\u201cBrother, try these clothes on and see if they fit. I remember your size, but I\u2019m not sure if you\u2019ve gained or lost any weight recently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan Dongxiao looked at the size and replied, \u201cI make time to exercise every day. I won\u2019t let myself get fat. My size hasn\u2019t changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

He took out the clothes, tried them on, and said, \u201cThey fit just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to buy me any more clothes. I already have so many that my closet can\u2019t hold them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo said, \u201cI don\u2019t have a boyfriend right now. I saw Sister Tong buying clothes, so I picked up a few sets for you. But if I have a boyfriend in the future, don\u2019t expect me to keep buying you things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the perfect example of someone who puts men before family. So while you\u2019re still single, buy me a few more outfits. That way, when I want to wear something you bought, I\u2019ll still have something to wear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just joking. You\u2019re my brother. We\u2019re siblings for life. A husband might not stay with me forever. Many people get married and divorce after a few years once the feelings fade.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Lan Ruoruo\u2019s heart, the bond between siblings is lasting and lifelong.<\/p>\n

Love, on the other hand, might not be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s getting late. Go upstairs and get some rest\u2014you have work tomorrow,\u201d Lan Dongxiao said.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo hummed in response.<\/p>\n

She got up and went upstairs.<\/p>\n

Nothing more was said that night.<\/p>\n

Over the next two days, Lan Ruoruo didn\u2019t see Zhan Wei. She assumed he was spending time with his nieces and nephews\u2014she often saw new photos in Serenity\u2019s social media posts.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, there were pictures of Zhan Wei holding Beibei.<\/p>\n

Seeing Serenity out with the children made Lan Ruoruo feel a little envious. She also wanted to go out and unwind.<\/p>\n

But she still had to work, attend meetings, and handle documents\u2014her schedule was packed.<\/p>\n

She also needed to find time to invite Mr. Zhang out for dinner and meet with him.
\nZhang Shao didn\u2019t have a girlfriend. He had once gone on a blind date with Lan Ruoruo and developed a bit of interest in her, but Lan Ruoruo wasn\u2019t interested, so the relationship ended there.<\/p>\n

The weekend soon arrived.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, Lan Ruoruo was scheduled to attend a business reception.<\/p>\n

Zhang Shao had also received an invitation, so the two decided to go together.<\/p>\n

That evening, Zhang Shao arrived at the Lan family villa.<\/p>\n

\u201cSir, Madam, Young Master Zhang has arrived,\u201d the butler announced respectfully as he led Zhang Shao to Mr. and Mrs. Lan.<\/p>\n

Mr. and Mrs. Lan were already aware\u2014Lan Ruoruo had told them that Zhang Shao would be picking her up to attend the reception.<\/p>\n

\u201cUncle, Aunt,\u201d Zhang Shao greeted politely, holding the gifts he had brought. Although the two families were familiar, since he was coming as Lan Ruoruo\u2019s companion, he felt it inappropriate to arrive empty-handed.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo had told him she was willing to try dating him to see if they could develop feelings for each other.<\/p>\n

Zhang Shao already had some interest in Lan Ruoruo. Since she was open to giving it a try, he figured they could start as friends. If something developed, both families would be pleased.<\/p>\n

\u201cZhang Cheng, you\u2019re here. Please have a seat,\u201d said Mother Lan warmly.<\/p>\n

She stood up, took the gifts from him with a smile, and said, \u201cYou really didn\u2019t need to bring so much. This must have cost you quite a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re just health supplements\u2014small tokens of appreciation,\u201d Zhang Shao replied.<\/p>\n

Hearing that they were good for health, Mother Lan examined them more closely and smiled even wider. \u201cZhang Cheng, you\u2019re so thoughtful. Your Uncle Lan and I have been taking these products, and they\u2019ve been quite effective.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard from Ruoruo that you and Uncle usually take these types of supplements,\u201d Zhang Shao said with a polite nod.<\/p>\n
