Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 799 - 801: I Just Like It When You’re More Assertive, Ni Zi

Chapter 799: Chapter 801: I Just Like It When You’re More Assertive, Ni Zi

Gong Ruini changed into the so-called princess dress that Cai Meina insisted she wear, and she really felt all kinds of discomfort.

Layer after layer of gauze was one thing, but the inner clothes were truly uncomfortable when worn, as hot and stuffy as could be.

"My daughter is just beautiful." Cai Meina almost burst into tears as she looked at her daughter, pretty like a lady, and kept mumbling about how her own daughter was the prettiest.

Gong Ruini initially wanted to say there was no need to steal the spotlight like this, after all, she wasn’t the main character, but seeing Cai Meina so emotional, could she really say that?

"When I was your age, I didn’t have such pretty clothes to wear." Cai Meina didn’t want to remember the past, which would bring back unhappy and unpleasant memories,

but for some reason, Cai Meina often recalled them, "My daughter is just beautiful, going out will definitely stun a crowd."

Gong Ruini stayed silent, letting her mother imagine her daughter as how ladylike she’d be, drawing a crowd.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Gong Ruini admitted she did look quite ladylike, but it was a shame that, deep down, she was far from being a real lady.

"Alright, today you need to be a bit more refined, no saying anything too forceful." Cai Meina truly didn’t understand why her daughter had to be so strong-willed.

Cai Meina was really worried about whether her daughter could get married. Until before, she was not in a rush, thinking Zhao Guangran was there, having grown up together with strong feelings and understanding for each other.

But she never expected Zhao Guangran to like Cao Na, truly shocking many people.

Cai Meina thought Zhao Guangran’s actions were a bit too much, but since her daughter had no feelings for Zhao Guangran anyway, even if Cai Meina was unhappy, she could only bear it.

Now that Zhao Guangran was no longer an option, Cai Meina thought it would be best for her daughter to meet more people, but looking at Cao Na, then back at her daughter,

Cai Meina was really worried her daughter wouldn’t find anyone, although it wasn’t hard to attract someone, they couldn’t be someone without capability, otherwise not only would the daughter be dissatisfied, but even the couple wouldn’t be pleased.

Forceful words? Gong Ruini didn’t understand why Cai Meina would say that, even though she admitted that compared to Cao Na, she wasn’t enough demure, but she truly wasn’t the kind to conform to that character.

Gong Ruini wanted to say she couldn’t change, but looking at her mother’s pitiful face, Gong Ruini could only first reassure Cai Meina, "Fine, I’ll try my best."

All she could promise was to try, as for making a definite change, Gong Ruini expressed that she couldn’t achieve that.

Hearing the slightly dismissive tone from Gong Ruini, Cai Meina was a bit dissatisfied, wanting to give her some pressure.

"Aunt Cai, you’re here." Zhao Xuran was stunned by Gong Ruini’s appearance as well.

Zhao Xuran had always known Gong Ruini was quite pretty, but since she didn’t like wearing skirts and mostly wore shorts or trousers, plus everyone was seen as comrades in arms for so long, many things really got overlooked, but seeing Gong Ruini like this suddenly was surprising, no lie.

Seeing Zhao Xuran’s surprised look, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but feel shy, hehe, it’s nice to occasionally amaze people like this.

Had Cai Meina not been present, Gong Ruini would have definitely spun around once in front of Zhao Xuran, then ask him if she looked quite pretty.

But with Cai Meina around, how dare Gong Ruini make such a move, what if she got critiqued as not being steady enough by her elder there.

Gong Ruini couldn’t understand why Cai Meina got so excited, she could only go along with her wishes.

Gong Ruini gave a quick wink to Zhao Xuran, signaling him to lend a hand.

It seemed she encountered a problem; it was the first time Zhao Xuran saw Gong Ruini looking so stumped, "Aunt Cai, my mom wants to see you."

As soon as Cai Meina heard that Zhan Jing wanted to see her, she didn’t care about saying more random things to Gong Ruini, today was for the two main characters, and even though her own son’s spotlight was overshadowed by Zhao Xuran, Cai Meina was still very satisfied.

Watching Cai Meina’s departing figure, Gong Ruini let out a long sigh of relief, "Luckily you came, otherwise I really wouldn’t know what to do."

Before, Gong Ruini was just sitting in a posed style, but now she couldn’t care about that, "I regret encouraging Guangran to pursue Cao Na."

Had she not been overly kind-hearted, how would she ever have ended up in such a predicament?

Oh, what’s that supposed to mean, why the regret?

"Now my mom thinks I’ve let the best son-in-law slip away."

"But why do they think Guangran and I would be together." Gong Ruini really hadn’t thought about it at first, it was only after seeing Cai Meina’s reaction that she realized.

"I grew up with Guangran, but we always couldn’t see eye to eye, I’m strong-willed, he’s strong-willed too, if we were together..."

Gong Ruini couldn’t even imagine what that scene would look like, sighing, "Maybe divorce wouldn’t be far off for us."

"Definitely lots of small fights every day, big fights every three days."

"At least right now our relationship is good, he sees me as a sister."

At this, Zhao Xuran also breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually Uncle Gong and the others are worried you might end up with someone unsuitable."

Nowadays some people strive to better themselves, not wanting to marry someone strong-willed or with a good family background, but some just want to find a wife who can save them decades of effort.

End up with someone unsuitable? Is this really her biological mother? "Am I really such a naive person?" Gong Ruini was speechless.

All along, she has been pretty reliable in her actions, never giving off an unreliable vibe, but why do Gong Tao and the rest have such ideas? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Forget it, it’s their business to think that way." Gong Ruini didn’t want to ponder too much, "By the way, Brother Xu Ran, what are your requirements for your future half?"

Gong Ruini seized the opportunity to ask, such a good chance rarely comes, missing it and who knows when she’d get another equally good opportunity later.

"I think getting along is key, not being too delicate is fine."

"Hopefully she’s a bit more capable, I’m not someone skilled at sweet-talking." Zhao Xuran isn’t incapable of it, it’s just too tiring to always be the one sweet-talking.

Great, Gong Ruini felt delighted inside, if it weren’t for the main characters being present, she would have jumped up and cheered, although she wasn’t sure if Zhao Xuran was just teasing, it certainly brought some hope.

"That’s good then, if even Brother Xu Ran thinks it’s fine for girls to be a bit strong-willed, then I won’t change." Gong Ruini vowed to completely follow Zhao Xuran, as if everything Brother Xu Ran said was absolutely right.

Seeing Gong Ruini with a face full of devotion, Zhao Xuran felt a lot better, even though he was in high school, but since middle and high school were the same school, plus with Zhao Guangran around, Zhao Xuran knew Gong Ruini was quite popular at school too.

Although college is less academically demanding, there are more external affairs to deal with, Zhao Xuran was also a bit worried, and he couldn’t mention this to Ni Zi at this moment, she might wonder what he was thinking.

Zhao Xuran also couldn’t imagine what the elders’ expressions would be if they knew, so letting Ni Zi remain as strong-willed as ever was still the best approach.
