I Want to Hold Your Hand and Cross This Bridge

Xiao Yize's smile mirrored the mischievousness of his yellow-faced emoji.

"Lin Ran, it's been a while since you've trained. I wonder how much your martial arts skills have rusted. Let's spar sometime this week."

Lin Ran was speechless.

He felt it wasn't sparring but rather an invitation to be dismantled.

Quickly, Lin Ran sent a red envelope to Xiao Yize, hoping it would appease any lingering threats.

"Congratulations, Young Master Xiao, on winning over the beauty!"

"I'll save a seat at the kiddie table for your engagement party!"

"When's the wedding? I'll bring the Civil Affairs Bureau to you!"

"You and Miss Gu are a match made in heaven!"

After a long silence, Lin Ran sensed a reprieve and showered Xiao Yize and Gu Jin with compliments about their compatibility.

Finally, after enduring ten minutes of Lin Ran's praise, Xiao Yize relented.
