CH 40.2

As soon as the two came out, they heard Yuan Rui’s scolding.

“Why didn’t you make sure that no one was inside? It’s five or six minutes before knock-off time. How come you shut down the power and lock the door in advance?“

“Shi Yunnan is a designer hired by our Yuan family. If something happens to him, who will take responsibility?“

The master worker on the side was red-faced and explained apologetically, “Young Master, I, I really know I was wrong. When Mr. Lu brought him in, I didn’t pay attention. I also didn’t know that Mr. Xie came to see you.“

“Later, I saw that you brought someone out, so I thought there was no one in the warehouse.“

Today, all the master workers in the jade factory finished work early. In addition, it was his daughter’s birthday today, so he hurried home to accompany his family.

In fact, it was only five or six minutes short. The master worker locked the door and shut down the electricity in accordance with his shift duties. Who knew that such an unexpected mishap would happen?

The door was locked to prevent theft, and the electricity was cut off to avoid short-circuit fires that may occur during thunderstorms, which were all in line with Yuan’s regulations.

As they spoke, they saw the figures of Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng.

Yuan Rui immediately walked up to Shi Yunnan and sized him up, “Are you all right? I came back as soon as I got the call from my brother.“

After learning that Shi Yunnan was locked inside the warehouse, Qin Jian quickly called Lu Zhao’an to explain the situation under Luo Lingsheng’s instruction. Then, Lu Zhao’an, who had gone to Lin Province, called today’s shift worker and Yuan Rui, respectively.

In less than ten minutes, everyone rushed back.

If it happened to other people, it was nothing more than waiting for a small moment to solve the problem. Although Shi Yunnan was claustrophobic, he didn’t want to appear unreasonable.

“I’m fine. It just so happened that my phone ran out of battery and I was in a bit of a hurry.“

Moreover, this incident was a blessing in disguise.

Because of this matter, Luo Lingsheng revealed his feelings, and he himself didn’t suffer any serious injury, so Shi Yunnan could afford to let it go. He would not blame others for their unintentional mistakes.

Yuan Rui pondered for a moment and sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think this through. I shouldn’t have left you alone.“

Shi Yunnan chuckled, “The last time I asked you to apologize, you were very stubborn. This time I said it was okay, but you still apologized? Yuan Rui, your temperament is really cute.“

“…..”

Hearing his overly obvious ridicule, Yuan Rui’s ears flushed slightly, and he immediately put on a pretentious manner.

“Hey, it’s best if you’re fine. In the future, you should come earlier if you want to see the material. Don’t encounter similar problems again, lest everyone…”

The word ‘worry‘ stuck in his throat.

Yuan Rui felt that the meaning of concern in the second half of the sentence was too obvious, so he changed his words to, “So as not to delay this young master’s dinner.”

Shi Yunnan smiled and said nothing.

Qin Jian said, “Patriarch, shall we go back first? I’ve asked the private doctor to wait at home.“

Luo Lingsheng nodded.

Shi Yunnan agreed, “It’s getting late, it’s better to go back early.”

Yuan Rui and the master worker looked at each other and did not stop their departure.

When Shi Yunnan’s figure completely disappeared from the jade factory, Xie Keyue walked up silently from the side.

Yuan Rui rushed back as soon as he received the call. As a friend, he could only follow the return journey.

Xie Keyue concealed the displeasure in his pupils and asked casually, “Yuan Rui, when did your relationship with Shi Yunnan become so good?”

“Ah? No, no way.”

Yuan Rui covered his lips sheepishly. He didn’t mention to Xie Keyue what happened in the nightclub or the jade carving shop last time.

Unfortunately, Yuan Rui was a person who put everything on his face. How could Xie Keyue not see his evasion?

Xie Keyue suppressed the displeasure in his heart in silence and turned around with bitterness welling up on his face, “It’s good if you don’t have anything to do with him. I just feel that Shi Yunnan seems to have surpassed my status as your best friend.“

“…..”

Yuan Rui stared at Xie Keyue’s overly obvious expression. He was really afraid that his concealment would hurt his friend’s feelings, so he quickly explained, “No, Keyue, you went through a lot of bad things some time ago. That’s why I didn’t tell you.”

“I met Shi Yunnan twice. I don’t think he’s…” Yuan Rui paused, then glanced at Xie Keyue cautiously, “Aiya! I just think he’s not as bad as you said!“

“But I’m not saying you’re bad. I just think there’s a misunderstanding between you and Shi Yunnan. After all, you guys are a family.“

“Family? If he’s my family, would he plot against me and cause me to lose so much money?” A trace of hostility erupted from the bottom of Xie Keyue’s eyes.

