Chapter 40

       Li Zhenruo reacted quickly, and when he saw Yue Zijia hanging up the phone, he stretched his body out and yawned loudly.

       So when Yue Zijia turned around, she saw that Li Zhenruo had already stretched halfway. At the same time, he threw his body forward on the fence of the balcony, as if he had just walked over.

       As he saw Yue Zijia looking at him, Li Zhenruo turned his head. He politely smiled first, then looked a little puzzled before he came to a realization, “We’ve met before, right?”

       When Li Zhenran took him to the private restaurant for the first time in his human form, he met Yue Zijia. But he didn’t know if Yue Zijia was still remembered.

       Yue Zijia smiled, “You still remember me, you are a friend of Second Young Master Li, right?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I am his assistant.”

       Yue Zijia didn’t know whether to believe it or not and just maintained a gentle smile. She extended a hand, “My name is Yue Zijia.”

       Li Zhenruo secretly cursed Li Zhenran for giving him the name of Li Tuanzi on his ID card. He had no way to say that name, so he could only say, “My name is Jason.”

       Yue Zijia’s smile remained unchanged, but her eyes flickered, “Jason? Did Zhenran tell you that you and his brother have the same English name?”

       Li Zhenruo nodded, “Yes, I am still considering if I should change it or not so that he doesn’t think of his brother when he calls my name.”

       Yue Zijia smiled and said, “You’re nothing like his brother. You shouldn’t.”

       At this time, a staff member of the foundation asked Yue Zijia to come over in front of the banquet hall, and Yue Zijia could only say goodbye to Li Zhenruo, “I still have some things to do. Let’s get together with Zhenran when we have a chance in the future.”

       Li Zhenruo nodded, “Okay, beautiful jiejie.”

       Yue Zijia bowed her head slightly, and smiled a little shyly, “I’ll go first.”

       When Yue Zijia walked past Li Zhenruo and walked towards the banquet hall, Li Zhenruo looked at her back, and his smile slowly faded, who was she calling?

       When he heard Yue Zijia say “you Li family” just now, his first reaction was that she was calling Li Zhentai because it couldn’t have been Li Zhenzi or Li Zhenran. But later, Li Zhenruo suddenly had an idea, could it be Li Jianglin?

       Could everything be self-directed by Li Jianglin? After knowing that he was not his own son, he asked someone to do the appraisal, and then put on a show to show him that he was not his own son?

       But why does he need to do that?

       Li Jianglin could personally come out and throw the appraisal document in front of him and tell him to get out of the Li family. There was no need to cower and hide behind people like this. In contrast, it was Li Zhentai who was much more suspicious.

       Li Zhenruo felt that his heart was beating so fast. He had been focusing on Li Zhenzi, but now it seemed that he was probably wrong. Maybe Yue Zijia was not Li Zhenzi’s mistress but was simply Li Zhentai’s mistress.

       He originally made an excuse to follow Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia, but now he really didn’t want to go in. He leaned forward slightly against the railing of the balcony and looked into the distance, but his mind was full of Li Zhentai.

       Li Zhentai had a lukewarm personality since he was a child, his grades were average, and his appearance was not as outstanding as his three younger brothers. This kind of eldest son did not please his father, but Li Zhenruo felt that he could get along well because there was no sense of aggression.

       The relationship between him and Li Zhentai was not good, but it was not as cold as Li Zhenran, and there was less conflict as it was with Li Zhenzi. He knew that Li Zhentai was also unhappy with the situation, and he didn’t expect Li Zhentai to be on his side, but to be so cruel to him like this. To be honest, Li Zhenruo felt a little uncomfortable.

       With his palms on the metal railings, he could feel a touch of coldness even on a midsummer night. There was air conditioning in the banquet hall, but the heat outside was unbearable. Li Zhenruo stretched out his hand to pull on his clothes and bow tie, trying to loosen it up to relieve his inner suffocation.

       An arm suddenly went around his side and grasped the railing, and he felt someone behind him.

       Before turning his head, Li Zhenruo was keenly aware that it was Li Zhenran’s scent.

       “What are you looking at?” Li Zhenran asked him.

       Li Zhenruo was silent for a while. He rested his elbows on the railing and propped his face with his hands. He said, “It’s so boring, when will it be over?”

       Li Zhenran said, “You’re the one who wants to come.”

       Li Zhenruo said truthfully, “I was wrong.”

       Li Zhenran patted his head, “Let’s go first.”

       That evening, Li Zhenran donated 200,000 yuan to Ren’ai Charity Foundation’s charity project to help abducted and trafficked children and left with Li Zhenruo first.

       In the car, Li Zhenruo was somewhat in a bad mood.

       He rested his head on Li Zhenran’s shoulder.

       Li Zhenran sat with his back on the seat and didn’t move. After a while, he raised his hand and stroked his hair.

       Li Zhenruo put his hands around Li Zhenran’s waist and leaned himself completely in his arms.

       The driver glanced at them from the rearview mirror and asked Li Zhenran in a low voice where he was going now.

       Li Zhenran said, “Home.”

       The driver hesitated, “Back to the Li residence?”

       Li Zhenran answered “Um”.

       The driver obviously found it strange. He didn’t understand how Li Zhenran dared to bring a boy home so blatantly, but he always listened to orders and didn’t ask questions. He didn’t ask any more questions and sent Li Zhenran home in silence.

       Back home, the driver parked the car in front of the fountain, waited for the two to get out of the car, and drove to the garage.

       Li Zhenruo grabbed Li Zhenran’s arm and saw that the living room light was still on. He whispered, “Wang Ma is still awake.”

       At this time, even if Li Jianglin was not asleep, he would definitely be in his room or in his study, and Wang Ma would be the only one watching TV with the lights on in the living room.

       Li Zhenran turned his head and asked him, “How are you going to get in?”

       If Li Zhenruo went in now, he would definitely be seen by Wang Ma. He didn’t want to be exposed to the Li family like this.

       Li Zhenran’s question meant that he should change back into his cat form and go back, but Li Zhenruo was a bit reluctant and said, “I’ll climb in through the window from the back.”

       Li Zhenran smiled when he heard the words, “Go ahead.”

       After he finished speaking, he even ignored Li Zhenruo and walked toward the house by himself.

       Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment and thought that Li Zhenran was not afraid of him running away, so he just left him alone, it was really annoying! But no matter how much he complained in his heart, he still obediently walked to the side of the villa, raised his head and looked up. And after a while, he saw the light coming from the window of Li Zhenran’s room.

       Li Zhenran opened the window, stuck his head out and hooked his fingers.

       Li Zhenruo took off his jacket, tied the sleeves around his waist, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, pressed his hands on the windowsill on the first floor, and climbed up.

       Sure enough, a person’s ability to climb a wall was far worse than a cat’s, Li Zhenruo thought to himself as he reached for the pipe next to him, and tried to climb the pipe to the second floor.

       Suddenly, there was a fierce barking sound from downstairs.

       Li Zhenruo slipped his foot on the fixed area of the pipe and almost fell. He turned his head and saw a big golden retriever running in his direction.

       Zhu Kai was at home from time to time, and he lived outside with his dog from time to time. No one was there this morning, and Li Zhenruo didn’t know why he came back with the dog at this time.

       When Erhuang saw someone climbing the window, he dutifully barked and ran over to catch the thief.

       Because it was very well-behaved on weekdays and never barks indiscriminately. Today, when Erhuang made such an anxious call, it could only mean there was some special situation at home.

       Li Zhenruo suddenly became flustered. At the same time, he heard the sound of someone walking out as the door of the front living room opened.

       As soon as he closed his eyes, holding the water pipe, he changed back to the appearance of a cat and quickly ran off the fence. It was just that the clothes all over his body were scattered in an instant, and the coat fall over Erhuang’s head at once. Erhuang turned around twice in horror in the sudden darkness, and its scream became even more miserable.

       “What’s the matter? What’s the matter?” Wang Ma had already run over, and the person who followed closely behind her was Zhu Kai.

       Li Zhenruo rushed to the third floor and carefully looked out from the windowsill, only to see his clothes on the ground, and even a pair of underwear hanging on the water pipe. Li Zhenruo was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

       Zhu Kai raised his head and looked upstairs. He also saw the underwear hanging on the water pipe. He looked puzzled, looked in the direction of the second floor, and then tilted his head to look at the third floor.

       Li Zhenran’s room was under Li Zhentai’s room. Li Zhentai and Wen Chun went to Saipan to take wedding photos during this period of time, and there was no one in the room at all.

       Wang Ma was still startled, “Who is this? Throwing clothes all over the place?”

       Zhu Kai said, “Zhentai is not here, is Zhenran drunk?”

       Li Zhenruo hurriedly turned back to find Li Zhenran but found that the window was still open, but Li Zhenran was not in the room at all.

       “It’s mine,” Li Zhenran’s voice suddenly came from downstairs.

       It turned out that after seeing Li Zhenruo causing trouble, he had already gone downstairs, ready to clean up the mess for him.

       Zhu Kai laughed twice, “Ran ge, are you a heavenly maiden scattering flower in the middle of the night? Your underwear is still hanging on the water pipe.”

       Li Zhenran heard the words and glanced upstairs, and saw Li Zhenruo who had retracted his head.

       He said, “I put my dirty laundry in a basket on the windowsill and it was overturned by the cat,”

       Wang Ma replied, “So that’s how it is. I’d say since it was already late at night, it shocked me.”

       Li Zhenran smiled and said, “I’m sorry, it seems that Erhuang was also frightened.”

       After he finished speaking, he squatted down and started picking up clothes. Wang Ma quickly helped him and said, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it, I’ll pick it up and wash it.”

       Li Zhenran handed the clothes he picked up to Wang Ma.

       Zhu Kai was still wearing pyjamas. At this time, he patted Erhuang on the head and said, “Go to sleep now and don’t make a fuss about nothing.”

       It was a pity that Erhuang couldn’t speak. It was still in a trance and didn’t understand how a person suddenly turned into a cat just now.

       Wang Ma packed up Li Zhenran’s clothes, raised her head and looked at the panties hanging on the second floor, and wondered, “What should I do? I’ll ask someone to take it with the ladder tomorrow morning, it’s too late today.”

       Li Zhenran said, “It’s alright, I’ll clean it up, you can go and rest.”

       Zhu Kai yawned, waved to Li Zhenran, and left with the dog.

       Wang Ma also left with his clothes in her arms. Before leaving, she told Li Zhenran to go to bed early.

       Li Zhenran returned to his room on the third floor. After he entered the door, Li Zhenruo was still standing by the window sill, looking at him. He came over and patted the cat’s butt, “Go and pick up your panties.”

       Li Zhenruo himself felt embarrassed. He climbed out and went down the pipe, hooked his panties off with his claws, and returned to Li Zhenran’s room with the panties in his mouth.

       That night, Li Zhenruo felt a little tired. What should he say, it was the feeling of exhaustion both physically and mentally after going through a major event. His entire self couldn’t lift his spirits, but he really couldn’t fall asleep even if he lay down.

       He was too lazy to take a bath, so he maintained his cat form and asked Li Zhenran to take him to the bathroom to wash him.

       After he took a shower, he had his hair dried with a hairdryer. The wind was soft and warm, and the soft fluff was lazily brushed, and his entire body couldn’t help but relax.

       When it was time to sleep, Li Zhenruo lay beside Li Zhenran’s neck. After a while, he rolled over on his back, stretched his tail out from under his butt, raised his paws and looked in the dark.

       It was not that it was more difficult to replace Li Zhenzi with Li Zhentai, but this feeling of doubting his past brothers one by one was too uncomfortable. If he was to redo it all over again, if he choose not to fight, not be greedy, and be a dandy young master peacefully, would he encounter these things?

       The cat’s claws were small and cute, but the nails were sharp.

       Li Zhenruo sometimes felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of life, and he was very happy because he was content with the status quo. But he just couldn’t forget and let it go, and his revenge could only be avenged by himself.

       He was in a depressed mood when Li Zhenran who was lying besides him suddenly grabbed Li Zhenruo by his cat ear.

       Because he was too focused on being melancholy that he didn’t notice when Li Zhenran woke up, and was taken aback.

       Li Zhenran’s voice was drowsy, “What are you doing? Do you know that your ears keep moving and sweeping around my face and it’s very annoying?”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t say a word and raised his paw to try to snatch the ear back from Li Zhenran’s hand.

       Li Zhenran released his hand and turned his back to him and continued to sleep. Li Zhenruo tugged at his ears, followed Li Zhenran and put his head on his shoulders. He then closed his eyes to sleep.

       The next day was the weekend.

       During a rare holiday, Li Zhenran slept in bed with his cat in his arms.

       And Li Zhenruo also didn’t want to get up because he was in a bad mood. He woke up long ago, but seeing that Li Zhenran was still asleep, he put away his sharp claws and touched Li Zhenran’s lips with his toe beans.

       He moved very lightly, touched Li Zhenran’s lips and immediately retracted his claws, and then lightly touched the bridge of his nose.

       Under Li Zhenruo’s repeated harassment, Li Zhenran grabbed Li Zhenruo and threw him out of bed. He then turned over and continued to sleep.

       Li Zhenruo crawled back immediately, this time crawling on his shoulders, pressing his tail with his paws, and scratching his nose.

       Li Zhenran slowly opened his eyes and gave him a cold look.

       Li Zhenruo immediately turned around and jumped out of bed, and ran to the windowsill before looking back at Li Zhenran.

       Li Zhenran sat up, but instead of chasing after him to settle the account, he raised his hand and covered his face for a while before getting out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.

       Li Zhenruo stared at the bathroom door for a while and suddenly heard someone talking loudly from downstairs. He couldn’t help turning his head to look and saw Zhu Kai standing by the swimming pool, instructing two workers at home to clean the swimming pool.

       Unbeknownst to him, it was already the hottest time of the summer. Because Li Zhenran and his brothers had been out most of the time, and no one asked to clean up the swimming pool. Today, Zhu Kai was probably interested and asked Wang Ma to call someone to clean it up early in the morning, so that in the afternoon, he could swim in the water.

Chapter 18 – How old is Lu Shifeng

Chapter 18 – How old is Lu Shifeng

 

Jian Luo turned around stiffly and sure enough, not far away, Lu Shifeng was standing there.

 

Lu Shifeng stood at the entrance of the potato base. The man leaned lazily against the door, his slender legs overlapped and his posture was languid. He slightly raised his phoenix eyes and those distant eyes met Jian Luo’s.

 

Jian Luo was ashamed.

 

His face was blushing and his neck was thick. He was so embarrassed that he could not wait to find a hole to hide in.

 

Wu Qiang was prideful. He finally found something to fight about and hurriedly walked in front of Lu Shifeng; “Sir, as you heard just now, that human being was really bold and dared to slander your reputation. I can’t listen to it anymore, please take it seriously!”

 

Jian Luo fell into a panic.

 

He never thought of this! Turns out that Wu Qiang was baiting him here this whole time!

 

Jian Luo hurriedly took a few steps forward towards Lu Shifeng. Before he could speak, he heard Lu Shifeng say, “Was this your urgent household matter?”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment before he nodded stupidly: “Yes, yes.”

 

Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes: “You stood me up for this person?”

 

“…”

 

Don’t make trouble without reason!

