After Bai Zhijin's reminder, Huo Junyang suddenly realized the truth.

It turns out that Lu Ran's unhappiness since the start of the banquet was all because of this...

But he dared to swear to heaven that he had no ill intentions towards Ranran, so how could she misunderstand?

But after thinking about it again, Ranran took the initiative to apologize to him.

Anyway, he was also at fault!

Huo Junyang was very annoyed and also felt a little sorry for Lu Ran. He wished he could go to Lu Ran right now and twist his head off to vent his anger!

"Huo Er? Huo Er!" Bai Zhijin waved her hand in front of his eyes. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing!" Huo Junyang patted his head hard. "Hey, it's all my fault! I was wrong, I really don't know my brain!"

Bai Zhijin opened her eyes wide, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm not saying anything more!" Huo Junyang hurriedly left, but turned back as soon as he reached the door. "Zhijin, you said you wanted to apologize to the girl, what would be a good thing to buy?"

"This..." Bai Zhijin smiled awkwardly.

She has no experience in this area.

Although many boys pursued her since she was young, the gifts they gave her when they were pursuing her and the gifts they gave her when they apologized were completely different things.

She only remembered that her brother had made her angry, but she was easy to coax; a few kind words from her brother would make her stop being angry.

Therefore, she was unable to help Huo Junyang with this issue.

"Hmm... if it were me," she tried to put herself in his shoes, "I would like to receive a set of art books! Painting supplies would be fine too!"

Huo Junyang frowned, "But she's not you..."

"Huo Er!" Bai Zhijin suddenly had an idea. "I heard that giving girls cosmetics is a good idea, like different shades of lipstick, to keep her in a good mood every day!"

Huo Junyang's eyes widened, and the light bulb in his mind instantly lit up!

He thanked Bai Zhijin and dashed into the mall like a rocket.

None of the sales clerks at the DL cosmetics counter ever imagined that they would witness two grown men fighting tooth and nail over a lipstick, seemingly irreconcilable enemies...

Huo Junyang first performed a "White Crane Spreads Wings" maneuver, firmly blocking the lipstick counter behind him!

Then, Huo Jingnan swept Huo Junyang's leg with a powerful kick!

Huo Junyang lost his balance, and Huo Jingnan seized the opportunity to snatch the lipstick...

Little did they know that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind it!

Just as Huo Jingnan's hand was about to touch the lipstick, he suddenly felt a force pulling him back. Looking down, he saw Huo Junyang, who, although he hadn't beaten him, was lying on the ground tightly hugging his leg!

"Huo Junyang! Let go!"

"Huo Jingnan! That's mine, you're not allowed to take it!"

"Huo Junyang! If you don't let go, I... I'm going to get serious!"

"ah--"

"ah--"

The manager rushed over in a panic, but was stunned when he saw the scene. None of the dozens of security guards around dared to step in and break up the fight; they all looked at the manager with questioning eyes.

The manager took a deep breath and quickly figured out what had happened.

It turns out that some strange wind blew the Second Young Master and Young Master Nan here at the same time today, and these two gentlemen both took a fancy to the same limited edition lipstick, neither willing to give way to the other...

"Only this one lipstick? No more stock?"

The clerk stammered, "How could that be, manager... We have dozens in stock, and we can get more if we need more! Besides, the one they were fighting over was... it was a sample..."

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"They won't listen to us!"

The manager had a splitting headache.

I bet neither of those two straight men knew that what was displayed on the counter were trial sizes... They probably thought it was the only one in the world.

The manager tried his best to force a fairly natural smile and risked his life to step between the two!

"Gentlemen, please stop! Please stop!"

"No, no... don't hit me..."

"I guarantee you two will each get one today, you won't leave empty-handed!"

Later, Huo Junyang and Huo Jingnan walked out of DL with their bags, satisfied. They found a barbecue stall by the roadside, ordered a table full of skewers and two cases of beer, and indulged themselves.

The next day, Huo Junyang arrived at the Lu family home full of confidence, carrying his cosmetics.

Just then, Lu Ran opened the door and was pleasantly surprised to see what he was holding.

"How is it?" Huo Junyang tossed his hair and smiled. "Do you like it?"

Lu Ran nodded, remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged him, tears slowly falling down her face.

"Hey, don't cry!" Huo Junyang was taken aback. "I bought you these things hoping you'd be happy, not to make you sad."

Lu Ran stopped crying and started laughing.

She wasn't sad, but rather so touched that she felt it was all unreal.

Huo Junyang smiled, took out the lipstick, and carefully applied it to her lips.

The color was perfect, making her complexion look healthy and no longer as pale as before.

Lu Ran looked in the mirror, and a smile returned to her face. She liked herself at that moment.

"Look, this set of lipsticks has thirty colors." Huo Junyang showed it to her like a treasure. "Although I don't know the differences between these reds, if you change to a different one every day, you'll be in a good mood every day!"

"Thank you, Junyang." Lu Ran looked at him with mixed feelings, and after a long while said softly, "I shouldn't have spoken to you like that at the banquet before. I was too willful. I'm sorry."

"Silly girl." Huo Junyang pulled her into his arms. "I know why you're upset. It's because I made you feel insecure, isn't it?"

He looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "Ranran, I don't want to marry anyone but you. Our wedding date has only been postponed. My parents haven't said they want to cancel the engagement! Just relax. I'll try to control my behavior and not get too close to other girls, okay?"
