A daughter's heart (thanks to the benefactor whose number ends in 13002 for becoming a league leader)

Ranni's question was simple.

The answer was either yes or no.

Yet Zhao Si felt unable to answer.

There was an issue involved: Ranni and Rennala were living together.

It was a gesture of goodwill from Godwyn, Miquella, and the others.
