After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 48
Yuan Meng’s vigilance instantly rose. He took half a step forward and stretched out his hand to block the person approaching Luo Lingsheng, “Please wait.”
The other party’s appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, but the slightly raised peach blossom eyes that were as bright as stars were particularly charming.
Different from the costumes of other nightclub-goers, his simple clothes highlighted his tall and straight figure, making him appear relaxed and casual.
Perhaps it was the simple, nonchalant greeting that made Yuan Meng block him. As soon as the visitor stooped down to take his seat, his slanted gaze was like an awl that drilled into people’s hearts. Immediately, the atmosphere was filled with “danger.”
“Lingsheng, isn’t your bodyguard being too vigilant?”
The inquiry mixed with laughter was actually a nakedly unpleasant warning to Yuan Mang.
Yuan Meng, who followed Luo Lingsheng and met numerous people, immediately noticed the sudden change in the aura and was secretly shocked—this person’s aura was comparable to that of the patriarch!
However, Luo Lingsheng’s cold aura was released outside, while this person’s cold aura was hidden inside.
“…..”
Yuan Meng subconsciously shifted his gaze to his boss.
Luo Lingsheng glanced back at him and said calmly, “It’s okay. He’s indeed an old friend.“
When the visitor heard this, he showed a satisfied smile. He slightly turned away from Yuan Meng’s blocking hand and calmly sat diagonally opposite Luo Lingsheng.
His eyes lingered on Luo Lingsheng’s legs, but his mouth was introducing himself to Yuan Meng, “My surname is Yu, and my name is single character Shuo. I’ve been a classmate of your family patriarch since childhood…”
Yu Shuo paused, then asked Luo Lingsheng, “Is it okay to introduce myself like this?”
Although Yuan Meng was a veteran, he had been influenced by Luo Lingsheng and Qin Jian in the past few years, and he also had a certain understanding of the wealthy conglomerates in the country.
Hearing the surname, a guess suddenly appeared in his heart.
—There is the Luo family in the north and the Yu family in the south.
Both clans were rich and powerful families with a foundation of hundreds of years, one in the north and one in the south, influencing the division of rich families and some economic trends in the two regions.
Luo Lingsheng was now in charge of the Luo family, while Yu Ruyin was in charge of the Yu family.
Luo Lingsheng’s social circle from childhood to adulthood was inseparable from these people in the wealthy families. Since he could call the patriarch an “old classmate,” could he be one of the Yu family’s young masters?
Luo Lingsheng didn’t know what his bodyguard was thinking. He raised his wine glass without denying it, “When did you return to the country? Why didn’t you tell me?“
Yu Shuo beckoned the waiter and bought himself a glass of strong-colored whiskey, smiling and gesturing, “You are now the head of the Luo family. How can your status still compare to when you were in school? I can’t find you without making an appointment six months in advance?”
Luo Lingsheng’s thin lips were lifted slightly, “I haven’t seen you for four years. If you want to meet me, you can come to me directly.“
“Yeah, we haven’t seen each other for four years.” Yu Shuo lamented and clinked glasses with him. His eyes fell on his legs again, and he frowned slightly, “What about that?”
“Not sure.”
For the first time, Luo Lingsheng calmly accepted the question about his leg from an outsider, “If it doesn’t work out, it will be like this for the rest of my life.”
However, as long as Shi Yunnan doesn’t mind, he can slowly accept his imperfect self.
Yu Shuo’s eyes were flooded with dark light for a while. He deliberately narrowed the distance with Luo Lingsheng and took the initiative to raise his glass again, “The things that have happened to the Yu family in the past three or four years are nothing compared to your Luo family.”
“I was ‘thrown’ abroad by my dad and my brother to be a backup force, and I’ve really got my hands full…“
Once you get busy, you really don’t care about so-called interpersonal communication.
Luo Lingsheng heard the explanation in his words and replied, “I know.”
Yu Shuo’s grandfather, old mister Yu, had a very chaotic lifestyle during his lifetime, and after his death, he left behind a big awful mess. The whole family’s struggle for power was equally troubling.
Yu Shuo’s father, Yu Ruyin, had once sought Luo Lingsheng’s help, but Luo Lingsheng had not been able to fully secure his position as the head of the family, so he refused.
A slight movement might affect the situation as a whole, so Luo Lingsheng deliberately avoided them.
Luo Lingsheng’s refusal indirectly affected the development of some events. As a result, the relationship between him and Yu Shuo also fluctuated.
