After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 55
A fragrant heat is rising in the warm and bright dining room.
At the center of the dining table, an old-fashioned charcoal stove hot pot was filled with tumbling and rolling meat and vegetables, looking very mouth-watering.
“Wow! Hot Pot, Hot Pot! “
Little Goldfish was looking forward to eating it. His saliva was almost dripping down his chin.
Shi Yunnan nimbly clipped a fish meatball and put it in his special children’s small bowl, “Little greedy cat, let it cool before eating, be careful of burning your mouth.”
“Thank you, little uncle. I love you!”
Luo Lingsheng glanced at his “slick tongue” little nephew and asked, “Who taught you that? You keep these words on your lips all day long.“
Little Goldfish took a bite of the meatball and said vaguely, “Little Uncle taught me. Uncle, haven’t you learned yet?””
Last time Shi Yunnan and Luo Ling Sheng had a falling out, he was taught this: if you like someone, you should clearly express yourselves.
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng was beaten back by his little nephew with a single sentence, and suddenly he was at a loss for words.
A smile appeared at the corner of Shi Yunnan’s mouth. For some reason, he liked to see Luo Lingsheng being “lectured” by Little Goldfish’s childish words.
He didn’t say anything but turned to Qin Jian instead, “Where’s the birthday cake?”
Qin Jian replied, “It’s in the kitchen refrigerator. I’ll go get it now.”
As soon as his voice landed, Butler Qin ordered the servants to bring the prepared dishes as well.
“Mr. Shi said he wanted to eat hot pot, and I was afraid that the patriarch and the little young master wouldn’t be used to eating it, so I had some more home-cooked dishes prepared.”
“Anyway, it’s a meal in our own home. I thought that we all don’t need to be too formal.”
Uncle Qin smiled amiably and contentedly. He liked this kind of family atmosphere very much and couldn’t help but sighed. “It’s been a long time since the patriarch celebrated his birthday.”
Luo Lingsheng pursed his lips slightly. The bottom of his eyes shook with a trace of regret.
He didn’t like to organize birthdays and such, so in previous years his parents and his sister were the ones who thought about his birthday from one year to the next.
Since the unexpected death of his family, Luo Lingsheng didn’t like to celebrate his so-called birthday anymore.
Of course, it was also to avoid other people’s flattery at the birthday banquet, which only added to his pain.
Shi Yunnan saw the emotion in Luo Lingsheng’s eyes and patted his lover’s thigh with his hand hidden under the table.
It was like he was speaking to Uncle Qin, but in fact he was also speaking to Luo Lingsheng himself, “There are still more birthdays ahead. We can spend them with him every year in the future.”
Although Luo Lingsheng’s identity and status made the birthday party at home a little crude, it also brought a warm feeling that no luxury banquet could match.
Luo Lingsheng pressed his hand against Shi Yunnan’s palm and interlocked his fingers.
Little Goldfish bent down like a clever ghost to look under the table, and when he found this “secret”, he immediately smiled and squinted his eyes again, “Oh~~ I’ve caught it again!”
“Oh what?”
Shi Yunnan squeezed Luo Lingsheng’s palm, signaling him to release.
Little Goldfish shook his head, with an exaggerated look on his face, “Don’t worry, I won’t say it.”
The crowd was having a small talk at the dining table when Qin Jian finally came out of the kitchen with a small cake.
Little Goldfish’s attention was instantly drawn by the cake, and he quickly vacated the space in front of him, “Uncle Qin, this way, this way! Put the cake here!“
When Qin Jian heard this, he immediately looked at Luo Lingsheng.
With the tacit approval of the other party, he placed the candle-lit cake in front of Little Goldfish, saying, “Little young master, be careful not to burn your hands.”
Little Goldfish nodded quickly and took the initiative to sing a happy birthday song, but the singing voice sounded like the eighteen curves of the mountain road1.
In the end, he also helped with the cutting and happily got the cake for everyone present.
He was so busy that he couldn’t stop.
Uncle Qin was afraid that his good intention would turn into a hindrance, so he watched him closely on one side.
Qin Jian and Yuan Meng poured wine for the people present, and then sat down next to each other, “Look at how excited the little young master is. If I didn’t know, I would have thought it was his birthday.”
Shi Yunnan leaned back in his chair and stared at Little Goldfish. He found it increasingly interesting to raise a child.
