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

Lin Yu's marriage proposal news was something Xie Xiao found out about the next day.

It was mainly because he had gone to bed early the night before.

As a result, when he got up the next day, he saw that this guy had posted in his Moments at one or two in the morning, just a pair of hands wearing rings.

Xie Xiao thought to himself, this isn't right, eh? Didn't he just ask me yesterday for the contact of that custom ring studio?

How come today he's showing off a ring?

And isn't this ring a bit too plain?

So Xie Xiao sent a message to ask about it.

The result was being stuffed a mouthful of dog food directly, "This is the ring my wife bought to propose to me, does it look good?"

Xie Xiao: ????

What the hell?

It's his wife who proposed?

Xie Xiao immediately replied, "Lin Yu, can you even? Why is it your wife proposing?"

The response on the other side was incredibly quick, "Look at you, green with jealousy."

Xie Xiao: ????

Alright then, I admit there's a bit of that.

Why is it that this lad got a proposal from his own wife?

He couldn't even imagine how happy he'd be.

So Luo Yanran, who had just finished washing up, saw Xie Xiao sitting on the bed staring at his phone, motionless. She had already changed clothes and was ready to go to work.

Seeing Xie Xiao sitting still, she asked, "What's up? You're awake but not getting out of bed?"

Xie Xiao looked up at Luo Yanran, "I'm chatting with Lin Yu. Last night, Liu Ou proposed to him."

Luo Yanran wasn't surprised at all, "I know, Hai Ou even gave me a call before the proposal."

She had just finished speaking when she saw Xie Xiao silently staring at her and then raising his phone, showing her a message from Lin Yu sent deliberately to show off, "No way? No way? Has anyone not received a ring from their own wife?"

Luo Yanran was taken aback, then somewhat amused.

She walked over and took Xie Xiao's phone out of his hand, sending a voice message directly, "Lin Yu, don't bully my Xie Xiao so early in the morning."

My Xie Xiao.

Good, Lin Yu fell silent on the other end.

A guy backed by his wife is untouchable, untouchable indeed.

Xie Xiao's mouth curved up slightly, easily satisfied.

Luo Yanran handed his phone back to him, then reached out to ruffle his hair.

The gesture was a bit like petting a cat or dog.

"I'm heading out," Luo Yanran said as she bent down to kiss Xie Xiao on the lips.

Originally intending just to give a peck before leaving, she ended up being pulled back by an unsatisfied Xie Xiao.

By the time she left, her face was red, and she had to reapply her lipstick.

Xie Xiao didn't have to go to the company today because he was going to pick up his car.

He had been hesitant to buy a car before because he wasn't sure if Luo Yanran would want to stay here or go back home.

Now, after discussing it, they had decided they would probably stay here for the short term, so having a car would be very convenient.

Thanks to Qi Yan's help, they had already won a license plate number in the lottery.

Today, Qi Yan, who also had some free time, was going to pick up Xie Xiao to collect the car.

To avoid rush hour, the two didn't meet up until after ten at the community gate.

Qi Yan still looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing him like that, Xie Xiao felt a bit embarrassed, "If I had known you were this sleepy, I would have gone by myself. You didn't have to make this trip."

Qi Yan yawned, "Actually, it's okay. If I were still sleeping at home at past ten, my mom would come in and strip my blanket off. She has no idea I'm already an adult man, and it would be very embarrassing."

Helplessness filled Qi Yan's voice.

Even Xie Xiao fell somewhat silent upon hearing this.

Just, the auntie, is pretty easy-going...

After mocking his own mother, Qi Yan started to rib Lin Yu with Xie Xiao, "Why the heck did that kid show off the ring at dawn! The proposal was clearly last night, do you know why?"

Xie Xiao hadn't really thought about it, was there some significance to that timing?

"Why?"

"Because they definitely did something else after the proposal!" Xie Xiao almost believed Qi Yan had been on site watching the way he confidently asserted his point.

But honestly, it kind of made sense.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alright, he was feeling a bit sour now.

Lately, Luo Yanran had been too busy, working overtime until past midnight, sometimes even until one in the morning.

Since her case was particularly difficult, she was naturally very busy.

As a result, Xie Xiao felt he had been neglected for quite a while.

Of course, he would understand given how hard his wife was working.

But at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a tad sour.

However, when he saw Qi Yan, still single, complaining beside him, he instantly felt a bit better.

Indeed, one's comparisons needed to be diverse.

The two murmured about the need to get Lin Yu to treat them to a meal before they changed the subject.

Qi Yan's recent blind dates hadn't been particularly successful.

"The ones who like me, I don't like, and the ones I like don't like me back, finding love is so hard," lamented Qi Yan while driving, "I wish I had dated someone back in high school."

Xie Xiao couldn't help but correct him, "Just to clarify, I don't recommend dating too early. Even if you did, it might not last."

Xie Xiao knew that most of the guys who secretly dated in high school had already broken up.

After all, most of them were in long-distance relationships.

He and Luo Yanran were somewhat exceptional.

Thinking about it, Qi Yan agreed, "Actually, the main thing is that back in high school, I had a crush on an older student, and that's why I chased her to B University. Sadly, she just didn't like me."

Qi Yan sighed, "Ah, if only it were another girl, even long-distance wouldn't be a problem, I'd be okay with it. After all, I have the money to visit often. Forget long-distance, even international wouldn't be an issue."

Xie Xiao: ...

"We know you're rich, now would you shut up," said Xie Xiao without good humor.

Qi Yan laughed and recalled that it had been quite a while since Xie Xiao's proposal, "By the way, when do you guys plan to have the wedding?"

Xie Xiao hummed a response, "It'll have to wait a bit, we haven't graduated yet, right? Plus, we still have to discuss it with our families."

Qi Yan thought about it and agreed. It was strange how, once you start an internship or a job after school, you feel like you're not a student anymore.

However, it reminded Xie Xiao that just the other day, Luo Ming had called to tell him he would be in B City on business in a few days and wanted to have a meal with them.

The two pairs of parents had met long ago, given the many years the couple had been together.

They even kept in touch from time to time.

Though the parents of the Luo family were busy, that didn't stop them from occasionally arranging a meal with Xie Xiao's family when they were free.

It didn't matter if the younger ones were there or not; the parents got along quite well anyway.

Luo Yanran once quietly complained that sometimes it was hard to tell whose parents were whose.

Actually, Xie Xiao had a pretty good idea why Luo Ming might be coming this time.

Luo Yanran had chosen law in college, so it was no mystery what career path she would take.

But in Luo Ming's eyes, it was fortunate that his daughter had also chosen a suitable son-in-law.

He could only hope to retire early if Xie Xiao were willing.

At a previous dinner, Luo Ming had subtly probed Xie Xiao's opinion on the matter.

At that time, Xie Xiao had pointed out that he hadn't even graduated yet, and what the future held was uncertain.

Well now, graduation was looming, there was no avoiding it.