 

I was just here to work!

 

Wu Qiang was even more confused when he heard this standing next to him. He originally wanted to fight, but after hearing what he said, does this mean that it was really possible that Jian Luo knew this lord?

 

Thinking of this, he panicked a little.

 

Wu Qiang stammered: “Sir, I…”

 

Lu Shifeng’s eyes sharpened as he glanced at him condescendingly, his voice cold: “Did I let you speak?”

 

Wu Qiang was stunned, Lu Shifeng’s aura was too strong. Just his eyes were so shocking that others would freeze on the spot and dare not speak.

 

Jian Luo was also standing frozen by his side.

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids to look at him: “You should speak up.”

 

“Well, my lord. I had no intention of standing you up. I came here in the first place to deal with some matters.” Jian Luo tried to reason with him: “Have you forgotten?”

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a sneer: “Are you saying that it was my fault?”

 

Jian Luo quickly corrected himself: “No no no, it’s my fault, my fault.”

 

Wu Qiang was still stunned, not knowing the truth.

 

Lu Shifeng finally turned his attention to him: “Earlier, what did you say he slandered me for?”

 

Wu Qiang could feel it.

 

In fact, the relationship between Jian Luo and the lord was not good. Otherwise, with Jian Luo’s character, why didn’t he complain to the lord as soon as he came up, but was being so polite?

 

Besides, if Jian Luo really had such a big shot supporting him, why didn’t he say it before?

 

To sum it up, the relationship between Jian Luo and this person couldn’t be a couple’s relationship at all.

 

Thinking of this, Wu Qiang became more courageous: “Sir, Jian Luo just said he is in an intimate relationship with you, but I realised that he was just using your name to gain some privileges for himself.”

 

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the air.

 

After a long time

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyes and looked at Jian Luo: “Was that what you said?”

 

“…”

 

For a moment, Jian Luo thought about refusing to admit it, but after thinking about it, Lu Shifeng must have heard it from the door just now, so if he doesn’t admit it now, wouldn’t he be extra guilty?

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo had to bite the bullet: “Well, that’s what I said.”

 

Wu Qiang hurriedly followed up: “Sir, you see he just admitted it. You must deal with such dishonest people who spread false rumors.”

 

Lu Shifeng stood up a little bit. The man’s body was tall and straight, and he was more than half a head taller than Wuqiang. He raised his eyebrows: “I’ll use you to demonstrate to them how it should be done?”

 

Wu Qiang was stunned.

 

In the back, Lin Ze, the manager of the human base has also arrived at this moment. He found Lu Shifeng and was chasing after him in a panic. As soon as he came, he saw this embarrassing scene, especially after seeing that Wu Qiang was also here. It gave him an ominous feeling.

 

Lin Ze hurriedly said, “What’s the matter?”

 

With a shallow smile on Lu Shifeng’s elegant face, “Mr. Lin, you sure have some remarkable talent here.”

 

Lin Ze glared at Jian Luo immediately: “What’s going on!?”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened innocently: “Are you asking me?”

 

Lin Ze originally just wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson and show Lu Shifeng his power, but what he never expected was that he picked the wrong person.

 

Almost as soon as he spoke the words, Lu Shifeng’s brows furrowed and the temperature in the entire garden dropped by one degree.

 

Lu Shifeng looked at Lin Ze with a cold voice: “What are you calling his name for?”

 

Lin Ze shuddered and was so frightened: “I…I…”

 

Wu Qiang also saw the problem. It turns out that this Lu Shifeng really was Jian Luo’s big backer, so wasn’t he basically screwed now?

 

Thinking of this, he hurriedly admitted his mistake: “Sir, you have misunderstood. In fact, there were just some small problems between me and Jian Luo. Just now I was too blind to know know my place and didn’t know the relationship between you and him. I know that I’m wrong now, I know now.”

 

As he was talking, Wu Qiang faced Jian Luo again: “Jian Luo, Jian Luo, forgive me. I didn’t mean it, okay?”

 

Because Lin Ze came here, almost half of the people in the cultivation base gradually gathered around. Before, Wu Qiang had done a lot of bad things here, and they all didn’t expect him to be in such a pinch now. Almost everyone had been bullied by him before, and they all rejoiced in their hearts.

 

Jian Luo took a step back: “You don’t have to apologize to me, the person you wronged is my mother.”

 

Wu Qiang quickly looked at Su Liang.

 

Su Liang turned her face away and didn’t want to look at him again.

 

“Hmph.”

 

Wu Qiang actually knelt down. He kowtowed to Su Liang, raised his hand and slapped himself: “I’m sorry, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. I shouldn’t have tried to r4p3 you before and I shouldn’t have framed you for stealing things, let alone use power to suppress you, please forgive me.”

 

Crisp-sounding slaps resounded in the air. (T/N: The sound of Lin Ze – the manager slapping Wu Qiang)

 

Everyone was stunned.

 

As a manager, Lin Ze even reprimanded himself in his heart. It was not easy to have someone of Lu Shifeng’s level come to inspect the base. It was a great opportunity, but it was all ruined by a fool like Wu Qiang!

 

“That, my lord.” Lin Ze carefully considered: “Consider this…”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at Wu Qiang indifferently, he didn’t even occupy a small space in his mind at all and he just said indifferently: “Don’t let me see him again.”

 

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief: “Yes, yes.”

 

Even Wu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Lu Shifeng was a cruel and violent person. The person who offended him basically never lived till the next day. Just now, he almost thought he was going to die, but now he could still survive!

 

The farce was finally coming to an end.

 

Lin Ze wanted to continue to show Lu Shifeng around. When Lu Shifeng just passed by Jian Luo and Jian Luo bit the bullet, saying, “I may have to stay and go through with some formalities.”

 

Lu Shifeng left without saying a word.

 

Lin Ze also gave Jian Luo a meaningful look before leaving.

 

Afterwards, Jian Luo stayed behind to handle the resignation procedures for his mother. He knew that even if his mother resigned from here, the group of people in Peace Paradise who witnessed the scene with Lu Shifeng would feel hard-pressed not to share it.

 

After returning home at night, the first thing Su Liang did was: “Luoluo! Are you really a couple with him?”

 

Jian Luo confessed: “No, no, Mom. Do I have the capability?”

 

“Tell the truth!” Su Liang pulled him into the room and closed the door before raising her voice: “Do you know who he is? He is Lu Shifeng. What I told you before, have you forgotten? You, you… Did you really have sex with Lu Shifeng!?”

 

Lu, Lu Shifeng?

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened and he laughed: “Mom, don’t make fun of me. Do you know how old Lu Shifeng is? He is six or seven hundred years old and has half a foot in the coffin. Look at the lord today, I think he is 30 at most.”

 

Su Liang was silent for a while: “Luoluo, the life expectancy of the dragon family is tens of thousands of years. If they are six or seven hundred years old in terms of human age, they are about the same age as you.”

 

“…”

 

There was a dead silence in the air.

 

Jian Luo recalled the conversation with Lu Shifeng on the battleship today and said slowly, “It seems that it’s me who’s got half of my foot in the coffin.”

Chapter 17 – Lu Shifeng is the boyfriend

Chapter 17 – Lu Shifeng is the boyfriend

 

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

 

Jian Luo was keenly aware that there seems to be something wrong with the current atmosphere. He was actually quite observant. Now it seems that the lord was in a bad mood?

 

But why?

 

It seemed to due to the question of whether Marshal Lu was old or not.

 

That’s right. Who liked to be told that their leader was old? Wasn’t the person who said it just waiting to be slaughtered?

 

Sure enough, he was stupid!

 

Jian Luo hurriedly covered it up: “I don’t think Marshal Lu is old at all. He is wise, valiant, and his style is still the same. He is an idol in the hearts of our people, and a wise Confucian lantern that leads the way forward!”

 

Lu Shifeng squinted his eyes. Slowly, an elegant smile was evoked from the corner of the man’s mouth and he said, “You haven’t seen him before.”

 

“…”

 

Nonsense, who had nothing better to do than to go and meet the legendary king of hell?

 

Jian Luo hesitated to answer: “This will not hinder the image of the Marshal in my heart.”

 

“Image?” Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: “I’m afraid you don’t even know what he looks like.”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes flickered as he casually said: “How can we small citizens have the honor to see the true face of the Marshal?”

 

Lu Shifeng tapped his fingertips: “What school did you graduate from?”

 

Jian Luo’s voice fell for a moment.

 

Lu Shifeng waited for a while, then raised his eyebrows impatiently: “Where?”

 

This man was someone who fought bloody battles in the orthodox battlefield. When his aura was spread out fully, it gave others an extreme sense of oppression, which made them subconsciously have to obey, without the slightest disobedience.

 

Jian Luo shivered all over as he racked his brains and finally remembered the name of the school that his younger brother had mentioned: “Clear Spring’s College.”

 

Lu Shifeng was slightly surprised: “It’s quite a famous school.”

 

“Well.” Jian Luo knew that the original owner of his body did well: “You have hit the jackpot. It was my honor to be able to enter Clear Springs.”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids to look at him. The man’s eyes were pitch-black, and it was as if a dangerous fog was brewing in them. Seeing this, Jian Luo’s spine went cold and he was at a loss.

 

This was too difficult.

 

It’s so hard to talk to this man.

 

Knowing this, he might as well pack up and go to the base by himself. Staying here to chat with this lord was like being tortured on a fire stand.

 

Half an hour later

 

Lu Shifeng withdrew his gaze: “When working in the military, one should be careful with their words and deeds.”

 

Jian Luo raised his head: “Huh?”

 

“Otherwise.” Lu Shifeng paused, his voice lazy but dangerous: “Even I wouldn’t know how he died.”

 

The word “death” seemed to contain a murderous aura that was boundless.

 

Jian Luo shivered and quickly nodded like a primary school student: “I know, I know.”

 

Originally, he still had a little doubt about what his mother words said about the dangers of the military. Now he completely believes it. Like really, completely believes it. Lu Shifeng’s men are dangerous. It couldn’t be that Lu Shifeng himself must also have eaten people?

 

Sitting next to him, Jian Luo felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

 

Lu Shifeng looked at the information in his arm and asked, “Someone in your family works at the base?”

 

Jian Luo nodded like he was pounding garlic.

 

“How is the environment there?” Lu Shifeng asked slowly, “How are the working conditions and status quo?”

 

“…”

 

How should I know this!?

 

Jian Luo casually thought up some perfunctory lines: “It’s okay, it’s all good. The folk’s customs are simple and everyone is rooted in work, 12% of it is devoted to cultivating vegetables.”

 

Although Jian Luo himself didn’t like that group of people very much, he couldn’t mess up a major event like this that could affect the future of mankind. If someone made a mistake, some of them will be punished, but all of mankind was relying on that base, so he must say a lot of good words.

 

Lu Shifeng nodded: “It seems that you take your work seriously and responsibly.”

 

Jian Luo pounded his head like garlic: “Naturally.”

 

As they talked, the place drew closer.

 

When the warship landed, Jian Luo was almost relieved. Now he would rather go out and chat with Wu Qiang than be happy here.

 

Lu Shifeng stood up and walked outside. The little Jian Luo followed immediately, only to see the hatch open slowly ——

 

“Welcome welcome, a warm welcome!”

“Welcome welcome, a warm welcome!”

 

Outside the warship stood a dark crowd of people, and against the wind there was a banner floating back and forth in the air, which read: [A warm welcome to the leader of the military for the base inspection].

 

Lu Shifeng glanced back at Jian Luo, as if he was teasing him a little.

 

There was quite a lively atmosphere outside.

 

Jian Luo couldn’t bear it and looked away. He really couldn’t take it any longer. He laughed twice: “As long as you like it.”

 

Lu Shifeng was about to go down, but Jian Luo didn’t follow.

 

The man stopped after two steps, and said in a low voice, “Follow me.”

 

Jian Luo pressed softly: “I’m not the leader of the inspection. It’s not appropriate to keep up, right?”

 

Lu Shifeng made an “en” sound.

 

Jian Luo let out a sigh of relief.

 

“If you don’t come down now, then don’t come down at all.” Lu Shifeng dropped the sentence and stepped down the stairs of the warship.

 

Jian Luo was shocked and compelled by his domineering aura. He stepped out hastily: “Coming, coming.”

 

Among the group of people below, Wu Qiang stood in the front row.

 

Wu Qiang, as the only representative of someone in the entire Peace Paradise who was married to a Dark Star, was honored as one of the people in the front row to welcome the guests.

 

As the people from the military got closer and closer, everyone drew their attention towards the person behind Lu Shifeng.

 

Finally, someone started muttering:

“Do you think that child looks a little familiar?”

“Why is he so similar to Luoluo?”

“I think it’s Luoluo!”

“Go quickly and call Su Niang!”

 

Wu Qiang, who was standing in front, was very displeased when he heard this, so he frowned: “What occasion was it right now, why are you talking about that here?”

 

Everyone shut up.

 

Wu Qiang lowered his voice: “How capable is Jian Luo that he can follow Marshal Lu? It’s just someone else who looks a bit similar, what’s the fuss about?”

 

When he said this, others slowly felt that this was also the case.

 

Finally, Lu Shifeng stopped in front of the leader of the cultivation base. The middle-aged man stepped forward: “Hello, sir. I’m Lin Ze, the leader of the base and I am honored to be able to receive you. It really makes our morale flourish!”

 

Lu Shifeng said lazily, “Well, take me in to have a look.”

 

Lin Ze made a “please follow me” gesture: “Okay, okay. Please come with me, sir.”

 

Jian Luo fell behind and had to follow. He regretted it in his heart. If he knew that it would be such a big scene, he would not come with the lord if it was all right. Once this was over, the whole Peace Paradise will probably know about it

 

Trouble will surely follow.

 

As Lin Ze walked, he also looked at Jian Luo. Hesitating, he asked: “Who is this?”

 

Behind Lu Shifeng’s, an adjutant said, “Do you have the right to inquire about people in the military?”

 

Ye Ze quickly corrected himself: “Yes, yes. What you said was just. It’s just that he looks a bit like a child I know.”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Originally, someone like him who didn’t have a job was not qualified to enter the base. Now that he was one of Lu Shifeng’s trusted entourage, he could come in for sightseeing. Moreover, the standard treatment was not low either

 

When Ye Ze led the landing and locked the visiting ship in the hangar, Jian Luo stood outside like a tool man and waited foolishly.

 

The adjutant came over and said, “Are you our chef?”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

“Then you…” The little adjutant glanced at him ambiguously before asking meaningfully, “Why did you come here with us?”

 

Jian Luo said honestly, “Because I was also headed here, the kind lord gave me a ride.”

 

The little adjutant nodded slightly.

 

In fact, he didn’t believe a word!

 

Was Lu Shifeng ever kind? This was today’s international joke.

 

Jian Luo’s information bracelet lit up. When he saw that it was a message sent to him by Su Liang, he said to the little adjutant, “I got a message from my family. I have something to do, so I will go over first. Can you let the lord know for me later?”

 

The little adjutant didn’t dare: “Hey, don’t leave yet, wait for the lord to come out…”

 

Jian Luo’s wristband was still ringing and he was a little anxious: “It’s okay, the lord knows that I’m here to deal with family affairs, so I’ll go first.”

