With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

"male……"

Before Shen Jingjing could react, she saw her daughter hurrying towards the door.

Tang Song was wearing a brown overcoat, still carrying the chill of the outside air. He had just taken off his shoes and put on slippers when he looked up and saw Shen Ci standing in front of him.

His eyes immediately warmed: "It smells so good, did you cook?"

As he spoke, his handsome face leaned forward, as if he were about to kiss him.

As a result, Shen Ci raised her hand and pushed his face to the side. Tang Song blinked in confusion, and then heard Shen Ci whisper, "My mother is here!"

Tang Song was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but his expression brightened with joy: "Auntie is here?"

"Aci, why won't you let people in?"

Shen Jingjing was getting impatient and very curious. She craned her neck and peered towards the door, but her daughter didn't bring her in for a long time, so she couldn't help but urge her.

Tang Song looked at Shen Ci, his initial joy turning into calm. He tentatively asked, "Do you want me to see you? Or should I leave first?"

He remembered what Shen Ci had said: a relationship is a matter between two people, and she didn't want to deal with unnecessary interpersonal relationships, such as his family relationships.

He had always respected Shen Ci's ideas, which was why he directly asked for Shen Ci's opinion. However, when he asked, there was still obvious expectation and a little nervousness in his eyes.

Shen Ci rarely saw him with such an expression, so she couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, come in."

It was her own thought and wish that she did not want to meet Tang Song's family, and Tang Song respected that.

Tang Song clearly wanted to see his mother at this moment, and Shen Ci was willing to respect Tang Song's wishes. The two people's wishes were completely independent, and Shen Ci would not impose her own standards on others.

When Tang Song heard that Shen Ci was willing to let him meet her mother, his eyes lit up. He took Shen Ci's hand and, with a mix of composure and trepidation, crossed the threshold into the living room, where he saw Shen Jingjing standing up in the dining room.

"Mom, my boyfriend is Tang Song."

"Hello, Auntie!" Tang Song felt his face go numb as soon as he opened his mouth. Meeting Shen Ci's mother for the first time in his life was an unexpected and overwhelming experience for him.

But he was tall and slender, and because of his profession, he had a proper posture and an exceptionally handsome appearance. Shen Jingjing was immediately struck by his striking good looks.

What a fine young man!

"Hello, hello." Shen Jingjing greeted her warmly, "You've come at the perfect time. Auntie just cooked a whole table of food. Go wash your hands and eat with us."

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early," Tang Song nodded with a smile, glanced at Shen Ci, and then took off his coat and went to the restroom.

Shen Jingjing quickly moved closer to her daughter: "Didn't you say you broke up with your boyfriend? Did you get back together, or did you find someone new?"

My daughter had told me before that she had dated a male classmate in college, but they broke up before National Day.

“He’s new, we just talked to him not long ago, he’s a policeman,” Shen Ci told the truth.

Shen Jingjing was overjoyed to hear this: "Police officers are great! This kid looks so upright and good-looking too."

Since it was her chosen boyfriend, her mother was full of praise, which naturally made Shen Ci happy.

"Of course, your daughter has very high standards, especially when it comes to looks, she absolutely cannot be sloppy."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing gave her daughter a reproachful look: "Then character is more important, but this child doesn't seem too bad."

"Auntie, did you just arrive today? When I video chatted with Aci yesterday, she didn't mention that you were coming." Tang Song dried his hands and came out, looking at Shen Jingjing and asking casually.

Shen Ci interrupted, "I was notified at the last minute. She had already landed when she called me to say she had arrived in Longcheng, so I quickly drove to pick her up."

Shen Jingjing smiled shyly: "I know how to take the subway, so I didn't mean to trouble Aci. Please sit down and eat, it will get cold soon."

After taking her seat, Shen Ci remembered to ask Tang Song, "Why did you suddenly come here? I didn't tell you I was at home."

"I didn't know you were home," Tang Song explained. "I was running some errands nearby and had a long meeting this afternoon, so I thought I'd come over for a nap. When I opened the door, I saw two pairs of shoes by the door, so I guessed you were home."

Tang Song was allowed to come to the house at will by Shen Ci. She didn't come back to live in the house often, but Tang Song would come over occasionally.

"Child, Aci said you're a police officer? So you went to a police academy?" Shen Jingjing couldn't help but ask curiously.

Tang Song sat up straight and nodded quickly upon hearing this: "Yes, Auntie, I graduated from the China Public Security University."

Shen Ci added to her mother, "This is the best police academy in our country."

Shen Jingjing wore a satisfied, motherly smile; it was truly a case of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law with increasing delight.

"So you're a local from Longcheng?"

"Correct."

“That’s a northerner’s taste. Auntie made dishes from Shenzhen and Hong Kong today. I don’t know if they’ll suit your taste,” Shen Jingjing said.

Upon hearing this, Tang Song looked at Shen Ci and smiled slightly: "Auntie, I'm not a picky eater, and I like Shenzhen and Hong Kong cuisine. What you made looks delicious, so I'll definitely eat more of it."

Not only was he handsome, but he was also very eloquent. Shen Jingjing had an excellent first impression of Tang Song.

Shen Ci glanced at him, thinking to herself that he usually acted serious and unsmiling at the police station, but he was quite adept at flattering elders.

However, she was happy as long as her mother was happy. Although she had never thought of taking the initiative to let her mother meet her boyfriend, she was not opposed to the unexpected encounter, as long as Tang Song was willing.

Now it seems he's very willing!

The meal was very pleasant and natural. After the meal, Tang Song insisted on cleaning up and washing the dishes, wanting to make a good impression on Shen Jingjing.

Looking at Tang Song's retreating figure in the kitchen, Shen Jingjing was extremely satisfied and couldn't help but tell her daughter, "This child is quite good. You should treat him well. This trip wasn't in vain, as I even got to meet your boyfriend."

She couldn't help but glare at her daughter with a reproachful look: "You too, you've got a new boyfriend and you're keeping it so tight-lipped? You haven't let a word out!"

Shen Ci smiled helplessly: "Mom, I didn't plan to make a big fuss about dating, it's not like we're getting married."

"But Mom has to know too."

"Don't you know now?"

Shen Jingjing slapped her daughter in dissatisfaction: "Didn't I catch you? Otherwise, you might have kept it from me for much longer."

Shen Ci shook her head speechlessly and looked at Tang Song from afar. With Tang Song's qualities in all aspects, he was definitely the best son-in-law in the eyes of the elders.

But she herself didn't have such long-term vision. Right now, her mother was extremely satisfied with Tang Song, and she was afraid that if she broke up with Tang Song in the future, her mother would be shocked.