He looked at the empty entrance of the jade factory, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger—

Why?

He went through a lot of trouble to live a better life, but why did Shi Yunnan always block his way step by step?

It’s okay that Luo Lingsheng was bent on Shi Yunnan.

Even Yuan Rui has changed now? Obviously, he knew Yuan Rui earlier than Shi Yunnan.

The result of it?

Why did Yuan Rui waver after only three or four meetings with Shi Yunnan behind his back? Why!

“Keyue?”

Seeing that his friend didn’t respond, Yuan Rui immediately became nervous and said, “Don’t be angry. I know that you and Shi Yunnan don’t have a good relationship. You are my friend. I haven’t had contact with him in private, really! “

“I just can’t keep my mouth shut. It’s a no-brainer for me to say those words. I’ll treat you to a big meal, okay? “

Seeing Yuan Rui’s attitude, Xie Keyue knew that he couldn’t be too impulsive at this time, so he put on a good-natured smile again, “How can I be angry with you?”

“However, I came to you today because I have something to talk to you about.“

Yuan Rui immediately followed his topic, “What is it? Just say it!“

“I want to support and invest in your family’s jade resources, mainly related to the design of jade jewelry. If it’s convenient for you, can you make an appointment for me to meet your father?“

When Yuan Rui heard this, he immediately let out an inexplicable cry, “Ah? You also want to engage in jade jewelry design?“

…

10 p.m.

After arranging everything, Shi Yunnan walked straight to the door of Luo Lingsheng’s bedroom. The door was open and could be pushed forward easily.

Shi Yunnan hesitated for a moment, but still knocked on the door, “Luo Lingsheng, can I come in?”

A steady answer came from inside: “Come in. The door was left open for you.“

When Shi Yunnan heard this, his mood suddenly improved, and he went straight in.

Luo Lingsheng had also cleaned up, and now he was leaning against the headboard while holding the tablet to check the summary report of the branch companies.

After they returned to Luo’s house from the jade factory, the personal doctor Qin Jian called, was already waiting for him.

Shi Yunnan was aware of his physical condition. The doctor confirmed that he was all right after asking a few serious questions.

On the contrary, Luo Lingsheng’s legs slammed to the ground violently at the warehouse, so his situation was unknown.

For him, who mostly couldn’t feel his legs all year round, this matter could either be big or small.

Everyone was not at ease, so they persuaded Luo Lingsheng to go to a private hospital for a comprehensive examination of his legs. After going back and forth, the time was delayed until now.

“Are your legs all right?”

“It’s fine.” Luo Lingsheng replied with an understatement.

In fact, it was a little bit painful, but he wasn’t sure whether it was good or bad. He didn’t dare say it rashly so as not to cause Shi Yunnan and others to worry.

However, he will truthfully report the matter to the foreign medical team.

The two looked at each other quietly. Luo Lingsheng looked at Shi Yunnan, who was dressed in pajamas, and his mind moved slightly, “You’re not sleepy yet?”

Shi Yunnan sat on the bedside and leaned closer. A low, provocative humming came out of his throat, “I can’t sleep, so I want my husband to hold me to sleep.”

Luo Lingsheng smiled faintly and turned over the neat quilt, “Come here.”

They were all adults. Since their relationship had been confirmed, it was natural to be more intimate.

Shi Yunnan didn’t hesitate and quickly laid down beside him.

Luo Lingsheng was no longer in the mood to read the report. He adjusted the light source of the bedside lamp to a suitable position before he moved his body to lie down, “Are you still angry?”

“Not angry.”

Shi Yunnan knew that Luo Lingsheng was referring to their conversation in the training room, so he tentatively moved closer to the other man’s embrace, “I know you didn’t mean it.”

Luo Lingsheng was aware of his intention, so he began to open up more.

“After the car accident, I couldn’t face myself like this for a long time. Because other branches wouldn’t stop fighting, I missed the best time for treatment…“

When all the dust settled, Luo Lingsheng went to domestic and foreign hospitals, and the answers were similar—

From “There’s not much hope for a cure, but we can try.” to “It’s been dragged out for too long, It’s better not to force it. Just take good care of your body. “

Doctors are kind-hearted, but they won’t give patients empty promises because of their status. The truth is what it is.

Luo Lingsheng suffered blow after blow, and to be honest, he was already numb to the matter of his legs.

