Chapter 454 Fanwai Five Dim Lights (Ruan Lingjun×Xiao Deyin)

「Are you free tomorrow?」

Not long after Xiao Deyin came to Gu's residence, Ruan Youqing asked in a somewhat mysterious manner.

Originally bent over to tease Ruan Youqing's child who was just out of the full moon, after hearing this, Xiao Deyin raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: "You can go out just after the full moon?"

Ruan Youqing coughed lightly, then bent his eyes and said slowly: "It's not that I can go out, it's...um...my mother wants to ask you out."

「Huh??? General Mu asked me out?」

Obviously, Xiao Deyin looked very shocked at this moment.

Especially the instant light in her eyes made Ruan Youqing inexplicably worried about her mother's safety.

Miss Xiao Deyin is good everywhere, but her biggest shortcoming is that she likes their Ruan family mysteriously.

However, before Ruan Youqing could continue to speak, Xiao Deyin sat directly next to Ruan Youqing, Su Bai's fingers had already grabbed her sleeve: "What's the matter with General Mu asking me out? Tell me in advance, I want to Think carefully about how to get General Mu a satisfactory answer at that time!"

Seeing her like this, Ruan Youqing smiled helplessly: "I don't know, I'm afraid I think you have some unreasonable thoughts about my mother."

"No, no, I don't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts about General Mu. She is an extremely sacred existence in my heart!"

"Hmm..." Ruan Youqing pursed her lips, then continued to speak with a deep smile, "There is an extremely sacred existence in your heart... I want to bring her son to meet you."

"Huh? Why?" Xiao Deyin looked bewildered.

"You don't know?" This time it was Ruan Youqing's turn to be surprised.

Before Ruan Youqing was taken away by Baili Huaijin, Mu Fei entrusted a well-known matchmaker in Beijing to find many small portraits of famous women in the capital for Ruan Lingjun.

And Ruan Lingjun picked Xiao Deyin.

"A matchmaker brought your little portrait to my elder brother, you...don't know?" Ruan Youqing frowned slightly.

Although she is very satisfied with Xiao Deyin being her sister-in-law, if the other party is unwilling, she must not be able to force him to do so.

But Xiao Deyin covered his lips and smiled after being surprised: "The small portrait was actually passed on to your Ruan residence?"

"Then...you know?" Ruan Youqing was even more surprised.

Xiao Deyin didn't hold back anymore, and replied in a gentle voice: "The family has been deliberately looking for a matchmaker to propose marriage to me these days. It happened that I was with you during the two days when you were born, Yunhe Xingluo. It is a more natural reason for the family. ...You said that Young Qing had already given birth to a pair of children...then...the urging at home became even tighter."

Hearing this, Ruan Youqing naturally showed guilt on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Deyin patted her hand lightly and continued: "Actually, I can understand what my parents think, so...if they can't hide, I just take the initiative to ask them to take the small portrait to the matchmaker. It turns out...it turns out...to your house Come on. Is this considered...fate? Maybe the matchmaker thinks your brother and I are a match made in heaven?"

"Then... let's take a look around?"

"Okay, please tell General Mu that Deyin will be on time for the appointment tomorrow."

Ruan Youqing nodded with a smile and said hello, Xiao Deyin chatted with him for a few more words and stopped disturbing her and the child's rest.

Until the next day, Xiao Deyin came with his mother as promised.

After all, Mu Fei, the head wife of the Ruan Mansion, is also with her. As a girl who has not left the cabinet, she will not pay enough attention by herself.

Mother Xiao got up early in the morning to tidy up after she knew that the eldest son of the Ruan family had taken a fancy to her daughter.

After arriving at the appointed restaurant, Xiao Deyin and Xiao's mother were directly invited by the shopkeeper to a private room on the second floor.

It seems that the Ruan family should have arrived long ago.

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Deyin heard a clear female voice.

It was Mu Fei, General Mu.

After taking a deep breath to keep himself from getting excited, Xiao Deyin maintained a decent and generous posture and saluted.