 

After finishing his words, Jian Luo quickly ran away.

 

The little adjutant was stunned. His respect for Jian Luo suddenly surged like a river. He dared to stand Lu Shifeng up, the number one person in the universe!

 

On the other side,

 

The Potato Plantation.

 

Su Liang anxiously waited for Jian Luo to come over and said in surprise, “Luoluo, I heard them say…”

 

Jian Luo interrupted her first: “Mom, this is just a small incident, you don’t have to worry, I’m fine. Today, I’m here to handle your resignation and the incident with Wu Qiang. Don’t be afraid, after today, we will never come back again.”

 

Su Liang’s beautiful face was full of worry: “Forget it, the incident with Wu Qiang will pass.”

 

“No.” Jian Luo took her to the office: “For now, we can’t move away, so if we don’t finish this matter, we will never have peace in the future.”

 

In the planting base, anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from Peace Paradise. Only when Wu Qiang is dealt with, can their family be truly at peace.

 

“Yo, isn’t this Jian Luo?”

 

A harsh voice came from behind.

 

Jian Luo turned around, his face turned cold: “Wu Qiang.”

 

Wu Qiang’s appearance was still wretched, he touched his nose as he approached: “Hey, what is Jian Luo doing here this time, resigning for your mother?”

 

Jian Luo smiled and said: “The resignation is about to be done. Since you are here, I will also do it for you on the way, how about it?”

 

Wu Qiang’s expression changed: “Jian Luo, watch what you say.”

 

“I’ve been paying attention to what I’ve said.” Jian Luo stood up straight and did not change his expression: “For someone like you, this is already saving face for you.”

 

Wu Qiang: “What a sharp mouth. Did you know, we saw a person who looks just like you when we went to wait for the ship. They said that he looked like this? Were they okay? Were their brains conscious?”

 

Jian Luo sneered: “How do you know it’s not me?”

 

“Is it really you?” Wu Qiang smiled exaggeratedly and bent over, his ugly face full of irony: “Why don’t you piss off and take care of yourself first before hiding behind the lord. Oh yes, I remember the last time you said you had a boyfriend. What’s the matter? You wouldn’t also say that he’s your boyfriend too, would you?”

 

Su Liang was frightened after hearing this and pulled Jian Luo’s sleeve.

 

Jian Luo felt that the carefulness he had taken to come all this way with the marshal had finally come in handy. Didn’t the lord bringing him here give him some leverage?

 

A good trump card cannot be wasted and needs to be used!

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo cleared his throat: “So what?”

 

Su Liang tugged at his sleeve again.

 

Jian Luo finally couldn’t bear it any longer: “Mom, don’t stop me, I’m just talking, if you have something to say, we can talk about it later.”

 

“No.” Su Liang finally found the opportunity: “Mom means that the lord has just arrived and has been watching!”

 

“…”

 

You could have mentioned this earlier.

Chapter 29 – Do you want to give red envelopes?

Chapter 29 – Are you going to start giving red envelopes?

 

Qi Yun was really tired today and fell asleep quickly. Xing Zhongwan waited for him to fall asleep and carefully pulled off his clothes to take a look. There were wounds large and small, all were terrible. Qi Yun still didn’t say how he was injured. This person was actually very stubborn and he wouldn’t say anything he didn’t want to say when he opened his mouth.

 

Xing Zhongwan closed the door and went back to his room. It was not to avoid suspicion. Although he already knows what Qi Yun thinks about him, what can he do to him as a disabled person? Xing Zhongwan was not a hypocrite, he just wanted to make things clear for himself.

 

Back in the room on the second floor, he took a bath and lay on the bed. Staring at the ceiling in a daze, he raised his hand and looked at the delicate bracelet on his wrist. Annoyed, he dug his hands into his hair. He really did not expect the situation to develop into what it is in the present. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t respond to Qi Yun’s feelings and intentions, but he still wanted to help him. Qi Yun’s situation was not good. Even if the Shen family was helping him on the surface, there was another group coercing them behind the scenes. Otherwise, the blood clot in Qi Yun’s brain would be detected by the doctor from the very beginning, and not dragged on till today. This sort of ‘familial love’ was really frightening.

 

From Qi Yun’s mother’s side, he heard that he made a deal with Madam Qi in exchange for marrying him. Although he didn’t understand what Qi Yun’s motive was, it could not be that he really wanted him to stay. Did he have no other way to legally keep him by his side? Madam Qi and the Shen family’s behaviour is doubtful and Xing Zhongwan’s head hurts when he thinks about it. He came back to help his mother move into the family grave and along the way, also helped her repay a favor. Why was this so complicated that he had to involve himself in two big families?

 

Xing Zhongwan gritted his teeth, desperately hypnotizing himself. He is here to overcome this tribulation, yes to overcome…

 

For the Xing Zhongwan that came to overcome this hardship, while it was not known if he mentally overcame it or not, he was suddenly shocked by a loud thump coming from upstairs.

 

Xing Zhongwan’s room was just downstairs from Qi Yun. The sound made Xing Zhongwan wake up instantly. He pulled the quilt and ran upstairs. Sure enough, when he opened the door, Qi Yun had fallen down with his quilt. He hurriedly walked over and picked him up, only to find that Qi Yun was soaked all over. As soon as he felt Xing Zhongwan, Qi Yun hugged him tightly, his voice trembling, “Where have you been? Wanwan, where have you been?”

 

Xing Zhongwan didn’t think much, “I was downstairs? What’s wrong, want to go to the bathroom?”

 

Qi Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head, “I dreamed that you were gone.”

 

There was a dampness in the clear and light words and Xing Zhongwan’s heart trembled. Sliding away the sweaty bangs on Qi Yun’s forehead, it reminded Xing Zhongwan of the lotus flower after the rainstorm that he saw in Jiangnan when he was a child, trembling but lovable.

 

“I’ll change your clothes, you’re sweating.” He turned to leave but Qi Yun grabbed him, “Don’t go.”

 

Xing Zhongwan said helplessly, “I won’t leave, but if you sleep like this without changing your clothes, you’ll catch a cold.” Qi Yun’s hand slowly loosened and Xing Zhongwan went to the closet to get clean pajamas. He pulled Qi Yun’s clothes off and the wounds on his body were soaked by sweat. Xing Zhongwan turned on the water and wiped him clean little by little before reapplying the medicine and putting dry pajamas on him. He sighed a breath of relief.

 

“I’ll sleep next to you.” Xing Zhongwan said before spreading the quilt.

 

Qi Yun took his hand and said, “Sleep here, it’s very late.”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked around, “Where?” Qi Yun’s neck slowly turned red and Xing Zhongwan realized that he referred to his bed, together.

 

Without thinking, Xing Zhongwan refused. However, before he even opened his mouth, Qi Yun lowered his eyes, “Don’t refuse me.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s eyes twitched, “How are two big men going to sleep here? I’ll have to be careful not to squeeze you. You still have some injuries.”

 

Qi Yun’s face turned even redder, “I won’t do anything to you, don’t worry.”

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

Even if you really want to do something to me now, you won’t be able to do it, right?

 

Xing Zhongwan was not a hypocrite either. It was too late and he was tired, so he simply lifted the quilt and lay inside. Fortunately, Qi Yun’s bed was big enough so Xing Zhongwan didn’t have a hard time sleeping. He couldn’t help but yawn, “Go to sleep, go to sleep. I’m exhausted.”

 

In a trance, a hand stretched out and gently held Xing Zhongwan. Xing Zhongwan subconsciously broke free but when he couldn’t break free, he muttered, “How can you act like such a child?”

 

Qi Yun turned his face to the side and could feel Xing Zhongwan’s warm breath on his face. The reality of the situation made the warmth in his heart overflow; out of control. He shifted his upper body before resting his head on Xing Zhongwan’s shoulder and closing his eyes.

 

Awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, Qi Yun was confused by the absence of that familiar breathing sound. He shouted into the night but no one answered. When he rolled off the bed in a hurry, his heavy legs made him unable to move. That Xing Zhongwan had left him again. The frustration of being powerless overwhelmed him and his body turned cold as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. That feeling was even crueler than when he woke up in a car accident and realized that he was a cripple.

 

Qi Yun gradually tightened his grip on Xing Zhongwan’s hand, the strength was so great that Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help but turn to his side, “What are you doing? It hurts.”

 

Qi Yun let it go in a panic but after a while, he quickly grabbed it and held it tightly again.

 

Xing Zhongwan was dazed, “Do you like that so much?”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned to his side and his face was facing Qi Yun. Qi Yun couldn’t help but lean over and touch his face with both hands before kissing him on the mouth.

 

The corners of his mouth curled up, if it weren’t for his unseeing and cloudy eyes, they would be full of love at this time.

 

“That’s how much I like it.”

 

When Xing Zhongwan woke up, he felt a little different than usual. It was warm around him. Ever since he was a child, he had a habit of clinging onto the source of warmth while he slept. Currently, Xing Zhongwan was holding onto Qi Yun like a pillow. His left leg was on Qi Yun’s crotch while his head was resting on his shoulder. This position was too ambiguous, he thinks. However, what was even worse is that his leg was lying on top of Qi Yun’s crotch so he could clearly feel that Qi Yun was hard…

 

With a dark face, Xing Zhongwan carefully moved his leg down. However, as there was some friction, the already hard thing became a little harder. With that, Xing Zhongwan moved his leg more carefully. Just as he was about to turn around, Qi Yun hugged his waist, “Let’s sleep a while more.”

 

Xing Zhongwan opened his eyes wide and looked at the face close up. The sun was shining on Qi Yun’s face, and with a little lighting and some shadows overcast on that visage, the thick but slender eyelashes cast a silver shadow on the bridge of that tall nose when those eyes trembled open. Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and closed his eyes, “Oh God, please don’t tempt me with a beauty in the morning, okay?”

 

Qi Yun smiled, “Am I good-looking?”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s brain exploded as Qi Yun smiled. That cold visage that suddenly turned into something akin to a warm breeze with a hint of coolness could leave a mark inside a person’s hearts.

 

With an already perfect face, such a smile was like a hundred flowers blooming. Xing Zhongwan covered his nose and felt it warming up. He hurriedly pushed Qi Yun away from him and ran into the bathroom.

 

Qi Yun retracted the smile on his face and closed his eyes. If he didn’t feel wrong just now, Wanwan… he was hard…

 

Xing Zhongwan obviously did not recover from the powerful shock of turning hard for a man. Early in the morning, he went to Xue Qing to ask about Qi Yun’s condition. Professor Gao was leaving in two days and time was tight.

 

After chatting with Professor Gao, Xing Zhongwan went to Xue Qing. Xue Qing threw the paper bag in her hand to him, “Here, it’s for you. Seeing that you are in a bad mood early in the morning, Laoniang specially travelled half a city away to buy it for you. Yes, it seems like I really dote on you, huh?”

 

Xing Zhongwan opened it and saw that it was a Chinese mugwort dumpling. Xing Zhongwan loved to eat this because the taste of Chinese mugwort dumplings from their restaurant were the most akin to his mother’s. Every year, when he comes back to worship his mother, he always has to eat a few. He didn’t expect that there is also a branch here.

 

“Hurry up and eat it while it’s hot. Also do tell big sister why it seems like you were run over so early in the morning, huh!?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took out the dumplings and threw the paper bag on Xue Qing’s head, “Go away. Can you talk like a woman? It was you who asked when I’ll be able to marry.”

 

Xue Qing lit a cigarette, “You can do it, Laoniang is going to be a bachelor till her golden years.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a bite of the dumpling and hesitated, “Do you think it’s abnormal for me to have a reaction towards a man?”

 

Xue Qing took a puff of cigarette but forgot to huff out the smoke. She coughed loudly, “What did you say!?”

 

Xing Zhongwan got sprayed by a faceful of spit and Xue Qing calmed down, “Sister will rationalize this for you. It’s a fact that men are more sensitive in the morning and it’s normal to respond to a little stimulation. You don’t need to worry too much to the point of having a psychological breakdown. Just treat it like a normal morning physiological response.’’

 

Xing Zhongwan watched her sprout nonsense seriously, “Get straight to the point.”

 

Xue Qing changed her face in a second, “Lao Xing, could it be that you’ve fallen for Qi Yun?”

 

Xing Zhongwan patted her face, “Impossible.”

 

Xue Qing took a sip of a cigarette, “It’s hard to say for this kind of thing. Haven’t you heard of developing feelings for each other after spending some time together?”

 

Xing Zhongwan: …

 

“It’s impossible to fall in love after spending a long time together, but it might be possible after getting married for a long time.”

 

Xue Qing was successfully choked again. Coughing so hard, tears filled her eyes. She had a ghostly expression,

 

“What did you say?”

 

Xing Zhongwan bit the dumpling, “Marry Qi Yun. Me!”

 

Xue Qing opened his eyes wide, “Are you going to start giving red envelopes?”

 

Hehehe, this time Xing Zhongwan was the one successfully choked by a dumpling…

 


T/N: It’s Chinese tradition that on Chinese New Year’s married couples have to give the little kiddies and those who aren’t married yet red envelopes filled with money. That money is good luck money for the rest of the year BTW.

Hehe, I’m so excited for them to finally be married. Even if it doesn’t really have any legal effect or whatever. It’s not like couples who get married have their relationship automatically qualified to work out till the end of their lives, or whatever. Sorry for being pessimistic ಥ_ಥ

Chapter 16 – Lu Shifeng is old

Chapter 16 – Lu Shifeng is old

 

Jian Luo snorted softly: “I advise you to go back first. Tomorrow we will go to the base and find the leader to watch the surveillance and deal with the matter properly.”

 

Wu Qiang stood up and looked at him fiercely: “You are young, but sure talk big. Just wait, but don’t regret it later!”

 

Jian Luo bowed and said slowly, “Walk slowly, I won’t send you off.”

 

Wu Qiang left angrily.

 

Other onlookers who were eating melons gathered around and watched as Jian Luo said, “Everyone, please go back early, our abode is small, so please don’t stay here.”

 

The onlookers were unwilling at first but in the end they left in a hurry.

 

Jian Luo said to his younger brother, “Go close the door.”

 

The little brother nodded obediently: “Okay.”

 

When the door was finally closed and the entire courtyard regained its tranquility, Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief. She held Jian Luo’s hand: “Luoluo!”

 

Jian Luo helped her into the house: “Mom, next time when something happens, you have to notify me first. I’ll manage to come back today, but if I’m not at home next time, what will you do?”

 

Su Liang sniffed: “Luoluo, what you promised before, have you really talked to the Dark Stars? You haven’t told your mother where you work and how you got so much money!”

 

“Luoluo, tell the truth.” Su Liang stared at him: “Did you cook for the military again? Have you forgotten what your mother told you?!”

 

“…”

 

This was difficult.

 

Jian Luo was silent for a while: “Mom, don’t worry, I…”

 

Su Liang took his hand and said, “Luoluo, I know you have a vague idea of it. Mom knows about your cooking. With your ability, it is possible to become a cook in Sky City’s restaurants, but the military in the palace is dangerous. There may be a war at any time. Those Dark Stars are very strong, but you are only a human, what will you do then?”

 

Jian Luo fell into deep thought.

 

“Mom doesn’t expect you to do anything great.” Su Liang sighed lightly, “I just hope you can be safe, you know?”

