After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 64
When Shi Yunnan arrived at the medical center with Little Goldfish, the rain became heavier once again.
Bean-sized raindrops slammed against the window, making a loud noise.
Shi Yunnan let go of Little Goldfish and shook his own rain-dampened hair, saying, “Fortunately, we rushed to the hospital before the rain grew stronger; otherwise, Little Goldfish and I would have become drenched chickens even with an umbrella.”
Luo Lingsheng took out a clean towel from the bathroom and beckoned to him, “Come here.”
Shi Yunnan smiled and leaned closer, letting Luo Lingsheng wipe the water off his body. “Are you tired? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?“
“I was just closing my eyes for a while when I was woken up by an emergency call.” Luo Lingsheng answered.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his little nephew, who was wiping his face with a towel and was too self-reliant.
Shi Yunnan thought it was something at work and wrinkled his brow, “Who’s bothering you at that hour?”
Little Goldfish had been snitching behind his little uncle’s back and was now feeling a bit guilty.
When he heard Shi Yunnan’s not-so-serious questioning, his face turned red, and he immediately directed his gaze at Luo Lingsheng for help.
Luo Lingsheng raised his lips slightly, “It’s fine, I just need to rest early in the evening.”
Shi Yunnan returned his gaze to Little Goldfish, who was blushing, and said, “Little goldfish, come here.”
“…..”
Little Goldfish blinked in confusion. His usually joyous pace now moved more slowly than a snail.
When he finally got to Shi Yunnan, he moved his lips, “Little uncle…”
Sorry, I shouldn’t be snitching.
Before Little Goldfish could say the apology, Shi Yunnan reached out and touched his forehead, his eyes full of worry. “Baby, are you not feeling well?”
“Don’t go out and wait for me in the rain, ok? You’ll catch a cold.”
Shi Yunnan noticed the change in Little Goldfish, and just as he was talking, he held his warm little hand again, “…Lingsheng, ask the nurse to bring a thermometer.”
Little Goldfish choked and suddenly slammed into Shi Yunnan’s arms, “Little uncle.”
The soft and waxy voice suddenly turned into a sob.
Shi Yunnan rubbed his head, “What’s wrong? You have to say it if you don’t feel well.”
“No.”
Little Goldfish turned his head to look at Luo Lingsheng, held back the moving tears, and thought about it for a long time before finding a suitable excuse, “I’m hungry!”
Luo Lingsheng knew why Little Goldfish was acting “strange.”
One was the fear of being found out after “snitching”, and the other was that he was moved by Shi Yunnan’s subtle concerns.
He also touched the side of his little nephew’s neck and said, “I’ve already had dinner delivered. I’ll ask the nurse for a thermometer for both of you later.”
Little Goldfish nestled in Shi Yunnan’s arms, and quietly rubbed Luo Lingsheng’s palm again, smiling sweetly, “Yeah!”
See! His uncle and little uncle are the best match!
…
When the sumptuous and exquisite dinner was served, Shi Yunman and Little Goldfish both checked their body temperature. Little Goldfish had no fever, and there were no uncomfortable symptoms after careful inquiry.
Shi Yunnan finally felt relieved, and the three sat around the table to enjoy their dinner.
“Why did you suddenly want to go to the shopping mall in the afternoon?” Luo Lingsheng asked casually.
“I want to see the actual designs for the new season, and I want to pick a few suitable accessories…” Shi Yunnan took a sip of the delicious fish soup and shook his head, “Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything I liked after walking around.”
He paused and took the initiative to mention to Luo Lingsheng, “By the way, I met a foreign man at the counter today.”
Little Goldfish seemed to be seriously scooping up his corn gruel, but in fact he was perking up his ears to eavesdrop.
Luo Lingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, “Oh?”
Shi Yunnan noticed Luo Lingsheng’s subtle reaction and silently picked up an unpeeled fresh shrimp and threw it into his bowl, “The child is here, pay attention to your reaction.”
Don’t just casually drink vinegar.
Luo Lingsheng smiled and said nothing. After wiping his hands, he picked up the fresh shrimp and peeled it.
It was originally a push-pull game between the two, but Little Goldfish, who was ‘eavesdropping’, couldn’t hold back. He blinked his eyes and asked on behalf of his uncle, “Little Uncle, what happened to that foreign man?”
“He asked me to help him choose a brooch and said that he would give it to his own sister. Later, it rained heavily, I couldn’t get a car when I went out, and I accidentally bumped into him…”
Shi Yunnan thought for a while and answered selectively, “He dropped me off on the way back because of my help at the counter.”
Shi Yunnan deliberately omitted Ning De’an’s identity and the development of the original world line.
