When the call ended, Xiehan glanced at Lanni who still seemed to be thinking deeply about something. "A penny for your thought?" 

Lanni retracted her gaze that was staring into space and smiled. "Nothing. I just thought her eyes were familiar but thinking about it, we shouldn't have met before." She looked at him and asked, "Is she your aunt from Australia, the one who brought you up?" She guessed, since they seemed to be as close as a son and his mother. 

"Yeah." She noticed that there was a fond gentleness in his eyes when he talked about her. She must have taken such good care of him, or else he would not be this close to her. "I wanted to tell you about her but then she called. Since the two of you already got to speak to each other, it saves me the trouble of having to tell you everything about her." 

She laughed when he sighed in relief. Was it so difficult to introduce someone? 

"Speaking of which, love��" He held her hand as he started. "Are you going to be too busy in the next few weeks?" 

She thought about it before responding, "I shouldn't be too busy. There are a few things that I should handle but not too many of them. Why do you ask?" 

"The last time we tried to have a vacation, Feng Ci happened." 

"Urgh… don't even remind me." She groaned, once again celebrating the fact that the latter had finally done herself in. She thought about his incomplete statement and raised an eyebrow. "Unless you…" 

"Want to go on another vacation? Of course I do!" He completed her statement cheerfully, and she giggled in response. No wonder he was so busy lately. He must have been working overtime so he would create time for the two of them to go on a vacation soon. 

"Were you thinking of going to Australia this time?" She asked, wondering whether this was where his aunt came in. 

He nodded. "If that would be alright with you." 

"Anywhere's perfect." She smiled. She still wanted to explore Europe, but she had never been to Australia either, at least not since she recovered her memory. It would be exciting and… "Wait, were you planning to use this chance to visit your aunt and introduce me to her?" 

He searched her face for any hint of displeasure at the thought of visiting his aunt. After all, she had not been fully willing to visit his parents in the past. He sighed in relief when he found that the idea seemed to excite her instead. "Again, it depends on what you want, my love." 

She crossed her arms with a harrumph. "That's what you always say. When are you ever going to do what you want?" 

He chuckled at her pouty expression. "Your happiness is my happiness, my love. What else would I want to do except what you want?" 

She glared at him and started the car, ignoring him. "Why are you so irritatingly charming?" 

He couldn't help laughing at her twisted train of thought. "If I wasn���t so charming, how else would I manage to snag myself the best girlfriend in the world?" 

"Your aunt is right. You really are honey-tongued." She pulled out of the parking without sparing him a glance. 

"Hehe…" He laughed and offered his lips to her. "Do you want to taste it and confirm whether her words are true?" 

"It's not like I don't know…" She ignored him for the rest of the drive. 

Since he was tired, he fell asleep in a few minutes. She let him take a nap and slowed down so he would rest more peacefully, sneaking a few peeks at his sleeping face. He looked so charming that her lips curled into a smile. 

Even when they arrived at his mansion, she was reluctant to wake him up and continued observing the "sleeping beauty". 

The man woke up on his own a few minutes later. "We're home already?" 

Realizing that they were, he pulled her into his arms and launched a complaint. "But I want to continue sleeping with you beside me." 

"You can sleep as much as you want in the house." 

She had barely completed her statement when a series of taps resounded against the windscreen. She checked in annoyance to see an extremely infuriated Jiang Xingyu knocking incessantly. "Come out, right this instant!" 

Xiehan was annoyed about being interrupted but he could only let go of Lanni and leave the car. "Where's the fire?" 

"In my chest!" The man was enraged. "I've been waiting for you for the last three hours and the first thing you do upon your arrival is commence your x-rated activities in the car without caring about your poor friend?!" 

Lanni wanted nothing more than to sew his mouth shut. Who the heck was doing x-rated activities? Also, "Who the hell waits for another for so long without giving a call at least? What if he didn't come back home?" She was not merely berating him for the sake of it. She had thought of taking Xiehan to her apartment so they would spend the night together. However, he was asleep and she didn't want to wake him up. 

In response to her lecture, he shrugged and looked like he had suffered a huge deal of injustice. "I tried calling his phone for two days and he was unreachable every time. I could only wait for him here. Sigh, I must have committed an unforgivable sin in my past life to end up with a friend like him in my current life." 

"Your luck was just rotten." Lanni laughed at his expense. 

"What do you want?" Xiehan was not interested in his idiotic rant. 

"Geez… would you die if you were a little more polite?" Jiang Xingyu complained. But knowing that his heartless friend might really kick him out, he stopped complaining and got to the point. "I want to talk business with you."