Luo Lingsheng replied, “Let him be.”
He had never liked sweets and only agreed to buy a birthday cake today just to make his little nephew happy.
When Little Goldfish finished dividing all the cakes, Shi Yunnan said to the worried Uncle Qin, “Uncle Qin, you sit down too.”
“Ok.”
He looked around and fixed his gaze on Luo Lingsheng again, and took the initiative to raise his glass, “Luo Lingsheng, happy birthday.”
Seeing this, Uncle Qin and the others also followed and raised their glasses, “Patriarch, happy birthday.”
Little Goldfish was unwilling to admit defeat. With cream on the corner of his mouth, he raised the fruit juice in his hand and said, “Happy birthday, Uncle. Can you have a birthday every day from now on?”
Luo Lingsheng’s heart-felt emotion was scraped away by his little nephew’s words, but he couldn’t bear to blame him, so he just raised his glass and clinked with everyone.
After drinking the wine, Shi Yunnan deliberately smeared the cream on the tip of Little Goldfish’s nose, saying, “Don’t think we don’t know that you just want to eat cake every day. If you have worms growing from your teeth, we will have the dentist pull them out.“
Little Goldfish wrinkled his nose and hurriedly ate another piece of cake to suppress his shock.
He brushes his teeth every day, so he doesn’t need to see a doctor!
…
After getting along for a long time, they were just like a real family, so the atmosphere at this table was naturally not depressing.
Little Goldfish has a small belly, so he was full soon after.
After nibbling down most of the cake, he was dutifully brought back to his room by Uncle Qin while burping.
With Luo Lingsheng’s tacit approval, Qin Jian and Yuan Meng ate and drank without the usual restraint at work.
The two believed that since Mr. Shi came to this house, the number of times the patriarch became angry had been decreasing day by day, which was a good thing.
After three rounds of wine, Shi Yunnan asked casually, “The Chinese New Year is coming up in less than a month, so the Luo company should also be on holiday, right? Qin Jian, Yuan Meng, are you guys going back home for the Chinese New Year?“
Yuan Mang shook his head, his face dyed a little red by the wine, saying, “Mr. Shi, I’m not going back.”
“Why?”
“My parents passed away when I was very young. It was my brother who brought me up. The situation at home is a little difficult to say…“
When Yuan Meng said this, there was a hint of hesitation on his face.
Qin Jian probably knew something and helped explain, “What’s so hard to say? Meng Meng’s money before and after his discharge from the military some years ago was scavenged by his sister-in-law in every way possible.”
Later, he became Luo Lingsheng’s personal bodyguard, and the salary naturally doubled.
When he returned to his hometown two years ago, his sister-in-law pretended to cry for money again—
Sometimes she said that his nephew needed money to go to school; other times she said that things at home needed to be renovated. In any case, it was just an excuse to get Yuan Meng’s money.
Yuan Meng’s older brother tried to help his little brother by speaking up, but he was scolded by his wife.
The two brothers are first-class honest people. How can they get rid of such a senseless woman who cried, made trouble, and threatened to hang herself?
In his first year as a bodyguard, Yuan Meng returned to his hometown for the holidays and “gave away” almost all the salary he had saved for the whole year. Later, Yuan Meng’s brother was afraid that his younger brother would be bullied again, so he secretly refused to let Yuan Meng go back.
He can’t afford to stir anything, so he can only avoid it.
Yuan Meng nodded in response, “I will send a sum of money back to my brother in two days.”
After all, his elder brother did have the grace to raise him.
“Yes, that will do.”
Qin Jian patted the shoulder of the person beside him. Perhaps due to alcohol, he teased him a little more than usual, “Otherwise, if we go back a few more times, our Meng Meng’s future wife will have nothing left.”
“…..”
Yuan Mang’s face was dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye. With a flick of his shoulder, he shook off Qin Jian’s playful hand.
Shi Yunnan thought the way they got along was interesting and continued to ask, “What about you, Qin Jian?”
“My home is in Lin Province, so it’s very convenient to drive back and forth. My parents are both university professors. They are usually very busy.“
Qin Jian also had a sister who was studying at a local university in Lin Province. If there is an emergency at home, she can be of help.
Shi Yunnan nodded with understanding.
Although the two grew up in different educational environments, it was a good thing that they were able to, unexpectedly and harmoniously, get along at work.
