Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

However, Luo Ming, recalling how he had fallen head over heels in love with his own wife, thought it wasn't strange that his family was a bit romantic.

At that moment, as he looked at the boy who was obviously nervous, he smiled and said, "What's there to be nervous about? We're just chatting and having a meal."

He relaxed into the sofa, "Both Luoluo's mother and I are too busy with work and haven't given her enough attention. That's why it took us so long to learn about your relationship. That's my fault."

His words conveyed no clear opinion or emotion about their relation.

He even wore a relaxed smile on his face.

But Xie Xiao still felt that his future father-in-law was not someone to be trifled with.

He started, "Actually, it was my lack of consideration regarding my relationship with Ranran. I hadn't visited you earlier because I felt I had no significant achievements yet and feared that the uncle and auntie might think I wasn't sincere enough..."

Xie Xiao gripped Luo Yanran's hand tighter, "Because I really want to be with Ranran forever, I always lack confidence in myself, feeling that I should make something of myself before I dare to face you. It turns out I might have been overthinking it, leading to such a delayed visit, and that was rude of me."

Luo Ming stared at Xie Xiao, his smile unchanged, the boy was obviously nervous, but his thoughts were reasonably clear.

If you asked him what he thought about his daughter having a boyfriend, he was definitely not pleased—his daughter was so young, after all.

And although their father-daughter relationship had been just average, it was undeniable that both he and his wife loved their daughter.

This beautiful, tender cabbage of his suddenly claimed she had been 'taken', and who could like the pig who did it?

Luo Ming simply couldn't, but at this moment, he looked at Xie Xiao, who although nervous, did not seem out of line.

It must be said, the young man appeared alright at first glance.

As for the rest, it was hard to say, as he hadn't gotten to know him yet.

Luo Ming looked at Xie Xiao and said, "You have good eloquence. Your dad is a teacher, right?"

"Yes, my dad is a teacher and my mom is a doctor." Xie Xiao replied, "They both really like Ranran."

Thinking of Xie Xiao's parents, Luo Yanran also smiled, "Xie Xiao's mom cooks really well."

Luo's mother sadly put down the cup she was holding, "Baby, I'm sorry, I can't cook..."

Luo Yanran quickly explained, "Mom, don't think too much, I didn't mean it that way, I just wanted to mention it."

She sighed, "The housekeeper at our house cooks very well too."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luo Ming took his wife's hand, "It's okay, we'll have the chef come over and cook for us at noon."

Xie Xiao always felt, this statement suddenly put pressure on him, but Luo Ming seemed to be smiling, maybe it was his own imagination?

But soon Xie Xiao knew it wasn't just his imagination.

Luo Ming, still smiling, looked at Xie Xiao, "You and Luoluo are at the same school, right? Hey, you two must be busy with studies, right? It'll only get busier after you graduate and start working, which is understandable. But Luoluo also can't cook, I heard you can?"

Xie Xiao: ...

"I can a bit, but not too much," Xie Xiao cautiously said,

"That's also true, I was just worried about you guys not knowing how to cook in the future; life would be tough. I was so keen on making sure my pampered wife was well-supported that I had to earn money diligently..."

Meanwhile, he was lightly smacked by Luo's mother.

Xie Xiao understood, this was hinting that he needed to work hard just like him.

Luo Yanran stared at her smiling dad, somewhat helplessly, "But dad, we can order takeout."

"You shouldn't eat takeout all the time. Don't worry, you're planning to live in the apartment next term, right? Dad will hire a housekeeper for you," Luo Ming said seriously.

He knew that Luo Yanran planned to move out next semester, but he didn't know she would be living with Xie Xiao.

Mainly, Luo Yanran felt she needed to take it step by step. She was afraid her dad would be furious if she told him all at once.

"The apartment is so small..." Luo Yanran protested.

"I mentioned buying a bigger one before, but you said no. I'll hire someone who can clean and cook; it's fine if she doesn't live in," Luo Ming said seriously. "Otherwise, I'll buy you another house..."

Xie Xiao: The pressure is even greater now.

But he felt relieved inside, at least it still offered him a challenging goal, instead of outright denial just because he is young.

That was already quite rare.

"Uncle, I will strive hard. I'm already trying my best. My roommate and I started a company..."

As he spoke, Luo Yanran took out a stack of thick folders from a gift box next to him, "These are some of our previous proposals and concepts. I know it might seem impolite to bring this when visiting you today, but thinking about how much more Uncle understands than us inexperienced young fellows, I decided to seek your advice."

This move left all three members of the Luo family stunned.

Luo Ming became intrigued, reaching for the folder in his hands, "Then shall I take a look for you?"

Luo's mother inwardly exclaimed, This young man is impressive.

She stood up with a smile, "Ah, you men are really boring. Why don't you go up to the study? Luoluo and I still need to figure out what to eat for lunch."

Luo Yanran looked worriedly at Xie Xiao, but Luo's mother signaled to both of them.

After looking through it a bit, Luo Ming felt there was something worthwhile, and immediately said, "Xie Xiao, care to come up and chat?"

In the end, Xie Xiao truly followed Luo Ming upstairs.

Luo Yanran, standing next to her mother, hesitated, "They seem more like they're discussing business."

"Isn't that so?" Luo's mother said with a smile, "And you're the business they're discussing."

Luo's mother turned to look at her daughter, her face full of worried expressions, feeling bittersweet inside as her daughter seemed to have grown up in an instant.

It seemed like just a moment ago she was still a little doll, crying while clinging to her leg, not wanting to go to school with her little backpack.

But now, she had already brought her boyfriend home for dinner.

Luo's mother sighed softly, "Don't worry, your dad is a reasonable man, and he knows you like Xie Xiao. He won't make things difficult for him."

Luo Yanran was slightly taken aback and turned to look at her mother, meeting her poignant gaze.

"I'm not worried about dad making things difficult for him," she said softly. "I know Dad is reasonable, and I know that you both will definitely like Xie Xiao because he is so outstanding. At least you won't dislike him," she added, a little proudly.

Luo's mother helplessly tapped her daughter's nose, "You really are like your father."

"Is it bad to be like Dad?" Luo Yanran countered.

"What's good about that? Your dad may look cool now, but when he was young, he was all about romance. Such people can easily get hurt if they don't meet the right person..."

"Xie Xiao would never let me get hurt..."
