After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 101
The author has something to say: Tips for the front-row audience:
① This is the “What If” side story of Luo Lingsheng x Shi Yunnan [Shi Yunnan didn’t leave the country in a fit of anger after turning 18, and Luo Lingsheng didn’t encounter the dilemma of family struggle for power, so this is the basis for the extended extra! ]
② The opening timeline of this chapter is after the birthday party in Chapter 62, and the rest of the plot development has nothing to do with the content of the main story; please note the distinction. (Absolutely pure sweet story!)
③ In general, the personalities of the characters will not change, but the couple in this side story will have experienced much fewer hardships, so their age and character will be a little more lively than those at the beginning of the story.

Imperial Central Hospital.
Shi Yunnan stood stiffly in front of the door of the rescue room. His eyes were stinging from pain and dampness, but they remained fixed on the bright red characters “In Rescue.”
Soon, the argument from behind pulled his chaotic brain back to reality.
“I just held a birthday party for them yesterday, so do they really think they are grown up and can do whatever they want? How dare he behave so wildly when he’s not yet sober? He’s gotten so bold that even Dad is being tossed into the operating room!”
“If something happens to Dad this time, I’ll see what you can still do to protect him!”
Song Zhiqiu’s complaints and accusations poured into Shi Yunnan’s mind in a steady stream, like a sharp knife that wanted to cut his heart alive.
After paying the fee, Wen Yibei ran up immediately. While protecting Shi Yunnan’s shoulders to comfort him, he retorted in as gentle a tone as possible.
“Auntie, Yunnan is not such a person.”
“Grandpa is still in the operating room; let’s not get discouraged.”
“Zhiqiu, you say less, this matter is not yet settled,” their uncle, Wen Yanfeng, agreed, his eyes filled with worry.
Song Zhiqiu retorted, “Why is it not yet settled? If it wasn’t Shi Yunnan, could it be Xiao Lang’s doing?”
Wen Chenglang, who was being protected by her, immediately retorted, “Mom, it’s not me! Absolutely not me! Grandpa was pushed down by that white-eyed wolf, Shi Yunnan!”
Shi Yunnan clenched his hands hanging down on both sides into fists and turned around abruptly, staring directly at the real culprit who pushed old man Wen with suppressed anger.
“Wen Chenglang! You know it yourself! Who among us pushed Grandpa by mistake!”
Wen Chenglang looked away evasively and subconsciously asked his mother for help, “Mom, I really don’t dare; it was Shi Yunnan who pushed him. It’s obvious that he’s angry with Grandpa, who favors Yibei in every way.”
“I didn’t!”
Shi Yunnan squeezed out a rebuttal between his teeth; his chest heaved violently, and it took him a while to repeat, “…I really didn’t.”
Wen Yanfeng didn’t rush to make a statement, but set his eyes on the two “participants” one by one.
Although Shi Yunnan didn’t grow up in the Wen family, as his elder, he naturally understood this child’s conduct. The other party would definitely not do such a thing as intentionally pushing the old man to the ground.
Now, Shi Yunnan’s worry was real, but his own son had been pushing “responsibility” on the former since the accident, and he still showed a guilty look from time to time.
Today’s conflict was obviously produced by the two, but Wen Chenglang accidentally pushed down the old man who went to break the fight, and now he was afraid of serious consequences and didn’t dare to admit it.
Wen Yanfeng will not side with his own son in this matter.
He took the initiative to walk up and gather his nephew, who was about to cry, to his side, saying, “Yunan, uncle knows you wouldn’t do that.”
Shi Yunnan’s nose was sore, and he tried his best to hold back his tears.
He knew the difficulty of living under someone else’s roof, and old man Wen’s situation was unclear, so he didn’t dare to argue loudly with Wen Chenglang.
But no matter how sensible and discerning he was, he’s still just over eighteen years old—the age where he dislikes being “thrown under the bus” and “misunderstood” the most.
