Wishing I could fly to his side

  Gu Xinran still had a relaxed and calm tone, "Alright, with sister-in-law here, you don't have to always worry about me."

  "You... are you trying to drive me mad?" Mrs. Gu had always been strong-willed, but she was at a loss when it came to this unreasonable daughter of hers.

  Ye Shanshan quickly returned with the food, noticing that her mother-in-law's expression was not quite right. She hurried over to help her younger sister out of the situation: "Mom, let Xiaoran go upstairs and change first, the dessert soup is ready, or I'll serve you a bowl to try?"

  "Also give me a bowl, I'll be right down." Gu Xinran took the opportunity to slip away. Before leaving, she still didn't forget to throw her sister-in-law a grateful glance.

  Watching her daughter quickly escape, Old Lady Gu could only sigh helplessly. "I asked you to persuade her, but instead you're on the same side as her."

  "Mom, don't worry too much. Some things... are better left to nature. If she doesn't want to, no matter how hard you try to persuade her, it's useless." Listening to Ye Shanshan speak, she seemed like a seasoned daughter-in-law, with a calm tone and proper words.

  All these things that Shanshan said, Mrs. Li knew, but she just couldn't put her mind at ease. "You don't know, Xiaoran and Beichen are different. Beichen got married late too, but as long as you tell him, he will still cooperate with meeting people. Xiaoran is not so obedient, not only does she not cooperate, but also gets angry with me! It's like I'm trying to push her into a fire pit!"

  Ye Shanshan suddenly looked puzzled and asked a meaningless question, "How many objects have you introduced to Beichen before?"

  "Not many, just over ten, definitely no more than twenty." Old Lady Gu didn't think much and spoke the truth.

  Alas, a dozen or so is still not enough, are you choosing concubines for your son?!

  The daughter-in-law didn't say a word, and it wasn't until then that the old lady realized she had misspoken. "It's all in the past, don't take it to heart, no matter how many there were, he still ended up choosing you."

  "I... I was just casually asking, didn't mean anything else." Ye Shanshan was miserably buried by her own pit and took the opportunity to slip away with the soup, "You sit for a while first, I'll go get the soup."

  Gu Xiran quickly changed her clothes and came down, the three of them chatted idly in the small living room while drinking sweet soup. Suddenly, a excited scream came from the living room. "Oh, the little princess of the Gu family is back," "Mommy's new car is back, take me out for a spin."

  Ye Shanshan hastily went out to greet him, "Xiao Xiao, come quick and see who's back."

  Gu Xiran was a head taller than Ye Shanshan, standing behind her and towering over her by half a head. He smiled and thought it was hard to notice that she had returned early, "Auntie? Why did you come back ahead of schedule?"

  "Want to laugh and laugh." Gu Xinran quickly walked up, hugged the little princess in her arms and spun around on the spot, "Hmm, taller and heavier too."

  Hugging and spinning around is so childish, laughing and struggling to get down, "Hmph, I'm already in elementary school now, I'm a big kid, don't hug me and spin around anymore."

  Ye Shanshan took Xiaoxiao down with a smile, "No manners, how can you talk to your aunt like that!"

  "Mummy, let's take the new car out for a spin." The little girl seemed uninterested in her aunt returning early; what she wanted to do most now was go for a ride in Mummy's new car.

  "It's almost time for dinner, let's go tomorrow." The little girl who was left aside had a strange expression, Ye Shanshan quickly pulled Xixi to her side, "Auntie bought you a mousse cake, I'll go get you a piece, you chat with her for a while first."

  For the sake of Mus cake, Xiao laughed and stopped arguing, got into the new car to go for a ride, and pulled her aunt back to the small living room.

  Having witnessed Xiao Xiao's obedience to her sister-in-law, Gu Xinran couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion, "Children with mothers are just different."

  The little ghost was pleased with herself and proudly raised her head, "Of course, Xiao Xiao is a well-behaved child who listens to Mommy's words."

