Chapter 21 Lin Ran~ This Is My First Kiss~

A stunning beauty suddenly appeared at home, claiming to be his son's girlfriend. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lin were completely baffled.

"Girlfriend? Son, weren't you single? Didn't you say last night you hadn't won over that girl yet?"

"Dad, Mom, Vivian and I—"

Just as Lin Ran was about to explain, Vivian stepped forward and pushed Lin Ran gently behind her. She shot him a look—step back, let your sister handle this!

Vivian strode forward with confidence to face the stunned Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

"Uncle, Auntie, it’s true that we weren’t a couple before, but now... we are."

"???"

Mr. and Mrs. Lin were at a loss—suddenly they were a couple? Was this for real?

Well, if words couldn’t make it clear, actions would have to do. Vivian spun around, her long, straight black hair flowing behind her. She took a bold step toward the 'nervously trembling' Lin Ran.

On tiptoe, her soft red lips pressed firmly against Lin Ran’s, kissing him in front of his parents.

Right in front of them—she just went for it!

Mr. Lin awkwardly turned his back. Mrs. Lin was left staring, utterly stunned.

There was no doubt—this was indeed their son's girlfriend.

Lin Ran’s eyes went wide as saucers.

Vivian had always left him with the impression she was timid—yet now she was so bold, confidently introducing herself as his girlfriend, even cornering him for a kiss? Her shyness was a sign of caution in matters of the heart. But her boldness now stemmed from what she had said the night before—tonight would be different.

Last night was over. Now Lin Ran was her boyfriend.

And since he was, she had to dote on him. She couldn’t let her boyfriend face his parents’ interrogation alone. The girlfriend would step in and end it all!

A moment later, Vivian’s lips left Lin Ran’s, her beautiful eyes lifting.

"Lin Ran, that was my first kiss."

With that, she turned again to face his parents.

"Uncle, Auntie, there was a heavy rain and thunderstorm last night. My best friend didn’t come home, I was afraid of the thunder, so I brought Baibai here and asked your son—my boyfriend—to keep me company."

A girlfriend afraid of thunder, seeking her boyfriend for comfort—entirely reasonable!

Everything now made sense.

Mr. Lin: "Are you done kissing?"

Mrs. Lin: "You can turn around now."

Only then did Mr. Lin face them again, ready to give his son a big thumbs up.

Impressive!

His son really was something else—he’d found himself a girlfriend with such a remarkable character!

Mrs. Lin smiled warmly. "Xiao Jian."

"Just call me Vivian, Auntie. It sounds more affectionate."

She certainly knew how to close the distance.

"Vivian—what a lovely name, and you’re even lovelier in person."

Mrs. Lin beamed, taking Vivian’s hand and peppering her with questions.

"Vivian, are you classmates?"

"No, I attend Sichuan Conservatory of Music."

"That’s a wonderful school—lots of stars have come out of there. Where is your family from?"

"Jianyang."

"Jianyang lamb soup!"

"Mmm, next time I go home, I’ll bring some back for you to try."

"Wonderful, just wonderful!"

Mrs. Lin’s smile was so wide it nearly split her face.

Her son’s girlfriend was poised and gracious, completely winning her over.

"We’ve been chatting so long, I almost forgot you haven’t had breakfast. Lin Jiancheng, go buy some breakfast."

"Uncle, Auntie, you’re too kind, but there’s no need. I’ll just go downstairs and eat later."

Vivian smiled politely.

"Uncle, Auntie, I should really stay and spend more time with you, but I just got a call from the company asking me to complete my onboarding. I’m afraid I’ll have to excuse myself."

Mrs. Lin replied, "It’s quite alright—starting a new job is important. You’re welcome any time."

"Thank you, I’ll go change clothes now."

She gathered her dress from the balcony and went back to the room with Lin Ran.

Whew—

Vivian collapsed on the bed. All the bravado from earlier melted away in an instant.

"Lin Ran, my legs are still shaking."

Lin Ran gave her a thumbs up. "You were incredible—my idol!"

