(Hehe, the number of favorites has exceeded two digits. Xiaolong thanks everyone for your support!)
Hearing his question, Zhao Yanzi glared at him. "I'm not the kind of kid who would fall in love!"
Hao Ren looked at her. "I don't think you're that mature."
"Of course I'm not as mature as you, uncle!" She deliberately emphasized the word "uncle".
Hao Ren smiled and stopped arguing with her. He looked back at Zhao Guang who was quietly reading documents in the study room, then at Zhao Hongyu who was busy in the kitchen, and finally at Zhao Yanzi who looked like a pretty girl from a humble family. He suddenly felt very warm.
No matter how one looked at it, this family of three was just an ordinary well-to-do family. And I suddenly became a member of their family?
Hao Ren felt like he was in a fog.
"Time to eat!" Zhao Hongyu shouted as she walked out of the kitchen with the last two dishes.
Zhao Guang, Zhao Yanzi's father, put down the documents in his hand and walked out of the study room.
"Hao Ren, come and eat with us," Zhao Hongyu said to Hao Ren gently.
Zhao Yanzi glared at Hao Ren as if she wasn't convinced.
"Don't look like that. Even if Hao Ren isn't your fiancé, he is still our guest," Zhao Hongyu patted Zhao Yanzi's head and lectured her.
Hearing the word 'fiancé', Hao Ren's head buzzed again.
"Sit down and eat," Zhao Guang sat down and said to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't turn down the hospitality, so he found a seat and sat down.
The table was full of four people.
"Are you busy with your studies?" Zhao Hongyu gave him a pair of chopsticks and asked.
"Mm, it's alright." He had just met them. Why was he having dinner at their house and greeting each other like a family member when they had just met?
He thought for a moment and finally remembered that he was here to ask about the so-called "Dragon Clan".
"I know you have a lot of doubts about us, but I believe you will slowly get used to it," Zhao Hongyu added as if she could read his mind.
"Little Zi is only in her second year of junior high. Logically speaking, it's still too early to talk about marriage at this age. But in our circle, these things can be settled a long time ago. What I have to say is that Little Zi's life is in your hands. "Zhao Hongyu's expression suddenly changed and became serious.
Hao Ren froze for a second and got serious.
"You swallowed Little Violet's inner core. In fact, we can forcibly take it out of your body, but this will definitely cause you quite a bit of harm. In fact, Little Purple was a very kind person. She didn't want to solve it in such a violent way. From a personal point of view, I also didn't want others to bear the consequences of Little Purple's mistake. So … "
Zhao Hongyu suddenly paused. Hao Ren couldn't help but look at Zhao Yanzi, but she immediately turned her head away.
"So, we've decided to leave Zi's inner core in your body for you to cultivate. But I have to say that it's not absolutely safe. If you don't reach a certain level within a certain period of time, your body won't be able to suppress the tyrannical energy of the inner core. The consequences will be very dangerous, "Zhao Hongyu continued.
The gentle-looking Zhao Hongyu suddenly became so serious, and it made Hao Ren a bit nervous.
"I don't mind telling you the truth." Zhao Guang suddenly said, "In fact, taking the Dragon Core out of your body and returning it to Zi wouldn't have any negative effects on Zi. However, in order to convince the others, I asked Elder Lu to tell a small lie. He said that Zi couldn't adapt to the Dragon Core that was left in your body. Actually, I didn't want them to harm your life."
Hearing this, Hao Ren suddenly felt like he was in great danger. He had been on the brink of death for a few days.
Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren and said, "Now you have two choices. First, let us take the core by force, which is very risky. Second, cultivate according to the method we gave you. There are also risks, but the risks will be much lower. "
"What I want to know is …" Hao Ren turned to look at Zhao Yanzi and said, "How will Zi be affected if she loses this thing?"
Hearing Hao Ren call her 'Zi', Zhao Yanzi pouted and didn't say anything.
"For now, there is no danger. However, three years later, when Zi is 18, if you can't open all the openings in the dragon core and transfer half of the connate dragon essence to her, she won't live for more than two years, "Zhao Guang said.
Suddenly, everyone at the table became silent.
"In other words, if we follow the second plan, everyone will have to take the risk, right? Zi will be fine under the first plan, but I will be in danger, right? "Hao Ren asked.
"Indeed." Zhao Guang nodded.
Everyone at the table became silent again.
"What about the fiancé?" Hao Ren asked.
"That is the situation of the second plan. If everyone chooses the second plan, then you will have to become husband and wife to accomplish something," Zhao Guang said slowly.
"Become husband and wife?" Hao Ren thought about it and suddenly understood. He looked at Zhao Yanzi's face again, and it was as red as a tomato.
"Is there no other plan?" Hao Ren thought about it and asked.
"Not at the moment," Zhao Guang answered without hesitation.
Everyone at the table was silent again.
"Zhao Yanzi has bet her life on me. Why is she still hesitating?" Hao Ren thought to himself.
"I won't kill him, but I don't want to marry him either," Zhao Yanzi said suddenly.
"These two conditions can't coexist," Zhao Hongyu reminded her.
"I won't marry him anyway!" Zhao Yanzi pouted, and her face turned red as well.
"Then, shall we kill him?" Zhao Hongyu asked her.
"That … is not necessary." Zhao Yanzi bit her lip, and her expression became even more awkward. After all, she was the one who made the first mistake, and Hao Ren was innocent.
"Since you all have no objections, then let's go with the second plan," Zhao Guang slammed the table and said, "Let's eat!"
"Dad …" Zhao Yanzi still wanted to resist, but Zhao Guang stopped her with a look.
"Zi, you have to take responsibility for your own mistakes …" Zhao Hongyu comforted Zhao Yanzi gently, "I've looked into Hao Ren's background. He is a very filial and sensible young man. Your dad and I are very satisfied with him. Otherwise, we wouldn't have agreed. As long as you don't be stubborn, he will treat you well in the future. "
Hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, Hao Ren, who was sitting across from her, stiffened his body and didn't know what to say. He had never thought of marrying such a little girl as his fiancée …
"Ren, is your English good?" Zhao Hongyu asked Hao Ren suddenly. After confirming that Hao Ren was Zi's fiancé, she changed the way she addressed him.
"Um, it's passable," Hao Ren answered. He thought to himself, "Since you have looked into my background, you probably know better than me whether my English is good or not."
"Here's the thing: Zi is good at all subjects, but her English is a bit lacking. For the next few days, you can come over to tutor Zi in English every night and cultivate a relationship with her, "Zhao Hongyu said.
"Who wants to cultivate a relationship with him …" Zhao Yanzi pouted and said softly.
"This …" Hao Ren was not confident that he would have to come over every night. Besides, he had never been a tutor before and had no experience in this area.
"At the same time, Zi can also give you some guidance on cultivation, and you two can help each other. I think this is good for everyone," Zhao Hongyu continued.
Although Hao Ren didn't really want to accept her as his fiancée, he didn't dare to let his guard down when his so-called cultivation was related to Zhao Yanzi's life. He thought about it and said, "Ok, but you don't need to send a car to pick me up anymore. I'll come over myself."
"Um, it's not too far from your school. If I take the bus, I can get there in one 767." Seeing that Hao Ren had agreed, Zhao Hongyu smiled faintly, but it was so sweet that it made Hao Ren's heart flutter.
Hao Ren turned to look at Zhao Yanzi and thought, "This girl's features and face shape are so similar to her mom's. When she grows up, she will probably be a gorgeous girl."
"Humph!" Zhao Yanzi snorted and avoided Hao Ren's gaze.