After all, this matter was too contrary to scientific development. He didn’t even know how to explain it clearly to Luo Lingsheng, not to mention there was Little Goldfish nearby.
He shouldn’t involve the child.
Luo Lingsheng handed the peeled shrimp to Shi Yunnan’s mouth, asking, “What’s that person’s name?”
Shi Yunnan’s eyes fell on the shrimp, and he opened his mouth slightly, “Ning De’an.”
Luo Lingsheng’s eyes flashed slightly after he got the name. He didn’t dwell on the issue and said, “The rain is too heavy. You can stay here tonight. There’s a side room to sleep in.”
Shi Yunnan was too lazy to go back and forth, and replied, “Ok. This shrimp is quite delicious.“
“I’ll peel more for you.” Luo Lingsheng smiled back.
Little Goldfish on the side pulled his little spoon, and while Shi Yunnan was not paying attention, he turned his head and gave Luo Lingsheng a small look—
Uncle, why didn’t you ask?
That foreign uncle even gave little uncle an umbrella!
How could Luo Lingsheng not notice the expression in his little nephew’s eyes. He had no choice but to stuff the peeled shrimp into his small mouth, “Jin Yu, eat more.”
“Oh.”
Little Goldfish bit the shrimp in his mouth hard, and his eyes were full of “grief.”
…
At half past nine in the evening, there was the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.
Little Goldfish who took a bath first climbed onto Luo Lingsheng’s exclusive hospital bed and groaned, “Uncle…”
“Hm?”
Luo Lingsheng put down the tablet in his hand and used the quilt on one side to wrap Little Goldfish, who was wearing thin pajamas.
Little Goldfish glanced at the closed bathroom door and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you ask clearly! I saw that foreign uncle and little uncle were very close to each other!“
Luo Lingsheng didn’t expect that this matter was still in his little head, so he straightened up slightly, “Jin Yu, listen carefully.”
“Since your little uncle can take the initiative to mention his experience outside today at dinner, it means he’s being honest about it. The three of us are a family; we have to trust each other, understand?”
“Understood, of course I believe in Little Uncle.” Little Goldfish nodded and shook his head again, “But Little Uncle is so good, there will be others who like him.”
Who said he didn’t trust Shi Yunnan? The one he didn’t trust was that unfamiliar, foreign uncle.
“What if one day Little Uncle doesn’t want us anymore?” When Little Goldfish said this, his eyebrows almost squeezed together, “I can’t bear to see him leave.”
A trace of unease flashed across Luo Lingsheng’s eyes, and then quickly dissipated, “No, he won’t leave us.”
He learned the way Shi Yunnan used to coax children, and he squeezed Little Goldfish’s baby fat, “You’re right. Your little uncle is so good, there will be other people who like him.”
“These days when I can’t be discharged from the hospital, you have to…”
“I know!”
Little Goldfish was very happy with Luo Lingsheng’s close touch and suddenly raised his hands and clenched fists like he was injected with chicken blood, “I’ll keep an eye on Little Uncle and won’t let other uncles abduct him!”
“…..”
Who did this kid learn from?
Luo Lingsheng was helpless and at the same time found it amusing. His original intention was just to make his little nephew obedient and try not to cause trouble for Shi Yunnan, but how did the other party “misinterpret” it into this meaning?
However, it was also good for the other party to have this different understanding.
Luo Lingsheng suppressed his real thoughts and ordered, “Okay, it’s almost ten o’clock. You go to the small room to sleep first.”
As soon as his voice fell, the bathroom door opened in response.
Little Goldfish slipped out of bed swiftly, rushed in front of Shi Yunnan, who had finished bathing, and asked with great anticipation, “Little Uncle, can I sleep with you today?”
Luo Lingsheng answered decisively behind him, “You can’t.”
Little Goldfish was so angry that his cheeks were bulging, “…Uncle is not good at all!”
Shi Yunnan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. There was nothing he could do with this pair of uncle and nephew who secretly PK’d each other.
The next second, the unwilling Little Goldfish pulled his arm and shook it vigorously, acting coquettishly, “Little uncle, I got wet by the rain today. What if I catch a cold at night?”
“…..”
The age was small, but the mind was quite big.
Shi Yunnan knew that Little Goldfish was pretending to be obedient, but he was still soft-hearted and picked him up. “Okay, let’s sleep together.”
Hearing this, Luo Lingsheng, who finally expected his lover to stay in the hospital ward, suddenly regretted the decision to bring him to the United States.
Shi Yunnan looked at the rare depressed Luo Lingsheng and curved his lips, “You go to bed early alone.”
