After leaving their new home, Lu Tian sat in the driver seat of his car as he drives them in the direction of the Lu Family Household. In the passenger seat, Yue Ling stared down at the nicely wrapped gift on her lap.

When they left the house, she had nagged Lu Tian to take her to buy a gift. Since this is going to be her first time meeting his parents, she wanted to buy a gift for them instead of visiting empty handed.

Staring down at the nicely wrapped gift in red, she slightly purse her lip and looks at the man driving.

"Are you sure they will like this?"

"Mm."

Lu Tian answers her without moving his eyes away from the road. He slows the car to a stop at a red light and turn to look at her.

"They will like the gift. My mother and father prefer simple gifts more than they do prestige ones."

His words fell just as the red light turns green. Stepping on the accelerator, he drives the car forward again.

Yue Ling's eyes remained on the side view of the man's face. She part her lips to say something, but in the end, she could only open and close them without a word escaping.

Since Lu Tian already said his parents would like the gift, she can't argue with him. After all, he had helped choose it and he knows his parents more than she does.

Deciding this, she stays in silence and turns to look out the window to distract herself from being nervous.

Never did she know that meeting your partner's family would be so nerve wrecking, especially when it came to buying a gift.

Staring at the view of the setting sun in the distance, she quietly sighs inside, and her thoughts began to travel to her past.

When Shin was still here, she never had the chance to meet his parents. Not because she didn't want to, but because they had also left the world like her parents when he was young. Whereas, Shin's only family left was his sister, Hana. However, Hana and she were already friends before she met Shin.

Remembering her past, her eyes slowly close and she couldn't help but inhale a deep breath.

"What's wrong?"

Focusing on driving, Lu Tian suddenly hears her sigh and he asks without turning to look at her.

"I was just thinking."

Yue Ling answers him as she opens her eyes again. She turns to look at him but does not say anymore.

She knows that it is unfair to think of the past that is longer there, but she is also thankful. If her past never happened, her present wouldn't be here.

The past that she had with Shin allowed her present to meet Lu Tian.

"What's on your mind?"

Lu Tian subconsciously asks as he turns the car into another road. For him to hear her sigh, he has a feeling that she must have thought about her past. Even though he asked, he doesn't expect her to answer if she doesn't want to.

Continuing to stare at the man in the driver seat, Yue Ling couldn't help but sigh again. She faintly smiles and looks down at the nicely wrapped gift sitting on her lap.

"I was thinking about the past. I never got to meet Shin parents because they passed away when he and Hana were younger. However, I was also thinking, because of it, this will be another first with you."

Hearing her response, Lu Tian arch a brow at how honest she was with him. Most men would be angry about their partner thinking about an ex and he would be lying if he wasn't jealous, but instead of jealousy, what he feels is more like envy.

He envies Shin for having many firsts with his wife, but…

He reach a hand to grab hold of hers and brings it closer to him. With eyes on the road, he lightly kiss the back of her hand.

"We still have many firsts ahead of us."

His head turn to look at her and he sighs a smile before kissing her hand again, but this time with eyes staring directly into hers.

"I thank Shin for giving me the chance to meet you."

He turns his head to look back at the road and does not say another word. Although his words were short for a reassuring response, it had a lot of meaning behind it.

If Shin was still here, his chance of meeting her would have never happened.

Yue Ling stares at the man with unblinking eyes. She smiles a soft chuckle and turn to look out the passenger window. Shin may have been her first love, but Lu Tian is her forever love.

As she thought of her blissful fortunate in meeting Lu Tian, the buildings that were once in view were now replaced with rows of trees. Before she could fully appreciate the scenery of nature, she was suddenly greeted with a high brick wall.

Lu Tian's car pulls up to a metal gate and he rolls the window down as a security guard steps out from the guard booth towards them.

"Good evening, young master Lu."

The guard gestures a bow to greet the famous businessman. However, he was quickly taken back by surprise when he saw that Lu Tian was not alone inside the car.

Sitting in the passenger seat is a woman!

Even more surprising was that it was not Madam Lu or the cousin, Zhao Ya'Er.

Lu Tian ignores the security's surprised face and hands over his ID. Although he comes here often to visit his parents, he made sure the security was very tight. Even if the security guard knows those who lives or frequently visits here, whoever is on duty must check IDs at all times.

The security guard still in a daze takes the ID and checks it out. Handing it back, he gestures another bow and goes back into the booth to open the gate. However, he didn't forget to take another look at the mysterious woman in the passenger seat.

Just when the gate opened and Lu Tian's car pulls forward, he was able to catch a better glimpse of the woman. Though he did not get a perfect look at her, he knows that his eyes did not lie to him.

He finally understood why the famous Lu Tian has never been involved in any scandals with women.

It's because he already has a beautiful woman by his side!
