Chapter 381: Young Couple
At the dinner table, Lin Ran kept winking at Lin Wanjun.
He asked in a low voice: "Sister! Why didn't Yuan Qianyun tell me such an important thing when he came home?"
"Ah? I wanted to tell you, but as soon as you came back, you went into your room and ignored me. Do you blame me?" Lin Wanjun glared back not to be outdone.
Lin Ran would never have thought that Yuan Qianyun would follow his sister home.
She is the eldest lady of the Yuan family.
However, now was not the time for discussion. Lin Ran wanted to show his loyalty as a landlord and took the initiative to pour wine and dinner for Tang Lanxuan and Yuan Qianyun. But when he was about to give it to Yang Jianlong, Yang Jianlong snatched the bowl away.
"Godfather, I can do it myself."
Father Lin also seemed very happy. He raised his cup and said, "Welcome everyone to come to my house for dinner. The house has not been so lively for a long time."
"Indeed, not only Xiaoran is back, but also Jianlong, Director Tang, and this..." Mother Lin looked at Yuan Qianyun with a smile, making her feel a little embarrassed.
"This is Yuan Qianyun, Wanjun's good sister." She didn't know how to introduce Yuan Qianyun.
Others laughed.
Yang Jianlong, of course, needless to say. He and Yuan Qianyun both lived in Wangjingcheng Community and had become old acquaintances since the Liulichang incident.
Tang Lanxuan just looked at Yuan Qianyun with a smile and asked, "Qianyun, is your grandma okay?"
"Except for the high blood pressure, everything else is fine. Thank you Grandpa Tang for your concern." Yuan Qianyun said obediently.
Lin Ran couldn't help feeling that the world was so small, and everyone he went around was familiar with him.
Instead, it seemed that Father Lin and Mother Lin were strangers to her.
After everyone drank, they also brought the topic to Lin Ran.
In front of his parents, Lin Ran did not mention what happened in the tomb, so as not to worry his parents.
They just mentioned that they found a traitor in the museum, as well as Jiang Hao and Cai Yan.
"Cai Yan has only been away for more than a month, and he is already able to take charge of his own business. It's great." Tang Lanxuan felt very relieved. Originally, he was worried that if Cai Yan was removed from the museum, he would deteriorate.
But he didn't expect that he had found a more suitable stage, and his arrangements were not in vain.
"It'll be great if your godfather comes back safely. I'd like to give you a drink, my dear." In fact, only Tang Lanxuan and Yang Jianlong were aware of the danger Lin Ran encountered. He talked about it lightly, obviously not wanting to worry his family.
He admired him even more in his heart and couldn't help but want to toast him with a glass of wine.
At the dinner table, they chatted about the cultural relics unearthed in Shuzhou and interesting local stories, and they had a great time chatting.
But the meal only lasted until about one o'clock. Tang Lanxuan glanced at the time and said, "There are still matters to be handled in the library in the afternoon. Tang will leave first."
Yang Jianlong took the initiative to stand up and said: "Director, let me see you off. I have to go back to the store to do some work."
Father Lin and Mother Lin knew that Tang Lanxuan was busy with official duties and it was inconvenient to keep him, so they sent him to his doorstep.
Lin Ran originally wanted to go to the store to take a look at the situation, but thinking about Yuan Qianyun at home, he decided to go to the store to take a look tomorrow.
After bidding farewell to Yang Jianlong and Tang Lanxuan, lunch was also over.
Lin Wanjun took the initiative to help her parents pack their belongings, leaving only Yuan Qianyun and Lin Ran in the living room.
The atmosphere became a little awkward, but Lin Ran spoke first: "Seeing as you haven't eaten much, is it because you're not used to farm food?"
"No." Yuan Qianyun said quickly, "I am losing weight, so I eat less. The food cooked by my uncle and aunt is delicious."
"That's good." Lin Ran looked at Yuan Qianyun, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Looking around, Lin Ran's parents and sister were busy in the backyard, so she summoned up the courage to ask, "Lin Ran, have you encountered any problems since you have been in Shuzhou for so long?"
Her intuition was so keen that she had been listening to Lin Ran telling the story of Shuzhou and felt that he had deliberately concealed everything that happened in the tomb.
The key details of why he later became close to Jiang Hao, Fatty and others, and how he discovered that Yan Gui and Xu Yuchen were traitors were not mentioned.
She was not a careless person, and she knew that Lin Ran didn't say what he thought.
Now that they were alone, she couldn't control her inner emotions and asked worriedly.
Lin Ran felt a little shy and touched his wrist.
Originally I wanted to say it was okay, but I didn't want Yuan Qianyun to worry.
However, when he touched the red rope on his hand, he suddenly remembered that if he had not touched the amulet at the entrance of the mausoleum, he might have finally chosen to give up.
In an instant, Lin Ran figured it out.
He smiled and raised his right wrist, showing the amulet tied with a red string to Yuan Qianyun.
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for it, I might really...not be able to come back."
Lin Ran decided to tell her the truth, not wanting to hide anything from the girl in front of him.
After listening to the story, Yuan Qianyun's eyes were a little moist, but she was even more surprised by one thing.
"Have you been wearing it?"
Yuan Qianyun's face was a little excited, but he felt a little shy, so that his voice was trembling when he spoke.
She originally wanted to turn her head to the side, but saw Lin Ran looking at her, so she tried to control her emotions and let her eyes meet his.
Looking at her eyes, Lin Ran actually understood everything.
He smiled at Yuan Qianyun and nodded. Although he didn't speak, he didn't say anything.
Unconsciously, Yuan Qianyun no longer felt embarrassed.
She thought Lin Ran's eyes were beautiful, and the two of them were getting closer and closer.
Yuan Qianyun never thought that a boy would come into her heart like this. From the first time they met in Liulichang, she could not forget the boy's figure.
Her hand first touched the red rope, and then felt wrapped in Lin Ran's hand.
The faces are getting closer and closer...
Just as they were about to kiss, Lin Wanjun's voice suddenly came from the backyard: "Dad, Mom, how is our new house going?"
Her voice startled both of them.
Father Lin and Mother Lin came out with the washed dishes and chopsticks, ready to put them in the cupboard.
Father Lin asked curiously: "Didn't I tell you just now? The roofing has begun, and it will be ready for living after the decoration is completed."
"That's good." Lin Wanjun looked at Lin Ran and Yuan Qianyun with a smirk and a proud expression.
Yuan Qianyun's cheeks were flushed, and she immediately stood up and said to Lin Wanjun: "Sister Wanjun, thank you for inviting me to your house for dinner, but it's getting late, so I should go back."
"How are you going back?" Lin Wanjun asked, "Xiaoran, how about you take a taxi to see her off?"
"Okay." Of course Lin Ran would not trust Yuan Qianyun to go home alone. Although the security in the village was good, a beautiful young lady like her could still be easily targeted.
At first, the two of them walked as before.
But while walking, Lin Ran tried to put his hand on him. Yuan Qianyun avoided it at first, but the second time he touched his finger...
Instead, the tension in my heart disappeared.
Holding hands became a natural thing.
"How are you going back?" The two came to the entrance of the village. Lin Ran found that there were only rickshaws here, and felt that the price was a bit low.
Yuan Qianyun suddenly pinched his face: "I haven't ridden a rickshaw yet, why don't you come with me?"
