On a Southern autumn evening, atop Dragon Mountain, it's still cool without being cold.

The sunset is indescribably beautiful, with the mountain breeze carrying the scent of flowers.

Sitting in this infinitely serene courtyard, Liu Zhizhong and Xiang Wenhua's dinner has already begun.

To prevent any mishaps, the security here remains strict, yet the atmosphere in the courtyard is not oppressive at all.

Near the pond in the courtyard, the two sit at a luxurious marble table, enjoying the gourmet food and wine, and smoking exquisite cigars.

The two of them belong to the refined type, disliking forceful exertion and pursuing controlled moderation—stability is key!

So, they eat slowly, drink slowly. The conversation flows slowly too, mutually resonating and recognizing each other as confidants.

Liu Zhizhong even feels quite fortunate to have such a father-in-law, considering it a great fate.

Whether he and the future Xiang Qingqing become a couple is uncertain, but his bond with Xiang Wenhua is firmly established.

With the company of two beautiful women attending to them, the experience is quite enjoyable.

Over these days, Liu Zhizhong has come to know the beautiful chef and her assistant are cousins, hehe...

Whenever Xiang Wenhua has needs, they can provide. Xiang Wenhua conducts his affairs without shortchanging anyone, you know.

When the time is about right, the two women start playing with their phones on the side, while Liu Zhizhong and Xiang Wenhua have had their fill of food and drink.

Blowing out a gentle smoke, Liu Zhizhong softly says, "My dear father-in-law, I have two confidants in my life! The first one..."

Before he could finish, Xiang Wenhua, with an air of mystery in his expression, cuts in, "It's a female confidant, the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Xiaoyue, right?"

"Uh..." Liu Zhizhong is momentarily stunned; Xiang Wenhua indeed has a strong ability to read minds and grasp information!

He can only smile, nodding, "Yes, you're right! Miss Feng and I are truly confidants. As for my second confidant, can you guess?"

Xiang Wenhua extinguishes his cigarette and shakes his head, saying, "That's a tough one to guess, surely it can't be me?"

"Haha... precisely so!" Liu Zhizhong bursts into laughter.

Xiang Wenhua is momentarily stunned, then smiles in relief, "You lad, calling your father-in-law a confidant, you've really got a way, truly a way!"

"Indeed, I don't care how you see me; I care how I see you. Interacting and connecting with you is relaxed and pleasant, orderly and disciplined; it feels like being with a confidant."

Such words make one feel deeply understood, and even Xiang Wenhua feels quite pleased.

Xiang Wenhua smiles, saying, "Well-spoken, not bad. In my heart, you're a rare young person worth engaging and befriending deeply in this world. If you say we're confidants, that sounds about right! Come, I'm delighted to have a confidant like you."

With that, Xiang Wenhua raises his glass in a toast.

Naturally, Liu Zhizhong joyfully accepts the toast, and together they drink it down in one go.

Actually, by this time, he had already made up his mind internally.

Well then, it's time to speak when it's time, sigh...

So, Liu Zhizhong fills the glasses for himself and his dear father-in-law, saying, "My two confidants, a man and a woman, are so well matched! Yet, alas, things don't always go as planned, leaving it somewhat imperfect. Let's speak of things that shouldn't be said; Mr. Zheng Sanjing has already passed on, leaving Miss Feng single as well. Dear father-in-law, isn't it time for you to take action? I truly hope for you two to become a match made in heaven, perfectly harmonious!"