  Having been a mother for decades, she was not as good at handling the child as her daughter-in-law who had only been a mother for a few months. The old lady felt more and more resentful, her tone becoming harsher, "Your aunt wasn't as obedient as you."

  "Let Mom teach her well." The little devil sprinkled a handful of salt on Grandma's wound.

  Xiao Xiao was just joking, but Gu Lao Tai took it seriously. Now that the old man and Xiao Xiao are both here, dinner is still a while away, so she might as well discuss some serious matters with Shan Shan.

  The old woman looked sneaky, and Ye Shanshan was completely confused, "What's the matter that you have to hide here to say?"

  "I've asked someone to find a good match for Xiao Ran, you tell her about it and let her go take a look in the next two days." Although the kitchen and living room were far apart, Mrs. Gu still deliberately lowered her voice.

  "What am I supposed to say?" Ye Shanshan pointed at her own nose, disbelieving. "It's not very good, and... she might not even listen to me."

  "You go try, I see you're quite persuasive when you talk, maybe she'll listen." Old Lady Gu had no way to deal with her own daughter, now the only one she could count on was her daughter-in-law.

  The grandma was anxious, and Ye Shanshan couldn't bear to refuse, "What kind of person is he?"

  "He's a relative of Old Wu from your aunt's side, a big lawyer who returned from studying in the United States, and is about the same age as Beichen. Your aunt took me to see him last time, he's very steady and looks good too." Since her son got married, Mrs. Gu's energy naturally shifted to her youngest daughter. If the conditions weren't right, she wouldn't dare take Xiaoran to meet him either. "You talk to her first, if she's interested, I'll show her his photo first."

  "I... I'll give it a try." The young girl was strong-willed, and Ye Shanshan had no idea what to do, so she could only force herself to go along with it.

  "Go, say a few more good words to her, at least let her meet people." After searching back and forth for so long, Old Lady Gu was most satisfied with this object, and she also hoped that this matter could be settled.

  While eating dinner, Ye Shanshan was distracted and didn't know how to bring up the topic with his sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, as soon as he put down his bowl and chopsticks, his sister-in-law spoke up first, "Sister, why don't you stay over tonight?"

  The little girl's expression was relaxed, and Ye Shanshan couldn't guess her intentions at all. "Huh? What's going on? These past few days, Xiaoxiao and I have been staying here, what's up?"

  "Come with me to the study, I'll show you something." Gu Shaojie was as swift and decisive as Gu Shouzhong, saying this as he pulled his sister-in-law up from her seat.

  "I'm going too." The mischievous little ghost hastily put down his bowl and chopsticks, wanting to follow along.

  "Sit down!" Old Lady Gu hastily intercepted, "They have very important things to discuss, don't go and disturb them!"

  Xiao Xiao pouted unhappily, "What can't be told to Xiao Xiao?"

  Finally, Ye Shanshan had to come out, "That... I'm going upstairs with my aunt to discuss visiting the troops, we'll be right back, you go watch cartoons for a bit."

  "Alright." The matter of visiting relatives was indeed important. Xiaoxiao weakly retorted with a smile and had no choice but to stay behind obediently.

  The two sisters-in-law went to the study together. Before Ye Shanshan could speak, Gu Xinran had already guessed the reason why she didn't let Xiaoxiao come along, "Did Mom say something to you?"

  "Ah?" Gu Shaoxiao took the initiative and gave Ye Shanshan a surprise attack.

  Gu Xiran had already turned on the computer but wasn't in a hurry to operate it, "You go first."

  "You've already guessed it, what else can I say?" Director Gu is so clever, his sister at home shouldn't be stupid either. Ye Shanshan's current situation is very embarrassing.

  Gu Xinran barely held back her smile and said calmly, "Since Mom has entrusted you with this task, you should at least take responsibility for it."

