Meeting the Parents

"Where are we going now?" Chen Ze asked, looking at the traffic streaming past and the skyscrapers all around them. The Capital was far more prosperous than Hangcheng!

"To my house!" Without caring whether Chen Ze agreed, Giant Loli drove straight home.

Some time later, the two arrived in front of a villa occupying about a thousand square meters.

Looking at the lavishly decorated villa, Chen Ze asked in astonishment, "This is your house?"

"Yeah. Come on, let's go inside!" Giant Loli said.

Several servants filed out, calling in unison, "Welcome home, Second Miss!"

Giant Loli seemed to become a different person, giving a mild hum of acknowledgment.

Giant Loli held Chen Ze by the hand as he followed along in a daze. He only came to his senses when they entered the villa. "Is your mother home? Wouldn't it be rude for me to show up like this? I didn't even bring her a gift!"

Giant Loli burst out laughing. "There's no need. You've met my mom before, and she's very easygoing. Besides, both my mom and dad are home!"

By then, they had reached the villa's entrance, where several people were standing.

"Mom! Dad!" Giant Loli called sweetly and rushed over to them, leaving Chen Ze standing there awkwardly.

"My Little Yanxi is finally home! Daddy missed you to death!" The speaker was Zheng Yanxi's father, Wang Ning. He wore a short white suit jacket and a blue prince skirt embroidered with lace, his whole person radiating an air of noble elegance! A kindly smile graced his handsome face as he beamed and took Zheng Yanxi's hand.

"Hello, Auntie, Uncle!" Chen Ze greeted them politely.

"You must be Little Chen! I've heard A Hong mention you. You're so pretty!" Wang Ning said with a smile.

"You flatter me, Uncle. You're very pretty too!" Chen Ze's smile was a little stiff.

Beside them, Zheng Minhong smiled as well. "Little Chen, we meet again!"

"Yes, it's been a while, Auntie. You're as impressive as ever!" Chen Ze said.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk!" With that, Wang Ning took Chen Ze by the hand and led him inside.

"Little Chen, let me tell you, make yourself at home while you're here..." Wang Ning kept chattering away, utterly delighted with Chen Ze.

Chen Ze, meanwhile, wore a stiff smile on his face the entire time. It felt rather like meeting the parents.

"Ding~ Congratulations, host, on completing the task. You have received 5 points to add to any attribute and 5,000 Empathy Points. The rewards have been sent to the system backpack."

Just then, the system's notification sounded.

System, add all my Attribute Points to my figure, Chen Ze said silently.

"Ding~ Adding points for the host. Estimated completion time: seven days!"

Chen Ze's attribute panel had now been updated to:

After the family had lunch, Chen Ze was shown to a guest room. Giant Loli had wanted him to sleep with her, but Chen Ze had flatly refused, so she had to give up! Worn out from their journey, both fell fast asleep as soon as they lay down.

"Hello, Sister Ting, I've arrived in the Capital." Having slept for several hours during the day, Chen Ze wasn't very sleepy now, so he decided to call Zhang Ting at Tianmei Entertainment.

"Oh, you're here? Where are you now?" Zhang Ting asked.

"I'm staying at a hotel." Chen Ze lied.

"Oh, then come by the company tomorrow. I'll take care of the relevant paperwork for you. The company's address is the 54th floor of Tianmei Tower on XX Road..." Zhang Ting said.

"Okay, Sister Ting." Chen Ze silently noted down the address.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Giant Loli sneaked in.

"What are you doing?" Chen Ze asked, looking at her in amusement.

"I came to keep you company!" Giant Loli crossed the room in a few quick strides and pounced, pinning Chen Ze beneath her, blanket and all.

"Hey, that's too much!" Chen Ze protested.

"I missed you to death. Come on, give me a kiss!" Giant Loli leaned in as she spoke.

"Cut it out. Didn't you get enough kissing in the car last night?" Chen Ze pressed a hand against her forehead. If Giant Loli hadn't kept stopping and starting on the drive last night, they would have reached the Capital long ago.

"Not enough. I'll never get enough. Be good now, let me kiss you!" Giant Loli pressed forward, pinning Chen Ze to the bed. Only when he was nearly out of breath from the kissing did she finally let him go.

Giant Loli slipped under the covers with a look of satisfaction. "We're sleeping together tonight!"

"No. At least, not yet!" Chen Ze said firmly.

