The Little Sweet Cutie always think that he is a stand-in - CH 48

“What is marriage?” Lin Ran then asked again. The two women laughed at him and stopped paying attention to him. They stared at each other before then leisurely said,

“Where is this kid from? Are you sick in the head?”

The other person followed suit and also laughed out loud.

Lin Ran wanted to ask another question, but the two women finished taking the water and pushed him out of the way as they turned their back and walked out.

Lin Ran stood dumbfounded in the pantry, a little lost in thought. To be a fiancée, you had to get married in order to be able to live together for your entire life? So Auntie was going to spend her entire life with Song Zhi Xu? Then how about Ran Ran?

As soon as Song Zhi Xu finished the meeting, he immediately walked to his office in big strides. It was already past lunchtime, Lin Ran hadn’t eaten lunch yet.

He was so busy today that he didn’t pay attention to the time, until the meeting was over then he realized that it was already almost 1 pm. Lin Ran was probably already hungry after staying in the lounge by himself. Song Zhi Xu walked back with big strides and pushed open the door of the lounge. The cartoon was still playing on the tablet but Lin Ran was not in the room. Song Zhi Xu searched there for a while but Lin Ran was not there. He glanced at the small fish bowl on the cabinet and saw that the little turtle was not there, so it must have been taken away by Lin Ran.

So where did Lin Ran go?

Song Zhi Xu went out of his office to look for Lin Ran, but after looking around, he still didn’t see him. Just when he was anxiously thinking that Lin Ran had gone downstairs by himself, he saw a figure behind the pantry door with his afterimage. Song Zhi Xu didn’t even think about it, but walked over to the door. Just as he entered, he saw Lin Ran, holding a turtle in his hand, standing in the pantry with his head bowed, staring at nothing, not knowing what he was thinking about.

“Ran Ran?” Song Zhi Xu called out to him, and Lin Ran came back to his senses as he looked up at him, but his gaze was still a little gloomy, with little expression on his face.

Song Zhi Xu thought it was because Lin Ran had run out on his own and was frightened by someone or that someone had bullied him, his brow furrowed deeply and he did not want to blame him for running around, he just pulled him gently into his embrace, hugged him, before lowering his voice and gently said,

“Ran Ran? What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?” Lin Ran froze and shook his head, leaning into Song Zhi Xu’s embrace for a long time before he asked in a somewhat timid and small voice, “Song Zhi Xu, will you stay with Ran Ran for the rest of your life?”

Song Zhi Xu was stunned, not expecting Lin Ran to ask such a question and after a long moment of silence he nodded solemnly.

“Ran Ran, as long as you are willing, I will.”

When Lin Ran heard Song Zhi Xu’s answer, his hand subconsciously gripped the hem of his shirt tightly for a moment before he asked again in a small voice, “Then, will Song Zhi Xu marry Ran Ran?”

Song Zhi Xu was even more surprised, but this time, he also responded quickly that this was definitely not a question that Lin Ran could have thought of, so someone must have said something to him or someone had said something that Lin Ran must have overheard their conversation.

Song Zhi Xu pushed Lin Ran out of his embrace and used his fingertips to lift his chin forcing him to look at him.

So Lin Ran for some moment was at a loss as to what to do.

When Song Zhi Xu saw that Lin Ran did not say anything. He sighed, held his hand and took him back to the office first.

Lin Ran was holding Xiao Guai and it had been struggling for a while, since he didn’t know how long Lin Ran had been carrying it out, so he would probably have to die of thirst if he stayed like that a little longer.

Lin Ran did not resist and was pulled into his office by Song Zhi Xu with his head bowed, who led him all the way into the lounge and closed the door. Song Zhi Xu took the struggling turtle from Lin Ran’s hand and put it into the water before pulling Lin Ran to sit on the edge of the bed and asking him again,

“Ran Ran, you tell me, why did you ask that?” Lin Ran’s body trembled a little and his eyes were a little red.

“Is Song Zhi Xu going to marry Auntie and live the rest of life with her? But, but, Ran Ran also wants to be with Song Zhi Xu forever.” Lin Ran gripped Song Zhi Xu’s wrist tightly and no matter what, he could not bear to let go of it.

Song Zhi Xu was even more confused, hearing what Lin Ran had said, but at the same time there was a bit of helplessness, therefore in the end, he could only explain to him seriously.

“Ran Ran, that’s my Mom, how is it possible that I get married to her? My dad will not agree either.” Song Zhi Xu thought of his dad’s cold face. If his Dad heard this, he would beat him to death. Lin Ran immediately lifted his head and looked at Song Zhi Xu, opening his mouth for a moment before then said in a small voice, “But, but they said that Auntie is your fiance and a fiancée is the kind of person that you will gets married to and live together for your entire life.”

Song Zhi Xu thought about it for a moment and understood, someone must have talked nonsense in the company which was overheard by Lin Ran.

The Xiao family and the Song family were old family friends, and the children of the two families have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Xiao Shilan was not yet twenty years old when she gave birth to Song Zhi Xu, In addition to that, Xiao Shilan had taken good care of herself over the years and had lived a comfortable life so her age didn’t really show from her outside appearance. It was probably because when she arrived at the office this morning, she was seen by the people there, that was why the rumours were spread.

Song Zhi Xu laughed helplessly a few times and knocked Lin Ran’s forehead a few times with his fingertip, then he pinched his cheeks again.

“Ran Ran, that’s my mother. My fiancée is the one I’m going to marry as my wife in the future, the person that is going to call her ‘Mom’ together with me. Can you understand that?” Lin Ran thought seriously about it for a moment, then shook his head again yet he seemed not really understand what he meant.

