After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant
Chapter 038
crossed the line?
Shi Yunnan thought about this word, subconsciously let out a wry smile.
Looking at Luo Lingsheng in front of him, he suddenly felt that he might have made a mistake. He thought that the two had developed other feelings based on the 'agreement'.
But now a simple word pulled his reason.
It turned out that in Luo Lingsheng's heart, he was just an outsider who had crossed the line.
"..."
A new round of silence spread.
Luo Lingsheng suddenly didn't dare to look directly into Shi Yunnan's eyes. After living for so many years, for the first time, he was deeply trapped in self-blame, inferiority complex and guilt and couldn't break free.
While breathing hard, his tense heartstrings were almost torn.
Shi Yunnan slowly got up.
Just when Luo Lingsheng thought that Shi Yunnan was going to leave, what turned out to be correct was that he pushed the far wheelchair back in front of him.
Yes.
It may be difficult for Luo Lingsheng to get a seat in the wheelchair by himself.
"I know what you are afraid of, but the inconvenience of your legs has never been your problem. You have already lived a better life than most people."
Shi Yunnan lowered his eyes, quietly looking at Luo Lingsheng on the ground like a trapped beast, he couldn't tell whether he felt more for the other party or himself more.
"Luo Lingsheng, I'm leaving now."
"Get up by yourself."
After saying these words, Shi Yunnan quickly walked out of the training room. When he stepped out of the gate, he happened to bump into Luo Rong who was coming.
The two faced each other, and Luo Rong was a little surprised, "Mr. Shi? Is Lingsheng in there?"
"exist."
Shi Yunnan suppressed the growing astringency in his heart, "But you'd better not bother him right now."
Before Luo Lingsheng got back into his wheelchair, he probably didn't want anyone to see him in a mess.
After Shi Yunnan finished speaking, he quickly passed her by.
Luo Rong stopped on the spot for a while, and her natural intuition as a woman told her——
There seemed to be something wrong with Shi Yunnan's mood.
However, the two are always strangers meeting for the first time, and there are some things that are not easy for her to ask.
Luo Rong waited outside for two or three minutes according to Shi Yunan's wishes, and then walked in.
...
Shi Yunnan suppressed the rising chaos in his mind and walked more than ten meters away, then stopped unwillingly.
He lowered his head and stepped on the small stone under his feet, and muttered as if venting, "Out of line? Did I overstep?"
If I really crossed the line, I would have climbed into your Luo Lingsheng's bed long ago!It's really that the head of the house is used to it, and he can jump out of anything!
But after thinking about it, Shi Yunnan also understood.
Luo Lingsheng just cared too much about his legs, that's why he used harsh words to suppress him in a moment of impatience.
Shi Yunnan caught a glimpse of the couple watch on his wrist from the corner of his eye, and his mood fluctuated again, but after a moment of hesitation, he immediately turned back and walked towards the training room.
It's been like this anyway.
Some thoughts, he can't vomit.
The worst result is that Luo Lingsheng can't accept it, and the two of them get together and part ways.
Shi Yunnan returned to the independent training room, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard a faint conversation. He subconsciously slowed down his footsteps, and even suppressed the urge to enter the door to confess.
Shi Yunnan stood at the blind corner of the corner, and he could vaguely see the situation inside through the frosted glass obliquely——
One person in the room is Luo Rong who is standing, and the other person is Luo Lingsheng who has already sat back in a wheelchair.
Shi Yunnan knew that eavesdropping on other people's speech was not a moral thing, so he was about to enter the room out loud, but Luo Rong's question suddenly made him freeze in place.
"Why did you get married suddenly? Or with Mr. Shi?"
At this second, even though he knew it was impolite to 'overhear', Shi Yunnan still stood at the corner and did not move.
Luo Lingsheng in the room was silent and did not speak, but Luo Rong continued the topic, "I remember you had someone you really liked before? Didn't you plan to chase someone before the Luo family did something serious?"
"..."
For a moment, the light in Shi Yunnan's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly recalled the conversations of the servants that he overheard by chance before entering Luo's.
——Is there someone in the owner's heart?Who, how do you know?
——I also listened to other people's guesses. The head of the family had a very favorite object before, but before he could pursue him, he had an accident and injured his leg.
Shi Yunnan always thought that these gossips were just a joke made up by the servants, but now that even Luo Rong said similar things, he knew that everything was true.
Luo Lingsheng had Bai Yueguang in his heart, and he was just an outsider who 'married by agreement' and could not cross the line.
Shi Yunnan's hands hanging on both sides were unconsciously clenched into fists, and the courage that had finally surged out under impulse was completely broken.
He was afraid that staying here would only hear more things he didn't want to hear, so he turned around slightly stiffly, and walked away as if escaping.
The conversation in the house continued.
It was rare for Luo Rong to see Luo Lingsheng distracted, and she asked in surprise, "Lingsheng? What are you thinking? I finally came to see you, but you are out of my mind here?"
"I just saw that Mr. Shi ran out in the wrong state. Did you two quarrel?"
Luo Lingsheng's older sister was about the same age as Luo Rong, and although the elders fought openly and secretly, the two cousins had a good relationship since they were young, even Luo Lingsheng and Luo Rong had a good relationship.
