Ding Ruola was just being tough-talking. Her hand had already obediently wrapped around Fang Siyan's arm.
She forced a smile on her face, trying to get Fang Siyan to let her off.
Shao Liubai, standing on one side, couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Fang is really a lucky man."
Fang Siyan showed no intention of responding to Shao Liubai. He shot a glare at the latter and left without looking back, taking Ding Ruola with him.
All the way, Ding Ruola was well - behaved and sweet - tongued, chattering all kinds of sweet words, hoping that she wouldn't be lectured by Fang Siyan later.
After getting in the car, Ding Ruola wriggled her body to fasten the seat - belt.
The clicking sound of the seat - belt seemed to be the switch that turned Fang Siyan's mouth on.
"Ruoruo, stay away from that man in the future."
Fang Siyan didn't think Shao Liubai could pose any threat to him. The main concern was that the people around that man were not good - doers. Most of them were involved in illegal activities.
If Ding Ruola got too close to him and some ill - intentioned people found out, she would surely be in danger.
No matter how capable Fang Siyan was, he couldn't stop Ding Ruola from jumping into the fire pit all the time.
"I know! How are we going back?"
Ding Ruola tried to change the subject, but Fang Siyan didn't give her the chance.
He just kept talking about Shao Liubai.
The girl felt like her ears were going to grow calluses before Fang Siyan finally stopped.
"By high - speed train!"
Fang Siyan had already arranged how to go home. Taking a plane would be faster, but it would take a long time to get home from the airport in their hometown.
If the family sent someone to pick them up, it would be fine. But if they took a taxi or something with Ding Ruola, she might get extremely carsick.
"Great! Do we need to take anything?"
Ding Ruola was in a contradictory mood at the moment. She was a bit excited and a bit worried.
She didn't know what Fang's mother's attitude towards her was now.
"Don't need to take anything. There's everything at home. It's enough to have you with me."
Fang Siyan didn't say any sweet words to cheer Ding Ruola up. Fang's mother had been looking forward to seeing Ding Ruola for a long time.
When Ding Ruola was a little girl, Fang's mother would always nag in Fang Siyan's ear that Ruola was a good girl. If she could become her daughter - in - law in the future, her life would be complete.
But Fang Siyan never told Ding Ruola about this.
Because he knew that Ding Ruola lacked a sense of security in love. She was very suspicious about feelings. If such words came out of Fang Siyan's mouth, on the one hand, it didn't match his persona, and on the other hand, it didn't match his state of mind.
"Don't think too much. Just go back and talk to mom more!"
Fang Siyan's lecture made Ding Ruola feel like she was another daughter of Fang's mother. It felt very kind.
After a long and tiring journey, they finally got home.
Because she was too nervous, Ding Ruola discussed with her mother at home about the proper way to meet her future in - laws.
Ding's mother helped Ding Ruola draw her eyebrows and apply lip balm.
Fang Siyan, on the other hand, sat in the living room with Ding's father playing chess.
"Women are always so fussy!"
Only a man like Ding's father who had no sense of self - preservation could say such words. Fang Siyan would never say this in front of Ding Ruola.
Ding's mother used to be a beauty consultant in a fashion company, so she was quite good at makeup.
She quickly did Ding Ruola's makeup. Ding Ruola, who was already beautiful, now looked even more charming.
"Lao Fang! Isn't she beautiful?"
Fang Siyan's eyes were completely attracted by Ding Ruola's appearance. If it weren't for the optic nerve and the eyelids, his eyes would have probably stuck to Ding Ruola.
"Beautiful! Let's go!"
When they were about to leave, Ding Ruola was stopped by Ding's mother.
Ding's mother stuffed two big piles of gifts into Ding Ruola's hands.
These were for the neighbors. People usually visited each other during festivals or on ordinary days. But bringing so many gifts seemed a bit over - the - top.
Ding Ruola thought the gifts in her hands were a bit too much.
She was about to refuse when Fang Siyan nudged her with his arm and gave her a look.
This was the old folks' kindness. Fang Siyan knew that being overly modest at this moment would only disappoint the old people.
The two families were just separated by a road.
As soon as Ding Ruola stepped out of the door, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of Fang Siyan's house.
Wasn't that Gu Qianxue? What was she doing here?
Fang Siyan had the same question as Ding Ruola. It was really suspicious.
It seemed as if someone had deliberately sent her here to cause trouble.
Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan waited for the girl to go in before they went to Fang's mother's house a while later.
After Fang Siyan entered the house, he put the things in his hand on the console in the corridor and took out a pair of slippers for Ding Ruola.
As soon as Ding Ruola walked in, she bumped into Gu Qianxue.
The slippers they were wearing were a clear indication of who often came here.
The shoes on Ding Ruola's feet were casually bought from the supermarket, while the ones on Gu Qianxue's feet were probably specially prepared by Fang's mother. There was a white snowman on them.
Fang Siyan caught a glimpse of the expression on Ding Ruola's face and quickly pulled her back to his room.
"Ruoruo, the Gu family wants to cooperate with me, so they often send people to pay us courtesy calls."
Fang Siyan knew that Ding Ruola would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, but it was too late.
Judging from the girl's expression, if she said she didn't misunderstand, no one would believe it.
Later, Fang's mother was cooking in the kitchen. Ding Ruola was hopeless when it came to cooking.
Gu Qianxue stayed in the kitchen with Fang's mother all the time.
Hearing the sounds from inside, they were chatting and laughing.
Ding Ruola felt even more uncomfortable. She wanted to leave, but she thought that if she left at this time, Fang's mother would be unhappy and it would seem very impolite.
At the dinner table, Ding Ruola felt even more embarrassed.
Gu Qianxue seemed to have learned some new ways to curry favor. She kept calling Fang's mother sweetly, her mouth never tiring.
Ding Ruola could only hold her bowl and stuff food into her mouth.
"Auntie, your cooking is really delicious!"
"These were all cooked by Qianxue!"
Ding Ruola's compliment was off - target. She forced a couple of laughs and then fell silent.
"Si Yan, you go wash the dishes. I'll have a chat with Ruoruo."
Gu Qianxue left because of a phone call. Fang's mother seemed to have caught the opportunity. With a kind smile on her face, she took Ding Ruola's hand.
"Ruoruo, now that you're married, when are you going to have a baby?"
Getting straight to the point, this way of chatting was a bit too fast.
But Fang's mother's attitude made the clouds in Ding Ruola's heart disperse.
"Well, we'll wait until we're both more stable."
Hearing Ding Ruola's answer, Fang's mother sighed deeply.
When Ding Ruola was a little girl, Fang's mother thought this girl was lively and straightforward. If she could marry into the Fang family in the future, it would bring honor to the Fang ancestors.
Now, the more she looked at this girl, the more she liked her. She was good - looking, sensible, and could tolerate Fang Siyan's bad temper.
"Lao Fang has a good temper!"
