After Fang Lan finally managed to appease his mother, he learned the truth from his brother: he had been pushed out by his older brother.

Fang Lan remained silent for a long time. Just when Fang Si thought Fang Lan would be sad and cry, he smiled instead.

"I knew the atmosphere was a bit strange today, and Ruan Ruan was acting like you two didn't exist. Turns out it was because of me." Fang Lan's face was full of smiles. "As expected, my sister Ruan Ruan is really loyal!"

Fang Si pursed her lips. "More than that, the day you were tied up, my sister slapped me across the face, and my face was swollen for three days."

Huang Min glared at Fang Si, "Ruan Ruan did a good job!"

She had no idea that the two men in her family had kept it a complete secret from her. If Ruan Ruan hadn't moved into the Fang family home to wait for Fang Lan to return, she wouldn't have known that her youngest son had been kidnapped.

Fang Guowei also sighed, "Your brother and I are sorry for what happened to you. This will not happen again."

Fang Lan shrugged. "It's nothing, the matter has already been resolved, hasn't it?"

Compared to his older brother and father's guilt, he was more interested in Lin Ruanruan's slap, so he ran out of the restaurant to find Lin Ruanruan to find out what happened.

Honestly, why didn't Sister Ruan tell me about such an exciting story?

Fang Guowei and Fang Si, who wanted to say something more to ask for their son/brother's forgiveness: ...

Fang Lan was numb. She had been ignored enough by the two women in her family these past few days, and now she wouldn't even listen to what anyone was saying.

Lin Ruanruan was sending a message in the living room to their study group chat, telling Huo Xian, Xuan Yuanhaocheng, Li Zihao, and Fang Lan that they had returned and to have someone come to the Fang residence as soon as possible.

Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, Fang Lan's voice rushed out, "Ruan Ruan! I heard you slapped me?"

He lay behind Lin Ruanruan gossiping, his eyes sparkling.

Lin Ruanruan stiffened, a hint of embarrassment on her face. "Well, at the time, I was a little anxious, and then... I just got carried away..."

Fang Lan reached out and ruffled Lin Ruanruan's hair. "My God, Ruanruan is so good to me. She actually beat up my arrogant and domineering tycoon brother for me. You're amazing!"

Lin Ruanruan covered Fang Lan's mouth, "Please, stop talking... it's too embarrassing."

She still feels embarrassed when she thinks about that scene now, okay?

Fang Lan's eyes were full of smiles. This was the first time someone had cared about him so much, and he was truly touched.

Lin Ruanruan was afraid that Fang Lan was still immersed in the feelings she had developed over the days with Xu Chaosheng, so she dragged Fang Lan to play games and told him gossip while they played.

Fang Lan was happy to have Lin Ruanruan 'serve' him; how could he not feel Ruanruan's thoughtfulness?

The two went straight to the game room to relax and play games. When Huo Xian and the others arrived, the two were already engrossed in a shooting game.

"Ugh, Ruanruan, save me! I'm out of bullets and medicine!"

"Coming, coming! Fang Lan, hide behind the door and wait for me, I'll be right there!" Lin Ruanruan squeezed her way into the room to rescue Fang Lan. "Fang Lan, let's play a different game, you get motion sickness in 3D."

This was the first time she had ever seen someone so ruthless as to play games while masturbating.

Fang Lan nodded, "I'm done with this game, it's too painful."

So Lin Ruanruan launched a swift attack, quickly sweeping across the battlefield and ending the game.

Huo Xian, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, and Li Zi Hao were brought in by the butler and had been watching the two play games for a while.

Fang Lan turned around and was startled to see the three of them. "Oh my god, why were you all so quiet?"

Li Zihao silently stepped forward and took off the headphones from the two of them. "I don't understand why you two need to use game voice chat to communicate when you're playing games together."

Fang Lan chuckled, "Isn't this even more enjoyable..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw tears welling up in Li Zihao's eyes.

"No, Zihao, you..."

"Wow..." Li Zihao hugged Fang Lan tightly, "I thought you were gone, I was so worried about you, I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days..."

"I... I even dreamt last night that you were killed, oh..."

Fang Lan was both amused and exasperated. Li Zihao seemed like a quiet, reserved person, but it turned out he was such a crybaby, just like Ruan Ruan.

Before he could complain, Huo Xian stepped forward and hugged Fang Lan, her voice trembling slightly, "It's alright, it's alright..."

Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng looked at the scene before him with a smile in his eyes, "We are all relieved that you are alright."

Lin Ruanruan took out her phone and took a photo and a video of the group. "After we graduate, I'll print out all these photos and give each of us a copy."

After calming down, Li Zihao felt a little embarrassed, as it was the first time he had ever cried like this in public.

After staying at Fang's house for almost a day, everyone except Lin Ruanruan went home. Lin Ruanruan followed Fang Lan almost every step of the way, except when she was sleeping or going to the bathroom.

This gave Fang Lan a bittersweet feeling, "Ruan Ruan, why are you always following me?"

Lin Ruanruan sighed and leaned against the pillar with a melancholy air, just like Lin Daiyu. "Isn't it all to put my mind at ease? I'm afraid you'll accidentally fly away again."

Fang Lan had no choice but to let Lin Ruanruan follow along. This scene made Huang Min sigh incessantly. Why did his youngest son like men?

It would be so nice if he were with Ruan Ruan; it's such a pity.

Lin Ruanruan stayed for almost a week after Fang Lan returned, and only went back home after Li Shuzhen and Lin Tianba, who were abroad, returned.

Fang Lan is now eating, sleeping, and drinking well, without any aftereffects, so she can go home with peace of mind.

...

"An engagement party?" Lin Ruanruan opened her sleepy eyes and yawned. "Xianxian, what did you say, an engagement party?"

"Of course it's mine and Hao Cheng's..." Huo Xian said shyly, speaking very softly.

However, Lin Ruanruan was so startled that she jumped out of bed, her mind instantly clearing. "When?"

"In two weeks, which is the week before school starts."

"Oh my god~" Lin Ruanruan's tone rose, her face beaming with joy, "My shipping is going so smoothly!"

Huo Xian smiled sheepishly, "Sister Xue'er said she'd do my makeup, Ruan Ruan, do you want to come watch my makeup trial?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Ruanruan readily agreed, as she was now a witness to Huo Xian and Xuan Yuanhaocheng's love.

Thinking of those beautiful photos of the two of them, she was delighted, never expecting that her photos would come in handy so quickly.
