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

Xie Xiao watched as she appeared in his line of sight, a smile on her lips and flowers in her hand.

Luo Yanran knew today was the day he was picking up the car, which they had chosen together, and she also knew the license plate number.

So she stood by the roadside, glanced around, and quickly locked onto Xie Xiao's direction.

Xie Xiao waved his hand, and Luo Yanran quickly walked over.

Holding the rose, she opened the car door, her voice still tinged with laughter, "I just ran into a little girl..."

She saw the rose on the passenger seat.

The packaging was the same as the one in her hand.

She then recalled what the little girl had said.

Was Xie Xiao the one who bought romance for his love?

Luo Yanran's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xie Xiao reached out to take the flower from the seat, his voice still with a touch of laughter, "What? What's wrong with running into a little girl?"

After Luo Yanran got in the car and closed the door, he deliberately feigned surprise, "Hey? The flower in your hand looks like mine~"

Luo Yanran, with a full face of smiling eyes, looked at Xie Xiao, "Really? What a coincidence, I just ran into a little girl selling flowers, so I bought one."

The expression on Xie Xiao's face stiffened, "Huh?"

His gaze fell on Luo Yanran's hand, surely the little girl hadn't...

She charged double the price?

Was the flower bought by Ranran?

From his expression, Luo Yanran could now confirm that Mr. Xie Xiao was indeed the man preparing the romantic surprise for his love.

Sweet bubbles popped up in her heart, and she took the initiative to hug a stiff-faced Xie Xiao, her voice still playful, "I was just teasing you, it was a gift from the little girl. I really like it."

"I was just envying which gentleman was preparing this romance for his love. Knowing it's you, I'm even happier."

With that, she landed a gentle kiss on Xie Xiao's lips.

This was a rare instance of Luo Yanran taking the initiative, and Xie Xiao was definitely seizing the opportunity.

He hugged her close, placing a hand on Luo Yanran's waist, as their breathing in the confined space became somewhat ambiguous and tense.

There was an added sense of secret thrill.

After all, they were parked at the roadside.

It wasn't until Xie Xiao's hand uncontrollably caressed Luo Yanran's leg that she snapped back to reality.

They were at a temporary parking spot on the roadside! And her father was waiting for them to have dinner.

So she held back Xie Xiao's hand, her face flushed, her voice trembling, "Stop, we're outside, and dad is waiting for us to eat..."

Xie Xiao's breath was heavy as he buried his face in Luo Yanran's shoulder, panting, "... give me a moment."

Yeah, he did need time to cool off.

After all, they hadn't been intimate for a while now.

Xie Xiao had indeed nearly lost control in that moment.

Even now, he couldn't help but turn his face to let soft kisses land on her slender neck, or her cheek.

Luo Yanran shuddered uncontrollably with every kiss he planted.

Xie Xiao felt it, and finally laughed.

He looked up at her face, so flushed, her eyes watery, and her lipstick had been kissed off by him, making her lips look a bit swollen...

Xie Xiao reached out to gently wipe her red lips, "It's prettier than the lipstick you put on this morning."

The color naturally matched her blushing face.

Luo Yanran glared at him, pulled his hand down and gently bit it on his palm.

It was right on the tiger's mouth, and her voice was still a bit muffled, "That's for talking nonsense!"

Xie Xiao looked at her with a smile in his eyes, watching her bluster. If she had dared to bite down hard, it would have looked more convincing.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.

Xie Xiao reached out and gently pinched her face, "Have you calmed down?"

Luo Yanran couldn't bring herself to bite hard, and in the end, she released her teeth.

She glanced and saw there was at least a small mark left on her hand. Good, she was satisfied.

She gave Xie Xiao a smile, looking obedient, "I've let off my steam."

Watching her like this, where was the presence of Lawyer Luo who was so formidable outside? She clearly still had a silly air about her.

He couldn't help but lean over to give her a kiss and then pulled the seat belt from behind to fasten it for her, "Shall we go have dinner with Uncle now?"

"Sure, I think I haven't seen Dad for two months..." Luo Yanran's voice was light and cheerful, it was evident she was in a good mood.

Xie Xiao's eyes sparkled with amusement, and after starting the car, he placed the rose that he had brought along on her lap, "Here's a little surprise I prepared for you. It might not be a complete success, but it still made you happy, so let's call it a half-success, shall we?"

After all, he had been deceived by her for a moment, so it definitely wasn't a full success.

The car drove off.

Luo Yanran's voice rose gently, with a laugh, "Who says it's not a success? I'm super happy~"

The corners of Xie Xiao's mouth lifted slightly, "I'm super happy too."

Your happiness is my happiness.

The two of them still ended up in traffic.

The route they took wasn't exactly a main thoroughfare.

But in City B, traffic jams seemed to be the norm. Even at this time of day, the subway stations would be crowded with people.

By the time they got to the hotel, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Fortunately, Luo Ming didn't seem surprised at all and even started talking about the traffic with them.

The private restaurant had reserved a private room in advance, so they could go straight in upon arrival.

But seeing people outside waiting for a table, it was evident the place was doing good business.

Xie Xiao had never been to this restaurant before, but Qi Yan said it was delicious.

It was probably to the extent that he chose this place for five out of his seven blind dates.

Then it must be really delicious.

After ordering dishes, Luo Yanran started talking to Luo Ming about work and life.

Their father-daughter relationship had grown very good, and upon getting to know him, she realized that Luo Ming just had a stern face.

In this, she was a bit like Luo Yanran. Fundamentally, they both had unexpectedly good temperaments and very stable emotions.

Whenever Luo Yanran shared her troubles, he would always listen patiently before slowly analyzing and expressing his opinions.

Especially when he noticed that Luo Yanran was always afraid of not doing well and tarnishing her grandfather's reputation, Luo Ming laughed, "You think too much. You are you, and Grandpa is Grandpa; you're naturally different. You don't need to be too nervous. And who told you that your grandfather never lost a case? That's an exaggeration."

Luo Ming's voice carried a reassuring chuckle, "It's just that your grandfather became formidable later on. Those unimportant cases he lost seemed to have been overlooked by people, but nobody wins all the time. Don't push yourself too hard."

Luo Yanran acknowledged with an "Oh."

Xie Xiao, sitting beside them, poured a cup of tea for everyone, "I've said the same thing, but she still gets very nervous. Lately, she's been working so much she forgets everything, and I have to call to remind her to eat on time."

He took the chance to tattle on her.

Sure enough, Luo Yanran stealthily glared at him.

Luo Ming frowned, clearly not approving, "Your health is the capital of revolution, you can't neglect it, okay?"

Luo Yanran obediently nodded her head, "I know, Dad. I'll be careful from now on."

At that moment, Luo Ming spoke up, "Moreover, Xie Xiao will probably be too busy to remind you every day before long. He's going to start being busy too."