  "Alright, it's you who made me say this, wait a minute don't get angry... 'That... is like this, Dad and Mom about your lifelong matter...'"

  "Get to the point, whose young master is it?" Gu Xinran was also a hot-headed person, in this aspect she was just like Old Lady Gu.

  Isn't it said that you're not interested in this matter at all? Why are you so anxious!

  After coughing lightly twice, Ye Shanshan directly cut to the point, "Do you know Director Fang of Mom's unit?"

  "I know, the younger sister of General Fang next door has always had a good relationship with our family. If I'm not mistaken, they only have two daughters at home." Captain Gu's memory was always good, how could she possibly not know such an important person? Speaking of this Aunt Fang, her daughter even brought someone back home for her brother to meet, unfortunately, her brother thought the other person was too timid and after chatting for ten minutes found an excuse to leave.

  "He's a relative from your aunt's husband's side, a lawyer, just returned from studying in the US last year, and is about the same age as your brother. Your mom has already met him, he's very steady and good-looking, do... you want to go take a look?"

  Gu Xinran paused slightly and lightly changed the subject, "By the way... how did you and my brother get to know each other? Given my mom's personality, she shouldn't have found him a daughter-in-law as young as you."

  "Hmph, Ye Shanshan is someone who has been trained by Gu Shouchang, it's not that easy to fool her. 'Don't change the subject, you still haven't given me an answer.'"

  The trick of making a false appearance to the east while attacking in the west did not succeed, so Gu Xinran could only think of another plan. "Let's make a deal, you tell me about how you met my brother, and I'll obediently go on a blind date with you, how about it?"

  "Deal!" Ye Shanshan almost didn't think before giving an answer.

  Uh...... Captain Gu was taken aback by her straightforwardness and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

  "That's settled then, wait a minute and I'll go tell mom to arrange the time." Ye Shanshan was single-mindedly thinking about how to complete her mother-in-law's task, and didn't care about anything else.

  "Alright, I'll listen to you this time. But...I have a condition." Discussing marriage with a man she had never met before was the most embarrassing and boring thing Gu Xiner could imagine, so it was necessary to bring someone along for company five years ago.

  "You say." Ye Shanshan thought in her heart: as long as you nod, it's all right.

  "Come with me." Gu Shao threw out a grenade lightly.

  Umm... accompanying a young girl on a blind date and whatnot, how does that work?

  "Not...alright?" Ye Shanshan paid the price for her own impatience and rashness.

  "Never mind, I wasn't really interested anyway..."

  "Let's go, I'll accompany you!" Mom was stretching her neck waiting, Ye Shanshan didn't want to disappoint the old lady.

  Having settled the important matters, Ye Shanshan suddenly remembered to ask her little sister what she had called her to the study for. "By the way, what was it that you wanted me to see?"

  "You first tell me about your romance with my brother." Xīn Rán said, while opening a webpage and preparing to log in to her personal blog.

  "Cough...cough..." Ye Shanshan was choked, "Not romantic at all, can it still be called a romance?"

  "It's also true that my brother doesn't seem to have any romantic cells in his body." Gu Xinran shrugged with a helpless expression, "He's serious and rigid, and always likes to lecture people. I really don't know what you see in him."

  "He's got a steady personality, a sense of responsibility, and... he's also good-looking." Ye Shanshan didn't have any backbone at all, once someone provoked her, she'd say anything.

  Gu Xiran was slightly choked, she completely agreed with the first two points, but the last one...

  "No matter how good-looking he is, he's already over thirty, don't you think he's old?"

  "What's wrong with that? Everyone will get old, as long as you have a young heart." At this point, Ye Shanshan has always been very open-minded.

  Gu Shao didn't know how to continue communicating with his little sister-in-law, having no dating experience. He quickly opened his personal blog and mysteriously beckoned her over, saying "Come, let me show you something."

  "What's wrong with you?"

