Such a simple truth, and she still needed to teach him.

"Actually, you don’t need to be so nervous. Whether they agree or not, I’m going to marry you."

He didn’t want her to feel so much pressure. No matter what, he was on her side.

"I know, but you are you, and your parents are your parents. No matter how they see me, I need to present the right attitude."

After all, they are his parents, and she didn’t want him to feel too conflicted.

It would be great if everyone could be happy, but if not, she would lower her stance a bit.

Life is always going to have some disappointments; it’s best to endure them.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer any grievance," Lan Shao said, holding her hand.

Fan Rou nodded.

Fan Rou went to the usual hair salon to get her hair done, followed by makeup and nails.

By the time she was done, it was already six o’clock.

When she rushed over, it was just the time for dinner.

"You’re here, sit down," Lan’s father said.

"Mom, Dad, this is my girlfriend, Fan Rou." Lan Shao intertwined his fingers with Fan Rou, and solemnly introduced her to his parents.

His attitude clearly showed that he had chosen Fan Rou; he had decided to be with her, and nobody could say anything to change that.

The two elders didn’t say much, just glanced at Fan Rou and said, "Since you’re here, have a seat. We can talk after eating."

"Uncle, Aunt, here are some health supplements I got for you, it’s just a small gesture," Fan Rou placed the gift on the coffee table.

Lan’s father nodded; it was unclear whether he was pleased or not.

The Lan Family was very strict with etiquette, and they adhered to the principle of not speaking while eating.

Fortunately, this was quite typical, so Fan Rou was not uncomfortable.

Despite being overlooked in the Fan Family for many years and not taught much, she had observed enough to learn about etiquette and more.

Seeing her elegant movements and good table manners, Lan’s father and mother exchanged a glance, showing slight satisfaction in their eyes.

After dinner, Fan Rou sat with Lan’s mother.

Lan Shao was called to the study by his father, leaving just the two of them in the living room.

Lan’s mother looked at the scar on her neck and asked, "Is your injury okay?"

"It’s fine, it’s healed; later I’ll just need to remove the scar," Fan Rou said obediently.

Lan’s mother nodded and asked again, "So what plans do you two have for the future?"

"We’ll talk after my health recovers, and then get engaged and married. As for after marriage, I’ll manage the household and he’ll handle things outside."

She couldn’t compare to Lan Shao in making money, so naturally, she’d handle more housework.

However, she still wanted to continue her part-time job, like painting.

The money from that could serve as her own savings, in case, one day, something unexpected happened, and she and Lan Shao ended up parting ways; she wanted to be confident.

"What about kids? Have you thought about that?"

Uh, that seemed a bit early; actually, with Lan Shao, they had only talked as far as getting married.

Considering the current situation, even marriage might have to wait until next year.

And as for kids, it’s not something that could just happen if she wanted it.

They’d also have to see if circumstances allowed it then.

"What kids?" While Fan Rou was considering how to respond, Lan Shao emerged from the study.

Just in time, he heard Lan’s mother’s question.

Fan Rou looked at him as if he were her savior.

"I was saying, if you two live together, and if by chance you have kids, what are your plans?"

Alone together, sparks could fly easily.

She didn’t believe Lan Shao had not been tempted at all.