"Then how long do we have to wait?" Giant Loli asked unhappily.

"Don't you think we're moving too fast?" Chen Ze said.

"How is it fast? We've been together for almost half a month!" Giant Loli thought Chen Ze was too conservative.

"It's only been half a month! We're both still young. Let's wait a while before talking about it!" Chen Ze said.

"Then how long do we have to wait? I can barely hold myself back." Giant Loli stuck out her lips in a pronounced pout.

"Little Yanxi, there's something I want to ask you. Your family is in the Capital, so why did you go to school in Hangcheng?" Chen Ze deployed the great art of changing the subject.

"It's all because of that sister of mine!" Giant Loli said angrily.

"Oh, you have an older sister? Come on, tell me about her!" Chen Ze looked ready to feast on gossip, lacking only a handful of melon seeds.

"My sister and I are twins. She was only born an hour before me..." Giant Loli said bitterly, then began to tell her story.

As it turned out, the two were twins whose personalities had clashed since childhood. Zheng Yanxi was quiet and gentle and disliked competing for things, while her older sister, Zheng Yanxin, was her exact opposite. She was fiery and loved to compete and win, and she had bullied Zheng Yanxi since they were little. Whenever Zheng Yanxi had a fun toy, her sister would snatch it away.

When Zheng Yanxi was fifteen, her parents arranged a marriage for her, intending for the two to wed when they came of age.

Nobody expected that, upon finding out, Zheng Yanxin would go straight to the boy betrothed to her sister and beat him up. She beat him terribly; reportedly, several of his ribs were broken! She even confronted her parents with righteous indignation: "I'm the older sister, so why didn't you arrange a marriage for me first?"

In fact, it wasn't that Zheng Yanxi's parents hadn't wanted to arrange a marriage for Zheng Yanxin. It was because her temper was too volatile that they had chosen to arrange one for Zheng Yanxi instead.

After that, the boy's parents no longer wanted him to marry into the family, saying they were afraid he would be beaten to death in a domestic assault!

And so the marriage arrangement came to nothing.

Because of the incident, Zheng Yanxi also came to blows with her sister, and neither would back down!

Seeing the two fight every day, Zheng Yanxi's parents had no choice but to separate them, sending one to school in Hangcheng and the other to study in the Demon Capital.

"A fiancé, huh! Was he pretty?" Chen Ze teased Giant Loli.

"How would I know? I was only fifteen back then. What did I know about any of that?" Giant Loli hurriedly explained.

"Hmph!" Chen Ze snorted. "Why do I feel like something's a little off about your sister?"

"What's off?" Giant Loli asked, puzzled.

"By rights, when your sister found out you had a fiancé, she should have snatched him away from you. Instead, she went and beat the boy up. That doesn't quite add up!" As if possessed by Holmes, Chen Ze ventured a guess.

"How would I know what she was thinking? She's a lunatic!" Giant Loli thought for a moment, then added, "But she should be coming back in the next couple of days too. No, I'll take you away tomorrow!"

"Why?" Chen Ze asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid she'll go crazy again and beat you up while I'm not around!" Giant Loli couldn't sit still now. She hurriedly took out her phone and began searching through it.

"Surely she wouldn't go that far? I haven't done anything to her!" Chen Ze said in shock.

"I'm telling you, there are times when she's really not normal. Nobody knows when she might go crazy!" Giant Loli said.

"My family has another apartment near Jinglan Art Academy. I'll take you there to live tomorrow. You'll be going to school there anyway, so it's settled!" Giant Loli declared overbearingly.

"All right!" Living off a rich woman is so sweet! Chen Ze thought to himself.

"Isn't this place a bit too big? Wouldn't it be a waste for me to live here alone?" Chen Ze said in shock, looking at the large apartment before him, decorated like a suite in a five-star hotel.

"How could it be a waste? You're my husband. I told you I'd treat you well! I'll find a couple of servants to come over later. From now on, you won't have to do anything but focus on school!" Giant Loli said dotingly.

"All right, but you're going to turn me into a good-for-nothing like this!" Living off a rich woman is so sweet!

"Then you'll be a good-for-nothing, my own little good-for-nothing!" Giant Loli rattled off the cheesy line without missing a beat.

The two spent some tender time together in the apartment before Chen Ze went out. He was due to report to Tianmei Entertainment's headquarters today.
