Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 320 A Wooden Lump
Su Ying shrugged, "Why would I need to lie to you? Besides, there are so many people here to witness this. If you're going to do it, hurry up, or I might change my mind!"

Jiang Rourou rolled up her sleeves and approached Jiang Xue, "Mom, for our happy life, you'll have to suffer this time. Don't worry, I promise to finish this quickly and give you a quick death!"

Jiang Xue was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. "Rou Rou, I'm your mother. How could you hit your own mother for such a small amount of money?"

"Mom, I don't want to either, but look at our life now, I have no choice. I'm doing this for both of us, please just bear with it, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

Jiang Xue's face was slapped to the side, and she covered her face for a while before she could recover. "Rou Rou, you..."

Snapped!
Jiang Rourou gritted her teeth and slapped him again.

"What an unfilial daughter! She actually laid a hand on her own mother! She'll be struck by lightning!"

"This is so bizarre! What kind of person is this?!"

"If I were her mother, I would have severed all ties with her long ago!"

The surrounding onlookers were abuzz with discussion, criticizing Jiang Rourou.

But Jiang Rourou couldn't listen to anything at that moment; her only thought was making money.

Xiao Ruonan clapped her hands, "I've really seen something amazing today! I've seen everything imaginable, from ghosts to demons!" *Clap!*

"Four!"

Snapped!
"five!"

Realizing what had happened, Jiang Xue pushed Jiang Rourou away, saying, "Rourou, you...you've really disappointed me!"

So she slapped him back.

Someone called the police, and mall staff and officers arrived one after another to separate the mother and daughter. The mother and daughter's faces were so swollen that they were almost unrecognizable.

Xiao Ruonan clutched her stomach, laughing uncontrollably. "Sister-in-law, look at their faces! They look like pig heads! It's hilarious, hahaha..."

Jiang Rourou was furious and embarrassed. "You're still laughing? Su Ying, you said one million, where's the money?"

Su Ying spread her hands: "I'm sorry, I said ten hits, not one less, but you only hit five, so I'm sorry, I can't give you a single penny!"

"You tricked us?" Jiang Rourou was furious and rushed over to confront Su Ying, with Jiang Xue also coming to help.

Fortunately, Su Ying reacted quickly and dodged in time. The mother and daughter not only missed their target but also bumped into each other.

"Officers, did you see that? This mother and daughter beat up my sister-in-law in full view of everyone, ignoring the law. Are you going to do anything about it?" Xiao Ruonan complained aggrievedly.

The police officers arrived and said, "You two are disturbing public order and endangering the safety of others. Please come with us!"

Amidst the disapproving gazes of the crowd, Jiang Xue and her daughter Jiang Rourou were taken away by the police officers, and the scene finally returned to calm.

"Sister-in-law, if you encounter these two scoundrels again, just call the police. Don't waste your time with them. I've never seen such shameless people before. They're so brazen that they dare to ask you for money!" Xiao Ruonan said indignantly.

Su Ying laughed and said, "Anyway, we're bored, so let's just watch the show!"

The two left together.

Sheng Yu followed behind, her expression unchanged throughout.

……

"You're back!"

Ning Zhiyuan brought a chill with him when he entered the room. Xiao Ruonan offered to help him put his clothes away, but he refused and insisted on doing it himself.

In his eyes, Xiao Ruonan was his lover, his benefactor, and someone he needed to cherish and care for for the rest of his life. He couldn't give this girl anything, nor did he need her to give him anything. She just needed to sit and be his queen.

In Ning Zhiyuan's eyes, Xiao Ruonan sacrificed far more for him than he had given.

Are you hungry? I made you something delicious!

As Xiao Ruonan opened the insulated lid, a rich aroma wafted into her nostrils. It was a bowl of fragrant wontons, topped with a few sprigs of bright green cilantro. It looked appealing, and it must taste good too.

Ning Zhiyuan was taken aback. "You did this?"

Xiao Ruonan nodded with a sense of accomplishment, "Of course, I just learned it, so I don't know how it tastes. You can try it for me!"

Ning Zhiyuan scooped one up and tasted it, his slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing.

"How is it? How is it?" Xiao Ruonan asked anxiously.

"It's delicious, even better than what I've had in restaurants! Except..."

Xiao Ruonan was overjoyed at the first part of the sentence, but the next two words made her smile freeze: "Except what?"

"Ugh! It's a bit salty!"

"Salty? No way, I remember..." She picked one up and tasted it herself, "Pfft! It's so salty, how could this be!"

Ning Zhiyuan handed her water, saying, "You've done a great job already. Just make sure you get the proportions right next time!"

"No, redo it. I refuse to believe I can't do it right. These are just small wontons, can you handle them properly?"

"Fifth Miss..." Ning Zhiyuan couldn't stop Xiao Ruonan's competitive spirit.

Watching the small figure busy in the kitchen, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Xiao Ruonan seems different from before. She used to be spoiled, arrogant, and conceited, but now she is cute, genuine, and down-to-earth. He has seen her changes little by little, and he finds it unbelievable, yet he is deeply attracted to her.

This time, Xiao Ruonan's wontons were a great success. It wasn't because Ning Zhiyuan was being overly emotional, but because they tasted really good. After finishing a whole bowl, her whole body felt warm, and even her heart felt warm.

"How was it this time?" Xiao Ruonan rested her chin on her hand, blinking her big eyes with a hint of anticipation.

Ning Zhiyuan was lavish in his praise, "Very good, you could even make a tutorial!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Xiao Ruonan happily hugged his neck, "Actually, I'm quite capable too, right?"

The faces of two adults, a man and a woman, brushed together, and sparks of love ignited between them, leaving them both stunned.

The room was only air-conditioned, but the temperature was as hot and intense as if you had fallen into a volcano. Pink bubbles floated everywhere. Faced with Ning Zhiyuan, this blockhead, Xiao Ruonan had no choice but to take the initiative.

"Alie!"

Ning Zhiyuan's dark, bright eyes were fixed on her.

Do you want to kiss me?

"Fifth Miss, I..."

"Fine, I'll do it then!" Xiao Ruonan grabbed his collar and pulled him closer, then brought her lips to his.

I thought it would be a wonderful night, but who knew that Ning Zhiyuan would run away at the crucial moment.

Yes, that's right, he escaped.

"I'm sorry, Miss Fifth, I don't think I'm mentally prepared yet!"

Xiao Ruonan: "..."

He threw a cushion into the empty room and yelled, "Ah Lie, you're such a blockhead!"

The old residence of the Xiao family.

Several people were absent from the breakfast table today, except for Grandpa Xiao, only the eldest son's and third son's families.

The old man's face screamed "unhappiness." The only sound at the table was the clinking of cutlery; he remained silent, and no one dared to speak. Suddenly, he noticed the empty seat next to Xiao Jiayang. "Where's Xiao Wu?"

Chen Wanru explained, "Dad, Xiaowu is too delicate. She's always in pain, so I've decided to let her rest in her room. You don't need to worry about her!"
