Su Luo changed into a high-collared shirt and pepped herself as much as before walking out. Coincidentally, Ma Jiachen had also returned.

Ma Jiachen knew that Su Luo wouldn’t feel well after waking up today, so he returned very early. Thus, when his mother said she wanted to come over, he didn’t reject her. He just didn’t expect his mother to come so quickly.

“Mom, why are you here so early?” Ma Jiachen changed his shoes and walked over to Su Luo. He patted her head. “How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine. Auntie Yin is watching. Be careful.” Su Luo felt a little embarrassed in front of Gao Yin.

“That’s your future mother-in-law. Why are you so shy? Besides, Mom won’t mind.” It was rare for Ma Jiachen to see her like this. He didn’t bother and pulled her to sit beside his mother.

Naturally, Gao Yin was happy. With a face full of love, she said, “I don’t mind. As long as your relationship is good, it’s better than anything else.”

After several conversations, Gao Yin was delighted with Su Luo. Su Luo’s eyes were bright, and her actions were kind. More importantly, her son liked her. Although the little girl was shy, her expression was sweet, so she naturally didn’t object. She just came here to send some soup over initially, but she didn’t expect to receive such an unexpected reward. She reckoned that she was about to have a grandson, so Gao Yin left in satisfaction.

Ma Jiachen wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. “My mother likes you very much, so don’t worry.”

“Isn’t it because of you that I’m worried? Why you hadn’t informed me in advance? When I opened the door for your mother, my appearance and my neck… your mother must have seen it…” the more she spoke, the more Su Luo grumbled. What was she going to do with her relationship with her mother-in-law in the future?

Ma Jiachen kissed her pouting lips, causing Su Luo to roll her eyes. “This is my fault, but you can’t blame me as my Luoluo is this seductive. I couldn’t control myself, so…”

Ma Jiachen’s aura became seductive. “You forgot that you were the one who pounced on me last night…”

Su Luo thought of last night’s situation. She seemed to have kissed him forcefully. When she thought of that, Su Luo couldn’t help but blush. It was caused by her drinking. No, it should be said that it was Su Rang’s fault…

“You remember now?” Ma Jiachen looked at her with a smile.

Su Luo rolled her eyes at him again. He was asking the obvious question!

When Ma Jiachen saw this, he smiled even more happily. Then, he thought of something and looked at Su Luo with a fiery gaze. “Darling, it’s going to be Valentine’s Day soon. Let’s go on a trip. How about it?”

Su Luo also recovered herself. There was some guilt in her eyes. “I was just about to tell you that my best friend got married. We had an agreement in university that no one is allowed to miss it, so, Jiachen…”

Ma Jiachen was naturally disappointed. To be honest, they hadn’t celebrated Valentine’s Day in four years. Every year, Su Luo had a reason not to celebrate this day. When he heard this, Ma Jiachen still smiled and said it was fine. He was just giving it a try; what if he succeeded by asking her out earlier this year?

He didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.

In the blink of an eye, it was Valentine’s Day. Ma Jiachen was a decent boss. He gave his employees a break early to celebrate the holidays. When he returned home alone, he saw a huge cardboard box at his bedroom door. A note on it said, “Personally opened by Ma Jiachen.”

Ma Jiachen looked around. Luoluo had not returned. How did this box get in? He cautiously opened the box. Then, it was like a jack in the box. Colorful Balloons flew out, and in the middle of the balloons was Su Luo, who was supposed to attend her best friend’s wedding!

Su Luo held a strawberry cake in her hand and looked at him with a smile. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

“Aren’t you coming back tomorrow?”Ma Jiachen was pleasantly surprised.

“Yes, but it’s Valentine’s Day today. After the wedding in the morning, I took a plane back. Fortunately, I made it in time!” Su Luo put down the cake and wrapped her arms around his neck. She raised her head and asked, “It’s been such a rush to catch a plane. Don’t you have any gifts for me?”

Ma Jiachen took out a ring from his suit pocket and put it on her, “This is a custom-made couple’s ring. It just arrived today. I thought I couldn’t give it to you today, but I didn’t expect you to come back early… don’t worry, this isn’t a wedding ring. When we get married, I’ll buy you a bigger one.”

“It’s very beautiful. I like it very much.” Su Luo caressed the ring on her hand lovingly and looked at him troubledly. “But I only prepared a cake…”

“You’re my greatest gift!” Ma Jia Chen kissed her between the brows and said gently.

“You’re right.” Su Luo’s eyes lit up. “Then I’ll give myself to you…”

Ma Jia Chen felt that his brain was lagging. Did she mean what he thought? He looked at the smiling little lady in front of him, and his throat felt a little dry. “What do you mean?”
