to a failed and painful marriage.

Now that she has a second chance, she doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes. She's not thinking about whether she and Zhou Chenyu can get married in the future; she just wants to enjoy the present and the feeling of dating the handsome guy she likes.

She will cherish this relationship and hope that it will lead to marriage in the future; if not, she will have no regrets.

On the other side, after Su Fengnan left, Zhou Chenyu's excitement gradually subsided. Although his confession was somewhat impulsive and he hadn't considered the consequences much, fortunately, the result was what he wanted.

However, on such an important day as confirming their relationship, he didn't even prepare a decent engagement gift, which was really unfair to his little girl.

What's a suitable gift to give as a token of love?

As Zhou Chenyu was pondering, Zhao Chuan called: "Boss, have you found out whose people they are?"

"We haven't found out yet, but the person has given up and revealed a name."

"Who?"

Pan Jinglian.

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to worry about the rest; I'll make other arrangements." Zhou Chenyu paused, then asked, "Were there any casualties nearby?"

"The surrounding area is fine; there are no residents living there, and everyone had already relocated, so there was almost no loss of life."

"Okay, that's settled then. You're in charge of handling things over there."

"Okay, boss."

At the same time, Pan Jinglian, who was abroad, also received news of the failure and was furious.

She paced anxiously back and forth in the living room, her emotions extremely agitated, her face filled with exasperation: "That little bastard is really lucky, he's managed to get away with it so many times! Humph, you just wait and see."

"Madam, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it." It was Lisa, the blonde assistant, who spoke. She had been with Pan Jinglian for over ten years and spoke fluent Chinese.

Pan Jinglian glared coldly at her, and Lisa quickly said, "There's a saying in China: even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Miss Wanxi is all grown up now, why not send her to that man's side?"

Pan Jinglian lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment: "Where is she now?"

"She was here just last week. She made an appointment with Miss Wanyao to attend the Robert family's dinner party tomorrow."

Pan Jinglian gave a disdainful sneer: "Very well, go and prepare a beautiful dress for her, and say that I specially prepared it for her."

"Yes, madam."

After Lisa left, a sinister smile of smug satisfaction appeared on Pan Jinglian's face: "Hmph, you little bastard, just you wait."