“Wen Yanfeng! Do you mean that your son lied? Is there any father who treats his own son like you?”
Song Zhiqiu, who was eager to protect her son, immediately rebuked him, and her eyes fell on Shi Yunnan’s face with vague disgust.
“You two brothers have a home to return to, but you didn’t. Since you stay in Wen’s house, you should know how to keep peace and quiet. How much have we spent on your food and clothing all these years…”
“Song Zhiqiu! Stop it!” Wen Yanfeng frowned and cut her off, saying, “The most urgent thing now is Dad’s treatment. When he wakes up, he will naturally know who is right and who is wrong!”
“Then I’ll see who dares to lie!”
When he said this, his scrutiny focused on his own son.
“…”
Wen Chenglang, with a guilty conscience, tugged on Song Zhiqiu secretly. He didn’t dare let his mother do anything.
Wen Yibei firmly held his younger brother’s wrist, pulled him to sit on a chair beside him, and waited, saying, “Don’t be afraid; brother will always trust you; grandpa will be fine.”
Shi Yunnan took a light breath and said, “Yes.”
…
The lights in the emergency room dimmed only when it got late. The medical staff came out to report the situation. As the head of the family, Wen Yanfeng immediately went through the hospitalization procedures according to the doctor’s instructions.
Shi Yunnan’s heart hanging in his throat fell back into place. He lowered his head and covered his face, firmly suppressing the inner fear that had lasted for several hours.
Although old man Wen was not pushed down by him, the cause of the matter was still the dispute between him and Wen Chenglang. Fortunately, the old man was saved; otherwise, he would have suffered internal condemnation for the rest of his life.
Song Zhiqiu took advantage of her husband’s absence to finally say what’s on her mind: “Yibei, since you two brothers have passed the age of eighteen, there are some truths that you should understand without me elaborating.”
“The Wen family has treated you well all these years. Yibei changed his surname to Wen, so he can still be considered a part of the family. As for people with foreign surnames,”
“—either go back to the Shi family or stay abroad and don’t come back to wreak havoc in our Wen family and bring down other good children.”
“Every time you come back to Wen’s house, you always cause trouble at home. I really don’t know what the Wen family owed you in the previous life?”
Song Zhiqiu spoke in a calm tone, but the calmer the words, the sharper they were.
“The old man is in intensive care now. Even if he gets better in the future, I hope you two brothers will be more modest.”
There’s no mother in the world who doesn’t understand her own children.
Song Zhiqiu naturally saw Wen Chenglang’s guilty conscience, but the matter had come to this point, and she still had to protect her children.
The implication in this last sentence was obvious. She asked Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan to understand their limits and stop getting entangled in this matter.
Soon, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground sounded.
After Wen Yibei confirmed that Song Zhiqiu had completely left, he turned his gaze back to comfort his younger brother, but Shi Yunnan, who was beside him, suddenly stood up.
“Brother, you can take care of Grandpa for me first; I’m a little bored, and I want to leave the hospital to get some air.”
He didn’t want to cause trouble for Wen Yibei, who was also dependent on others, but he felt very wrong and he really couldn’t take it anymore.
If he followed eagerly to the door of the intensive care unit now, he might have to accept some kind of cynicism.
“Yunnan…”
Wen Yibei stopped trying to catch up with him, stood still, and told him, “Yunnan, be careful!”
The matter has already happened, so one of the two brothers must stay in the hospital to look after old man Wen. Moreover, Shi Yunnan really needed to go somewhere to ease his grievances.
…
Five p.m.
Luo Lingsheng left the company on time, but was stopped by his friend Yu Shuo just as he got in the car.
“I didn’t get to enjoy the drink at the Wen family’s birthday party yesterday, so why don’t you accompany me to the bar for a drink? It’s not easy to finally conclude such a big project.”
Yu Shuo knocked on the car window and invited him with a smile.
Luo Lingsheng rolled down the car window; his steady eyes didn’t show an ounce of emotion, “I’m not going.”