At that time, before the Luo family had any major incidents, the three siblings gathered together to drink and chat. It was only after his own sister and cousin coaxed and questioned him that Luo Lingsheng reluctantly said, "I have someone I like in my heart."
But the good times didn't last long, Mr. Luo died of a heart attack not long after, and after that, the whole family continued to fight openly and secretly.
Luo Lingsheng went through a lot of hardships to become the head of the family. So many people in the imperial capital tried to catch his eye one after another, but the results were all there——
None of them will succeed.
Some people approached with unreasonable thoughts, and the end was even more miserable.
Everyone said that Luo Lingsheng definitely didn't plan to find a partner.
When these things got to Luo Rong's ears, she took it for granted that her cousin still had that secret crush in her heart, but because of the inconvenience of her legs, she kept suppressing her and refused to act.
But she did not expect that news of Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan's marriage certificate would suddenly come out this year.
No, after finally catching up with Kong to return to China, she naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Luo Lingsheng's eyes revealed complex and remorse, and he asked, "Did you meet him just now?"
"Yes, I feel that he is not in a good mood." Luo Rong told the truth, her curiosity grew stronger, "Tell me quickly, what's going on with you two?"
She really didn't expect that Luo Lingsheng's character could actually have a flash marriage with someone else.
"As you can see, I am serious about marrying him."
Luo Lingsheng's answer was very brief.
He is not a person who likes to reveal his private life to the outside world.
Luo Rong asked again, "...Then the person in your heart has been let go now?"
"There was never anyone else."
A simple answer completely shocked Luo Rong in place.
She let out an unbelievable short laugh, obviously not expecting that with her cousin, the person in front of her is the person she loves.
Luo Lingsheng didn't care about her reaction, he just asked, "Don't presume this in front of Yun Nan, I don't want to burden him."
The two of them are in the form of 'marriage by agreement', if one day Shi Yunnan gets tired of this kind of life, he can let the other party go at any time.
Since the accident, he struggled to heal his leg, but every time he was hopeless and then lost.
If he was doomed to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he shouldn't have forced Shi Yunnan to do any 'out of bounds' behavior.
He doesn't care anymore in this life, but he can't harm Shi Yunnan.
Luo Rong was measured, "Don't worry, I'm going to fly abroad this afternoon, and I don't know when I'll return to China next time. I won't meddle in the affairs of your husband and wife."
She looked at Luo Lingsheng's legs, and mentioned the important business of coming here this time, "By the way, I have something important to tell you."
"what?"
"I entrusted your cousin-in-law to contact you with the most authoritative neurology team in the world, Bence's team, which happened to be from the same source as the Dr. Miche team you received treatment before."
Luo Rong married a foreigner who was the director of a foreign private hospital and had many medical connections.
In the past two years regarding Luo Lingsheng, the husband and wife have bothered a lot.
"They came into contact with a patient half a year ago. The situation was similar to yours. After half a year of rest and rehabilitation after the operation, although they haven't reached the level of normal people, at least they don't need to rely on a wheelchair to live all day."
"The teams of both parties that your brother-in-law directly contacted gave a general overview of your situation. The two parties discussed and studied for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that 'you can try', but there is no guarantee."
"The most difficult point is that the success rate of the operation is very low, and if this treatment fails, your sciatic nerve may not be able to withstand excessive rehabilitation and treatment..."
In other words, the chance of a successful operation is much lower than the risk of a failed operation.
Luo Lingsheng was silent for a long time after hearing these words.
Luo Rong knew that this matter was difficult to handle, so she had to give a suggestion first, "Your brother-in-law means that if you are willing, you'd better undergo another comprehensive inspection and let the teams of both parties re-evaluate based on your current situation. "
Everyone is an independent individual, and the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail.
As for the matter of money, what the Luo family lacks most is money, as long as there is hope for a cure, then everything is easy to negotiate.
"When can I make an appointment for an inspection?" Luo Lingsheng asked determinedly, Shi Yunnan's eyes only appeared in his mind.
"I think the sooner the better."
"If you are in a hurry, go abroad with me this afternoon? I guessed that you would not give up. I talked to your brother-in-law on the phone yesterday. If you are sure, you should be able to make an appointment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Luo Lingsheng replied, "Okay."
……
The wind from both sides of the car window rushed in crazily, whistling in Shi Yunnan's ears, but even so, it couldn't extinguish the indescribable anxiety in his heart.
He felt that his actions over the past three months were absurd and ridiculous.
Because of one night's dream, she exchanged a paper agreement, and then tied herself up because of it, and fell in love with someone she shouldn't like.
In the end, it wasn't even his turn to confess to Luo Lingsheng, so he realized that he was just an extra person.
When he thought that he was messing around with Luo Lingsheng on the basis of the so-called 'agreement', and even called him 'husband' twice or three times, he felt ashamed as never before.
Shi Yunnan suppressed the choked sobs that welled up in his throat, and simply parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road.
He took out his phone and looked through it.
Wen Yibei just experienced a quarrel at the banquet yesterday, Shi Yunnan didn't want to continue to bring his negative emotions to the other party.