  "Look at my brother when he was young." Gu Xinran smiled slyly, pulling over his sister-in-law to sit down. "This is a private collection that can't be seen anywhere else, arranged in chronological order, take your time to look."

  "Wow..." Having only looked at three photos, Ye Shanshan had a foolish expression on her face. Heaven, the Gu Shouchang from ten years ago... no, he wasn't even the captain back then. At that time, he should have been a new recruit who just enlisted, hmm, so young and innocent!

  "Like it?" Ah, didn't prepare a gift for sister-in-law, can only use this to make up the number.

  After being infatuated for a moment, Ye Shanshan quickly regained her composure. "He was indeed very handsome when he was young, but... I still like him more now."

  "Uh..." Gu Xineran was already accustomed to being choked, what kind of reason is this, not liking young and handsome guys, but actually liking older mature men.

  The photos quickly flipped back to five years ago. At that time, Gu's shoulders already had two stripes, and his temperament had become much more steady and mature.

  But what's going on with this beautiful female soldier who took a photo with him? She doesn't even look like Xiao Ran, how can she be so intimate with him?

  Seeing her sister-in-law's sudden change in expression, Gu Xinran couldn't help but lean forward and ask anxiously, "What's going on?"

  "Who... who is she?" Ye Shanshan's tone was clearly somewhat displeased, and Captain Gu was indeed like that, being so familiar with a female soldier.

  Gu Xiran leaned over to take a look, her expression somewhat strange, and after a while, she hesitantly opened her mouth, "This... is the daughter of an old comrade-in-arms who is familiar with my dad. She has been close to our family since childhood. At that time, it seemed like she had just joined the army, and my brother took care of her along the way."

  "Oh, it's childhood friends."

  "What were you thinking, they're not like that." Gu Xinran secretly thought it was bad, originally wanted to give her sister-in-law a special big gift, didn't expect to mess things up like this. "You don't know my brother's temper, once he sets his mind on something, he'll solve it as quickly as possible. If they could have done something, it would have been settled long ago."

  "I... I didn't think much of it either." Ye Shanshan suddenly burst out laughing and quickly skipped over the photo, "It's all in the past, even if they had something going on, I wouldn't mind."

  Gu Xinran finally put her mind at ease, and with a rather heroic air, she patted her sister-in-law's shoulder, "Hmph, indeed has the demeanor, worthy of being favored by Director Gu."

  After being patted by her younger sister-in-law, Ye Shanshan felt guilty instead. Hmm, she didn't have such a broad mind at all, saying that she wouldn't mind on the surface, but in her heart, she still wanted to continue asking questions.

  After flipping through the photos for nearly two years, Ye Shanshan had been tormented by that restless worm and couldn't keep calm. After rolling the words around her mouth for a long time, she still blurted out unintentionally, "Is...she still in the army?"

  This she refers to who, I believe Gu Xinran should be very clear.

  Gu Xinran let out a soft sigh, her face filled with helplessness. In her heart, she thought: Sister is still a big kid after all. If she didn't care about this kind of thing at all, it wouldn't be normal. "It's still going on, and... we're in the same group army." Gu Shao was not someone who would lie, even if saying this would make her sister think wildly and get more agitated. She still chose to tell the truth straightforwardly.

  "Oh." After humming a response, Ye Shanshan didn't say another word. The Gu siblings knew that in the military district, this beautiful female soldier and little sister were in the same army group as Director Gu.

  It can be imagined that Captain Gu spent more time with the female soldier than with her, by a factor of who knows how many times!

  She also knew that Captain Gu and her fellow female soldiers would absolutely be fine, but still, she felt a bit confused in her heart.

  Seeing it wasn't going well, Gu Xinran closed the webpage with a smile, "Whatever, let's just stop at this photo, the rest are all recent ones, no difference from what you've seen."

  "Thank you for giving me such a special gift, I'm glad to have more understanding of him." Hmm, this sentence sounds like it has a double meaning? Compared to the photo itself, the bigger discovery should be the beautiful female soldier who grew up with Gu Shou since childhood.