But they were all adults. After three or four years of calm, the unpleasantness of the past will naturally dissipate.
Luo Lingsheng asked, “How long will you stay this time?”
“I don’t plan to leave, but I have to go back to the south the day after tomorrow.” Yu Shuo replied.
Perhaps because their appearance and aura were too outstanding and the clothes on their bodies were low-key but extravagant, as they were chatting, two scantily clad young women came up to them trying to strike up a conversation.
But before Luo Lingsheng could speak, Yuan Meng, who was standing at the back, arrived in time and sent the two young and beautiful women away with a straight face.
When Yu Shuo saw this scene, he couldn’t help laughing, “Say, Luo Lingsheng, who came to the nightclub with a bodyguard like you? How many good opportunities have you missed to “spend a good night” with others?“
Luo Lingsheng glanced at him and asked back, “You think I’m going to mess around outside?”
Before the leg injury, he always had enough self-control. Even after the leg injury, he never used his status to fool around.
Luo Lingsheng and Yuan Meng didn’t take Yu Shuo’s joke seriously. But if Shi Yunnan heard it, it was unknown whether he was as jealous as the last time.
“After not seeing each other for four years, are you still single? Haven’t you been looking for someone?“
Yu Shuo looked at his former friend as if he was looking at an antique, with a hint of complexity and disbelief, and said, “Lingsheng, you won’t still like that…”
“I’ve already got a marriage certificate.” Yu Shuo was interrupted by Luo Lingsheng, who threw the facts in front of him.
“…..”
Yu Shuo really showed an uncontrollably shocked expression.
He paused for a few seconds before approaching Luo Lingsheng’s shoulder as usual, “Get the certificate? With whom? Haven’t you always liked…“
Suddenly, a light voice rang out from the right, “The person who got a license with him is me. Do you have any questions?”
The two people sitting on the deck turned their attention to the owner of the voice.
Seeing Shi Yunnan, Luo Lingsheng unconsciously released a smile, saying, “You’re done with Yuan Rui and the others?”
“I left him in Fu Ziyu’s care.”
Shi Yunnan said, staring at Yu Shuo’s hand that hooked Luo Lingsheng’s shoulder for a moment, as if he could burn a hole in the back of the other party’s hand.
Who is this person?
How could Luo Lingsheng let the other party get so close?
When he just approached, he vaguely heard the two of them saying something like, “You always liked” or whatnot. Could it be that they were discussing Luo Lingsheng’s white moonlight?
If he had known, he should have waited a second or two longer before interrupting, to see what that stranger was going to say.
Yu Shuo naturally noticed Shi Yunnan’s “unhappy” possessiveness, so he put his hand down, “My name is Yu Shuo, an old friend of Luo Lingsheng. Hello…”
Yu Shuo paused, then stood up to greet him, “Second Young Master Shi?”
Shi Yunnan asked back, “You know me?”
“I’m fortunate enough to have met you once, but it’s normal that you don’t have an impression of me.“
Yu Shuo glanced at Luo Lingsheng briefly and lowered his eyelids while showing a subtle realization, “Lingsheng, we have known each other for almost 20 years, but you didn’t even inform me when you found someone? You’re really something.“
The emphasis in the last half of the paragraph was particularly obvious.
Luo Lingsheng pretended not to hear his deep meaning, and only replied, “We haven’t had the wedding yet. If you are willing to come, we’ll send you an invitation in the future.“
The relationship between him and Shi Yunnan began with an agreement. Later, the news of their “obtaining a marriage certificate” was made public through Zhao’s business exchange meeting, so the wedding ceremony and banquet were delayed even more.
Last month, after the two confirmed their relationship, it’s not like Luo Lingsheng hadn’t thought about holding a wedding.
First, he was afraid that the right time hadn’t yet come. Second, he himself had some extravagant hopes—
Luo Lingsheng hoped that one day he could walk on his own. At that time, he could make up for his proposal to Shi Yunnan and be able to walk hand in hand with his lover through the wedding and for the rest of his life.
Shi Yunnan’s attention wasn’t on Luo Lingsheng’s “wedding,” but on Yu Shuo’s “relationship for nearly 20 years,” “Have you known each other for that long?”
“From elementary school to college to graduation.”
Yu Shuo smiled and slowly dropped the bait, “As a matter of fact, there should be nothing I don’t know about Lingsheng’s experience from childhood to adulthood.”
“For example, he hates the mixed smell of alcohol and tobacco and loud music in nightclubs.”
