Husband?

I miss you?

Shi Yunnan’s bold and sweet expression was like a dropping bomb.

Luo Lingsheng looked at Shi Yunnan, who was close at hand. His eyes were clearly exasperated and more cunning than a fox, but the corner of his mouth seemed to hook upwards.

It seemed that this person was always like this. He could make trouble anytime, anywhere, without any sense of proportion.

Luo Lingsheng even suspected that if he wasn’t sitting in a wheelchair, Shi Yunnan would have done even more provocative actions, purely for the purpose of scaring those people.

At this moment, the four people headed by Luo Yanchuan were completely dumbfounded.

Wasn’t it you, Shi Yunnan, who splashed the wine, smashed the glass, and used a knife to stab people… It was clear that both sides were at fault. Why did you still act spoiled and wronged?

Ke Wei’an clutched his scratched arm, and asked his friend in pain and repression, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say that Shi Yunnan is your marriage partner? Why is he related to your uncle?”

Luo Yanchuan frowned and subconsciously answered, “That’s impossible.”

From the time he learned that the two families were discussing a marriage, to the time he resisted and left home to hide, to the current restaurant encounter, it was only about three days.

How did Shi Yunnan meet Luo Lingsheng, and also called out ‘husband’ so intimately? This person must be playing with them!

Just as the speculation crossed his mind, Shi Yunnan leisurely got up and approached them, “Impossible?”

He took out the red book in his pocket and conspicuously waved it in front of the four people, “If you are not blind, you must have seen this clearly. Freshly baked legal husbands.”

“If Luo Lingsheng is not my husband, is he yours?”

The two-person photo on the marriage certificate was taken very well.

Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan were very close side by side, looking like a natural match.

“……”

The four of them got stuck again, and their faces were uglier than the other.

What to do now? They thought he was a small quail that could be easily pinched, but behind him was actually an untouchable big Buddha?

Shi Yunnan admired their deflated expressions, and couldn’t help but turn to Luo Lingsheng for justification, “I told you the marriage certificate photo should be taken well. Sooner or later, I have to show it to people who have no eyesight.”

“……”

Luo Yanchuan stared at the two people nestling together to talk about the marriage certificate. Just like in the blazing fire that ignited after an explosion, the emotion called embarrassment seemed to swallow him whole.

He couldn’t understand why–

A second ago, he was still the marriage partner that he despised, but the next second, he had hitched a ride with his ‘little uncle’, the patriarch of the Luo family, and also received a marriage certificate?

What the hell is going on?

Luo Yanchuan tried to retrieve his calm voice, “Little uncle, you really got the certificate? But he and I clearly…”

“Shi Yunnan is my marriage partner, it has nothing to do with you, do you understand?” Luo Lingsheng bluntly interrupted him. His eyes darkened, which easily gave people the illusion of swearing sovereignty.

Luo Yanchuan felt the pressure in those words, “…understood.”

Luo Lingsheng maneuvered the wheelchair closer, his chilly eyes swept over Ke Wei’an and others one by one, “Qin Jian, who are these three young masters?”

As his personal assistant, Qin Jian usually followed him to attend many banquets of wealthy families. One of his advantages was his memory.

He recognized them after a couple glances. Then he proceeded to report the industrial chain made by their families without error.

Ke Wei’an and the two Ning brothers were so frightened that they didn’t dare to step out, each of their bodies was straighter than a pole.

Luo Lingsheng rubbed his fingers and tapped and spoke in a calm voice, “I haven’t seen Mr. Ke and Mr. Ning for a long time. When you go back, say hello for me.”

“My bodyguard’s hand wasn’t light. Some other day, I will personally invite them and the three young masters to a banquet to make amends.”

“……”

The three of them were so frightened that they didn’t dare to respond at all.

After mixing around for such a long time, they naturally knew about Luo Lingsheng’s status among the wealthy families in the imperial capital. This person was not someone they could provoke. What banquet? What making amends? It must be a Hongmen banquet1!

If this matter reached their father’s ears, they would inevitably receive a good beating!

