"You said you're not young anymore, but your identity can't be made public yet. I don't know when you'll be able to find a suitable marriage. Mother is really worried. What will you do if your father reveals our identities and you're past marriageable age and can't get married?"
"If you can't get married, then don't get married. I'll always be with you and dad. Isn't that better?"
"That won't do. If you can't get married, it will be your father and me who will be lost. Alas, people at your age have children who can help with cooking, but you still don't have any. What can I do?"

Seeing this, Xiaoling quickly scolded in a low voice:
"You're such a grown-up, and you're still so careless when eating?"
Luo Lan stood up, patted her on the back a few times, and asked with concern:
"Are you feeling better? Do you want some water?"
At this time, Sina had already coughed up tears. She waved her hands vigorously, and when she stopped coughing, she breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head.
"No, it's just... I choked on some pastry crumbs, it's okay."
