Gu Ran shrugged his shoulders, dodging the perfectly weighted little black fox.
"Aren't you going to change clothes?" he asked.
"Change clothes?" Losing support, He Qingyan propped herself on the couch, completely embodying an empress whose emperor had just abandoned her.
"You said it yourself, Mrs. Xiang won't let you dye your hair or dress conservatively."
"Do you think what I'm wearing is revealing?"
"I'm from the countryside, quite conservative."
"I just like conservative." He Qingyan looked at Gu Ran with a beaming smile, "Cute~"
"..."
"I'll go change, you guys wait for me." He Qingyan got up from the couch and walked towards her room.
Halfway there, she suddenly turned around as if she remembered something.
"Right, my mom doesn't allow me to wear conservative clothing outside, but at home, it's no problem—I'll only be revealing for you."
She blew a light kiss.
Gu Ran truly was a country man, utterly sincere and easily teased out of his composure.
