"Sorry for upsetting Su."
As soon as Zhao Qiuluo sat down, she apologized to Jiang Linyuan.
"Then apologize to her. Why are you apologizing to me?"
Jiang Linyuan asked.
"Aren't you her boyfriend? I thought you might have to spend quite a while cheering her up, so I figured I should apologize to you first."
Zhao Qiuluo wore an apologetic smile.
She really knew Little Su's personality, and she was quite good with words.
"Cheering up your girlfriend can be a pleasure, too. Once she's feeling better, she'll be very sweet—especially when it's an outside factor that made her throw a little tantrum. That'll only bring you closer."
Jiang Linyuan smiled gently.
Zhao Qiuluo paused, but her expression didn't change. Her voice remained gentle.
"That's so nice. You two have such a good relationship. I wish my boyfriend and I got along that well."
Shen Wanyu glanced at her, then looked away.
"Wait, Sister Qiuluo, you're dating someone? I had no idea!"
Shen Guoguo looked up in surprise, still holding her bowl.
"We're already engaged. We're planning to get married after graduation."
Zhao Qiuluo smiled and blinked, holding out her left hand. The engagement ring on her middle finger sparkled.
"Wow, I never noticed you had a ring, Sister Qiuluo."
Girls loved shiny things, and Shen Guoguo's gaze was immediately drawn to the ring.
"It's so pretty."
"Don't be envious, Guoguo. Someday, you'll meet someone who loves you and puts a ring on your finger, too."
Zhao Qiuluo said with a smile.
"I'll pass."
Shen Guoguo stopped looking at the ring.
Zhao Qiuluo paused, then asked softly,
"Why?"
"Because if I get married, I probably won't be able to spend as much time with Sister Wanyu as I do now."
Shen Guoguo said.
Even her own parents didn't like her.