Little Goldfish, who won the battle, said, “Uncle, good night~“
The more he listened to the trailing sound, the more uncomfortable it was.
Luo Lingsheng suddenly felt that he no longer wanted a little nephew.
As soon as the door closed, the backs of the two were completely cut off.
Luo Lingsheng had no choice but to get out of bed to take a shower, and lay back on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The night was getting darker and the rain outside the window did not stop.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of the door opening and closing behind him.
The second Luo Lingsheng turned around to take a look, Shi Yunnan got into bed and burrowed into his embrace. The familiar scents blended and wrapped around each other, causing both of them to let out a sigh involuntarily.
Shi Yunnan chuckled, “Little Goldfish slept very deeply. He shouldn’t find out that I left.”
Luo Lingsheng hugged his lover tightly and kissed his forehead, “It’s fine.”
“You’ve been staying in the United States for so long. Can you take care of the Luo family’s affairs? Is the second house and Luo Yanchuan side still noiseless?“
Shi Yunnan didn’t want to interfere in Luo Lingsheng’s career, but when he happened to meet Ning De’an today, he had to be wary of the established ending that could still happen.
In fact, compared to Luo’s assets, Luo Lingsheng’s safety was what worried him the most.
Even if his leg surgery failed this time, Shi Yunnan definitely didn’t want to see Luo Lingsheng’s situation where he was “completely ruined and trapped in prison.”
Shi Yunnan’s body tensed up as he thought of the foreseen ending in his dream.
Luo Lingsheng sensed his fluctuating mood and gently caressed his back again and again, “Don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements.”
“It’s rare that I’ve been out of the country for such a long time, so I can only manage the Luo family remotely…” The dim light concealed the ruthless calculations in the depths of Luo Lingsheng’s pupils, “It may not be a bad idea to take advantage of this opportunity to catch those restless people, so as not to create more problems later.”
Shi Yunnan gave a slight, almost undetectable response.
Luo Lingsheng kissed his lover’s lips. His eyes softened. “Sleep, I got this.”
“Um.”
Luo Lingsheng’s pre-operative training was still carried out on a daily basis, and the latest measured physical values had increased slightly, which was considered a rare good thing.
Saturday arrived in a flash.
Shi Yunnan finished revising the private order at hand and couldn’t help but stretch his back. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the exhibition invitation letter beside the table, and his mind moved slightly.
The 3rd Design Exhibition of “Porcelain and Jade”
Luo Lingsheng was afraid that he would feel bored outside of his design work, so he asked Qin Jian to get the invitation for him.
Shi Yunnan had heard of this exhibition before. Most of the design products on display were the combination of ceramics and jade. The special compatibility of fragile and hard objects made the designer’s idea a novel one.
Shi Yunnan saw the exhibition time on the invitation, and it ends at 5 pm today.
Why not go and take a look?
The moment the idea took shape, there was a knock on the door of the room.
“Come in.”
Little Goldfish ran in quickly, and cleverly called Shi Yunnan to eat. He glanced at the invitation letter full of English words out of the corner of his eye and looked at it.
Shi Yunnan put down the invitation letter and took him downstairs with him.
Little Uncle, are you going to see Uncle at the hospital this afternoon? I’ve finished the homework assigned to me by my private tutor!“
Shi Yunnan said, “Let’s go again at night. Uncle will go to an exhibition this afternoon.”
Little Goldfish nodded thoughtfully, “Okay.”
…
After lunch, Shi Yunnan casually changed into a set of formal clothes and drove out to see the exhibition.
This exhibition was in the first block near the city center. When Shi Yunnan arrived at the entrance of the exhibition hall, he realized that there weren’t particularly many people coming to see the show.
But it wasn’t hard to figure out why.
In the fast-paced United States, jade mixed with porcelain design was a niche art. In addition, this exhibition had been held for nearly half a month, thus those who liked it had already seen it.
Shi Yunnan went through the security check and entered this closed art paradise.
He originally came only with the mindset of casually looking around, but he didn’t expect to be completely attracted by these art exhibits once he entered the hall.
Jade was a natural product that had evolved over thousands of years, while porcelain was a man-made product calcined by fire. The combination of two equally beautiful but fragile products was unexpectedly wonderful.
Shi Yunnan had a consistent pursuit of designer aesthetics, and he gradually became fascinated by it.
He walked to the corner of the first exhibition hall and looked up to find a familiar figure in the second exhibition hall.
His eyes lingered for a moment to confirm, and the other party also noticed him.
“Mr. Shi?” Ning De’an approached slowly, his face still wearing a gentlemanly yet charming smile, saying, “I didn’t expect to see you here. We meet again.”
