Seeing that Su Ruochu was still a bit shy and awkward, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile and reassure her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, you should understand Auntie. Think about it, she only has this one daughter that she raised plump and healthy. And then I came along and took her away. Tell me, who wouldn't be unhappy about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu glared at Chen Fan, \"What nonsense are you saying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just... afraid you won't be happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan laughed, \"Why wouldn't I be happy? Auntie eventually agreed for us to date, didn't she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that's only because she... she agreed after hearing you have money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head helplessly, holding Su Ruochu's little hand seriously, \"Although the process was a bit convoluted, the result is good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me ask you, now that your parents have agreed for us to date, we can openly go on dates in the future. Aren't you happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu nodded shyly, her face red. \"Mmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There you go. Since the result is good, why bother thinking about other things that will just make you unhappy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I just feel uncomfortable, afraid that you'll also be unhappy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this girl being so cautious, Chen Fan reached out and gently pinched her nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silly girl, you're a fairy, untainted by the mundane world's smoke and fire, but I'm not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have a kind of spiritual obsession with purity. But the world doesn't have that many ideal situations, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, I don't think Auntie behaved that badly. She's just concerned about you. If it were me, I wouldn't feel comfortable giving my daughter to some rural bumpkin either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan grinned, \"No matter how Auntie acted today, as long as she agrees for us to be together, even if she made me kneel and flatter her, I wouldn't have any objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To get your parents' approval on the first meeting, there's nothing smoother than that. I'm absolutely overjoyed right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu glanced at Chen Fan and turned to walk ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. So you're the good guy, and I'm the bad person now, is that it? You go ahead and flatter them then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and caught up, holding Su Ruochu's hand again. He noticed the corners of her mouth were slightly curved up, clearly in a good mood too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Figured it out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu leaned shyly into Chen Fan's embrace, lightly punching his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought today's meeting would have a lot of unexpected situations, that my parents might even kick you out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I couldn't sleep well last night, constantly worrying about this and that... even worrying that you'd argue with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected you to handle it so well... that my parents would actually agree for us to date in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Fan, I'm really happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chen Fan could finish, Su Ruochu suddenly broke free from his embrace and bounced over to the parked car ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the car, Su Ruochu suddenly turned around, her expression shy yet determined as she called out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've decided. I'll drive you home today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was puzzled, \"Drive me home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu lowered her head to explain, \"You drank alcohol. You can't drive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was confused, \"There probably aren't any traffic police in the county town, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu shook her head, \"It's not about being caught or not. Drinking and driving is unsafe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"I'm fine, my driving skills are great. And it was just a little alcohol, not that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Ruochu's expression narrow slightly, Chen Fan quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, can you drive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu nodded, \"I've known how for a while, I just got my license last year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last year...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last summer vacation when you were busy in Yunhai, I was bored at home by myself, so I went and got my driver's license...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head helplessly. How did I not know about this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu arched an eyebrow proudly, \"I can't let you know all my secrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then stretched out her hand: \"Give me the car keys. This car is the same as my dad's, they're both Audi A6. I can drive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan scratched his head, \"Is that really necessary? When does a girl ever drive a guy home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if you drive me home, I'll have to drive you back again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, Chen Fan suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Su Ruochu's blushing, fidgeting manner, he suddenly understood something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... when you said drive me home earlier, you didn't mean you were planning to come to my home too, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu's face turned even redder as she shyly turned her head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind if you don't want to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do want to, of course I want to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan's expression lit up with delight as he suddenly rushed over and opened the car door, stuffing the keys into Su Ruochu's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they drove out of the neighborhood, Su Ruochu said softly with a red face, \"I don't know the way, you'll have to give me directions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and I... I'll just drop you off at your door. I'm not going inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and stared at her, \"Really not going inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu's face flushed even hotter under his gaze. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally couldn't help but ask in a small voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would it... be too impulsive for me to just show up like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not,\" Chen Fan shook his head with a smile. \"Actually, my parents have been wanting to meet you for a while now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Su Ruochu's eyes lit up, clearly quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it's true. I showed them your photos before, and my mom took one look and fell for you right away, said you'd definitely make a good daughter-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Su Ruochu's mouth curved up slightly, showing she was in an excellent mood at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Chen Fan smiled teasingly, \"Showing up unannounced like this will probably give them quite a scare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu immediately grew nervous. \"Then... maybe we shouldn't do this after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled with a suggestion, \"Today is an important day for us. It's rare to have this opportunity, so why don't... you come inside and sit for a bit? Just think of it as getting acquainted. Sit for a little while, then I'll drive you back. How's that sound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu said softly with a red face, \"I'll listen to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan grinned, \"Then let's go sit at home for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu asked nervously, \"Should we... buy some gifts first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan laughed, able to tell Su Ruochu placed great importance on this first visit, afraid of leaving a bad impression on her future parents-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. Your presence is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really don't feel right about it, I'll buy a carton of milk and a carton of alcohol for you to bring once we reach the village store.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will that be okay? Or is it too simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, my parents don't care about that kind of thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu still seemed unsure as she turned to look at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you... want to call them first to let them know ahead of time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right, I almost forgot about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan took out his phone and dialed a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey mom... is dad home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to worry, it's all settled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They really agreed. How could they not agree to such a handsome young man like me, unless they're blind...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu reached over and pinched the outspoken person next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yeah mom, let me tell you something. Ruochu and I are walking back now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I drank some alcohol, so she insisted on driving to take me home...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course she's coming inside... Prepare what? Nothing needs preparing, she's just coming in to sit for a bit and get acquainted before leaving...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't I let you know ahead of time? This was a spur-of-the-moment decision...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to tidy up, the house is clean, what needs tidying...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to panic, why are you panicking? You're the mother-in-law, she should be the one feeling nervous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your son is so outstanding, loads of girls like him, she should be the anxious one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a certain person start running his mouth again, Su Ruochu reached over and pinched his arm hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, listening to Chen Fan chatting with the person on the other end of the phone, the corners of Su Ruochu's mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed her future mother-in-law was clearly more nervous than she was.\u003C\u002Fp>",1457,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","f1bdf62cbe216d65da508e1163c62b7e2ada0dbe15c40b642c8d4cb6a42c5591","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-86","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-388",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