  Sister-in-law's tone of voice sounded more and more off, so Gu Xinran could only choose to change the subject, "I heard from mom that sister-in-law plans to take Xiaoxiao to the troops for a family visit?"

  The topic was diverted, and Ye Shanshan couldn't help but ask, "I almost forgot about this, my mom asked me to ask you, what's the current situation with your military district? When would it be more suitable for Xiaoxiao and me to go?"

  "Wait a minute, let me check the current weather conditions in City B." Gu Xinran's expression quickly returned to the calm and solemn demeanor befitting a lieutenant colonel. After confirming the weather situation in City B, her face became increasingly serious and somber.

  Ye Shanshan's expression also became tense, "What's wrong?"

  "B city will start snowing tomorrow, and the amount of snowfall won't be small. If it lasts for a long time, our trip might be affected. How about we wait and see for a few days, and make plans after the weather stabilizes over there?" B city's winter is colder than G city, if it snows heavily, traffic will be a big problem, and sister-in-law has never traveled far with a child, so Gu Xiran is worried.

  "In just two more days, it'll be the Little New Year's Eve, and there isn't much time for us to think things over." Upon hearing Xiao Ran say this, Ye Shanshan's mood became increasingly anxious and flustered.

  "If the airport is forced to close, there's nothing we can do." B City's heavy snow was something Xinran had experienced before, and flight delays and airport closures were also common occurrences.

  "Taking the train should be fine." Ye Shanshan had basically made up her mind to brave the wind and rain, and a big snow was not going to stop her from moving forward.

  Gu Xiran continued to pay attention to the news in B City, and replied, "Taking the train takes more than ten hours, and during the Spring Festival travel rush, the passenger flow is not ordinary. It's inconvenient for you to take care of Xiao Xiao."

  "That can't be cancelled just because of the weather, can it?" Ye Shanshan's heart tightened suddenly, her tone somewhat urgent.

  "Don't worry, the heavy snow will melt eventually. There's still over a week until New Year's Eve, it should be enough time."

  "That's true, but... I want to go earlier and spend a few more days with him." If possible, he also wanted to see that beautiful female soldier sister with his own eyes - this sentence Ye Shanshan dared not say out loud, and could only silently recite it in her heart.

  "This matter should be discussed with parents first and ask for their opinions." Traveling on a snowy day is not a joke, Gu Xinran also dare not make a rash decision.

  "Uh, of course, I need to get my parents' approval first, and I'll have to bring Xiaoxiao along too." Ye Shanshan nodded seriously, unconsciously leaning in a bit closer to Xiao Ran, "Let's not talk about the weather for now, I still want to know if visiting him at this time will affect his normal work."

  According to the plan, there will be a relatively large action this week, and if everything goes smoothly, it can be completed within two or three days. The rest are some summary-type work, after summarizing, we also need to prepare for next year's spring joint military exercise, maybe there will be more meetings, but it's not considered busy.

  Xinran is mainly responsible for communication in the troops, she can only understand some of the major trends, if there are any temporary tasks, she won't know either.

  "That's good." Ye Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Right, even if we have to summarize something at the meeting, there will still be a full rest day, right?"

  "Don't worry, my brother will take care of it. You and Xiao Xiao rarely go out together, he definitely won't leave you hanging."

  "I...I didn't mean it." Ye Shanshan hastily denied, "You also know that the fifth day of the new year is his birthday, I wanted to say...that day shouldn't need to work, right?" What Ye Shanshan was most concerned about in her heart wasn't the reunion during the Spring Festival, but how to accompany him on a special birthday.

  "Don't worry, if you go, Master Xu will definitely have arrangements. " Gu Xiran didn't worry about this, but the gossip nature of Gu Shao's bones hadn't been eliminated: "Birthday gifts and all that, are they ready?"

