Chapter 1486 - 1488

"I am not someone who’s easily snatched away."

"No one would tolerate me either." Zhao Xuran kept caressing Gong Ruini’s hair.

"In their eyes, only Guang Ran meets their criteria."

"They don’t know how awesome you are." In university, it wasn’t just that they often went in and out together, discouraging some people.

More importantly, Zhao Xuran wore the simplest clothes, had nothing valuable on him, and classmates around him were unaware of his situation, so why would they be interested?

"Why should they know my specifics?"

"What they know about me comes with so much background." Without a wealthy family to back him, Zhao Xuran really didn’t think he’d be favored by girls.

"We’ve walked this path together since we were little, and we’ll keep walking it slowly together."

"We’ll go to grad school together, wait for our child to be born together, educate our child together."

"Maybe when I’m old, if someone asks my greatest achievement in this life, I’d say it’s being lucky to know you, understand you, and walk through life with you."

"Ni Zi, I promised, and I will absolutely do it." He lifted Gong Ruini’s head and gently kissed her forehead.

The careful gesture was akin to kissing something precious.

Oh my god, Gong Ruzhi initially had a good mood, but after receiving a call from a good buddy, his mood took a downturn.

Never thought that after hanging up the call, he’d see his sister and brother-in-law showing intimacy.

Isn’t today New Year’s Eve? How come all that happened are upsetting things.

"Move aside." Gong Ruzhi didn’t want to speak up, just allowing his sister and brother-in-law to continue their romantic display.

But it’s really late now, if he doesn’t say something to stop them, he’s worried they’d continue with their affection; can he still attend class?

In Gong Ruzhi’s view, today being New Year’s Eve without any holiday break is really inhumane, allowing a day off would be a nice choice.

Though he thinks this way, Gong Ruzhi wouldn’t dare truly act on it.

Oh wow, Xiao Zhi already finished the call? Gong Ruini blushed in embarrassment, even though she felt they hadn’t done much, it’s just hugging, and someone gave her a peck.

The point is, the kiss was on the forehead, truly nothing inappropriate for children.

Gong Ruini mentally prepared herself, looked up at Gong Ruzhi, and at this moment, she definitely couldn’t let this kid see any issues.

"Can we have breakfast now?" Noticing his sister had a bit of fighting spirit on her.

Before, Gong Ruzhi might have thought of bantering with Gong Ruini, but now he really had no such interest.

"Yes, yes." Gong Ruzhi didn’t pursue this topic, and Gong Ruini also breathed a sigh of relief.

Scanning the boy’s gloomy expression, Gong Ruini felt a bit reluctant, "Oh, today is New Year’s Eve, although we’re not in the country."

"Even if just the few of us celebrating, albeit a bit deserted, there should still be the festive spirit."

"Though mom and dad aren’t here, there are still New Year’s money." Gong Ruini worked hard to bring up a topic to cheer up Gong Ruzhi.

"How about we skip class today?" At this time, going to school would make them late, wouldn’t it?

If that’s the case, there’s no need to go to school; it’d be better to go out and have fun.

Especially given this fellow’s bad mood, sigh, encountering such upsetting things during New Year’s, it really has no bounds.

Although the heart agrees with this suggestion in various ways, Gong Ruzhi looked hesitant, "Can we?"

"Of course we can. By the way, how is Xiao Hui’s mood?" Gong Ruini asked while eating breakfast.

How’s his mood? Gong Ruzhi shrugged, "Do you think it could be good?"

"Almost got into a fight with aunt." Previously, Gong Ruzhi absolutely wouldn’t believe it; after all, it was the aunt, the one typically so gentle.

Now, he believes this possibility is pretty high.

Oh, that’s terrifying, Gong Ruini was startled and nearly jumped; this situation is a bit off, almost came to blows.

"What about uncle.." Isn’t their uncle always good at handling matters, why hasn’t he stepped up?

Uncle, Gong Ruzhi shrugged, "You know uncle always gets held by aunt completely."

Obviously a notable figure in the business field, yet once he faces women, can’t manage at all, really don’t get it.

Alright, Gong Ruini understood, "This matter mom can’t step in either." Wan Qiweng is very approachable when being approachable.

But once she has a firm idea, she’s not easily swayed, very determined to accomplish the goal.

Cai Meina, on the other hand, is someone who can easily be swayed by a word from others, Gong Ruini can only bow to Wan Yihui.

"However, Mr. Wan must step in now." Gong Ruzhi can only hope that this elder can persuade Wan Qiweng.

Oh, Mr. Wan stepping in? Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran exchanged surprised glances, "He hasn’t managed affairs in a long time, right?"

As the years went by, with Cai Ming and others capable of handling things independently, Mr. Wan rarely leaves the house except occasionally visiting old friends.

Moreover, not only does he rarely go out, even when there’s internal family matters, he lets Wan Qiweng and them handle it.

Not sure how Mr. Wan’s intervention will unfold this time, whether he’ll agree or not agree.

Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Xuran, the latter gave her a helpless smile, "No matter what, it all depends on how Xiao Hui operates."

"But I can assure you, if he continues acting out like this, the one who’ll suffer will only be him."

"No one would be pleased to see their children threatened, think about Xiao Zhi’s previous actions."

Brought up again, sigh, Gong Ruzhi lowered his head to eat, this is his dark past, even though he changed for the better long ago, why does brother-in-law keep bringing it up.

"Do you really think you stayed because uncle came?" Even if Gong Ruzhi lowered his head, Zhao Xuran knew this kid was smirking.

Isn’t that so? Gong Ruini looked up, Gong Ruzhi was surprised, he always believed it was uncle’s doing, of course, him being moderately defensive played a role.

Such a straightforward guy, "Dad told me, it was mom who saw the target you set."

"She saw your efforts and knew staying in the United States would be beneficial to your career."

"In contrast, what can Xiao Hui do coming to the United States?"

"Study? Can’t he study in domestic and come to the United States during university like Guang Ran?"

"And after half a year, if Xiao Hui truly has the strong desire to study abroad, he should be well-prepared."

"But according to my information, initially, he easily dismissed this notion with his words to aunt."

Even without knowing how Gong Ruzhi and Wan Yihui typically communicate, this kid surely boasts all kinds of happiness he’s experiencing in the United States.

Wan Yihui, with a word from Gong Ruzhi, would probably get impulsive and think about coming to the United States.

"Coming to the United States is easy, the hard part is having a goal; does he have one?"
