An Ruyou looked at Xiao Ling in a daze, feeling that the words just now were indeed a little strange, she quickly tried to resolve the situation, "What has Mr. Xiao been busy with recently?"

Xiao Ling quickly replied, "The company's crappy business, on the surface it looks like it's just some trivial things, but it's actually a lot of trouble!" Xiao Ling picked up the coffee jar and took a sip.

An Ruyou suddenly thought of something and smiled innocently at Xiao Ling, "Can I borrow the coffee for me to use?"

Xiao Ling was a little doubtful, but he still pushed the can towards An Ruyou.

Under Xiao Ling's gaze, An Ruyou picked up the coffee jar and poured some into her ice cream, intentionally not looking at the frozen Xiao Ling, and said to herself, "Now I can eat the two flavors of ice cream."

"Who taught you this?"

An Ruyou took a beautiful bite of ice cream, "Is there anyone beside Mr. Xiao who knows of this method?"

Xiao Ling hurriedly shook his head, "No, no.

An Ruyou deliberately used a regretful tone and said, "I had thought that there was actually someone who had the same thoughts as me in this world. Mr. Xiao, have you heard of this before? Everyone in this world has a person who is very similar to them, so they are also called the 'another me in the world'.

Xiao Ling looked at the ice cream in An Ruyou's hands, lost in thought, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The other me in the world?"

"Yes," An Ruyou leaned over mysteriously, "In this world, there are too many facts that cannot be explained by science. It's like if someone dies, then the science says that there are no signs of life, if someone dies, and the fire burns to ashes, then there's nothing left. But if you say that there's a dream or a retribution, it just proves that the person who left did not disappear, but came back in another form."

It was a sunny day in June outside the window, but Xiao Ling was trembling a little. "The air conditioner is operating too fast, I'll call the waiter to adjust the temperature."

An Ruyou watched as Xiao Ling left and could not help but sneer. He picked up the ice cream and took a big bite.

just now was doing it on purpose, Xiao Ling liked to drink coffee, but Qiao Ruoyou liked ice cream even more, after eating the taste of the cream, she wanted to eat something else, so she would always pour some from him.

Although Xiao Ling still pretended that nothing had happened on the surface, he must be feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.

Sure enough, Xiao Ling returned and said, "Miss Ann, it's almost time for me to leave. I won't be accompanying you."

An Ruyou nodded, "Thank you for the coffee."

Xiao Ling quickly left the room.

An Ruyou stopped looking at him, lowered her head and threw the ice cream into the trash can beside her feet, "Maybe there will be someone unable to sleep soundly tonight."

When Xiao Ling returned to the uniform shop, he was in a rage, "What kind of crappy shop is this, none of them make me look good in any of them. I think all of you are just hiding something nice, not taking it out to give it to me!"

Xiao Ling looked at the clothes that Qiao Ruoan had tried on the floor, and pulled Qiao Ruoan up, "An An, if you don't like it, we'll change it to another one, don't get angry with them, you are so expensive now!"

Qiao Ruoan's expression softened, "I am just not satisfied, these people, all of them are too sloppy, moreover, if we go to another house now, we won't be hurrying there!"

Xiao Ling selected a skirt with a high waist line from the pile of clothes, "I think this one is pretty good, my father likes girls to wear light pink."

Qiao Ruoan pouted, "Alright, that's it."

After Qiao Ruoan put on his clothes and picked up his makeup, he could only step hard on the accelerator to arrive there according to the time.

"An An, hurry up and leave. It won't be good if we enter again when the competition starts."

Qiao Ruoan tidied up his hair, "Didn't you say earlier that I am now gold! Whenever I go, it's always your Xiao Family's treasure. "

Xiao Ling helplessly pulled on Qiao Ruoan's arm, "Yes, yes, but it has to be a little earlier."

Qiao Ruoan walked a few steps too quickly.

heaved a sigh of relief as he brought Qiao Ruoan and the others to Xiao Zhentian's side, "Father, An An and I are stuck in a traffic jam, we were a little late, so we'll go and greet the collaboration."

Xiao Zhentian glanced at Qiao Ruoan and snappily said, "Your big brother and Miss Huang have already represented the Shaw's and went to greet the other merchants."

Xiao Ling didn't know what to say.

Qiao Ruoan said to Xiao Zhentian without batting an eyelid, "Father, your grandson is extremely healthy. The doctor said that in a month or so, I will be able to feel the changes in him."

Xiao Zhentian frowned, "That is your problem."

Then he left.

Qiao Ruoan was confused, and was about to ask Xiao Ling.

"This must be Miss Qiao Ruoan!"

Qiao Ruoan was unhappy and turned his head, "Who is it!"

Looking at Qiao Ruoan, he was stunned, and then immediately became angry: "Who are you? Why are you wearing the same gown as me? "

In addition, she did not have much of a hairstyle, so she just simply pulled up a flower bud. Although it was simple, it was very generous and outstanding, and she reached out her hand to Qiao Ruoan, "Father mentioned you to me before. I am Xiao Yi's girlfriend, my name is Huang Susu."

Qiao Ruoan shook her hand unwillingly, "Why do you call me father, are you pregnant too?" As he said that, Qiao Ruoan became a little proud, "Father said before, only women who are pregnant with the descendants of the Xiao Family can enter his Xiao Family."