  Ye Shanshan gave a cool glance at the little girl who was trying to pry into her affairs, not intending to let her have her way. "No need for Captain Gu to worry, I've already made preparations."

  Gu Shaoxiao rarely showed a childish expression on his face, "Hey, look at your expression, this birthday gift must be very special."

  "I won't tell you, I'll go downstairs and report the good news to mom." Ye Shanshan was afraid that her little sister would keep asking her questions, so she found an excuse to slip away.

  "What good news are you reporting?" Captain Gu was rarely slow-witted, but he hadn't reacted yet.

  "Of course, you promised to go and meet with the lawyer, finish this matter, I can rest assured to prepare for visiting relatives." It was obvious that Xiaojie was going on a blind date, but Ye Shanshan was more excited than the person involved.

  Blind dates and all that, can't escape after all. Gu Xin Ran was speechless, gazing up at the sky, weakly slumping in her chair.

  Old Lady Gu smiled so much that her mouth couldn't close after hearing the good news from her daughter-in-law, and immediately called Old Director Li. If it weren't already night, she would have arranged to meet today. After some discussion, they finally settled on a meeting time of 2 pm tomorrow.

  After fixing the meeting time, Old Lady Gu began to arrange her daughter's attire. "Shanshan, hurry up and go upstairs to help Xiaoran pick out a couple of more formal outfits. For the first meeting with someone, you can't wear military uniform, it will scare them."

  Ye Shanshan is a standard uniform control, seeing Gu Moulong wearing military uniforms all the time, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with this outfit. "I think Xiaoran looks handsome in military uniform."

  Mrs. Gu insisted, "Girls don't have to be too handsome, they need to show their gentle and virtuous side to others. They are marrying a wife, not finding a bodyguard!"

  Ye Shanshan's eyes sparkled with amusement, "You didn't like Xiaoran being too handsome, so why did you send her to the troops in the first place?"

  This question touched the old lady's sore spot, and as soon as she mentioned it, she became anxious. "Mentioning this makes me angry! It's all your father's fault, saying that our family has never had a daughter in the army, and he insisted on sending Xiaoran to the troops, no matter how hard I tried to stop him."

  Ye Shanshan busily poured a cup of hot tea for her mother-in-law, smiling and comforting her, "It's not bad now, Xiaoran is so excellent, earning face for Dad and Mom."

  The old lady took the teacup and sipped it lightly, her tone somewhat helpless. "I don't ask for excellence from her, just hope she can find a good family to marry into soon."

  It's a pity for parents all over the world. Baobao's feelings are deeply understood by Yeshanshan, but some things really can't be sought after. Two people without fate, no matter how they are matched, it's all in vain.

  After messing around upstairs for half a day, Ye Shanshan finally helped her little sister get dressed up, "Don't say, after getting all dolled up, she actually looks quite like the real deal."

  Gu Shao was forced to wear a skirt and felt uncomfortable all over, "What's the point of wearing a skirt in the middle of winter, won't my legs freeze?"

  "Wearing a coat and boots won't be cold. Besides, the meeting place has heating, so rest assured, you won't freeze." Classmate Ye Shanshan was very satisfied with her own masterpiece.

  Gu Xiran glared at her sister-in-law with a bad temper, "What are you planning to wear?"

  "I'm not the protagonist, no need to dress up, right?" Ye Shanshan was considering whether or not to put on a scarf, and replied absent-mindedly.

  "After all, others have seen the world and we can't be too casual." Gu Xinran replied matter-of-factly, with a sly smile that couldn't be hidden. Heh, whether or not one is the main character isn't important, what's important is having enough charm, it's hard to say who will catch their eye later on."

  "Alright, I'll give up on jeans and wear a skirt with you." Ye Shanshan didn't notice her little sister's evil thoughts at all, and automatically jumped into the pit.

  It wasn't until the second day in the afternoon that Ye Shanshan drove her new car with her little sister to go on a blind date.