Luo Lingsheng knew that he had usually “exploited” his two subordinates a lot, so he lightly said, “I’ll give you 20 days of paid leave from next week. You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to stay by my side all the time.”
When spring arrives, Luo Lingsheng will be leaving for the United States for surgery. He’s sure there will be a lot of work by then.
“Patriarch, I don’t need a vacation.” Yuan Meng refused.
Shi Yunnan drank the remaining half glass of wine and raised his eyebrows, “Humans all need rest. If you feel that you have nowhere to stay, follow Qin Jian to Lin Province to play. As a colleague, he shouldn’t leave you behind.“
Probably because their environment, family, and education were different since childhood, Qin Jian and Yuan Meng have completely different personalities.
Taking Qin Jian as an example, he never slacked off during his working hours, but when it came to private time, he can also face Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan, the two “boss bosses”, like a fish in water.
Yuan Meng, who was just a “collegue”, was even easier to handle.
“Mr. Shi, I’ve already said it long ago, but he doesn’t want to.” Qin Jian looked at the person beside him and continued to tease him, “It seems he’s afraid that my parents will…”
Yuan Meng coughed, somewhat reluctantly and deliberately.
Qin Jian smiled and got up to avoid the topic, “Patriarch, Mr. Shi, I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
After Qin Jian left, Shi Yunnan couldn’t hold back his curiosity, “Yuan Meng, are you afraid of Qin Jian?”
“No, Mr. Shi.” Yuan Mang was afraid that Shi Yunnan and others would misunderstand, so he opened his mouth with a retort.
He paused for a while, then answered depressedly and honestly, “I’m just stupid and can’t move my brain fast enough. I can’t beat him when he jokes around in private.“
If possible, Yuan Mang also wants to take back a game.
After all, he had been in the army for so long in the early years, and he still had some desire to win or lose.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows, “Isn’t that easy?”
He glanced at Luo Lingsheng, and quickly approached Yuan Meng to teach him some “bad ideas”.
Yuan Meng’s eyes showed astonishment, “No, it’s not good, right?”
“What’s wrong? It’s nothing more than a few words spoken,” Shi Yunnan shrugged, keeping a proper distance. “Think about what I said to your patriarch before, which one is not more excessive than the last?”
When Yuan Meng thought of this, he actually agreed in his heart.
He still remembered that Shi Yunnan called Luo Lingsheng his husband as soon as he appeared, and that shook everyone in place.
Luo Lingsheng silently watched the scene unfold and asked indifferently, “You’ve led Little Goldfish astray, and now you want to instill some evil idea in my bodyguard?”
“Nothing of the sort. I’m a decent and good person.“
Shi Yunnan returned to Luo Lingsheng’s side and bent over, “Are you full? Shall we go upstairs? It’s almost time. I’m a little sleepy.“
“Ok.”
When Shi Yunnan heard his lover’s reply, his eyes flickered with expectation.
What can this meal count as?
The next thing he was about to do behind closed doors was the main event.

Singing out of tune
The night gradually deepened.
After Luo Lingsheng approved the company’s new project report, he took off his glasses and rubbed his swollen temples.
The sound of water dripping in the bathroom kept on ringing. Luo Lingsheng glanced at the time, only to realize that Shi Yunnan had been in there for almost forty minutes.
Luo Lingsheng hurriedly controlled the wheelchair to the bathroom for fear that his lover might have an accident, “Yunnan?”
The sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, and it took several seconds before a suppressed trembling voice came, “I’ll be out in a minute.” Because it was through the bathroom door, he couldn’t really hear it clearly.
When Luo Lingsheng got a response from Shi Yunnan, he moved back to the bed with a little peace of mind, and laboriously moved himself back to the bed.
After about another three minutes, the bathroom door finally opened.
Shi Yunnan was wearing a loose silky bathrobe; his slightly long hair was still soaked with a little moisture.
The sharp-eyed Luo Lingsheng squinted and quickly opened the quilt beside him, “Come here, where’s the bath towel? Why don’t you dry your hair?”
Shi Yunnan, uncharacteristically, did not answer.
He approached him quickly and bent down to kiss the side of Luo Lingsheng’s lips. “Why haven’t you asked me if I’m going to give you a birthday present today?”
Shi Yunnan did not rush to bed, but stood at the edge of the bed and leaned forward.
