Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 891 - 893: Bootlicking

Cao Na listened to Zhao Guangran and looked surprised. "Ah, are you serious?"

"Do I ever lie?" Zhao Guangran added, "If anyone nags in front of your mom in the future, tell them it’s my brother who has a partner."

Cao Na knew that Zhao Xuran liked Gong Ruini, just judging by how tense he was when Ni Zi was unconscious.

"That’s good." Cao Na genuinely welcomed the idea of becoming sisters-in-law with Gong Ruini.

Even though Ni Zi was older and she’d have to call her sister-in-law, it’s still better than having a haughty sister-in-law.

The support from the Cao family is there, but its extent depends on how long Grandpa will live, while the Zhao family’s support is not negligible.

Having a sister-in-law who doesn’t get along with her, just thinking about it made Cao Na want to cry.

"Rest assured, my mom is aware."

"Look at all those people talking, did my mom ever bring it up?" Cao Na was unimpressed by Zhao Guangran’s little schemes.

Neither Cao Na nor the rest of the Cao family ever thought of introducing Zhao Xuran to anyone in their social circle.

No matter how capable the Zhao family is, would they really support both families? It’s obvious that Zhao Xuran, being the eldest son of the Zhao family, would receive their support.

Especially after knowing Zhao Xuran’s intentions, the Cao family wouldn’t do something so foolish.

"By the way, what do you mean when you say I’ll meet Ni Zi in the future?" Cao Na was worried about how to face Gong Ruini ahead.

"Just keep calling her Ni Zi; I’m not going to call her sister-in-law." Zhao Guangran casually remarked that the chances of him calling Gong Ruini sister-in-law were low.

Ah, not calling her sister-in-law? Cao Na wasn’t surprised by Zhao Guangran’s answer, as he grew up with Gong Ruini and always treated her like a sister, it’s strange to suddenly change to sister-in-law.

But Zhao Guangran can do that, he has the privilege of being willful, whereas Cao Na does not.

Despite her inner turmoil, Cao Na currently doesn’t need to call her sister-in-law, but in the future will she really not?

Cao Na kept staring at Gong Ruini, thinking she wanted to tease her a bit; Gong Ruini didn’t worry.

Although from an age perspective, she showed signs of early romance, she was a sophomore, so what’s wrong with having a boyfriend?

"Ah, you’ve been staring at me all day, and it’s about this?" Gong Ruini was surprised that Cao Na could wrestle with this issue for so long.

Gong Ruini really admired Cao Na, "Just call me by my name."

Calling her sister-in-law felt a bit awkward for Gong Ruini, "Plus, I know Guangran definitely won’t call me sister-in-law."

Ha, you guessed right, "Actually, if you and your husband call me brother, that could work too."

Zhao Guangran found the idea amusing.

Them calling him brother? Gong Ruini watched Zhao Guangran, who was already lost in his fantasy, and decided, since it’s his wish, "I’ll make it happen."

"I’ll tell Brother Xu Ran when I get back." No problem for her, the question was if Zhao Guangran could handle it.

Ah, wait, letting older brother call him brother, Zhao Guangran dared only to imagine it, but not let his big brother call him that, "Ni Zi, my dear sister."

"No, you’re my sister-in-law, you know I’m just joking." Zhao Guangran was about to cry, he was just thinking out loud and somehow Gong Ruini seized the opportunity.

Joking? Gong Ruini snorted, "That’s not a good joke, you better call me sister-in-law then, or I’ll really be worried."

Ahhh, calling Ni Zi sister-in-law forever seemed fine to utter once, but continuously, Zhao Guangran truly couldn’t bring himself to do it.

"Isn’t this supposed to be kept secret?" Zhao Guangran recalled the family’s instructions, not worried about damaging Zhao Xuran’s reputation, but concerned this might bring trouble for Gong Ruini if spread.

"You can use it in private." Gong Ruini naturally knew it was confidential, but there were always chances to call her sister-in-law.

Crying, Zhao Guangran really felt like slapping his cheek a few times, just look at what he had turned the situation into with his talkative mouth.

Regret wouldn’t help now, but he could only agree to what he considered an unfair deal.

"But as a sister-in-law, you have to be good to your little brother-in-law." Wanting him to call her sister-in-law comes at a cost. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Shouldn’t you, the little brother-in-law, be good to me?" Gong Ruini looked puzzled, "If I’m your sister-in-law, shouldn’t you be the one flattering me?"

What if I say bad things about you in front of your brother; wouldn’t you be doomed?

Would he be afraid of her talking bad about him in front of his brother? "I’m not worried, really not."

"Because my brother will always think of you first, then of me." Zhao Guangran had figured it out, "I better worry about how to make money."

"Depending on my brother, I’d rather not." Zhao Guangran spoke with determination.

"Plus, I’m a man, I must work hard."

Whoa, when did Zhao Guangran become so assertive? Gong Ruini was quite surprised, but then again, if a man doesn’t work hard himself, who else can he rely on?

"Good luck." Gong Ruini could only wish Zhao Guangran the best.

"That’s a must, but if sister-in-law says how good I am in front of my brother, I have no issue with that."

"If the new factory has my shares, that would be even better." Zhao Guangran subtly moved the topic to the main point.

About his shares, Gong Ruini smiled, "As long as you work well, your brother will look after you."

Sigh, rejecting him like that, Zhao Guangran was sent packing, "Ni Zi, you’re really inconsiderate, if you’d have thought of me in the profitable business earlier."

Yes, Zhao Guangran was jealous, if Gong Ruini had approached them initially, would he really have disagreed?

"If I told you, would you agree?" Gong Ruini actually wondered how she would open up.

Now unlike the future, feminine hygiene products are vastly advertised, and even little kids know and can calmly watch those adverts.

People now are so reserved, especially Zhao Guangran being a boy, and even knowing what it means for women, asking them to understand feminine products is awkward.

"If I explain it to you, would you understand?"

"Could you offer an opinion?"

"This, this." Zhao Guangran was cornered by Gong Ruini’s questions, retreating with sweat trickling down his forehead.

"How would I know?" He could brag about trying it, but had no practical use.

"Since you don’t know, then why chase something you don’t understand? Better think of what kids like." Nowadays, it’s easier to earn women’s and children’s money.

Women’s money isn’t something a straightforward guy like Zhao Guangran understands, so instead, he ought to understand children’s wants.

Gong Ruini thought this adapted well to Zhao Guangran, surely he’ll have good ideas.

Gong Ruini really believed this suggestion suited Zhao Guangran, but couldn’t resist the childishness.
