As for whether it's fate or not, Su Ruan wasn't sure, but Lu Shinian definitely did it on purpose!
"The ancients also said that when coincidence and fate happen too often, it's deliberate."
Su Ruan made a quip, not expecting Lu Shinian's breath to hitch slightly. After carefully observing her expression, he paused for two seconds and then said, "Hmm, I've been plotting for Ruan Ruan for a long time."
Plotted for a long time, deeply rooted feelings.
Su Ruan didn't expect him to admit it just like that, she looked at him with some surprise.
"So this wasn't a chance meeting?" she asked, her tone still sounding quite gentle.
"It was a chance meeting." Lu Shinian's tone was calm, showing no sign of any mischief, "I came to inspect and happened to run into Ruan Ruan."
"This is heaven-given fate."
So he and Ruan Ruan were meant to be together.
Su Ruan: ...
"Does Ruan Ruan still want to go shopping? I can accompany Ruan Ruan." Lu Shinian subtly changed the topic.