 

“…”

 

I am also afraid of death!

 

Jian Luo was reminded of this by what his mother said.

 

If he could pass Moonlight’s interview and obtain the right to cultivate plants and then obtain a household registration as well as do the live broadcast well, he could still live a good life, right?

 

The military was indeed very good, but it was not his home.

 

“I know what’s important.” Jian Luo had an idea: “You are tired today, shall I take you into the room to rest?”

 

Su Liang nodded and said no more.

 

The small house was not very ventilated, narrow and stuffy. Jian Luo went to the kitchen and found a bowl of rice grains. He then boiled them in a pot and cut some shredded meat into it to make a porridge.

 

His younger brother came out: “Brother.”

 

“Oh.” Jian Luo said, “I’m going to wash up. You can watch this here. When the porridge is ready, bring it to mother.”

 

Jian Sheng came over and said, “Okay.”

 

Jian Luo nodded and was about to leave. Halfway through, Jian Sheng called out, “Brother!”

 

Jian Luo paused and turned around: “What’s the matter?”

 

“That…” Jian Sheng hesitated for a long time, but finally smiled: “I just think that you’re so handsome!”

 

Jian Luo was silent for a while before he chuckled lightly, came over and patted his little brother’s head. This little boy has gained a little weight recently, so he must’ve gotten enough nutrition nowadays.

 

He whispered: “Grow up slowly, big brother will be waiting for you to protect me.”

 

His younger brother was full of confidence: “Don’t worry!”

Jian Luo rubbed his head for a bit more before leaving. There are still a lot of things waiting for him tomorrow, he has to think about what to do about them.

 

On the other side – the palace.

 

Dark Star is a constitutional monarchy where the emperor runs the country and has absolute power and control.

 

Lu Shifeng stood in the hall: “Your Majesty was looking for me?”

 

The little emperor was young but the dragon robe he wore said everything that was needed. He nodded: “Uncle Huang, I just thought of a wonderful idea on how to get closer to the people.”

 

Lu Shifeng said lazily, “Your Majesty is wise.”

 

“…”

 

I suspect you’re mocking me.

 

The little emperor coughed lightly: “That’s it, I feel that with the current image of Uncle Uncle, it will be difficult for the people to change their mind in a short period of time. Recently, the human cultivation base is undergoing reforms. It is better for uncle to personally go down to the plantation to inspect to reflect the importance our Dark Star places on them, and secondly, to also appear closer to the people!”

 

Lu Shifeng said lightly: “Your Majesty is wise, but I am busy with official business, I am afraid I will have to disappoint Your Majesty.”

 

The little emperor pouted: “What are you busy with, Uncle Huang?”

 

“Military affairs.” Lu Shifeng went on to mention the perfunctory: “If Your Majesty has nothing else, this minister will excuse himself.”

 

The little emperor hurriedly stopped him: “Hey uncle, don’t leave. Since you only stay in the military base, the daughter of the finance minister has been wanting to see you. You’re not too young anymore. I will ask her to go to the base tomorrow to find you and you can both start dating?”

 

Lu Shifeng stopped in his footsteps.

 

The little emperor was overjoyed and suddenly felt hopeful: “How is it?”

 

Lu Shifeng turned around slowly and his handsome face was finally swept away as he put on a smile: “I suddenly feel that His Majesty’s proposal to go to the human base is very wise. I cannot wait to live up to His Majesty’s wishes.”

 

Little Emperor: “But didn’t you say…”

 

“Military affairs are not as important as His Majesty’s wishes.” Lu Shifeng said slowly: “I will go over and take a look tomorrow.”

 

“……okay then.”

 

The  next day.

 

Jian Luo came to the military base to ask for leave.

Secretary Jin has been living a good life these days. The marshal eats and drinks well, so her work became less. When she has lesser work, her skin condition became better.

 

Jian Luo said, “I’m sorry Secretary Jin. I may have to take a day off. I have something to do at home.”

 

Secretary Jin was taken aback: “What’s the matter?”

 

What will I do if you leave!

 

Jian Luo scratched his head: “It’s just that I have some trouble at home. Um, I might have to take a day off. If it goes well, it will be one day, if it doesn’t go well…”

 

Secretary Jin was alarmed: “What will happen?”

 

Jian Luo thought for a while: “I don’t know either.”

 

Secretary Jin’s heart sank.

 

This doesn’t seem like a trivial matter!

 

You can’t go, how will we live if you go!?

 

Secretary Jin was very positive: “Xiaoluo, if you have any difficulties, you must tell me that our friendship can be regarded as friends. Don’t worry, I will try my best to help you.”

 

Jian Luo was a little moved: “It’s just that my mother got involved with a ruffian, so I’m going to the cultivation base to solve this matter.”

 

Just as Secretary Jin was about to say something, the bell on the table rang. This was the exclusive alarm that Lu Shifeng used to call her. It seems that the demon lord has an order for her!

 

Jian Luo said, “You have some work to do right now so I’ll wait for you.”

 

Secretary Jin nodded, picked up the bell and went in.

As soon as she left, there was no one outside.

 

It was not good for Jian Luo to stand in the same place as it was embarrassing not to leave. He could only look around the military base to pass the time. The security level was very high and there were sky lasers all over the walls. No matter what he did, there was no need for a Dark Star to take action as the defense system inside the walls could just destroy him in minutes.

 

After a while, someone came out.

 

Jian Luo turned around and thought that what he saw first  would be Secretary Jin, but who knew that he would see a man with an elegant and handsome face in a military uniform walking out.

 

In romance novels, he would be a domineering president, and in BL novels, he would be a formidable top!

 

Secretary Jin gave Jian Luo a wink.

 

Lu Shifeng stopped when he passed Jian Luo and looked at him condescendingly: “A human?”

 

Jian Luo wiped the possible drool at the corner of his mouth and said respectfully, “Hello.”

 

“En.” Lu Shifeng’s voice was low and magnetic and he asked slowly, “What are you doing here?”

 

Jian Luo guessed that this person was a high-level official and said honestly, “I’m here to ask for leave.”

 

Usually ordinary soldiers didn’t need to ask Secretary Jin to apply for leave. However, because it was a private contract, Jian Luo came over. He could’ve sent a message to ask for leave, but he was too embarrassed to let the car that came to pick him up early this morning to have come over for naught.

 

Lu Shifeng said in a deep voice, “I heard that you are going to a human cultivation base.”

 

Jian Luo nodded lightly: “Yes.”

 

“Well.” Lu Shifeng said, “I’m going there too, follow me.”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refuse: “No, no, I’m too embarrassed to be a bother to you so I’ll just go there…”

 

Secretary Jin hurriedly interjected: “Luoluo, didn’t you say you have something to do at home?”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo pondered for a while, and understood!

 

Secretary Jin was looking for someone reliable for him. If he could follow this master, then the cultivation base issue will definitely not be difficult for him, and everything will be solved easily.

 

After he figured this out, Jian Luo immediately changed his expression: “I mean, it’s really an honor to follow you.”

 

Lu Shifeng withdrew his gaze indifferently: “Let’s go.”

 

The man stopped talking and took the lead to leave, leaving Jian Luo, who was still a little confused, behind.

 

Secretary Jin winked at him: “Go.”

 

Jian Luo quickly returned to his senses and quickened his pace to catch up. After reaching the outside of the military base, he followed him up a warship. After it was locked, he felt that the other’s eyes were looking at him strangely.

 

Lu Shifeng sat down to rest on the sofa of the warship and glanced at Jian Luo: “Sit down.”

 

Jian Luo carefully sat down.

 

There was a teapot on the table so he started to brew tea without any hesitation. His movements were very smooth. After he finished brewing the tea, he handed a cup to Lu Shifeng himself with a flattering smile.

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him: “Are you afraid of me?”

 

Jian Luo shook his hand and head quickly: “No, no.”

 

Lu Shifeng retracted his gaze, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, “I know your cooking skills are good so don’t be afraid of me, the military will not treat capable people badly.”

 

“Yes yes yes.” Jian Luo  flattered simply: “I have always admired the military, especially Marshal Lu. Although he is old, he is wise and talented. As his subordinate, you are indeed a talented person. I will definitely work hard.”   

 

He bowed as he finished.

 

Inexplicably, the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.

 

Slowly, Lu Shifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Do you think he is very old?”

Chapter 39

TL: Hoenimochi
TLC: Hoenibean

       Because of Hua Yibang’s interruption, Li Zhenruo didn’t have time to ask Li Zhenran what the so-called charity dinner was all about.

       It wasn’t until later that evening when Li Zhenruo lay on his side beside Li Zhenran’s bed, and rested his head on one hand, that he asked him, “Are you going to that charity dinner?”

       Li Zhenran was looking at an evaluation report in his hand, and without giving a side glance, he asked, “Which one?”

       “The Ren’ai one,” Li Zhenruo answered.

       As he changed between human and cat forms, he still couldn’t get himself a set of clothes. Now, he’s just lazy and fine with staying naked. Anyway, the young Li the fourth used to admire his great figure, and the women liked it too. Although he was a little thinner now, it seems that Li Zhenran liked it very much, and it didn’t matter to show it only to him.

       When Li Zhenran heard the words, he just made an “um” sound.

       Li Zhenruo was waiting for him to write, but it took two minutes to realize that he had nothing more to say, so he leaned in and put his chin on his shoulder and asked, “Are you going?”

       Li Zhenran turned to look at him, “Where to go?”

       Li Zhenruo felt that he was doing it on purpose. He pulled a long face at him and stop speaking.

       Li Zhenran reached out and pinched his chin, soothing his angry kitten, and said, “Do you want to go?”

       Li Zhenruo was silent for a while and hesitated about how to answer this question.

       However, Li Zhenran saw through him, “What do you want to go and do? What’s so special about this dinner party?”

       Li Zhenruo couldn’t say that he wanted to inquire whether Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia had any adulterous affair, right?

       Seeing that Li Zhenruo didn’t answer, Li Zhenran said, “I am considering it, since I have nothing to see if I go.”

       Li Zhenruo glanced at him.

       He continued, “But I didn’t say I was going to take you there.”

       Li Zhenruo was already familiar with his tricks and thought that Li Zhenran would never get tired of teasing him. He sighed silently, leaned his chin on Li Zhenran’s chest, and raised his eyes to look at him, “Take me there.”

       Li Zhenran looked at him without speaking.

       Li Zhenruo tilted his head and put his face on his chest, gently pulled Li Zhenran’s hand beside the bed, and clasped their fingers together.

       This action he did was quite chilling. He remembered that a cute little girlfriend used to act like a spoiled brat with him. At that time, he had to deal with this, and now Li Zhenran should also deal with this.

       Speaking of which, Li Zhenran may be a homosexual since he was born, but he hid it too well. After he lived in the same house with him for more than 20 years, no one in the family found out. In the past, he also thought that Li Zhenran just had a relatively clean private life. To put it badly, his personality was dull and conservative, but he didn’t expect that he would toy people better than anyone else.

       Li Zhenruo had been doing this for a long time, but he still felt ashamed of for letting himself fall into debauchery.

       Li Zhenran didn’t respond for a while, and then suddenly grabbed Li Zhenruo’s hair to force him to look up and say, “Are you distracted?”

       Li Zhenruo’s heart was grumbling that even the perversion in his mind was found out, but his body responded very quickly, and he bit down on Li Zhenran’s mouth. Naturally, the result was that he was turned over and pressed under Li Zhenran’s body, and they fooled around until the middle of the night.

       When they ate breakfast the next day, not only did Li Zhenzi look at Li Zhenran with a strange look, but even Wen Chun and Li Zhentai had subtle expressions and looked at Li Zhenran from time to time.

       At this time, Li Zhenruo had to admire Li Zhenran. He was bathed in the gaze of everyone, but he was able to sit on the chair in the restaurant with a blank expression as he called Li Zhenruo over while peeling eggs.

       Li Zhenruo was a little hesitant. He was not sure if he wanted to go there, but he always walked by Zhenran’s side every day. It would be even more strange to suddenly show resistance, right?

       He dragged his tail over and jumped onto Li Zhenran’s lap.

       While Li Zhenran was feeding Li Zhenruo eggs, Wang Ma walked past him with an empty plate, suddenly stopped and said, “Aiya, Zhenran, are there any fleas on your bed? Did you see how many fleas have bitten your neck?”

       Li Zhenruo couldn’t hold back, and the egg yolk in his mouth sprayed out.

       All of a sudden, everyone in the dining room focused on him, and even Li Jianglin, who had just walked over with a crutch asked, “What’s going on?”

       Li Zhenran was very calm, he picked up the debris in front of him without haste, and said to Li Jianglin, “The cat sneezed.” Then he said to Wang Ma, “Maybe that was the case. I didn’t even notice until you said so, get someone to change everything in my room.”

       Wang Ma answered okay.

       Li Zhenran then patted Li Zhenruo’s butt and said, “Get off.”

       Li Zhenruo immediately rolled down and hid to eat his cat food.

       Li Jianglin sat down at the dining table and asked Li Zhentai and Wen Chun, “Going to take wedding photos tomorrow?”

       Wen Chun said, “It’s already set. We’ll go to Saipan to shoot.”

       Li Jianglin nodded, “You guys are going to get married soon. Take a break when you guys go out these few days. When you guys get back, it should be almost the time to prepare for the wedding.”

       Li Zhentai smiled and said, “Yes.”

       Wen Chun, on the other hand just smiled slightly before lowering her head and scooping up the bowl of cereal with a spoon.

       Li Zhentai and Wen Chun flew to Saipan to take wedding photos. Li Zhenruo felt that their wedding was too hurried. Now they were going to take wedding photos, then they would come back in less than a month for the wedding and then go to Greece for their honeymoon.

       At the same time, the time for the charity dinner was almost here.

       That afternoon, Li Zhenran asked Hua Yibang to accompany Li Zhenruo to buy a suit and take care of his hair.

       Li Zhenruo didn’t like Li Zhenran’s hairdresser and felt that the other party was not fashionable enough, but Hua Yibang took him out on Li Zhenran’s order and thus gave him no choice.

       Hua Yibang was still confused until now. Although he heard Li Zhenran call this young man “Tuanzi1dumpling”, and saw that the cat brought by Li Zhenran disappeared every day and was replaced by a beautiful young man, he still couldn’t believe it was this person was a cat.

       Yeah, who could believe it?

       When Li Zhenruo saw that Hua Yibang was almost suffocated to the point of internal injury, he didn’t ask any questions. He just shut his mouth and didn’t tell him, so he wouldn’t suffocate him to death.

       He changed into a decent dark suit, and his hair was well tidied up. Li Zhenruo looked like a young boy from a wealthy family, walking with his head held up slightly, with a gentle and elegant posture.

       Hua Yibang took off his glasses and wiped them carefully with a glasses cloth.

       Li Zhenruo walked to the sofa and sat down, put one hand on Hua Yibang’s shoulder, and asked, “Xiao Hua ge, do you think Li Zhenzi and Su Yao are having an affair?”

       The question came so suddenly that Hua Yibang was stunned. He put on his glasses slowly, and said, “I don’t know.”

       This was not what Li Zhenruo wanted to ask. There were some things that Li Zhenran didn’t know, but it might not be the case for Hua Yibang. If he got closer to Su Yao, he may know some of Li Zhenzi’s secrets.

