After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 106
Shi Yunnan slept all soft and comfortable, thanks to the long-awaited good sleep. He drooped his eyelids and stretched out habitually, but in the next second, his fingertips touched a hint of warmth.
He poked it, and it was a little prickly.
Shi Yunnan subconsciously raised his eyes and found that his fingers were “doing evil” on Luo Lingsheng’s chin.
Luo Lingsheng woke up at some point and stared at him with a deep gaze, asking, “Have you poked enough? You moved about a lot in your sleep.”
“…”
Shi Yunnan reacted slowly, and the base of his ears felt slightly warm.
He was curled up in Luo Lingsheng’s arms right now, as if he were forcibly using the other’s warm body as a pillow.
Shi Yunnan hurriedly moved aside, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the running air conditioner display, and then recalled what happened last night: “The circuit has been restored?”
“Yeah, it didn’t take long to recover.”
Luo Lingsheng told Shi Yunnan the truth and approached him again, saying, “But the person sleeping in my arms refused to wake up no matter how I shouted.”
“Shi Yunnan, are you determined to stay in my bed?”
They were so close that it seemed like they were going to exchange a good-morning kiss.
Shi Yunnan was stunned for two seconds, and his cheeks became hot, “You called me? I, why don’t I have any memories?”
Luo Lingsheng raised his eyebrows, and didn’t answer the question directly. He took the initiative to turn over and get up, saying, “Go wash up when you’ve had enough sleep and deal with the wound on your calf later.”
“Oh, okay.”
Shi Yunnan actually has the habit of staying in bed. Every day, after waking up, he has to lie on the bed for half an hour before actually getting up.
However, now lying on someone else’s big bed, Shi Yunnan really didn’t dare to be too presumptuous. By the time he finished washing, the breakfast that Luo Lingsheng had ordered had already been served.
Shi Yunnan was scooping up the seafood porridge, but his mind wasn’t on this delicious dish. His eyes secretly fell on Luo Lingsheng, who was opposite him.
He’s always been a light sleeper, especially in a blackout panic situation like last night, but he has to admit, he felt so good after falling asleep last night!
Although he hadn’t gotten to know Luo Lingsheng for that long, Shi Yunnan could feel a sense of “stability” from him time and time again.
Luo Lingsheng’s breath was slightly heated by the increasingly intense gaze from the opposite side, so he had to voice a reminder, “What are you looking at me for?”
Shi Yunnan didn’t conceal the fact that he was a face-con: “You look good.”
Luo Lingsheng stopped eating and said helplessly, “What are your plans for today?”
“I’m going to the bookstore to buy some supplementary study materials. I have to familiarize myself with the domestic curriculum; otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up when I start school in September.”
Shi Yunnan scooped up another spoonful of seafood porridge and said, “By the way, I’m looking for a summer part-time job.”
Although Wen Yibei wanted to provide him with living expenses, Shi Yunnan, as a peer, couldn’t possibly put all the financial pressure on his elder brother.
When he officially entered the senior year in the second half of the year, it was impossible for him to be distracted and find a part-time job on weekends. Instead of doing this, he might as well use the summer vacation time to study while saving some living expenses.
“…”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t speak.
He originally wanted to veto Shi Yunnan’s idea of a summer part-time job by offering to pay the living expenses first, but on second thought, he knew that Shi Yunnan had pride and self-esteem in his bones, and the other party had his own way of living.
He shouldn’t use his own thinking mode to bind and veto the other party’s plan.
“Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?” Luo Lingsheng changed the subject. He said that food and lodging are all included, so he can’t miss a meal.
“Hmm…” Shi Yunnan thought about it seriously: “I want to eat fish, the kind of fish with bones removed; can you make it for me?”
Luo Lingsheng fell silent again.
His cooking skills are not perfect; at most, he can only order simple dishes.
Originally, when asking this question, he just wanted to order takeout for dinner, but he didn’t expect Shi Yunan to come up and make the request with gusto.
