That night, because all the important figures came, Wang Kun didn't stay long in Lingxiu Village, worrying about disturbing the villagers, and took the group straight back to the city.

Meanwhile, Old Wang and that bearded man temporarily stayed at the clinic.

In Liu Ruyan's room.

Liu Zixuan leaned on the bedhead, "These days have been really fulfilling. From the detention center to meeting the city's big shots."

"Isn't that the case? It's like dreaming."

Liu Ruyan sat beside Liu Zixuan: "Aren't you going to the clinic tonight?"

Liu Zixuan shook his head: "I accomplished another big task for the village today, shouldn't I be here to properly receive the village beauty's gratitude?"

"What kind of thanks do you want?" Liu Ruyan looked at Liu Zixuan with unusual eyes.

"A kiss would be a good choice." Liu Zixuan said with a cheeky grin.

Liu Ruyan was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and frowned, "So late, why are they calling?"

"Who is it?" Liu Zixuan asked somewhat disappointed.

"My dad."

After saying that, Liu Ruyan answered the phone.

"Dad, why are you still up so late?"

"Ruyan, come home next Wednesday, the Wang family's son is returning from abroad next week. You two should meet." A voice from the other end came without a trace of emotion.

"He's coming back? What about my work here?" Liu Ruyan murmured with a furrowed brow.

"Once you latch onto the Wang family, are you worried about not having a job?" The person on the other end sneered.

"Hao Shuai is still here."

"I just heard about his incident, causing a medical accident at the hospital. He'll probably be busy with that for a while, so your mom and I decided to arrange for you to meet with the Wang family's son and then get engaged, get married." The person said.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's expression completely changed, her voice trembled as she asked, "Dad, but I don't like that Wang family's son, besides, we've never met."

"That's fine, that's why we're arranging a meeting for you next Wednesday. Moreover, the Wang family's young master is a returnee, a postdoc, and he's quite good-looking. More importantly, his family's influence is huge, which is beneficial for our family, it's a win-win situation."

Listening to the other end, Liu Ruyan sighed, "Dad, am I just a pawn for marriage alliances?"

"Ruyan, that's not right. Dad is thinking of your best interest. A girl shouldn't tire herself out in her career. Find a good husband, and your future life will be worry-free. Isn't that wonderful? So many girls can't even wish for it."

With a tone of persuasion, the person on the other end said: "Listen to Dad; I'm doing this all for your good!"

"But..."

"Alright, it's late, get some rest. Sort out your work these few days and return before next Wednesday." The person interrupted Liu Ruyan and directly hung up the call.

Liu Ruyan put down the phone, sat at the bedside with a dejected expression.

Liu Zixuan gently pulled her into his arms: "Don't be afraid; I'm here. As long as you're unwilling, I'll pave the way for you!"

"Zixuan, I want to be your woman?" Liu Ruyan suddenly raised her head, her misty eyes full of bewilderment.

Liu Zixuan was taken aback by the unexpected words.

Actually, Liu Ruyan had already thought it through. Although she wouldn't listen to her parents, her fate was still predetermined.

If in the future, there was truly no way out and she had to marry that Wang family's young master, Liu Ruyan wouldn't let her parents have their way.

Therefore, she'd rather give herself entirely to this man she liked now.

Seeing Liu Zixuan in a daze, Liu Ruyan's lips moved slightly and she directly leaned in to kiss Liu Zixuan.

The lavender scent lingered near Liu Zixuan's nose, his whole body felt hot, his mind went blank in an instant.

Looking at the delicate person in front of him.

Liu Zixuan's eyes welled up with warmth, and gradually the two embraced together.

About an hour later, Liu Zixuan leaned against the bedhead and lit a cigarette.

Liu Ruyan, with her flushed face, lay on his chest, her delicate hand wrapped around his waist.

"So... this is what it's like to become a woman from a girl."

Listening to Liu Ruyan's soft whispers, Liu Zixuan's hand explored her fragrant shoulder, smiling: "From now on, you, Liu Ruyan, are mine. No one can take you away or even have any thoughts about you. Otherwise… it's death!"

"Such dominance." Liu Ruyan shot him a glance, but her heart was filled with happiness.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of things on your family's side." Liu Zixuan said solemnly.

"The Wang family is different from the Hao family, besides, the Hao family now can't intervene because of Hao Shuai's incident, but they'll surely retaliate in the future." Liu Ruyan muttered with a frown.

"If I can make him have an incident once, I can do it twice, thrice. Hao family, Wang family, whatever!"

Liu Zixuan raised a mysterious and confident smile at the corner of his mouth, "Faced with gods, kill gods; faced with ghosts, slay ghosts!"

Liu Ruyan didn't bring up the matter again; she trusted her man!

A cigarette slowly burned out, Liu Zixuan kissed Liu Ruyan's forehead: "Sleep?"

"Sleep."

"Or... one more time?"

"Annoying!"

Liu Zixuan rubbed his hands, directly lifting the thin quilt over their heads.

...

Sleepless night.

The next day, Liu Zixuan woke up early, opening his eyes and feeling his arm slightly numb.

Looking over, Liu Ruyan was sound asleep, pillowed on his arm.

Long eyelashes, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, the blush on her beautiful face hadn't faded yet.

Liu Zixuan turned sideways, looking at the beautiful woman beside him, smiled: "Really getting prettier and prettier, no wonder so many people like you!"

"Ruyan, get up for breakfast!" At this moment, Sister Lian called from outside.

Liu Ruyan groggily opened her sleepy eyes, looking at Liu Zixuan in front of her, "It's all your fault, usually by this time I'm already up!"

"How is that my fault? You were quite comfortable last night too." Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.

Liu Ruyan glared at him hard, just about to get up, when a heart-wrenching pain came, she furrowed her brow and hit Liu Zixuan with her little fists…

Liu Zixuan looked helpless: Blame me?
