“What do you mean by why? We are dating now, and my parents want to meet you. Oh, actually it is my mother who wants to meet you. She… after I call off my engagement with Wei Nan, she kept quarreling with me. Haha… remember to bring some gifts and put on your best performance later, ok?”

“Later?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Err… no problem. What should I bring for Aunty?”

“This is your first time meeting them and should bring a presentable gift. Why not I prepare the gift for you, and you tell them you had bought it?”

“No… I will prepare the gifts.”

“Alright. That’s settled. I will tell you the address and come over after you get the gifts, ok?”

Dong Xuebing took down the address and hangs up. He was nervous as Secretary Xie in Beijing City’s Party Committee secretary and a Politburo member. Also, from Xie Huilan’s tone, Secretary Xie and his wife had objected to him dating Sister Xie. Actually, both of them are not considered dating. But Dong Xuebing knew he needs to get approval from Secretary Xie and his wife, or else, the Xie family will arrange someone for Xie Huilan.

Dong Xuebing thought about Aunt Xuan and Sister Xie and was frustrated.

Is this considered two-timing them? Hmmm… I am dating Qu Yunxuan, but with Xie Huilan… it feels like we are only pretending to be in a relationship. My duty is only to help Sister Xie escape the clutches of her family and stop them from forcing her to marry someone she doesn’t love. So, I am not considered two-timing.

Dong Xuebing stopped his thoughts from running wild, and his task now is to pass Xie Huilan’s mother’s test first.

After returning home, Dong Xuebing took out his boxes of wild ginseng and picked a 50 years old box, before driving to Xi Shan Villas. The Standing Committee’s lodging is located at the Xi Shan Villa district, but it is a distance from Senior Xie’s mansion. Dong Xuebing drove around for a while before he found the road.

Ring, ring, ring… Dong Xuebing’s phone rang again.

Xie Huilan: “Where are you now?”

Dong Xuebing replied while driving. “I will be reaching in 10 minutes.”

“So fast? You drove?”

“Yes.”

“You can’t enter without a permit. I will get Xiao Hao to wait for you at the guardhouse. What car are you driving?”

Dong Xuebing was stunned when he heard this. He realized he is driving the Mercedes Benz. Will this be alright? “Err…… It’s a Mercedes Benz.”

“C class? Alright.”

Dong Xuebing wiped the sweat on his forehead. “It’s… it’s an S class.”

There was a pause on the other line. “Hehe… you are so daring.”

“No… it’s my friend’s car, and I borrowed it.” Dong Xuebing tried to explain. “How about I park my car a distance away and walk over?”

“Don’t be so troublesome. Just drive over. Alright.”

After Xie Huilan said this, Dong Xuebing stopped hesitating. He straightened his collars and drove to the Standing Committee Villas. There were armed guards at the entrance and one of them stopped Dong Xuebing’s car. Before the guard could ask anything, Xie Hao, who was still in his school uniform, ran over and told the guard. “This is my friend.” The guard stepped back as they know who Xie Hao was.

Xie Hao looked at the Mercedes Benz curiously. “So cool! This car is so cool!”

Dong Xuebing wind down the windows. “Get in first.”

Xie Hao immediately hopped into the car. “Hehe… Brother-in-law!”

Dong Xuebing gave him a stare. “Stop calling me that.”

Xie Hao replied cheekily. “Why not? I know everything. You and my sister are not pretending to be a couple. Both of you are dating for real.”

Dong Xuebing thought to himself. I still have not touched your sister’s hair. How can we be dating?

“Brother-in-law…”

Dong Xuebing can’t be bothered to correct him. “What?”

“Hehe… This car is so cool… Can you let me drive it?”

“You are still underage and don’t even have a driving license!”

“Then bring me out for a ride later.” Xie Hao kept touching the interior fittings. “This is so cool. If I can drive this car to school every day, I will be smiling even in my dreams. Damn! Once I enter university, I must buy this car.”

Dong Xuebing gave Xie Hao a glance. “You should concentrate on your studies before thinking about other stuff!”