       So he asked, “What about Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia?”

       As Hua Yibang heard the words, he looked at Li Zhenruo, “Why are you asking about this?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “I’m curious.”

       Hua Yibang shook his head, “I don’t know.”

       Alas, no one seems to know. However, it seemed because this relationship was secret enough that Li Zhenzi would hand over such important things to Yue Zijia.

       He then followed Hua Yibang back to Yunlin.

       As he entered Li Zhenran’s office, Li Zhenruo forgot to knock on the door. When he opened the door, he was slightly taken aback when he saw someone standing inside. He wanted to close the door and go out but found that the person standing inside was Yan Xiujie, so he couldn’t help but stop.

       Yan Xiujie saw someone coming and said to Li Zhenran, “Then I’ll go out first Mr. Li.”

       Li Zhenran nodded and said to Li Zhenruo, “Come in.”

       When he passed by Yan Xiujie, Li Zhenruo looked at Yan Xiujie’s back and asked Li Zhenran, “What is he doing here?”

       Li Zhenran was originally cleaning up the things on the table, but when he heard the question, he stopped and looked at him and said, “Do you know him?”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t admit it but also didn’t rush to deny it. He was afraid he would give away himself by what he did. So he just looked at Yan Xiujie’s distant back and said, “He looks so handsome.”

       Li Zhenran paused, put down the book heavily in his hand, and leaned back on the back of the chair. He raised one of his long legs and asked him, “How handsome?”

       Li Zhenruo turned to look at him, suddenly smiled, and said, “Not as much as you.”

       Li Zhenran looked at him coldly.

       Li Zhenruo walked over and sat down on his lap. He raised his arms around his neck and said, “Not even close.”

       Li Zhenran still had a sanctimonious look, but his hand touched Li Zhenruo’s thigh.

       Li Zhenruo quickly grabbed his hand and said, “Stop it, this is the office.”

       In fact, the office didn’t matter, but this was Li Zhenran’s office, which made it really exciting to think about.

       Li Zhenran actually stopped when he heard the words. He just looked at Li Zhenruo and didn’t speak.

       Li Zhenruo also looked at him, as he saw the outline of his handsome nose, thin and light lips, he suddenly couldn’t help it. He leaned over and kissed him, thinking that his tastes had become so distorted that he didn’t react when he saw a beauty, but on the contrary, he was excited by the face of a man.

       In the end, Li Zhenran answered the question with another question, and Li Zhenruo never got the answer he wanted.

       He found that recently the situation was often like this. Li Zhenran seldom answered his questions right away. He felt guilty when he asked Li Zhenran a few questions. As a result, the other party diverted the topic away and never returned to the conversation.

       In the evening, he attended a charity dinner with Li Zhenran.

       When someone asked him, Li Zhenran said that he was a new assistant. When he met someone he knew and they would ask “Where is Hua Yibang?” Li Zhenran said without changing his face that this was a new life assistant.

       Li Zhenruo’s acting skills were not weak. He followed Li Zhenran’s side, behaved and spoke appropriately. He really looked like a new assistant, but he looked too young and too beautiful.

       Li Zhenruo has been to this kind of dinner a few times, and today was nothing special.  It’s clearly a fund-raiser in the name of charity, but the golden wall of the banquet hall was brilliant, redundant and luxurious. The ladies attending the banquet also had high-end famous brands all over their bodies, hanging full of jewellery.

       Li Zhenran socialized with others and took Li Zhenruo to sit down at the seat arranged for him by the organizer. There were two seats, and one was originally reserved for his female companion, but now it was sat on by Li Zhenruo’s butt.

       The waiter immediately brought the wine over.

       They came relatively early. And after a while, Li Zhenruo saw Li Zhenzi appear with Yu Bingwei.

       He hadn’t seen Yu Bingwei for a long time. Today Yu Bingwei wore a brightly coloured long dress with just the right chest opening, showing off her proud figure.

       Since Li Zhenzi saw Li Zhenran, he brought Yu Bingwei over.

       Li Zhenruo followed Li Zhenran to stand up, and his eyes fell on Yu Bingwei’s chest. He missed his own former imperial treasure. He remembered that Yu Bingwei didn’t like to wear underwear when she was wearing pyjamas, so he flattened his body and lay down on it. It really felt really soft and warm, which he had never experienced in a lifetime.

       His thoughts drifted away, and he didn’t notice that both Li Zhenzi and Li Zhenran were looking at him.

       Li Zhen said to Li Zhenran with interest, “Second brother, don’t you want to introduce me?”

       Li Zhenran didn’t answer, but asked Li Zhenruo, “Do you like them?”

       Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses. He knew that Li Zhenran must be unhappy, and after a little hesitation, he whispered in Li Zhenran’s ear, “You know I like long and hard ones, not round and soft ones.”

       This was really vulgar, but Li Zhenruo thinks Li Zhenran would like to hear it.

       Sure enough, Li Zhenran did not continue to pursue this matter with him.

       Li Zhenzi has been looking at them all the time, and when he saw this young man talking in Li Zhenran’s ear, he couldn’t help showing an ambiguous smile.

       Li Zhenran introduced them to each other: “This is my new assistant.” He mainly wanted to introduce Li Zhenruo’s role. As for Li Zhenzi and Yu Bingwei, they were sure to be familiar with this cat.

       Li Zhenzi shook hands with Li Zhenruo, and said to his second brother, “Second brother, you are too stingy if you don’t even introduce a name.”

       This time, before Li Zhenran spoke, Li Zhenruo said with a smile, “My name is Jason. Hello Third Young Master.”

       The moment he heard the name, Li Zhenzi’s expression changed slightly, and even Li Zhenran couldn’t help but glance at him. His eyes drooped slightly.

       Li Zhenruo looked indifferent and innocent.

       Yu Bingwei was the only one who didn’t know. After she greeted Li Zhenruo with a smile, she immediately asked Li Zhenran about her cat.

       Li Zhenran said to her, “Miss Yu, please rest assured, Dumpling is healthy and living happy. You are welcome to come and see it at any time.”

       Yu Bingwei said, “I guess so, it’s good that it’s happy.”

       Li Zhenruo looked at Yu Bingwei’s sincere eyes and was somewhat touched. He thought that Yu Bingwei was actually a very good woman, but unfortunately, Li Zhenzi didn’t know how to cherish her, and he had to entangle himself with people like Wen Chun and Yue Zijia.

       After exchanging pleasantries, Li Zhenzi brought Yu Bingwei to their seats and sat down.

       Tonight, Li Zhenzi came as Yunyi’s boss, and Li Zhenran was not enough to replace Li Jianglin as Yunlin’s big boss. He just received this invitation as the second son of the Li family.

       After Li Zhenzi left with Yu Bingwei and Li Zhenruo sat down with Li Zhenran, he suddenly noticed someone in the corner looking at them.

       Li Zhenruo turned to look and found that it was Yue Zijia in a silver evening dress.

       Yue Zijia stood in the corner, saw Li Zhenruo look over, smiled politely and nodded. Li Zhenruo gave her a bright and innocent smile, reached out and grabbed the small cake on the table, and asked Li Zhenran, “Can I eat it?”

       Li Zhenran glanced at him and said, “Whatever you want.”

       Li Zhenruo put the cake in his mouth.

       Li Zhenran looked at his elegant way of eating and suddenly asked, “Why is it Jason?”

       Li Zhenruo chewed the cake in his mouth, looked up at the sky for a while, and said, “I seem to have heard this name somewhere.”

       Li Zhenran asked him, “Where have you heard of it?”

       Li Zhenruo was in a trance as if unconsciously licking the cream on his fingers, and said, “I don’t remember. What? Is there anything special about the name Jason?”

       He originally thought that Li Zhenran would not answer him, but he did not expect Li Zhenran to hear the words and say, “It’s my fourth brother’s english name.”

       Li Zhenruo hanged out in Li’s house every day. Of course, it was impossible to pretend that he didn’t know that Li Zhenran has a fourth brother who has passed away. He looked at Li Zhenran and asked, “Is it the one with the closed door on the second floor?”

       Li Zhenran said “Um”.

       Li Zhenruo hesitated and said, “Then I’d better not use that name…”

       Li Zhenran said, “It doesn’t matter, you have already told the third child, it would be strange to change it.”

       Li Zhenruo hesitated a little and said, “I’m afraid it will remind you of your fourth brother when you hear it.”

       Li Zhenran calmly said, “It doesn’t matter.”

       At this time, the host of the charity dinner had already taken the stage with a microphone and invited all the guests to take their seats to start the charity fundraising event tonight.

       This charity dinner not only invited many entrepreneurs from prominent families in China but also invited many celebrities as performance guests for fundraising.

       Li Zhenran was already sitting here, and he must be ready to donate tonight. He sat casually and his eyes fell on the stage.

       However, Li Zhenruo was distracted and focused on Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia. So far, the two have not communicated, but Li Zhenruo believed that when the two of them appear on the same occasion, they would always give away something.

       The singers on the stage finished singing the song, and the host came to the stage to read the donation project tonight, and then the fundraiser was carried out.

       Whether it was an individual or a company, the number of donations will be announced on the spot, which not only satisfied everyone’s kindness but also satisfied everyone’s vanity.

       Li Zhenruo picked up the glass and took a slow sip. As he saw that Li Zhenzi suddenly got up and said something to Yu Bingwei in the seat next to him, then he walked outside.

       At this moment, Li Zhenruo noticed that Yue Zijia, who was sitting in the other corner, also stood up and walked out.

       Li Zhenruo put the cup on the table and said to Li Zhenran, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

       He followed him out, but just after coming out of the banquet hall, the two of them disappeared. Outside the banquet hall was a large terrace. At this time, many people were standing on the terrace with wine and chatting, but there was no trace of Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia.

       He hesitated for a while and walked toward the bathroom. He saw no one along the way, until he entered the bathroom to wash his hands, and happened to meet Li Zhenzi.

       Li Zhenzi seemed to really come to the toilet. After urinating, he stood by the sink to wash his hands and looked at Li Zhenruo from the mirror.

       Li Zhenruo smiled at him, looking a little coy.

       Li Zhenzi also smiled and asked him, “When did my second brother abandon that old antique Hua Yibang and replace him with such a tender young assistant?”

       Li Zhenruo didn’t want to answer his question, so he simply pretended not to answer, lowered his head and still smiled awkwardly.

       Li Zhenzi slowly washed his hands and said to him, “I really didn’t know the second brother still had such a hobby.”

       Li Zhenruo said in his heart, You are right, I never thought of it before. However, he said obediently, “Third Young Master, you misunderstood.”

       Li Zhenzi had clearly identified the relationship between Li Zhenran and the young man in front of him, patted him on the shoulder with an ambiguous smile, and walked outside.

       Li Zhenruo waited for two seconds, followed by pretending not to be in a hurry, and saw Li Zhenzi walking toward the banquet hall.

       He really didn’t plan to whisper a few words to Yue Zijia?

       Li Zhenruo followed far behind, saw him enter the door of the banquet hall, then walked to the door of the banquet hall and looked inside. When he saw that Yue Zijia was still not there, he couldn’t help but wonder where she went.

       Instead of entering the banquet hall, he returned to the large terrace, and this time he found Yue Zijia.

       Yue Zijia stood alone in the corner of the terrace, with her head down and was talking to someone on the phone.

       Li Zhenruo lightened her footsteps and approached behind her like a cat when she heard her say, “You can still remember me at this time?”

       This was clearly the tone of a phone call with a lover.

       Then Yue Zijia said, “Do you think I believe you?”

       Who is it? It couldn’t be Li Zhenzi, because Li Zhenzi just went in and sat down, so it’s impossible to make this phone call with Yue Zijia in front of Yu Bingwei.

       Yue Zijia has a lot of friends outside, not only one lover and it was not necessarily that this call may not be to one of the Li family.

       However, Li Zhenruo listened to Yue Zijia and talked in a low voice, “Two of you from the Li family came today, the third young master brought Yu Bingwei, and the second young master brought a boy.”

       Li Zhenruo suddenly opened his eyes.

       “Very beautiful boy,” Yue Zijia continued, “Okay, bye-bye.”

       She hung up the phone, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Li Zhenruo behind her.


The author has something to say:

Of course, the second brother likes someone really weak(Zhenruo). He is too lazy to deal with people he doesn’t like. Obviously, he was jealous in the last chapter. As for why he likes his cat, it wasn’t because it is really weak(Zhenruo). He’s just perverted-

I learned a new word called: 晜(big brother) 0-0


Notes:
The author is making a wordplay because really weak is 真弱(zhen ruo). Remember the reason why Zhenruo make the Jason english name because he really don’t like people around his age mocking his name?

So when reading this chapter I got sudden amnesia and be like Who the heck is Su Yao??? Which girl again that got entangled with Zhenzi??? Turns out it was his secretary…. Keeping glossary is a lifesaver…

Chapter 38

       When he had breakfast in the morning, Li Zhenran asked Wang Ma to serve him a bowl of porridge.

       Li Zhenzi sat opposite him, and when he looked up, he saw the ambiguous red marks under Li Zhenran’s slightly open collar. He laughed and said, “Second brother, I remember you came back very early last night.”

       At this time, Li Jianglin had already finished breakfast and gone out for a walk.

       In the dining room, besides Li Zhenran and Li Zhenzi, there was also Wen Chun who just got up and went downstairs. As she heard Li Zhenzi’s words, Wen Chun raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Li Zhenran. She then smiled and lowered her head to drink coffee.

       Li Zhenran heard the words and said, “Yes.”

       Li Zhenzi was really curious, “Then don’t tell me you were bitten by a mosquito on your neck?”

       Li Zhenran picked up a chopstick and pickled vegetables and said, “There were a lot of mosquitoes last night, didn’t you feel it?”

       Li Zhenzi didn’t believe what he said and just smiled. He didn’t continue to ask.

       Li Zhenruo was also in the dining room, but his cat-self was still in a trance as he was lying in front of his small food bowl to drink milk.

       He felt puzzled. Although Li Zhenruo didn’t have relationships with countless women like Li Zhenzi, he was also a veteran in love scenes. In the past, he always thought that Li Zhenran was too serious, and thought that when he was with a woman, he would have no flirting skills. But this morning, the other side whispered in his ear a few words, and he almost lost his soul.

       Until now, Li Zhenruo can’t help but blush when he thought of the word master he shouted, as if it had some kind of erotic meaning.

       After breakfast, Li Zhenran wanted to take Li Zhenruo out.

       Wen Chun felt very strange, “Zhenran, are you taking the cat to work? Won’t it make trouble?”

       Li Zhenzi hurriedly said, “Second brother loves his cat so much. He can hold it when he sleeps, what could the difference be going to work with it?”

       Wen Chun smiled a little at his words.

       Li Zhenran was too lazy to take part in his nonsense and carried Li Zhenruo by his collar into the car.

       There was a driver in the car, and it was inconvenient for one person and one cat to say or do something.

       When he arrived at the company’s office, Hua Yibang was not very surprised to see Li Zhenran bringing the cat to work again, and only said, “Zhenran, did you only bring the cat and no toilet for him?”

       Li Zhenran said, “He will use the toilet himself.”

