Exhausted, Lin Ruanruan returned home to find her beloved parents waiting for her.
Lin Ruanruan threw herself into Li Shuzhen's arms, "Dad, Mom, why didn't you take a break today?"
She usually comes home late when her parents are already resting.
Li Shuzhen and Lin Tianba exchanged a glance, and finally Li Shuzhen cleared her throat and asked, "Ruanruan, you haven't been in a relationship yet, have you?"
Lin Tianba also looked at his daughter. As soon as Yan Ru and Huang Min left today, Li Shuzhen told him everything. Lin Tianba and Li Shuzhen were both reluctant to let their child get engaged so early.
Lin Ruanruan suddenly looked up. Had her parents already heard about the rumors at school? That would be so embarrassing!
Li Shuzhen felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing Lin Ruanruan's reaction. Could it be that Huo Qi and Fang Si from the Fang family had already made their move?
Lin Ruanruan made an X in front of her chest, "I will never have a puppy love in my life, Mom and Dad, please don't listen to those rumors!"
Don't believe these rumors, they're too embarrassing.
Li Shuzhen felt relieved; it was good that nothing had happened. "Ruanruan, if you have someone you like in the future, you must tell your mother."
She hesitated whether to tell her daughter what had happened that day.
Lin Ruanruan nodded, "If I do, I will definitely tell my mother."
Even after Lin Ruanruan entered the house, Li Shuzhen still didn't tell her what had happened.
Lin Tianba squeezed her hand, kissed it, and said, "It's okay, my wife. Ruan Ruan is still young. Talking to her about these things might affect her."
"Let's wait until they're adults. Besides, who knows if the Huo and Fang families are just having a passing fancy?"
Lin Tianba sighed, "I don't really want Ruan Ruan to marry into a powerful family; the world of aristocratic families is too complicated." He was afraid he couldn't protect her.
Li Shuzhen remained silent, sensing that neither the Huo nor the Fang families had acted on a whim. She didn't know Fang Si, but Huo Qi…
Li Shuzhen slapped her forehead, startling Lin Tianba who was standing next to her. Li Shuzhen gave Lin Tianba a resentful look, "No wonder the young master Huo from the Huo family kept coming to our house, and even gave us a soft jade bracelet..."
At the time, because the two families were so different, and Ruan Ruan was still quite young, she didn't think about it that way. She figured it was Huo Qixian who had taken a liking to Ruan Ruan.
"Let's take it one step at a time. I still trust the Huo family's character," Lin Tianba said. The Huo family was a well-known philanthropist in the province, and he trusted them.
As for the Fang family, they are on a completely different track. He only knows that Fang Si has many overseas industries.
Li Shuzhen nodded. She only hoped that her daughter Ruanruan could be happy for the rest of her life.
Huo Residence
Huo Xian was going downstairs to get herself some water when she discovered her mother and her brother, who had returned at some point, plotting something.
Huo Qi looked up and saw Huo Xian. His slightly gloomy eyes lit up, and he smiled and beckoned Huo Xian over.
Huo Xian looked puzzled. "Brother, is something wrong?"
"Tomorrow is Saturday, right? Let's call your good friend Aruan and go to the amusement park together."
"An amusement park?" Huo Xian's eyes lit up slightly; she had never been to one before.
Huo Qi stood up and ruffled Huo Xian's hair. "I originally came back to discuss a collaboration, but..."
"You got wet?" Huo Xian looked up.
"But your brother finalized the contract today, and we'll spend the weekend here instead of going back to school."
Anyway, he had already finished his studies ahead of schedule, and he only went back to school because his own studio was located there.
Huo Qi smiled and curled his lips. Originally, he was rushing to make progress this time because he wanted to take Huo Xian and A Ruan, the two little girls, out to play. Huo Xian grew up in a mountain village and even going to school was difficult, let alone going to an amusement park.
He hadn't been able to let Huo Xian relax before because she was preparing for the physics competition. This time, he came back specifically to celebrate with his sister and also to reconnect with his wife, Aruan.
When he returned, his mother brought him some news that displeased him: the Fang family actually wanted Aruan to be their daughter-in-law. They were overjoyed.
"Invite your friends to come along; it's more fun with more people."
Huo Xian nodded, smiling.
The next day, Lin Ruanruan was planning to edit some game videos to promote her account as usual, but then she discovered that her beloved Xianxian had invited her to an amusement park.
Lin Ruanruan's eyes lit up. This was great! She had never been there before.
She had always dreamed of going to an amusement park, and the last time Brother Huo took her to the arcade made her very happy. She never expected the amusement park to come so soon; she was incredibly excited.
She was mentally challenged before, and her parents didn't have the time or inclination to take her out to play. They would find a place to treat her every now and then.
As for her past life, Lin Ruanruan smiled and said it was better not to mention it, as many of her memories were not pleasant.
While Lin Ruanruan was picking out pretty clothes for herself, Fang Lan called her.
"Fang Lan, what's wrong?"
Looking in the mirror, Lin Ruanruan nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, this is the one."
"Sister Ruan, my mom asked me—oh wait, do you have time? Come over to my house to play~" Fang Lan looked at Ms. Huang next to her and chuckled, "My gaming equipment in my room was just upgraded, you can play duo with me."
Lin Ruanruan then came to her senses, "I'm sorry, Fang Lan, I just agreed to go to the amusement park with Xianxian."
"Huh? I want to go too!" Fang Lan protested, "Why aren't you taking me?"
Lin Ruanruan blinked, "But your house is so far away!"
Lin Ruanruan recalled the last time she went to Fang Lan's old house, her butt almost went numb from sitting.
"Sigh, okay, then have fun with Huo Xian." Fang Lan hung up the phone and smiled at his mother beside him. "It's not that I didn't try hard enough, it's just that Ruan Ruan had a date."
Huang Min held a small fan with ribs made of Xiangfei bamboo and calligraphy by a famous calligrapher on the fan surface, and gently fanned herself in front of her.
"Sigh, I won't be able to see my lovely Ruan Ruan this weekend." Huang Min sighed. Ruan Ruan perfectly matched her ideal of a daughter.
She glanced at Fang Lan beside her and wondered if she should raise this son as a daughter.
Fang Lan felt a chill run down his spine under his mother's gaze, but he was also genuinely curious. "Mom, why do you want Ruan Ruan to come to our house so badly? Do you want to take her in as your goddaughter?"
Huang Min glanced at Fang Lan and said, "Pretty much, anyway, I just like her."
What an obedient child. She couldn't help but glance at Fang Lan again. If her youngest son were even half as well-behaved as Ruan Ruan, she wouldn't have hit him.
Fang Lan couldn't stand his mother's disdain for him any longer, so he quickly made an excuse to go upstairs.
Huang Min snorted and turned on her phone to check on her eldest son. She needed to give him a heads-up and urge him to work harder to marry Ruan Ruan into the family.
