The old lady Yu glanced at her grandson with disdain.
"What are you pretending for, you're a grown man? I'm embarrassed for you, even if you're not."
Yu Chiyan didn't respond to the old lady's words, but just silently looked at Su Yaoyao.
Su Yaoyao: "..."
What should I do if I feel even more pitiful?
Su Yaoyao coughed lightly before speaking.
"Just listen to what Grandma says."
Yu Chiyan's eyes immediately turned incredibly resentful.
The old lady was delighted; she truly deserved the title of her chosen granddaughter-in-law.
Thanks to Su Yaoyao's 'mediation', the meal went very well.
On the other side...
Nan Jiangmu sat with Bai Ruanruan in a couples' restaurant.
As for why it's a couples' restaurant, it's because Bai Ruanruan lingered at the entrance, saying she'd never been before and wanted to try it.
Nan Jiangmu couldn't persuade her otherwise, and just a second before the little girl's tears fell, he quickly agreed.
The restaurant was decorated in a romantic and cozy style, with roses on the tables symbolizing love. Nan Jiangmu, a lifelong single, felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered, as if he were allergic to the idea of love.
Bai Ruanruan, on the other hand, was very active, her big, round eyes looking around.
Nan Jiangmu stood with his hands in his pockets, exuding an elegant and composed demeanor. He was handsome and extraordinary, yet also dignified and poised. In contrast, Bai Ruanruan looked just like a little rabbit that had just been released from its burrow. He sighed, feeling as if he were raising a little girl.
“Ruan Ruan”.
Bai Ruanruan's eyes sparkled; "Hey, brother."
Nan Jiangmu paused, then pointed upstairs; "We've reserved a private room, let's go upstairs."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruanruan immediately went upstairs, her ponytail practically flying off her head.
Looking at her back, Nan Jiangmu found it hard to believe that such a cute and adorable girl could fight and had a talent for being a paparazzi.
The two ordered their food in the private room, and the waiter withdrew.
Bai Ruanruan had been pestering him at the hospital for so long that she was a little hungry. She didn't even have time to appreciate the exquisite plating and started eating right away.
In contrast, Nan Jiangmu is much more elegant. It is said that doctors all have exceptionally beautiful hands.
With distinct joints, slender yet powerful, it possesses both femininity and masculine fortitude.
Bai Ruanruan's gaze shifted from his hands to her own chubby little hands, her face scrunched up, and the delicious food in front of her no longer tasted appealing.
Nan Jiangmu found it somewhat amusing to see the expression on her face; the young girl had so many thoughts on her mind, her expression changing every few moments.
He put down his knife and fork and suddenly asked, "Ruan Ruan, aren't you still in school? You don't go to school every day. Don't your family care about you?"
Bai Ruanruan cupped her face in her hands and looked at him, her voice soft and sweet. "It doesn't matter to me. Besides, my current level is already high enough to graduate."
A hint of surprise flashed in Nan Jiangmu's eyes. Looking at the proud and confident expression on Bai Ruanruan's face, he suddenly realized that Bai Ruanruan had never revealed which school she attended.
He narrowed his eyes; "Ruan Ruan, you're not from Nancheng, are you? Did you come here to have fun, or is there something you need?"
Bai Ruanruan looked at the noble and charming Nan Jiangmu, her eyes sparkling with hearts.
"I originally came to Nancheng to find someone, but now I feel like I have something more important to do."
Seeing her dazed look, Nan Jiangmu couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile; "Who are you looking for, and what important matter do you have to discuss?"
He leaned slightly to the side, the warm light shining on his face, and Bai Ruanruan couldn't even see the pores on his face.
His handsome nose, deep eyes, and thin, rosy lips made Bai Ruanruan swallow hard.
While beauty can certainly make one flustered, fortunately, one's intelligence hasn't completely vanished. Bai Ruanruan avoided answering the first question, her round little face flushed pink, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Nan Jiangmu.
"I want to bring my brother home."
Nan Jiangmu's smile froze. He straightened up and his gaze toward Bai Ruanruan turned sharp.
"Little girl, do you know that your brother is almost thirty?"
Bai Ruanruan seemed oblivious to the cold glint in the man's eyes. She nodded cutely and said, "I know, I know. The third man is like a golden brick, and if you're three years older than him, you'll live a life of blissful happiness."
After saying that, she shook her head in an extremely cute way.
Nan Jiangmu tightened his grip on the wine glass. He suddenly chuckled and extended his long, jade-like hand with distinct knuckles. His clear voice held a hint of danger.
"Are your hands pretty, brother?"
Bai Ruanruan's heart pounded like a drum and her face flushed red from his words.
She thought not only his hands were beautiful, but everything about him was beautiful!
Bai Ruanruan nodded frantically; "Brother's hands are so beautiful."
The unwavering praise was met with a somewhat cold response from the man.
"Hitting someone hurts a lot, do you want to try?"
His expressionless face and cold eyes were the first time Bai Ruanruan had seen him like this. When she saw Nan Jiangmu raise his hand, a hint of panic flashed across her face, but she still tried to remain calm.
"You dare! I'm Miss Bai! If you dare hit me, I'll have my dad tie you up! And then..."
Before he could finish speaking, a smile had already returned to Nan Jiangmu's face; "Is that so, Miss Bai...?"
Bai Ruanruan's face stiffened.
Did she reveal something?
...
That evening, Su Yaoyao and Shen Jiajiang were video chatting.
In three days, it will be the day Shen Jia marries into the Gu family. Her face has lost its gloomy expression and is now filled with joy.
Looking at her face, Su Yaoyao understood what was going on and couldn't help but tease her.
