Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

Qiao Nansheng neither confirmed nor denied that becoming an outstanding diplomat was indeed his dream.

However, becoming a diplomat was not the best option for him, and a foreign language university was not the best choice.

He applied to a foreign language university for another reason.

Qiao Nansheng looked at Song Lingge, "And what about you? What is your dream?"

Song Lingge smiled shyly at him: "Actually, my dream used to be to be a diplomat."

"Before?" Qiao Nansheng caught the key word. "And now?"

Song Lingge lit a firework, not wanting to continue the topic.

I don't know if today counts as Qiao Nansheng's confession, nor do I know if today counts as their first day officially together.

Overall, I had a very happy day.

Song Lingge didn't want to ruin this beautiful moment.

"I've heard that the UK is a food wasteland. How about I teach you to cook? I'll teach you some simple and delicious dishes."

Qiao Nansheng shook his head, ruffled Song Lingge's hair, and said with a smile, "That's fine, we can do it together when we get there."

Song Lingge glanced at Qiao Nansheng, then quickly looked away, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Qiao Nansheng, I'm sorry, I probably can't go to the UK with you.

She only dared to whisper it in her heart, afraid that this person who could easily understand her emotions would discover her inner thoughts.

"Then after school starts, we'll go to your apartment, and I'll teach you."

"There's no stove over there, can we still cook?" Qiao Nansheng didn't understand these things.

Song Lingge nodded: "Make some simple and refreshing side dishes, you don't even need a stove. Besides, once you get there, studying is the most important thing. I just don't want you to go hungry, so I thought I'd let you learn a skill to improve your life."

"As long as you're here, that's enough! Besides, I'm not a picky eater."

Qiao Nansheng felt something was wrong; Song Lingge's words gave him a certain feeling.

It seems she won't go with him.

However, the joy of the two expressing their feelings numbed his senses, and the thought only flashed through his mind.

So, are you going to learn it or not?

Song Lingge's coquettish yet fierce tone made Qiao Nansheng willingly surrender.

"I'll learn, I'll learn. If you teach me, I'll definitely learn."

"Did you plan this all along?" Song Lingge asked.

A fleeting hint of shyness crossed Qiao Nansheng's eyes. "How do you know?"

"You didn't eat New Year's Eve dinner at home. We just ran into so many people from your family, and not a single person asked why you didn't come home for dinner. Even those two little devils, Zihan and Zichen, didn't seem to care. Do you think you need to make it any more obvious?"

Qiao Nansheng made a gesture of surrender, smiling as he said, "I admit that I told my family in advance that I was coming to have dinner with you. But I didn't know my aunt was here beforehand."

"Your aunt is here, aren't you coming over?"

"We'll see! It's hard to say."

Qiao Nansheng had told his family early on that the Zhao family was spending the holiday alone with only the two elderly people and Song Lingge, which was inevitably too lonely, so he wanted to go and keep them company.

If Qiao Nansheng had known beforehand that Song Jianmei was here, he might not have come.

After all, no matter what kind of person Song Jianmei is now, it cannot erase her relationship with Song Jianping.

Although Song Lingge and she were related by blood, their bond was always a bit weaker than that of Song Jianping.

He had to help Song Lingge notice the problems she hadn't.

If you get too close, you're bound to lose your perspective.

"Anyway, we are very happy that you came to have New Year's Eve dinner with us today. I can feel that Grandma and Grandpa are also very happy that you came."

Qiao Nansheng asked again, "So you agreed to be with me because Grandpa Zhao and the others liked me?"

This time, he dared not look Song Lingge in the eye and lit a firework to divert his attention.

Song Lingge remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "If they don't like you, then I definitely won't be with you."

Qiao Nansheng's burning gaze dimmed.

Song Lingge's voice drifted over again: "If they like you, but I don't like you, then I won't be with you."

It has to be said that Song Lingge knows how to whet people's appetites, keeping Qiao Nansheng's mood on the edge of his seat.

Qiao Nansheng chuckled: "Then you said it, we're already together."

This man is too good at finding loopholes, Song Lingge frowned.

Before he could retort, Qiao Nansheng added, "I was just kidding. I'm basically in my internship period right now. I'll have to go through you before I can be officially hired."

"Probation period," Song Lingge corrected.

She seemed to remember something and added, "We need to agree on three rules."

"Okay, you tell me first. If it's too unfavorable to me, I have the right to refute it and try to fight for it."

Song Lingge was amused; she truly was a master negotiator.

"First, our relationship must be kept secret until we are officially hired."

Qiao Nansheng shook his head and immediately rejected the idea: "No way."

He must be vigilant and guard against any possible recurrence of someone like Fang Guanghua.

Song Lingge explained, "I don't want my grandparents, especially Professor Qin, to know. At the very least, I have to wait until after graduation."

"Then keep it a secret from your family, but you don't need to keep it a secret from your classmates. Like Jing Chu and his friends."

Song Lingge nodded; she also had some thoughts she wanted to share with Yu Shaofen and Zhang Xiuxiu.

First, both sides reached a consensus.

"Second point..."

Qiao Nansheng interrupted her: "No, no, the three rules are for two people, how can you come up with them all?"

Song Lingge frowned again. Why was this man suddenly being so calculating?

However, this situation is also quite unfair to Qiao Nansheng.

They finally got into a relationship, but they immediately laid down three rules.

What kind of good person would act like this in a relationship?

Even a fool could tell that Song Lingge's demands were of no benefit to him.

It would be better to take the initiative to fight for your legal rights from the very beginning.

The first point is successful precedents.

"Okay, you go first." Since there was still a chance to refute, Song Lingge decided to listen to what this person had to say for the time being.

"Secondly, trust each other and never deceive each other."

......

Was this feature tailor-made for Song Lingge?

If there's mutual trust, that's fine; even if Qiao Nansheng didn't bring it up, she would have said it anyway.

But what the heck is "never lying"?

How can she never lie to him about what happened to her?

Even if she were willing to tell him, would he believe her?

Song Lingge sighed softly: "Mutual trust is essential, but never being able to deceive each other is not good."

"What's wrong with you? Are you planning to hide it from me?" Qiao Nansheng looked on with amusement.

"Let me give you an example. If Grandpa tells you something in the future, like asking you to read a novel today, I certainly don't mean to deceive you, but I had no choice. What do you think we should do in that situation?"

Qiao Nansheng pondered for a moment: "Special cases require special handling."

"No way!" Song Lingge refused righteously and firmly.