Shi Yunnan thought for a while, and immediately called his friend.
The phone beeped for a while before being connected by Fu Ziyu, "Hello, son, what are you doing?"
"Are you at the nightclub?" Shi Yunnan asked.
Fu Ziyu was stunned for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, who's nightclub is doing business during the day? There will be activities in the nightclub this week, and I'm so busy that I don't go to bed until four or five in the morning. I'm almost tired gone."
Fu Ziyu's voice on the phone was indeed full of exhaustion. He seemed to be half asleep and asked, "What's the matter? I'll get up and look for you now?"
"Forget it, it's nothing important."
Shi Yunnan refused, trying to pretend to be relaxed, "I just feel like I haven't sat down with you for a long time and had a good drink. The last time I was in a nightclub before it even started, something like Yuan Rui happened temporarily."
"Ham, isn't that easy? You come here tonight, and I'll have a drink with you."
Through the phone, Fu Ziyu, who was awakened in his sleep, did not notice anything unusual about his friend.
He slowed down for a while, and joked leisurely, "However, you should talk to Luo Lingsheng first, lest he..."
Hearing this name, Shi Yunnan frowned and interrupted, "Stop talking, go to sleep."
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry as if escaping, and he felt even worse in his heart.
Shi Yunnan looked at the few names recorded in the contact book, and felt a void in his heart.
He hasn't returned to China many times in these years. Without the "agreement relationship" with Luo Lingsheng, he would have nowhere to go abroad at all. Just like now, he can't find a place to hide temporarily.
Just as I was thinking, an unfamiliar phone number called.
Shi Yunnan hesitated for a while, then connected the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, is this Mr. Shi?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was familiar, Shi Yunnan thought for a while, and the owner of the voice automatically appeared in his mind.
"Lu Zhaoan?"
"It's me, I'm taking the liberty to contact you like this. Last time you left a phone number when you bought jade carvings at Yuan's, I asked the clerk for them privately." Lu Zhaoan calmly explained the reason.
Shi Yunnan had a good impression of this character, "Well, what's the matter with Mr. Lu?"
Lu Zhaoan got straight to the point, "Is it convenient for Mr. Shi to meet these two days? I have a cooperation in jade design and I want to talk to you."
Shi Yunnan was surprised when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Lu Zhaoan to mention this matter.
He looked at the speeding vehicles on the road, and thought of his current situation of doing nothing, and was thinking of finding something to divert his attention.
"It's fine now, where can we meet?"
Lu Zhao'an didn't expect Shi Yunnan to agree so readily, he was slightly taken aback and replied, "Mr. Shi will decide the location, since I have something to ask, then I'll go find you."
"it is good."
……
Half an hour later, Shi Yunnan sank on the soft sofa, quietly listening to the melodious tune from the store.
After talking on the phone with Lu Zhao'an, he found a nearby Qingba with good online reviews.
There was a welcome sound at the door.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyes and saw Lu Zhao'an's figure. The other party obviously saw him immediately and walked over.
"Mr. Shi, hello."
"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" Shi Yunnan sat upright.
Lu Zhaoan caught a glimpse of the drink in front of him, and replied calmly, "Same as you, lemon black tea, I'm driving."
After hearing this, the waiter at the side immediately went down to prepare.
Shi Yunnan took a sip of black tea, "Mr. Lu, how did you know that I can design?"
Lu Zhao'an said, "It's easy to say, the jade beads on the shell of Lou's new product are provided by our Yuan."
When Shi Yunnan heard this coincidence, he couldn't help but sighed softly.
As the current core person in charge of Yuan's, Lu Zhao'an naturally knew the popularity of Lou's new product designs in the market, and this series of designs was his favorite national style, so he took the initiative to ask Lou's about the design of this series of products division.
Then, I accidentally got the name of 'Shi Yunnan'.
Not only that, but he also learned one thing from Mrs. Lou's supplement: Shi Yunnan seems to have a lot of research on jewelry, and he should have been engaged in related design before.
After coming and going, Lu Zhao'an became more and more determined to contact Shi Yunnan.
While talking, the waiter brought the drink up.
After waiting for the other party to leave, Shi Yunnan asked, "What does the jade design that Mr. Lu just mentioned on the phone mean?"
Lu Zhao'an sincerely needed cooperation, and answered Shi Yunnan's questions earnestly.
"To be honest, the Yuan family has relied on jade carvings as its main business from the very beginning. If the jade carving market is booming in the past four to fifty years, the Yuan family can be regarded as one of the best signs in China..."
But in the past ten years, the road of jade carving market has become narrower and narrower.
Batches of mechanical flow-through processing have replaced manual carving, and the quality of goods in the market is uneven, which indirectly affects sales.
Although good artificial jade carvings can still be sold at a high price, the cost and energy are directly proportional, and sometimes I really have to answer——
It is rare to open once in three years.
Because jade carving skills cannot support themselves, the jade carving masters of the Yuan family can go on and on, and change their careers as soon as possible, and few of the new generation can learn this craft quietly.
During the past two years when Lu Zhaoan managed the Yuan family for his master, he clearly felt the space limitations of the jade carving business. It was more like an art in the circle, rather than a popular pursuit.
