As soon as Yuan's father spoke, Yuan Gu and Yuan Man both looked at Yuan Zhao.

Unlike Yuan Man, Yuan Gu's eyes held a hint of worry; he had a bad feeling.

When Yuan Zhao spoke, his heart sank. He heard Yuan Zhao say:

"I like Rong Ruo."

"What? You said you like someone?"

Mr. Yuan suddenly stood up. He felt that there was something wrong with his ears. Otherwise, how could he have heard the name of that evil star from his precious daughter's mouth?

Yuan Zhao pursed her lips and said Rong Ruo's name once again.

"Father, the person in my heart is Rong Ruo."

With a loud bang, Yuan's father felt as if he had been struck by lightning, leaving him speechless.

Yuan Gu remained silent with a somber face; his worst fears had come true.

Yuan Man and his father reacted similarly; after realizing what had happened, he suddenly stood up:

"Zhaozhao, how could you like that jinx?"

Yuan Zhao: "..."

Of course she didn't like him. She's not a masochist, so how could she possibly like Rong Ruo?

However, facing his father and two brothers, Yuan Zhao could only bite the bullet and say:

“I knew him before, and he saved me last time and helped me a few more times.”

"...Actually, he's not like what people say about him; he's a good person."

Yuan Zhao said against his will.

This time, even her father, who always agreed with her, couldn't say anything against his conscience.

Is Rong Ruo doing well?

Hehehe!

If this gets out, I wonder how many people will be shocked.

Those who know Rong Ruo would probably not say such a thing.

Yuan Zhao knew he needed to give his father and brothers time to process this, so after dropping this bombshell, he went back to his own courtyard. The three members of the Yuan family sat there blankly for a long time, until finally Yuan Man said:

"I still don't believe that Zhaozhao doesn't like that pretentious scholar."

"How could I suddenly fall for that devil Rong Ruo?"

Yuan Gu snorted coldly upon hearing this:

"Who knows if Rong Ruo was just pretending and deceiving Zhao Zhao?"

"You know that person has a very handsome appearance."

Rong Ruo's appearance was something no one could criticize. Even if they disliked Rong Ruo, they couldn't bring themselves to say something so insincere as to say that Rong Ruo was not good-looking.

"I'm going to find him."

Father Yuan slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying...

He couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to find Rong Ruo to find out what was going on.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yuan Gu quickly stopped him:

"Father, you can't go."

"Are you going to stop me?"

Yuan's father looked at Yuan Gu with displeasure, wondering whether he should give his son a good slap across the face.

"I'm not stopping you."

"Right now, Zhao Zhao has only told us what she's thinking. We still have no way of knowing what Rong Ruo is thinking."

"If we rashly go to his door and let that guy know that Zhaozhao likes him, wouldn't that be giving him face?"

Yuan's father thought it made sense, and he was determined not to ruin Zhaozhao's reputation.

"What do we do now? Rong Ruo is a eunuch."

Yuan Man frowned.

Putting aside Rong Ruo's reputation, they simply couldn't accept the fact that he was a eunuch.

He simply couldn't accept that his sister liked a eunuch.

Yuan Gu had no better solution at the moment, and could only say:

Let's take a look at it like this for now.

"Should we still find someone for Zhaozhao?"

Yuan's father asked.

Yuan Gu shook his head. Since Yuan Zhao had already mentioned Rong Ruo's name today, it was clear that he wouldn't consider anyone else.

Over there, after Yuan Zhao returned to the courtyard, Wen Feng finally couldn't hold back and asked:

"Miss, are you telling the truth? Or were you forced by him?"

She hadn't believed Yuan Zhao would fall for Rong Ruo before, but recently she'd noticed a strange harmony between them, and now she was starting to have doubts.
