Night Rose

Ling Keke has always made her own career plans without consulting anyone. She's been very successful in the public relations industry, but if she were to return to China, she would have to start building her network from scratch.

For her, this is definitely a completely new challenge in her career.

Su Jin was surprised; the decision was too sudden and too risky, but it was very much in line with Ling Keke's adventurous style.

"Coco, you've worked your way up in the company, leaving isn't a good option."

Ling Keke's smile faded slightly, but her eyes remained firm. "Yes, I've considered all of these things, but my mother is getting old and her health isn't very good. I'm her only daughter. What will she do if I don't take care of her?"

Furthermore, the longer I stay abroad, the less favorable it will be for my career development after returning to China, so it's better to go back sooner. It's not that I'm completely unsure about returning; don't worry, I'm already in contact with companies.

She has a very easygoing personality, but she's very reliable at work.

Su Jin believed that she wouldn't joke about her job, and held her hand with heartache.

"Okay, when you come back, I'll definitely take you to Nanyuan to try some delicious food."

Ling Keke raised an eyebrow. "Planning to continue managing your lousy car fleet?"

Su Jin nodded.

"As I told you before, I want to lead a team to compete in Top Chain's domestic competitions, and this goal has never changed."

Perhaps other teams could meet my requirements, but they're not as dedicated, and their goals aren't aligned with mine. Boss Tu seems interested in continuing to race, so I think we can work together.

"But your race cars aren't good enough. You can win races in small places like Nanyuan, but you'll need better cars in other places."

"Top Chain lost a lot of money, but I can use that money to invest in the racing team. I can turn that piece of junk into something good, let alone other top-quality production cars."

"Okay, you can borrow money from me if you're short of cash, interest-free!"

The two snuggled together and chatted until 2 a.m. Su Jin leaned against Ling Keke's knees, yawned, and fell asleep.

She didn't know how she ended up on the bed. When she woke up, Ling Keke was already gone, leaving her a gift on the table.

Su Jin opened the exquisite packaging, inside was a pearl necklace.

Sticky notes were stuck to the gift box, and Ling Keke's handwriting was flamboyant and elegant.

Ling: This is a matching pair, you should bring it!

Su Jin smiled unconsciously, put on the new necklace, took a picture, and sent it to Ling Keke.

Ling: Baby looks so beautiful in this pearl necklace!

Ling: While I'm away, spend quality time with your handsome younger brother! I'm waiting for your good news!

Su: I'll definitely tell you first the day we win the championship.

Ling: This good news is also acceptable.

After seeing her friend off, Su Jin calculated the time. She had been in New York for almost a month and really missed the taste of Chinese food. She didn't want to stay there any longer, so she took Zhou Zheng out for a few days of fun before embarking on their journey back to China.

After a flight of more than ten hours, I didn't feel tired or exhausted this time, as I was sitting next to my loved one.

The cabin lights were off, most people were asleep, and only a few were still looking at their phones.

It was dark and the temperature was quite low.

Under the blanket, Zhou Zheng held Su Jin's hand and gently kneaded it in his palm.

"Are you sleepy?" Zhou Zheng asked in a low voice.

Su Jin yawned slightly and snuggled into Zhou Zheng's arms.

I'm a little sleepy.

Zhou Zheng pulled her into his arms and kissed her hair. "Sleep now, I'm holding you."

Su Jin responded and nestled peacefully in his arms to sleep.

The plane finally landed, and the two took a taxi to Su Jin's house. Fighting off their sleepiness, they quickly took a shower, and Zhou Zheng grabbed a large bath towel, wrapped it tightly around her, carried her on his shoulder, and took her directly to bed.

Su Jin wasn't usually this sleepy. It was probably because Zhou Zheng was by her side, and his body temperature and scent were familiar to her. She slept soundly in his arms.

The two slept soundly until they adjusted to the new time zone.

The first thing we did after waking up was to go see Zhou Zheng's maternal grandfather together.

Su Jin stood hesitantly at the entrance of the building, carrying a bag of health supplements for the elderly and some fruit suitable for seniors. "Do you think I brought too little for Grandpa? Should I go and buy some more?"

Zhou Zheng lifted the potted plant with both hands. "Sister, this pot is heavy enough. Grandpa will definitely like it. Can we walk now? I really can't lift it anymore."

"During the time I was away, didn't you exercise at all? How come you can't even lift it anymore?" Su Jin questioned.

"...They must have been trained, but I don't know about Little Fatty." Zhou Zheng smiled wickedly.

Su Jin's attention was immediately drawn to the chubby boy. "He's definitely gained weight! He finally managed to lose weight, it won't be easy for him to lose it again. And you, what do you think your workouts are all about..."

"Alright, baby, let's go upstairs." Zhou Zheng interrupted her. He knew Su Jin was nervous; she wasn't usually this talkative.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Grandpa definitely likes you. If he doesn't, I'll kick you out of the house with you."

Su Jin gritted her teeth. Fine, I've met the parents before, this time they're just using different identities!

She rallied herself, carrying two bags, and walked ahead.

Before the two even reached the door, they heard their grandfather's voice, as well as the voices of two other people, though they couldn't make it out clearly.

"I told you he's not here, so you should leave now. Don't keep knocking on the door and disturbing the neighbors." Grandpa blocked the doorway, preventing them from looking inside.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Zheng immediately pulled Su Jin behind him and rushed upwards, shouting, "Grandpa! Are you alright?!"

No one expected Zhou Zheng's sudden arrival. Grandpa was surprised, delighted, and a little worried. "Xiao Zheng, be careful not to fall! I'm fine."

These two people have been coming to see Zhou Zheng a lot these days, without revealing their identities.

They just knock on the door and won't leave until you open it; it's so annoying.

Zhou Zheng looked up and the young man in the black suit looked very familiar.

Who else could it be but Wu Ting?

Wu Ting led his men back and pressed himself against the door of his neighbor across the street, opening his arms to show that he meant no harm.

"Relax, I'm not here to cause trouble."

"Why are you here?!" Zhou Zheng, holding a flowerpot, stood between his grandfather and Wu Ting. Before Wu Ting could speak, he put the flowerpot inside and asked the old man in a low voice, "Grandpa, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. He said he's your friend and needs to talk to you. He's come several times. I told him you weren't here, but he didn't believe me and insisted on coming every day." Grandpa sighed.

These people don't look like they're easy to mess with, especially the man in the black suit; he doesn't look friendly at all.

How could my own grandson know such a friend?

"Xiao Zheng, are they really your friends?" Grandpa asked.
