"Aunt, I understand. Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Shu Ran: ...
After finishing the meal, Shu Ran got up to clear the dishes without being stopped by Shu Mother, who took Qin Xian to the living room to chat.
While Shu Ran was washing the dishes in the kitchen, she could vaguely hear their conversation.
"Our Shu Ran can be quite difficult; she neither takes initiative nor faces things directly. Sometimes, she might find it boring."
"Not at all, she is great."
Hearing this while washing the dishes, Shu Ran paused for a moment, turning her head to glance at the people in the living room.
A person over six feet tall sat comfortably on the small sofa in the living room, chatting with Shu Mother in a relaxed and genuine manner, showing no signs of arrogance.
It was hard to believe that he was the cold and ruthless person rumored about.
As if sensing her gaze, Qin Xian turned his head to look in her direction.
Their eyes met, and Shu Ran immediately felt embarrassed and quickly averted her gaze, turning back to continue washing the dishes.
Qin Xian smiled.
Watching them, Shu Mother shook her head with a smile.
She brewed a pot of tea, and as the boiling water poured into the cup, a rich Tea Aroma filled the air.
Shu Mother poured a cup of tea for him. "Actually, I was quite surprised when Shu Ran admitted to me that she was with you. After all, given her personality, there are very few people she would accept."
Shu Mother suddenly looked at Qin Xian, her gaze clear and serious, completely different from the affectionate demeanor she had just shown. At this moment, she was stern and earnest.
"Unless that person forced her to accept it."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Qin Xian glanced at Shu Mother without showing any emotion, waiting calmly for her to continue.
"I thought you would explain." Seeing his lack of reaction, Shu Mother was taken aback.
"I won't," Qin Xian replied steadily. "I won't explain."
Because the truth is, as you said.
He did force her to accept, forcing her to willingly embrace it, compelling her to sink with him.
Shu Mother sighed. "I won't stop the two of you, but you must remember, never hurt..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Xian interrupted directly. "I won't."
He wouldn't; he wouldn't hurt her.
There was only one her in this world, and he had finally found her. How could he bear to hurt her?
He couldn't bear it.
Shu Mother looked into his earnest eyes and recalled many things in her mind.
From the moment she first saw Qin Xian, she felt he was not an ordinary person. A person's attire can deceive, but the aura he exuded from within and the elegance in his every gesture were unmistakable.
Moreover, the way he looked at Shu Ran did not resemble that of someone who had just met her.
That night, she pressed Fangfang for information about who Qin Xian really was.
Fangfang seemed to be tight-lipped and refused to reveal anything. Eventually, after being questioned persistently, she reluctantly shared a little information.
Qin Xian was someone of extraordinary background.
He was not someone they could afford to provoke.
For a moment, Shu Mother was unsure whether to feel happy or sad.
She conducted various investigations and finally learned about his identity. She couldn't help but sigh, realizing it was like stepping out of a wolf's den only to enter a tiger's lair.
It wasn't until she noticed the subtle changes in Shu Ran that she began to decide whether she should overlook their differences in status and allow them to continue seeing each other.
After all, she no longer had time to waste.
However, Qin Xian did not disappoint her; he made her accept the situation, albeit through extreme means.
This was also the reason she chose Qin Xian over Xu Yan Ying.
When Shu Ran felt sad, she would bury her worries deep inside. If it were Xu Yan Ying, he would be by her side, waiting for her.
But over time, her introverted nature would worsen, and her burdens would grow heavier.
Marriage is ultimately a matter between two people. Her personality will eventually wear down his patience and create a rift between them.
But if it were Qin Xian, he wouldn't give her the chance to hide her feelings. He would want her to express them, to force her to speak out.
He would teach her to release her emotions and help her sort through them.
Instead of letting her accumulate her worries like a balloon, growing larger and larger until... it bursts.
Yet she also fears misjudging him, worried that Qin Xian might let her down, that he might only be playing with Shu Ran's feelings.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Tonight's test, Qin Xian has passed.
And she can finally feel at ease.
Shu Ran has finally finished washing the dishes. She handed a paper towel to wipe her hands and turned around to see Shu Mother speaking seriously with Qin Xian.
She was surprised, thinking something had happened. She casually tossed the paper towel into the trash and walked toward the living room.
However, when she stepped out of the kitchen, she found the two of them chatting happily. Shu Ran frowned in suspicion: Did she just imagine things?
Seeing her approach, Shu Mother smiled and stood up to ask, "All cleaned up?"
Shu Ran nodded, "Mm."
"It's still early. It doesn't make sense to keep you two young folks here chatting with me, especially since it's interrupting my drama."
"So you can go wherever you want, just remember to come back early."
"Go on, go on." Under the urging of Shu Mother, Shu Ran stepped out of the house aimlessly with Qin Xian.
Shu Ran stood dumbfounded at the stairway, unsure of where to go.
Qin Xian suddenly took her hand, "Come on, I'll take you to see something."
"See what?"
Qin Xian didn't answer, just held her hand and walked down the stairs, looking quite cheerful.
Shu Ran followed him in confusion until they reached the entrance of the community, where Qin Xian finally stopped.
Shu Ran was puzzled; weren't they supposed to be seeing something? Why were they just standing here?
"Shu Ran, do you think that car is nice?"
What? Shu Ran looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a brand new white Audi TT parked by the roadside.
The car had smooth curves and tight lines, looking quite exquisite and cute.
After a glance, Shu Ran blurted out, "It's nice."
"Do you like it?"
Without thinking much, Shu Ran replied, "Yeah, I like it."
"Then I'll give it to you, okay?"
"What?!"
Qin Xian ignored her astonished expression, pulling her to the front of the car and handing her the keys. "This car is for you. I don't want to see my woman crammed in the crowded subway every day for work."
His tone was domineering, but Shu Ran didn't take it to heart at all. She firmly refused, "Qin Xian, I don't want it."
"Alright." Qin Xian agreed just like that, leaving Shu Ran a bit stunned.
When did Qin Xian become so easy to talk to? She thought he would force her to accept it.
"Then I'll come pick you up for work from now on."
Shu Ran: I knew it...
"I..."
"You're not allowed to refuse. I'll be angry." His tone was firm, giving no chance for resistance.