He just knew that a fiancée was someone who was going to marry Song Zhi Xu and to be his wife, to live with him for the rest of his life.

So Lin Ran asked again in a small voice, “Then can Ran Ran marry Song Zhi Xu and become your wife?”

Lin Ran asked innocently, Song Zhi Xu laughed a few more times. He couldn’t help but take him into his embrace, kissed him hard on the cheek several times and under Lin Ran’s anxious gaze, he said leisurely,

“Ran Ran, do you want to be my wife?”

“Hn.” Lin Ran hurriedly nodded his head, his gaze carrying a few moments of expectation.

“But being my wife is a very hard job, you have to work day and night, all year round. Can you do it?”

As soon as Song Zhi Xu finished speaking, Lin Ran immediately said,

“Ran Ran is not afraid of hard work, Ran Ran can do it, no need to rest.” As long as he could be with Song Zhi Xu for the rest of his life, he could do anything. He had decided a long time ago that he would always be good to Song Zhi Xu.

“Okay then, I’ll test you first.” When Song Zhi Xu saw how anxious Lin Ran was, he got the urge to tease him a bit and pushed his cheek forward, “Kiss me, I’ll test you first.”

Lin Ran didn’t know what he meant by “test the good”, but he understood the first two words, so he naturally leaned forward and gave Song Zhi Xu a kiss on the cheek, then left again.

Song Zhi Xu was not satisfied and continued to lean forward without moving.

Lin Ran thought about it and leaned over to give him another kiss on the lips, but before he could leave his waist was grabbed by Song Zhi Xu therefore he couldn’t run away.

There were only two people in the lounge and no one would disturb them, so Song Zhi Xu held Lin Ran tightly in his arms and kissed him hard.

The tip of his tongue pushed against his lips and teeth, probing in and finding his tongue, tangled it. Lin Ran was frightened by Song Zhi Xu’s somewhat fierce look, but he wanted to show a good performance and did not dare to push him away, so he could only shrink back. The two of them were already sitting on the edge of the bed as Lin Ran shrank, he was directly pushed into the bed by Song Zhi Xu as he pinned him underneath.

Song Zhi Xu’s hand went into Lin Ran’s clothes and caressed his smooth and tender skin slowly. He was about to go further when Lin Ran’s stomach suddenly made a “gurgling” sound.

Only then did Song Zhi Xu jerk back to his senses. It was almost one o’clock when he had just finished his meeting and now it was already one thirty after he had found Lin Ran and stayed with him in the room for a while.

Lin Ran had followed him out the house after breakfast this morning and hadn’t even eaten lunch until now, so he must have been hungry.

Song Zhi Xu sucked hard on his lips and finally could only helplessly stand up, looking at the little fool on the bed whose cheeks were flushed and whose lips were even more ravaged and red. He hooked his lips and let out a laugh before asking, “What would you like to eat? Shall I have someone to order the meal and bring it over or shall we both go out and eat there together?”

Lin Ran twisted his hands around his own shirt and slightly panting before he whispered in a low voice,

“Here, eat with Song Zhi Xu.”

He was still a little afraid of crowded places, so going out would make him nervous. Eating here with Song Zhi Xu made Lin Ran feel most comfortable. Song Zhi Xu looked at him and couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and lick his own lips, as if he was still reminiscing about what he had just tasted before. Finally, he stood up and went out to order food, and couldn’t help but say in low voice to Lin Ran as he walked to the door,

“Next time stay here for the ‘ready-made’ one, it will definitely taste better than the lunch.”

After saying that Song Zhi Xu closed the door and walked out, Lin Ran came back to his senses and hurriedly sat up, looking at the little turtle in the fish bowl, with all its four claws and paws sticking out, pouting his mouth.

The ready-made? So Song Zhi Xu is still thinking of stewing Xiao Guai and making it into turtle soup to eat?

Lin Ran leaned over the fish bowl and watched Xiao Guai inside for a little longer, until his lunch came and Song Zhi Xu called him, then he went out. Song Zhi Xu had just set up lunch, then Lin Ran sat down and ate with him.

After eating, Song Zhi Xu was free to take a nap with Lin Ran in the lounge.

He held Lin Ran in his embrace and waited for him to fall asleep before Song Zhi Xu got up and went back to work.

He had been in a meeting all morning and there were still a lot of documents that he needed to handle today.

In the afternoon, Song Zhi Xu received a message from Xiao Shilan saying that she had finished shopping and had directly returned to the villa.

Xiao Shilan had taken the key to the villa when she came out in the morning, so Song Zhi Xu didn’t bother with her anymore.

After Lin Ran woke up from his nap, he spent a few hours in the lounge watching cartoons so only until Song Zhi Xu got off work, only then the two of them went back to the villa together. Lin Ran was still thinking about becoming Song Zhi Xu’s wife but he was afraid that Song Zhi Xu would kiss him again to the point that he couldn’t breathe, so he didn’t dare to say anything. He only looked at Song Zhi Xu secretly.

When they got home and pushed open the villa door, Xiao Shilan heard the sound and came out of the kitchen with the dishes in her hand.

“Ma, has my dad not said when he wanted you to go back?” Song Zhi Xu walked over and took the dishes from her hand.

Before Xiao Shilan could say anything, another voice suddenly came from behind Song Zhi Xu, “Mama, Ran Ran can also help too.”

Song Zhi Xu had said that his wife was the person who called his mother, ‘Ma’ together with him.