Yuan's sales in the jade carving industry have been declining year by year, and they can still survive by relying on the sale of rough stones.
Shi Yunnan probably understood Lu Zhaoan's thoughts, "Mr. Lu means to use jade jewelry as a new way?"
"Yes."
The ancestors of the Yuan clan set a rule: do one thing well, jade carving is the foundation of their Yuan clan, and they can't be fooled by others.
Therefore, the Yuan family has never had a large-scale development of the jade jewelry market, and now the market is occupied by other companies.
Because of the heavy nature of jade itself, the design of most jewelry tends to give people an "old-fashioned" feeling, and the market itself has not yet been fully opened.
If the Yuan family wants to attract customers now, in addition to the common jade designs, it must also rely on novel designs.
Shi Yunnan jumped out of this limitation in Lou's design. Although it is not a complete jade design, it has the same effect.
"I want to find a group of designers to cooperate with. Designers can be large-scale designs or high-end auction designs. Yuan's can provide all the rough stones and materials used in the design."
"In addition to the one-time payment of the design fee, the selling price can also be divided according to the contract."
After Lu Zhaoan confirmed that he was going to do this, he immediately found his master Yuan Puguang to discuss it. After thinking about it, the latter decided to delegate the power to him to do it.
"Mr. Shi, I know this proposal is very abrupt, and the appearance design is different from the jade design, but if you have an idea, you are welcome to cooperate with our Yuan family at any time."
Lu Zhao'an looked calm and spoke sincerely.
Shi Yunnan didn't answer in a hurry, but remembered another thing——
Because Yuan Rui is the male second, Yuan's follow-up direction is not bad, and he has indeed made a name for himself in jade design, creating his own signboard and market.
But all this is based on Xie Keyue's proposal.
Xie Keyue proposed and invested in Yuan's jade design field, so when Yuan's made a lot of money in the jade jewelry industry, he naturally made a lot of money.
As for Yuan Rui who was in charge of this matter, he naturally trusted this friend even more.
Now, how did Lu Zhaoan open his mouth?
Seeing that Shi Yunnan did not speak, Lu Zhaoan said, "Mr. Shi?"
"Mr. Lu didn't know that what I was engaged in abroad was jewelry design."
"It is said that diamonds and jade are not separated. If I can apply the design skills I have learned to the local jade design in Huaguo, I..."
Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang again, and the name was displayed——Luo Lingsheng.
When Shi Yunnan saw this name, his concentrated thoughts floated out again.
In the eyes of Lu Zhao'an, he thought it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone, "Mr. Shi, you are free, do you need me to avoid it first?"
"Need not."
Shi Yunnan held his breath, hung up the call and turned off the phone, "Let's continue, I'm very interested in Mr. Lu's cooperation proposal."
...
Luo house.
Luo Lingsheng frowned complicatedly when he saw the sound of the phone being hung up, dialed again and then turned off.
After witnessing all this, Uncle Qin couldn't help approaching and reminded, "Patriarch, don't be too anxious, Mr. Shi may have something to go out and it's not convenient to answer the phone."
Luo Lingsheng didn't answer, and the complexion between his brows and eyes became more obvious.
Yuan Meng was taking his light luggage out, while Qin Jian packed up his work, glanced at the time and stepped forward, "Patriarch, it's time for us to go to the airport."
"Can I change my ticket?" Luo Lingsheng asked.
Before, he said something wrong in a hurry in the training room, causing Shi Yunnan to run out just like that, but now the other party seemed to hold back his anger and refused to answer the phone, he was worried.
"Change?"
Qin Jian glanced at the butler Qin Bo in confusion, and at the latter's silent gesture, immediately picked up the phone to check.
"The earliest one is at noon tomorrow."
As soon as the words were finished, Luo Rong, who was already preparing to set off on the same road, came back from the outside, "Ling Sheng, I just talked to your brother-in-law on the phone, and the team said that they can arrange an inspection tomorrow night."
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for other patients to make an appointment the day after tomorrow."
As an elder, the housekeeper stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice, "Patriarch, you, Miss Luo Rong, and Qin Jian should go there first."
"If Shi Yunnan doesn't come home after five o'clock in the afternoon, I will contact and send someone to look for him. You don't have to worry about the young master, I'm here."
"Your leg injury is a big deal, so try not to delay it if you can."
Luo Lingsheng didn't refute, but just sent two more sentences to Shi Yunnan through WeChat, and replied helplessly in his heart, "Let's go."
……
Before seven o'clock in the evening, Shi Yunnan, who had calmed down, returned to Luo's residence.His documents and luggage are still in the house, and it is impossible to leave home in a huff because of what happened in the training room in the afternoon.
"Uncle!"
The little goldfish who was eating jumped up immediately, holding Shi Yunnan's hand and shaking excitedly, "Little uncle, there is fish egg custard today, shall we share it?"
"Mr. Shi, are you back? Have you eaten yet? The Patriarch has some business to go abroad." The butler stepped forward and said.
"I know, I saw the message he sent me." Shi Yunnan replied quietly.
It's just that he was still stuck in his heart and didn't want to reply.
