Liu Qingsong held his forehead, directly skipping the metaphor, "Anyway, before I get sacrificed, I definitely want to marry her, even if it's for a fleeting moment of fulfillment. But then I started thinking, although widows remarrying isn't forbidden nowadays, it's still better to have one partner for life. I fear that after I'm gone, Ran Yan, with her stubborn mind, might not get over it and would mourn me her whole life. You might think she values money above anything else, but with my charm, it's entirely possible to inflict such deep pain on her... Next is, I was thinking, am I being too selfish? Everyone aspires for a wonderful life, but usually, it's tragedy that leaves an unforgettable impact. Isn't it my destiny to enact a love story worth crying over, to earn everyone's tears? That must be the ultimate meaning of my sacrificial role, right? You know, I've always been seen as this healthy, optimistic person beloved by many young girls, women, and even elderly ladies. According to the usual course of events, if I were to die, the immense effect of thousands of women shedding tears - nobody would want to miss that, right? Among these thousands of women, Ran Yan wouldn't stand out at all, so her being the sole tragedy as my only wife is just that... the tragedy within a tragedy..."

A whole lot of messy, incoherent thoughts, the surrounding maids listened with complete bewilderment, only catching bits about his dying, each one of them looked at him in amazement. To speak of such things before a celebration was truly inauspicious!

Seeing Ran Yan's expressionless face, Liu Qingsong scratched his head and asked, "You understand how I feel, right?"

"Yeah." Ran Yan nodded, but before he could revel in her agreement, she shouted, "Someone! Throw him out."

Two guards ran over from the arch bridge, Liu Qingsong hurriedly said, "Hey hey, we're fellow townsfolk and during your loneliest, most helpless days, I brought a ray of hope into your life. Sister Nine, you can't just abandon me like this."

"A ray of hope? All I remember is you bringing a bundle of unreliable dynamite into my life," Ran Yan responded coldly.

Though she said this, she signaled for the guards to back off.

Liu Qingsong, having read too many books, couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction, especially at crucial moments, often using wild imaginations to escape. It was evident he suffered from pre-marital jitters.

With such observations, Ran Yan could only think of the most unreliable comfort she could muster, "Everyone is a book with a complete story. You and I are just series with some intersections, and in the end, it will all be complete."

Unexpectedly, such a senseless statement enlightened Liu Qingsong, "Ha! Sister Nine, you truly are talented. A few words from you cleared up issues I've been tangled with for over a decade! I knew there was a reason I stood out!"

"Throw him out," Ran Yan said flatly.

The guards standing by at the Water Pavilion immediately approached Liu Qingsong, "Dr. Liu, no offense."

"Don't really throw me out, what if I get hurt and can't get married tomorrow?" Liu Qingsong negotiated with the guards with a smile.

Ran Yan let out a heavy sigh. She had analyzed for a long time and still couldn't comprehend what kind of thoughts Liu Qingsong had in his head. His way of thinking was just too bizarre.

However, there was one thing Ran Yan had to admit, however unreliable Liu Qingsong was, his presence in itself offered her some mental support. This was also one of the reasons why she could always forgive him despite his frequent offenses.

Ran Yan returned to her room where Ruoruo crawled over to her excitedly.

The child hadn't reached a full year yet, and Ran Yan hadn't deliberately taught him to stand or walk. She was not very knowledgeable about childcare, but Liu Qingsong had said that it wasn't particularly good for children to stand or walk too early. Given his consistent enthusiasm for the children and his often correct guidance, Ran Yan chose to trust him.

Ran Yan picked up Ruoruo and tried teaching her to say "Mother." That day, Ruoruo blurted out "Yeye," filling Ran Yan with excitement, teaching the child to say "Mom." Later, Xiao Song didn't ask, but Ran Yan didn't want to seem too unconventional.

Ruoruo mumbled for a while, but still couldn't say it. As long as the child was healthy, it was only a matter of time, so Ran Yan wasn't worried.

"Lady, all the gifts for Dr. Liu are prepared," Ge Lan said. She had nearly become the manager of the Xiao residence, and the previous old manager now only needed to handle some external affairs of the Xiao family.
