After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 96
When Luo Lingsheng arrived at the Imperial Capital Shengya Confinement Center, Luo Yu had just finished her lunch.
The siblings look at each other.
Luo Yu showed a gentle smile and said, “You’re really busy, aren’t you? You’re finally here; are you done with the company?”
“Sister.”
Luo Lingsheng walked in and looked around the room calmly.
The siblings grew up together, so Luo Yu could tell what he was thinking with a glance and said with a smile, “Your little nephew has just been taken for a bath by the nurse, so sit here and wait; you’ll see him later.”
Luo Lingsheng’s eyes overflowed with hidden anticipation, “Okay.”
Luo Yu and her husband had been in love for five years, and it took nearly two years after their marriage to have this fruit of their love. Now, almost half a month after the successful delivery, Luo Lingsheng, who was busy with the expansion of the company, finally had the time to rush over.
“Where’s brother-in-law?”
“He got up early to deal with business and won’t be here until about one o’clock.”
Luo Yu looked at her brother, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, and asked, “I heard from mom that you have expanded the company again? You have expanded three branches in less than three years. Aren’t you tired?”
“Not tired.”
Luo Lingsheng replied calmly, not taking all the credit on himself, “Yu Shuo and the other two partners help me a lot, and we had a familiar process to apply and adapt to market demand for the expansion.”
Luo Yu gave a helpless “tsk” and lightly patted her younger brother’s shoulder, saying, “I mean, your career is going well enough; shouldn’t you also put your relationship on the agenda?”
“You’re now twenty-six years old and will be twenty-seven years old after the New Year.”
Luo Lingsheng was taken aback for a moment; unable to make amends, he had no choice but to ask back, “…Sister, don’t you already know?”
“It’s because I know that’s why I’m curious.” Luo Yu picked up a bunch of washed grapes in the fruit basket and slowly peeled and ate them.
“It’s the second young master of the Shi family, isn’t it? You’ve been secretly in love with him for so long, and you still don’t intend to pursue him?”
When Luo Yu was not yet pregnant, she and her close cousin Luo Rong “dug out” the precious person hidden in her brother’s heart. Unexpectedly, she even gave birth to a child now, but there was still no movement on Luo Lingsheng’s side.
“Our family’s situation is different. Even if Mom and Dad agree, this matter will become complicated when it reaches Grandpa’s ears. My career is not stable yet, and he is still in college. I can’t rashly disturb or even affect him.”
“Sigh, you just worry too much.”
Luo Yu handed one of the peeled grapes to Luo Lingsheng’s mouth in order to “block” the other party’s speech.
“Only our family is aware of this behind closed doors. Besides, grandpa is already at this age; even if he knows, how long can he manage us?”
“At most, he’ll reject you and refuse to let our fourth house take a large share of the property, but our family doesn’t care how much share we get, right?”
Luo Lingsheng silently nodded.
“Homosexuality has long been recognized and accepted by society. As long as our parents don’t object, you can confirm that you like him enough and that he likes you…”
Luo Lingsheng interrupted subconsciously, “Things haven’t begun to take shape yet.”
Even if he took the initiative to chase him, Shi Yunnan might not agree.
Perhaps because of the long time in which he had been secretly in love, Luo Lingsheng understood the meaning of the six words “do not dare to open up easily” more and more.
It is said that the one who falls in love first loses. Luo Lingsheng thinks that he has no chance of winning at all. Shi Yunnan seemed to be involved in constant love affairs, but he didn’t dare to easily provoke him.
Feelings have never been a game for Luo Lingsheng. Before deciding to take the step of “chasing someone,” he must first confirm that his heart remains the same, then ensure that he has the ability to maintain this relationship, and finally, he needs the right timing.
The company had expanded and changed in the past two years. As the CEO, he had walked a long way without any rest yet, so how could he easily take the time to chase someone? He was afraid that he would lose both his career and his love.
The so-called long-term crush was originally in his plan.
However, everything was on the right track now, and Shi Yunnan’s studies in his junior year were relatively easy, so maybe he should create a suitable opportunity to meet and pursue him.