Since the other party has Bai Yueguang in his heart, he shouldn't post it like this, or else he will bring shame on himself in the end.
"Little uncle, are you hungry?" The little goldfish asked happily, not knowing what happened in the afternoon.
"I'm not hungry, I've eaten outside." Shi Yunnan squatted down to look at him, "I'm a little tired today, I want to go back to my room to rest first, you can eat obediently tonight, okay?"
"Oh."
The little goldfish looked at him and nodded obediently.
It wasn't until Shi Yunnan quickly went upstairs that Xiao Jinyu twitched the corners of his mouth in disappointment, and asked in a low voice to the housekeeper, "Grandpa Qin, is little uncle unhappy?"
Qin Bo also felt that Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan's reactions today were not quite right, but facing the children, he couldn't say anything more, "Probably not, your little uncle is just tired."
"But he didn't pinch my face today, and his words were muffled." Little Goldfish's perception has always been keen, "Even if he doesn't like his favorite fish custard, he must be unhappy."
"Then you eat obediently first, and when he is hungry, we will go to the kitchen to prepare for him, okay?" The butler carried him back to the dining table.
"it is good."
……
After Shi Yunnan returned to the room, he sat blankly at the desk, thinking about the next way to go.
It's a pity that the cutting keeps cutting and the management is still messy.
His rationality told himself that he should keep a proper distance from Luo Lingsheng, and even terminate the agreement directly, so as to stop the loss in time.
But emotionally, he couldn't give up.
In less than four months, he had already regarded the Luo family as a short-lived home, the second home he could really find since his mother passed away.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was eight o'clock in a blink of an eye.
- Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door suddenly.
The unlocked door was gently opened, and the little goldfish peeked in with a small covered bowl.
"Uncle, are you asleep? Can I come in?"
The soft and waxy child's voice makes people reluctant to refuse.
Shi Yunnan subconsciously hooked his lips, "Come in, I'm still not asleep."
The little goldfish, who had already changed into cat pajamas, ran in patter, and held the small bowl in front of Shi Yunnan, "Little uncle, I'll give you all the fish egg soup!"
"Grandpa Qin is already overheated, so he won't freeze his stomach."
Shi Yunnan was so soft by the little goldfish's behavior that he could only suppress his emotions and patted his thigh with a smile, "Come up."
The little goldfish crawled on his lap and sat, "Little uncle, you like fish custard the most, so you won't be sad after eating it."
"Who told you that I was sad?" Shi Yunnan poked his dimple, and the touch was very good.
"I saw it myself." The little goldfish replied.
He raised his head and asked, "little uncle, why are you unhappy? Because uncle is not at home? Grandpa Qin said that he went to see his leg."
"Ok, I know."
Shi Yunnan didn't want to bring up the topic of Luo Lingsheng again.
In order to live up to the child's kindness, he casually took a mouthful of custard into his mouth, but the moment the familiar taste filled his mouth, Shi Yunnan suddenly felt unstoppable sadness.
When he was a child, he thought he could eat fish custard made by his mother for a long time, but he only stayed at the age of seven.
After entering Luo's house, the first bite of fish egg soup he ate was arranged by Luo Lingsheng, and maybe he won't even be able to taste this bite in a short time.
Staring at Shi Yunnan's faintly red eyes, the little goldfish suddenly seemed to realize something, and wrapped his hands and feet around Shi Yunnan's body, "Little uncle."
The little goldfish rubbed Shi Yunnan's head affectionately, and the soft hair scratched the side of his neck itchy.
Shi Yunnan didn't hide, "Huh? Why are you so clinging to me?"
"I like little uncle very much."
Little Goldfish spoke in his ear unexpectedly, his soft voice was full of earnestness, he paused, and did not forget to add one more sentence——
"And uncle, he likes you very much too!"
Shi Yunnan thought about this word, subconsciously let out a wry smile.
Looking at Luo Lingsheng in front of him, he suddenly felt that he might have made a mistake. He thought that the two had developed other feelings based on the 'agreement'.
But now a simple word pulled his reason.
It turned out that in Luo Lingsheng's heart, he was just an outsider who had crossed the line.
"..."
A new round of silence spread.
Luo Lingsheng suddenly didn't dare to look directly into Shi Yunnan's eyes. After living for so many years, for the first time, he was deeply trapped in self-blame, inferiority complex and guilt and couldn't break free.
While breathing hard, his tense heartstrings were almost torn.
Shi Yunnan slowly got up.
Just when Luo Lingsheng thought that Shi Yunnan was going to leave, what turned out to be correct was that he pushed the far wheelchair back in front of him.
Yes.
It may be difficult for Luo Lingsheng to get a seat in the wheelchair by himself.
"I know what you are afraid of, but the inconvenience of your legs has never been your problem. You have already lived a better life than most people."
Shi Yunnan lowered his eyes, quietly looking at Luo Lingsheng on the ground like a trapped beast, he couldn't tell whether he felt more for the other party or himself more.
"Luo Lingsheng, I'm leaving now."
"Get up by yourself."
After saying these words, Shi Yunnan quickly walked out of the training room. When he stepped out of the gate, he happened to bump into Luo Rong who was coming.
