Not another word was spoken the rest of the way.
Ou Lan had been clenching her little face tightly all along, and despite Zhan Cirui's several attempts to start a conversation, she wouldn't even look at him, so eventually, he tactfully gave up on making small talk.
Afterward, he just quietly looked at the scenery passing by. Every now and then, he'd turn to stare at her profile until she exploded, "If you look at me again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs!"
Even when yelled at loudly, he didn't get angry; he just smiled and turned his gaze back out of the car window.
It wasn't until they were outside Ailan Castle's gate that he spoke again, "Lanlan, if you hadn't been married off to the Zhan Family by elder brother using grandfather's marriage arrangement as an excuse, what kind of boyfriend would you want to find?"
Ou Lan gave him a sideways glance and corrected him seriously, "You should call me Eldest Sister-in-law."
