Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 889 - 891: So This Means We’re Together?

Looking at Zhao Xuran’s serious expression, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Quite curious about what Zhao Xuran was going to say to her. Could it be a confession?

But then she thought it was impossible. This guy was always so steady. If Zhao Guangran, that impulsive guy, hadn’t been pushed by them from behind, would he have dared to take that step?

Even then, it took him a lot of steps to complete this task. As for Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruini wasn’t expecting anything.

Although Zhao Xuran did take care of her quite a bit, the way he looked at her sometimes made Gong Ruini feel a bit shy.

But did Zhao Xuran ever say anything? Not a word. Maybe it was just a casual glance, and it was Gong Ruini overthinking it.

"Once my mom’s pharmacy opens, I’ll be quite busy."

Zhao Xuran thought about it and realized it was wrong. He barely understood Chinese medicine, and his words could be misleading.

"My mom plans to open a factory. She’ll produce Black Ointment and several other products, and I’ll be in charge of everything except the ointment’s development and production."

Uh, what did he need to explain to her? Gong Ruini realized she had been way overthinking.

Gong Ruini couldn’t help but mock herself. Luckily, it was just the two of them; otherwise, if Zhao Guangran saw her shy look, there’d be no end to his teasing.

Although Gong Ruini was a little disappointed, she quickly perked up.

At least if Zhan Jing is opening a factory, maybe she could discuss with Zhao Xuran about opening a pharmacy to sell ointments or get some agency rights to promote the ointment outside.

If she couldn’t win over a domineering CEO, she might as well work hard to make money.

Only making money can make a person feel good.

"I told you back then about us going abroad to study together." When Zhao Xuran said this, he couldn’t help but feel nervous because he really didn’t know how to summarize his words.

Zhao Xuran considered himself someone who had seen a lot, so why was he so nervous at this moment?

He wiped his hand, clenched tightly behind his back, on his clothes, otherwise, the sweat would just keep pouring out.

Was this what Zhao Xuran mentioned back then? Is he now trying to say they can’t go abroad together?

Sigh, clinging to a big shot’s leg isn’t easy. Gong Ruini was full of regret inside, but still, she said it was really no problem.

"Brother Xuran, rest assured, I’ll do just fine on my own." Her big brother’s not sure if he could go abroad, and the likelihood of Zhao Guangran going abroad is slim to none.

Gong Ruini felt a bit lost thinking about going abroad alone for a few years.

In her past life, she was just a poor nobody who didn’t study abroad—just a few sightseeing trips abroad. Are friends around enough for her to be okay on her own?

Gong Ruini was really flustered, "No worries, staying in the country is fine too."

Maybe she’d miss out on a lot, but staying in the country still has plenty of opportunities, at least she could accompany her family.

Did this girl misunderstand what he meant, "I mean, could you wait for me a few years?"

Wait for him a few years? What does that mean? Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Xuran in confusion.

Zhao Xuran pinched his nose "I mean, if possible, I hope you could go abroad with me."

Even though Gong Ruini just said she might not go abroad, she wasn’t without dilemmas. What if at that time someone wants to accompany her abroad?

What if Ni Zi herself realizes in a few years that going abroad on her own is fine?

Zhao Xuran truly couldn’t risk it, "I hope to accompany you through your future life." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Uh, what’s the meaning of these words? Gong Ruini looked up in disbelief at Zhao Xuran. Was he saying this from a brother’s standpoint or a man’s? Gong Ruini wasn’t sure.

"I hope we can always be together." Zhao Xuran held Gong Ruini’s hand, "Just like Guangran and Cao Na."

After saying these words, Zhao Xuran really felt relieved, but soon his heart was tense again.

Even though he said what he wanted, he didn’t know how Gong Ruini would respond.

Gong Ruini was really startled by Zhao Xuran’s words, hitting her with such an unexpected line—who wouldn’t be startled?

Gong Ruini didn’t know how Zhao Guangran and Cao Na reacted when they said they’d be together. What she knew was she shouldn’t miss this, "Alright."

There’s no room for playing hard to get. Although there are other reasons for liking Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruini could confirm that she truly liked him.

A man who wouldn’t constrain her, who would give her space, a man who would be considerate of her. Missing out on such a man, she would absolutely cry her heart out.

Ah, just agreeing like that. Zhao Xuran was still thinking about how to speak, reminiscing how Zhao Guangran told Cao Na, never expecting Gong Ruini to agree so quickly, it truly surprised him.

"You agreed?"

"No take-backs." Zhao Xuran was excited, "Let’s find a time to have dinner together."

"Without Guangran and them, just the two of us."

Watching Zhao Xuran, usually so composed, now so excited he could hardly speak straight, Gong Ruini smiled. Could this sudden burst of excitement show how charming she is?

"Alright." Naturally, Gong Ruini had no objection—softening a little when appropriate is still necessary.

Gong Ruwen was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that while he was just going to see Chu Ling off, he would hear this.

His sister was still so young, and just like that, Zhao Xuran took her away, instantly making his mood complex.

"Ah, is Zhao Xuran confessing?" Chu Ling was full of astonishment, truly shocked, not just because Gong Ruini was young, but also because Zhao Xuran was always so calm.

Calm enough that Chu Ling thought he would wait until Gong Ruini graduated from college to confess, yet he did it this early, truly unexpected.

Chu Ling’s words caused Gong Ruwen to be slightly alerted. Was she getting close to them for Zhao Xuran?

Gong Ruini didn’t know, but Gong Ruwen was aware of Zhao Xuran’s popularity. Not only did Uncle Zhao’s business partners subtly express a desire for deeper relations,

but also several people with backgrounds, conveyed via Zhuge Zhi, expressed similar interests—so it’d be understandable for Chu Ling to feel intrigued.

Gong Ruwen wasn’t anxious before because he knew Zhao Xuran’s feelings for his sister, but with Chu Ling’s moves, surely others would follow.

What if someone succeeds? Gong Ruwen was definitely all for his sister being with his good buddy.

"Yes, Xuran and Ni Zi have a great relationship. It’s perfectly normal for them to be together."

"Their relationship can’t be shaken by outsiders." Gong Ruwen’s words were half a warning.

What does that mean, was he trying to warn her? Chu Ling pinched her nose. Zhao Xuran may be popular, yet knowing he has someone he likes or loves,

whoever tries to come between them is bound to fail.

Especially after privately learning about what Zhao Xuran’s done, who could still see him as naive? This guy has a dark heart.