  After going in, Gu Xinran reminded her again with a smile, "Remember, you're my cousin."

  Ye Shanshan silently rolled her eyes and diligently helped her younger sister tidy up her slightly disheveled hair, "Got it, you've already said that a few hundred times, aren't you tired of it?"

  Mr. Gu's carefully selected returned overseas lawyer had arrived early, and when Mr. Gu Xiran and Ye Shanshan walked into the teahouse, he was elegantly sipping tea. From his movements, it was not difficult to see that this person should be a refined gentleman with great cultivation.

  Feeling someone approaching, the great lawyer unconsciously lifted his head.

  The two women stood less than three meters away from the great lawyer, with Gu Xinran standing slightly in front due to her taller stature, while Ye Shanshan, who was petite, somewhat uncomfortably hid behind her.

  However, what caught Da Lu Shi's attention first was Ye Shanshan who was hiding behind him.

  Captain Gu's naturally keen intuition told her - this great lawyer was obviously more interested in her sister-in-law!

  Unfortunately, the development of things will inevitably disappoint the great lawyer, "Hello, I am Gu Xineran."

  Gu Shaoxia calmly and naturally took the initiative to greet him, and the lawyer's gaze had to be temporarily cast on her.

  "Hello, I'm Xie Junfan." The great lawyer stood up politely to greet her, his sharp eyes quickly returning to the little girl wearing a Winnie the Pooh scarf pattern, "And who is this?"

  Ye Shanshan took two steps forward with a smile and introduced herself, "My name is Ye Shanshan, she is my cousin."

  After a brief introduction, the three returned to their respective positions.

  Logically, the basic procedure of blind dating should start with both parties introducing themselves further. However, Attorney Xie's first question directly targeted Ye Shanshan, who was dragged here as a prop, "Miss Ye appears to still be a student, what major are you studying?"

  What's going on now? Did the great lawyer mistake his blind date? He should be asking Gu Shaojie questions, why is he so interested in her?

  Ye Shanshan looked at Xiaojie with a embarrassed face, but was met with a mischievous grin. How despicable! Could it be that Gu Shaoxun intentionally brought her here as a shield to avoid blind dates?

  "Hmph, you have your Zhang Liang strategy, I have my own wall ladder. Fortunately, I was prepared early on," she said with a smile. "In fact, I'm already married." As soon as the words left her lips, Ye Shanshan's hand also quietly placed itself on the table, and the ring on her ring finger, although not dazzlingly eye-catching, was enough to reveal her marital status.

  Xie Junfan, the great lawyer, pushed his glasses up with an incredulous expression and slowly opened his mouth after a long pause, "But... I could swear you still look like a college student."

  "Which law states that university students cannot get married?" Ye Shanshan's face was calm, and she actually brought up the law in front of a great lawyer.

  "Indeed, there isn't."

  "What's up with you guys? You chat first, I'll go make a call." The crisis is temporarily resolved. Ye Shanshan decisively chooses to escape. With her around, how can they be relatives?!

  Gu Xiran seemed to have anticipated that the conversation with Lawyer Xie wouldn't last long, and hastily reminded him, "Don't go too far."

  "It's still early, let's chat slowly." Ye Shanshan wouldn't let her have her way.

  Before Gu Zhaocuo could react, Ye Shanshan grabbed her bag and quickly ran away.

  The trick was exposed by Xiao Saozi, and Gu Xinran could only open the skylight to explain, "I think... we don't have much to talk about, do we?"

  Mr. Xie also expressed his agreement, "Don't worry, Miss Gu, I know how to respond to your aunt."

  Gu Xiner was worried about how to return the difference, but unexpectedly the big lawyer was so righteous. "This is best, thank you."

  "No need to be polite, Miss Gu is not my type either." The lawyer was quite frank.

