It was the weekend, and they had plans to H City to visit Su Hang's mother.

H City was just the next city over. Although it wasn't too far, it was still a three-hour drive from S City to H City. Shen Xi and Su Hang hadn't planned on spending the night in H City, so they had to get up bright any early.

"Mrs. Zhang, where are the things I asked you to prepare yesterday?" Shen Xi asked Mrs. Zhang as she packed.

"It's in the kitchen, let me bring it over." It was quite early in the morning, so Mrs. Zhang was still not quite ready.

Shen Xi accepted the black antique food container from Mrs. Zhang and carefully carried it out of the house. While she did this, she said: "Mrs. Zhang, we might not necessarily come back home today, so please just feed Chu Wu before leaving. You don't need to cook dinner."

"Alright." Mrs. Zheng nodded as she sent Shen Xi to the door.

Su Hang, who had been waiting near the front door for quite a while now, saw Shen Xi and asked: "Everything alright?"

"Yes, we can go now." Shen Xi replied.

"What's this?" Su Hang took the food box from Shen Xi and tilted his head.

"An offering." Shen Xi replied.

Su Hang was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Xi to be so serious about this. His heart was very moved, but of course, none of this showed on his face. He turned around and opened the passenger door of the car for Shen Xi. After she had gotten on, Su Hang opened the trunk and placed the antique food box inside.

The dark Mercedes Benz drove out of the gate, with a barking Chu Wu to see them off.

The drive was somewhat boring as Su Hang said little. Coupled with the fact that they woke up earlier than usual, Shen Xi couldn't help but yawn.

"Why don't you go back to sleep?" Su Hang, who always paid close attention to his wife, asked.

"No, I'm fine. Maybe some wind will help." Shen Xi rolled down the window a little. Suddenly a cold gust blew in the car, causing Shen Xi to shiver and sneeze twice.

Su Hang immediately pressed the button to close the window. Unfortunately, the car window was slow to close.

"Well, I'm completely awake now." Shen Xi couldn't help laughing.

Shen Xi's long hair had turned a little messy due to the unexpected gust. The two sneezes had also caused her nose to get red, and tears to gather in her eyes. She looked awkward and very cute, causing Su Hang to raise the corner of his lips.

"Don't open the window, it's easy to catch a cold." Su Hang couldn't help but advise.

"Un, I'll listen to you."

Those four words were said by Shen Xi so casually, but when Su Hang heard this, his heart beat faster. He could almost believe that the distance between them had shortened.

"When was the last time you went to H City?" Shen Xi asked as she smoothed down her hair.

"Three years ago. On the day I took over the Su company." Su Hang replied.

"Oh..." Shen Xi froze. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. On the day he took over Su company. It was obvious to Shen Xi that Su Hang had visited his mother to say something specific.

Of course, Su Hang also noticed the change in the atmosphere. He was a little annoyed that his cold personality caused such a change, but also he hadn't wanted to lie to Shen Xi. So he could only try to change the subject. Su Hang pretended that nothing had happened and casually asked: "Have you ever been to H City?"
