[Song recommendation: Jimin BTS - Serendipity.]

    I sat in the car, and the Old driver went out of the villa. I watched Meng Bao, who still standing at the door, "Ah, I can''t believe we are actually going to marry."

    The thought hit me hard as I drove through the long mountainous road back to my apartment. The old driver looked at me through the rearview mirror and then chuckled, "Miss Shi is going to be the next Madam Yang after Madam Evelynn Yang. Please remember that Young Master also adopted a westernized view, so he would want you to take his family name. Just like what Madam Evelynn Yang did."

    "Her real name was Evelynn Lu, but because both of them adopted a westernized view, Madam Evelynn Yang decided to take Mr. Yang''s surname."

    I was thinking about it for a moment. Honestly, I didn''t plan on adopting Meng Bao''s surname because it wasn''t really my tradition. My family was quite matriarchal, as in, my mother was in charge of many things, more than my father.

    And my father generally followed what my mother wanted, as long as it didn''t harm anyone. It might be because we had the blood of women warriors in the past and that groom-kidnapping tradition that was well kept within my family and a few other families in the village.

    "I will think about it later," I said to the Old Uncle driver.

    After we arrived at my apartment, I thanked him for driving me back and forth. He turned his head to look at me and said, "Miss Shi Ying, please give Young Master the life that he wished for so long. He has been waiting to be with you for fifteen years, and he has searched for you as well."

    "Please don''t break his heart. He is a little psycho, but he loves you so much, Miss Shi Ying," he said.

    "I won''t break his heart, don''t worry. I should be the one who got worried instead. He is literally a dream bachelor for many women. It''s just my luck that he chose me instead."

    The old driver smiled mysteriously, "I don''t think there is something about luck in love, Miss Shi Ying. Maybe you think that Young Master and you have met back then all by chance and luck. But as a senior…."

    "… I call it serendipity."

    "Serendipity…" that term permeated in my brain. I didn''t know what that word meant, but the old driver helped me by explaining it.

    "Serendipity is a phenomenon when fate played its part, even to the simplest thing, such as finding a coin in your old jacket. It''s that unpredictable occurrence leading to happiness."

    "Just like you two, fate plays its part by meeting you and the one you loved even though you might''ve given you searching or waiting for your loved one."

    "Young Master has been searching for you for years. He fulfilled his promise to be so wealthy, all for you. He also fulfilled his promise to keep searching for you, his Batman Jie, even though he has lost hope every time he met a dead end."

    "Meanwhile you… Miss Shi Ying, you have been waiting for your Mengmeng for fifteen years. You might not realize it, but the reason why you can''t find a boyfriend, let alone a husband candidate, is because you''re subconsciously putting all your hope for Mengmeng. Even though you''ve lost your hope to ever meet him again."

    "You two are threaded by fate," the old driver looked at my finger and smiled. "Just like the red string of fate threaded you back to him. Isn''t it a good love story?"

    I was stunned when the Old driver explained many things that should''ve been kept a secret between Meng Bao and me only. There was no way he could know about all these.

    "Pardon, but how could—"

    "I think it''s best for you to leave the car, Miss Shi Ying. I still have to help Young Master. He is all alone in that mansion," the old Uncle driver interrupted my question.

    I also got the signal that he didn''t want to get questioned either. Thus, I took a deep breath and bowed my head respectfully at the Old Driver.

    "Thank you for helping Meng Bao and me to get together."

    "Hm? What are you saying, Miss? I''m just an old driver of Young Master Yang. I just want the best for both of you."

    "Thank you for everything!" I said wholeheartedly before I left the car. I watched the car from the side, and the Old driver rolled the window down.

    "Are you happy, Miss Shi Ying?"

    "Yes…"

    "Then everything is well. I''m happy that I''ve done my part. Good night, and Goodbye, Miss Shi Ying."

    The old driver drove the car down the road, and I could only watch him from afar. I subconsciously caressed the finger where the engagement ring and the red string of fate stayed at the same place, my ring finger.

    The reason why I thanked that old driver… was because of the red string of fate. I had the feeling that the old man wasn''t just a regular driver. He might look like one, but he was far from it.

    "Could it be… Yue Lao''s intervention?" I thought. Yue Lao, the god that managed the red string of fate between two lovers…

    "Maybe that old driver is Yue Lao helping Meng Bao and me to get together…."

    I didn''t know the exact reason, but I just bowed my head again to the empty street out of respect and said, "Thank you, Generous God, I will be using this opportunity that you give to me. I will prove that Meng Bao and I will be a good family in the future."

    I returned to my room and then took a bath immediately. I had to prepare to work tomorrow.

    My head kept repeating the word ''Serendipity'' over and over.

    "Serendipity, from a simple Rent A Boyfriend application, I met my long-lost love, and now we will going to marry soon."

    I stared at the red circle on my ring finger and then kissed it, "Thank you, the red string that leads me to him."