The person who can make Luo Lingsheng willingly sit here and wait must have a lot of weight in his heart.
Shi Yunnan’s eyes froze, and he sat down next to his lover calmly.
He suddenly and whimsically grabbed the man’s wrist, using the force to bring the wine glass in the other party’s hand to his lips, muttering, “You don’t like this kind of place and you still come?”
Luo Lingsheng followed along and said, “I came early to pick you up.”
Yu Shuo saw the tacit and intimate movements of the two and asked with great interest, “How long have you two known each other? Two years? three years? Or four years?“
“Less than half a year.”
This was answered by Luo Lingsheng.
After hearing this, the wine that had just entered Shi Yunnan’s throat suddenly became bitter.
Obviously, it was a normal answer, but when he saw the surprise on Yu Shuo’s face, there was a trace of inexplicable discomfort.
Yu Shuo raised his eyebrows and silently raised his glass towards Luo Lingsheng.
Luo Lingsheng understood his friend’s ridicule, but he could only pretend not to see it. For the time being, he didn’t want to reveal his secrets in front of Shi Yunnan.
Shi Yunnan was keenly aware of the tacit communication between the two and spoke aloud to regain his sense of existence, “Mr. Yu, since you two have known each other for so long, how come I’ve never heard him mention you?”
“We haven’t seen each other for almost four years. It’s normal for him not to mention me.“
Yu Shuo hid his heart-rending desire to pour out the secret and tried to bait them again, “The name that can be repeatedly mentioned by Lingsheng even if they didn’t see each other used to be…”
—bang.
In the next second, Luo Lingsheng put the wine glass in his hand firmly on the glass wine table. The crisp knocking sound promptly cut off Yu Shuo’s unspoken respond.
Yu Shuo met Luo Lingsheng’s meaningful glance and abruptly changed his words,”… I don’t think there’s any before. It should be Second Young Master Shi in the future.“
His friend had merely coaxed the person into his possession but hadn’t honestly confessed his secret for many years?
Alright.
Then he had to keep this secret till the end, so as not to spoil the couple’s little spice of life in the future.
Shi Yunnan froze for a few seconds, and his emotions suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
If the words were to deceive others, it would work, but in front of him, Yu Shuo’s little words trick wasn’t adequate.
This name, which had not been revealed, should be the white moonlight that Luo Lingsheng longed for, right?
“It’s getting late, Yu Shuo, let’s meet again at another date and time.”
After saying that, Luo Lingsheng was about to pull Shi Yunnan’s wrist, intending to take his lover home together.
As a result, Fu Ziyu walked down, carrying the already drunken Yuan Rui in the next second.
Seeing the two friends, Shi Yunnan quickly got up and approached them as if avoiding something, “Ziyu, don’t carry Yuan Rui like this, he’s drunk. Be careful; if he has an upset stomach and vomits all over you, then it’s your turn to cry.“
“F*ck!” Fu Ziyu, who was obsessed with cleanliness, heard such words and shouted quickly, “Come and help me. This guy doesn’t look tall, but he’s so damn heavy.”
Hearing Shi Yunnan’s instinctive concern and seeing the group of three pulling together, Luo Lingsheng rubbed his fingers slowly, “Yuan Meng, let’s go.”
“Yes, patriarch.”
Luo Lingsheng gave Yu Shuo a simple gesture and headed towards Shi Yunnan in his wheelchair.
Fu Ziyu, who had readjusted his posture to help Yuan Rui, conscientiously said to Shi Yunnan, “You guys go first. Just leave Yuan Rui, this cheap son, to me.“
Shi Yunnan met Luo Lingsheng’s silent gaze and responded indistinctly, “Ok.”
Yu Shuo stared at Luo Lingsheng’s distant back and kept silent. He then poured the half bottle of spirits in front of him into his stomach. At the end, he let out an indiscernible low laugh.
…
The two returned to Luo’s house with their own concerns.
As soon as Shi Yunan entered the door, he hurried back to his room on the second floor with the excuse of ‘taking a shower’.
Seeing this, Luo Lingsheng also controlled the wheelchair and returned to his room.
Little Goldfish was sitting on a small stool in the living room drinking milk. There was a tablet on the coffee table in front of him, and a foreign language short cartoon was playing on it.
It was the simple forty minutes of joy he could have every Friday night.
But on this occasion, Little Goldfish wasn’t in the mood to watch the cartoon.
He pressed the pause button and rushed to the butler Qin’s room, holding his milk bottle, “Grandpa Qin!”
