Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

The laughter stopped, and the two returned to their serious expressions. Ran Mo said, "Sister Hu, since you two have finally come this far, don't give up. Seize every opportunity, and you will have the possibility of achieving a positive result."

Hu Ling pondered for a while and said, "How about this? I think we should let Weiye inform Mr. Wu first and see what Mr. Wu thinks. Otherwise, don't go against his original intention."

Hu Ling's suggestion seemed reasonable, but Ran Mo pondered it for a moment and said, "Sister Hu may have overlooked one point. Oftentimes, some things are best left to chance. If they are explained explicitly, it may become difficult to make a decision.

Since Master Wu has already approved of your relationship with Young Master Wu, and hasn't explicitly told you not to go, it would be best if you just went directly. This would save Master Wu from being embarrassed by mentioning the matter, or even having him reject you outright.

Hu Ling was stunned at first, then gave Ran Mo a thumbs-up and said, "Sister, you're really smart. I really overlooked this point. On the surface, I'm doing this to respect Mr. Wu's opinion, but in fact, it puts him in a difficult position and puts Mr. Wu in the middle, which is difficult to deal with."

Then she asked, "Also, I'm worried that there might be gossipy guests saying something unpleasant. My embarrassment is a small matter, but I hope the Wu family won't be embarrassed as well."

Ran Mo sighed upon hearing this and said, "Oh, my dear sister, if you are so cautious, how can you ever enter the Wu Mansion in the future? When the time comes, we will just focus on our feast. At most, we won't expose your relationship with Young Master Wu for the time being.

"And in the future, the Wu family will definitely help you clarify your identity, proving that you are also a descendant of an official and a well-educated and well-mannered lady. Who will dare to underestimate you then?"

Ran Mo's words were like ice and snow in the hot summer, which dissipated the dust and heat in Hu Ling's heart. She grasped Ran Mo's hand gratefully and said:

"Sister, you're such a rock. From the last meeting in the suburbs to helping me make decisions now, you've been so helpful. I don't know how to express my gratitude."

Ran Mo hurriedly said, "Sister, you're being polite again. Sister Hu is a noble person, and we share a deep sisterly bond. It's my duty to help you through this difficult time. I also sincerely hope that you live well, have a good family, and can write more good books in the future."

Hu Ling held Ran Mo's hand tightly, nodding repeatedly. Ran Mo then confirmed with her that they would attend the banquet at the Wu residence. He then glanced toward the door and told her that Master Wu and Qing Sheng were still waiting outside for news. She didn't stay long, and they would talk again another day.

Hu Ling then gave up trying to persuade Ran Mo to stay and sent her out. She then insisted on walking her out of the building, saying she wanted to talk to Master Wu for a few more words. Then the two of them left the brothel.

Then he spotted the two tall men standing under a tree not far away. Seeing them emerge, he immediately came over to greet them, looking at them expectantly.

Ran Mo kept a straight face and said nothing. Hu Ling wanted to speak, but seeing Ran Mo's expression, she kept silent. Wu Shao thought that he had failed to persuade Hu Ling, so he said, "Ah, it's okay. We can discuss it later if there is anything."

Ran Mo chuckled and said, "Sister Hu is generous and has already agreed to attend the banquet. We just need to help you plan the banquet preparations later."

"Really? That's awesome!" Wu Shao almost jumped up with joy. It was as if he was praising both of them. Qing Sheng also secretly raised his finger in praise.

Wu Shao walked to Hu Ling, held her arms with both hands, looked into her eyes and asked, "Ling'er, is it true?" Hu Ling nodded shyly.

Young Master Wu was so excited he wanted to talk to her. Qingsheng looked at her and quietly gestured towards Ranmo. Ranmo understood and said, "Then you two can chat. Qingsheng and I will go back first. We'll get together again some other day."

The two smiled and nodded. There was something strange about the way Young Master Wu looked at Ran Mo. Ran Mo didn't think much of it. Qing Sheng had already dragged Ran Mo away, grinning.

Wu Shao smiled and shook his head, then took Hu Ling's hand and went to the garden next door to chat tenderly.

