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

Xie Xiao watched as Ranran turned and walked away.

Lin Yu quickly lowered his head and kissed Liu Ou, "Don't be nervous, it's okay."

Liu Ou let out a breath, "I'm just afraid Grandma might be upset."

"Don't worry, the old lady is very open-minded. Besides, they've already had a private chat. If uncle had really made her uncomfortable, Grandma wouldn't have invited him over."

Moreover, in Lin Yu's view, Liu Da's gesture was clearly an attempt to reconcile.

Actually, Lin Yu had considered visiting Liu Da, although Liu Ou rarely mentioned her family over the years.

But they were her family after all. Having been together with Liu Ou for so long, it seemed inappropriate not to visit.

However, Lin Yu felt somewhat uncertain because he hadn't graduated yet.

And whenever he brought it up, Liu Ou would change the subject, clearly not wanting to discuss it.

So after several attempts, Lin Yu let the idea go.

But he had originally planned to make a visit by this Chinese New Year at the latest; he couldn't always be protected by Liu Ou.

He knew that Liu Ou was trying hard to protect him.

But he couldn't really hide behind Liu Ou all his life; that wasn't a burden a girl should have to bear.

Yet unexpectedly, before he could take action, Liu Da became restless.

At that moment, Liu Ou breathed out, "I hope Dad doesn't let me down again this time."

As for Xie Xiao, he walked over to a chair next to the courtyard, took out his phone, and discovered an additional friend request on WeChat.

It was from Han Ranran.

Xie Xiao was somewhat speechless and didn't accept it.

She had also sent several apologetic messages, but probably seeing no response from Xie Xiao, she stopped sending more.

Xie Xiao was curious about what had happened.

He opened Weibo and discovered that K-God and Xiuxiu had both posted on Weibo.

Xiuxiu was even live streaming.

The main content was that photo of a back view, but this time it was the fully revealed version.

K-God: "No way, no way? Are we not worthy of appearing in the photos? We were just below the office building, and rumors say we went to a hotel? It must be President Xie's silhouette that's too handsome!"

Xiuxiu: "No way, no way? Who else doesn't know that President Xie's girlfriend is super beautiful, right? Quick, anyone from University B here? Come out and claim your alumna!"

A photo of Xie Xiao speaking to Luo Yanran, taken from the side, was added.

Though it was just a profile view, the atmosphere felt rich.

This sequence of events had become quite interesting.

Still, Xie Xiao was curious about what had prompted them to start broadcasting.

Following the comments, he saw Han Ranran's Weibo, even though she had already deleted a post.

But someone had taken a screenshot.

About an hour earlier, she had posted a lengthy Weibo.

It started with accusations against An Zhe, stating that during their relationship, he frequently flirted with female fans and even cheated,

She couldn't tolerate it anymore and had long since proposed breaking up, but the guy had never agreed.

Later on, the post became puzzling; she said that during this low period, she had met an idol she used to like a lot.

He was a gentle and kind person, and she hoped everyone wouldn't malign him...

Basically, the message was very ambiguous.

Quite a few fans also recognized the silhouette as Xie Xiao.

And thus, Xie Xiao was "dumped" once again.

The talk that he and Luo Yanran were a contractual couple was also dug up again.

The internet really has all sorts of people.

There were already fan shippers for him and Han Ranran so swiftly.

They even created an explanation thread, saying the previous "Ranran" that Xie Xiao called was actually Han Ranran, and Luo Yanran was just a placeholder or something.

Anyway, Xie Xiao was speechless.

Then the fans started a feud.

In the end, both God K and Xiuxiu started livestreaming.

During the livestream, they directly said that before this, Han Ranran had never met Xie Xiao, and that the visit to the company was their first encounter,

where they barely exchanged a few words.

Then, they commented that the sister-in-law is indeed gorgeous, and a good match for President Xie.

By the way, Xie Xiao's identity as the boss was also revealed.

There were even former high school classmates in the livestream confirming that the two had dated back in high school, although it was private, basically everyone knew, and there was no such thing as a contract couple.

Some people also said that Luo Yanran is really incredibly beautiful in person.

Some photos of Luo Yanran in her high school uniform also leaked.

Xie Xiao frowned upon seeing this, feeling that he still needed to control it a bit.

He couldn't expose too much privacy.

So he made a call to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan honestly said, "These aren't our hired netizens, they must be your real classmates, which is even better than paid netizens."

But Xie Xiao sighed, "This should be enough, let Han Ranran and the others apologize. Any more would affect my wife's life."

Qi Yan fell silent for a moment and said OK, then instructed, "If you have time today, you should livestream too, preferably one where you connect with your sister-in-law."

Xie Xiao was silent for a moment, "We'll see."

In the end, Qi Yan could only let him be, since he had given his reminder.

Only then did Xie Xiao have time to call Luo Yanran.

She picked up quickly on the other end, "Hello."

Hearing Luo Yanran's voice brought a smile to Xie Xiao's eyes, "Are you done with work?"

Luo Yanran hummed in response, "I just got off work, aren't we celebrating grandma's birthday?"

"Not yet, not everyone is here yet." Xie Xiao said with a smile, "Wife, did you see what I sent you?"

"I saw it, I also checked out the situation online." Luo Yanran sighed, "They really can make up stories."

"Sorry, wife." Xie Xiao's tone carried more apology.

Luo Yanran replied, "What does it have to do with you? I just didn't expect some people to be so shameless for the sake of traffic and popularity."

She finished packing up her things, waved goodbye to a few colleagues as she walked out, and said softly, "Watching it makes me angry."

Xie Xiao's eyes softened, "If I were there, I would definitely comfort you. Can I do it over the phone now?"

Luo Yanran flat out denied, "No, you can comfort me when you are back."

Xie Xiao laughed, "Okay, I'll comfort you when I'm back. You should go have some dinner, don't just eat a sandwich, I cut some fruit and left it in the fridge, take it out later before eating..."

Luo Yanran stood at the law firm's door, with Xie Xiao's careful instructions in her ear. She didn't find him nagging, instead, she listened intently, her eyes full of tenderness.

When Xie Xiao finally finished speaking,

she spoke softly, "I won't listen unless you come back and watch me."

Xie Xiao's voice came through, sounding helpless, "If you keep this up, I might have to fly back overnight."

"No need!" Luo Yanran hurriedly spoke, worried he might actually come back overnight, "I was just being coy."

Her voice carried a complaint, how could he be like this.

Xie Xiao also laughed, "I know, but I really do want to see you, and your coyness just makes me want to see you more."

Luo Yanran watched as the street lights came on, even though it was still bright outside, the lights were already shining.

It felt like the city became empty the moment Xie Xiao left.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

All of a sudden, Luo Yanran spoke, "When you come back, bring me a gift, okay?"

Xie Xiao hummed a question, "What do you want?"

"Bring a ring."
