She said, "The clan doesn't mean to oppose you two being together, it's just... they hope you can leave behind more offspring."
"???" Gu Ran was full of question marks. What did that mean? Did it mean I had to become a stud?
Such a good thing... of course I would refuse without hesitation!
Although men all want to enjoy the process of creation, I'm not a breeding machine, so I won't listen to you!
“Artificial insemination is also an option,” Zhang Wanjun said.
Gu Ran chuckled lightly, too lazy to say anything, and got up to leave.
But after taking only two steps, he sat back down in the chair.
"I'll show you something." Gu Ran took out a silver coin from his pocket and placed it in his palm.
Zhang Wanjun stared at the silver coin with a puzzled expression.
Gu Ran muttered incantations, chanting ancient dragon script.
Then Zhang Wanjun witnessed a miraculous scene.
The silver coin began to deform before her eyes, and then turned gold!
With another thought, Gu Ran controlled the gold in his hand to transform it, and in a short while it turned into a gold bracelet.
"It's for you." Gu Ran took her aunt's fair right hand and gently slipped the gold bracelet onto her slender wrist.
He got up again to leave, leaving behind his last words:
"Don't let any of your family's idiots come looking for me, or... I'll melt the Dragon Slayer Sword in a heartbeat, you believe me?"
After saying that, Gu Ran left gracefully, leaving Zhang Wanjun looking shocked.
This is alchemy!
What surprised her was not the technology of alchemy.
The Zhang family also has many alchemy researchers who can turn silver into gold.
But Gu Ran completed this change in the blink of an eye.
The efficiency is off the charts!
Moreover, Gu Ran's final statement that he melted down the Dragon-Slaying Sword was not just an angry outburst.
Zhang Wanjun could see clearly that with his skills, melting the Dragon-Slaying Sword would probably be a matter of minutes.
She knew Gu Ran's intention in doing this: to demonstrate her value and increase her influence within the Zhang family.
In this way, the members of the main family cannot do or say anything to Su Xiaoqiang.
They are now more afraid of pushing Gu Ran to the opposite side of the family.
The old folks in the family all know he's more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, so they won't cause any trouble in the future.
Of course, her short-tempered father, who has extremely low emotional intelligence and is Gu Ran's maternal grandfather, might not be so.
Hopefully, that old man won't become more and more disliked.
*……*……*
In the evening, to cheer up Su Xiaoqiang, Gu Ran made braised beef brisket and shredded chicken at home, both of which were her favorite dishes.
When I passed by the flower shop, I bought a bouquet of pink roses and a bunch of daisies for my little one, hoping she would be more sensible and not be a third wheel tonight.
Having gone this far, your girlfriend should be grateful and happy, right?
However, that's not the case!
When Su Xiaoqiang entered the house and received the roses, she smelled them briefly and then put them aside.
The happy expression on his face was not as good as Liu Miaomiao's.
The meal was rather bland; I just said it was alright, then quickly finished dinner and went back to my room to take a shower.
After taking a shower, it was only nine o'clock at night, and she was about to go to bed.
Chapter 239 Everyone's Being Unreasonable
In order to accommodate Su Xiaoqiang's schedule, Gu Ran had no choice but to turn off the lights and go to bed.
He reached out from under the covers, about to hug her and get intimate with her.
Su Xiaoqiang pouted, pushed Gu Ran's chin with both hands, and asked, "Do you know what you did wrong last night?"
"Was my mistake last night... neglecting you?"
"That's not the point."
"So what's the key point?"
Su Xiaoqiang pushed him away: "The point is, you have too many points to focus on. Stay away from me tonight! Go sleep in the living room!"
"Huh? Emiwaga ne! (I don't understand!)"
"Get out!" Su Xiaoqiang grabbed a pillow and threw it at Gu Ran.
Gu Ran had no choice but to go and sleep in the living room, feeling rather dejected.
Liu Miaomiao was in the living room, holding a bowl of cherries, eating them while watching a variety show.
She happily arranged the bouquet of daisies I gave her in a vase and placed it on the coffee table.
Gu Ran took two cherries from Liu Miaomiao's bowl and ate them, then asked, "Su Xiaoqiang... is she on her period?"
Liu Miaomiao glanced at the date, did some calculations, and said, "It'll be here soon, but that's not your problem."
"Huh?" Gu Ran looked at the little light bulb. "Do you know what the problem is?"
"In my opinion, it's more bizarre that you don't even know where the problem lies, isn't it?"