       Hua Yibang was baffled.

       After he closed the door of the office and locked it, Li Zhenran said to Li Zhenruo, “That’ll do.”

       Li Zhenruo also glanced at the door lock alertly. Then, under Li Zhenran’s gaze, he stretched out and transformed into a naked young man.

       “Clothes, clothes.” Li Zhenruo said quickly to Li Zhenran.

       Li Zhenran fetched him a set of casual clothes from the lounge cupboard, and then said, “I’ll ask Yibang to buy you two sets of clothes.”

       Li Zhenruo was sitting naked on the edge of the big bed in his lounge, playing with his clothes and saying, “Where are the underwear?”

       Li Zhenran rummaged through the drawer to find a pair of underwear for him.

       Li Zhenruo took it in his hand and said, “This is worn.”

       Li Zhenran said to him, “There are no new ones here. Wear them or don’t.”

       Li Zhenruo was silent, and finally, put on his underwear. Why does it matter to wear Li Zhenran’s old underwear? He let Li Zhenran do whatever he wanted, and didn’t care about it.

       Li Zhenran looked at him neatly dressed and asked him, “Are you going out?”

       The purpose of Li Zhenruo following Li Zhenran out was of course to be able to move freely instead of being trapped in Li’s house all day. He still had a lot of things to do, although there was no way to rush the moment for fear of being noticed by Li Zhenran. But it didn’t feel good to be kept in captivity for such a long time. Even if he wasn’t going to do anything, it was better to go shopping freely.

       He said to Li Zhenran, “I’m going to take a stroll down the street and buy some clothes to wear.”

       Li Zhenran said, “Wait until I get off work to go with you.”

       Li Zhenruo was stunned for a moment. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at him with a pitiful look, “Let me go.”

       Li Zhenran looked at him coldly and said nothing.

       At this time, Li Zhenruo already knew exactly how to deal with Li Zhenran. He took a deep breath, reached out and pulled Li Zhenran’s belt buckle around his waist, pulling him to himself, his face almost pressed to the small of his back, tilting his head up to look at him, “Master, please ……”

       Li Zhenran grabbed Li Zhenruo’s face with one hand and pulled it so hard that the shape of Li Zhenruo’s face was deformed, and he cried out “It’s painful” before Li Zhenran let go and said, “The old rules, remember?”

       Li Zhenruo said quickly, “The collar will not be taken off, and back before five o’clock in the afternoon.”

       Li Zhenran patted his face, took out a secondary credit card from his body, and put it in his jacket pocket.

       Li Zhenruo touched the credit card on his chest, licked his face and said, “Just give me some more cash.”

       Li Zhenran looked at him coldly, “How much?”

       Li Zhenruo felt that his request was too much, so he grabbed Li Zhenran’s hand, put his palm on his face, and said, “Five thousand.”

       Li Zhenran heard the words, and grabbed his face with his fingers, “What for?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Ouch, ouch,” twice. “I owe someone money. It was just five thousand yuan. Don’t pull it. It’s going to be swollen.”

       Li Zhenran let go of his hand and saw that Li Zhenruo’s cheeks were really red. If he pulled it further, it would be difficult to reduce the swelling, and said, “Wait a while.”

       As he left the lounge, Li Zhenran called Hua Yibang in.

       When Hua Yibang came in, he saw Li Zhenruo standing at the door of the lounge straightening up his clothes. He then stopped in his tracks with a bewildered face. He remembered that there was no one else here for Li Zhenran just now, and wasn’t this young man the one Li Zhenran took to Qijiang last time?

       He felt like he hadn’t seen him for quite a long time, so why did the man suddenly appear again?

       Also, where’s the cat?

       “Yibang,” Li Zhenran called to him.

       Hua Yibang was distracted and did not respond.

       Li Zhenran then knocked on the table and called again, “Hua Yibang.”

       Only then did Hua Yibang turn his head towards him in shock, “Zhenran?”

       Li Zhenran said, “You help me to get 5,000 yuan in cash.”

       Hua Yibang nodded and said, “Do you want it now?”

       Li Zhenran replied, “I want it now.”

       Hua Yibang turned around to go out, but after taking two steps, he couldn’t help turning his head and asked, “Zhenran, where’s the cat?”

       Li Zhenran glanced in the direction of Li Zhenruo and said, “Isn’t it here?”

       Hua Yibang also looked at Li Zhenruo, his expression became profound and bewildered as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he endured it and turned to leave Li Zhenran’s office.

       Li Zhenruo rolled up his long sleeves and thought that he had to buy a few sets of clothes. Li Zhenran’s clothes were always a bit ill-fitting to wear.

       Li Zhenran sat on the office chair and hooked his finger at him, “Come here.”

       Li Zhenruo walked over and was hugged by Li Zhenran. He then sat on his lap, and Li Zhenran bent down to help him roll up his trousers.

       As he looked at the hair on top of Li Zhenran’s head, Li Zhenruo suddenly felt that his heart was beating a little faster for some reason as if his heart was slowly being filled with something, and he could feel his heart aching with a little touch.

       So when Li Zhenran raised his head, he reached out and hugged Li Zhenran’s neck and kissed him on the mouth.

       Li Zhenruo was also a man himself, and he has seen too many women to know what kind of behaviour makes a man’s heart flutter the most. He seduced Li Zhenran deliberately. Anyway, he had done everything, and he didn’t care about losing. His heart was always fluttering, and it made no sense to see Li Zhenran calm and unaffected.

       At the end of the kiss, Li Zhenruo saw that Li Zhenran was looking at him.

       Growing up together in Li’s family since childhood, Li Zhenruo had never seen Li Zhenran look at a person like this. He felt a little happy, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. He felt embarrassed, so he put his head on Li Zhenran’s shoulder and lowered his head and snickered alone.

       After a while, he heard Hua Yibang knocking on the door outside to come in. Li Zhenruo immediately got up from Li Zhenran’s arms and stood next to him to organize his clothes.

       Hua Yibang handed 5,000 yuan in cash to Li Zhenran. After Li Zhenran took it, he handed it to Li Zhenruo, and then give a few hundred-yuan bills from himself to Li Zhenruo and said, “Go and take a taxi.”

       Li Zhenruo smiled and said, “Thank you.”

       Hua Yibang stood silently, without looking away.

       “Also,” Li Zhenran sat down and opened the drawer of his desk. There was an almost brand-new mobile phone in it. It was the one that Li Zhenruo had used the last time he happened to take human form, and there was his ID card named Li Tuanzi next to it.

       Li Zhenran gave him his cell phone, but he didn’t take out his ID card.

       Li Zhenruo approached him and asked, “Can you give me the ID card?”

       “No,” Li Zhenran replied dryly.

       So Li Zhenruo didn’t push. He put away the money and mobile phone, kissed Li Zhenran’s face, and said, “I’m leaving.”

       Li Zhenran nodded.

       When Li Zhenruo passed by Hua Yibang, he waved to him, “Bye.”

       Hua Yibang politely responded, “Take care.”

       Li Zhenruo came out of Li Zhenran’s office and familiarly went to the elevator. When he saw that the VIP elevator was still on the basement floor, he reached out and pressed the public elevator.

       At this time, it was already working hours, and there were not many people going up and down the elevator. When the elevator went down to the tenth floor, a young man in a suit came in.

       When he saw the man’s appearance clearly, Li Zhenruo was slightly startled.

       This young man was his former assistant, and his name was Yan Xiujie. Yan Xiujie had a very good relationship with Li Zhenruo in the past, and he really followed Li Zhenruo with all his heart and soul even when Li Zhenruo had just encountered an unforeseen misfortune and was in the most depressing time. Yan Xiujie once also carried large and small bags of food to visit him at the place where Li Zhenruo lived.

       After Li Zhenruo was killed, there was no news of Yan Xiujie, and he didn’t plan to look for him when he came back as a cat, because his identity was too peculiar. But he didn’t expect to meet him in Yunlin’s elevator today.

       Yan Xiujie just glanced at him from the corner of his eye and didn’t look at him again. Li Zhenruo knew that it was a bit strange for him to be dressed up here, and he looked like someone brought his son who was on vacation from middle school to the company to play.

       When the elevator went down to the fifth floor, Yan Xiujie walked out. Li Zhenruo hesitated for a while, but didn’t call him, and silently took the elevator to the ground floor.

       He came out of Yunlin’s building, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. He planned to call Feng Junyuan first, and then go to Xia Hongshen. He still remembered that he owed the other party 5,000 yuan, and now he was in a hurry to repay the money first.

       He knows that Xia Hongshen was not an ordinary person. He not only wanted to pay him back the money but also hoped that Xia Hong Shen could be impressed by the money to help him do something more, although the possibility of this was very slim.

       As expected, Xia Hongshen refused his other requests after charging him five thousand yuan, the reason was “no time”.

       “Xia laoshi1may refer to teacher or an honorific title used for a highly venerated senior teacher in Zen Buddhism.?” Li Zhenruo tried to impress him with sincerity.

       Xia Hongshen pointed to the autopsy room, “There are still corpses waiting for me, do you want to go in with me?”

       Li Zhenruo said, “Leave it at that. Please…”

       Li Zhenruo thought it was expected to be rejected by Xia Hongshen and was not very disappointed.

       When he came out of the school, he really went shopping with the card Li Zhenran gave him, as he and Li Zhenran already discussed. In fact, he still had one thing in mind, that was, he wanted to find a locksmith and go to unlock the house where his mother once lived to see if there was anything.

       But he was always worried that if he made too much movement, Li Zhenran would be alarmed.

       Li Zhenruo has not planned to tell Li Zhenran his identity until now. He always felt that the future was very vague. Even before yesterday, he was not sure what kind of attitude he could live in in the future.

       Wait a little longer, Li Zhenruo told himself that he had waited for so long, and he needed to calm down and take it one step at a time.

       So he went to the shopping mall, visited several casual wear brands that he liked in the past, bought a few sets of casual clothes with simple and elegant styles, suitable for young people, and also went to the sports brand store to buy himself two pairs of sports shoes and a duckbill cap.

       Before five o’clock in the afternoon, Li Zhenruo returned to Yunlin with a large bag and a small bag but was stopped by the security downstairs.

       Showing the handsome face under the cap, Li Zhenruo asked the front desk to call Hua Yibang, and only after confirming his identity did the front desk let him go.

       Taking the elevator to the 23rd floor, the elevator door just opened, and Li Zhenruo saw Li Zhentai who was standing outside the door waiting for the elevator.

       Li Zhenruo was a little surprised, and Li Zhentai was stunned for a moment, looking at him up and down.

       Li Zhenruo simply pretended to not know Li Zhentai and walked out of the elevator towards Li Zhenran’s office. Li Zhentai watched his back for a while before entering the elevator.

       As he saw Li Zhenran, Li Zhenruo first put his large and small bags on his desk and asked, “What’s your eldest brother doing here?”

       Li Zhenran picked up the paper bag with his fingers and glanced at the clothes inside, and said casually, “Something came up for me.”

       Having that said was tantamount to not saying it. Li Zhenruo just thought that Li Zhentai was busy with marriage affairs recently and would not have time to see Li Zhenran.

       Li Zhenruo stood at the edge of the desk, thought for a while, and moved all the clothes and shoes he bought into Li Zhenran’s lounge, carefully hanging them in the cabinet.

       Li Zhenran stood at the door, crossed his arms and asked him, “What are you planning to do by putting them here?”

       Li Zhenruo turned around and said, “It’s only natural. I come to work with you every morning and go home with you in the afternoon.”

       Li Zhenran said, “People will think I’m sick.”

       In his heart, Li Zhenruo said everyone thought you were sick for a long time, it’s just that no one told you. As he thought of this, he suddenly thought that Li Zhenran was a little pitiful. He walked over to him and pulled him to sit beside the bed, and said, “No one will think you are sick, only that you love cats.”

       Li Zhenran suddenly reached out to clamp Li Zhenruo’s jaw, and said coldly, “Really? How much do I love you?”

       Li Zhenruo decided to take back the pity on him, pretended to be pitiful and said, “I’m wrong. I beg you to bring me out every day. I’m bored as a cat in the Li family, and you can’t accompany me at home.”

       Li Zhenran snorted and let go.

       Li Zhenruo rolled on the bed, and his body shrank back to the shape of a cat. He walked to Li Zhenran’s side, rubbed his body against his arm, and raised his tail to hook his fingers.

       Li Zhenran picked him up and threw him on the big desk outside, sat down and rang the bell to call Hua Yibang to come in.

       Li Zhenruo didn’t pay attention to what he was doing, but saw a plain invitation letter on the table, and couldn’t help but curiously opened it and saw that it turned out to be an invitation letter for a charity dinner.

       The sponsor of this charity dinner was the Ren’ai Charity Foundation. Li Zhenruo had some impressions of this foundation because he was invited to attend the charity dinner the previous year. He remembered that Yue Zijia was one of the directors of this foundation, and Li Zhenzi was the honorary president of the foundation because he once donated all the profits of a film on behalf of Yunyi.

       Li Zhenruo immediately wanted to know whether Li Zhenzi and Yue Zijia would attend this dinner. He stretched out his body and turned into a naked youth, knelt on the desk, and asked, “Is it…”

       “Zhenran?” Before he finished speaking, Hua Yibang opened the office door from outside and saw this scene.

       Everything happened in an instant, and Li Zhenran didn’t have time to react at all.

       Hua Yibang exited quickly and closed the door, while Li Zhenruo was a little silly and asked Li Zhenran, “Did he see it?”

       Li Zhenran was sitting on the seat in front of the desk. From this angle, the scenery was just right. With a gloomy face, he said, “Get in.”

       Li Zhenruo saw that he was angry and hurriedly got down from the desk, hid in the lounge, and closed the door.

Chapter 15 – I have a boyfriend too

Chapter 15 – I have a boyfriend too

 

While the two were talking, there was a commotion at the entrance before the waiter then respectfully led a person in.

 

He was a man in a white robe with pure white hair. He was holding a cane in his hand as he walked in dignified and steady steps, He came in under the recommendation of the waiter.

 

Nie Yan narrowed his shrewd eyes and said with a smile, “It’s really surprising that you are here to pay us an illustrious visit, your grace.”

 

High Priest Zhan Wentai.

 

Dark Star’s national idol, a figure who was an expert in astronomy and geography.

 

Zhan Wentai sat down on the table: “According to my divination, I learned that there will be an unexpected surprise here, so I’ll come over to have a look.”

 

Nie Yan cheered: “As expected of the high priest, he already foresaw this.”

 

Zhan Wentai looked at Lu Shifeng in a reserved manner: “Master Marshal is well.”

 

Lu Shifeng said slowly: “Why do you have to be so polite, your grace? Since you’re already here, come take a seat.”

 

Zhan Wentai was a rather old-fashioned veteran. After he sat down, he smelled the fragrance of the dishes and spoke after a long silence, “These dishes seem to have the healing scent of dopamine.”

 

As a businessman, Nie Yan naturally had to weigh the pros and cons: “Would you like to have a taste to make sure, your grace?”

 

Zhan Wentai picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the fried shrimp.

 

Nie Yan asked him, “How is it?”

 

The veteran Zhan Wentai swallowed the food and said, “It tastes good.”

 

“…”

 

You are very humorous.