The two faced each other, and Luo Rong was a little surprised, "Mr. Shi? Is Lingsheng in there?"
"exist."
Shi Yunnan suppressed the growing astringency in his heart, "But you'd better not bother him right now."
Before Luo Lingsheng got back into his wheelchair, he probably didn't want anyone to see him in a mess.
After Shi Yunnan finished speaking, he quickly passed her by.
Luo Rong stopped on the spot for a while, and her natural intuition as a woman told her——
There seemed to be something wrong with Shi Yunnan's mood.
However, the two are always strangers meeting for the first time, and there are some things that are not easy for her to ask.
Luo Rong waited outside for two or three minutes according to Shi Yunan's wishes, and then walked in.
...
Shi Yunnan suppressed the rising chaos in his mind and walked more than ten meters away, then stopped unwillingly.
He lowered his head and stepped on the small stone under his feet, and muttered as if venting, "Out of line? Did I overstep?"
If I really crossed the line, I would have climbed into your Luo Lingsheng's bed long ago!It's really that the head of the house is used to it, and he can jump out of anything!
But after thinking about it, Shi Yunnan also understood.
Luo Lingsheng just cared too much about his legs, that's why he used harsh words to suppress him in a moment of impatience.
Shi Yunnan caught a glimpse of the couple watch on his wrist from the corner of his eye, and his mood fluctuated again, but after a moment of hesitation, he immediately turned back and walked towards the training room.
It's been like this anyway.
Some thoughts, he can't vomit.
The worst result is that Luo Lingsheng can't accept it, and the two of them get together and part ways.
Shi Yunnan returned to the independent training room, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard a faint conversation. He subconsciously slowed down his footsteps, and even suppressed the urge to enter the door to confess.
Shi Yunnan stood at the blind corner of the corner, and he could vaguely see the situation inside through the frosted glass obliquely——
One person in the room is Luo Rong who is standing, and the other person is Luo Lingsheng who has already sat back in a wheelchair.
Shi Yunnan knew that eavesdropping on other people's speech was not a moral thing, so he was about to enter the room out loud, but Luo Rong's question suddenly made him freeze in place.
"Why did you get married suddenly? Or with Mr. Shi?"
At this second, even though he knew it was impolite to 'overhear', Shi Yunnan still stood at the corner and did not move.
Luo Lingsheng in the room was silent and did not speak, but Luo Rong continued the topic, "I remember you had someone you really liked before? Didn't you plan to chase someone before the Luo family did something serious?"
"..."
For a moment, the light in Shi Yunnan's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly recalled the conversations of the servants that he overheard by chance before entering Luo's.
——Is there someone in the owner's heart?Who, how do you know?
——I also listened to other people's guesses. The head of the family had a very favorite object before, but before he could pursue him, he had an accident and injured his leg.
Shi Yunnan always thought that these gossips were just a joke made up by the servants, but now that even Luo Rong said similar things, he knew that everything was true.
Luo Lingsheng had Bai Yueguang in his heart, and he was just an outsider who 'married by agreement' and could not cross the line.
Shi Yunnan's hands hanging on both sides were unconsciously clenched into fists, and the courage that had finally surged out under impulse was completely broken.
He was afraid that staying here would only hear more things he didn't want to hear, so he turned around slightly stiffly, and walked away as if escaping.
The conversation in the house continued.
It was rare for Luo Rong to see Luo Lingsheng distracted, and she asked in surprise, "Lingsheng? What are you thinking? I finally came to see you, but you are out of my mind here?"
"I just saw that Mr. Shi ran out in the wrong state. Did you two quarrel?"
Luo Lingsheng's older sister was about the same age as Luo Rong, and although the elders fought openly and secretly, the two cousins had a good relationship since they were young, even Luo Lingsheng and Luo Rong had a good relationship.
At that time, before the Luo family had any major incidents, the three siblings gathered together to drink and chat. It was only after his own sister and cousin coaxed and questioned him that Luo Lingsheng reluctantly said, "I have someone I like in my heart."
But the good times didn't last long, Mr. Luo died of a heart attack not long after, and after that, the whole family continued to fight openly and secretly.
Luo Lingsheng went through a lot of hardships to become the head of the family. So many people in the imperial capital tried to catch his eye one after another, but the results were all there——
None of them will succeed.
Some people approached with unreasonable thoughts, and the end was even more miserable.
Everyone said that Luo Lingsheng definitely didn't plan to find a partner.
When these things got to Luo Rong's ears, she took it for granted that her cousin still had that secret crush in her heart, but because of the inconvenience of her legs, she kept suppressing her and refused to act.
But she did not expect that news of Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan's marriage certificate would suddenly come out this year.
No, after finally catching up with Kong to return to China, she naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Luo Lingsheng's eyes revealed complex and remorse, and he asked, "Did you meet him just now?"
"Yes, I feel that he is not in a good mood." Luo Rong told the truth, her curiosity grew stronger, "Tell me quickly, what's going on with you two?"
She really didn't expect that Luo Lingsheng's character could actually have a flash marriage with someone else.
"As you can see, I am serious about marrying him."
Luo Lingsheng's answer was very brief.
He is not a person who likes to reveal his private life to the outside world.