“Hello.” Shi Yunnan simply said hello.
Ning De’an looked at the exhibits beside him and smiled, “Mr. Shi also likes these porcelains?”
Shi Yunnan said frankly, “To be honest, I am a jewelry designer, and I cooperated with a friend in a jade design studio in China… However, I don’t know much about porcelain.”
“If Mr. Shi doesn’t mind, why don’t we stroll around together?” Ning De’an threw out an invitation, “I’m the opposite of you. I know more about ceramics than jade.”
Shi Yunnan thought for a moment, then responded, “Okay.”
This exhibition hall was divided into three exhibition halls in total, which were linked to each other.
Even if he refused at this moment, in this space, he and Ning De’an would still frequently meet.
It was nothing more than watching the exhibition. He felt that he had a clear conscience, so there was no reason to hide.
Ning De’an smiled slightly and pointed to his favorite design in this exhibition space, “Mr. Shi, look at this one.”
Shi Yunnan followed his line of sight—it was a pair of winged birds.
One was carved and polished from white jade, while the other was fired from black porcelain.
Two winged birds, one on top of the other, hold a jade bead as a connection. The clash between black and white was particularly eye-catching.
“Black porcelain is also called Tianmu porcelain in your country, and it is one of the oldest porcelain-making techniques.”
Ning De’an’s eyes were all filled with love for the porcelain, and he treated Shi Yunnan like a listener, “Mr. Shi, look at the patterns on its feathers. They were all carved before firing in the cellar.”
The glaze was dark and symmetrical, which was extremely rare on animal black porcelain that was not symmetrical in itself.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows.
This white jade carving was also rare. Not only was the jade quality of the original stone excellent, but the craftsmanship of the sculptor also wasn’t bad.
“Black porcelain is difficult to make, and white jade is difficult to carve.”
Shi Yunnan commented on his own, “Craftsmen with different craftsmanship will have differences in their skills and habits. It is indeed not easy for these two winged birds to achieve the same scale.”
Hearing Shi Yunnan’s evaluation that was almost the same as his own, Ning De’an’s light-colored pupils overflowed with a little pleasure, and the curvature of his mouth slowly expanded.
The two were getting more and more involved in the aesthetic concept of the exhibits.
It was only after Shi Yunnan finished watching the last exhibit that he realized the time had shifted to three o’clock in the afternoon.
Shi Yunnan put away his thoughts and walked outside the exhibition hall.
Ning De’an followed unhurriedly, “Does Mr. Shi have a schedule next? Or else I’ll treat you to afternoon tea?”
“After running into each other twice and talking twice, we should be able to call ourselves friends, right?”
Shi Yunnan paused slightly, and just as he was about to say no, a small figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
In less than five seconds, the other party hugged Shi Yunnan’s thigh closely.
Shi Yunnan looked down at Little Goldfish that suddenly appeared, and couldn’t react for a while.
Ning De’an narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, “Mr. Shi, who is this kid?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Goldfish took the lead and called Shi Yumnan, “Dad!”
“…..”
Shi Yunnan looked at Little Goldfish in a complicated and funny way.
Dad?
What’s the matter with this little guy today?
Ning De’an on the side couldn’t hide his shock. He took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Shi, are you married? This, is this your child?“
Little Goldfish, who succeeded in his plan, met Ning De’an’s gaze and nodded, “Mmmm! Yes, yes!”
He’s already married, so you’re out of luck!
Shi Yunnan finally understood what this little clever ghost was thinking, and simply picked up Little Goldfish with a smile, “Yes, I am married and very happy.”
He had never been a secretive person. Revealing his marital status could deter certain emotional attachments that shouldn’t be there.
Little Goldfish tightly hugged Shi Yunnan, quietly showing a winner’s smile.
See!
He promised his uncle!
Nobody will try to take little Uncle from under his nose!
“…..”
Ning De’an was speechless for a while.
Although the two had met twice, he had an indescribable favorable impression of Shi Yunnan. He thought that after they became friends, perhaps they could develop further.
Yet the idea ended before it had even begun.
Ning De’an suppressed the flash of disappointment in his heart and smiled, “Little baby is very cute.”
“Thank you.” Shi Yunnan took the initiative to end the meeting, saying, “We still have things to do, so we’ll leave first.”
Ning De’an regrettably watched the two leave, and a thought swept through his mind—
This is what the Chinese call an early marriage, right?
He wondered who had this good luck to become a partner with someone like Mr. Shi?
…
Shi Yunnan took Little Goldfish to the parking lot and asked, “Who brought you here? Qin Jian or Yuan Meng? Where are they?“
“Neither, I asked the driver at home to bring me here.”
