Wan Ge held Shi Chu Ran's hand. He still seemed normal, but Wan Ge could sense his unease.

Just as she was about to enter, Wan Ge spoke up: "Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Shi Churan subconsciously lowered her head and then answered no.

Wan Ge took the initiative to tell him about how she almost got engaged to the male lead: "Back then, I hadn't met you yet. I just thought he was a good match, but he didn't like me, and I didn't care about him, so it didn't work out."

Shi Churan tightened her grip on her hand, then softly asked, "So... you're with me because we're compatible?"

Did she approach him because he fit her ideal type?

"Of course not." Wan Ge answered without any guilt, because it simply wasn't true.

"Why is that?" Shi Churan looked at the person in front of her with a puzzled expression.

With a smile on her face, Wan Ge replied, "Of course it's because I like you. Only you can make me like you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Churan blushed immediately. The slight jealousy she had felt earlier had vanished. After all, her beloved had explained things so well, so why should she be angry?

…

Wan Ge and Shi Chu Ran are not married yet. Although both sets of parents have tacitly agreed that they are married, they have not registered their marriage. Naturally, they still spend the Chinese New Year at their respective homes.

It's just that during the Chinese New Year, there are exchanges of gifts and visits, and of course, both sets of parents will be present.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wan Ge arrived at the Shi family home again. Madam Shi was not in a good mood and seemed particularly worried: "Wan Ge, you're here... Ran Ran has locked herself in her room and hasn't eaten anything for a day and a night."

Actually, the cause wasn't a very serious problem. It was a plan that Chu Ran had made before the Lunar New Year. The plan was doing quite well, but it fell far short of his expectations.

This is only slightly better than average; for someone who has been proud and perfect since childhood, it's practically a failure.

Shi Churan is someone who doesn't allow himself to fail or be imperfect, so he was greatly affected. What's more, Wan Ge wasn't by his side during the Spring Festival, so the blow was doubled.

Wan Ge reassured Madam Shi, "It's alright, I'll go see him and persuade him."

Madam Shi didn't understand why her son did this either. It was really good, considering he was so young and already had this ability. For many people, it was a win-win situation instead of a loss, so the plan was a success.

And no one blamed him; they were quite satisfied with the outcome, but they didn't understand why their son was still...

…

Wan Ge knocked on the door but there was no response. When she tried to open it, she found it was locked. The housekeeper quickly brought her the key.

When Wan Ge opened the door and went in, she saw a boy sitting on the bed, curled up in a ball.

Wan Ge sat down next to him and hugged him. Shi Churan was slightly stunned for a moment, and only after feeling the familiar scent did she turn to look at her.

Shi Churan didn't want to show this side of herself in front of the person she loved most, so she immediately buried her head down, not wanting her to see her like this.

"I've heard about it. It's not your fault." Wan Ge knew it was due to some unexpected factors. After all, sometimes natural disasters and man-made calamities are hard to predict, and besides, the outcome was still quite good.
