DING!
The elevator stopped at 19A, and Shen Yuan and Li Zhi stepped out.
Shen Yuan naturally let go of Li Zhi's hand, his face breaking into its usual confident smile as he vowed, "Don't worry, Li Bao. My parents? Leave them to me!"
Li Zhi turned to the side, taking out her keys to open the door, but the corner of her lips curled into a subtle, amused smile, as if she were about to watch a show.
She shot Shen Yuan a sideways glance and reminded him in a teasing tone, "Hmm... you know, you might have to win over my parents in a bit, too."
Shen Yuan's smile froze on his face. As if he'd choked on something, his swaggering confidence deflated like a popped balloon with a soft PFFT.
His mouth twitched. He visibly stiffened for half a second, and a vague, uncertain syllable was all that escaped his throat.
"Huh?"
Seeing his confidence instantly evaporate, Li Zhi couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