“Sister, I know what to do. I’ll take action when the time comes.”
“Fine, as long as you know what you’re talking about.”
Luo Yu took out a wet towel and wiped her hands, then she said in a low voice, “Although Mom and Dad are looking forward to holding their grandchildren, if you really like men, they won’t separate the Mandarin Ducks with their personalities.”
“If you can get to the point of meeting the parents, when the time comes, both your brother-in-law and I will help you talk; don’t worry.”
Luo Lingsheng’s brows and eyes showed some joy, “En.”
The siblings chatted for a while and finally waited until the nurse brought in the clean baby.
Luo Yu’s brows and eyes became softer, and she said with a smile, “Sister Zhang, let his uncle hug him.”
“I……”
Just as Luo Lingsheng was about to refuse, the nurse, with a kind smile, gently handed the baby into his arms.
Luo Lingsheng, who had always been calm and measured in doing things, was inexplicably tense and stiff, holding the little nephew who had just been born, not daring to move.
“Lingsheng, don’t be nervous.” Luo Yu approached him and slightly corrected his posture, saying, “Just put your hand here.”
She tapped the child’s little face with her fingertips and joked, “Don’t be afraid, uncle; our Little Goldfish is not that delicate, right?”
Probably feeling the breath of his mother, Little Goldfish in the swaddling clothes immediately grinned and let out a milky sound. His round eyes were very cute.
“Little Goldfish?”
“That’s his nickname; his real name is Jinyu.”
Luo Yu reported the finalized name to her brother, and her loving gaze kept resting on the Little Goldfish’s face.
“Your brother-in-law and I want him to reap a full harvest of love every day, and then shine brightly and lovingly on others again1.”
“The meaning is very good.”
Luo Lingsheng relaxed the posture of holding the child, saying, “Sister, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to yours, but his nose and mouth are like my brother-in-law’s.”
“Really?” Luo Yu teased Little Goldfish with her fingers, “On the contrary, our parents and I think that he looks like you when you were a child.”
The nurse next to her looked at Luo Lingsheng and said, “The nephew looks like his uncle; it makes sense; the baby will definitely be very close to his uncle when he grows up.”
Luo Yu replied proudly, “That’s right, our baby will learn from his uncle when he grows up; equestrian, fencing, and so on, his uncle will personally teach him. Our Little Goldfish will become as good as his uncle.”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t answer, but the smile on his lips widened a lot.
The nurse said casually, “Young Master Luo also has to hurry up and find a beautiful aunt for Little Goldfish; maybe… your children can accompany Little Goldfish in the future.”
“…”
Luo Lingsheng ignored this sentence.
Luo Yu knew that the nurse had misspoken and motioned for the other party to leave the bedroom first. Then she continued the conversation by teasing Little Goldfish.
“Baby, it’s hopeless for your uncle to find you an aunt, but in the future, he can find you a little uncle, okay?”
“Little uncle?” Luo Lingsheng subtly repeated the address.
“That’s right, let uncle hurry up and catch him, so there will be one more person in this world who loves our dear Little Goldfish, right?”
Little Goldfish in his swaddling state randomly pinched Luo Yu’s hand, laughing so hard that even his grape-like eyes became crescents.
This child had not cried much since he was born. Besides eating and sleeping every day, he was always smiling when he woke up. Even the nurse commented that this was one of the most carefree babies she had ever seen.
Luo Lingsheng liked this little nephew from the bottom of his heart and responded for the first time with a smile, “I’lI will try my best to catch your little uncle as soon as possible.”
Someone opened the master bedroom door again as soon as his words fell.
Sheng Zecheng entered the room with a thermos bottle, and when he saw the two siblings sitting opposite each other, he smiled calmly and said, “Lingsheng, you’re here.”
“Brother-in-law.”
Luo Yu took Little Goldfish into her arms and asked her husband with a smile, “Didn’t you say you would come around one o’clock? It’s just after twelve o’clock.”
“I came here after finishing the matter early.” Sheng Zecheng said, carefully opening the thermos.
