Soon they got on the bike. Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting on the back seat, was embarrassed to hug Li Dongyu's waist at first, but as the bike moved forward, her shyness was gradually replaced by a wonderful feeling. Finally, she let go of her reserve and reached out to hug Li Dongyu's waist tightly. Lou Xiao'e felt the warmth coming from Li Dongyu, very warm!

Li Dongyu rode with Lou Xiao'e on the street at night. The evening breeze blew on their faces, bringing a hint of coolness. Lou Xiao'e gently leaned her head on Li Dongyu's back, feeling his body temperature, her heart filled with warmth and peace.

Suddenly, Li Dongyu stopped the car. Lou Xiaoe looked up at Li Dongyu in confusion, with curiosity flashing in her eyes. Li Dongyu smiled, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Lou Xiaoe.

"Xiao E, this is a gift I specially prepared for you." Li Dongyu said gently, with sincere emotion in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e took the box and opened it carefully. Inside was an exquisite necklace with a sparkling star as the pendant. She looked at Li Dongyu in surprise, her eyes full of emotion.

"Do you like it?" Li Dongyu asked softly.

Lou Xiao'e nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. She raised her hand and gently touched the necklace, feeling its smoothness and warmth.

"Thank you, Dongyu." Lou Xiao'e's voice trembled a little, "This gift is so precious."

Li Dongyu smiled and hugged Lou Xiao'e in his arms. "Xiao'e, you are the star in my life. I hope this necklace can always accompany you and remind you of me."

Lou Xiao'e felt warm at heart after hearing this. She put on the necklace and smiled as bright as the stars.

Afterwards, Li Dongyu got on his bike again and continued to ride with Lou Xiaoe in the night. Their figures gradually faded away, leaving behind a string of beautiful memories...

After arriving home, Li Dongyu sent Lou Xiao'e to the door.

"Go to bed early, Xiao'e." Li Dongyu said softly.

"Yeah, you too." Lou Xiao'e responded, her eyes full of reluctance.

The two looked at each other, as if they had a thousand words to say but didn't know how to express them.

Finally, Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the small Western-style building.

Li Dongyu watched her back disappear behind the door, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He knew that this relationship would be a kind of sustenance for him in the Siheyuan world. It was rare to have a chance to cheat, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to pass the test of his own moral system. It was best to do what he wanted. There was no need to be too entangled in anything and to stick to any bottom line. As long as he could measure the standards and find the right degree, it would be fine.

Soon Li Dongyu calmed down and rode his bicycle away from the Lou family building.

Just as Li Dongyu turned to leave, Lou Zhenhua and his wife were standing by a hidden window in the small western-style building, looking at each other helplessly.

"My dear, it seems that our daughter has found her true love. I have asked someone to investigate Li Dongyu. His family background is quite good, which meets our family's standards. Moreover, this young man is very capable and motivated, and there are no problems with his character for the time being. So, you can turn down the blind date with the son of your former nanny to avoid any trouble." Lou Zhenhua's tone was calm, but he could not hide his inner worries.

The wife nodded gently, indicating her agreement: "Okay, Lao Lou. I will find a suitable time to have a good talk with our precious daughter. See if we can arrange a time to invite Li Dongyu to have a meal at home, so that their relationship can be further improved, and by the way, we can put our daughter's marriage on the agenda as soon as possible. After all, that storm is about to set off..."

After hearing this, Lou Zhenhua turned around and returned to his study room silently like a deflated ball, as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Lou Zhenhua walked slowly into the study, staring at the letter he had taken out of the drawer. The handwriting on the envelope was clearly visible, urging him to leave this place as soon as possible. This was advice from his superior friend, warning him that if there was nothing particularly important, it would be best to leave this place as soon as possible. Because the days ahead were full of unknowns, and the evil wind that had been targeting them could strike at any time.

Even his friend with a strong background and strength would find it difficult to protect him, and he might even get into trouble!

Lou Zhenhua knew that time was running out, but he was full of contradictions and reluctance. After all, he had worked hard here for most of his life and put in countless efforts. No matter who it was, it would be difficult to give up all this easily. Moreover, he clearly realized that if he went to a completely new environment, he might not be able to develop as smoothly as he did now. Therefore, even if he had to leave, he hoped that before he left, he could marry his daughter into a worker's family so that she would have a stable home.

In this way, his daughter Lou Xiao'e can live her life in peace. Even if Lou Zhenhua leaves and goes to a place where he is unfamiliar with, she will have nothing to fear. After all, in Lou Zhenhua's heart, his daughter is his most vulnerable weakness.

-------------------------------

Li Dongyu hummed a little tune and rode his bicycle happily back to the gate of the courtyard. He stopped his bike and walked towards the door of his house happily. As soon as he entered the yard, he carefully looked at the seemingly ordinary door of his house, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart - there was no obvious mark left on the door.

However, Li Dongyu was not discouraged. He knew that everything takes time and patience. He firmly believed that as long as he continued to work hard, the self-proclaimed "King of Thieves" would sooner or later be unable to suppress his greed. After all, human nature has desires, but the bait he threw out was not enough to make the other party take the risk.

Li Dongyu, who had nothing to do, shook his head helplessly, turned around and went into the house to wash up and lie down to rest early. At the same time, in Xu Damao's home not far from his home, Xu Damao was sitting with his parents, discussing something important in a low voice...

Mother Xu said to her son with a smile on her face, "Da Mao, let me tell you something! A while ago, the mistress of the Lou family came to talk to me. From her words, it was obvious that she wanted to find a partner for her daughter, and she also hoped that the other party would come from a working-class family. Then, your father and I discussed it carefully. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family! So, you should be careful in the factory during this period of time, don't always flirt with girls, and cut off contact with those wild flowers and weeds you have outside! When the time is right, I will go to the mistress of the Lou family and recommend you to her."

Father Xu also agreed, "Yes, Damao, you have to listen to your mother this time no matter what. The Lou family is one of the directors of your steel mill, and their family background is quite deep. As far as we know, the Lou family has only one precious daughter. As long as we have the opportunity to make you the son-in-law of the Lou family, you can live a life of luxury in this life!"
