Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Xie Xiao sighed.

It's not that he couldn't go, but facing his future father-in-law, he was somewhat afraid of disappointing him.

Moreover, he also had his own company and business to worry about; if he really agreed to Luo Ming's offer, he might end up busier than Luo Yanran.

Xie Xiao felt if both of them were busy, what would become of their relationship?

Qi Yan heard Xie Xiao sigh, and just as they hit some traffic, he simply stopped to wait, "Why the sigh? The traffic is just like this."

Xie Xiao shook his head, "It's not because of the traffic; I'm just reflecting on how busy I might become in the future."

Qi Yan: ...???

He spoke frankly, "You're too idle now; I've never seen you idle among our classmates."

Mainly because this kid could make money even when idle, which was quite irritating.

Xie Xiao laughed, "The good days are over, I guess I'll be busy soon."

His words were true.

Xie Xiao's car had been picked up, but his wife hadn't had the chance to ride in it yet.

Instead, he drove to the airport to pick up his father-in-law.

Luo Yanran was working overtime, so Xie Xiao had to go on his own.

Fortunately, the flight was delayed, so Xie Xiao, who was stuck in traffic, didn't end up being late.

When Xie Xiao picked up Luo Ming, he called out, "Uncle~"

Luo Ming smiled and patted his shoulder, "You've had a tough ride."

This time, Luo Ming did not bring an assistant, and during their conversation, Xie Xiao took his luggage, preparing to take him to the hotel.

Seeing that Xie Xiao had bought an SUV, Luo Ming nodded, "Luoluo likes cars with more space."

Over the years, Luo Ming grew increasingly satisfied with Xie Xiao.

Despite his young age, he was not immature, had a sharp eye for investments, and was decisive in his actions.

He was someone capable of achieving great things; the fact he had earned enough money to buy a car before even graduating was already impressive.

Mainly, this kid gave him hope for retirement!

Previously, due to Luoluo not wanting to take over the family business, Luo Ming felt he wouldn't know when he could retire and spend time with his wife.

But then Xie Xiao came along, and Luo Ming couldn't let him slip away.

Having just heard that this kid had proposed to his daughter, Luo Ming took the time to fly over, with a main goal: get Xie Xiao into the company!

Although Xie Xiao guessed some of his intentions, he didn't expect him to be in such a hurry!

He came right to the point, "Xie Xiao, you've proposed to Luoluo, right? Planning to settle down?"

When asked this by an elder, Xie Xiao still felt somewhat embarrassed, "Yes, Uncle, it has to be Yanran for me."

Luo Ming was very pleased, "In that case, find a time to report to the branch office."

Just... diving straight into the subject with no buffer?

Xie Xiao was momentarily at a loss for words.

Luo Ming didn't intend to let him respond, quickly following up, "You know I only have Luoluo as my daughter, and I can't be at ease without assessing you first."

Hilarious, now he didn't dare refuse.

Who would dare to refuse?

Xie Xiao certainly didn't dare; what was he supposed to say when his father-in-law wanted to assess him, just say "no"?

Xie Xiao couldn't do it.

So Xie Xiao could only agree.

He first took Luo Ming to the hotel and then went to pick up Luo Yanran from work.

Since Xie Xiao had already agreed, Luo Ming didn't press too hard, only saying that they'd talk after he picked up Luoluo and they had dinner together.

Xie Xiao told him to rest at the hotel for a while, and he would come to pick him up for dinner after fetching Luo Yanran.

There was a private dining spot near the hotel that was quite good, and Xie Xiao had already made a reservation in advance.

Now he was off to pick up his wife.

Luo Yanran usually worked overtime, and today was no exception. However, because her father had come to visit, she left as soon as Xie Xiao sent her a message.

The law firm had officially closed for the day, yet many people were still busy at work.

The place was very quiet; everyone was immersed in their own tasks.

Only a few interns noticed Luo Yanran's departure, and they silently waved goodbye to each other.

Many people would find such an environment oppressive, but Luo Yanran quite liked it.

She was naturally not fond of bustling places; this environment suited her well.

A work environment fitting for Luo Yan's constitution.

As Luo Yanran descended the stairs, she passed many white-collar workers just getting off work.

Exhaustion was written on every face.

In this business building, every company was busy.

So were the people.

Luo Yanran had thought about what she wanted to do in the future.

She had initially believed that being a lawyer, like her grandfather, would be occasionally busy but also allow time for rest and study.

But as Luo Yanran grew up, she realized that many people could never reach the heights her grandfather had attained.

After all, it was too difficult for a lawyer to become an ever-victorious general in the field.

There's always someone better, always a higher mountain.

Not everyone can become "Master Luo."

Nevertheless, Luo Yanran worked very hard. She didn't want to be recognized later only for people to comment, "She's not as great as her grandfather, is she?"

She couldn't disgrace her grandfather.

Parking here was not easy; Xie Xiao could only find a temporary spot. He didn't dare to get out of the car casually and could only wait.

A young girl was selling baskets of flowers among the owners of the temporarily parked cars.

Occasionally, someone would buy them, adding a touch of romance to their busy lives.

When she reached Xie Xiao's car, he looked at the basket, now with fewer flowers, and asked, "How many are left?"

The roses were individually wrapped. The girl counted and responded, "Sir, there are 11 left."

Xie Xiao reached for the prettiest one and placed it on the passenger seat. Then he said, "I'll take all of them. Can you do me a favor?"

His eyes were gentle, making the girl, who was just in junior or senior high school, blush slightly.

She nodded softly.

Then she saw this gentleman pick out the most beautiful flower from the remaining ones.

After selecting it, he pulled out his phone, opened a photo, and said, "Go across the street and wait for this girl to appear, then give her this flower. You can keep selling the rest or give them away to others."

The photo showed a pair posing together; the girl in it was indeed very pretty.

The young vendor couldn't help but admire, "You two make a great couple."

Xie Xiao smiled happily and, while scanning the payment QR code, he gave the girl an extra 20 yuan.

Consider it a delivery fee.

As Luo Yanran left the building, she saw a young girl handing out flowers.

She took a closer look, and the girl's eyes lit up.

Rushing over, the girl pulled out a beautiful rose and said, "This is for you, pretty sister."

Luo Yanran was surprised but accepted it, "Thank you. Consider it a purchase. I'll pay you."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But the young girl waved her hand, "No need, a gentleman has already paid for it. It's a romantic gift for his loved one."

After saying that, the girl walked away.

Luo Yanran thought the gentleman must be a very romantic person.

His loved one must be very happy.

Yet, this little interlude had significantly lifted her spirits.

Even her footsteps felt lighter.