Sensing the hesitation in Luo Lingsheng’s eyes, Shi Yunnan asked cautiously, “You don’t know how to do it? Then do whatever you want; I’m really not picky.”
Luo Lingsheng replied, “Got it; I’ll make it for you.”
“Make what?”
“Boiled fish fillet.”
Shi Yunnan kept his promise and finished the remaining seafood porridge with a smile.
fifteen minutes later.
Luo Lingsheng got into the car but did not drive in a hurry.
He opened the search engine on his mobile phone and carefully learned how to cook boiled fish filets. He only felt that tens of millions of orders were not more complicated than this matter.
—Can you do it for me?
Shi Yunnan’s eager eyes resurfaced in his mind.
Luo Lingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and finally put the webpage of the cooking steps into his favorites.
…
Shi Yunnan found a reliable part-time job with a high salary.
The boss was a returnee, and he had already made a lot of money in his early forties. Now he has opened a winery at the junction of Imperial Capital and the next-door city to pass the time. He was a laid-back boss who didn’t give a hoot about profit and loss.
Shi Yunnan’s work tasks are ridiculously simple. He’s responsible for the operation of the purchased web pages and the incoming and outgoing of various liquors in the winery within the Imperial Capital.
On top of that, there was plenty of time for him to spend on self-study courses.
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng’s daily lives are still the same; one is focused on career, the other on school, and the only two points of communication each day are breakfast and dinner.
Even so, Shi Yunnan felt the taste of “home” from such a simple life.
Time flies to the end of August.
The electronic welcome sound at the entrance of the store rang out.
“Brother Mo.”
When Shi Yunnan heard the voice of the clerk on the other side, he quickly stopped the pen in his hand and got up.
Brother Mo, the boss, searched for Shi Yunnan’s figure and approached, saying, “Xiao Shi, are you quitting at the end of the month?”
Shi Yunnan nodded and said, “Yes, tomorrow is my last day. School will start next Monday.”
Brother Mo gave a ‘tsk’ when he heard this and pulled him aside to discuss secretly, “Do you have time to represent our winery at a banquet this Saturday?”
Shi Yunnan was unsure, “Banquet?”
“Do you know the Luo family in the imperial capital?” The boss thought Shi Yunnan was just a hard-working kid and deliberately introduced him to the prestige of the Luo in the Imperial Capital’s gentry circle.
“…”
Shi Yunnan cleared his throat, “Brother Mo, what are you calling me for?”
“I’m friends with the person in charge of the Luo family’s banquet purchase, and on the basis of our family’s wine and connections, he selected our liquor as one of the banquet drinks.”
“We need to send a couple of people to transport wine and drinks and enter the field to keep an eye on the situation exclusively, so that we don’t make a mistake when the time comes.”
“I should have gone there myself, but my wife’s due date is in the next few days, and I really can’t spare the time. You look good and are a clever person—just right to represent the image of our winery.”
Brother Mo obviously valued Shi Yunnan very much and put his arm around his shoulders to discuss, “A banquet will last for three or four hours at most, so I will give you an extra salary of one thousand yuan, OK? Xiao Zhou has already agreed, so you two go together.”
The Luo family is rich and powerful, and Brother Mo has made five to six million yuan in net profit from this single business, so it is natural for him to pay his employees generously.
“Okay, thank you, Brother Mo, for giving me this opportunity.” Shi Yunnan readily agreed.
It’s not difficult to enter the venue and keep an eye on the wine. If there are guests at the banquet who like their wine, it’s easy to attract more customers.
Not only does it not delay the start of school, but he can also earn an extra amount for living expenses. Most importantly, since it was the Luo family’s banquet, surely Luo Lingsheng would also appear, right?
Brother Mo was very satisfied, “There are specific uniforms for the waiters at the banquet; tell me your size, and I’ll send someone to bring you a set tomorrow.”
“Ok.”
…
Luo’s banquet was held in the Luo family’s manor.
Shi Yunnan followed the car that delivered the wine, and it took nearly five or six minutes to drive from the entrance of the manor to the main ballroom.