In an instant, a scent wafted out.
“This is the pork rib and yam soup I stewed for you according to Sister Zhang’s instructions. Before I went out to do errands, I asked the maid to simmer it on a low fire.”
“It’s not past lunchtime yet. Do you want some?”
As Sheng Zecheng said, he didn’t forget to ask Luo Lingsheng, his brother-in-law, “Lingsheng, have you eaten? Would you like a bowl too?”
Seeing Sheng Zecheng’s care for his sister, Luo Lingsheng replied softly, “No need, brother-in-law; I still have things to do and am planning to leave.”
Luo Yu also replied, “You can leave it for now. I will drink it in the afternoon.”
“Ok”
When Sheng Zecheng heard that Luo Lingsheng was going to leave, a trace of alertness flashed across his face, “By the way, Lingsheng, I happen to have something to discuss with you. Shall we go out and talk?”
“Ok.”
Luo Lingsheng said goodbye to his sister and nephew, then he got up and followed Sheng Zecheng out.
The two walked to the relatively quiet staircase, and Sheng Zecheng said straight to the point, “Lingsheng, I recently heard that Old Master Luo’s private medical team has been moving quite frequently? Do you know the specific situation?”
Luo Lingsheng shook his head, “The old man has always kept this kind of thing a secret.”
Once the news leaked out, there would be wolves everywhere, vying for a share of the family property.
Sheng Zecheng nodded slightly, revealing the truth of this conversation, “I have something to tell you; I found a mole in the company these two days. He confessed to lessen the severity of the crime; it was planted by the first house.”
It’s nothing more than commercial methods like framing and slandering their company’s financial problems, which can lead to a temporary seizure by the relevant departments, and then they would take the opportunity to break the capital chain, affecting the follow-up normal cooperation.
“It’s not only been a day or two that the first house has been on the move. Although our Sheng family can’t compare with the Luo family, we’re involved with the fourth house…”
The first house wanted to destroy the Sheng family. This move was obviously aimed at the fourth house, which was equivalent to destroying their first layer of support.
“I, Sheng Zecheng, can protect my wife and children without having to cling to the Luo family. I know that neither you nor dad have any intention of competing for the Luo family’s property…”
Sheng Zecheng paused, and said earnestly, “Even if you don’t want to fight, you should make a plan early.”
“Brother-in-law, I understand what you mean.”
Luo Lingsheng nodded, but did not say anything clearly for the time being.
In fact, they had been secretly transferring assets abroad since a year ago.
If the Luo family really fell apart, they would rather give up the distribution in Old Master Luo’s will and move the whole family abroad to set up their own business and seek peace.
“It’s good that you know and have a countermeasure.”
Sheng Zecheng patted Luo Lingsheng on the shoulder, showing his brother-in-law’s attitude, “You can discuss anything with me. If I hear anything, I will also tell you and Dad first.”
“En, brother-in-law, take care of my sister.”
“Naturally.”
When Sheng Zecheng returned to the room, Luo Yu was just finishing feeding Little Goldfish, “Lingsheng has left?”
“En.”
There were still some milk stains on Little Goldfish’s lips. He instinctively pursed his lips; his face was puffy and pink, looking sweet and adorable.
“Are you tired? Should I hold him instead?”
“I’m not tired. How can I get tired holding my own child?”
Luo Yu patted Little Goldfish; her motherly love was about to overflow. She leaned in closer to kiss his cheek lightly, then softly murmured.
“Baby, mommy loves you very much today and will love you for the rest of her life; you also have to love mommy for the rest of your life too, okay?”
Sheng Zecheng didn’t interrupt the tender moment of his wife and son, but simply sat around them from the side and responded with a smile, “I love you guys too.”
“Yuyu, let’s accompany Little Goldfish to grow up together.” Sheng Zecheng stared at his sleeping son, thinking about the future.
“We watched him babble and toddle, watched him go to school and learn, graduate and work, and then meet the person he loves and start a new family ……”
“En, that sounds great.”
