Chapter 1233: Chapter 1232 Meeting the Parents Chapter 1233: Chapter 1232 Meeting the Parents Zhou Shengting took Bai Lan by the hand and walked her to the side of his car, opened the door, and let her sit in the passenger seat.
After he got in the car, he buckled her seatbelt for her.
At that moment, Bai Lan's heart felt settled, and she didn't care at all where he was taking her.
Zhou Shengting glanced at her and then started the car.
It felt good to be back by his side.
Zhou Shengting drove to the seaside and after parking the car, he rolled down the windows and the two of them leaned back in their seats in quiet.
Nobody spoke, not wanting to break the silence.
The two had reunited after five years. How much had they gone through in those years? How much had each endured? No one knew.
Finally, it was Zhou Shengting who broke the silence, “Have you been well these years?”
This time there was no mockery, no sarcasm, just full of concern.
Yes, that was actually what he had always wanted to ask. After they parted, he first felt anger, then longing, and later, fear–fear that she had married, too scared to inquire about her.
Thankfully, fate was still kind to him; she was still the same girl as before.
Bai Lan felt the warmth in his words and nodded slightly, responding softly, “I… I've been good,” except for missing you dearly.
But she didn't say that last part.
“How about you? Have you been well?” Bai Lan asked, feeling a bit sad. She couldn't believe it took five years to have the chance to ask him this question.
Zhou Shengting turned to face her, looked into her eyes, and said, “No, I haven't been well at all. I've missed you, miss you madly.”
Bai Lan's eyes reddened instantly. Suddenly, she turned and threw herself into his embrace, tightly hugging his strong waist. “Sheng Ting, I've missed you too.”
Zhou Shengting hugged her back, burying his face deep in the crook of her shoulder.
Then Zhou Shengting pulled back a bit, and with a lowered head, he deeply kissed Bai Lan's tender red lips.
The atmosphere in the car was passionate.
And the night deepened.
Just like that, Zhou Shengting and Bai Lan came back together.
Life became sweet as honey for them, and with Zhou Shengting's persuasion, Bai Lan moved in to live with him.
One day, Zhou Shengting told Bai Lan that he planned to take her home for dinner.
On hearing this, Bai Lan froze, “Go back… to your place?”
Bai Lan hesitantly asked.
“Yes, what's wrong? Don't you want to?” Zhou Shengting asked, a little disappointed.
“No… it's not that,” Bai Lan forced a smile and then said, “I'm very willing. I just don't know what Auntie and Uncle like, and I'm a bit worried about what gift to buy.”
Thinking of the face of Zhou's mother made her shudder involuntarily.
The words she had said to her were still vivid in her memory.
“Silly girl, I'll prepare the gift. You just need to be there,” Zhou Shengting said as he touched her head.
But Bai Lan was still nervous, “Still, I should prepare it myself; it shows more sincerity.”
“It's okay. The thought is what counts. Don't be nervous. My parents are pretty easy-going people,” Zhou Shengting comforted her.
“Okay,” Bai Lan nodded.
Since she was already there, meeting the parents was an unavoidable step.
Zhou Shengting hadn't given his family any notice. On Saturday morning, he and Bai Lan prepared gifts and then drove to the Zhou residence.
Upon arrival, Bai Lan appeared composed on the outside, but in reality, she was extremely nervous, feeling like her entire stomach was in knots.
Seeing her standing there motionless, Zhou Shengting walked over, then took her hand and led her inside.
