"Why don't you come home with me for the New Year" Shishi said before leaving: "I feel it's not right to leave you here all alone."

Wang Zheng started the car and smiled, saying, "I'll be back after dropping you off. It wouldn’t be right to follow you for the holiday either."

Shishi didn't say anything more; the two of them had an unusually quiet journey without any bickering.

Arriving at Shangguan's ancestral home, Shishi opened the car door and got out. Before closing it, she stuck her head in and told Wang Zheng, "Make yourself something good to eat tonight."

In Shishi’s view, Wang Zheng spending the holiday alone in the capital was too pitiful. Of course, a lonely man would always evoke a woman's compassion.

A man's unique loneliness was indeed an effective tool for attracting women.

"Don't worry," Wang Zheng flashed a dazzling smile at Shishi.

Today was New Year’s Eve. During the holiday, Chinese people like to gather as a family and have a hot pot feast for the Spring Festival dinner, then sit in front of the TV watching the Spring Festival Gala, which had become a tradition in China.

Wang Zheng lay alone on the sofa, cracking peanuts while watching the gala. He occasionally laughed foolishly to himself, and thus simply passed another New Year’s Eve.

The time was flying fast; it was hard even to catch its tail. Wang Zheng hoped that next year would be better with so many goals waiting to be achieved.

"This year will definitely be better."

Wang Zheng lay on the large bed, staring at the ceiling and smiling foolishly like a child.

...

Early on the third day of the New Year, Shishi Shangguan asked Wang Zheng to drive her to pick her up and then they went straight to Capital International Airport.

"You look really beautiful today," Wang Zheng sincerely complimented as he looked at Shishi Shanguan.

Today, Shishi Shanguan wore light makeup, a long red coat, a wide-brimmed white hat on her head, and let her hair flow freely over her shoulders. She exuded a youthful vibe while also being elegant.

"Thank you for the compliment," Shishi Shanguan smiled happily upon hearing Wang Zheng's praise. She had spent an entire month researching this outfit, and in the morning she took half an hour to put on light makeup. Even Lady Miss Shangguan couldn't escape from convention when it came to pleasing others.

"Uncle Wei is already waiting for us at the airport," said Shishi Shanguan. The "uncle" referred here was of course Wei Wentao, who had rendered great contributions to establishing the Shangguan family's business empire.

"He’s coming too You didn’t say it would just be the two of us" Wang Zheng asked in surprise.

Shishi Shanguan smiled and said, "Are you disappointed" seeing the look on Wang Zheng's face made her feel sweet inside.

"Cut it out, am I that petty"

"After Uncle Wei arrives in Hong Kong, he has other tasks. In terms of business negotiations, he’s far more experienced than me."

Shishi Shanguan blinked her eyes and said, "Don’t worry, when we go shopping together, we definitely won't let him follow us."

Wang Zheng said with a bad mood, "Don't say it like that; others might think we have some improper relationship."

"Is there really nothing" Shishi Shan上官詩詩 suddenly countered, "What did you do to me that night

"What could I possibly do When I wanted to do something, you were menstruating. Your automatic defense is much better than those anti-wolf gadgets sold online." Seeing Shishi Shan試圖搶回主動權, Wang Zheng wouldn't let her.

However, when he spoke like this, the slightly awkward atmosphere between them was greatly alleviated.

"This time going to Hong Kong, can you tell me what's on the schedule" Wang Zheng said, "It’s troublesome for me to be kept in the dark."

"First, we’ll visit my auntie. Then I will discuss cooperation with the Qiao family. Of course, there is a third thing—the most important one—which is shopping," Shishi Shan was very excited. For any woman, regardless of age, going shopping is irresistible.

"Your aunt" Wang Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Why haven't I heard you mention her before"

"My aunt is actually my dad’s adopted younger sister when he studied abroad. There's no blood relation between us, but she has always been very kind to me. It's been two or three years since we last met; every time she calls, she says she wants to introduce someone to me." Here, Shishi Shan smiled triumphantly: "She might introduce a few outstanding young men for me to meet this time."

Wang Zheng shook his head. "Are those young men so indiscriminate"

"You're dead meat," Shishi Shan reached out and pinched Wang Zheng's waist.

"It hurts, you know." Wang Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air, then smirked wickedly: "Hey, is it possible that your aunt was my dad’s old flame when he studied abroad You see, men and women only acknowledge each other as brothers or sisters during ambiguous relationships. Ah, I never thought Uncle Shang would have such gossip."

Wang Zheng originally thought Shishi Shan would retaliate fiercely but to his surprise, she nodded seriously: "To be honest, I did consider this possibility. It’s indeed possible that they dated before and broke up for some reason later on."

In terms of digging for gossip, Wang Zheng and Shishi Shangguan are truly kindred spirits who hit it off immediately.

"Then have you not tried to get any information out of them" asked Wang Zheng. "If you haven't asked them, I'll make sure to get everything out of them when I go to Hong Kong this time."

"How could I possibly not have asked But they are both shrewd individuals; how can one possibly extract such valuable information from them"

"What does your auntie do for a living" Wang Zheng inquired.

"Her name is Zhiqin Cai," Shishi Shangguan replied. "You should have heard of her."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng nearly stumbled and almost stalled the car!

Zhiqin Cai You mean your auntie's name is Zhiqin Cai" Wang Zheng stared incredulously.

"Is it really necessary for you to be so excited Were you never exposed to celebrities when you were young" Shishi Shangguan said disdainfully.

Wang Zheng gulped!

He truly did not expect that the auntie Shishi Shangguan was referring to turned out to be a long-standing figure in the Chinese music scene, Hong Kong's only acknowledged queen of love ballads—Zhiqin Cai!

All these years, despite numerous successors challenging her position, no one could shake Zhiqin Cai's status in the industry. The love songs she sang were timeless; even after enduring the test of time, they did not accumulate any dust but rather exuded a profound and rich fragrance.

Alright, to be honest, Zhiqin Cai was Wang Zheng’s childhood dream girl, as well as that for countless other men. Even now in her forties, she still showed no signs of aging.er Su."Li Minghao sat at his desk, looking at Wang Zheng frantically doing push-ups. He said, "It's just that you drank some sewage water from the septic tank; is it really necessary to vent like this...