…
Luo Lingsheng returned to the car and refreshed the social media page on his mobile phone as usual. Shi Yunnan, who hadn’t posted for a long time, suddenly uploaded a promotional picture, the content of which was very simple—Wen Yibei will hold his first solo concert in a month.
The two are twins, so it’s normal for Shi Yunnan to make publicity.
Luo Lingsheng stared at the promotional panel for a while and finally made a decision deep in his heart.
He dialed his assistant’s number, and not long after, the assistant picked up and said, “Hello, President Luo?”
“I’ve sent you the relevant pictures; help me get a VIP ticket to the concert.” Luo Lingsheng said it concisely.
The assistant on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while and then answered after confirming the relevant situation.
“President Luo, there’s only one month left until the show starts. I guess the VIP tickets are all private gifts. Even if they were on sale, they should be sold out, unless there are recycled tickets, which are sold at a high price.”
“”I want it no matter how much it costs; the closer the location is to the VIP central area, the better.”
Nine out of ten, as Wen Yibei’s younger brother, Shi Yunnan would attend the concert, and if he went, he would take a good seat in the VIP area.
The assistant received Luo Lingsheng’s affirmation and quickly responded, “Okay, President Luo. I will find you a ticket as soon as possible.”
“En.”
Luo Lingsheng hung up the phone, and a glimmer of light overflowed from the depths of his pupils.
This secret had been hidden long enough.
If this prediction was correct, it was time for him to strike head-on.
…
A month later.
Luo Lingsheng, who was dressed in formal attire, sat quietly in his seat. He held his mobile phone and looked at the news on the webpage casually, but in fact he was quite nervous inside.
He was obviously not sure if he could meet that person, but he still came all the way here for the possibility.
There were more and more people around, but the figure he wanted to see wasn’t among the crowd.
Three minutes before the opening, the overhead lights of the audience dimmed.
Luo Lingsheng turned off his phone screen out of courtesy, and when he reached for the five-digit ticket in his pocket, he suddenly felt a little silly.
“Excuse me, please make way.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted Luo Lingsheng’s thoughts, and he raised his eyes uncontrollably.
Just in front of him, Shi Yunnan, who was wearing a beige overcoat, bent over and walked in. After a long time, the other party’s hair had grown to the neck and even been dyed a golden brown.
Even in the dim environment, Shi Yunnan’s skin was extraordinarily fair.
Shi Yunnan was followed by a young and handsome foreigner with a crew cut.
Luo Lingsheng had seen this person’s photo on Shi Yunnan’s social media. He was Shi Yunnan’s college roommate, named Northon.
While Luo Lingsheng was thinking, the young man named Northon met his gaze briefly.
“Northon, sit here.”
In the next second, Shi Yunnan called out to draw his roommate’s attention back.
The two of them finally found the right seat and sat down. Shi Yunnan thankfully proclaimed, “So close. We’re almost late to the opening.”
“If I’m late on an occasion like today, I’ll definitely be beaten by my brother.”
Luo Lingsheng looked at Shi Yunnan, who was sitting obliquely in front of him, and his mood, which had already sunk to the bottom, instantly rose to the top. He felt that this high-priced ticket was well spent.
Northon, who came with him, sat down excitedly and looked around the concert hall, saying, “Onan, this is my first time attending the live performance; thank you for the free ticket.”
“You’re welcome.”
Shi Yunnan smiled.
In fact, the two free VIP tickets were originally scheduled to be one for him and one for his friend Fu Ziyu.
As a result, Fu Ziyu rejected his kindness, saying, “No, no, what’s so great about this cello playing? Making me stay in formal wear for three hours on such an occasion is worse than making me go to a bar to bounce.”
This was a matter of preference, and there was no way to force it. Therefore, Shi Yunnan had no choice but to invite Northon instead.
The three-minute countdown ended.
The main character of the concert, Wen Yibei, slowly appeared on the stage wearing a white tuxedo. The applause immediately rang out with his appearance.
The performance soon kicked off.
Shi Yunnan stared at Wen Yibei, who was playing unrestrainedly on the stage with a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were tinged with starry wetness.
