Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Dad, if you hadn't been willing to pick me up, I wouldn't have been today. Maybe ten years ago, I would have been gone in this world. Isn't it accumulating a few lifetimes of virtue to be picked up by my father?"

This was heard in Lin Zhong's ears, but he felt a little guilty.

He picked up Lin Ruan and went home, but he did not let Lin Ruan live a good life, and he didn't even live a good life with enough food and clothing.

And now the things Lin Ruan gave to their family have long exceeded the so-called nurturing grace in the past ten years.

Seeing him like that, Lin Ruan knew what he was thinking.

In fact, when she first came, she was willing to take over Lin Han and Xiuxiu because of the original owner. Later, she was also concerned about Lin Zhong because of the face of the brother and sister.

But after getting along for a long time, she also felt affection for the Lin family and really treated them as close relatives. Therefore, she didn't think that she was good to them, it was a gift.

Isn’t it natural for relatives to be kind to each other?

Lin Zhong always feels sorry for Lin Ruan: "Aruan, your store has also been opened. Otherwise, I will take Ahan and Xiuxiu back to Huaiyang Mansion in the past two days. I am always worried that staying here will cause trouble for you. You have finally earned this honor. If it is destroyed by us, my father will never let you down in this life."

Lin Ruan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his cautious look: "Dad, don't say these words from now on. We are a family, and we will prosper and lose both. My glory is also yours. In the future, if Ahan can achieve success in his studies, the glory of his family will be continued to be carried forward by him. At that time, Ahan and I will support each other and will definitely strengthen our Lin family."

Lin Han also said, "Yes, Dad, don't say that again in the future. Do you still know what kind of person Aruan is? If she is afraid that we will drag her down, why should she take us everywhere? What we have to do is not only not to cause trouble for her, but also to find a way to keep up with her, not to drag her back, and not let others look down on her because of us."

Before, he always felt that he was brave and smart, and was deeply loved by his teacher in school. But when he met the queen mother today, he realized that he was really a frog in the well before. He understood even more how much difference was there for him to be with Lin Ruan.

Therefore, he must work harder, not only study hard, but also broaden his horizons. In this way, he will not be so nervous that he can't even say anything in the next such occasion.

After hearing the words of the siblings, Lin Zhong felt a sigh in his heart: "Aruan, Ahan, Dad understands, Dad will not say these despicable words in the future."

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "That's right. Dad, please take Ahan and Xiuxiu back and rest. I've been busy all day and I'm tired."

Lin Zhong hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go and rest now. You have been busy for a day today but haven't eaten well. Dad asked the kitchen to make some food for you. Remember to have someone bring it to you."

Lin Ruan responded with a smile, and the few of them left now.

When he returned to his bedroom, Lin Ruan sent someone to send hot water and took a good bath.

Lu'e asked the little maid to go to the kitchen to bring the food. When Lin Ruan came out of the bathroom, the food was already on the table.

Lin Ruan was really hungry and sat at the table and started eating.

Seeing Lin Ruan's hair dripping with water, Lu'e quickly brought a towel and snugged her hair for her.

After his hair was almost squeezed, Lin Ruan also put down the bowl.

Lu'e said: "Your husband, your hair is not dry yet. Why don't you lie down on the couch first? I will press it for you?"

Lin Ruan was about to nod, but heard the flying catkins outside report: "Qingjun, Prince Xiao is here, he is in the pavilion in the yard."

Lin Ruan immediately got up and went out, and saw Xiao Jingchen standing outside the pavilion, looking up at her.

The moon was very round and bright tonight, allowing her to clearly see the stars floating in his eyes.

Lin Ruan's heart beat, and she quickly walked downstairs, not wanting to let him wait for a long time.

"Why did you come so late? Have you just returned from the temple? Can you not guard the Queen Mother? Dasangkoji Temple still has some distance from Kyoto. Are you tired after rushing for so long?"

As soon as they met, Lin Ruan couldn't help asking in a series of questions.

Xiao Jingchen couldn't help laughing as she listened to the concern in her words: "It's okay, I'm not tired. Grandma has heavy troops to guard it, and the monks in the temple are not vegetarians, so you don't have to worry."

Lin Ruan couldn't help but smile in his eyes when he heard his words seriously.

In my impression, he is not a talkative person. Sometimes he can even express his meaning in one word, but he will never use two words.

But she clearly remembered that when he was with her, he talked a lot.

It seems to have been the case since the beginning.

But she had never paid attention to these details before, but now when she thinks about it, she feels a little sweet in her heart.

Lueye and his men lit incense in the pavilion, placed an ice basin, and quickly took the men back.

Xiao Jingchen led her into the pavilion, and the two sat down across the table, chatting casually about some irrelevant topics.

Lin Ruan could chat with him one by one at first, but after a while, his eyelids began to fight.

She got up very early in the morning and was busy all day. Now she was almost time to get close. It was not easy to hold on until now.

Seeing that her eyelids were fighting, Xiao Jingchen watched her doze quietly without disturbing her.

After she was completely asleep, he stepped forward and gently picked her up.

Lin Ruan was a gentle person. As soon as Xiao Jingchen met her, she woke up.

Xiao Jingchen whispered: "Go to sleep, I'll take you upstairs."

Lin Ruan was so sleepy that when she heard his low voice, she closed her eyes with great peace. It was as if she was forced to jump off the cliff by the man in black that night. When he flew over to catch her, she said, "Don't be afraid" and said, "Don't be afraid."

When Xiao Jingchen put her back on the bed, Lin Ruan only looked at him with her eyes open, and then closed her eyes again.

But she didn't know that her sleepy look made Xiao Jingchen's heart sway.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them in the room, Xiao Jingchen quickly bent down, kissed her on the lips, and then pulled the thin quilt for her, then turned around and left.

After he left, Lin Ruan, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes and pulled the quilt over to cover her hot face.

She actually woke up completely when he picked her up.

But she felt that it would be embarrassing if she kept awake and let him hold her, so she continued to pretend to be asleep.

Who knew that Xiao Jingchen, who was extremely serious on the surface, would steal fragrance and jade while she was "sleeping"!

Fortunately, she pretended to be sleeping and pretended to be similar, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed.

Xiao Jingchen, who was standing outside the house and did not leave, listened to the subtle movements in the house, couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.

That girl also has such a cute side.

It’s so cute that I want to swallow it in one bite.

But, she is still too young.

I can't be anxious. (To be continued)