Uncle Qin, who was registering the daily expenses of Luo’s house, looked at him and said, “Why don’t you watch cartoons? Isn’t there ten minutes left?“
Little Goldfish shook his head and approached the latter with a look of bad things happening, “It seems that uncle and little uncle had a fight.”
Butler Qin took off his reading glasses and said, “Who said that?”
“They just came back; one took the elevator, the other took the stairs, and the whole time they didn’t notice me sitting in the living room.” Little Goldfish stated with sound reasoning.
After he finished speaking, he didn’t forget to swallow the last mouthful of sweet milk.
The butler understood what he said, but he didn’t want Little Goldfish to concern himself with the grown-ups at such a young age, “The patriarch and Mr. Shi are both adults; they will solve the problem by themselves. You have to go to a private lesson tomorrow. Don’t worry about these things.“
“Do you still want to watch cartoons? If you don’t, Grandpa Qin will ask the nanny to take you to the bath and sleep.“
“Oh, okay.”
Little Goldfish was still hiding a little worry, but he wanted to be an obedient and good baby, “Not watching anymore, Grandpa Qin. I’m going to take a bath and sleep.“
“Good.”
Uncle Qin picked him up and went to the next room to find the nanny.
…
Shi Yunnan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He felt that his confused mind was much clearer.
Shi Yunnan leaned against his bed and remembered that as soon as he got home, he left Luo Lingsheng behind and quickly went back to his room. His eyebrows knit again as he got up and tried to sort out his true inner thoughts—
He wanted to get to know Luo Lingsheng step by step, but the occasional sudden possessiveness would make him feel indescribably irritable.
Just like the sudden appearance of Yu Shuo today, which made Shi Yunnan feel jealous and biased.
Compared to the twenty-year relationship between Yu Shuo and Luo Lingsheng, the less than half a year that he and Luo Lingsheng shared after “getting the certificate” was really insignificant.
Not to mention, Yu Shuo, who was a good friend, also seemed to know the existence of Luo Lingsheng’s “white moonlight.”
And what bothered Shi Yunnan the most tonight was when Yu Shuo tried to jokingly mention that person’s name—
Luo Lingsheng had a momentary emotional impulse to stop him, as if he was hiding a secret of his own, unwilling to be discovered by others.
Shi Yunnan wanted to show that he didn’t care, but his heart was full of sourness and jealousy because he had never seen his lover being subconsciously defensive like this before.
Luo Lingsheng was always calm, rational, and mature in front of him, and never made any extraordinary demands. Such emotional management was like an invisible transparent door blocking them.
Shi Yunnan felt that if it weren’t for him initiating the intimate contact, Luo Lingsheng would have been able to live with him peacefully and respect him as a guest until they’re old.
Shi Yunnan looked at the tightly closed and unmoving door and felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart. He sighed lightly, and simply picked up his mobile phone to divert his attention.
…
On the other side.
After washing up, Luo Lingsheng was also sitting in his bedroom. The tablet in his hand was dim with no activity as he couldn’t read any of the report figures from the beginning to the end.
Suddenly, the door that he had purposely left open for Shi Yunnan made a slight noise.
Luo Lingsheng quickly cast his gaze, but the light at the bottom of his eyes faded when he saw that it was his little nephew, “Jinyu, why are you not in bed yet?”
Little Goldfish deliberately glanced at the bathroom, and after confirming that Shi Yunnan was not there, he ran up to Luo Lingsheng and looked at him eagerly.
“Uncle, did you quarrel with little uncle?”
“No,” Luo Lingsheng denied.
It’s true that he and Shi Yunnan didn’t argue, and that’s what made him feel incredibly unsettled.
Little Goldfish asked again, “Then why are you sleeping separately again? Because little uncle’s work hasn’t finished yet?“
Some time ago, Shi Yunnan was busy designing, so he went to the other bedroom every once in a while to spend the night. This he knew.
Luo Lingsheng shook his head slightly, “No.”
Little Goldfish’s many questions failed to bear fruit, so he sighed fretfully, “Then why are you unhappy, uncle?”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t expect that he, who had always been able to hide his emotions, would be seen by his little nephew.
He was stunned for a long time, and then replied in an unexpected way, “Because in your little uncle’s heart, it seems that friends and career are more important than me.”
Little Goldfish nodded in understanding.
Luo Lingsheng secretly mocked himself for being unpromising and had to share his concern with his nephew, but at the same time he had to pretend to be serious and order, “Okay, go back to sleep.”
