As they were talking, Fu Hua noticed a message from Fu Song on WeChat, and her smile instantly disappeared. She said to Fu Yuanjiang, "You should have a serious talk with Fu Song. He's already twenty-three years old and hasn't had any romantic relationships. I can't count on becoming a grandmother through him, so maybe we can hope for a grandchild from someone else."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuanjiang became instantly nervous and asked, "What happened? Did a man mistreat Xiaoya?"
Fu Hua playfully hit him, saying, "Oh, stop it! Xiaoya and Qin Huaichen are perfectly fine together. Your silly comment is making things awkward."
Fu Yuanjiang scratched his head in frustration and said, "Even if Qin Huaichen is a good person, he shouldn't mistreat our Xiaoya."
Fu Hua retorted, "When did I say anything about mistreatment? I only mentioned that Xiaoya might be with Qin Huaichen."
Fu Yuanjiang replied, "They haven't even made any progress yet, and you're already talking about grandchildren. You scared me for a moment."
Meanwhile, Fu Xiaoya was still contemplating how to cover up the lie with her mother, but Fu Hua abruptly ended the call.
Fu Xiaoya asked, "What did my mother say just now? Is she angry?"
"No, Auntie just told me to take good care of you," Qin Huaichen replied as he handed the phone back to Fu Xiaoya.
Only then did Fu Xiaoya realize that her mother had known all along that she didn't have a seriously ill friend, but instead had come to Hai City to go on a date with him. This was a major misunderstanding!
Qin Huaichen asked, "Do you have any plans now?"
"For now, let's find a place to settle down," Fu Xiaoya replied. "We can discuss the rest tomorrow."
"If you're looking to rent a place, I know a location that is close to Holy View Entertainment," Qin Huaichen suggested.
"Okay," Fu Xiaoya agreed. She had no experience in renting a place, so it would be convenient to have Qin Huaichen's knowledge and help.
Qin Huaichen walked towards a silver sports car with strong, sleek lines that exuded a sense of sleek and powerful elegance.
"This...this is..." Fu Xiaoya's voice trembled.
Qin Huaichen patted the car's body. "It's a modified version of Venom." Before he could finish his sentence, Fu Xiaoya, overwhelmed with excitement, rushed to the front of the car and eagerly touched it, displaying immense fondness. She absolutely loved this car!
Observing Fu Xiaoya's expression, Qin Huaichen secretly noted another piece of knowledge related to her—her fondness for sports cars.
Qin Huaichen handed the car keys to Fu Xiaoya. "Ready to test-drive? There won't be many people on the road at night."
"Can I?" Although she asked, Fu Xiaoya had already taken hold of the car keys. Sitting in the driver's seat, her hand trembled slightly as she touched the steering wheel. She hadn't yet calmed down from the excitement.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Qin Huaichen thought Fu Xiaoya was nervous and reassured her.
Taking a deep breath, Fu Xiaoya suppressed her excitement and slammed her foot on the accelerator!
The streetlights rapidly retreated in the roaring wind, the extreme speed causing one's soul to tremble. Fu Xiaoya's mind went blank, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.
The engine's roar echoed through the street, fortunately not disturbing any residential areas. Qin Huaichen remained fully focused, attentively watching the road ahead, prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
During a sharp turn, Fu Xiaoya didn't slow down. Instead, she stepped on the gas and zoomed past. The car screeched, drifting perfectly and landing with a loud bang, continuing its forceful journey.
In the midst of driving, Fu Xiaoya glanced at Qin Huaichen's expression, which remained calm.
Confused, Fu Xiaoya asked, "Do you really trust me that much?" She had done it intentionally earlier. When feeling danger, people instinctively react, but Qin Huaichen had shown no reaction at all.
Qin Huaichen opened the car window, his hand extending outside as he looked at Fu Xiaoya intently. "I can entrust my whole being to you, including my life."
Fu Xiaoya's playful demeanor faded away. Qin Huaichen's words carried great weight, and she didn't know how to respond.
The car continued racing on the road until Fu Xiaoya, thoroughly enjoying the drive, gradually parked by the roadside. "It's your turn to drive. I don't know the way since we're heading to see the place I'll be renting."
Qin Huaichen was about to nod when suddenly, raindrops pattered down, turning into a downpour. The sky had darkened without their notice, and the rain fell heavily.
Qin Huaichen paused for a moment, instinctively reaching to open the car door. However, at that moment, a faint fragrance wafted in—the natural scent of a girl, not a perfume but a sweet aroma.
Frozen in place, Qin Huaichen stared at Fu Xiaoya, who was getting closer to him. His heartbeat quickened.
