Chapter 1707: Chapter 2130: Ordinary Friends
“Alright, everyone say a little less and speak properly,” said Father Fan discontentedly.
Fan Rou imdiately lowered her head and replied obediently, “Yes.”
“Little sister, I heard you’ve recently found a boyfriend, is that true? Bring him ho for us to see,” Fan Li suddenly said.
“Second sister, who told you that? Would you really believe the nonsense from outside?” Fan Rou stuffed a piece of at into her mouth.
This is the bad thing about the Fan Family, discussing things at the dining table, commonly known as table culture.
The Fan Family really brought this culture to its full extent.
“Is it nonsense? Then why did I see you and him acting like a couple?” Fan Li said seriously, as if it were true.
“I haven’t been able to walk properly recently and rarely go out. When did you see us together, second sister? Even if soone did help , it was just out of kindness. Or do you think just because soone helps , he’s automatically my boyfriend?”
“Of course, just helping once wouldn’t, but if it’s the sa person helping you every ti, then that’s worth investigating.”
“Doesn’t second sister have a few male friends? If not, surely coworkers? Or do you think whenever a man and a woman walk together, they must be in a relationship?”
Fan Li was at a loss for words, knowing all along that Fan Rou had a sharp tongue, unfazed by reasoning.
Whether justified or not.
Fan Rou curled her red lips into a mocking smile.
Overestimating oneself.
“So what’s the deal with you and that guy?” Father Fan, who had remained silent, finally spoke.
“There’s nothing going on. He’s the son of a professor from my school, we know each other well and just get along,” Fan Rou emphasized the word ‘get along’ heavily, conveying that she and Lan Shao were really just ordinary acquaintances.
“In that case, you should go on blind dates in the coming days. I’ll set up with so pretty good people for you.” Father Fan seed convinced by Fan Rou’s words and didn’t press further.
‘Pretty good people’ probably ans ‘pretty good marriage prospects,’ doesn’t it?
Fan Rou knew it clearly but didn’t reveal it: “Dad, I do want to find a good man to marry, but given my current mobility issues, walking is hard enough. How about waiting a while before arranging blind dates?”
Father Fan thought it made sense and said, “Then just rest at ho during this period; take care of yourself and don’t go out.”
Fan Rou was reluctant, but after what Fan i and Fan Li said, opposing further would only arouse suspicion from Father Fan.
“Oh, okay,” Fan Rou answered compliantly.
Father Fan seed satisfied with her response, nodded, and said no more.
Back in her room, Fan Rou tended to the flowers sent by Ye Ranran, and her phone on the bed rang.
It was Lan Shao calling. She hesitated for a mont but answered.
“Xiao Rou, I’ve cooked dinner. When will you be back?” Lan Shao asked tenderly over the phone.
Fan Rou felt sowhat moved, as no one had ever spoken to her so gently.
“You go ahead and eat. Clean up after and head back. I’ll be staying at the Fan Family villa for the next few days, not coming back.” Fan Rou’s fingers brushed over the petals.
Lan Shao sensed her underlying discontent beneath her calm tone and asked, “Is it that you can’t co back?”
“Yeah, my dear dad wants to recuperate at ho.” Who wants to stay in this cage? If only her wings were fully developed, she’d have flown away long ago.
“He didn’t say anything to you, did he?” Rembering the last ti with Fan i and Fan Li, Lan Shao feared Fan Rou would be at a disadvantage.
