Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 93

Ronnie lifted his head up and remarked, as they were having their meal. "I've been informed about your family's situation. If I remember correctly, I heard that your brother is quite young and still in elementary school. It truly is a pity that your parents died an untimely death, and by circumstance, the heavy burden of raising your younger brother had befallen you.

If I'm completely being honest, I do feel for you, Miss Ji. And I sincerely want to be of help to you and your dear brother. I believe we came here with similar intents, for the sole purpose of finding a suitable partner to get married to. So, why don't we just stop beating around the bush and get right down to business? What do you say, Carla?

Carla, who was in the middle of eating, almost gagged on her food and was almost gasping for air. She took a sip of water to try to clear her throat and nodded in agreement.

"So we're seeing eye to eye on this, right? Okay, I'll promptly cut to the chase," Ronnie added, seeing her give a go signal. However, even he got a bit red-faced because of that, causing him to lower his head a little. "The conditions I have aren't unreasonable, are they? If you think it's worth giving 'us' a try, then I'm sure we can work on this together.

Regarding the matter with your brother, once we finally get married someday, of course, the two of us would be raising him together. In spite of that, there's something else I have in mind, and I need to make sure we're on the same page here.

The fact of the matter is, when your brother eventually decides to get married in the future, of course, we can help him out a little bit, but, for the most part, he should be able to learn how to depend on himself by then for where they'd be residing in along with their wedding expenses. You're with me on this and you feel the same way, right?"

Ronnie probed, adjusting his gaze and veering toward Carla through a pair of black frame glasses. It was amazing how he was able to think things through and peer that far in the future.

"Ahem, ahem," Carla forced a cough to clear her throat and then sternly replied, "Mr. Luo, don't you think you're contemplating a bit too far ahead? This is just our first date! And yet here you are, planning about our future."

Ronnie shook his head right then and there, then he quickly pulled his chair closer to Carla and began explaining to her seriously, "No, not at all! I beg to disagree." "Miss Ji, we're perfect for each other. It's like we were destined to be together. And, in time, we're gonna have kids after we get married at last! What do you say to that? My mom is fond of kids, so I was thinking maybe we should have at least two of them, with one being a boy. That being the case, if we also have to take care of your brother at the same time, wouldn't you think that to be too much of a burden?

And Miss Ji, please don't take this the wrong way,"

Ronnie just kept blabbering on, under the assumption that if these things weren't laid out clearly, then it could prove to be so problematic later on in their relationship.

"I mean, when the time comes that your brother would be big enough and capable of fending for his own while the two of us are so busy having a family, then taking care of him should be the least of our worries. I don't mind helping you out with the costs of raising your brother. That's fine with me. But when he finally starts making a living for himself, it's only fair that he should pay me back."