"How am I weird?"
"You really don't know?"
"I really do not know!"
Liu Miaomiao popped two cherries into her mouth and asked as she ate, "Didn't you notice she has dark circles under her eyes today?"
"Those are dark circles?" Gu Ran was taken aback. "I thought it was smoky eye makeup she had done on purpose..."
"Pfft, cough cough cough!" Liu Miaomiao was amused by Gu Ran. She accidentally swallowed a cherry pit while eating a cherry and it got stuck in her throat and trachea.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" She pointed to her throat, her breathing becoming increasingly difficult, her face turning red.
"Don't panic, don't panic, stay calm, I'm here!"
Seeing this, Gu Ran immediately helped her stand up, made her spit out what she was eating, then hugged her slender waist from behind, pressed his fist on her soft belly, and performed first aid using the Heimlich maneuver.
This method involves squeezing air out of the abdomen to expel foreign objects blocking the trachea.
Gu Ran first made Liu Miaomiao bend over, letting her little bottom sit on one side of his thigh, and then suddenly squeezed her abdomen with force.
This is standard first aid procedure. Although Liu Miaomiao's body is delicate and supple, Gu Ran had no romantic thoughts whatsoever.
If she couldn't vomit, he would use a chakra scalpel to cut open her trachea, and then quickly treat her with a palm healer's technique.
But doing so is undoubtedly equivalent to performing a minor surgery.
Gu Ran wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary.
Fortunately, the sudden surge of air pressure forced the cherry pit that was blocking the trachea out.
"Cough cough cough!" Liu Miaomiao spat out the cherry pit, her face flushed, tears streaming down her face, and coughed a few times.
Gu Ran gently patted her back, pressed her back down on the sofa, and then immediately checked the cherry pit for any bloodstains.
If there is blood, it is very likely that the sharp part of the cherry pit cut your throat, and you need to go to the hospital for further examination.
Fortunately, there was no blood on the cherry pit.
"Let's see if you dare to talk while eating again in the future!" Gu Ran sat on the sofa and forcefully pinched Liu Miaomiao's forehead.
Tears streamed down Liu Miaomiao's face; she thought she had almost died.
"Alright, alright, stop crying, it's all over now!" Gu Ran patted her head and comforted her.
Liu Miaomiao instinctively hugged Gu Ran, crying in his arms, still shaken.
"I was really scared just now, I thought I wasn't going to survive, waah—"
A soft little body rushed into his arms. Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, but seeing her frightened look, he couldn't push her away. So he wanted to pat her shoulder as if to comfort a friend.
Suddenly, his body felt a strong sense of crisis, and his eyes automatically activated a 360-degree all-seeing mode, immediately spotting Su Xiaoqiang leaning against the wall.
He quickly raised his hands and said to Liu Miaomiao, "Little girl, don't do this. If Xiaoqiang sees this, we'll be in deep trouble even if we jump into the Huangpu River."
Liu Miaomiao then released Gu Ran, her face still streaked with tears, looking pitiful.
Gu Ran never turned around, but he could see through his glare that Su Xiaoqiang was still there, eavesdropping like a ninja.
He said, "Why don't you go to Su Xiaoqiang's room, hug her, and cry for a while? She probably isn't asleep yet."
Gu Ran guessed that the commotion must have been too loud, which alerted Su Xiaoqiang.
It's like disturbing the witch in Left 4 Dead.
"No need, I was just startled." Liu Miaomiao regained her composure and said, "I'll explain to Xiaoqiang if she sees this, don't panic."
"What if... she won't listen to your explanation?" Gu Ran glanced behind her; Su Xiaoqiang was still there.
He continued, "You know, she sometimes likes to be unreasonable. Like today, she got angry with me for no reason."
You could see Su Xiaoqiang roll her eyes in the darkness.
Liu Miaomiao wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "That's because she overworked herself last night and didn't sleep well... You too, you should also be more restrained when you meet again after a long separation!"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Gu Ran exclaimed in surprise. "You need to make this clear: I didn't touch her last night!"
Liu Miaomiao gently patted her chest, glanced at the cherries on the coffee table, and was still a little shaken.
She sat up straight, took a deep breath, tried to compose herself for a moment, then looked at Gu Ran gratefully and explained to him with a smile:
"Those dark circles under her eyes, isn't it because you kept her up all night last night? And you, life is so long, why indulge in a moment of pleasure?"
"what?"
