Lin Luoran clearly felt that since she returned from Taobao, the atmosphere between her and Liu Zhi had undergone a subtle change. The tacit understanding they used to share side by side seemed to have been strangled by her few words.

  They didn't have the heart to go anywhere else for fun, and they still had the matter of Liu Zhao and Liu Shi's stall to deal with, so the two took a flight back to R City the next day.

  The airport is still an hour's drive from R City. Lin Luoran carried his luggage and didn't want to sit in Liu Zhuo's car to go back, nor did he want to take a taxi. Fortunately, Wang Miao had nothing to do that day and was eager to come pick up Lin Luoran, which made Lin Luoran feel relieved. They said their goodbyes at the airport with Liu Zhuo.

  She is a procurement, with great flexibility at work, originally as a consultant, this time just helped Liu's family to make a profit, before the next big purchase, I estimate she can rest for a long time.

  Baojia had already left for the Imperial Capital before Lin Luoran could go to Ruili. The reason was unclear, and even Liu Zhen didn't seem to know what she was doing there. Until now, she still hasn't returned. When Lin Luoran called her, Baojia spoke hastily every time, as if something had happened in the Imperial Capital that made Lin Luoran worried.

  "How's it going?" Wang Miaoer asked with a wink while driving.

  Lin Luoran was confused and didn't know what she wanted to ask. Wang Miao'e coughed twice: "You and Boss Xiao Liu..."

  "Wang sister, where did you think of this? Manager Liu has a fiancée! Don't make this kind of joke again next time!" Lin Luo was speechless. At the warm dinner party, even Lin's mother asked behind his back, why does everyone like to pair her with Liu Zhao?

  Wang Miao'e nodded and muttered: "As long as the hoe is swung well, there's no corner of the wall that can't be dug."

  Lin Luoran finally decided to turn her face away and look at the green belt, ignoring her.

  Wang Miao'e shifted the topic, "I said, little sister, didn't you want to give a surprise gift to your sister last time? It's been so long, why haven't I heard anything?"

  Wang Miao'e didn't mention it, and Lin Luo Ran almost forgot about the matter. This question touched her weak spot, making her forget the previous awkwardness, and she quickly promised Wang Miao'e that the gift would be delivered to her hands soon.

  Finally, she couldn't help but scold: "Who asks about other people's gifts?"

  Wang Miao'e suddenly turned the steering wheel, laughing: "Am I an ordinary person?!" Lin Luo'er smiled wryly, which actually alleviated a lot of her worries about Bao Jia Di and her ambiguous feelings towards Liu Zhen.

  Although it's been less than a week since leaving home, Lin Luoran still has some concerns about her family, wondering if Xiaoluodong and her parents are doing well. Are her parents able to calm their minds now?

  When they arrived home, opening the front door, Wang Miao wanted to park the car in the garage. Lin Luo Ran first looked at a somewhat exaggerated black sports car already parked inside the garage.

  It's strange, her family has never had any wealthy relatives before, and besides, they just moved to this place, who could it be?

  "Dad, Mom, Luo Dong, are you there?"

  Lin Luoran rushed into the house and shouted. Xiao Luo Dong was the first to run out from the backyard, with mud still on his face. Seeing Lin Luoran return, he was overjoyed.

  Lin Luo Ran handed over the gifts he bought from Ruili to him and patted his head: "Have Lin Papa and Mama gone out?"

  Lin Luo Dong nodded, "Buy vegetables."

  Did you go to buy vegetables? Lin Luo Ran was even more surprised, the family had always been eating the vegetables grown in her space, rarely eating meat, familiar friends, Bao Jia was in the Imperial Capital, Wang sister was by her side, even Cui Chubby loved the special vegetables of the Lin family, where did they need to go out and buy vegetables? Thinking of the black sports car with an exaggerated shape in the garage, Lin Luo Ran felt a little nervous.

  Who exactly came?