Luo Lingsheng wasn’t a fan of the drinking culture. Except for necessary banquets and social intercourse, he seldom drank alcohol on normal occasions, let alone going to places like bars and nightclubs.
Yu Shuo sighed reluctantly after getting the expected answer: “Okay, being friends with you is so boring.”
Luo Lingsheng had long been used to hearing this complaint, so he smiled and said nothing. He then started the car and went home on his own.
Luo Lingsheng moved out to live alone a long time ago and was very disciplined in his daily routine.
When he returned home, he simply took care of dinner and sat down in his study to specify and follow up on the new company project at hand.
Suddenly, two message notifications came from the mobile phone on the table.
Luo Lingsheng’s thoughts were slightly distracted from his work, and he glanced at the lit phone screen.
It’s already nine o’clock?
Luo Lingsheng rubbed his swollen temples, temporarily put down the work at hand, and slowly checked the messages from his friend Yu Shuo.
—Lingsheng, are you really not coming? This new bar has a nice vibe.
Luo Lingsheng replied: “I really don’t want to go; you can find someone else to drink with.”
The moment the text message was just sent out, Yu Shuo’s new message came in—okay, guess who I met in the bar?
Luo Lingsheng frowned slightly when he saw the endless words: “I don’t know, who is it?”
“Shi Yunnan, the second young master of the Shi family that we met at the banquet yesterday, do you have any impressions?”
When Luo Lingsheng saw the message that popped in, a drunken figure crying and acting coquettishly at him immediately appeared in his mind, along with that drunken nonsense with a little bit of arrogance and cuteness.
The phone continued to vibrate, and Yu Shuo’s message came again.
—I don’t know what happened to him. I think he’s alone at the moment and is about to get drunk in the bar. Some people are already eyeing him. Why is this kid so defenseless?
“…”
When Luo Lingsheng saw this line of words, his eyes slightly froze.
Most of the people in the bar are reckless drinkers. Shi Yunnan’s age and appearance were there. If he was as soft as when he was drunk yesterday, it’s not certain what would happen.
When Luo Lingsheng thought of this, he sent a message back to his friend like a ghost: “Give me the address of the bar, and keep an eye on him.”
Yu Shuo responded to the message very quickly, with unprecedented surprise in just a few words: What? You want to come over?
Luo Lingsheng did not reply to his friend’s follow-up questions. After confirming the address of the bar, he picked up the car keys and went out.
…
Imperial Capital’s downtown area
The newly opened bar had always been a favorite place for drinkers to explore new things, and the dance floor was full of young men and women writhing indulgently.
Shi Yunnan propped himself up in front of the bar counter with one hand, tapping his fingertips on the glass that was glowing with alcohol without rhythm; his eyes were blurred, obviously very drunk.
Suddenly, someone put their arm around his shoulders and said, in a slightly greasy tone, “Little handsome guy, why are you sitting here drinking alone?”
The salty pig’s hand that fell on his shoulder rubbed it deliberately and seemed to want to probe down along his back.
Shi Yunnan squinted and refused coldly, “Who told you to touch me?”
“What a temper. How boring is it to drink alone at a bar? I’ve been watching you for a long time; you should be an adult, right? Do you want to drink with me?”
The other party’s appearance was a bit fat; his cheeks and neck were already stained by alcohol; his eyes were squinting lustfully when looking at Shi Yunnan; and the smell of alcohol almost clogged his nose.
Shi Yunnan had stayed abroad all year, surrounded by playful friends. He picked up on the hints from the other party’s words, and the combination of disgust and alcohol almost caused him to vomit on the spot.
Shi Yunnan picked up the wine glass and got off the high chair, exited the range of this man, and verbally stabbed him mercilessly.
“How dare you come out to flirt with others when you look like this? Even pigs look better than you. Ptooey! you get as far away from me as possible.”