Ranmo and Qingsheng walked to the shade of a tree. Qingsheng stopped, turned around and looked at Ranmo, then took her hand. Ranmo thought he was going to do something again, so she closed her eyes slightly.

In the end, Qingsheng used his fingers to pry open her eyelids, and then looked at her with a slightly serious look. She was puzzled and gave him a questioning face.

Qingsheng bit his lip and said solemnly, "Ranmo, I'm sorry, I accidentally revealed your identity just now."

Hmm? Ran Mo looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant. Qing Sheng continued, "Just now, when you went in to talk to Hu Ling, Master Wu and I were chatting outside. I didn't expect him to bring up such a question."

Ranmo was a bit stunned. He didn't know what they had said. Qingsheng then told him the whole story.

When Ran Mo walked into the fireworks building, Qing Sheng's eyes followed her until she disappeared. Then he heard a burst of laughter. He turned around and saw Wu Shao looking at him with a half-smile.

Qingsheng quickly regained his composure and asked Wu Shao what he was laughing at. Wu Shao said he remembered the time when Qingsheng and Ranmo were walking together, leaning on each other: if someone didn't know them, they would have thought they were a couple.

Qingsheng pretended to be angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Ranmo is a scholar, and I am a warrior. How can we be a couple?"

Wu Shao clapped his hands and smiled, "That's the first time I've seen a scholar and a warrior holding hands, looking so sweet and affectionate."

When Jingsheng heard this, he pretended to reach out and hit him. Wu Shao dodged, then blocked Qingsheng's hand and said sternly:

"Shengzi, we are good brothers. To be honest, no matter who you choose to be with in the future, as long as you like it, I will fully support you. Just like you support me and Ling'er."

When Qingsheng heard this, his anger turned into touching, but he didn't know what to say for the moment, so he looked to see if Young Master Wu had anything else to say.

Seeing that he didn't refute, Wu Shao continued, "It's just that you've also seen that Hu Ling and I have encountered prejudice and obstruction from our family members.

As for you and Ran Mo, two men, I'm afraid you will encounter countless difficulties and obstacles." As he spoke, his face showed an expression of both worry and sympathy.

When Qingsheng heard him say this, he couldn't help but laugh twice. Wu Shao looked at him strangely, wondering why he was so calm.

Qingsheng thought for a moment, made up his mind, and then said to Wu Shao with a serious face:

"Brother Weiye, I treat you as my best brother. Since you asked about me and Ranmo today, I might as well tell you the truth."

Wu Shao stared at him with wide eyes, never expecting that his joke would actually lead to such a big news.

Qingsheng said frankly: "Ranmo, she is actually a girl, and we have been officially dating for a long time."

"Huh?" Young Master Wu was so shocked he nearly fell over. He hadn't expected to uncover such momentous news today. Although he had previously felt Ran Mo's appearance and temperament were somewhat girly, he'd simply assumed that was just his trait.

Besides, Qingsheng and Ranmo's closeness was simply a matter of brotherly affection. Who knew there was actually something else going on? They were hiding it so well. Especially Qingsheng, who kept a low profile, even keeping his good brother in the dark.

Thinking of this, he put his arm around Qingsheng's shoulders and said, "Good boy, you didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Qingsheng smiled and nudged him, saying, "Okay, okay, I shouldn't have kept this a secret from you for so long. When Ranmo and I get married, I'll ask you to be my best man, okay?"

Wu Shaosong let him go and said, "That's more like it. Wait, what? This is a matter of course, right? I will definitely invite you to be my best man when I get married."

Qingsheng said quickly, "Of course. I wish you both a smooth and long-lasting marriage."

Young Master Wu patted him and said, "You've learned to be picky about words. Oh, it seems that Ran has had a significant influence on you."

Qingsheng joked, "Hu Ling's influence on you is not a little bit." The two of them immediately laughed and played together again.

As Ran Mo listened to Qingsheng's narration, waves of emotion surged in her heart, but then she calmed down again. She knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later.

She also hoped to be able to live with her real identity as soon as possible, and it would be better if the transition was smooth and did not cause too much unusual reaction. For now, Wu Shao's side could be regarded as a starting point.