When Luo Lingsheng’s gaze went down, he could vaguely glimpse his delicate skin hidden under the bathrobe. His eyes darkened, “Did you prepare a gift for me?”
In fact, for him, it was enough to have Shi Yunnan as his sincere company on his birthday this year.
“No.”
Shi Yunnan flatly denied it, and the reason given was very simple: “What can the Luo family be missing? I’ve thought about it. It’s better to save the money than to buy useless and redundant gifts.“
Luo Lingsheng felt a sense of loss at the bottom of his heart, but he didn’t show anything on the surface. “It’s all right, you come up first.”
Although the heating was turned on in the room, there was still a temperature difference inside and outside the bathroom. He was afraid that his lover would catch a cold.
Shi Yunnan didn’t catch any glimpse of Luo Ling Sheng’s emotional change and pretended to be sad. “It seems that you don’t have deep feelings for me; you don’t even care if I send you something or not.”
As he said that, he casually pulled the flattened quilt to the side.
Shi Yunnan put his arms around Luo Lingsheng’s shoulders and simply sat across his lover’s body.
Luo Lingsheng sensed the state of the person in his arms as he approached and suddenly froze. His gaze shifted downward—
The overly long bathrobe was half-covered, failing to reveal the seductive scenery underneath.
“You only wear a bathrobe?”
“I’m going to take it off anyway, so I didn’t wear anything else.”
Shi Yunnan approached Luo Lingsheng’s lips again and wrapped his warm breath around him, “Husband, the gift is right in front of you. Do you want to open it?”
His flirtatious smile heavily tugged at the man’s heartstrings.
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng immediately clasped the back of his head, and without a word, caught the warm lips that were close at hand.
His teeth were easily pried open, and a deep, possessive kiss continued to rob him of every breath.
In a few moments, a tingle rolled up like an electric shock through all his limbs.
Shi Yunnan let out a moan, showing no shyness in his actions. He put his lover’s arm around him and took the initiative to deepen the intimacy.
Luo Lingsheng was pleased by Shi Yunnan’s initiative, and a low laugh escaped from his throat.
His fingers dug into his lover’s hair, and his other calloused hand caressed and stroked inch by inch downward.
“…Luo Lingsheng.”
The lips of the two were slightly separated, but their breath was mixed together, and it was difficult to separate.
Without the cover of his glasses, Luo Lingsheng’s eyes were overflowing with emotion. “Hmm?” He uttered a sound with some impatience.
Luo Lingsheng kissed Shi Yunnan’s forehead, trying to ease the impulse in his heart, “Go get a bath towel. I’ll help you wipe your hair.“
Shi Yunnan liked to see Luo Lingsheng’s undisguised expression. He smiled and leaned against his lover’s shoulder, “No need. It’ll dry up by itself when it’s hot.“
His words contained other meanings.
In the presence of his lover, Shi Yunnan is unconcerned and unashamedly active.
Luo Lingsheng sensed his deep meaning, and his hand dropped to a spot at the bottom.
All of a sudden, Shi Yunnan let out a broken sound with a light tremor.
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng felt some softness and moisture with his fingers. For a moment, he couldn’t wait to swallow the person in his arms into his belly.
“What did you just do in the bathroom?” He asked knowingly.
The corners of Shi Yunnan’s eyes were stained an enticing red color, but he stubbornly refused to admit defeat. “I helped us save some time, but it’s not quite……“
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Lingsheng had reached the end of his forbearance and moved his finger to express his position.
Shi Yunnan was caught off guard and let out a sudden panting, which fell into the ears of the person in front of him, and instantly became another indescribable temptation.
Luo Lingsheng moved his fingers again and again, and the strength of varying degrees seemed to weigh the final pros and cons in his heart.
He stared intently at the reaction of the person in his arms, “Shi Yunnan.”
“Um?”
Shi Yunnan narrowed his eyes and seemed to enjoy the gentle and effortless soothing.
He has to build up his strength. There will be a tough battle to be fought later.
Luo Lingsheng was tempted by his demeanor, and the deep-seated love he had suppressed for many years exploded in full force at this moment. He pressed close to his lover’s ear and dropped four words like an oath—
“Don’t regret it later.”
… [Omitted]
Shi Yunnan slept very restlessly. He habitually sought out the heat source beside him while he was half asleep.
