@WhatGrowsInTheGardenAren’tSowThere: I remember the chairman of the Hong Ye Group was Luan Ze. Five years ago, there was a Luan Ze in the top ten of the Forbes ranking. At that time, Luan Ze's personal assets were worth 50 billion!



@GreenPlumCandy: Damn! When I watched 【Returning to A Country Life】, I had a feeling that Luan Qing Xiao was extraordinary, could it be… …



@WeiWei: Can upstairs make it clear, could it be what?



@Elephant: I’ll say it! I’m guessing Luan Qing Xiao is Luan Ze's daughter! Goddess Ling Ya gave birth to her daughter more than 20 years ago, plus both Luan Qing Xiao's age and surname match up! Everyone, please grasp the point here; Luan Ze and Ling Ya only have one daughter. Therefore, Hong Ye Group will all belong to that little princess in the future!



@Smirk: Upstairs’ news is untrue, please don't believe it



@ Elephant: Based on what grounds are you saying my news isn’t true!



@Smirk: Ha, as far as I know, Hong Ye Group has been managed by Little Princess since more than two years ago. Luan Ze has long since retreated behind the line



@SmallKittenFelix: … … Smirk is right. My family is cooperating with Hong Ye Group and I just asked my dad, Little Princess is currently in charge of Hong Ye Group. Moreover, the Little Princess’ name is Luan Qing Xiao, not a letter and not a letter more. I can’t handle this anymore, I need time to absorb all this! [A Salted Fish lying down]



@TheClassRepIsHere: Let me sum it up; it is known that Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er are friends, Luan Ze and Ling Ya are husband and wife, while Ling Ya and Nie Zhen'er’s social circles don’t overlap. Suppose that Ling Ya sent birthday wishes to Nie Zhen'er because her daughter and Nie Zhen'er are friends— — then Luan Qing Xiao must be the daughter of Goddess Ling Ya.



! ! !



The melon-eating crowd on Weibo were stuffed with gossip on Nie Zhen'er’s birthday.



Luan Qing Xiao didn't see the storm on Weibo because she was coming out to Ling Ya at Luan's old manor.



"Mom, I like Zhen'er." Luan Qing Xiao said.



"Zhen’er is your friend, I like her too." At first, Ling Ya didn't understand Luan Qing Xiao's meaning.



"I mean I want to marry Zhen'er."



Ling Ya's phone fell to the ground as she looked at Luan Qing Xiao in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Zhen’er is a girl!"



Luan Qing Xiao gave a bitter smile, "Mom, you know that I haven't really had any friends since I was little. At first, when you forced me and Nie Zhen'er to become friends, I was truly against the idea. However, in the process of getting to know her, I realized that Zhen'er is a really good girl. Then, I started looking forward to the dates with her. Now I don’t even want to separate from her."



Luan Qing Xiao turned toward Ling Ya expectantly, "Mom, didn't you think Zhen’er was good and that’s why you pushed me to be friends with her?"



"... …" It seems Qing Xiao was only bent by her request.



"I ask you guys to be friends, not to become a couple… …" Ling Ya said with a guilty conscience.



"Moreover although you like Zhen'er, Zhen'er won’t necessarily like you ah. Unrequited love never ends well."



Luan Qing Xiao smiled slightly, "Yesterday, I confessed to Zhen'er and she has agreed to my marriage proposal."



"Your daughter is so charming, how could she not like me?"



Ling Ya couldn't persuade Luan Qing Xiao, so she placed her hope on Luan Ze.



But Luan Ze actually agreed! He agreed!



Ling Ya widened her eyes, "Xiao Xiao and Zhen'er are both girls!"



"Children need to live their own lives. As long as Qing Xiao is happy, it doesn’t matter if it’s a girl. You still have a small one in your belly, watch your anger."



Ling Ya touched the slightly raised area of her abdomen and was supported by Luan Ze to sit down with a sad face.



"I'm still worried that Qing Xiao won’t have children. I know you say that you will have this little one as the heir, but how can a siblings' and mother-children's relationship be the same? What if the one in my stomach doesn’t like Qing Xiao? "Ling Ya was worried.



"You just think too much. Our daughter is so outstanding that the little one in your belly definitely can’t admire her enough. It's impossible not to like Qing Xiao. Just rest assured."



Last month, Ling Ya found out that she was pregnant. Initially Luan Ze didn't want it because he was afraid of the danger it would be with Ling Ya's high age, but the doctor said the fetus was too far along, making her suitable for abortion.



When Luan Ze and Ling Ya agreed to her relationship with Nie Zhen'er, Luan Qing Xiao bought Nie Zhen'er home one day to officially meet her parents.



Nie Zhen'er is really a girl who is beloved by parents. After meeting Nie Zhen'er once, Ling Ya chatted with Nie Zhen'er every day, making it so Nie Zhen’er didn’t have time to reply to Luan Qing Xiao’s messages.



In May, Luan Qing Xiao's Weibo certification changed to "CEO of Hong Ye Group", and a marriage proposal video was pinned on top.



In it, Luan Qing Xiao held a ring in the water to propose to Nie Zhen'er. The clear water flowed over the two of them and the two only had each other in their eyes.



@LuanQingXiao: @NieZhen’er, my love, I will only love you for the rest of my life



This was such breaking news as the two protagonists, one is the daughter of a tycoon while the other is an international film queen, crashing Weibo for five hours.



In June, Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er held a wedding on their own small island. The wedding only invited close family members and friends, receiving their full and sincere blessings.



After the wedding, the two took a helicopter to another scenic island for their honeymoon.



In the evening, they sat on a huge ledge by the sea to watch the sunset.



As the red sunset reflected on the sea, Luan Qing Xiao gently tidied Nie Zhen'er's hair blown messy by the sea breeze while Nie Zhen'er looked back at her and smiled.



Luan Qing Xiao's eyes reflected the sunset and her, and Nie Zhen'er's eyes reflected Luan Qing Xiao and herself.



"Say if there is an afterlife... … what will happen to the two of us?" Nie Zhen'er blinked and asked softly.



Luan Qing Xiao pulled Nie Zhen'er closer by the back of her neck. The two leaned closer and she pecked her pink lips, smiling, "If there is an afterlife, I will still fall in love with you, and you will definitely fall in love with me."



Nie Zhen'er reached out and rested her hands on Luan Qing Xiao's shoulders, her almond eyes wafting with affection, "If there is an afterlife, what should I do if I forget about you?"



"If there is an afterlife, I’ll remember you." Luan Qing Xiao vowed.
