Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

"Direct? Just say everything directly?" Lin Meiya looked at Luo Yanran, who was eating across from her, with an expression of hesitation on her face.

Luo Yanran glanced at her; they had both gone to court that morning.

They had arrived back at the company at roughly the same time.

When Lin Meiya suggested they eat together, Luo Yanran agreed and came out with her.

Then Lin Meiya asked her if she and Xie Xiao would ever argue.

Luo Yanran immediately knew there must be problems in Lin Meiya and Qi Yan's marriage.

But since Lin Meiya did not indicate she wanted to speak directly, Luo Yanran did not press for details.

The truth was Lin Meiya's personality was somewhat different from hers and Liu Ou's.

She was much more composed, the type to keep her thoughts to herself and not vocalize them.

She appeared cheerful on the outside but was actually quite sensitive.

Luo Yanran honestly said, "Xie Xiao and I rarely argue. Most of the time, if there is an issue, we just lay it all out on the table..."

Luo Yanran thought of Xie Xiao, and her eyes softened, "From the beginning, Xie Xiao was always straight to the point; he never lets problems linger overnight."

"Direct?" Lin Meiya was clearly taken aback by the term, "Everything direct? Doesn't that feel strange?"

Struggling to find the right word, she genuinely couldn't imagine that being direct about everything wouldn't make life a bit dull.

"It's not that we're direct about everything, but at least in misunderstandings and arguments, being direct is a good solution, isn't it?" Luo Yanran smiled, "Actually, I wasn't used to it at first, but Xie Xiao has always been like this from the start."

Her gaze grew distant, "We met quite early, and at that time, he had liked another girl, really liked her, with eyes only for her..."

Surprise appeared in Lin Meiya's eyes.

When she met Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran, they were already very affectionate. She couldn't imagine Xie Xiao having liked another girl.

"Look, Xie Xiao treats me well, right? He's that kind of person. When he likes someone, he is truly good to them. But back then, he wasn't into me, right? Then suddenly one day, Xie Xiao just boldly entered my life..."

Luo Yanran laughed lightly, "Before that, I had secretly been in love with him for two years."

What was once a bittersweet adolescence now brought a smile to her face.

Because Xie Xiao completely healed her entire youth.

She was so well-embraced by love that even the bitterness of unrequited love eventually turned into something fun and interesting.

"Wait, someone like you had an unrequited love?" Lin Meiya looked at Luo Yanran's face in disbelief.

With a face like that, unrequited love? What guy couldn't she win over?

Luo Yanran smiled shyly, "I just had a crush on him for two years, that's all..."

With a smile, Luo Yanran told Lin Meiya how Xie Xiao suddenly appeared in her life.

Then everything was straightforward: liking her, pursuing her, confessing...

Everything was straightforward."

"Influenced by him, I've gradually gotten used to it as well. Being direct really does solve problems," Luo Yanran said with a smile, "Maybe it's uncomfortable at first. But Meiya, often times, the way guys think is different from us girls; they have a different perspective on things. It's like how we sometimes can't understand their thoughts."

Luo Yanran's voice was very gentle, "Since that's the case, let's not guess. Why not just ask directly? What do you think?"

Lin Meiya's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

A contemplative look flashed across her face.

Finally, she nodded, "I think I understand what you're saying."

She smiled at Luo Yanran, "Thank you, Luoluo."

"No need to thank me. You must see me as a friend to share this with me," Luo Yanran also said with a smile.

Lin Meiya, looking at the smile on her face, couldn't help remarking again, "I still have to say, someone like you playing at unrequited love?"

Luo Yanran blinked, "What's wrong with having a crush? I'm awesome. The person I had a crush on is now the father of my child."

Having said all that, she still wore a look of smug satisfaction.

Watching Luo Yanran like this, Lin Meiya felt like she could understand why Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran's relationship was always so good.

Who wouldn't like such a cute Luo Yanran?

It's not rare to be beautiful, but she's both beautiful and cute.

How could anyone not like her?

That afternoon, Luo Yanran took an hour off to pick up her son from school.

She already felt sorry for not having dropped him off in the morning.

As soon as Luo Yanran came out, she saw Xie Xiao's car already waiting at the gate.

She walked over with a smile, pulled open the passenger door, and sat down.

Xie Xiao was on a call, smiled at her, and reached out to hold her hand.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, the contract needs some changes..." Xie Xiao whispered into the phone.

At that moment, the person beside him leaned over and kissed his face.

Xie Xiao paused for a second in his speech, then continued to softly discuss the issues with the contract.

His gaze, however, fell on Luo Yanran with a warning look.

Luo Yanran smiled triumphantly and obediently began to fasten her seat belt.@@novelbin@@

Xie Xiao talked for another minute before hanging up the phone.

Then the first thing he did was to unbuckle his own seat belt and lean over to kiss Luo Yanran on the lips.

She let out a sound that carried a hint of laughter.

But she couldn't move, pinned down by him.

Finally, when Xie Xiao let her go, he gently wiped the moisture from the corner of her mouth, "That's for teasing me."

"I didn't!" Luo Yanran denied, her face still a bit red, her eyes rolling in a complete circle, grateful it wasn't quitting time and there weren't many people around.

"We're going to be late picking up Tuan Zi," Luo Yanran blinked and said.

Xie Xiao chuckled, "Feeling cowardly now?"

Nevertheless, he still buckled his seat belt and started the car, "We won't be late, there's not much traffic at this time."

Luo Yanran uttered an "oh" and then she and Xie Xiao began speaking at the same time, "Today I talked with Meiya..."

"Today I talked with Qi Yan..."

They both looked at each other.

And then they laughed together.

"What did you talk about?" Xie Xiao asked her with a smile.

"About relationship problems," Luo Yanran said, "She seemed really troubled, looking all wan and weary."

Xie Xiao nodded, "Qi Yan too, he was completely listless. So, what did you suggest?"

"I said to be direct," Luo Yanran replied, "That's what you taught me."

Xie Xiao really laughed this time, "Wife, isn't this why we say we have telepathy~"

Luo Yanran's eyes shone for a moment, "Is that what you told him too?"

Xie Xiao hummed in affirmation, "Haven't we always been like this?"

They rarely had even small arguments.

It proved to be effective.

Luo Yanran nodded, "Then it really is a case of great minds think alike."

"By the way, Meiya also said it's strange that someone like me would have a crush, and I told her, but the person I had a crush on ended up being the father of my child, right~" Luo Yanran's eyes sparkled, "I'm super impressive, aren't I?"