Hearing this taunt, the greasy man’s cheeks quickly turned red. He reached out to Shi Yunnan and said, “I’m going to take you with me. You are also…”
Shi Yunnan was already in a bad mood, but this person still bumped into him recklessly. In the next second, the wine glass in his hand smashed onto the other party’s head.
– Bang!
“Can’t you understand human language? I told you to get lost!”
The sharp corner of the six-edged wine glass easily smashed the greasy man’s forehead, spilling all the liquor inside, and the wine glass also fell into countless pieces on the ground.
“Hiss, ahhhh!”
The scrape on his forehead soaked into the liquor, and the greasy man soon made a painful sound.
Shi Yunnan, seeing his miserable state, drunkenly kicked the high chair in front of him, blocking the path between the two of them.
“…Scram and don’t hang around in front of me. It’s disgusting.”
After saying this, he turned around and walked outside with a slightly unsteady pace.
After walking about three or four steps, the greasy man suddenly screamed angrily from behind him. Before Shi Yunnan could turn his head to respond, he was caught off guard and pulled into a warm embrace.
His head was pressed against a broad chest, and unlike the disgusting smell of alcohol before, the light aroma quickly occupied his nose, causing Shi Yunnan to suddenly feel dizzy and drowsy.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from behind, followed by even more miserable screams.
The greasy man fell into the shattered wine glass just now. It was unknown where he was injured, but his face was distorted in pain.
Luo Lingsheng protected Shi Yunnan in front of him with one hand, but his eyes fell on his friend on the opposite side—the greasy man was kicked to the ground by Yu Shuo.
Seeing Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan’s posture, Yu Shuo’s bright peach blossom eyes quickly showed a teasing light: “Tsk, what’s going on here?”
Yesterday you were still reluctant to go to the Wen family birthday party, but why did you suddenly hug him the next day?
“…”
Luo Lingsheng’s mood was a bit complicated when facing Yu Shuo, who was teasing him.
On the way to the bar by car, he felt more than once that he was too impulsive, but every time he thought about turning around and going home, he felt inexplicably reluctant to let go.
Later, Luo Lingsheng gave himself an excuse: He’ll just think of it as coming here to have a couple of drinks with his good friend. As long as Shi Yunnan doesn’t have an accident, he can still be a stranger who minds his own business.
But Luo Lingsheng didn’t expect that as soon as he entered the bar, he saw Shi Yunnan being maliciously pestered by someone.
…
The greasy man who fell on the ground was stopped by the pain, and with it came more anger as he rose from the ground, dazed and aimless, yelling, “Who the hell! Who the hell kicked me!”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t like to be in contact with these kind people in the first place and immediately sold out his friend, saying, “Yu Shuo, you take care of the person you kicked. I’ll take him away first.”
“…”
Yu Shuo felt speechless for the first time in his life. Did the sun come out from the west today? It’s too obvious that you chose h*es before bros.
Shi Yunnan, who was leaning in his arms, heard the greasy man’s noise and slowly retorted back, “Good kick! If I had to, I would kick you to death too!”
As he spoke, he was about to turn around and kick indiscriminately.
Seeing Shi Yunnan’s reckless look, Luo Lingsheng grabbed his wrist and said, “Alright, come with me!”
Shi Yunnan felt the pull on his wrist, and what little attention he had left was quickly moved back, “You let go of me! Who are you?”
He subconsciously thought someone was looking for trouble, and only halfway through his impatient words did he end up raising his head and meeting Luo Lingsheng’s eyes.
And that face was particularly attractive in the dim light of the bar.
“I don’t…” Shi Yunnan suddenly stopped his words of resistance, remained still, and became more obedient than a rabbit.
Luo Lingsheng could naturally see through the changes in his body, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes. He asked back with a half-smile, “You don’t what?”
Shi Yunnan blinked his eyes, as if to confirm the appearance of the person in front of him. He hiccuped a little, followed the trend of his heart, and changed his answer—
“I, it’s nothing.”