The two of them had promised in front of their mother when they were young, but now only Wen Yibei had fulfilled the promise.
Meanwhile, he not only lost the qualification to pick up the violin again but was also afraid that no one would listen to him play in this life.
Shi Yunnan suppressed the strange sourness and murmured enviously, “That’s great.”
“What?” Northon didn’t hear clearly.
“I said, my brother is really great!” Shi Yunnan hid his emotions with a smile, but at the same time he was a little proud from the bottom of his heart, “See? He’s the focus of everyone in the audience.”
Luo Lingsheng, who was sitting quietly in the back row, couldn’t hear Shi Yunnan’s words, but his deliberately restrained gaze never left him.
During the three-hour performance, even though only Shi Yunnan’s side profile could be seen, Luo Lingsheng’s mood still fluctuated slightly with the other’s words and deeds.
Among all the people in the audience, you are my only focus.
The performance ended smoothly.
Luo Lingsheng sat silently until all the people in the front row had left, then got up and picked up the seat ticket that had been accidentally dropped on the floor.
VIP seats, number five in the fifth row, it’s Shi Yunnan’s birthday.
Luo Lingsheng rubbed the ticket, hesitated for two seconds, and put it in his pocket, sticking it to his own ticket.
Luo Lingsheng remembered the ticket for the insider afterparty that his assistant had asked for him and finally made up his mind.
It’s time for them to take this opportunity to get to know each other formally.
At the same time, Shi Yunnan, who left immediately after the performance, was waiting in the backstage area.
The staff brought in the celebratory flower baskets and bouquets and placed them in order. The rich fragrance of flowers instantly filled the entire space.
Wen Yibei went to thank his mentor and staff after the performance. Shi Yunnan knew that the other party was busy, so he wasn’t in a hurry to meet him. While waiting, he slowly admired the bouquets and the blessing cards on them.
Suddenly, among the cards full of blessings in English, a card written in Chinese caught his attention.
—I wish Mr. Wen a smooth performance and a healthy family.
Staring at this different kind of blessing card, Shi Yunnan couldn’t help chuckling, “Which friend from China wrote this?”
It’s common to send flowers to a solo recital to wish the performance a success, but how can you add family well-being at the end?
Shi Yunnan consciously counted himself in the scope of Wen Yibei’s family and accepted this written blessing with peace of mind.
He could hardly conceal his curiosity and was just about to pick up the card and check the signature hidden in the petals when a call came from behind him.
“Yunnan, why don’t you go in?”
Shi Yunnan stopped what he was doing, turned around, and approached his brother, “Brother, congratulations on your successful performance.”
“Thank you.” Wen Yibei hugged his younger brother’s back, wanting to be intimate like a family, “Go into the inner room and wait a bit while I’m changing my clothes. You and your friend should follow us to celebrate later.”
“Ok.”
…
At the Viana Hotel, which was only three blocks away from the concert hall, a grand celebration banquet was about to be held.
Luo Lingsheng, who arrived ahead of schedule, successfully entered the banquet hall, silently waiting for Shi Yunnan’s arrival. He was finally able to express some of his suppressed emotions.
The unprovoked and violent knocking on his heart became increasingly difficult to stop as time passed.
There was a commotion at the door, and at the same moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Luo Lingsheng opened it and saw that it was a cross-country call from Luo Yu.
“Sister?”
“Lingsheng, can you buy the nearest flight back now?” Luo Yu went straight to the point, and there was a little tremor in her usually warm voice.
Luo Lingsheng realized something was wrong and asked, “What happened?”
“Lingsheng, grandpa died of a sudden heart attack. Now the first house has “invited” Mom and Dad over on account of their status, I’m afraid something will happen to them.”
A concise and shocking sentence, like a bomb that exploded without warning.
Old Master Luo, who had been in power for nearly seventy years, passed away suddenly. The Luo family was destined to change.
Hua: Luo Yu and Sheng Zecheng both seem like sweet people. But they’re about to die wuwuwuwu. That’s why I refuse to read the extras for so long T_T