“Hey, rich people are really something else. How many people can live in such a big manor?” The driver in charge of the transport couldn’t help but lament, “Xiao Shi, Xiao Zhou, you guys think so?”
“Yeah.”
Shi Yunnan responded, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Perhaps he would never have had the opportunity to enter this overly luxurious manor if it hadn’t been for this “working to make money” opportunity.
Compared with a century-old family like the Luo family, the Shi family can only be regarded as a small, wealthy family that made a fortune halfway. Besides, he was just an unfavored young master.
Although Luo Lingsheng usually lives in a low-key house, Shi Yunnan had heard early on that he was Elder Luo’s favorite young grandson.
All roads lead to Rome, and Luo Lingsheng was born in the very center of Rome.
In the past, he couldn’t sense their differences when they lived under the same roof, but after comparing them now, Shi Yunnan suddenly realized that their backgrounds were totally different.
“Xiao Shi, what are you thinking? We’re here.”
Master Song stopped the car and called back Shi Yunnan, who was in a daze.
Shi Yunnan tidied up his waiter’s attire, quickly adjusted his mood, and got out of the car.
…
The banquet started promptly at half past six in the evening.
Shi Yunnan was different from other waiters who were responsible for welcoming guests and serving wine; he only needed to stay peacefully by the side of the wine tower of his own brand.
The rumored old man Luo Baisheng was already ninety-four years old, but he was still hale and hearty, with dignified pressure all over his body.
Except for the children and grandchildren under his knees, the other guests who came here did not dare to approach and talk actively.
“No wonder people said that the old man likes Luo Lingsheng the most. They look too similar.” Shi Yunnan imagined what Luo Lingsheng would look like when he was old and covered the smile on his lips with his hand.
Shi Yunnan looked around the huge banquet hall again and again, and finally, halfway through the banquet, he saw the figure he was thinking about.
Luo Lingsheng was wearing a pure black formal suit, which was not an eye-catching color, but with his superior height and appearance, he suddenly stood out from the crowd and became the focus.
Luo Lingsheng’s family is all good-looking, and the elegance and dignity of their gestures are far beyond the reach of others.
In the banquet hall, not only Shi Yunnan was in high spirits, but the other young masters and young ladies also watched and admired him.
“I heard that Mrs. Luo intends to bring Luo Lingsheng and Chen’s daughter together.”
“Really? Who is the daughter of the Chen family?”
“Chen Keqing just graduated from Ridge University in the United States in June, and her age is just right for Luo Lingsheng… Luo and Chen have always had a good relationship. The parents intend to match-make them, so eight out ten it will work out.”
“That’s not necessarily true. There are many people who like Luo Lingsheng. If he doesn’t want to, who can force him?”
“In this marriage between wealthy families, liking comes second…”
…
Shi Yunnan heard the slight sound of discussion around him, and his mood gradually burst from the initial joy to a trace of complicated unconfidence.
A graduate of a prestigious university, the right age, the right family, the parents’ match.
Excessively realistic words were turning up in his mind.
At this moment, Shi Yunnan hoped that Luo Lingsheng would notice his presence, but he was also afraid that the other party would notice his presence.
The foot that took half a step out of impulsiveness was restrained and retracted in the end.
Suddenly, two rich young masters who were joking around with each other bumped into Shi Yunnan, and the wine in their hands was completely splashed on him.
The dark red wine immediately soaked through the white shirt, leaving stains that were difficult to clean in a short time.
“F*ck, do you have eyes?”
The wealthy young master in front of him shrugged off the liquor on the back of his hand in annoyance and cursed in a low voice as he was ready to attack.
Shi Yunnan suppressed the displeasure in his eyes, keeping his identity in mind, “Sorry, I…”
“Hey, wait a minute, you look familiar.”
The other party met Shi Yunnan’s face, thought for a few seconds, and smiled, “Second Young Master Shi, is it you?”
At the same time, Shi Yunnan recognized the other party. The person in front of him was the young master of the Wei Group. In the early years, the two met once at other banquets.
