Chapter 175: Lin Qingzhi’s Strong Matchmaking Efforts

“Haoran, I’m going back with Ranni. Drive us, okay?”

Lin Qingzhi pulled Chen Ranni along, giving Wang Haoran meaningful looks.

Over time, Lin Qingzhi had grown close enough to Chen Ranni to invite her for sleepovers.

Since Chen Ranni was someone who couldn’t hide her feelings, Lin Qingzhi could easily tell she was sulking now.

Though Lin Qingzhi didn’t know why, judging by her looks at Wang Haoran, it was clearly related to him.

Lin Qingzhi felt the most important thing now was for Wang Haoran to come and cheer up Chen Ranni.

“Haoran, hurry up!”

Seeing Wang Haoran still giving Xia Xinyan’s pale feet a fortune reading, Lin Qingzhi urged.

I’ve already caught the person for you, quickly come over!

Seeing Lin Qingzhi so insistent, Wang Haoran, who initially wanted her to stay, reluctantly got up.

“…Alright, Xiaoyan, stay here and don’t move. I’ll be back to finish your reading!”

After instructing, Wang Haoran followed Lin Qingzhi out.

Actually, Lin Qingzhi’s place was only five or six minutes away, driving would be more cumbersome.

But it didn’t matter.

Once Wang Haoran sat in the driver’s seat, Lin Qingzhi eagerly pushed Chen Ranni into the front passenger seat and sat in the back.

“Let’s go, remember to drive slowly!”

“…”

Drive slowly? No way!

Wang Haoran pressed the gas pedal, and with a “whoosh,” they quickly reached their destination.

At the flower shop.

Seeing no progress between the two, Lin Qingzhi was getting anxious.

“Haoran, Ranni, I’m going to make lunch. You two sit and chat for a bit!”

Leaving this obvious hint, Lin Qingzhi dashed into the kitchen, leaving Wang Haoran speechless.

Why does it feel like Lin Qingzhi is forcefully shipping me with Chen Ranni?

She’s really insisting! I’m your boyfriend!

Wang Haoran understood Lin Qingzhi’s intent but didn’t plan to comply.

While getting cozy with others at Liu Yunshuang’s place, Wang Haoran noticed Chen Ranni’s favorability started dropping.

Initially, influenced by Lin Qingzhi, Liu Xinyao, and Lin Xiaowei’s openness, Wang Haoran almost didn’t catch on.

He was surprised but then realized this was a normal girl’s reaction!

No matter how much she liked him, seeing him flirt with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven people would naturally make her favorability drop!

By now, Chen Ranni’s favorability had dropped from 85 to 75.

And it was still dropping.

Although Wang Haoran felt a bit regretful, he decided to respect her feelings.

After all, the openness between female leads varies. Chen Ranni accepting being with Lin Qingzhi, Liu Yunshuang, and Liu Xinyao was already very tolerant.

Forcing her to accept more would be too much.

Wang Haoran didn’t want to hurt such a pure girl.

So, after politely saying, “Ranni, I’ll go help Qingzhi,” he went into the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

Lin Qingzhi was washing rice while eavesdropping on the outside.

Seeing Wang Haoran coming in, she panicked.

“What are you doing here? Go comfort Ranni! Can’t you see she’s sulking?”

“Let her sulk, what’s it to me? Here, let me help!”

“No! I can do it myself!”

Seeing Wang Haoran approach, Lin Qingzhi stopped him.

Back when Lin Qingzhi was in a wheelchair, although inconvenient, she could still cook with an electric rice cooker.

After recovering, inspired by Wang Haoran’s cooking, she took cooking seriously.

By now, her culinary skills almost matched Wang Haoran’s, who had the system’s help.

After setting the rice, Lin Qingzhi wiped her hands and pushed Wang Haoran.

“Go comfort Ranni! Weren’t you good at this before? Why so proper now?”

As Lin Qingzhi tried to send him back to Chen Ranni, Wang Haoran couldn’t help but ask,

“Qingzhi, why are you pushing me with her? I’m your man!”

“Hmph, how dare you say that? Didn’t I see how many were at Xinyao’s house?” (TLN : HAHAHAHAHAHA)

“If you were only mine, I wouldn’t involve Ranni! But you’re so flirtatious, with a bunch at home!”

“Since that’s the case, one more Ranni won’t matter, right?”

Lin Qingzhi sighed, feeling distressed.

“Let me tell you, Ranni is beautiful and introverted, from the countryside, pure as a fool.”

“Someone like her can easily be deceived by bad men, cheated on, and eventually discarded, still making excuses for the bad guy.”

“Ranni is so naive now, why aren’t you taking the chance?”

Lin Qingzhi pulled Wang Haoran out.

“…Where is she?!”

Seeing the empty shop, Lin Qingzhi quickly pulled out her phone to call.

Then she saw Chen Ranni’s message from three minutes ago.

“Qingzhi-jie, I have an urgent matter and left.”

“Not bothering you.”

“…”

Lin Qingzhi panicked.

“Go after Ranni! I’ve already accepted her as my sister!”

“…Qingzhi, it’s useless if you accept. Didn’t you see Ranni couldn’t handle it? I can’t give up on you all for her!”

Wang Haoran felt helpless.

It’s better to cut ties early. If she can’t accept such relationships, respecting her decision and ending it now is sensible!

Hearing Wang Haoran, Lin Qingzhi got more anxious.

“How do you know Ranni can’t handle it without trying?”

“She’s even more lovesick than me! If you coax her, she’ll agree!”

“I’ll help you too—”

“Hey, what are you doing!”

Lin Qingzhi, speaking earnestly, was startled.

Wang Haoran suddenly grabbed her shoulders firmly.

“Qingzhi, you’re my woman now, not Ranni, so I’m staying with you, not chasing her!”

“But…”

“No buts, it’s just us now, so stop thinking about others, got it?”

“I…”

“Close your eyes first!”

Lin Qingzhi couldn’t resist Wang Haoran’s firmness, yielding to his embrace.

They kissed.

Soon, she forgot about Chen Ranni, even forgetting about lunch.

Sitting on Wang Haoran’s lap, Lin Qingzhi pouted.

“You haven’t visited me for two days, you bad man!”

“Hug me more, kiss me more!”