Luo Rong asked again, "...Then the person in your heart has been let go now?"
"There was never anyone else."
A simple answer completely shocked Luo Rong in place.
She let out an unbelievable short laugh, obviously not expecting that with her cousin, the person in front of her is the person she loves.
Luo Lingsheng didn't care about her reaction, he just asked, "Don't presume this in front of Yun Nan, I don't want to burden him."
The two of them are in the form of 'marriage by agreement', if one day Shi Yunnan gets tired of this kind of life, he can let the other party go at any time.
Since the accident, he struggled to heal his leg, but every time he was hopeless and then lost.
If he was doomed to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he shouldn't have forced Shi Yunnan to do any 'out of bounds' behavior.
He doesn't care anymore in this life, but he can't harm Shi Yunnan.
Luo Rong was measured, "Don't worry, I'm going to fly abroad this afternoon, and I don't know when I'll return to China next time. I won't meddle in the affairs of your husband and wife."
She looked at Luo Lingsheng's legs, and mentioned the important business of coming here this time, "By the way, I have something important to tell you."
"what?"
"I entrusted your cousin-in-law to contact you with the most authoritative neurology team in the world, Bence's team, which happened to be from the same source as the Dr. Miche team you received treatment before."
Luo Rong married a foreigner who was the director of a foreign private hospital and had many medical connections.
In the past two years regarding Luo Lingsheng, the husband and wife have bothered a lot.
"They came into contact with a patient half a year ago. The situation was similar to yours. After half a year of rest and rehabilitation after the operation, although they haven't reached the level of normal people, at least they don't need to rely on a wheelchair to live all day."
"The teams of both parties that your brother-in-law directly contacted gave a general overview of your situation. The two parties discussed and studied for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that 'you can try', but there is no guarantee."
"The most difficult point is that the success rate of the operation is very low, and if this treatment fails, your sciatic nerve may not be able to withstand excessive rehabilitation and treatment..."
In other words, the chance of a successful operation is much lower than the risk of a failed operation.
Luo Lingsheng was silent for a long time after hearing these words.
Luo Rong knew that this matter was difficult to handle, so she had to give a suggestion first, "Your brother-in-law means that if you are willing, you'd better undergo another comprehensive inspection and let the teams of both parties re-evaluate based on your current situation. "
Everyone is an independent individual, and the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail.
As for the matter of money, what the Luo family lacks most is money, as long as there is hope for a cure, then everything is easy to negotiate.
"When can I make an appointment for an inspection?" Luo Lingsheng asked determinedly, Shi Yunnan's eyes only appeared in his mind.
"I think the sooner the better."
"If you are in a hurry, go abroad with me this afternoon? I guessed that you would not give up. I talked to your brother-in-law on the phone yesterday. If you are sure, you should be able to make an appointment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Luo Lingsheng replied, "Okay."
……
The wind from both sides of the car window rushed in crazily, whistling in Shi Yunnan's ears, but even so, it couldn't extinguish the indescribable anxiety in his heart.
He felt that his actions over the past three months were absurd and ridiculous.
Because of one night's dream, she exchanged a paper agreement, and then tied herself up because of it, and fell in love with someone she shouldn't like.
In the end, it wasn't even his turn to confess to Luo Lingsheng, so he realized that he was just an extra person.
When he thought that he was messing around with Luo Lingsheng on the basis of the so-called 'agreement', and even called him 'husband' twice or three times, he felt ashamed as never before.
Shi Yunnan suppressed the choked sobs that welled up in his throat, and simply parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road.
He took out his phone and looked through it.
Wen Yibei just experienced a quarrel at the banquet yesterday, Shi Yunnan didn't want to continue to bring his negative emotions to the other party.
Shi Yunnan thought for a while, and immediately called his friend.
The phone beeped for a while before being connected by Fu Ziyu, "Hello, son, what are you doing?"
"Are you at the nightclub?" Shi Yunnan asked.
Fu Ziyu was stunned for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, who's nightclub is doing business during the day? There will be activities in the nightclub this week, and I'm so busy that I don't go to bed until four or five in the morning. I'm almost tired gone."
Fu Ziyu's voice on the phone was indeed full of exhaustion. He seemed to be half asleep and asked, "What's the matter? I'll get up and look for you now?"
"Forget it, it's nothing important."
Shi Yunnan refused, trying to pretend to be relaxed, "I just feel like I haven't sat down with you for a long time and had a good drink. The last time I was in a nightclub before it even started, something like Yuan Rui happened temporarily."
"Ham, isn't that easy? You come here tonight, and I'll have a drink with you."
Through the phone, Fu Ziyu, who was awakened in his sleep, did not notice anything unusual about his friend.
He slowed down for a while, and joked leisurely, "However, you should talk to Luo Lingsheng first, lest he..."
Hearing this name, Shi Yunnan frowned and interrupted, "Stop talking, go to sleep."
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry as if escaping, and he felt even worse in his heart.
Shi Yunnan looked at the few names recorded in the contact book, and felt a void in his heart.
He hasn't returned to China many times in these years. Without the "agreement relationship" with Luo Lingsheng, he would have nowhere to go abroad at all. Just like now, he can't find a place to hide temporarily.
