Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Luo Ming was aware of Liu Ou and Xie Xiao.

After Liu Ou and Lin Yu got together, Luo Yanran had mentioned it at home a few times, so he had a general understanding of Lin Yu's family situation.

It could only be said that children of this age sometimes act without much consideration.

Luo Ming, however, wasn't surprised.

Just as he was about to speak to calm the situation, he heard Luo Yanran shout, "Dad!"

Luo Ming swallowed the words he was about to say and hummed, "What is it?"

"Dad, you will help us, right?" Luo Yanran's tone was somewhat frustrated.

What she had been most concerned about was that the people were targeting her, using this opportunity to make her dad stop dealing with Luo Xia's family in the future.

That family was like vampires, and every time they would make her mom angry.

She really hadn't considered that this would affect her grandmother as well.

Now, feeling a bit panicked upon hearing Luo Ming give a reminder, Luo Yanran became anxious.

At this moment, Liu Ou spoke up, "Otherwise, I'll ask my dad..."

But she also knew that given her dad's current attitude toward Lin Yu, it really wasn't easy to say.

Lin Yu, however, frowned, knowing that dealing with troublemakers was indeed a hassle.

After all, expecting any semblance of morality from this group of people was essentially impossible.

Xie Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I could ask Old Xie to check in every day..."

But this was impractical, considering Xie Qing was already very busy with teaching senior grades.

There was no counting on Doctor Yang either; mainly because they all had to work.

They couldn't follow Grandma around all the time.

Seeing them finally become anxious, Luo Ming sighed, "So you see, often it's better to think things through more thoroughly. You're still too young for that. I will take care of this matter."

Luo Yanran, curious, asked, "Dad, what do you plan to do?"

Like in the novels and TV shows, will you have someone follow her 24 hours a day?

Luo Ming smiled, "It's enough to have Liu Huan leave. As for the others, they don't really have a direct conflict with you all; them accompanying Liu Huan to the police station was just for their so-called 'brotherhood.'

As for this age group and such a motley crowd, they're not worth your attention."

"Liu Huan leave? To where?"

"I have a friend who runs a military-style management school. I'll have him go there. I believe three years of military management will bring a wayward youth back on the right path..."

In the end, Luo Ming dropped the three of them off at Liu Ou's residential complex's entrance and then headed back.

Since they all claimed to live nearby, Luo Ming didn't bother about it anymore.

Sitting in the car, Luo Yanran looked at the message Xie Xiao had sent, which was to remind her to call him when she got home.

He probably had a lot more to clarify about Liu Huan's matter today.

After all, Luo Yanran hadn't told Xie Xiao about last time's incident.

She felt it wasn't necessary.

But she hadn't expected that Liu Huan really was brainless.

Luo Yanran replied with an emoji and then put her phone away.

From the rearview mirror, Luo Ming saw her action and asked, "Message from Xie Xiao?"

Luo Yanran hummed a confirmation, then added, "Dad, did you realize what I was trying to do today?"

Luo Ming smiled, "I did realize it. You and your mother both disapprove of your aunt, huh?"

Luo Yanran didn't make a sound.

Luo Ming laughed and then sighed, "I don't like your aunt either, but you see, her father once saved my life, so I've been quite indulgent with her over the years."

This was something Luo Yanran hadn't known; she had thought it was just her father's leniency.

As Luo Ming drove, he continued, "I know you did it on purpose, wanting me to stop dealing with them in the future, right?"

Luo Yanran didn't reply, which served as her tacit agreement.

Luo Ming seemed somewhat helpless, "Actually, you and your mom could've just told me directly. Sometimes, I really feel you mother and daughter are quite alike in character. Would I willingly upset you two over outsiders?"

I had already planned to make it clear to Luo Xia that this was going to be the last time, since even a debt of gratitude has its ending.

The main thing is that the success of Uncle's surgery entirely depended on the doctor he had asked to come.

This counts as repaying the favor completely.

He couldn't possibly ignore the opinions of his family and keep taking care of them forever.

It's just that his wife knew about these things, but his daughter didn't.

That's why such a scene happened today.

Given Luo Yanran's personality, she would never deliberately try to infuriate someone like that.

To some extent, Luo Ming did understand his own daughter.

"This matter is over now, and I will handle the rest," he said, "In the future, when you and Xie Xiao are dealing with each other, just speak up about anything. Don't be afraid of troubling him or think that it's not worth mentioning. Often, that's how conflicts start."

I never expected that one day I'd be teaching my daughter how to date, which feels really weird.

Luo Yanran, for her part, nodded thoughtfully.

After Xie Xiao got home, he even called Lin Yu to check on her because Luo Ming's words must have made her worry today.

These kids are going to school tomorrow afternoon.

I bet they are worried and won't be able to sleep.

Sure enough, when the call went through, his concern was evident in his voice.

Xie Xiao reassured him, saying that Luo Ming was reliable in his words and actions and, being an elder, promised to visit Grandma every day for the next week until she went off to school, to keep her company.

In the end, Lin Yu felt a bit more at ease and said, "Thanks, brother."

Only after a few words from Xie Xiao did she finally hang up.

Xie Xiao exhaled, seriously thought about everything that had happened tonight, and realized he hadn't quite recovered from the shock.

What a mess of events.

Even before tonight, he had no idea who Liu Huan was.

Honestly, the feeling was a bit unsettling.

He sighed and patiently waited for Luo Yanran's call.

Luo Yanran's call came just before midnight, "I just took a shower."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even through the phone, Xie Xiao could imagine her freshly bathed, soft appearance.

He couldn't help but smile, "I'm already lying down."

It was quiet on the other end for a while before she spoke, "Hmm, I've been counting, and it's been a long time since you last held me to sleep."

It sounded like a complaint, and also a bit coquettish.

Instantly, Xie Xiao's heart softened, and he almost said, "Why don't you come over to my place to sleep tomorrow?"

But he still had a bit of common sense.

Fortunately, Luo Yanran seemed to feel that this topic wasn't quite suitable for late-night chat, as it might lead to unintended consequences.

She quickly changed the subject.

She explained who Liu Huan was and what had happened in brief.

In the end, she added, "I didn't think it was necessary to tell you before, because that family is just a bit disgusting."

After hearing the story, Xie Xiao took a deep breath, "Actually, it was necessary because then I would have taken action today."

Luo Yanran sighed, "Then we'd have to settle it privately!"

Otherwise, if both sides started fighting and, according to Xie Xiao's intentions, he started it, it would be even harder to explain.

In the end, both of them fell silent and then laughed.

After laughing, Xie Xiao suddenly said, "From now on, don't keep things from me, okay?"

"I didn't mean to keep it from you, I just thought you might find it boring, always talking about everything," Luo Yanran's voice was quiet.

"It's not boring, as long as it's about you," he replied.

"I like you so much, nothing about you could ever be boring."
