Lin Yan pulled out a lighter from her bag, rolled down the car window halfway, and lit a cigarette. The crimson glow of the flame flickered on and off in the dimly lit interior of the car.
"My parents should know who you are by now, I mean, if they try to find you alone, you can refuse to meet with them. I want to save myself some face." Lin Yan's apricot eyes looked obscurely at the high-rise buildings receding outside the window.
"Is that possible?" Lu Chenyuan, with one hand on the steering wheel, pondered, "Why avoid it? You're my woman as well as their daughter—this relationship can't be shaken off; don't overthink it."
"Can't be shaken off, huh?" Lin Yan's red lips parted slightly, a self-deprecating smile on her face: "Being my man is too hard, maybe breaking up at first was the right choice. Who wouldn't want a peaceful life? Getting involved with this whole family is pretty bad luck."
