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

Chapter 231: Don't Let Them Get Close

It wasn't long before the two of them arrived at Xin'er's house. They saw their nemesis, Red Hair, again. Ranmo frowned, but Qingsheng took the initiative and strode forward, chatting with Red Hair: "Hey, kid, let me discuss something with you."

The red-haired man looked at him blankly. If someone else had called him that, he would have rushed over to start a fight. But since it was Qingsheng in front of him, he could only glare at him and then lower his head without replying.

Qingsheng didn't care and added, "This is also for your sister's own good. Go and apologize to everyone you bullied and earn their forgiveness. They will become good friends with you and your sister in the future."

Ran Mo was speechless. Qing Sheng was too blunt. The red-haired man was choked and speechless. He simply picked up the clay pot he was fiddling with on the ground and went back into the house.

Then Xin'er came out of the house upon hearing the noise. She was overjoyed to see the two of them. She came up and tried to grab Ranmo's hand. However, Qingsheng was quick to move and pretended to be careless, stepping in front of Ranmo. Xin'er's hand almost touched his arm.

Ranmo noticed this and wondered what Qingsheng was doing. Was he asserting his sovereignty? Xin'er gave him a look of shame and irritation, even wanting to push Qingsheng aside. Of course, that was no less than an ant trying to shake a tree.

Qingsheng then said, "Don't you want to ask Hu Ling if she's attending the banquet?" Xin'er was stunned. This was indeed a question she should be concerned about. After all, she and Hu Ling had a good relationship. Then she looked at Ran Mo.

Ranmo nodded and said that Hu Ling had agreed to attend the banquet. Xin'er also showed a happy look on her face and said, "Then let's go to the banquet together. It will definitely be quite lively."

The two looked at each other and laughed. Xin'er suddenly asked, "What did you say to my brother just now? He looked a little unhappy."

"When have you ever seen him look happy after seeing us?" Qingsheng interrupted. Xin'er frowned and wanted to retort, but then she thought what Qingsheng said was true and kept silent.

Ranmo was curious about what was wrong with Qingsheng today. He had also learned to speak in a sarcastic way. Before she could say anything, Qingsheng said:

"Xin'er, oh, excuse me, this is the first time I'm calling you by your first name. I want to ask for someone else, what do you think of this kid, ah, this boy, ah, this young man, Azan?"

Xin'er looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to say. Qingsheng touched his forehead and looked at Ranmo. Ranmo looked at him with a hint of anger. He was a little embarrassed and said with a stiff upper lip:

"Well, it's like this. Everyone knows that Azan is my disciple. Now I tend to be more concerned about my disciple's personal affairs. I feel that Azan has a good impression of you. I wonder what your impression of him is?"

After saying this, he felt like he could dig a hole in the ground with his toes, so he looked up at the sky, ignoring Xin'er's expression and reaction.

Xin'er finally understood. This guy was just looking for trouble today. She replied coldly, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. I want to talk to Ranmo for a while."

Then he walked around Qingsheng's tall body and tried to get closer to Ranmo. Qingsheng came to his senses and quickly turned around again, continuing to stand between the two of them.

Xin'er said angrily, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Qingsheng crossed his arms and said, "If you have something to say, just talk. Why do you have to argue?"

Ranmo punched him lightly. Xin'er also took advantage of the situation and shoved him. But it was just like tickling him.

Xin'er suppressed her anger and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?" Qingsheng looked at her and said, "Since you asked, I'll tell you clearly, Ranmo and I..."

Ran Mo quickly poked him when he heard this, fearing that he would reveal his secret right away. Qing Sheng frowned and said:

"What are you doing? I wanted to tell Xin'er that you and I will live together in Dayue City in the future. I hope she can live happily here."

Ran Mo breathed a sigh of relief. But Xin'er's expression darkened slightly. She hadn't considered the deeper issues, but the thought of Ran Mo moving somewhere else in the future still weighed heavily on her mind.

Ran Mo hurried forward to comfort her, "Xin'er, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm not sure whether I will go or not." Xin'er relaxed her brow and said:

"It's okay, Ranmo, I know you have great ambitions. With your talent and knowledge, you will achieve great things in the future. I'm really happy for you." As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, and a gleam in his eyes.

Ran Mo patted her arm and said, "Look at you, you act as if we really have to part ways. Don't worry, I really don't want to leave Xiaoyue City and leave you and your friends."

Xin'er showed a relieved smile on her face. Qingsheng looked at her and wanted to say something else, but Ranmo stopped him with a look.

Qingsheng felt there was no need to say anything more. Xin'er's behavior today had already shown that she might not be able to accept Ranmo's change of identity for a while. So Ranmo was right; now might not be the right time to reveal his identity.

Thinking of this, he stopped making a fuss and said to Xin'er, "Xin'er, I was abrupt just now, please don't take it to heart."

Xin'er smiled and said, "I'm not that petty. It's just a little strange..."

What is it? They both looked at her nervously. Xin'er, seeing their expressions, burst into laughter and said, "Look how nervous you are! Could it be that Sister Hu's words really came true?"

The two of them became even more nervous after hearing this, and hurriedly asked Hu Ling what she had said. Xin'er blinked and said, "Not really, except for one time when I jokingly said that you two looked like a couple."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Qingsheng even showed a hint of joy. Ranmo said, "Sister Hu is quite the joker. Let's just wish her and Young Master Wu a long and happy life together."

"Right, right. We're really worried about her and Young Master Wu. So, do we need to make any preparations when we go to the banquet that day?"

This question was exactly the same as Azan's. Qingsheng naturally didn't dare to joke with her again, and Ranmo smiled and said, "As someone said, just keep your mouth shut."

The three of them burst into laughter. The atmosphere became more relaxed and lively. Xin'er suggested that they go for a walk in the vegetable garden. The two seconded the suggestion. Xiaoyue City had few green spaces, so the vegetable garden could also serve as a place for recreation and viewing.

The three of them arrived at a nearby vegetable garden. It was cultivated by several households, and because it was open, residents often wandered in. They either wandered along the edge of the fields or along the ridges. Just be careful not to trample on the seedlings.

The three of them gazed at the vast, vibrant vegetable patch and the vibrant greens planted there, lost in thought. After a while, Xin'er broke the silence and said, "Ranmo, what do you think, which is better, rural life or city life?"

Ranmo didn't expect Xin'er to ask such a question worth thinking about and discussing. After thinking for a while, he said:

"To each his own. It depends on what you prefer. There's no shortage of ancient poetry that praises pastoral life, like picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely gazing at the southern mountains. Of course, there are also those who prefer the bustling and bustling life of the big city, with its fine clothes, galloping horses, taverns and bustling streets."

"So which one do you prefer?" Xin'er pressed. "It's hard to say. Right now I still like small town life, but whether that will change in the future depends on the situation."

Xin'er nodded thoughtfully. Qingsheng said to Ranmo in a veiled manner, "You will definitely change your mind and choice in the future." Ranmo glanced at him and asked him what kind of life he liked.

Qingsheng smiled slightly, and then said solemnly: "Wherever the person I like is, I like the life there."