Ke Wei’an was still somewhat tactful, and hurriedly took the blame, “Luo, Patriarch Luo, we accidentally broke the glass on the ground. This injury is not related to the bodyguard brother. It was because we fell and hurt ourselves in the fight!”

“Yes Yes Yes!”

“We fell by ourselves, we fell by ourselves!”

Ning Yong and Ning Yuan echoed the sentiment. Their faces were pale, no one was able to distinguish whether they were hurt by the wound or frightened by Luo Lingsheng.

Luo Lingsheng was unfazed. His stern knife-like gaze slashed toward their wound, “Is the wound serious? Do you need my assistant to take you to the hospital?”

The three men’s heads were shaken in unison like a rattle.

Send them to the hospital? Don’t don’t don’t, even if they were not sick, they would be scared into being sick!

“We’re f-fine! We have thick and rough skins, so we can deal with it by ourselves! N-No need to bother you!”

Ke Wei’an swallowed his saliva nervously, he couldn’t wait to get out of this danger, “Patriarch Luo, if there’s nothing else, can we leave first?”

Without waiting for Luo Lingsheng to give consent, Shi Yun Nan, who was standing at the side watching the good show, stopped them from fleeing, “Wait.”

“……”

He casually pointed to the wine stain on his shirt, and the spoiled food on the table, “These two are your handiwork, right? Where’s the apology.”

Ke Wei’an and others were very reluctant deep in their hearts, but under this circumstance, they had to sincerely bend over again and again to apologize with red faces.

Shi Yunnan hooked his lips in satisfaction, and cunningly turned his gaze to Luo Yanchuan, hinting, “Everything would have been fine if you were like this earlier, no? I have nothing to do with you guys, why do you have to ask for trouble?”

Ke Wei’an was enlightened and gave the main culprit a vicious look——

That’s right!

If Luo Yanchuan hadn’t said that Shi Yunnan was a marriage partner he didn’t like, how would they dare to mess with him? Now it appeared that Shi Yunnan was the one who couldn’t bear to look at him?

F*ck, Luo Yanchuan is lying right? As a result, this bullshit got them into trouble!

The three of them left the restaurant in a frenzy with no way to vent their anger. They intended to settle the account with Luo Yanchuan afterwards.

Knowing that Ke Wei’an and others had misunderstood, Luo Yanchuan’s face faintly flushed, but now the fact that Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan got the certificate was in front of him, he couldn’t justify what he said.

Luo Yanchuan stood in place, his mind buzzed and disordered, “Little uncle.”

The two of them were actually just five years apart, but for him to call Luo Lingsheng by his first name, there would always be an invisible psychological pressure.

To Luo Yanchuan, the other party was like a giant mountain.

He was not resigned and wanted to go beyond it, but he couldn’t accomplish it in the short term, so he had to bow his head.

“Your marriage with Shi Yunnan has been annulled, and both parents have no objections. As for you two, both of you are running away from marriage so vigorously. There should be no objection now, right?”

This was said to Luo Yanchuan, but Luo Lingsheng still deliberately glanced at Shi Yunan.

Shi Yunnan met his gaze, then he smiled calmly and brightly, “Of course I have no objection, husband, I have you, how can I look at ordinary people?”

For some reason, Luo Yanchuan always felt that his chest was blocked with a breath of air that could not go up or down.

He thought Shi Yunan was a bloodsucker who came to block him, but he didn’t expect to be reduced to a clown in front of the other party instead.

Luo Yanchuan gritted his teeth in silence, “Uncle, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave too.”

Luo Lingsheng nodded, and a sharp gleam passed through the depths of his pupils, “Yanchuan, your parents are contented and reserved people. Learn from the good, not the bad. You should put away the thoughts you shouldn’t have.”

This was said simply, as if it was just to keep Luo Yanchuan away from Ke Wei’an’s group of alcoholic friends.

Luo Yanchuan was startled, “I just got together with them to have fun, nothing else.”

After saying that, he obtained Luo Ling Sheng’s permission and left with quick steps. At the moment he turned his back, his respectful look disappeared completely.

The hands hanging on both sides unconsciously gathered into fists, as if suppressing some hostility.