He naturally knew how those wealthy families were afraid of him on the surface, while belittling him behind his back. They were willing to flatter him only because of his status and power.

Luo Lingsheng has his own pride. The more he was criticized behind his back, the more he was unwilling to give up.

Therefore, he built his own rehab training room and recruited a professional medical team to work for the Luo family. But after rehabilitating again and again, the effect was basically the same as standing still. He’d be lying if he said he was not disappointed.

Inferiority, resentment, anger.

Luo Lingsheng had so many emotions accumulated in his heart that even he himself despised his legs, so he was even more reluctant to let Shi Yunnan see his undesirable side.

Who doesn’t want to always appear excellent in front of their sweetheart?

Luo Lingsheng was just a human being like everyone else, so he was no exception.

“I went abroad a few days ago and sent you a message, but you didn’t reply. When I came back to the country, I wanted to talk to you, but you ignored me with a cold attitude…“

Luo Lingsheng felt suffocated when he thought of that “sense of loss.”

He thought that he could let Shi Yunnan come and go as he pleased, but when the other party really turned his back on him, he couldn’t accept the fact that their relationship, which hadn’t even started, was already ended.

Fortunately, tonight’s episode gave him a chance.

Shi Yunnan guessed this would be the case. He sighed and asked, “What did the medical team there say?”

“I can have an operation, but the chance of success is very small.”

As Luo Lingsheng said this, his voice sank a little bit, “If it fails, then there is no chance.”

A silence broke out.

Luo Lingsheng’s breathing gradually tightened, and once again he handed Shi Yunnan the options, “I won’t force you to stay or leave. If you think I will become a burden in the future, then you can…”

“Isn’t there a chance of success? I know you won’t give up. ” Shi Yunnan stepped in.

He could see that, with Luo Lingsheng’s character, even if there was only one chance in a million, he would be resolute enough to attempt it.

Luo Lingsheng didn’t say anything, but the answer was confirmed—

He had already decided to go through with the operation, but the specific time had to wait for the medical team over there to discuss the most suitable plan.

“Luo Lingsheng, do you really like me? That kind of like that has nothing to do with everything else. “

Shi Yunnan met his eyes and asked the question seriously.

Luo Lingsheng’s palm brushed the side of his neck with unparalleled attentiveness, “Of course.”

Shi Yunnan smiled, and a large stone on his heart fell off quietly.

He didn’t want to mention the so-called “white moonlight” at such a time, so as not to spoil the atmosphere.

Since Luo Lingsheng was willing to attach importance to this relationship, he believed that the other party was serious about being with him. In other words, no matter who that “white moonlight” was, Shi Yunnan was confident—

He will take that person’s place little by little, until he has completely replaced him.

Of course, the only bottom line that Shi Yunnan could not accept was that Luo Lingsheng regarded him as a substitute for that “white moonlight.”

If this was the case, he would leave the other party without hesitation.

“Listen, Lou Lingsheng, I admit that I was just playing around at first. On top of trying to restrict the Shi family with your identity and getting the results I wanted, I indeed agreed to this bullshit proposal because of your appearance.“

“But I’m really not interested in your and the Luo family’s money.”

Luo Lingsheng laughed softly, “I know.”

Of course, he wouldn’t force Shi Yunnan to like him from the very beginning. He felt lucky to have gotten to where he was today.

“I’m used to joking, but I don’t joke about feelings.“

“Luo Lingsheng, I’m sure that I like you and Little Goldfish very much. Maybe over time, I’ll fall in love with you and treat Little Goldfish as an inseparable family member.“

“…..”

“If you want to have an operation, go ahead. I’ll share the good and bad results with you. I don’t care if you will always be in a wheelchair in the future. What I care about is you as a person.“

Luo Lingsheng didn’t say a word; he just held him a little tighter.

Shi Yunnan felt that what he said was too sentimental. He paused and added jokingly—

“If you’re really afraid of me running away, then hide our marriage certificate. No matter where I run to, the information will always show that you’re my other half.“

Luo Lingsheng smiled, “Mischievous.”

Shi Yunnan’s eyes overflowed with joy, and he leaned closer to entice him, “I have something even more mischievous. Would you like to try it with me, Mr. Luo?“

“How to try it?”

The two people’s breathing was wrapped together again. Shi Yunnan took the opportunity to kiss the corner of his lips. He suppressed the shyness and excitement in his heart and gathered his courage, “Husband, kiss me again, that kind of deep French kiss~“

Hua: I’ve changed the release schedule to three times a week~ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
