Yuchen, behind the wheel, occasionally stole glances at Elena, seated next to him in a stunning knee-length, crimson dress. Tonight, she exuded elegance and beauty that left him captivated.
"Are you nervous?" Yuchen asked, a small smile gracing his lips as he shifted his gaze from the road to Elena. He aimed to break the silence that had enveloped the car.
Elena, absorbed in her cellphone for work, replied without looking up. "Not really," she said, her voice tinged with ease.
"Really?" Yuchen mused, his eyes returning to the road ahead. "I thought you might be nervous about meeting my parents," he continued.
Last week, they had traveled to South Korea to meet Elena's parents, and now it was Elena's turn to meet Yuchen's parents for the first time.
Yuchen had anticipated that Elena might be nervous, just as he had been the previous week.
