Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 805 - 807: Thank Heaven and Earth

Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Xuran, who was silent, and then at the empty house, feeling immense pressure.

Gong Ruini thought that she felt wronged too. It’s not like she didn’t notify him, but she didn’t expect her elder brother wouldn’t hear it clearly.

Can she be blamed for that? If she had known her brother wasn’t clear-headed at that moment, even if she was in a rush, she’d have made sure he repeated it several times until it was deeply etched in his bones.

"Do you know what’s going on at home?" Seeing Gong Ruini return home safely, Zhao Xuran finally breathed a sigh of relief after a whole day of worry.

But just because nothing happened this time, does that mean it’s over?

It’s just luck that Ni Zi didn’t get into trouble this time, but can she always be so lucky?

"I know." Of course Gong Ruini knew the family’s situation.

"Since you know, why act so willfully?" Zhao Guangran said this, and Zhao Xuran agreed wholeheartedly.

What, she’s willful? Gong Ruini felt upset, "How am I willful? I did inform!"

She had been busy all day and was extremely exhausted, especially with the precarious feeling she had throughout the day; it wasn’t something she ever wanted to recall.

Originally, after coming home, Gong Ruini hoped to rest properly and didn’t expect to be lauded, but she definitely didn’t expect to be treated like this.

Gong Ruini didn’t want to lose her temper, especially since Zhao Xuran was quite a powerful figure one couldn’t offend. However, she was still a proud princess with her own temper.

The more Gong Ruini thought about it, the more wronged she felt; she couldn’t stay any longer, or she couldn’t guarantee how it might explode.

"Besides, I was out for legitimate reasons. Do you think anyone wants to go out? I’m really tired too."

"I don’t want to bear that kind of responsibility either."

After speaking, Gong Ruini stormed out angrily, regardless of how Zhao Xuran might react.

Gong Ruini had already decided: if Zhao Xuran really gets furious and is highly displeased with her, she wouldn’t apologize.

Constantly apologizing only makes people think she is easygoing, without principles, and that she can retreat indefinitely. What happens when there’s nowhere left to retreat?

With that thought, Gong Ruini realized she was indeed a big fool, stuck in the maze without stepping out.

No matter how formidable Zhao Xuran was in the past or present, didn’t she, as someone who traveled through time, amount to something?

Even if she’s not as capable as Zhao Xuran, with the resources she currently has, her life wouldn’t be terrible—she could at least live well as a landlady in the future.

Gong Ruini decided she couldn’t live so humbly anymore; she wouldn’t let Zhao Xuran crush her.

Despite Zhao Guangran’s previous vow that he’d run as far away as possible when Gong Ruini returned, not getting swept away by his elder brother’s typhoon.

But when he saw Gong Ruini return to face his elder brother’s criticism, Zhao Guangran couldn’t bring himself to leave; he wanted to hear how his brother admonished Ni Zi.

This time, Ni Zi caused such a big mess, and if his elder brother continued to reprimand lightly, he’d surely bring it up anytime he was disciplined henceforth.

But why did his elder brother only say a few words before Ni Zi angrily said so much that Zhao Guangran was terrified?

"He won’t get angry and then hit her, will he?" Zhao Xuran hardly used physical punishment, but he did resort to it occasionally when Zhao Guangran was particularly disobedient. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Zhao Guangran couldn’t imagine what if his elder brother physically punished Ni Zi, Gong Ruwen would surely explode.

Zhao Guangran was really worried that the situation would be tough to handle if it escalated, unable to explain to the elders.

Gong Ruwen almost fell over from fright at the sudden outburst of his sister, knowing that she always obeyed Zhao Xuran, which he secretly envied.

He never expected her to be so terrifying when she got angry, "Surely not, right?" Gong Ruwen was unsure.

Although only Ni Zi and Zhao Xuran were inside the house now, Gong Ruwen didn’t believe Zhao Xuran wouldn’t know others were outside.

Before Gong Ruwen and others could devise how to go inside and defuse the situation a bit, Ni Zi had already rushed out.

What’s happening, throwing a tantrum only to run off afterward, what’s going on? Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded.

Gong Ruwen was stunned too, then he dashed after his sister, "Guangran, you go check on Brother Xu Ran."

Gong Ruwen could sense his sister was very unhappy, knowing it’s a moment to look after Zhao Xuran and prevent his anger from augmenting towards his sister.

But as her biological brother, comforting his sister was of utmost importance at such moments.

No way, looking at Gong Ruwen’s fading figure, Zhao Guangran felt like crying. What’s going on here? Aren’t they just putting him over the fire?

Zhao Guangran regretted not having retreated quickly, but he genuinely thought witnessing Gong Ruini’s critique by his brother would be amusing.

Now it’s bad, things might get disastrous; Zhao Guangran couldn’t help but regret knowing he has to face this situation.

"Brother, hey, hey, don’t be angry. Maybe Ni Zi’s not feeling well." Zhao Guangran could only brace himself and forge ahead.

Not feeling well? Does he take me for a fool? Zhao Xuran recalled Ni Zi was in a good mood earlier, and from her words, was there something hidden in her outing?

Zhao Xuran slightly regretted not giving Ni Zi a chance to explain a bit and just getting angry with her.

But now, is it okay to go find Ni Zi? Many say she’s easygoing, but she’s actually quite difficult and has a temper, although well-hidden.

What to do, Zhao Xuran felt at a loss with no clues—how could he apologize if he didn’t even know how to?

Sigh, wait, Ni Zi said she was out with Cao Na, and it was someone introduced by Cao Na, so Cao Na definitely knows something.

Right, ask Cao Na? "Guangran, go ask Cao Na where they went today and what they did."

"I want details."

Oh, ready for his brother’s telling off, Zhao Guangran didn’t expect Xiuran not to be mad and ask him to find Cao Na.

This delighted Zhao Guangran, elated to see Nana, whom he missed terribly all day, unable to venture out due to unusual circumstances.

Finally given such a good opportunity by his brother, he knew not to stick around and get reprimanded?

"I’m going to find Nana then." Zhao Guangran confirmed again, ensuring his brother wouldn’t call him back just after he left.

"Are you daft? Is your listening absent?" Zhao Xuran knew he needed to keep his temper, but Guangran’s repeated confirmations annoyed him.

Feeling good, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t bicker with Zhao Zhaoxuran, thrilled to bid farewell and promised to get the information, swiftly making his escape.