  "Ah!" The red-painted gate was pushed open, and Lin Mama and Lin Papa walked in together. Both of their hands were empty, where were the dishes?

  "Xiao Ran, you've finally come back!" Lin's mother saw her daughter standing in the courtyard, her eyes lit up, and she also greeted Wang Miao'e, holding Lin Luo Ran's hand with a big smile. "Your friend arrived yesterday, saying he had something important to discuss with you."

  "Friend?" Lin Luo was suspicious. Which friend would stay at home and wait for her all day? Just as she was about to ask her mother, someone walked in from outside the door -

  He's about 1.8 meters tall, good-looking and well-dressed, but the several big bags of vegetables in his hands ruined his image, and the beef in that bag was still dripping with water!

  "Lin Luo Ran's surprise was written all over his face, and he couldn't help but point at a family cooking man dressed as Mu Tian Nan."

  This rascal, how did he run into her home!

  "Xiao Ran, you've finally come back." Mu Tian Nan's mouth split into a smile, revealing a row of white teeth, but in Lin Luo Ran's eyes, they seemed cold and terrifying.

  ******

  "Mom, how can you let people in so casually without even checking if they have ulterior motives?" Lin Luo Ran rubbed her temples, her parents' lack of vigilance and their honest nature made it hard for her to feel at ease.

  Lin Ma said, "Xiao Mu is so dignified and wouldn't covet our family's belongings... Isn't he your friend? This kid has a sweet mouth and is quite diligent, don't speak randomly about others."

  Lin's mother had one more thing to say, the most important thing was that she had asked around and this young man had a good impression on her daughter, and he was still single, truly a great match that was hard to find even with a lantern.

  Lin Luo Ran couldn't understand her parents' worries that she had become a real "leftover woman", so she could only pinch her nose and temporarily tolerate the fact that she was staying at Mo Tian Nan's house - anyway, she was back now, and after dinner, she would get rid of Mo Tian Nan!

  Because of Mu Tian Nan's presence, Wang Miao E and he didn't get along, they didn't even stay for dinner and left early.

  Xing Mu's was shameless, couldn't see Lin Luo Ran's dark face, at the dinner table he kept praising Lin mom's cooking skills, saying Lin dad's dish selection was good, and even said Lin Luo Dong's mud figurine was well-made... really treating sweet words as free cabbage!

  In short, after dinner, Lin Luoran watched as Mu Tian Nan chatted with her parents, listening intently to their gossip about trivial village matters, and for a moment, he didn't seem like the arrogant young master he usually was.

  Seeing the beaming smiles on her parents' faces and Xiao Luodong's sparkling eyes, Lin Luoran wanted to speak up and drive them away several times, but she swallowed her words back each time.

  It was almost ten o'clock when Little Luodong couldn't help but yawn and his little head nodded, that's when Lin Mama suddenly realized:

  "Look, Auntie talks a lot, it's hard for you to listen for so long... Today is already so late, why don't you just stay over instead? It's delayed your time and didn't even have time to chat with Xiao Ran in detail, I feel really sorry about that."

  Mo Tian Nan did not refuse, Lin Ma looked at herself with a full face of expectation, and Lin Luo Ran reluctantly nodded stiffly to indicate her agreement.

  "When they passed by, Lin Luo Ran asked in a low voice with some resentment: 'What are you running here for, who is your good friend again?'"

  Mù Tiān Nán rubbed his smiling face, which was a bit sour, and leaned in with some ambiguity, also responding in a low voice: "I'll come do something, you understand."

  Lin's mother and father exchanged a glance, then Lin's father carried the drowsy Luo Dong out with Lin's mother, leaving only Lin Luoran and Mu Tian Nan in the living room.

  Looking at Lin's mother with that sneaky look, it was clearly a misunderstanding. Lin Luo Ran looked at Mu Tian Nan's smiling face and felt a headache:

  This is really a troublemaker living in our home, I don't know how to get rid of him!