  "I appreciate your candor." Captain Gu smiled and stood up to leave without even taking a sip of tea, "Everyone is busy, let's not waste any more time, goodbye."

  Xie Junfan also stood up, but it wasn't to bid farewell, rather he had a doubt that needed clarification. "May I ask impertinently, was the Miss Ye from earlier really your cousin?"

  "She is my sister-in-law." For some reason, after saying this, a hint of pride appeared on Gu Xiran's face. To say that she should be proud, not every woman can have the good fortune to have a younger sister-in-law ten years younger than herself.

  Mr. Xie was struck by lightning again, and this time it took him even longer to recover. By the time he came back to his senses, the person who had been standing in front of him just a moment before had already walked out the door. He muttered to himself in a low voice: This world is really too crazy!

  Ye Shanshan was still hesitating between the bookstore and the supermarket when suddenly, behind her, Gu Shaojie's high-pitched voice rang out, "The mission is complete, we can withdraw now."

  "So soon?" Ye Shanshan suddenly turned around, with an expression of disbelief.

  Gu Xinran half-jokingly and half-seriously teased, "Others like the cute and lovely type of girl who is dependent on others, just like your sister-in-law. Isn't it a waste of time to continue talking?"

  Ye Shanshan had already been choked into a habit, silently stared at her for a moment, not planning to continue this topic, "Where are we going now? Going home directly or taking a stroll?"

  Gu Xinran didn't rush to decide on the next course of action, but instead gently took his sister-in-law's hand and stared at the ring on her finger, "I didn't expect my brother to be so quick, actually knowing to buy you a ring."

  "He said... This is the proof of my marital status." Recalling the serious expression on Shougun-sama's face when he gave her the ring, a sweet smile floated on Yeshan's face again.

  "Tsk tsk, look at you, you're completely infatuated, can't wait to fly to his side right away, huh?" This time, Gu Xinran's tone was completely joking.

  "Yes." Ye Shanshan answered with a straightforward and decisive tone.

  Looking at her sister-in-law's serious expression, Gu Xinran also didn't dare to say anything funny, "But... B City has really started snowing, and it's not light either."

  Knowing that her sister-in-law was anxious, Gu Xiran got up early to inquire about the weather conditions in City B. Her subordinates reported to her every half hour on the snow depth. After nearly five hours of blizzard, the snow had already exceeded 15 cm. If the blizzard continued, it was almost certain that the airport would be forced to close.

  "It might stop tonight, it won't keep raining until New Year's Eve, will it?" Ye Shanshan remained optimistic.

  As they spoke, Gu Xinran received another weather report message and after scanning it briefly, her expression became even more solemn. "What did Mom and Dad say?"

  "What else can they say, of course safety first. The heavy snow doesn't stop, not only will the airport be closed, but the road conditions won't be good either. Dad also said that we have to wait until all the snow on the road has melted before deciding when to leave." In this matter, Father-in-law's attitude is firm and resolute, Ye Shanshan has no right to speak at all. Of course, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law are also thinking of her and Xiaoxiao's safety, it's understandable that they have such concerns, she doesn't dare to have any dissatisfaction or complaints.

  "This heavy snow will stop when the heavens decide, we can't do anything about it." Gu Xinran hasn't reported the detailed weather conditions in B City to her sister-in-law yet. Now she just hopes this heavy snow will stop soon and let her brother and sister-in-law reunite quickly.

  "Let's not think about things that can't be decided. I want to go to the mall and stroll around, and buy a pair of thicker boots for Xiao Xiao."

  Looking at her sister-in-law's relaxed face, Gu Xinran's expression also eased a bit, "Also buy a pair for yourself, best if it can cover your knees, B city is much colder than here."

  "Hmm." Ye Shuangshuang responded absent-mindedly, suddenly a bright idea flashed in her mind, thinking of a gift that would make both the captain and Xiaoxiao like. The rough outline of the gift quickly took shape in her mind, and the smile on her face grew even more intense.
