Liu family.

Their house was a large villa with elegant decoration. It was decorated in a mixed western and eastern style and was hidden in the suburbs. It was far away from the hustle of the city.

At the door, Butler Wang was about to enter with some flowers when he heard the sound of a car stopping. He turned his head to look at the iron gate and saw a pretty girl get out of the car. It was his young miss.

Liu Qi hurriedly ran inside. Butler Wang’s amiable face immediately revealed a smile. “Young miss, good morning.”

“Good morning, Uncle Wang!” Liu Qi casually greeted him and ran into the house without caring about anything.

Shen Nanxiao did not get out of the car. As he watched the petite figure disappear into the Liu family’s gate, he could not help but smile bitterly. Was she that impatient? She even forgot to take her phone.

At this moment, Liu Qi rushed into the house. Her parents looked like they had already eaten breakfast. They sat on the sofa. Her gentle and intellectual mother was flipping through a magazine. Her old-fashioned father was reading the newspaper and drinking red tea.

When the two of them saw Liu Qi, they were stunned.

Liu Qi looked at the cabinet by the door and suddenly had an idea. All the car keys were in there!

Ignoring the strange gazes of the people in the house, Liu Qi opened the small cabinet. Inside it were neatly placed car keys, each with a tag on it.

There were keys to different cars. There were a total of seven cars in the house. Other than the four luxury cars, the other three BMW’s were all for the butler and driver!

Seeing Liu Qi take out all the car keys, and running upstairs in a hurry so much that even one of her slippers came off!

“This girl! Why is she coming back here this morning going crazy?” Father Liu stared at the rabbit slipper on the stairs with a strange look and asked again, “What did she take just now?”

Butler Wang quickly answered, “Miss took the car keys.”

Liu Qi quickly locked the car keys in her room and hid her room key in the bathroom. She could not let them go out today!



“Ah Qi! Take out the car keys. I have a meeting!” There was a scowl on Father Liu’s face. He was really angry. He did not have time to care that Liu Qi had returned a few days earlier.

Liu Qi, who was blocking the door, shook her head desperately. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. “You can’t go out today.”

At this moment, Liu Qi did not know how to explain to the two people in front of her. She only hoped that her parents would not go out today no matter what.

This… looking at Liu Qi’s appearance, it did not seem like she was willful enough to cause trouble. Mother Liu looked at Father Liu in surprise. Then, she slowly walked towards Liu Qi and bent down slightly. She asked, “You little girl, what’s wrong?”

“You can’t go out!” Liu Qi said with unusual firmness. There was practically no room for discussion. This made Mother Liu feel strange, but at the same time, she thought of something.

“Ah Qi, mother also has a condition!” Liu Qi’s mother smiled. That smile made Liu Qi feel that something was not right.

“What?” Liu Qi looked at her mother strangely. She was filled with anticipation and some doubts.

Liu Qi’s mother smiled gently and tapped the tip of her nose. She went straight to the point. “We can not go out, but you have to agree to the marriage with the Shen family.”

“I agree.” Liu Qi agreed without even thinking.

Everyone in the room was stunned. Did the young miss actually agree? The young miss, who went on a hunger strike last month, actually agreed so easily today!

Even Father Liu, who had his brows knitted together the whole time, could not believe it. He clearly remembered that his daughter was determined about her choice. Could it be that after interacting with him for the past few days, Liu Qi discovered the good in Shen Nanxiao?

However, these were two different things. Father Liu said with some dissatisfaction, “There are so many people waiting in the company. I…”

“Old Liu!” Mother Liu immediately stopped Father Liu and did not allow him to continue speaking. Then, she comforted him, “You can keep the meeting for later. Your daughter’s marriage is more important.”

Mother Liu had always cared about the relationship between Liu Qi and Shen Nanxiao. Back then, Shen Nanxiao’s mother passed away due to heart disease. Her last words were: it was a regret in her life that she could not see the marriage of the two who were engaged when they were children.

Mother Liu and Shen Nanxiao’s mother were playmates who had grown up together. Moreover, the Liu family and the Shen family were family friends. They were practically closer than ever.

Seeing Father Liu push his glasses, and could not relax his tightly knitted brows. Liu Qi knew that this father of hers cared about work the most. Presumably, at this moment, it was difficult for him to make a choice.

She did not want to put her father in a dilemma. She already had an idea in her heart. She said, “Father, when was the last time you exercised? How about we walk to the company together?”

“Walk?” Father Liu was obviously surprised when he heard that. It was true that he had not exercised properly for many years because he was in a hurry, especially after he took over the Liu Corporation.

“Okay?” Liu Qi tilted her head slightly and looked at her father, who was usually more dignified. In the past, she was very afraid and hated her father. He always kept a straight face and always scolded her.

Perhaps she was used to being spoiled by the butler and other servants in the family, so she would lose her temper whenever she was unhappy. However, after being bullied in the Nangong family for three years, she did not even dare to complain…

Thinking of this, Liu Qi’s eyes dimmed. At that time, she was living a cheap life. Nangong Shu clearly did not like her, and she could tell that he did not like her. However, she still lied to herself!

“Okay! Then let’s go. It’s better to be late than not show up at all.” Father Liu looked at Mother Liu and said, “Tell Xiao Liu to postpone the meeting until the afternoon.”

Mother Liu nodded and smiled. She said in a relaxed manner, “You guys go. I do not have anything to do today. I’ll take a day off.”

Liu Qi was still a little uncomfortable when she went out. She changed into a warm apricot-colored dress without any patterns. There was only a six-petaled plum blossom on her chest. It was simple, but it made her skin look even fairer; even a pair of chopstick-like legs would not make her look thin.

She put her hands behind her back and pinched them. She walked on an equal footing with her father. At this moment, she felt that it was not real. She had never gotten close to her father.

When she was young, her parents were very busy. Grandma and Grandpa never gave her good looks because she was a girl. She also became more and more spoiled. She always felt that other people did not like her. Why should she like other people? Even if it was for her family, she would not take the initiative to be friendly.

“Ah Qi, walk properly. This is the roadside. What if something happens while you are absent-minded?” Father Liu suddenly spoke, breaking the quiet atmosphere between the two of them.

Father Liu was clearly concerned, but his tone was dignified and carried a hint of blame. If it was in the past, Liu Qi would have started to throw her face and refute him.

“Okay, then… Daddy, can you hold my hand?” Liu Qi smiled brightly and stretched out her small hands.

Liu Qi was petite and only 160 centimeters tall. She looked cute and young. However, her parents were both tall. Back then, everyone suspected that Liu Qi was not their biological daughter. But, she just inherited it from her uncle. Her uncle was only 158 centimeters tall, and her uncle inherited it from her grandmother.

“How old are you? You still want to hold my hand? That’s ridiculous!” Although he said that, Father Liu still stretched out his big hand and held Liu Qi’s hand.

This pair of big hands was very warm, and it was also the first time that the father and daughter pair looked like father and daughter.

Liu Qi smiled, and the tears in her eyes came out. She secretly wiped them away while holding the bangs to her forehead.

This section of the road was very long. It was a full seven kilometers, but it was also short.

Half an hour later, the father and daughter pair walked to the South Gate Overpass. This was the place where her parents had a car accident in their previous life! Liu Qi’s hand could not help but tremble slightly.

Father Liu also noticed this small movement. He immediately let go of Liu Qi’s hand, took off his coat, and put it on Liu Qi. He did not forget to teach her a lesson, “Don’t you know how to wear more clothes when you go out. You only know how bad it is when you catch a cold.”