Little Goldfish told the truth and even looked a little smug.
Before Little Goldfish had lunch, he heard that Shi Yunnan was going to go to the exhibition, and immediately thought of the invitation letter on the table.
Taking advantage of Shi Yunnan’s time to change clothes in the cloakroom, he secretly took a picture of the invitation letter with his children’s cell phone. When he woke up from a nap, he asked the driver to take him out.
Little Goldfish’s idea was simple. He wanted to pick up his little uncle instead of his uncle, who couldn’t get out of the hospital.
Hearing these words, Shi Yunnan’s eyebrows rarely screwed together.
Why was this temporary hired driver so unreliable? How old was Little Goldfish? Can he be taken out without the adults’ permission?
Shi Yunnan put him on the safety seat and fastened his seat belt without saying a word.
Little Goldfish noticed Shi Yunnan’s emotions, and the smile on the corner of his mouth immediately subsided, “Little uncle?”
Shi Yunan replied solemnly, “Sit tight. We will talk about today’s matters when we arrive at the hospital.”
Little Goldfish had never seen Shi Yunnan’s angry look before, and immediately sat down obediently and did not speak.
…
Luo Lingsheng had just finished this afternoon’s daily training when he saw one big and one small walk in.
Shi Yunnan’s face was stern, while Little Goldfish, who was usually so lively in front of the other party, cried with a sad face.
Luo Lingsheng was surprised, “What’s wrong?”
Shi Yunnan looked at the poor Little Goldfish and asked, “Speak for yourself. What did you do wrong today?“
With tears in his eyes, Little Goldfish consciously stood against the wall, “Little Uncle, sorry, I should not lie and call you dad in front of outsiders.”
“…..”
The focus was extremely off.
Seeing the tip of his red nose, Shi Yunnan had no choice but to be tough, “Think again, am I talking about this matter?”
“I shouldn’t have hidden it from you and uncle and let uncle driver sneak me out, I’m sorry….” Little Goldfish said as he stood up straighter.
The soft and waxy child’s voice was laced with a hint of crying that was about to collapse.
Luo Lingsheng understood what happened from these words, and suddenly lowered his voice, “Jin Yu.”
When Little Goldfish heard Luo Lingsheng’s serious tone that had not appeared in a long time, he suddenly shuddered, tears falling down, “I was wrong ah wu wu… next, no next time…“
“Why are you so mean?”
Shi Yunnan’s heart instantly softened, and he hurriedly bent down to pull Little Goldfish into his arms, not forgetting to glare at Luo Lingsheng.
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng, who had only called out his name, was helpless.
Shi Yunnan wiped away his tears with a tissue while patiently educating him, “Uncle knows you are smart, but you are still young, so you can’t just run out of the house without the permission of adults, you know?”
Fortunately, the driver was a paid errand.
Although he was careless and didn’t report it to the boss in time, fortunately, he did not use Little Goldfish to extort money.
“Understood.” Little Goldfish sniffed and didn’t forget to look at Luo Lingsheng.
Luo Lingsheng met his red eyes and made his stance clear, “Jin Yu, you know what to do.”
Little Goldfish pursed his lips and did not speak.
He took the initiative to withdraw from Shi Yunnan’s embrace and consciously thought about it against the wall.
Shi Yunnan didn’t expect this to happen, and just as he was about to step forward, Luo Lingsheng grabbed his wrist, “Let him stand.”
This was the rule Luo Lingsheng set for Little Goldfish.
If he did something wrong, he was punished by standing for ten minutes, so that he would remember.
Shi Yunnan looked at Little Goldfish, who was trying his best to stop crying while still holding up his small body, and his heart was soft, but at the same time he felt a little funny.
“Little Goldfish, turn around.”
Little Goldfish turned around, his eyes moistened with tears, looking even more aggrieved.
Shi Yunnan took the opportunity to ask, “Why did you suddenly call me dad just now?”
The word ‘Dad’ immediately made Ning De’an aware of his “married” status. How did this little clever ghost come up with it?
Little Goldfish looked at Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng, and had a clear realization in his heart—
In this family, Little Uncle has the final say!
In order to calm Shi Yunnan down, he didn’t hesitate to throw his own uncle under the bus, saying, “Little uncle! It was uncle who was jealous and asked me to watch you. He was afraid you would run away with other people!“
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng was dumbfounded. He really raised a good nephew.
When Shi Yunnan heard the confession, he met his lover’s guilty gaze with a forced smile, “Oh?”
The author has something to say:
Patriarch: The person sitting in the hospital bed still received the pot from the nephew.
