"Of course it's true." Xiao Song said with a smile as he folded the paper and placed it on the table, "Let's go."
Ran Yan hesitated for a moment but still got up to follow him.
Xiao Song said to Ran Yunsheng, "I have an important matter and would like to ask your sister to accompany me on a short trip. We will return in two hours. May we?"
Ran Yunsheng frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Ran Yan and Mr. Sui Yuan have a verbal engagement, and although Mr. Sui Yuan has not yet formally come to propose, doing this now is ultimately not quite proper."
Nowadays, it was common for young men and women to meet privately, and social customs had become more open. Men and women mingling together for leisure was not unusual. Under normal circumstances, although Xiao Song's request was abrupt, it would not be too outrageous, especially since it was for "important matters."
