May 28, a clear morning with bright skies.
A McLaren GT, followed by an Aston Martin Noe77, left New York.
When they got to the intersection, the two cars pulled up in succession.
Du Wei and Alex stepped out of their cars and hugged each other.
By now, Alex had put on the necklace and spoke with reluctance, "You must be careful, and, I'll tell my parents about you."
Du Wei hummed softly, his eyes filled with complexity.
What Alex said carried weight.
Her family was not like the average one, and although her parents spoiled her and hoped she would be free to love, once they knew about his existence, it was inevitable that they would meet the parents.
Du Wei gently ruffled her hair and said, "I'll meet your parents when the time comes."
Alex suddenly smiled, "Okay… I'll be waiting for you. It might be a bit nagging, but… dear Mr. Du Wei, please make sure you're safe."
Du Wei said earnestly, "Don't worry, I definitely will."