Luo Lingsheng didn’t feel sleepy at all. He embraced his lover tenderly, and his lips nuzzled against the other party’s forehead.
Shi Yunnan let out a grunt, his eyelids drooping as he asked, “What time is it?”
“Three o’clock, you only slept for less than an hour.”
Luo Lingsheng saw how sleepy he was and asked, “Shall I lower the lights for you?”
Shi Yunnan shook his head dazedly. His voice was hoarse and breathless. “No need, that place is uncomfortable. I definitely can’t sleep well tonight.“
Hearing this, Luo Lingsheng patted the back of his neck soothingly, “Lie down, I’ll give you a massage.”
Shi Yunnan became a little sober and demanded nonchalantly, “Press my waist it a little harder.”
“Ok.”
Shi Yunnan remembered their exercise not long ago and raised his eyelids a little bit, “If I knew that your hand strength was so strong, I wouldn’t have to work so hard in the early stage.”
Because of Luo Ling Sheng’s legs, Shi Yunnan was more active in the early stage.
As a result, it turned out that “navel orange1” indeed required a lot of strength.
Shi Yunnan was too tired to move and almost thought of backing out.
The result of it?
Luo Lingsheng couldn’t bear such gentle strokes. He immediately put in the work and started tossing and turning.
Through the course of action, Shi Yunnan felt that his waist was about to crumble.
Luo Lingsheng let his lover murmur and complain. The pressure on his fingers was gentle and patient.
Since the two of them couldn’t sleep, they naturally started chatting.
Luo Lingsheng didn’t expect that Shi Yunnan would send such a “big gift” on his birthday, so he had no time to ask, “When did you buy those things?”
“I bought it online and hid it in the cupboard in my own room.”
Shi Yunnan became less sleepy and curled his lips proudly, “Since it’s a birthday present, of course I can’t let you know early.”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t speak but lowered his head to capture Shi Yunnan’s lips again.
This kiss was without any impulsive desire. There is only the purest emotional expression between lovers.
After the kiss, Luo Lingsheng casually asked about trivial matters, “How did you feel when you went to Mrs. Fang’s anniversary party today? I heard that she and her husband have always been very affectionate.“
When Shi Yunnan heard the words, he remembered an important matter: “I met Luo Yanchuan at the banquet.”
Luo Lingsheng frowned slightly when he heard the long-lost name, “Why’s he there?”
“I heard that Luo Yanchuan had previously come across Miss Mo being stalked by a gangster, so he had helped out.”
Shi Yunnan remembered Mo Xuanqi’s overly obvious affection for Luo Yanchuan and sighed helplessly, “With Luo Yanchuan’s appearance, it’s very easy to bewitch a naive young girl.”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t show much expression. “He took over the company under his parents some time ago. I sent people to keep an eye on it secretly, and currently there was no major movement.“
“I hope so.”
Shi Yunnan remembered Luo Lingsheng’s final ending and continued to warn him, “This person still has to be guarded against. I’m afraid he’s coveting your position as the head of the family.“
One should refrain from hurting others but should guard against those trying to harm them.
No matter how the trajectory of the world changes, he should always watch out for the protagonist of the original book.
“Don’t worry, I have been sending people to keep watch.”
Luo Lingsheng replied, hiding the desire for control that flashed across his eyes.
As long as the second house didn’t do anything excessive, Luo Lingsheng was willing to let them live freely for the sake of the kinship.
But if the other party followed the example of the first house back then and attempted to harm innocent people for the sake of the family head position, he would never be merciful.
“By the way, has the surgery time been set?”
Shi Yunnan changed the topic, not wanting to waste time on irrelevant people.
Luo Lingsheng replied, “I’ll go after this spring festival. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just want the dust to settle early on this matter, it‘s best to be well.” Shi Yunnan hugged him tightly and came to this conclusion.
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng was silent for several seconds, his heart strings suddenly tensed up because of these words, “Do you dislike me the way I am now? You know, the success rate of the operation is not very high.“
“I know.”
Shi Yunnan knew that Luo Lingsheng had misunderstood his words, but he didn’t rush to explain, “I used to be ignorant, but now practical experience has allowed me to understand something…“
“What?” Luo Lingsheng was confused.
Shi Yunnan endured his aching waist and muttered in embarrassment, “If your leg doesn’t get better, I’ll be really tired in the future.”