It wasn't until she sat down that she gently curled her hands up, feeling that her palms were full of sweat.

Whenever he sees the heroine in his heart, General Mu, Xiao Deyin feels that his blood will be stirred up.

"Major General Ruan has made great achievements at such a young age. It is really admirable."

"Thank you Madam Xiao for your compliment."

The conversation between the two ladies brought Xiao Deyin back to sobriety in time.

Xiao Deyin also realized that she was looking at Ruan Lingjun this time.

but..

She has met him many times, but she remembers that Major General Ruan treats others like an iceberg, of course, except for his two sisters.

When a person with this kind of temperament comes out to see a girl... how will he react?

Thinking of this, Xiao Deyin has boldly looked at Ruan Lingjun.

As a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw a pair of bottomless star eyes looking at him.

The two looked at each other, but neither of them avoided it. Xiao Deyin hooked his lips and smiled back, while Ruan Lingjun nodded slightly.

Mu Fei has always been meticulous in his observations. After seeing the interaction between the two children from the corner of his eye, he also narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Afterwards, because Mu Fei adjusted the atmosphere, the meal was very harmonious.

Even Ruan Lingjun, who has always been used to a cold face, looked much more relaxed than before. It can be said that no one can find any fault.

Seeing her mother's increasingly satisfied expression, Xiao Deyin smiled helplessly in her heart.

After eating, the two mothers were very enlightened and gave them a chance to be alone on the grounds of going out to buy something.

Of course, the accompanying servant girl is still there, so as not to ruin Xiao Deyin's reputation.

And Xiao Deyin finally couldn't help laughing after seeing his mother leaving with General Mu on his arm very affectionately.

Ruan Lingjun, who was sitting upright, finally showed a slight change in expression, and turned to look at Xiao Deyin.

Xiao Deyin took the initiative to explain without him asking: "Before I came, my mother was worried that General Mu would be too strong and difficult to get along with."

Ruan Lingjun spoke slowly after hearing this: "My mother follows her own heart when getting along with others. She treats those who suit her heart sincerely, and those who are flattering. She doesn't even give a smile."

"I know that. I admire General Mu the most." Whenever Mu Fei was mentioned, the smile on Xiao Deyin's face became brighter.

As a result, Ruan Lingjun at the side finally realized something was wrong, and said in a deep voice, "You came to meet me...couldn't it be because you admire my mother?"

Xiao Deyin smiled and shook his head: "Of course not."

This answer inexplicably made Ruan Lingjun heave a sigh of relief.

But before he could continue to speak, Xiao Deyin looked at him with his chin on his hands, "I met you because I like everyone in the Ruan family~"

Ruan Lingjun looked back with a somewhat complicated expression, and he didn't know how long it took before he broke into a smile: "Then... Thank you Miss Xiao for liking our Ruan family..."

The slightly awkward exchange between the two finally made the servant girl and the servant who were serving beside her unable to stand it any longer. The maid was alert, and after giving the servant a look, she quietly backed out.

Within a quarter of an hour, the two mothers who had gone shopping came back empty-handed.

After complimenting each other a few more words politely, the two sides went back home.

After returning to the mansion, Mother Xiao immediately grabbed Xiao Deyin's hand and said, "How do you feel? Do you want to marry him?"

Xiao Deyin nodded without showing shyness: "It's okay to get along with. Although he is not good at words, he is much better than those men who can only flatter and talk. If mother also thinks it is suitable, then there should be no problem."

The conversation between Mu Fei and Ruan Lingjun on the other side was also crisp and neat.

"It's not the first time you've met Deyin. I had a brief chat with her mother just now. Her mother is also a reasonable, gentle and virtuous wife. You don't have to worry about any problems for you in the future. So, what do you think of her? Should I marry her or continue to look at another family?"

Ruan Lingjun frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, before nodding seriously and answering: "Since mother thinks she is good, then find someone to come to propose marriage later."
