Chapter 1272 - 1274
After Zhao Gang and the others thought of this idea, they naturally started preparing for visa matters.
"Xuran, I’ll leave this to you." Zhao Xuran pursed his lips, looking resigned.
"You tell me why my dad keeps changing his mind all the time." When Zhao Xuran first started handling the visa, he had even suggested securing it together to his dad.
"If only we had sorted out the visas together, this wouldn’t be such a hassle." Zhao Xuran was feeling frustrated.
"I’m already overwhelmed and busy, ugh." Right now, Zhao Xuran wished he could clone himself several times just to manage everything.
Unexpectedly, his dad not only didn’t help but kept throwing problems at him.
"Argh, I really wish Guang Ran could handle this."
Seeing the ever-complaining Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but laugh out loud; it was the first time she’d seen him like this.
"What’s so funny?" Zhao Xuran probably thought she was being quite unreliable, and instantly felt embarrassed.
Gong Ruini wanted to keep her laughter in, but she found it difficult. "I just think you look quite cute like this."
Cute? Psh, what’s cute about him, "I’m a man."
"A responsible man."
"Being cute doesn’t suit me."
"I’m just venting, ugh, I now truly understand the struggles of being the eldest son."
"That’s why people think the eldest son is a responsible person, like you, like my brother."
"Of course, Guang Ran and Ban Xia are responsible people too, only their standards are too high." They’re either just playing around or working excessively.
As for Guang Ran and the others, let it be; they’re not his real brothers, and she’s the eldest sister-in-law, so it’s really hard for her to handle such matters, but Gong Ruzhi needs close attention.
"Luckily Xiao Zhi is following in Guang Ran’s footsteps, at least they can be separated for a few years." If he followed Guang Ran around every day, Gong Ruini really worried he might go astray.
Is this causing dissatisfaction with Zhao Guangran? Fortunately, he’s not here, otherwise, her little brother would be hopping mad.
"What, you think there’s a problem?" Gong Ruini noticed Zhao Xuran wasn’t showing an agreeable expression and felt annoyed.
With the demeanor that if he dared to say she was wrong, he’d be doomed.
Zhao Xuran dared not admit his wife was wrong, "Guang Ran isn’t doing well enough, but he hasn’t toyed with anyone’s feelings."
Zhao Xuran truly hadn’t thought that since Zhao Guangran didn’t have a girlfriend, it didn’t mean he was single; he was actually quite active socially.
With this thing, Zhao Xuran felt helpless; he couldn’t keep holding his brother’s hand, telling him this and that.
"We’re all adults. If he did something wrong, went astray, I could give him a reminder or two, but how do I address this?" Zhao Xuran really couldn’t figure out how to talk to his brother about this matter.
"Say he’s promiscuous? But he doesn’t even have a girlfriend."
"Say he’s wasting girls’ time? But no one’s complaining."
Humph, all excuses; Gong Ruini felt that the reason Zhao Guangran turned out like this was partly because Zhao Xuran didn’t discipline strictly enough. If he did, would he still be like this?
"I really don’t understand why you’re fixated on Guang Ran." Zhao Xuran felt his wife was veering off track with some matters.
Ha, so what if she’s fixated on Zhao Guangran; if not for him sometimes acting out of line, would she be doing this?
"You’re not hoping Guang Ran and Cao Na will get together, are you?" Zhao Xuran cautiously ventured.
Ha, when ever did she think this? Gong Ruini was quite angry, "How could I think that?"
"Even though Cao Na doesn’t have a boyfriend now, even if they’re in touch, I’m not foolish; there’s no way they’ll return to the past." Maybe Cao Na had this thought before, but now that’s long-abandoned.
Really? Zhao Xuran looked at Gong Ruini with disbelief, anyway he truly wasn’t convinced.
Gong Ruini was hurt by Zhao Xuran’s disbelief, "Am I such an untrustworthy person?"
"Do you think Guang Ran would stay clueless with his flirting behavior?" Gong Ruini felt maybe Zhao Guangran perceived Cao Na’s intent and then thought up such a scheme.
But the fact he’s addicted could be a problem, "A bit excessive."
That point Zhao Xuran admitted, "Once we’re in the United States, I’ll have a chat with him; young doesn’t mean having no restraint."
"Or else, what happens when he gets old?"
Flustered, Gong Ruini was speechless; she wanted to say that she’d said all of this to mean she hoped Zhao Guangran wouldn’t lead Gong Ruzhi astray, not to consider what happens when Guangran is old.
By the time it comes to that, it’s expected Zhao Guangran won’t be too upset because he’d have done all he wanted to do, without too much loss.
"Yeah, it’s something to consider; lack of restraint when young, what happens when old?"
Suddenly, Gong Ruini wanted to gross out Zhao Xuran, "I think it’s necessary to remind Guang Ran a little."
Remind Zhao Guangran of what? Zhao Xuran wasn’t sure, did she mean suggesting him to have some restraint?
"Protect his ’seed’ well, be cautious of germinating, otherwise he’ll end up being a dad." Having illegitimate kids, it all depends on the individual’s thoughts.
Seed? Initially, Zhao Xuran didn’t get it, but once he did, he tapped Gong Ruini’s forehead without ceremony.
"You..."
"But I reckon Guangran won’t take it seriously." Zhao Xuran remembered what Zhao Guangran once mentioned.
At the time, Zhao Xuran thought it was Zhao Guangran’s reckless abandon, but now perhaps that’s really what his brother meant.
Not take it seriously? Really hoping for a child born out of wedlock? Gong Ruini was stunned, "Wouldn’t Aunt Zhan and the others disapprove?"
Despite being Zhao Guangran’s child, if they’re illegitimate, would Zhan Jing and the others disagree?
Parents definitely wouldn’t agree, but once Zhao Guangran decides something, it’s really not controllable by them.
Alright, Gong Ruini had to admit, ever since Zhao Guangran went to the United States, he’s been utterly letting loose.
"Then I wish him lots of prosperity, because raising kids is expensive." And maybe providing financial support to the girl.
One or two isn’t bad, but if the numbers increase, the pressure grows significantly.
"That’s his business." What Zhao Xuran couldn’t say was he hoped Guang Ran would properly suffer a loss.
"You better not mention this to parents." Zhao Xuran knew his parents were going to the United States to tour and incidentally celebrate Zhao Guangran’s graduation.
If they learned about Zhao Guangran’s intentions, could they hold back?
Holding back is just impossible, they might directly lose their temper, causing chaos.
Of course, Gong Ruini wouldn’t be foolish enough to talk to Zhao Gang’s couple about this; it truly isn’t an ordinary issue, not something she could withstand their rage for.
"But you’re not planning on dragging this out forever, are you?" Dragging it isn’t really a solution.
"Once I’m in the United States, I’ll talk to Guang Ran." Wait till in the United States, talk to Zhao Guangran, if he still has this idea, then slowly ease this topic to parents.
"After all, right now, it’s a happy time for everyone."
"Yeah, we’re happily going to the United States." Gong Ruini wasn’t foolish; she certainly didn’t want this matter to escalate, at that point, would it end well for her?
