Age: My Small World

"Why don't we talk to Ranran first and see what their decision is?"

Wei Min felt he should get an explanation from his daughter first.

Wei Ran had run away from home before, and once she became stubborn, not even ten oxen could pull her back. Wei Min never wanted to experience the feeling of losing his daughter again.

Meng Ran nodded helplessly: "That's the only way. I'll ask later."

The two dared not linger in the room, so after their intimate moment, they came out.

Wei Ran indeed changed into a white fleece outfit, which looked great on her and had a fashionable feel to it.

To be fair, Wei Ran is inherently intelligent and beautiful. Yang Jun had always wanted to get her a horse-face skirt to try on, and she would definitely be the most beautiful one there.

If we had to give a visual representation, it would be like Liu Shishi wearing a horse-face skirt, which would show just how stunning Wei Ran's figure and appearance are.

"This outfit is really nice, but it's a pity I can't wear it out," Meng Ran said with some regret.

The clothes were bought by Wei's father at the Friendship Store, a place specifically for foreigners, so there were many fashionable items available there, since foreigners like this kind of fluffy fabric.

However, after buying it, Wei Ran wouldn't wear it to work or anything like that, because it was too conspicuous.

"What's the pity? She looks good wearing it at home too." As a seasoned father, Wei Min truly doted on his little darling. As long as Wei Ran was happy, he didn't care if the hundred-odd yuan was wasted.

Yang Jun then took his leave, as it was getting late and he couldn't possibly stay overnight; otherwise, he didn't know what might happen.

Even though Wei Ran was somewhat reluctant, she couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about their promise.

After Yang Jun left with the malted milk powder, Meng Ran called to her daughter who was about to return to her room.

"Ranran, wait a moment, your father and mother have something to ask you."

Wei Ran turned around and sat down, puzzled.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Wei Min hesitated to speak, so Meng Ran could only continue, "Mom just wants to ask how things are between you and Xiaoshan?"

"Could you two go and get a marriage certificate or something?" she asked tentatively.

To everyone's surprise, Wei Ran suddenly shook his head: "Mom, I've said it before, I have no intention of getting married in this lifetime."

Wei Min's calm expression suddenly changed, not with anger, but with sadness, dejection, and even more so, self-blame.

"Ranran, what are you hiding from us? Xiaoshan is so good to you, don't you want to marry him? What is your relationship with him then? If you don't plan to marry Xiaoshan, how can you..."

Meng Ran usually looks gentle, but at this moment her brows furrowed, and she transformed into a resolute and strict mother.

"Mom, this is between Yang Jun and me, we will handle it."

Wei Ran didn't want to explain anything.

Wei Min suddenly took a deep breath and asked, "Ranran, does Xiaoshan know what you're thinking?"

Despite Wei Ran's repeated disagreements with Meng Ran, she would unconsciously respond whenever her father spoke.

"he knows."

"What?!" The couple were both shocked.

"Is Xiaoshan still too young to understand what marriage means?"

Meng Ran looked at Wei Min with some hesitation.

Wei Min shook his head: "No, that child is very shrewd; he probably sees everything clearly."

"Then why did he..." Meng Ran stopped mid-sentence.

Wei Ran was afraid that the two of them would make Yang Jun's image worse, so he quickly said, "Don't make wild guesses. This is something we both agreed on."

"And to be honest, Xiaoshan already had a girlfriend."

She had essentially given up. Rather than let Wei's parents keep pressuring her to get married, or even think about weddings and such, she might as well cut off their hopes from the start.

The blow Wei Ran delivered was undoubtedly difficult for the couple to accept.

"Ranran, are you saying you're the other woman?"

When Wei's father said those words, he was undoubtedly in great pain.

"There's no third party involved. It's just that we like each other. Anyway, I never thought about getting married, so I ended up with Xiaoshan. If it were anyone else, I probably would never have thought this way in my entire life."

"Ran Ran……"

Before Meng Ran could say anything more, Wei Ran waved his hand and said, "Anyway, that's the situation. If you want to say or do anything to Yang Jun, then I'll have to go find him myself."

Her meaning was self-evident.

"Boom."

As the door closed, the living room became eerily quiet, a deathly silence spreading through it.

Finally, with a heavy sigh, there was movement.

"Let her be, let her be. After all, it's her life to live. Let Ranran live according to her own ideas."

Wei Min looked as if he had aged five years in an instant, with a few more gray hairs appearing at his temples and around his ears.

Meng Ran stared silently at the table, lost in thought.

"Old Wei, next time Xiaoshan comes over, you should still tell him."

"What? Don't talk nonsense. You know Ranran's temper. She might not want to come back."

Wei Minning would rather his daughter stay at home safely than have her run away from home again; the fear was too terrible.

If he doesn't want to get married, then he doesn't have to. At worst, he can just raise his daughter until he dies.

Moreover, my daughter has a job, so I'm not worried about her lack of expenses in the future. I can save more money for her retirement now.

"What I mean is, let Xiaoshan get Ranran pregnant as soon as possible. She'll get too old if she doesn't have a child soon, and it's dangerous for her to have a child when she's older. It's not good to have a child after she's over thirty."

"Huh?" Mr. Wei was shocked. Weren't they just talking about marriage? How did they suddenly switch to talking about their child?

Meng Ran rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Our daughter is so determined not to get married, and she's even willing to be someone's mistress. Why don't you let her have a baby soon? At least when we have a grandson, you can decide whether you want one or not."

Wei Min nodded without hesitation: "Of course I want to."

Having a grandson is such a wonderful thing.

Many of his colleagues' children are married and have children of their own. At his age, they are already grandfathers or maternal grandfathers, and some even have grandchildren old enough to run errands. It would be a lie to say he's not envious. Wei Min also wants to be a grandfather.

"My grandson just wants to tell Xiaoshan that no matter whether he has a girlfriend or not, in our family, he is who he is, and he's considered our son-in-law. What's wrong with us urging him to have a baby?"

“That…that’s true.” Wei Min couldn’t refute it for a moment.

Fortunately, people still have the image of men having multiple wives and concubines, so Yang Jun's behavior wasn't criticized too much at the time.

Of course, the main reason for this was that my own daughter was too proactive. (End of Chapter)