 

Nie Yan hesitated for a while: “What I’m asking is about the healing power you just talked about.”

 

“I see.” Zhan Wentai looked at Lu Shifeng instead: “Master Marshal should be more familiar with this taste.”

 

Lu Shifeng nodded slowly.

 

Nie Yan was at a loss and he turned his face: “Have you ever eaten this cooking?”

 

Lu Shifeng held a wine glass, slowly tilted it twice, and slightly opened his thin lips: “It should be more times than you’ve eaten it.”

 

? ? ?

 

As a shrewd businessman, Nie Yan would be humiliated often if he didn’t use his brain cells to carve his way through the business world.

 

He asked slowly, “Could it be that the cook hired by the military is the same as mine?”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “You’re about right.”

 

“You’re so sure?” Nie Yan pushed his glasses up, looked at Kazuki next to him and said, “Bring him over, let us meet.”

 

Kazuki looked hesitant.

 

Nie Yan had a bad feeling in his heart: “What’s wrong?”

 

“Boss, Mr. Jian is no longer with us. It’s already 7 o’clock and he has already left.” Kazuki went out of her way: “Because he said he won’t be able to catch the last bus if he didn’t leave!”

 

“…”

 

The reason was solid!

 

On the other side

 

When Jian Luo got out of the car, it was already late. He walked along the path to his house. When he got home, he saw a group of people around the door of the house. The group of people were chattering and the scene made his heart tighten.

 

Jian Luo walked back quickly and pushed the crowd aside: “Let me pass, let me pass.”

 

One of the women saw him and whispered, “Oh, Luoluo, you’re back. Quickly, go and have a look. There’s some commotion inside.”

 

Jian Luo frowned and walked quickly.

 

It was quite chaotic in the small courtyard. Su Liang was holding his younger brother’s hand while confronting a man and a woman. The man said, “You were the one who stole my star card, but you still refuse to admit it.”

 

Su Liang was so angry: “You’re giving a false accusation!”

 

“Am I giving a false accusation?” The man sneered and looked around at the crowd that was watching in excitement: “Everyone here can be the judge. She had a problem with work today, so I went to help, but when I came back, I found that my star card was gone. Later I found it here, was this not theft?”

 

The onlookers nodded.

 

A woman stood up and said, “Su Liang, didn’t auntie already tell you, we all know that you have two children at home and that you carry a big burden. However, this kind of thing is really unnecessary. Just listen to auntie and apologize to him. Return his money and it’ll be alright, hm?”

 

Su Liang’s eyes were red: “Auntie, I didn’t take his star card.”

 

The aunt sighed: “Su Liang, why are you so stubborn…”

 

As soon as she finished speaking, a clear voice came across: “I ask you this auntie, did you see my mother steal with your very own eyes?”

 

The aunt was taken aback.

 

All of the sudden, all eyes were on her.

 

The auntie’s eyes blinked guiltily as she coughed lightly, “No, no.”

 

Jian Luo sneered: “Then why did you decide that it was stolen by my mother?”

 

The woman was speechless for a moment.

 

Wu Qiang, who claimed to have had his things stolen, saw that something bad might happen so he spoke in a harsh tone: “What’s the matter with you here?”

 

Seeing that Jian Luo was back, Su Liang whispered, “Luoluo!”

 

Jian Luo walked quickly towards Su Liang and his younger brother. He pulled Su Liang aside and said in a low voice, “Mom, what’s going on?”

 

“I didn’t steal it.” Su Liang’s white face was full of sadness: “I don’t know why it was in my pocket. You have to trust your mother, Luoluo.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Mom, I believe you but you have to explain this to me. From the beginning to the end, so that I can make up my mind.”

 

Su Liang hesitated: “This…”

 

“There’s nothing wrong with this.” Jian Luo patiently said, “Mom, don’t treat me like a child anymore. I’ve already grown up. Now that you’ve seen the situation, do you want everyone to continue to wrong you?”

 

His tone was not aggressive, but firm and weighty.

 

Su Liang didn’t hesitate and told him: “Wu Qiang wanted to molest me today but he didn’t succeed. He threatened me and said that if I didn’t agree, there would be no good outcome to this. I thought that he would embarrass me at work, but I didn’t expect that he would use this method.”

 

Jian Luo asked, “How long were you with him?”

 

“Not long.” Su Liang frowned; “The timetable in our base is chaotic in order to keep up with the harvest time of vegetables so I can’t remember the exact time.”

 

Jian Luo immediately had an idea. He glanced at Wu Qiang not far away. The man was short and his eyes were a little dull.

 

Wu Qiang walked over: “What are you mumbling about? Let me tell you, the money on my star card is short and you must pay for it today!”

 

Jian Luo stood in front of Su Liang, and he smiled: “Brother Wu, did you specifically come here after finding that your card was lost?”

 

Wu Qiang said “en”: “Do you know that you have to pay me back by today?”

 

“Brother, why are you making such a fuss?” Jian Luo glanced at the crowd watching not far away, and then looked back: “To be frank, you have seen the situation in our family over the years, my brother and I have been hoping that our mother can find us a father who is indomitable.”

 

It was unknown which words pleased Wu Qiang, but there was a proud look on his face.

 

Su Liang gently tugged at Jian Luo’s sleeve from behind.

 

Jian Luo said softly: “Brother Wu Qiang, I think there is some misunderstanding today. You know my mother’s character, she doesn’t know how to be flexible. If you have something to tell me, I always felt that you were a good match for my mom.”

 

Wu Qiang’s gloomy eyes glanced at Su Liang, revealing yellow teeth: “I didn’t expect you to be sensible, little brother.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “I want to ask Brother Wu, what time did you lose your card?”

 

Wu Qiang drifted a little: “It was probably around three o’clock in the afternoon.”

 

The smile at the corner of Jian Luo’s mouth became bigger and bigger: “If you really lost your card around after three o’clock, then you are really amazing. You only found out that the card was lost when you got home so how did you know that you accurately lost it at three o’clock?”

 

Wu Qiang’s face turned ugly in an instant.

 

Jian Luo added: “The biological clock of the base is off. Unless you have planned the time to go to visit my mother to harass her, how could you have remembered it so clearly?”

 

The melon eaters 1Those who watch the drama, but do not interfere.not far away heard this and said:

“We know Mrs. Su’s attitude, she will never steal anything.”

“Don’t bully a woman’s family too much.”

 

Wu Qiang turned his head and roared, “Shut the f-ck up!”

 

When he got closer to Jian Luo, he took half a step back in fright: “Uncle, can I ask you to be quieter? I’m afraid.”

 

Wu Qiang sneered: “You also know how to be afraid?”

 

Jian Luo patted his chest: “Of course I know. If a dog barks at me, how can I not be afraid?”

 

“You!”

 

Wu Qiang’s face turned blue with anger

 

Jian Luo held his head high and held Su Liang’s hand: “Mom, I just recorded what was just said. He is suspected of falsely slandering others. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to find the leader of your base to make it clear. They must also have cameras over there so this matter will definitely be cleared up.”

 

Su Liang’s eyelashes trembled slightly, she was quite moved: “Luoluo!”

 

Wu Qiang heard a lot of voices talking about him behind his back, but his ugly face didn’t have any fear, instead he was proud: “Report me? I advise you to think clearly. Do you know who my sister is married to? In the entire Peace Paradise, only my sister is married to a dark star.”

 

After a pause, he leaned down and looked at Su Liang with contempt in his eyes: “Mark my brother-in-law’s words, you will soon be out of job so I advise you to think carefully. The two children in your family still have to go to school!”

 

As he spoke, Wu Qiang raised his hand, wanting to touch Su Liang’s face. The pair of squinting eyes also seemed to have gathered infinite malice in them, but it was too bad that those hands were stopped in the air. Jian Luo threw his hands down. With a single burst of strength, he folded Wu Qiang’s arm in half, and kicked him between the legs.

 

“What!?”

 

A scream resounded throughout the courtyard.

 

Jian Luo let go of him before kicking him to the ground. He then went up and kicked him two more times in frustration.

 

“Ah!” Wu Qiang grabbed his crotch on the ground and said fiercely: “You dare to hit me? Just wait, you are so dead and it’s all over for your family!”

 

Jian Luo stood by and sneered: “Your sister is married to a Dark Star. It’s as if you’re also married to him, why are you proud?”

 

Wu Qiang said gravely: “You are finished. My brother-in-law will not let you go.”

 

“Wow, I’m so scared.” Jian Luo looked down at him condescendingly and snorted softly, “Didn’t she just manage to get a Dark Star as a partner? It’s not like it has never happened before.”

 

The audience was in an uproar as soon as these words came out.

 

For the people of Peace Paradise, it was either a very good thing or a very bad thing to be involved with a Dark Star.

 

Wu Qiang sat up and sneered with his eyes: “Only you are not afraid of over-bragging. Who will even look at you? With the condition of your family, let alone the Dark Stars, even humans don’t want to touch you!”

Chapter 28 – Wanwan, how do you know we can't do it if we don't try?

Chapter 28 – Wanwan, how do you know we can’t do it if we don’t try?

 

Xing Zhongwan arrived at the Xing family’s estate. Xing Zhengping hardly showed his face to him, however…

 

“You’ve arrived. I just happen to have something to discuss with you!”

 

Xing Zhongwan raised his eyebrows, “Saying it with such vigour.. Just spill the beans, what sort of good thing happened to me?”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s hand touched the corner of a cabinet made of chinese rosewood. This used to be his grandfather’s study. As a child, when his grandfather had not passed away yet, he lived with the Xing family.  

 

Xing Zhongwan touched the chipped corner of the cabinet and remembered his grandfather’s expression at that time. He had been holding a cane in his hand, “What have you done?”

 

The young Xing Zhongwan shrank back. He did not dare admit it, but he also didn’t dare to lie. Whispering a yes, he burst into tears. His grandfather just stared at him. Why was he crying before he had even begun to do anything? He just poured a cup of tea and watched him cry.

 

When he was done crying, he waved to him and raised his hand to wipe his tears.

 

“Good boy… crying like a little girl. It’s already broken, It’s not like I’ll eat you for breaking this cabinet. Silly child!”

 

His grandfather smiled and touched his head, Xing Zhongwan shrank into his grandfather’s arms and sobbed softly. 

 

“Grandpa, I won’t dare to do this anymore. I will study hard and study drama well. Then I’ll sing to grandpa. Don’t be angry.”

 

The old man laughed and Xing Zhongwan will never forget that hearty laughter.

 

“Did you hear what I just said?” Xing Zhengping’s question pulled Xing Zhongwan out of his thoughts. Xing Zhongwan looked at him with contempt, “What did you say?”

 

Xing Zhengping was so angry that he almost got an aneurysm, “You just ignored your own father!?”

 

Xing Zhongwan sat on the desk with a smile, “So you do still remember that you’re my father. You removed me from the family ledger so I have no relation with the Xing family, ’father’!”

 

Xing Zhengping convulsed angrily and raised his finger to point at him, “You! You!”

 

Suppressing his anger he said, “I don’t care about you. The Qi family wants you to marry Qi Yun. What do you think about this?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment before he sneered, “How should two men get married? I also want to ask you, my father. What do you think?”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought to himself, What the hell was the Qi family doing? A marriage?  Between him and Qi Yun? Was this some sort of international joke?

 

Xing Zhengping coughed awkwardly, “What else can I do? The Xing family can’t overrule the Qi family now. What should I do?”

 

Xing Zhongwan put his hands on his chest, “Did you agree?”

 

Xing Zhengping turned his face away reflexively. Xing Zhongwan got up from the desk, “No way!”

 

After passing Xing Zhengping, he wanted to leave the room. Xing Zhengping anxiously took two steps forward, “As long as you agree, I will sign the consent form tomorrow. Then your mother can enter Xing’s registry at any time.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned back coldly, “You’re threatening me using my mother?” Xing Zhengping looked at Xing Zhongwan’s dark face and dared not look again directly. He was much taller than himself when his son stood in front of him, making him seem lacking in prestige.

 

Xing Zhengping went out of his way, “Anyway, even if you don’t agree and decide to kill me, I will never let your mother enter the Xing family.”

 

As Xing Zhongwan slowly approached Xing Zhengping, his fists were clenched tightly. Xing Zhengping’s face darkened and he gulped down, “What do you want? You still want to beat up your own father?”

 

Xing Zhongwan unclenched his fist, “You know I have another way of letting my mother into the Xing family.”

 

Xing Zhengping’s face turned white, “You don’t know just how much your mother loved the Xing family. You don’t want to tarnish the Xing family’s name so that your mother can’t rest her eyes as she’s in the ground, do you? I know you are very capable now, but as long as I am still the head of the Xing family, your mother can’t enter the Xing family without my approval. Xing Zhongwan, is that clear?”

 

Xing Zhongwan went to the ancestral hall and placed a stick of incense on his grandfather’s grave. This was the first time he has stepped into this place in more than ten years after being away from home. Looking at the portrait of his grandfather, Xing Zhongwan knelt down and kowtowed to him. Mr. Xing did not like to take pictures all his life, so he only had this portrait left of him when he was young. Xing Zhongwan got up and looked at the face on the portrait that was almost the same as his own. Xing Zhongwan’s eyes reddened. His grandfather never married but he took in his mother as an adopted daughter. She was mostly brought up by his grandfather who taught her how to become a well-known lady in the circle. Xing Zhongwan had never seen his mother’s beautiful face. The mother that he remembered was already in poor health and her face was haggard. She could only hear of her dazzling beauty from other people, because his mother, just like his grandfather, generally did not like her picture taken. There were very few photos of her when she was young. When she passed away, Xing Zhongwan worked hard to find a graduation photo of her for the funeral. Her face was serious but beautiful.

 

Such an excellent mother married some trash like Xing Zhengping. This was the reason that made him love and hate his grandfather to this day. It was his grandfather who gave his mother a second chance at life but also pushed her into the abyss with his own hands.

 

Xing Zhongwan blinked and stared at his grandfather’s portrait for a long time. His grandfather’s pupils had a touch of blue. Xing Zhongwan lowered his eyes and what his mother said before her death came to mind. I grew up in the Xing family and watched your grandfather work hard until now. No matter what, you can’t make your grandfather ashamed, or I’d rather die. I won’t have the courage to face him.

 

Xing Zhongwan slowly closed his eyes and opened them again. If you look closely, you will find that Xing Zhongwan’s pupils also had a faint hint of blue.

 

Madam Qi raised her eyes and looked at the son she hadn’t seen for a long time. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, “You are my own son, why would I want you to die?”

 

Qi Yun rubbed his aching knee, “I was carried away by my grandmother as soon as I was born. You have never seen me for as long as I can remember. You have no feelings for me. I might be your son, yes, it’s just a fragile relationship bound by blood. I do believe that you were really happy when I came back to you after grandma died, but that happiness gradually turned into worry as I grew up. All because I did not grow as per your expectations, into a doll that can be manipulated. You started to be afraid. Afraid that you can’t control me and afraid that efforts to obtain power will be in vain. You needed a more obedient heir. Compared to power, what is your son? Even if they are your son, you’ll terminate anyone who stands in your way yourself. Am I right, mother?!”

 

Madam Qi listened quietly. She took a few steps and sat on the side chair, looking at her son. Although he looked like her, his temperament was just like that old woman, and she liked to go against her!

