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

Time really flew by, especially when they had goals to aim for.

Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran were now juniors, and next semester, they would both start their internships.

Thanks to her excellent grades, Luo Yanran had already received several invitations from prestigious law firms.

As for Xie Xiao, there was no need for him to worry, as the live streaming company he and Qi Yan ran was now a leading enterprise in this emerging industry.

So, Xie Xiao was very busy.

When Luo Yanran returned to their apartment after class, she also brought back some groceries on her way.

Over the past two years, both of their cooking skills had improved significantly.

Otherwise, Luo Ming was really considering hiring a housekeeper for them.

Older generations always believe that takeout and eating out are unclean.

Luo Ming already knew they were living together.

After all, both families had already dined together, and Xie Xiao and the others didn't plan on hiding it for long.

At the beginning, Luo Ming was certainly unhappy, but over the years, he'd grown more and more pleased with Xie Xiao.

Mainly because his wife and daughter both liked him, so there was no need for him to be the bad guy, right?

So, he simply accepted it.

He even thought about helping the couple change to a new apartment.

But they both refused.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They just liked this small, private space.

Xie Xiao was originally doing something by the window.

When he heard the door open, he knew it was his wife coming home.

So he stood up from the windowsill, and just as he was walking over, he saw Luo Yanran carrying in a bunch of vegetables.

He walked over, took the groceries in one hand, and wrapped his other arm around her waist, kissing her on the lips, "Didn't we say we would go shopping together?"

Luo Yanran kissed him back, "Forget it, haven't you guys been very busy lately? I just bought some on the way."

Recently, one of the streamers that Xie Xiao and his partner had signed crumbled, getting involved with a fan.

Mainly because the breakup was messy, and the girl came out with all sorts of negative stories.

Xie Xiao and Qi Yan were nearly pulling their hair out over it.

But luckily, Qi Yan's father's professional PR company was handling it.

Actually, the incident wasn't that big, but wasn't it the first problem since their company had been established?

So he and Qi Yan were still somewhat inexperienced with these matters.

But now, it was mostly handled.

Xie Xiao helped Luo Yanran with her shoes before heading inside, "It's just about settled, I'll cook in a bit."

Luo Yanran was a bit surprised, "That was fast, huh? Today I want to eat prawns, deep-fried, I bought some~"

"Okay, little glutton!" Xie Xiao said with a laugh, then went to the kitchen to put down the groceries, while Luo Yanran went to change.

Over the years, they had both become very familiar with each other's habits.

After Luo Yanran came out, she said, "I start my internship next month. I can't go home for summer vacation this year."

Xie Xiao looked at her, "Have you made your choice?"

"I've made my decision, I talked to my teacher today, and he gave me a lot of advice," Luo Yanran named a law firm, "I had my heart set on this one in the first place."

Xie Xiao nodded, "I told you before that you would choose this one, didn't I?"

Luo Yanran wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and spoke softly, "Yes, yes, yes, I know~ You really understand me."

Xie Xiao smiled too, "So you're not going back for the summer vacation, right?"

"Mmhmm, no other choice, I have to start my internship," responded Luo Yanran, sounding a bit helpless, "after all, I probably won't have any more summer or winter vacations in the future."

Corporate life doesn't offer that many holidays.

Luo Yanran's tone amused Xie Xiao, and he chuckled, "I need to go back over the summer vacation for grandma's birthday. One of us should go, right?"

This grandma referred to Lin Yu's grandmother.

Ever since she repaid her debts three months ago, she'd been forbidden from working so hard every day.

No more preparing breakfasts, and she only set up her snack stall for two or three hours every night.

Although the old lady was reluctant, she felt she had nothing to do at home anyway.

But since the youngsters were so insistent, she simply stopped pushing the issue.

She couldn't possibly stir up anger in the youngsters over such matters, could she?

Luo Yanran spoke with an apologetic tone, "I want to go back too, I was originally planning to leave later, but the registration time is fixed..."

The law firm is well-known, and they wouldn't break their rules for just one person, right?

Xie Xiao smiled, leaned in, and nuzzled her nose, creating an intimate atmosphere, "It's okay, I'm representing both of us, aren't I?"

Luo Yanran also smiled, reached out, and hugged his neck, "Then how about we go shopping tonight? I want to buy a gift for Grandma."

"Sure," Xie Xiao agreed with a smile.

Luo Yanran was happy too.

She obediently waited for Xie Xiao to cook.

Xie Xiao was now in an internship, so he rarely returned to school.

While sitting on the sofa, Luo Yanran checked the distance between the law firm where she would work and the companies of Xie Xiao and Qi Yan.

It wasn't too far, in fact.

Xie Xiao had been living nearby because she was still taking lessons.

Now that Luo Yanran was going on an internship, it would clearly be better to move to a neighborhood more convenient for work.

However, they planned to rent an apartment first.

Otherwise, Luo Ming and the others would find out and surely start talking about buying an apartment.

Xie Xiao did feel real pressure, mainly because her future father-in-law was so well-off.

It really did weigh heavily on him.

In this regard, Qi Yan and Lin Yu expressed some envy.

As for Lin Yu and Liu Ou, they too had been together all these years.

Liu Da's transfer back didn't really change anything.

Both sides maintained a strange equilibrium.

Liu Ou never mentioned her family in front of Lin Yu's circle.

Lin Yu was studying medicine and still had a few years until graduation.

However, to Xie Xiao's surprise, Lin Yu, with his explosive temper, was actually able to calm down and excel in his medical studies, often working on projects with his seniors and teachers.

He was still running his social media account.

Just not as actively as before.

But he was one of the early birds in that field and now his followers had already grown to over ten million.

All were genuine fans, with a strong loyalty.

He had become one of the top influencers in the company.

Qi Yan would joke every day that he deeply regretted signing such a loss-making contract with Lin Yu back then.

Although Lin Yu later took the initiative to sign a new one, splitting the profits 30 to 70 with the company.

Lin Yu now said, having paid off his debts, he was saving money to buy an apartment.

After graduation, he planned to take Grandma on a trip around the world.

Xie Xiao didn't really want to dampen the future Dr. Lin's spirits, but he guessed that right after graduation, he'd be on an endless round of internships.

Once working, sometimes he wouldn't even have time to eat, just like their Dr. Yang. Touring the world would be out of the question.

But he feared discouraging Dr. Lin's enthusiasm for his studies, so he kept his thoughts to himself.

After dinner and a shower, Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran went out together.

The mall they were heading to was quite far; the trip would take half an hour by car.

Luo Yanran sent Xie Xiao the details of a few nice properties she had just found, "These neighborhoods are quite close to my law firm and your company."

Xie Xiao glanced at them briefly; they were all properties he'd looked at before.

He asked, "Do we want to rent a bigger place this time, or should we keep it the same size as now?"
