"Then you must be careful. If everything is fine on our end, we’ll naturally come to find you."

"Got it, Mommy. I was wrong. It won’t happen again."

Ye Ranran’s expression slightly improved.

"Come, baby, come to Aunt Rou." Fan Rou stretched out her hand to him.

Jun Xiaobao walked over.

Fan Rou picked him up. "The baby is really getting big. Aunt Rou can hardly lift you anymore."

"Then Aunt Rou, hurry and have a baby so I can play with it."

"A baby needs to be taken care of, not played with."

Who taught him that? Fan Rou glanced at Ye Ranran, who shrugged, indicating her innocence.

"Oh, I can teach him reading, writing, playing ball, playing the piano, and assembling models." Jun Xiaobao counted the things he could do.

"So does the baby like boys or girls?"

"Boys, not girls." Jun Xiaobao frowned.

"Why? Aren’t girls cute? Aren’t they nice?"

"No, they’re too delicate and clingy."

Something’s up, Fan Rou held him a bit higher and said, "Oh, does someone cling to you?"

"Those people at school."

Even when he went to the restroom, someone would follow him. It was really annoying.

He didn’t even know what they wanted.

"I’m capable of playing, they can’t, yet they keep giving me chocolates and some weird letters, saying they want to be with me. The problem is, we have nothing to talk about, and we can’t play together. Why would I hang out with them?"

It’s really baffling.

"What about those letters?" Ye Ranran suddenly asked.

"I threw them away. Do you want to see them?" Jun Xiaobao gave her a strange look. "Those handwritings aren’t even as good as mine. If you want to see, I can write something for you."

"Then write me something tonight."

"Write what?" Jun Mochan walked in from outside.

Suited up, he looked handsome and dashing. Over the years, it seemed like time had stopped on him, without leaving a trace.

"Nothing. Is everything outside okay?"

"It’s fine. Grandpa is waiting outside. Let’s go."

Fan Rou put Jun Xiaobao down, and Jun Mochan took him out.

Ye Ranran helped Fan Rou adjust her makeup. After ensuring everything was fine, they walked out together.

At the entrance, the old Jun stood there.

Fan Rou took his arm and walked in with him.

Actually, there’s no need for anyone to accompany her at her engagement, but Ye Ranran deliberately added this procedure, merely to announce to everyone.

Fan Rou is under the protection of the Jun family. Don’t bully her just because she has no parents.

After the engagement ceremony, at night.

Fan Rou sat on the big bed, feeling quite conflicted.

Lan Shao came out after showering, seeing the wrinkles between her eyebrows, asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, we’re engaged now, should we sleep together?"

"Don’t want to?"

Would it seem pretentious to say no? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Fan Rou pondered how to answer, when Lan Shao sat down beside her. "Not ready yet?"

"Not exactly, just feel, sigh, don’t know how to put it."

Do you have to live together after getting engaged?

Not necessarily.

"If you feel it’s too fast, we can just continue as before," Lan Shao said.

"Would you agree?" Now it was Fan Rou’s turn to be surprised.

"Naturally, these things shouldn’t be forced."

He knew the knot in her heart—merely wanting to present the most perfect mate before him.

With this small wish, why wouldn’t he fulfill it for her?

"Then I’ll go back to the guest room first." Fan Rou escaped in a hurry.