 

“You think too much!” Madam Qi patted the dust off her cuff.

 

Qi Yun raised his head and looked straight ahead, “Is the young fourth master obedient? It seems that he is qualified to be your puppet doll. Mother, I already gave you the conditions, please keep your side of the promise.”

 

Madam Qi looked at Qi Yun seriously. This son has changed a lot compared to when the accident recently happened. 

 

Although his eyes were still dull, his legs were still bad and he was sitting down, there was some semblance of his past demeanor. Madam Qi suppressed the panic in her heart and said in a low voice, “Is it worth it? For one person… You actually compromised.”

 

“You’re holding me hostage here. Leaving me hanging, just to make me compromise. I’ve compromised, mother. Aren’t you satisfied? I’ll do as you say, I only need Wanwan.”

 

Madam Qi heard the determination in Qi Yun’s words. Yes, this is what she always wanted to hear from Qi Yun’s mouth, and her goal was achieved, but Xing Zhongwan was a variable she never expected.

 

Qi Yun actually wanted to marry a man? Did he not find out that Xing Zhongwan was a man?

 

Madam Qi has doubts in her heart, she has never read her son’s mind. After more than a year of humiliation, he even gave up his initial plans for a man. Madam Qi’s heart felt complicated. Qi Yun, even you, my best son, will face something like this today too.

 

Madam Qi got up and walked to the door, “As you wish!”

 

When Xing Zhong came back late in the evening, he did not know that Madam Qi had been here. He went upstairs to see Qi Yun. Qi Yun was coming out of the bathroom. The old housekeeper looked up at Xing Zhongwan and quietly exited the room. Xing Zhongwan pushed the person to the bedside but Qi Yun suddenly said, “Let’s go for a walk in the garden.”

 

Xing Zhongwan pushed Qi Yun for a walk in the small garden. The breeze blowing in front of him was very comfortable. At first, Qi Yun really didn’t know how to start a conversation with Xing Zhongwan, but Xing Zhongwan spoke first, “I went back to Xing’s house today, and Xing Zhengping said you wanted to marry me.”

 

Qi Yun was stunned when he suddenly heard what Xing Zhongwan said and accidentally broke his fingernails while fiddling with his fingers. Qi Yun frowned and hissed before Xing Zhongwan looked down at him with a funny look, “Don’t get too excited!”

 

Qi Yun turned his face away in embarrassment, “Did you accept?”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at him speechlessly, “How can two men get married? No matter how powerful your Qi family is, the law cannot recognize the legal relationship between two men.”

 

Qi Yun looked at Xing Zhongwan, “My mother doesn’t know, she thought I still believed that you’re a woman. In order to achieve her goal, she will definitely try to cover it up.”

 

Xing Zhongwan looked serious, “What did you promise her?”

 

Qi Yun turned his head away, “Don’t worry about it, even if it’s just my own selfishness. I don’t want you to leave.”

 

Xing Zhongwan laughed angrily at him, “Qi Yun, wake up, okay? Even if you can get a marriage certificate, it’ll be fake. It has no legal effect, and if I really wanted to leave, can you stop me? Shall we play house and let your mother join us?”

 

“It’s okay, even if it’s fake.”

 

Qi Yun’s soft words were blown away by a gust of breeze.

 

Xing Zhongwan suddenly forgot his anger and covered his forehead, he didn’t know if he wanted to cry or laugh.

 

After a long time, he said, “You love me too much.”

 

Qi Yun’s neck turned red again, Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help it and laughed out loud. His laughter startled a few flying insects in the grass.

 

Qi Yun pursed his lips tightly, “If my legs are good, if I’m not blind, I…I’ll…”

 

Xing Zhongwan deliberately teased him, “You! What else can you do, bind me to your side like this? Hahaha, can you fight me with such a frail body? Hey! You!”

 

Suddenly being pulled down, Xing Zhongwan squatted on the ground, something warm on his lips leaned over, and stared at the turbid eyes in front of him with wide eyes.

 

Laozi was f/cking kissed again.

 

Qi Yun moved his lips away reluctantly before wrapping  his arms around Xing Zhongwan’s waist. He put his head on his shoulder and sighed softly, “Wanwan, I will get better, please stay by my side until then. When I get better, we will go abroad to get married. I will give you a legal and stable relationship. This right now is only temporary. Maybe what I am doing now is ridiculous to you, but it is the only way I can keep you. We still have a chance, Wanwan. How would you know we can’t do it if you don’t try.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was dumbfounded as a kiss gently landed on his ear. The air was filled with the scent of pine wood on his body and the medicinal smell on Qi Yun’s body.


T/N: Qi Yun sure like kisses… He should give plenty of kiths to his waifu to show him how much he loves him (─‿‿─)

Chapter 14 – Who's one is delicious?

Chapter 14 – Who’s one is delicious?

 

The black dragon still didn’t eat Jian Luo’s vegetables filled with love in the end. His dragon savior was very arrogant and after a few glances at Jian Luo, he flew away mercilessly, taking a cloud with him.

 

Jian Luo looked at the black dragon’s back and sighed: “It seems that Brother dragon doesn’t like vegetable salad!”

 

Secretary Jin just came back from eating and waved, “Luoluo, come here.”

 

Jian Luo looked to the side sideways and smiled when he saw Secretary Jin: “Is there something wrong?”

 

“It’s nothing.” Secretary Jin pulled back the fringe on her temples and said with a smile, “It’ll be up to here for today. You can go back earlier.”

 

Jian Luo was surprised: “Is this all right, but it doesn’t seem like it’s time to get off work.”

 

Secretary Jin said quickly, “It’s okay, you can go back after you’ve finished your work today. Of course, you can continue to play for a while if you don’t want to go back. I’m just letting you know.”

 

It was difficult for Jian Luo to control the smile on the corner of his mouth.

 

Oh my god.

 

What kind of magical welfare company is this?

 

If he were to die, he wanted to die here!

 

Jian Luo said embarrassedly: “Then I have a vegetable salad here. Do you want to eat it?”

 

Secretary Jin pretended to be reserved: “Is that okay?”

 

“It’s not much.” Jian Luo gave her the meal box: “It was originally for Brother dragon but he doesn’t seem to be interested. It’s a waste if you don’t take it.”

 

Secretary Jin quickly took it: “Then, I won’t hold back.”

 

There was urgent news that the marshal was to go to the palace and it seemed that he would not be back again so Secretary Jin came to leak it to Jian Luo as soon as she got the news.

 

Hey, wasn’t she smart and witty1She’s so happy she got a free salad from Jian Luo.!?

 

After Jian Luo gave her the salad, she waved her hand: “Then I’ll get going.”

 

Secretary Jin smiled: “Goodbye!”

 

Jian Luo turned around and was about to leave. The little dragons around were very curious about this human being and they all came over and wanted to get close, but they were afraid of Lu Shifeng, so they didn’t dare to get too close.

 

There was a little dragon with a big courage and he came over secretly.

 

Jian Luo rubbed on the dragon’s scales: “What do you like to eat?”

 

The small dragon shook his head in dissatisfaction and patted his tail on the ground. It felt very angry. This human dared to touch the head of a noble dragon!

 

Jian Luo smiled and walked out the door: “Forget it, you won’t understand me anyway, so I’ll leave now.”

 

The small dragon stared dumbfoundedly as the human figure disappeared.

 

Who was the one who didn’t understand?

 

Come back if you dare!

 

Of course it was impossible that Jian Luo would come back. He went to the cafeteria to clean up and was about to leave. The information bracelet on his wrist kept receiving messages.

 

A person named Kazuki sent a message: “Don’t you want to consider coming to Moonlight? Come to us and you’ll have the opportunity to cultivate new varieties of vegetables.”

 

To grow new vegetables!

 

Jian Luo’s eyes lit up and he was convinced.

 

The military base was not far from Moonlight. He said, “Okay, I’ll go take a look.”

 

Kazuki was very happy: “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

 

Jian Luo made an agreement with her and got ready to go there by car. Firstly, it was because he really hoped to cultivate new types of vegetables. The taste of chili peppers have long haunted him in his dreams.

 

Second was because…

 

Jian Luo still wanted to buy a house.

 

However, if you need a Dark Star account to buy a house, and if you require a major contribution to Dark Star, it is definitely not possible to just be an anchor. However, it may be feasible if he were to cultivate new types of vegetables.

 

When the new vegetables are successfully cultivated, he will apply for a household registration, then maybe he will be able to buy a house for his family!

 

“We will be arriving at Moonlight at the next station. Passengers who want to get off please take your belongings and exit in an orderly manner.”

 

The electronic sound of the machine came from the car’s small speaker.

 

Jian Luo came back to his senses and got out of the car. The Moonlight Hotel was really just like what he’s heard. It was a crescent-shaped building of a brilliant and beautiful golden moon.

 

He opened the information bracelet and sent a message to Kazuki: “I’m here.”

 

Not long after the message was sent, a figure appeared at the door. It was a little girl wearing a pink skirt and she looked very young.

 

Kazuki walked up to Jian Luo: “Hello.”

 

Jian Luo shook hands with her: “Hello, I’m Jian Luo.”

 

“I know, I know. It’s too late to explain, but come with me quickly.” Kazuki pulled him into the restaurant in a panic.

 

Jian Luo was dragged away by her in a daze.

 

The inside of the hotel is even more resplendent. If the military base only looked golden from the outside, but only had a stylish interior, then this place looked tame on the outside and had a very luxurious appearance on the inside!

 

The two stopped when they reached the kitchen.

 

Kazuki said, “You want the right to cultivate vegetables, right?”

 

Jian Luo was honest: “Yes.”

 

“Then, you can start by making some special dishes.” Minyue glanced at the time: “Hurry up.”

 

Jian Luo thought that she was being secretive, but didn’t seem like she was in a hurry: “Are you in a hurry?”

 

This could be counted as a small kitchen, but although the place was small it was complete, the vegetables and meat were placed in order on the freezer shelf with all kinds of kitchen utensils of the best quality.

 

Kazuki lowered her voice: “Then, let me tell you the truth. Today is our boss’s inspection day and what he cares about the ​​most is one’s value. Do you know how precious the seeds of vegetables are? You humans don’t bring much to the table. The cost of failure when cultivating is very heavy, so it is difficult to obtain a position as a cultivator.”

 

Jian Luo: “So what?”

 

“That’s why you have to prove your worth!” Kazuki’s little tiger fangs pointed sharply: “If you succeed, the boss will definitely use you again.”

 

Jian Luo looked at her and was silent for a long time: “So you mean, you lied to me. In fact, you didn’t have a quota on the people who are allowed to cultivate vegetables, right?”

 

Kazuki coughed a little embarrassedly: “Is this important if the ending is good and all the same?”

 

“…”

 

After such a reminder, Jian Luo finally realized the seriousness of the matter. In fact, the little girl was right. The right to cultivate was indeed not so easy to obtain. He has to work hard!

 

He can’t make snacks anymore.

 

A serious dish is coming!

 

“Do you need these ingredients?”

 

“You can use it.”

 

Jian Luo started to work in earnest. He would work hard to obtain a household registration. On the other side, a top-level luxury car stopped at the entrance of Moonlight and two people got out of it.

 

Lu Shifeng was wearing a military uniform. With a straight posture, his military cap was held in his slender hands. The man’s face was cold as he glanced at the restaurant indifferently.

 

Nie Yan came from behind him: “Let’s go.”

 

Lu Shifeng said: “It’s your inspection day, why did you drag me out here?.”

 

“My subordinates reported to me that they dug up a good cook.” Nie Yan’s body seemed to be plated with gold: “They should be of good value.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “I remember that I asked Secretary Jin to send you an email saying that I will not be ordering Moonlight’s meals in the future.”

 

The two of them have already walked to Moonlight’s entrance and the waiters stood in a row. Bowing in unison, they said loudly: “Welcome to Moonlight!”

 

Nie Yan twisted the ring on his finger with a shrewd smile on his face: “It’s not too late to try it first before coming to a conclusion.”

 

Lu Shifeng sneered: “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the chef’s head off if it doesn’t taste good?”

 

Nie Yan was taken aback.

 

To be honest, when Lu Shifeng was moody, it’s hard to say what he would do.

 

“You take it easy.” Nie Yan pushed up his glasses: “His Majesty recently asked you to allow others to have a kind impression of you.”

 

Lu Shifeng said lazily, “Take the chef’s head off kindly?”

 

“…”

 

The conversation was over.

 

The two of them went to the top floor together. If the decoration in the hall was splendid before, then this was on a whole other level. It was really priceless. As the wealthiest man in the world, Nie Yan has thoroughly implemented the word “wealth” to the maximum.

 

Nie Yan spoke as he walked: “Did you see the ruby ​​in the middle? I bought it from Neptune for 3,000,000 credits. Its function is to attract wealth from the town building. Not bad, right?”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids and glanced: “It is indeed very good at attracting wealth.”

 

Nie Yan’s mouth curled into a smug smile: “Really?”

 

Lu Shifeng said slowly: “Wasn’t it what attracted you to it2He’s saying the previous owner sold it, so now the previous owner is wealthy. While Nie Yan was the one who spent money and bought it.?”

 

“…”

 

If you weren’t a dragon, I’d really fight you today.

 

The two walked in while talking. They would soon reach the dining table. From a distance, they saw three dishes on the table.

 

Lu Shifeng took the time to relax: “I didn’t know that Moonlight had become so confused to this point.”

 

Nie Yan was also stunned. He raised his eyebrows and said, “These are just appetizers.”

 

Kazuki, who was guarding the table next to him, bit the bullet and said, “Boss, these three dishes are all for dinner.”

 

“…”

 

Nie Yan and Lu Shifeng came closer and saw what the dishes were. In the middle was a plate of fried shrimp. The golden and crispy shrimp were beautifully arranged, and the delicate plating raised the shrimps to another level. On the left was an egg custard and on the right was four meatballs.

 

They were all fragrant and seemed very tasty.

 

Nie Yan calmed down a little and asked Lu Shifeng to try: “Have a taste.”

 

Lu Shifeng ate two mouthfuls to show him some courtesy.

 

Nie Yan was a little proud: “How is it? I paid a lot of money to invite them.”

 

Lu Shifeng said lightly, “Not bad.”

 

“That’s good then.” Nie Yan made a sound: “The military will continue to order from Moonlight, are there any other problems?”

 

Lu Shifeng put down his chopsticks: “No, I already have a chef.”

 

Nie Yan didn’t believe it, the chef he invited at a high price and was willing to spend the quota on, already prepared this unparalleled taste. What other heavenly genius could beat him?

 

Even if there was someone like that, he’s never heard any news of a chef of such a high caliber in Dark Star at all. 

 

Thinking of this, Nie Yan was confident, “Your’s is definitely not as good as mine.”

 

“Not as good?” Lu Shifeng sneered: “The dishes on the table are far worse than mine.”

 

Nie Yan did not believe in heretics: “Really? Then I’ll have to see who’s chef is the true genius.”

 

Lu Shifeng tapped his fingertips on the table: “I’m also very curious about the talent you hired at a high price.”

 


T/N: Erm, excuse me, Lu Shifeng… Did you just diss your future hubby’s cooking? Just wait. Just you wait…
