After six years together, I had always affectionately referred to him as "Lance." Even in moments of fluster or frustration, I'd never used his full name. I hesitated, then softened my tone. "Lance."

Finally, he released the document and regarded me with a teasing smirk. "Still don't like your company's projects, huh? I was just trying to help you review the plan. But if you’re not interested, fine."

He stood up, his posture shifted to one of playful authority. "Get ready. I'm taking you out for a walk!"

As he headed for the door, he paused and turned back, his brow furrowing slightly. "Have your parents set a time to come over yet?"

Landon and I had planned to get married, and he was supposed to visit my parents soon. However, he had declined multiple times due to his hectic schedule at the company. To avoid making me feel embarrassed, my parents had taken the initiative to visit him instead. Despite this, Landon had never set a date for our parents to meet, leaving the whole arrangement hanging in limbo.

When he asked about it now, I stifled a sarcastic smile. "It's a busy farming season at home, so they can't come for the time being."
