Hmm, there's a rather cliché saying that is still sowhat appropriate, "Girls don't love unless guys are a bit bad," right?
Xie Xiao felt that being bad on occasion wasn't such a bad thing.
In the end, Xie Xiao even felt sorry for himself, his wife being so proactive and yet he was still worried about her not having eaten.
The main feeling was one of pity, because Luo Yanran had already suffered from a stomachache once before.
That ti Xie Xiao was also working overti, so Luo Yanran had gone to see the doctor and took a taxi ho by herself.
When Xie Xiao returned ho late at night, he saw that although she had taken her dicine, Luo Yanran lay on the sofa asleep, her complexion ashen.
At first, Xie Xiao thought she was just too tired, having waited up for him too long.
He felt both distressed and guilty. Then he thought about taking out the trash first, then changing his clothes, and finally carrying her to bed.
Luo Yanran must have been afraid he would find out she wasn't feeling well, so she had neatly tied up the trash bag after taking her dicine.
Xie Xiao would have just needed to take it out directly.
But as he happened to notice so scrap paper on the table, he intended to toss it out as well, and upon opening it, he saw the discarded sachet packaging.
Xie Xiao was stunned for a mont and for the first ti rummaged through the trash bag, indeed finding so stomach dicine.
Only then did he realize that her poor complexion wasn't due to exhaustion, but due to feeling unwell.
At that mont, Xie Xiao's guilt reached its peak.
His hands trembling, he threw away the trash, ca back to wash his hands and change clothes, and then carried her into the bedroom.
She woke up, smiling sweetly at him, "You're back~ I think I accidentally fell asleep."
"Yeah, rest early if you don't feel well," Xie Xiao's voice was very gentle, his eyes full of concern. Thinking of Luo Yanran going to the doctor alone with a stomachache made him feel deeply compassionate—
he knew she went by herself because her nature was to never bother anyone.
Still groggy from sleep, Luo Yanran didn't imdiately catch what was off about his words.
She just nodded her head softly saying, "Then I'm going to sleep, I'm really sleepy..."
And then she fell deeply asleep.
That night, Xie Xiao spent so ti smoking on the balcony, during what was the busiest period for him.
He could probably understand Luo Yanran's thoughts; she felt she was alright and didn't want to disturb him.
But Xie Xiao was still angry, mostly at himself though.
It must have been that his efforts in expressing himself hadn't been vigorous enough to make Luo Yanran realize, when compared, nothing was more important than her.
His hard work was all for her, too.
Nothing was more important than her.
Latter on, the two of them had a conversation about this, and after that, Luo Yanran's als were mostly ordered by Xie Xiao.
Unless she was out on fieldwork or away from the company, she would find ti to let Xie Xiao know.
And at other tis, no matter how busy Xie Xiao was, he would ensure her als were ordered on ti.
This also led the entire law firm to tease Luo Yanran for having a "high-quality boyfriend."
Now at ho, Xie Xiao naturally wouldn't let Luo Yanran "exercise" on an empty stomach.
Absolutely not.
The restaurant he had booked for today was one Luo Yanran particularly liked, one that normally didn't do takeouts.
Let alone on a holiday.
Hmm, Xie Xiao had even used so of Luo Ming's influence to make the reservation.
In any case, the Luo Yanran who had just been flirtatious was now eating delightfully, her eyes and eyebrows filled with satisfaction.
While eating, she praised Xie Xiao, but essentially, Luo Yanran was a very low-key person who always had strict standards for herself.
However, it was only when she was with Xie Xiao that she would boast endlessly, as Liu Ou once joked that even if Xie Xiao walked just a few steps faster, Luo Yanran could praise him all day.
That was pretty much the situation.
Hearing her endlessly praising him for free made Xie Xiao sowhat amused, "Do you really think your boyfriend is that great?"
"Ah, it's not just who thinks so, everyone thinks so," Luo Yanran said as she picked up a piece of at for him, "You eat too, don't just serve food~"
She laughed joyfully, "So colleagues in our law firm haven't t you, but they all know about you and say you're great. Those who have t you praise you even more..."
Luo Yanran thought about the exaggerated praises from her colleagues at the law firm; to be honest, sotis she even found the flattery a bit too much and embarrassing.
Xie Xiao looked at the smile on her face and hesitated before asking, "Do you have a holiday for New Year's Day?"
"Yes, we do," Luo Yanran said. "I rember we have it off. I think that's when our internship scores will be out too."
Speaking of which, she was still a bit worried; she really liked the current law firm and enjoyed her colleagues there.
It was a top-notch law firm, and she truly wanted to stay.
However, she knew their fellow interns were all very capable, so she did not have full confidence.
Thinking about it, she sighed, "I'm a bit worried. I guess I'll be quite sad if I can't stay."
Even though the experience of interning here could help her find a decent law firm, Luo Yanran still hoped to stay.
Xie Xiao looked at her and suddenly let out a sigh. Luo Yanran turned to him, "What's wrong? I haven't even sighed."
"I'm just thinking... I have sothing to say, but now I don't know if I should say it," Xie Xiao said making a show of being worried.
Luo Yanran laughed and lightly patted him, "You've already brought it up, what's there to pretend about?"
Xie Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He gently took her hand that had patted him and whispered, "But I feel like it's not quite the right ti to say it now. I was thinking... would you be willing to go with to register our marriage on New Year's Day?"
Luo Yanran was stunned for a second before she responded without a second thought, "Sure."
Xie Xiao had previously ntioned to Luo Ming that they would register their marriage before the end of the year.
Now, the ti was indeed approaching.
Xie Xiao blinked as she agreed so readily, "You agree just like that? Let myself be coaxed just like that?"
Luo Yanran looked at him and hesitated for a mont, "Then... should I hesitate a little more?"
Then they looked at each other and both laughed.
It seed like they really didn't need too many words to express their love or lack thereof.
At this mont, Luo Yanran could sense Xie Xiao's feelings, and Xie Xiao could tell that Luo Yanran was willing.
That was enough.
Everything else didn't matter much to them; undergoing the official process of marriage registration was only a procedure to reassure those around them.
But it was not a necessary step for them.
Luo Yanran had once said that a marriage certificate doesn't really guarantee anything.
After all, for her, Xie Xiao's love mattered more than anything else.
The marriage law can't prevent soone from falling out of love or stop those who are determined from approaching.
It mainly depends on whether the other person is willing to be faithful to her.
This kind of thinking, well, it's hard to judge whether it's good or bad, right or wrong.
But the marriage law can indeed deter so people who have a sense of morality, at least.
Luo Yanran had said before, "If it really ca to that, even if you left with nothing, it wouldn't make a difference to . If the light of the world was taken away, wealth couldn't fill that void."
Her eyes sparkling, she looked at Xie Xiao, "I don't know what kind of extre things I might do then."
