Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Suguang was the one who drove when he went out with Lin Shanchu.

Now that Lin Suguang could not drive due to drunkenness, he could only ask Li MO to take them home.

The sensible Li MO moved Lin Suguang, who was so drunk that he insisted on walking in a straight line, onto the passenger seat.

Lin Suguang lost consciousness right after lowering the seat and buckling the seatbelt.

Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were sitting in the rear seat.

Huo Xunzhou leaned lazily against Lin Shanchu and squinted slightly, looking a little tired.

It was quiet and harmonious in the car.

When they arrived at Lin Shanchu’s house, Li MO helped Lin Suguang out of the car.

Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the car.

Huo Xunzhou was still leaning against her shoulder without moving an inch.

Lin Shanchu nudged him and said, “Drop the act already. Li MO and my uncle have gotten out of the car.”

Huo Xunzhou slowly opened his eyes and his voice sounded sleepy.

“I’m a little sleepy.”

Lin Shanchu patted his head and said, “Go back and rest early. Tomorrow is Monday. You should report for duty at Huo Corporation. Do you want me to pick you up from work?”

Huo Xunzhou suddenly straightened up with sparkling eyes.

However, he quickly shook his head and said, “Accompany your uncle since he rarely comes back.”

Lin Suguang was a landscape photographer and spent most of his time in the wilderness. Lin Shanchu was also busy with work, so they did not have much time together.

“Alright then.” It was rare for Huo Xunzhou to be so magnanimous.

It was early in the morning.

Right after Lin Shanchu heated up the breakfast, Lin Suguang walked into the dining room while scratching his head.

“Shanshan, how did I get back last night?” He thought about it for a long time, but he could only remember that Huo Xunzhou lay down first. As for what happened after that, he could not remember at all.

“Li MO drove us home,” Lin Shanchu said as she placed a bowl of hangover soup in front of him.

“Oh,” Lin Suguang replied.

After he finished drinking the hangover soup, he stared at Lin Shanchu with a complicated expression.

Lin Shanchu asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Suguang said seriously, “Huo Xunzhou has a terrible alcohol tolerance. Do you want to reconsider him?”

Lin Shanchu was pretty, smart, gentle and virtuous. He always felt that it was a bargain for that fool, Huo Xunzhou, that fool.

After looking at him for a moment, Lin Shanchu exposed him. “You can’t bear to part with me, can you?”

“No way.” Lin Suguang immediately denied it and lowered his head to eat breakfast.

After a while, Lin Suguang raised his head and asked her, “When do you plan to hold the wedding?”

“I don’t know. I think we should get our marriage certificate first.”

Lin Shanchu turned to look out the window.

It was already late winter and everything was bleak.

“It’s almost the end of the year. We can’t leave this year’s matters for next year.”

Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and looked back at Lin Suguang. “Uncle, what do you think?”

Lin Suguang could not understand Lin Shanchu at this moment. There were emotions hidden in her eyes that he could not see clearly.

The girl in front of him was the obedient and beautiful niece in his memory, but not quite.

Lin Suguang put down the chopsticks and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Someone owes me a debt.” Lin Shanchu smiled, looking especially happy.

Lin Suguang did not understand why she was happy when someone owed her money.

“The debt for this year shouldn’t be carried forwad to the next year. Go get it back, or I can help you get it.” The Lin family’s ancestors were businessmen who were particular about not carrying debts forward to the next year, so they would go around urging for payment at the end of the year.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and said, “Then I’ll go collect the debt tomorrow.”

Lin Suguang replied, “Alright.”

At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from outside.

“He Xiang probably came back.” Just as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, He Xiang’s voice was heard.

“Sister Lin, I’m back.”

He Xiang walked in while carrying bags.

Seeing this, Lin Suguang stood up to help carry the things.

He Xiang greeted him politely. “Good morning, Uncle.”

Lin Shanchu and Lin Suguang came back late last night and woke up late in the morning. He Xiang, who woke up early, made breakfast and ate by herself before going out to do shopping.

By the time He Xiang put down her things and came out, Lin Shanchu and Lin Suguang also finished their breakfast.

He Xiang came over to help clean up the cutlery.

“By the way, Sister Lin, the paparazzi took photos of you and your uncle when you went out yesterday, but Brother Qi is already making arrangements for clarification.”

“We were photographed?” Lin Shanchu thought for a moment before she continued, “There’s no need to rush for clarification.”

He Xiang replied, “Huh?”

“I’ll give Brother Qi a call.” Lin Shanchu stood up to get her phone.

She first called Qi Cheng and said that there was no need to clarify the matter for the time being. Then, she went online to read the news.

The first thing Lin Shanchu saw was not the news of her and Lin Suguang

being photographed, but the news about Huo Xunzhou.

“Huo Xunzhou appeared at Huo Corporation with his father, Huo Zhuxiu, and may inherit the family business…”

In the business news section, Huo Xunzhou and Huo Zhuxiu were seen entering the building of Huo Corporation together.

Although it was business news, the number of comments and views were impressive because the main character was Huo Xunzhou.

The comments section:

[Huo Xunzhou left the entertainment industry just to go home and inherit the family business.]

[I heard from Informed sources in Capital City that Huo Xunzhou’s father doesn’t pay much attention to him. It seems to be all rumors.]

[I heard that Huo Zhuxiu only has one son. If he doesn’t pass the family business to his son, who else can he pass it to?]

[Tsk- It’s not that easy to be the daughter-in-law of a rich family. The trending topic about the breakup won’t be far away.]

[Even if Huo Xunzhou’s relationship with that person is real, will his father agree?]

[That’s right. Wealthy families are most particular about well-matched families.]

Lin Shanchu tapped on the comments section because she wanted to see the netizens praising Huo Xunzhou’s handsomeness.

As a result, most of them commented that she was going to be dumped.

It was different from the fans wanting her to break up.

Although her fans were a little willful, they really liked her as a person. They had nothing against Huo Xunzhou, but they set a high standard for her and always felt that she should stay single.

They hoped that she would break up, but they also wished her well.

Lin Shanchu tapped open the entertainment section and saw a photo of her and Lin Suguang getting into the car together.

Fortunately, Lin Suguang’s face was mostly covered, so he could not be seen clearly.

The headline of the news was eye-catching.

[Lin Shanchu was alone in a car with a stranger late at night…]

The words “late at night”, “alone,” and “strange man ” really made one’s imagination run wild.

The comments section:

[Huh??? They broke up?]

[It’s either a breakup or an affair!]

[They definitely broke up. I don’t believe Lin Shanchu would dare to cheat on Best Actor Huo!]

[Looks like this couple is no exception either. Lin Shanchu should focus on her career. I think her acting skills are quite good. She should act more.]

[A sparrow can forget about flying up to the branches and becoming a phoenix…]

[She already found a new man so quickly? The seamless relationships makes her look like a scumbag.]

“Shanshan, why don’t you clarify the matter?”

When Lin Shanchu saw Lin Suguang walk over, she locked the phone and put it aside.

“I’ll clarify it tomorrow.” She asked Lin Suguang with a smile, “How about I take you for a spin this afternoon?”

He did not expect Lin Suguang to reject her. “No need, I have something to do in the afternoon.”

“What is it?”

“I’m invited to be a judge for a university photography competition.. I’ll go over and take a look.”
