Chapter 227 You're quite the dark horse, aren't you?
Who could stand that? Support! Xie Xiao could support for a lifetime!
In the end, the obedient person who was pressed in the bathtub was bullied again before being carried out, soft and pliant.
By the time Xie Xiao had tidied up the bedroom and bathroom, it was already eleven at night.
After he had finished tidying up, he got into bed and hugged Luo Yanran, "Do you like all the gifts?"
"I like them," Luo Yanran said without a second thought, "But it's a bit inconvenient to wear the bracelet and anklet to work, so I've set them aside. I'll wear them when I'm not working."
She pointed to her neck, "I wear the necklace every day."
As she spoke, she also blinked with full eyes of expectancy, looking at Xie Xiao. She had mentioned a ring before, Xie Xiao should remember, right?
After all, Xie Xiao always took to heart every word she said casually.
But this time she was somewhat disappointed.
Because it seemed like Xie Xiao really did not take it seriously, only saying, "That's good, let's sleep. Don't you have to work tomorrow?"
Luo Yanran felt a bit disappointed inside, but still lay down with an "oh" and said, "Turn off the lights."
After Xie Xiao turned off the lights, the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly.
Of course, he couldn't have forgotten, and he knew what her expectant look just now was for.
In fact, before Ranran had even mentioned wanting a ring, Xie Xiao had already, through the connection with Qi Yan, found someone to custom make a ring.
The design was all his own, and he had personally chosen the diamond as well.
Calculating the time, it was about right to go pick it up.
For the proposal, Xie Xiao had thought about it for a very long time.
He was originally planning to consider it after graduation.
But that day, while chatting with Qi Yan, they talked about one of his high school classmates, who had started dating his girlfriend in high school. In reality, they had been together for almost seven years.
But the boy hadn't given it much thought, feeling that they were still young, and as a result, the girl wanted to break up.
She said that the boy had never really considered their future.
The boy felt wronged. How could he not have considered it?
Isn't it just that they hadn't graduated from university yet?
But the way boys and girls think is really different.
The girl saw that after seven years, he still hadn't made any commitment.
Anyway, now the boy is pursuing her again. After telling the story, Qi Yan even teased Xie Xiao, "What about you? You've been together quite a while too, right?"
Xie Xiao knew that Luo Yanran certainly wouldn't be like that girl, wanting to break up at the slightest disagreement.
But he still took it to heart. It turns out that the way boys and girls think is indeed quite different, and the angles from which they view things are also different.
So, after consulting with Liu Ou, Xie Xiao began to prepare.
And then, a few days ago, her offhand remark confirmed for Xie Xiao how fortunate he was to have prepared.
Now it was only a matter of arranging the venue.
Xie Xiao stretched out his hand and stroked Luo Yanran's hair. Don't worry, everything you want, as long as I have it, I will give it to you.
In the following two days, Xie Xiao became even busier than Luo Yanran.
Although Luo Yanran felt a sense of loss, it quickly passed.
Because she was indeed busy and, strictly speaking, they were really still young.
But there was, in fact, a lump in her heart.
Hmm, how to put it? Girls always tend to mind certain things more.
Saturday arrived quickly, and Luo Yanran unexpectedly did not have to work overtime.
But Xie Xiao, unusually, stayed late at the office.
He left the house just after eight in the morning.
In between, the two did have contact over WeChat.
But Xie Xiao seemed to be very busy, replying intermittently.
So Luo Yanran decided to go pick him up from his office after reviewing her case files in the afternoon,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She even sent a message to Xie Xiao when she left, but he didn't reply.
The truth was that Xie Xiao was not at the office at that moment.
He had rented a garden yard in the suburbs, and this was going to be the place where he proposed.
At this moment, he was squatting here with Qi Yan and a group of workers.
Yes, the yard was rented from Qi Yan.
One can only say this guy is really rich.
Qi Yan looked at the yard full of flowers, "Isn't it a bit tacky, big brother?"
"Huh?" Xie Xiao was a bit lost, to be honest. Having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time he was seriously in a relationship; he really had no experience.
Looking at the yard full of roses, "Tacky?"
It had cost quite a bit of money. Girls should like flowers, right?
Qi Yan stroked his chin, "Actually, it's not bad, but it lacks originality."
Xie Xiao glanced at him, "There is a little originality, actually."
Qi Yan raised his eyebrow at him, "Like what, for example?"
But Xie Xiao just shushed him, without intending to explain.
However, at this moment, two workers came in carrying a piano.
Xie Xiao: ...
Qi Yan: ...???
"You mean, you can play the piano?"
His tone was full of disbelief.
This kid had a hidden talent?
Exhaling helplessly, Xie Xiao vaguely said, "I studied for a while."
In fact, it wasn't just for a while. He had learned from the age of five until junior high school.
He had won quite a few awards, but later Xie Xiao realized that he really wasn't interested in it.
His family was quite open-minded, and although they thought it was a pity, they respected Xie Xiao's choice.
Xie Xiao's family even had a piano. Luo Yanran had seen it, but she had thought it was Yang Lan who played it.
Because Yang Lan did occasionally play a couple of songs.
It never crossed her mind that Xie Xiao could.
Because when she had asked before, Xie Xiao told her that he had learned for two years and wasn't very good at it.
He had said that jokingly at the time, but Luo Yanran had believed him, so he never explained further.
Now, this hidden skill would come in handy.
Since it had been discovered, Xie Xiao didn't plan on keeping it hidden, "I haven't played for a long time, my wife doesn't even know..."
As he was speaking, he stood up and went over to the other side to grab a phone.
The proposal was set for tomorrow, yes, because Lin Yu and Liu Ou were also arriving tomorrow.
Originally he felt that today, being Saturday, would be more appropriate, but Lin Yu had quite an important class, and the flowers were also delayed, so it had to be tomorrow...
Xie Xiao picked up his phone and blurted out, "Damn," his wife had gone to the company to look for him!
Xie Xiao quickly dragged Qi Yan with him, "My wife is looking for me, remember to say I was out on business with you, ah!"
Qi Yan, being dragged by him, said helplessly as they walked, "The two of us look like we're having an affair... quite bizarre..."
But in the end, they went back together.
By the time Xie Xiao arrived downstairs at the company, Luo Yanran had already been waiting for a while.
She felt that something was off.
Especially upon seeing Xie Xiao and Qi Yan walk over together, with Xie Xiao obviously in somewhat of a hurry.
"Have you been waiting long?" Xie Xiao reached out and took her hand, his voice apologetic, "I didn't notice."
Qi Yan also came over and called out, "Sister-in-law."
Luo Yanran smiled and responded, "Hello."
As the two of them got closer, she weirdly smelled the same scent on both of them.
This was not the scent of the shower gel from home.
Luo Yanran slightly frowned; considering Xie Xiao's recent busyness, and now this unfamiliar scent on him...
Seeing her frown, Xie Xiao couldn't help but reach out and lightly press her brow center, "What's the matter?"
