Chapter 95 - 90: They Should All Have New Lives

Chapter 95: Chapter 90: They Should All Have New Lives

The two of them talked for a long time before finally hanging up. Qiu Yuru looked at her son, her face full of satisfaction. "Now *that’s* what a man should do."

When her parents agreed to let you marry their daughter, it was a sign of their immense trust.

Even though you’re divorced now, you both made that decision yourselves.

It had nothing to do with her parents. Besides, if Xiao Ran hadn’t agreed, Yan Li couldn’t have gone through with the divorce on her own.

Since it was mutual, there was nothing to complain about.

For them to still try and keep you in their lives and treat you so well... Qiu Yuru felt her son had handled things remarkably well.

His character alone was something she could be proud of.

The girl let out a huge sigh of relief in her heart.

’Looks like Mom has finally accepted the fact that my sister and her husband are divorced. This way, she won’t give me a hard time about it anymore.’

’Does that mean I can openly pursue Brother Xiao Ran now?’

The very thought made her feel wonderfully free.

"Auntie, I’ll toast you with tea instead of wine. Here’s to you growing more and more beautiful!"

Qiu Yuru beamed at the girl before her. "Just listen to this sweet talker. Well, Auntie also wishes that you’ll find a man worthy of spending the rest of your life with!"

...

After the meal, the three of them walked out and headed toward Qiu Yuru’s white Audi.

You always feel most comfortable right after a big meal, but it’s also when you get the sleepiest. Having not napped much at noon, Qiu Yuru felt sluggish and wanted to lie down for a while.

She pulled open the back door and climbed in without a second thought. "Nope, I can’t. I’m getting old. I need to doze off for a bit. Yan Xici, you sit in the front."

With that, she lay right down, stretching out across the seat.

Little did she know, her casual action sent a jolt of excitement through the young woman’s heart.

’Now I can sit next to Brother Xiao Ran!’

Sitting with Brother Xiao Ran was her favorite thing in the world.

Xiao Ran shook his head and gave Yan Xici a resigned look. "Come on, get in."

He then walked over to the driver’s side, opened the door, and slid into the seat.

She felt like she could never get tired of looking at him. Every time she did, the slight flutter in her chest was a testament to her feelings for Xiao Ran.

As Xiao Ran drove toward Nanjing Road, he asked, "By the way, is there anything you want to buy?"

It wasn’t often they got to go out shopping, and he thought she should take the opportunity to buy herself a new dress or something.

Although Taobao was convenient, the quality of items from a proper department store was definitely better.

After all, you could see and feel the quality of the fabric in person.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, casting a shadow that accentuated his nose. It was already well-defined, but now it looked even more chiseled.

The sight made it impossible for the young woman to look away.

Even her traitorous heart began to beat a little faster.

"I... I want to buy you some clothes. Last time, I... I got that one shirt dirty..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran paused. He instinctively turned to look at her, and his eyes met her gentle, beautiful ones.

For some reason, Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed.

"I told you, it was just a shirt."

’To be honest, if she hadn’t brought it up, he would’ve completely forgotten about it. Here they were, finally out shopping, and the first thing she thought of was buying clothes for him.’

’What a silly girl, always thinking of others and not herself.’

Xiao Ran pursed his lips. "Right, your school should be holding its job fair next week. Since I just got the house rented out today, the timing is perfect. I’ll buy a new outfit for you and an outfit for Mom later."

After all, she was graduating soon. The clothes she wore now looked great on her, but they were still a little childish.
