“That’s alright. Do you want to stay back for dinner?” George asked Jian Yiling. His voice was kind and humble.

“No thank you,” Jian Yiling responded politely.

“I plan to go back,” Jian Yiling added after a moment.

As Jian Yiling said that, George did not force them to stay. Instead, he personally walked them over to the door and watched them get into the car.

Back in the car, everyone other than Jian Yiling was still incredibly confused.

They were reflecting on the ups and downs that they had experienced this afternoon.

On the way back, the five of them sat in the backseat of a Rolls-Royce.

“God Ling, didn’t you say you didn’t know the elders of the Goodman family?” Yu Xi whispered to Jian Yiling.

For some reason, George’s attitude towards God Ling was quite friendly. It didn’t seem as though he didn’t know her.

“I met him for the first time today,” Jian Yiling replied. She wasn’t lying. After all, she hadn’t met George Goodman before.

“What?” Yu Xi said.

If they were all meeting him for the first time, then why did George Goodman treat God Ling so much better than he treated them?

Was it because God Ling was good-looking?

Surely not right?

George Goodman was a highly respected individual in society. Therefore, in his time, he had probably seen a lot of good-looking people.

Furthermore, he was already seventy years old. He wouldn’t be attracted to God Ling’s beauty like Master Sheng was right?

The whole thing was incredibly confusing.

Han Mengyu and Xing Wei also reacted similarly to Yu Xi.

After a while, the two of them stared at Zhai Yunsheng. They tried to get an answer from Zhai Yunsheng’s expression.

However, there was not much of a surprised expression on Zhai Yunsheng’s face. Instead, his eyes were smiling and his expression was relaxed.

Han Mengyu moved over to Zhai Yunsheng’s side and asked in a whisper: “Master Sheng, does our sister-in-law actually not know anyone from the Goodman family?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then, aren’t you curious?”

“I am curious.”

“But, you don’t seem curious at all.”

“Well, it’s quite interesting to peel off vests from your fiancee. You won’t understand.”

“Uh…” Han Mengyu started. Indeed, he did not understand.

However, he did understand the pleasure of taking off clothes on a woman.

“Oh right, my sister-in-law seems rather popular with people. Aren’t you worried about her getting stolen away?” Han Mengyu asked again.

“Hmmm,” Zhai Yunsheng hummed softly. He did not say yes or no to Han Mengyu’s question.

“Master Sheng, marriage is not everything. In order to keep her heart, you must learn to be gentle, considerate, and romantic,” Han Mengyu said.

After all, his friend had been single for twenty years. If he was finally interested in a girl, as Master Sheng’s good friend, he had to help him keep this relationship going.

If this didn’t work out, God knows how long it would take before Master Sheng got into another relationship.

“What ideas do you have?” When it came to these things, Han Mengyu had been in many more relationships. As a result, he was more experienced than Zhai Yunsheng.

“Well, I made a reservation in the Hanging Gardens restaurant. It will be a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars. Originally, I was going to invite a celebrity to come with me. Why don’t you go with your fiancee instead?” Han Mengyu said.

“Alright.”

Then, although his face did not show it, Zhai Yunsheng began to imagine the romantic candlelit dinner with Jian Yiling tonight.
