"Oh, right, Miss Rongrong! Do you have any jade boxes here?"
In this peculiar atmosphere, Ye Qiu finally remembered the important matter!
"Jade boxes? What do you need them for?" Ning Rongrong looked at him curiously.
"Sister Rongrong is so silly! Boxes! Big Brother, of course, needs them to store things!"
Xiao Lan held a sugar-coated hawthorn skewer in her hand, her sticky mouth pulling out sugar threads.
Ye Qiu rubbed Xiao Lan's head, signaling her to stop talking.
'This naughty Xiao Lan!'
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, suddenly feeling that she was not well-behaved at all right now!
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, a smile appeared on her face again.
She looked at Ye Qiu with a beaming smile.
"Our family does have some, but we don't have any extra ones."
"Is that so~" Ye Qiu wasn't too disappointed; after all, he had originally just wanted to save some effort, and it wouldn't hurt if there weren't any. He could just go buy some himself.
Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes and smiled at Xiao Lan, then, in Xiao Lan's bewildered gaze, she directly hugged Ye Qiu's arm.
"But I can go with you to Heaven Dou City to buy some!"
Ye Qiu was about to agree, but before he could speak, Xiao Lan raised both hands in approval.
"Okay, okay! Let's go shopping together! Xiao Lan didn't get enough last time!"
Thinking of the delicious food on the street, Xiao Lan's mouth kept salivating.
"No way! Xiao Lan, you can't go!"
"Huh? Why!" Xiao Lan's small face stiffened, changing from happy to confused.
"What if you go, and that damned guy from last time sees you again?"
Ning Rongrong looked at her triumphantly, remembering the scene of Xiao Lan collapsing in front of her earlier. She still felt lingering fear, and couldn't help but tighten her grip on Ye Qiu's arm in her embrace.
"Ah! No, he won't! That ugly thing must have already left!"
Xiao Lan cried out in alarm, also feeling something was amiss, and caught a glimpse of Ye Qiu's expression, which showed he agreed deeply.
She quickly clung to Ye Qiu, pleading.
"Big Brother~ Just take me with you~ Please? Xiao Lan will be very obedient~"
"Hehe!" Ning Rongrong looked as if she had won a battle, her head almost resting on Ye Qiu's shoulder.
"Alright, Xiao Lan, Miss Rongrong is right, it's better for you to stay here!"
Ye Qiu was also a little worried. Tang Hao, that guy, hadn't left Heaven Dou City yet. If he saw her, it would be a big problem!
"Ah! I don't want to!"
Xiao Lan remained insistent. Seeing that Ye Qiu was not budging, she turned her attention to Ning Rongrong.
She pulled Ning Rongrong's small hand, pleading incessantly, even making a huge concession.
"Sister Rongrong, please take Xiao Lan with you~ Xiao Lan will never make fun of you again! I, I'll even share Big Brother with you a little!"
Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Lan strangely. When did he become her personal possession? She was already starting to allocate him!
Hearing Xiao Lan's condition, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, then she frowned again!
Although the condition was very tempting, she didn't want the little bit that Xiao Lan was sharing with her!
Miss Ning would fight for him herself!
"No! I, I'll listen to Ye Qiu!"
She pulled her hand back, smiled sweetly at Ye Qiu, and ignored Xiao Lan.
'Sister Rongrong! Then don't blame Xiao Lan!'
Xiao Lan looked at her tearfully, with a thought of mutual destruction in her heart.
She then said to Ye Qiu, "Big Brother~ Xiao Lan is so bored here. Why don't you let Sister Rongrong stay and play with me!"
"Xiao Lan?!" Ning Rongrong looked at the little brat in front of her in shock. Seeing Ye Qiu seemed a little swayed, she quickly explained.
"Ye Qiu, don't listen to her, I'm very familiar with Heaven Dou City, I can help you save a lot of detours!"
"But Xiao Lan is so bored!"
"I can help Ye Qiu!"
"I'm bored!"
Being pulled by two soft girls should have been a very comfortable thing, but the noise from both sides made it impossible for Ye Qiu to think.
"Can you two please be quiet for a moment!"
Ye Qiu said helplessly, pushing away the two faces that were leaning in.
Pushed by him, both became much more well-behaved, though their eyes still occasionally sparked with conflict.
"Xiao Lan, you just stay here. Miss Rongrong and I will go to Heaven Dou City!"
Ning Rongrong made a good point; he wasn't really familiar with Heaven Dou City.
And Tang Hao, who was hiding in some unknown corner, also made him temporarily afraid to take Xiao Lan out to cause a scene.
"Haha… That's great!" Ning Rongrong almost jumped up with joy. This was the two-person World she had been looking forward to for a long time!
"Ah~ How can this be!" Xiao Lan was like a defeated rooster, crestfallen, her pouting mouth could hang a pot of soy sauce!
"It's settled then! When Big Brother comes back, I'll take you to a good place! You'll definitely like it."
Ye Qiu rubbed Xiao Lan's head. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is very beneficial for plant growth, so he thought she would really like the environment there.
"Oh, right! Sister Rongrong will also bring you lots of delicious things back~"
Ning Rongrong also patted her little head, her eyes curved into crescents.
Xiao Lan looked a bit dejected, her mouth flattened.
"Alright then, Big Brother and Sister Rongrong must keep your word~"
"Don't worry! Big Brother won't be gone for long." Ye Qiu pinched her little face.
"Ye Qiu, when are we going then?"
Ning Rongrong held Ye Qiu's arm, unwilling to let go.
"Uh, hehe, you should get some good rest today! We'll go buy them tomorrow morning!"
He forcefully pulled his hand out, rubbed his arm, and looked at her chest strangely, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, his gaze and actions were all seen by Ning Rongrong.
Her face was a mix of shame and anger, flushed red, her willow brows stood on end, and her almond eyes were wide open!
"You! What kind of look is that! Miss will grow bigger sooner or later! I'll squeeze you to death then!"
After saying that, she didn't forget to puff out her chest.
"Pfft, cough, cough~"
Ning Rongrong's fierce words made Ye Qiu cough, his face turning a little red with embarrassment.
One could only say that it was indeed Ning Rongrong; such words could truly come out of her mouth!
Covering his face, Ye Qiu was also a bit speechless.
"Miss Rongrong, is it really okay for you to say that?"
"Who, who told you to look at me like that…" Ning Rongrong lowered her head, her arms crossed over her chest, covering her chest.
"Hmph! You two eat, I'm going to rest!"
She let out a cold snort and walked towards her room.
Bang! She slammed the door shut, leaned against it, and touched her chest.
"Hmph! I've clearly grown a little bit… This guy! He really just likes big ones!"
Seeing Ning Rongrong return to her room, Xiao Lan immediately pounced into Ye Qiu's arms, patting her small chest.
She looked at Ye Qiu curiously.
"Big Brother~ What kind of death did Sister Rongrong mean?"
Smack!
"Ah! Big Brother, why did you hit Xiao Lan again! Ugh~"
Xiao Lan covered her forehead, looking at him aggrieved.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Ye Qiu glared at her irritably.