Without responding to his words, Little Goldfish turned around and ran out of the bedroom.
In a few seconds, he ran into Shi Yunnan’s room and put on a cute and well-behaved appearance, “Little Uncle!”
Shi Yunnan, who was concentrating on his phone, was taken aback and quickly turned off the phone and hid it under the pillow, “What’s wrong?”
Little Goldfish leaned against the edge of the big bed and thought for a moment before saying, “Uncle told me to come and tell you that he was jealous.”
“…..”
Shi Yunnan was stunned for two seconds, “What?”
Little Goldfish inclined his head and added, with his own thought pattern, “Because little uncle and friends are too busy, Uncle doesn’t have time to cuddle and sleep with you if he wants to.”
Shi Yunnan couldn’t help but chuckle twice, regardless of how true or false what Little Goldfish said was, “He was jealous but he didn’t come to find me, and you, why are you here instead of sleeping?”
“Little Uncle, then why don’t you go to Uncle?”
Shi Yunnan rubbed Little Goldfish’s head and explained simply and clearly, “Just like I like Little Goldfish and Little Goldfish likes me, we have to express ourselves to each other, right?”
“If it’s always one person going to another, how tiring that is.”
“I understand!”
Little Goldfish nodded thoughtfully and quickly ran out of the room.
Shi Yunnan watched him slip away, but his mind stayed on the conversation just now—
He carefully thought about the vast majority of the time in the past half month, and it appeared that he seemed to ignore Luo Lingsheng when he was busy designing at his desk.
They were not like lovers, but more like roommates living under the same roof.
With Luo Lingsheng’s mature and stable character, knowing that he loved design and regarded Yuan as a cooperative business partner, he would never say something like “Stop working and keep me company”.
Even if he was really jealous, Luo Lingsheng would never interfere with his every move at work, and the love he gave was tolerant enough.
In a relationship, they could never express every emotion on the surface, but as long as the likes were towards each other, wouldn’t it be good enough?
When Shi Yunan considered this, the uneasy feeling in his heart vanished without a trace—
What white moonlight? Aren’t they all in the past?
Luo Lingsheng, who he spent everyday life with, wasn’t a fake.
What’s wrong with less than half a year together? It took him so little time to conquer Luo Lingsheng, whom no one else could conquer.
As long as he wanted to, let alone twenty years, he could go on with Luo Lingsheng for a lifetime!
…
Just as Shi Yunnan was clearing his thoughts, Little Goldfish ran back to Luo Lingsheng’s room.
The child raised his head and said confidently, “Uncle, little uncle, wants you to go over and coax him!”
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t expect that his little nephew would actually become the communication between them, so he pulled him closer, “Did he really say that?”
Little Goldfish blinked, “Of course! Little Uncle said that if we like someone, we must express ourselves to the other.”
Little Goldfish thought about it for a while, attempting to express Shi Yunnan’s words a little more clearly as he made an exaggerated gesture, “Uncle, you actually have so much and so much fondness for little uncle.”
Immediately, he drew his thumb and index finger close together, “But you can only express this much.”
After Little Goldfish finished expressing it, he shook his head with a look of “hating iron for not turning into steel,” “Uncle! Don’t make little Uncle cry again; otherwise, I won’t like you anymore.“
“Last time you weren’t at home, little uncle was very sad. I coaxed him for you!”
As Little Goldfish spoke, he suddenly puffed out his cheeks angrily, as if blaming Luo Lingsheng for not being enlightened.
Luo Lingsheng did not expect that when he entered his early thirties, it would be his nephew’s turn to ‘teach him a lesson’.
He rubbed Little Goldfish’s head and answered seriously, “Okay, I understand.”
After he finished speaking, he controlled the wheelchair to the side of Shi Yunnan’s bedroom.
Just as Luo Lingsheng was about to knock on the door, the door was opened by Shi Yunnan from inside.
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly started talking in tacit agreement, “I have something to tell you.”
There was a faint smile in Shi Yunnan’s eyes, and he turned sideways to make way for Luo Lingsheng, “Come in?”
“Okay.”
The bedroom door was closed gently.
Little Goldfish, who was hiding in the corner and peeking at the show, ran out hastily and gently leaned on the door of the room to listen for a while.
After confirming that there was no quarrel, he quickly slipped back to his room before the butler and the nanny found out.
Little Goldfish picked up the thermal insulation bottle at the head of the bed and drank water to relieve his thirsty throat, then he sighed tiredly and contentedly—
“Hey, it really doesn’t give me peace of mind.”