Huang Susu smiled, "What era is it now? The older people's thoughts are lagging behind, as juniors, we have to advise them. Now, Father has changed his mind and is starting to respect the idea of equality between men and women."

"What?" Qiao Ruoan couldn't believe what she had heard.

Xiao Yi saw that Huang Susu was chatting with Qiao Ruoan, and also came closer, "Miss Jo, I just saw uncle, so we chatted for a bit. Why is it that Father still doesn't agree to your marriage?"

Qiao Ruoan said, "It should be because Xiao Ling has not mentioned it yet, I will ask father once the merchant guild ends."

Xiao Yi said, "Xiao Ling said this to father, but father did not say anything at that time, probably because he was rather busy at the time, and I would help you guys ask for father's opinion when you are free."

"Thank you."

Xiao Yi looked at Qiao Ruoan's slightly bulging stomach, "It's almost been four months, right?"

Qiao Ruoan nodded.

"If we don't get married now, we will have to get married with a big belly. Xiao Ling, seriously, if father doesn't agree, I will ask more!"

The moment Xiao Yi and Huang Susu left, Qiao Ruoan began to search the entire stadium for Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling was chatting with someone.

Qiao Ruoan grabbed Xiao Ling's arm, "Come out with me for a bit."

Seeing that it was too much for him, Xiao Ling could only smile apologetically to the other party, "I'm sorry for offending you, I will leave first."

Walking to a place with no one around, Qiao Ruoan said angrily, "What happened to you? Did you do a terrible job? Xiao Yi told me just now, you asked your father, why didn't you tell me? "

Xiao Ling rubbed his nose while avoiding eye contact, "Who said that? I haven't found the right time yet, when the time comes, I will ask immediately."

Qiao Ruoan did not let him off, "Do you still want to lie about what Xiao Yi said?"

"He's talking nonsense."

"That's good. I think today's occasion is quite good. How about we go ask after the Chamber of Commerce is finished, how about it!"

Xiao Ling was a little agitated, "Everyone's here today, why must we ask today?"

"It's because everyone is here today and my father is too. Isn't it better to settle this matter?"

Xiao Ling said, "An An, we are already engaged, there is no difference between getting engaged and getting married."

"No, there is only a difference." Qiao Ruoan ran to the side to vent his anger.

Seeing Xiao Yi looking over, Xiao Ling immediately thought that Xiao Yi must have said a lot of useless stuff to Qiao Ruoan, so he could only walk over and hug Qiao Ruoan, and braced himself and said, "Alright, after the Chamber of Commerce is finished, let's go and ask Father, alright, An An, don't be angry."

Huang Susu smiled and said to Xiao Yi, "There is really someone that foolish. Father's words were just an old idea, and it made me give up on them as soon as I tried to persuade them. It can be seen how open-minded our father is, to think that they would be so pedantic, and actually allow their old ideas to erode."

Xiao Yi said, "My brother is just a petty person, he went by the rules and found a wife. He is also an empty-headed trash, and cannot be compared with the Su Su of our Scholar Sect, as expected, a nouveau riche is the most terrifying."

They laughed and picked up their glasses and clinked them happily.

In Qiao Qiming's eyes, all of this scene was one of regret and anger. His nature was gentle, and he was not willing to cling onto the rich and powerful, especially someone like Xiao Zhentian who was an arrogant and stubborn person. But now, his own daughter was under his control, and not only was she not pregnant, she had not even set a date for the marriage, it would truly be a joke if word of it got out.

On one side was a spectator, and on the other was the cold faced Xiao Zhentian. Qiao Qiming was in a dilemma.

In truth, Qiao Qiming did not agree with her daughter Qiao Ruoan becoming friends with him. What happened in the past, no matter how confused he was, he would definitely know that Xiao Ling was clearly closer to Qiao Ruoyou, and ever since Qiao Ruoyou passed away, she had become Qiao Ruoan's boyfriend. In private, he had also asked his wife about Xiao Ling's relationship with the two sisters, but she only said, "Why do we care about the children's matters?" Qiao Qiming felt that something was amiss, but he had no way of refuting it. In this family, he might be the one who had nothing to say. They could only allow their wives and Qiao Ruoan to cause trouble.

It was disturbing to think that she had just gone to see her adopted daughter in the morning. Her bones were not yet cold, and yet, at home, she was actively preparing for a joyous event.

Qiao Ruoan's current month was getting bigger and bigger, and if he did not hurry up with this matter, it would be even harder to deal with. If he really left out the truth that he was unmarried and raised in the first place, then even if Xiao Family did not say anything, Qiao Family would still be criticized by the outside world for lacking the education to their children.

"Mister Qiao."

Qiao Qiming thought that it was really good to meet you, Director Xiao.

"You didn't come here today just to join the Chamber of Commerce, right?" Xiao Zhentian said arrogantly.

"Director Xiao guessed right. There is also the marriage of my daughter."

Xiao Zhentian said, "I'm really not ashamed, I only came to my house to ask for an explanation when I was pregnant."

Qiao Qiming was infuriated, "Didn't you say that you had to get pregnant for An An to enter the Xiao Family? Why did you change your words now? "

Xiao Zhentian looked at Qiao Ruoan in disdain, "I did say that before, but now that I have listened to Susu's suggestion, I know that my thinking was wrong. It was done before the marriage, and it was not pure at all."
