It’s nearly Friday!


    To prepare for her departure to New York, ine woke up bright and early, eager to pack her suitcases.


    Now, she was already on the brink of heading home.


    Finally, the afternoon arrived. After ire finished her sses, Charlie picked up ine and retrieved ire from the school gate. Together, the three of them set off for New York.


    ording to Charlie’s n, they would reach New York on Friday night. He intended to take ine out to explore the vibrant nightlife, including a visit to the Statue of Liberty. The following day, Saturday, would be filled with sightseeing, while Sunday would be dedicated to shopping. Before ine’s afternoon flight, they would ensure she got to the airport on time.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    For ine, although her time in the United States was brief, it still felt like a significant journey. She was excited to pick up some local souvenirs and specialties from New York.


    As they drove to New York, ine settled into the back seat, pulled out her phone, and sent a message to Ste, letting her know of her arrival that night.


    Ste quickly responded with a voice message. To keep it private from Charlie and his daughter, ine converted the voice to text.


    The message read: “ine, during your time in New York, I had nned to treat you to a wonderful meal and show you around. However, since you’re heading back to China soon, I’ve found myself quite busy with many things to wrap up here. I apologize for that… But let’s n to meet after you arrive on Hong Kong Ind. I have a vi on Shixun Road, and I would love for you to spend a few days there with me. This way, I can y the gracious host, and you can enjoy some fun before returning to the maind.”


    As ine read the text, she initially felt a hint of disappointment with the first half. However, her excitement quickly returned with thetter part of the message.<fn8fe3> For original chapters go to find?novel</fn8fe3>


    She couldn’t help but think, “I’ve grown up so much, yet I’ve never visited Hong Kong Ind. This time, I’ll only have a shortyover. Since there’s such a fantastic opportunity, why not spend a few days there? Plus, Ste has the means to treat me, so I wouldn’t mind at all…”


    With that thought in mind, she eagerly agreed and responded, “Sure! I don’t have any pressing matters back home, so why not enjoy a few days on Hong Kong Ind? I hope it won’t be too much trouble for you.”


    Ste replied quickly, “With Sister Jovie’s connection, you’re always wee. But let’s hold off on details until we meet at the airport—there’s a lot to discuss!”


    “Sounds good!” ine happily replied, then turned to Charlie, feigning curiosity. “Oh, by the way, good son-inw, didn’t you just return from Hong Kong Ind? Do you know where Shixun Road is?”


    Charlie looked surprised and asked, “Mom, why are you suddenly interested in that?”


    ine fabricated a response, “I saw a friend mention it on social media, saying it’s quite famous. I didn’t know much about it, so I thought I’d ask you.”


    Charlie, not suspecting anything, casually replied, “Shixun Road is a luxurious residential area on Hong Kong Ind. The most expensive properties in Hong Kong are located there, inhabited by some of the wealthiest individuals.”


    “Wow!” ine eximed upon hearing this. “That ce sounds amazing!”