Compared with Shi Yunnan, Young Master Wei has a better relationship with his nominal brother, Xie Keyue.
After confirming Shi Yunnan’s identity, Young Master Wei immediately and sarcastically said, “Times can really change a lot of things. So you’ve fallen to the point where you have to wear waiters’ clothes now? Are you ashamed?”
Unmoved, Shi Yunnan picked up the wine glass on the ground, stuffed it into the recycling basket under the wine tower, and handed over a brand new glass of red wine, saying, “Young Master Wei, hold on to this new glass.”
Shi Yunnan is quite a measured person. Now is the time for him to work hard and earn money. The other party’s deliberate sarcasm couldn’t anger him, and his tone was neither overbearing nor humble as usual.
It’s a pity that the words fell on the ears of Young Master Wei as irony.
Young Master Wei knocked Shi Yunnan’s wine glass over and said, “Don’t use these low-end red wines to put me off; what good wine can you Shi Yunnan afford to sell?”
“You think all kinds of cats and dogs can come to this banquet?”
The red wine splashed on Shi Yunnan’s cheeks and chin and slipped into his clothes again.
Xiao Zhou, the waiter who came with Shi Yunnan, was dumbfounded. He wasn’t sure where this young master with so much malice came from.
Shi Yunnan gave a low laugh, his eyes were cold, “The red wine was purchased and selected by the Luo family, and we were also put in by the Luo family. If Young Master Wei is dissatisfied, why not ask Mr. Luo directly?”
“You…” got Young Master Wei stuck.
Shi Yunnan wiped the alcohol from his face and asked, “Do you need me to help you attract more guests’ attention?”
Young Master Wei’s face froze. The friend beside him sensed that something was wrong and immediately whispered, “Wei Lian, stop it; if it really draws the attention of the Luo family, we won’t be able to walk around with our parents.”
Young Master Wei knew that the timing and occasion were both wrong, but luckily Shi Yunnan had no real influence on him, so he could only leave with his friend wisely.
A small farce that happened in the corner quickly turned the page.
The waiter, Xiao Zhou, came up and immediately took out a clean, wet tissue and handed it to Shi Yunnan, “Xiao Shi, are you okay? These wealthy young masters have bad tempers, and if you don’t obey them, they will act wildly. Don’t be sad.”
Shi Yunnan took the wipes from his colleague and subconsciously looked at Luo Lingsheng.
At some point, Luo Lingsheng had a young, beautiful and elegant lady by his side. The other two should be the parents and elders of both parties, and they were toasting and talking about something.
“…”
Shi Yunnan has always been used to the cynicism and sarcasm of other young masters of the same age; the so-called “injustice” was simply a trivial matter for him that could be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
But the scene not far away really made him panic.
“Brother Zhou, I want to clean up first. Can you look at the wine tower first?”
“No problem.”
Shi Yunnan got permission from his colleagues and quickly left through the side hall door.
…
far away.
From the corner of his eye, Luo Lingsheng noticed the fleeting figure in the side hall, and the indescribable familiarity made him immediately put down his wine glass and prepare to chase after him.
“Lingsheng.” Mrs. Luo noticed her son’s change and pulled his wrist. “Where are you going?”
Luo Lingsheng gave a polite and distant smile to the Chen family and moved two steps to the side with Mrs. Luo, whispering, “Mom, I’m asking you to stop match-making me with others.”
Mrs. Luo dislikes forcing her son, but she does feel pity for him, “Why do you… ”
Luo Lingsheng simply said what was in his heart: “I have someone I like, and if there’s no accident, I might marry them in the future.”
Mrs. Luo was shocked by the sudden news—two or three months ago, he said he didn’t have anyone, but suddenly he said he had a favorite person and was thinking of getting married?
Before Mrs. Luo could inquire about the situation, Luo Lingsheng left decisively.
Regardless of whether that figure was his imagination or not, he was unwilling to stay here any longer, pretending to be perfunctory for the sake of the so-called wealthy etiquette.