"We were already caught—how could I embarrass you?"

Vivian lay on the bed, Lin Ran climbing on top of her legs.

"You didn’t embarrass me at all. You were perfect—flawless."

"Don’t sit on me," Vivian protested, pushing him aside.

"Go out for a moment, I need to change."

"But you’re my girlfriend now—can’t I watch?"

"What’s there to see? You spent all night touching me, wasn’t that enough?"

Just thinking about last night—even though nothing truly happened, he had touched her everywhere.

Every inch of her body still seemed to hold the memory of his touch.

Especially in certain places...

Vivian blushed deeply at the thought.

"Alright, I’ll go."

Lin Ran left the room, only to face another round of parental questioning.

"Son, you’ve got some taste—your girlfriend is gorgeous!"

"Of course! I don’t go looking for a girlfriend often, but when I do, she has to be the most beautiful."

No matter how boastful he sounded, there was no arguing—he really did have a goddess for a girlfriend.

Having a girlfriend as stunning and, more importantly, as poised and dignified as Vivian after confirming their relationship—what more could a boyfriend ask for?

A few moments later, the door opened and Vivian emerged, radiant in a white dress, tall and elegant—every bit the goddess.

"Uncle, Auntie, I’m going home to prepare my onboarding paperwork, so I’ll take my leave now."

"Wait a moment," Mrs. Lin said, going to her room and returning with a thick red envelope which she pressed into Vivian’s hand.

Vivian was startled. "Oh, I can’t possibly—"

"Take it, no refusing."

"Alright then."

Some traditions are indispensable—a son’s girlfriend visits the house for the first time, there must be a red envelope.

"Goodbye, Uncle and Auntie. Baibai, let’s go."

Baibai, elated, ran to Vivian’s side from where he’d been with the husky.

Lin Ran walked Vivian downstairs. As they strolled through the neighborhood, Vivian counted the money. "Lin Ran, there’s 6,600 in here."

Lin Ran laughed. "Come spend the night again, and you’ll get more."

Vivian stuck her tongue out playfully and handed the money to Lin Ran.

"Keep it, it’s for you," Lin Ran said.

"Fine." Vivian tucked the money into her bag, already planning to buy Lin Ran a gift with it—a token of their relationship.

At the neighborhood gate, the local ladies were gossiping as usual. Who knew who had fallen from grace this time?

Just then, they saw Lin Ran, walking his dog with a beautiful girl by his side, chatting and laughing as they passed.

"Isn’t that Lin Ran?"

"Looks like him."

"He’s got a girlfriend now? Even brought her home for the night?"

"Spending the night doesn’t necessarily mean she’s his girlfriend."

Aunt Wang, still holding a grudge over what Lin Ran had said about her son and his boyfriend, steered the group toward making insinuations about his character.

Vivian overheard their words.

She stopped and turned around.

"Spending the night at someone’s house doesn’t necessarily mean you’re their girlfriend, but if I spend the night at someone’s house, it’s definitely my boyfriend’s!"

No need for more words—one sentence was enough to shatter all rumors.

Aunt Wang was left with nothing to say.

"Let me remind you, so that once I’ve left, you can’t spread rumors behind my back without even knowing my name—it’s Vivian Jian."

Vivian: a scourge to neighborhood busybodies!

Unable to win the argument, Aunt Wang slunk away.

Lin Ran was secretly in awe—Vivian was truly formidable, leaving Aunt Wang speechless.

"I’m off to prepare my onboarding paperwork. Mua~"

Vivian tiptoed up to kiss Lin Ran on the cheek, then, holding Baibai’s leash, walked off with a happy spring in her step. Having a boyfriend made her stride all the more confident.

As Lin Ran watched Vivian’s retreating figure, she became more and more captivating with every glance.

Lin Ran checked his account—another 6,000 had been credited.

Six thousand a day, that’s 180,000 a month.

Life was looking brighter by the day.

With money, even his temper had smoothed out.

This world didn’t seem so bad after all.

Money really could heal everything.