Shi Yunnan watched Luo Yanchuan’s petty action through his peripheral vision and snorted with deep meaning.

Luo Lingsheng noticed the deviation of Shi Yunnan’s vision, and his thin lips pressed slightly. He spoke out to pull the other party’s attention back, “Didn’t I tell you to take a taxi home this morning?”

Shi Yunnan shrugged, “I got married unprepared and didn’t bring much back to China, so I wandered around the nearby business district to do some shopping.”

Because the Luo Group was nearby, Shi Yunnan also specially sent Luo Lingsheng a WeChat message–he said he was going to eat at this restaurant and asked if Luo Lingsheng would like to join him.

But he didn’t get a respond.

Seeing this, Shi Yunnan plans to go back after dinner. How could he expect to meet these people who had nothing better to do?

Therefore he sent another WeChat message to Luo Lingsheng—”What a coincidence ah, I met my former marriage partner, husband, aren’t you jealous?”

Shi Yunnan remembered his two Wechat messages that sank into the sea and deliberately asked, “Mr. Luo, why haven’t you replied to my Wechat messages? Were you very busy and didn’t see them?”

Luo Lingsheng got stuck for a moment, and replied lightly, “After the meeting is over, I plan to come here for dinner.”

It was not that he didn’t want to reply, but he couldn’t think of a good wording. After all, it was inappropriate to be too close or too unfamiliar.

In fact, after receiving Shi Yunnan’s second WeChat message, Luo Lingsheng couldn’t sit still. He specially asked Yuan Meng to come here early, lest the young man cause trouble.

Shi Yunnan didn’t say whether he believed it or not, and jokingly asked, “I thought that Mr. Luo came for a date with me on purpose? After all, it’s our first day after getting the certificate, it’s not right for us not to have a romantic candlelight dinner, right?”

Luo Lingsheng acquiesced to his proposal, “Let’s change the restaurant.”

Shi Yunnan smiled and occupied the position behind Luo Lingsheng, taking the initiative to push the wheelchair out.

“What are you doing?” Luo Lingsheng didn’t like this kind of help.

Shi Yunnan was not afraid of his resistance at all. He leaned close to the man’s ear and whispered, “There are waiters in the restaurant peeking at us, we must pretend to be intimate.”

The warm breath brushed over his ear, arousing a strange numbness.

Luo Lingsheng tilted his head for the first time, and was a millimeter away from being able to touch those warm and soft lips.

Shi Yunnan stared at the man’s excessively close, handsome face. It was obviously a joke, but his heart unconsciously missed a beat.

He hastily pulled himself away and pushed the wheelchair out “… Anyway, go home first, I’m not comfortable with the dirty stains on my clothes.”

Luo Lingsheng pushed his glasses silently, the traces of smile in his eyes seized the chance to slip out, “Go home for dinner? What do you want to eat?”

Shi Yunnan replied subconsciously, “Fish, the kind that was deboned.”

“Good.”

The two walked away.

Witnessing all this, Qin Jian took the initiative to bump Yuan Meng’s shoulder and asked keenly, “Meng Meng, do you see anything?”

Yuan Meng quickly blushed when he heard this awkward address.

One of them was in charge of the patriarch’s daily affairs, and the other was responsible for the Patriarch’s travel safety.

He was obviously a 1.85 centimeters veteran. Although he was a simple and honest person, he could handle a group of people with one punch. As a result? Every day, he was teasingly called ‘Meng Meng’ by a colleague with poor combat ability.

No one could stand this.

Yuan Meng hurriedly walked outside as Qin Jian followed, “Don’t be shy, I want to ask you something.”

“I don’t know anything, I’m not as smart as you.”

Qin Jian stared at the two figures in the front walking side by side, and make a guess, “I predict that the Patriarch and second young master Shi are going to turn this fake show into a real thing.”

The author has something to say:

#I also have a prediction. Another day of the little fox digging himself a pit! Another day of inner dark pleasure for the patriarch!

A trap or a situation ostensibly joyous but in fact treacherous. It is a historical references that took place in 206 BC at Hong Gate outside Xianyang, the capital of the Qin dynasty. Source at Wikipedia.