Seeing Luo Lingsheng’s resolute back, Chen Keqing smiled calmly and said, “Mom and Dad, talk to Mrs. Luo slowly. I’ll go to the side rest area to sit for a while.”
Chen Keqing could already see that Luo Lingsheng was not interested in her, but she needed to be polite in front of both parents.
This is also good, so as not to waste each other’s time.
…
The shirt was thoroughly soiled.
Shi Yunnan didn’t clean up the dirty stains on his body, but went to the back kitchen to steal a decanter. Then, following the direction of Wei Lian’s departure, he found two people smoking in the open backyard of the main banquet hall.
Shi Yunnan clenched the neck of the decanter and quickly approached them.
Wei Lian, who was smoking, heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and suddenly received a baptism of a large amount of wine.
Shi Yunnan admired his wretched state, and smiled fearlessly, “Wei Lian, you splashed me once, and I kindly returned it once; now we’re even.”
Regardless of whether he was a waiter, the young master of the Shi family, or any other status, the other party has no right to act superior.
The first time Wei Lian accidentally spilled wine, he naturally needed to be patient during his work as a waiter, but the second time was obviously intentional.
Shi Yunnan didn’t want to have an outburst in the banquet hall, purely because he didn’t want to disturb the excitement of other people, and he didn’t want to let Luo Lingsheng, who was also present, see this farce.
In the years Shi Yunnan spent abroad, he has long formed a vengeful character.
Even if he can’t fight back today, he will accumulate the ability to fight back in the future. He is evil at heart and can’t repay a grudge with virtue.
Young Master Wei’s face was smeared with alcohol, and the custom-made suit was also dirty. He wiped his face indiscriminately and gritted his teeth, “Shi, Yun, Nan! Are you looking for death?”
Before the lingering sound fell, he raised his fist and tried to punch Shi Yunnan.
Shi Yunnan had expected that the other party would not be reconciled, so he quickly knocked Young Master Wei on the head with the decanter still in his hand.
“–Ahhh!”
In response, the other party fell backward on all fours.
Seeing this, Young Master Wei’s friend immediately joined the battle.
Shi Yunnan was already suffocating in his heart, so when he made a move, he became ruthless. He was one against two, but he was not at a disadvantage, until he almost beat the two of them to the point of crying.
“What are you doing? Is the Luo family a battlefield?”
An overly familiar voice with displeasure rang out, causing Shi Yunnan and Wei Lian to stop at the same time.
“…”
Shi Yunnan didn’t expect Luo Lingsheng to appear suddenly and quickly let go. He glanced at his own excessively dirty waiter clothes and suddenly felt inferior for no reason.
“Come here.”
Luo Lingsheng’s gaze was aimed at Shi Yunnan impartially, feeling distressed and helpless —the other party’s face still had remnants of liquor on, dirty and cute, like a little stray cat that got lost at some point.
Shi Yunnan finally could not resist the pressure of Luo Lingsheng’s gaze and walked up. He looked at Luo Lingsheng in front of him, feeling inexplicably wronged but wanted to be brave.
see that?
Other people are eating and drinking in the banquet hall in their finery, and he’s here beating people up in his messy waiter’s uniform.
The Shi family did not want him, the young men of his age laughed at him, and Shi Yunnan felt like he wasn’t good enough for Luo Lingsheng, no matter where.
The atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense.
Wei Lian and his friend finally got rid of Shi Yunnan’s restraint and got up together.
This guy, Shi Yunnan, beat people too hard!
It’s a shame that both of them can’t beat him! How long did it take? The two of them were beaten so badly that they hurt all over!
Wei Lian covered the corner of his bleeding mouth, feeling aggrieved.
Although he was afraid of Luo Lingsheng’s identity, he felt he had more right to speak than Shi Yunnan, “Young Master Luo, this waiter…”
Unexpectedly, there was no time to express the grievance.
Luo Lingsheng suddenly pulled Shi Yunnan into his protection range. He was oblivious to Shi Yunnan’s “ferocious beating” just now, and his tone was as gentle as coaxing his beloved baby—
“Did the two of them bully you? Where does it hurt?”