Just as I was thinking, an unfamiliar phone number called.
Shi Yunnan hesitated for a while, then connected the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, is this Mr. Shi?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was familiar, Shi Yunnan thought for a while, and the owner of the voice automatically appeared in his mind.
"Lu Zhaoan?"
"It's me, I'm taking the liberty to contact you like this. Last time you left a phone number when you bought jade carvings at Yuan's, I asked the clerk for them privately." Lu Zhaoan calmly explained the reason.
Shi Yunnan had a good impression of this character, "Well, what's the matter with Mr. Lu?"
Lu Zhaoan got straight to the point, "Is it convenient for Mr. Shi to meet these two days? I have a cooperation in jade design and I want to talk to you."
Shi Yunnan was surprised when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Lu Zhaoan to mention this matter.
He looked at the speeding vehicles on the road, and thought of his current situation of doing nothing, and was thinking of finding something to divert his attention.
"It's fine now, where can we meet?"
Lu Zhao'an didn't expect Shi Yunnan to agree so readily, he was slightly taken aback and replied, "Mr. Shi will decide the location, since I have something to ask, then I'll go find you."
"it is good."
……
Half an hour later, Shi Yunnan sank on the soft sofa, quietly listening to the melodious tune from the store.
After talking on the phone with Lu Zhao'an, he found a nearby Qingba with good online reviews.
There was a welcome sound at the door.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyes and saw Lu Zhao'an's figure. The other party obviously saw him immediately and walked over.
"Mr. Shi, hello."
"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" Shi Yunnan sat upright.
Lu Zhaoan caught a glimpse of the drink in front of him, and replied calmly, "Same as you, lemon black tea, I'm driving."
After hearing this, the waiter at the side immediately went down to prepare.
Shi Yunnan took a sip of black tea, "Mr. Lu, how did you know that I can design?"
Lu Zhao'an said, "It's easy to say, the jade beads on the shell of Lou's new product are provided by our Yuan."
When Shi Yunnan heard this coincidence, he couldn't help but sighed softly.
As the current core person in charge of Yuan's, Lu Zhao'an naturally knew the popularity of Lou's new product designs in the market, and this series of designs was his favorite national style, so he took the initiative to ask Lou's about the design of this series of products division.
Then, I accidentally got the name of 'Shi Yunnan'.
Not only that, but he also learned one thing from Mrs. Lou's supplement: Shi Yunnan seems to have a lot of research on jewelry, and he should have been engaged in related design before.
After coming and going, Lu Zhao'an became more and more determined to contact Shi Yunnan.
While talking, the waiter brought the drink up.
After waiting for the other party to leave, Shi Yunnan asked, "What does the jade design that Mr. Lu just mentioned on the phone mean?"
Lu Zhao'an sincerely needed cooperation, and answered Shi Yunnan's questions earnestly.
"To be honest, the Yuan family has relied on jade carvings as its main business from the very beginning. If the jade carving market is booming in the past four to fifty years, the Yuan family can be regarded as one of the best signs in China..."
But in the past ten years, the road of jade carving market has become narrower and narrower.
Batches of mechanical flow-through processing have replaced manual carving, and the quality of goods in the market is uneven, which indirectly affects sales.
Although good artificial jade carvings can still be sold at a high price, the cost and energy are directly proportional, and sometimes I really have to answer——
It is rare to open once in three years.
Because jade carving skills cannot support themselves, the jade carving masters of the Yuan family can go on and on, and change their careers as soon as possible, and few of the new generation can learn this craft quietly.
During the past two years when Lu Zhaoan managed the Yuan family for his master, he clearly felt the space limitations of the jade carving business. It was more like an art in the circle, rather than a popular pursuit.
Yuan's sales in the jade carving industry have been declining year by year, and they can still survive by relying on the sale of rough stones.
Shi Yunnan probably understood Lu Zhaoan's thoughts, "Mr. Lu means to use jade jewelry as a new way?"
"Yes."
The ancestors of the Yuan clan set a rule: do one thing well, jade carving is the foundation of their Yuan clan, and they can't be fooled by others.
Therefore, the Yuan family has never had a large-scale development of the jade jewelry market, and now the market is occupied by other companies.
Because of the heavy nature of jade itself, the design of most jewelry tends to give people an "old-fashioned" feeling, and the market itself has not yet been fully opened.
If the Yuan family wants to attract customers now, in addition to the common jade designs, it must also rely on novel designs.
Shi Yunnan jumped out of this limitation in Lou's design. Although it is not a complete jade design, it has the same effect.
"I want to find a group of designers to cooperate with. Designers can be large-scale designs or high-end auction designs. Yuan's can provide all the rough stones and materials used in the design."
"In addition to the one-time payment of the design fee, the selling price can also be divided according to the contract."
After Lu Zhaoan confirmed that he was going to do this, he immediately found his master Yuan Puguang to discuss it. After thinking about it, the latter decided to delegate the power to him to do it.
"Mr. Shi, I know this proposal is very abrupt, and the appearance design is different from the jade design, but if you have an idea, you are welcome to cooperate with our Yuan family at any time."
Lu Zhao'an looked calm and spoke sincerely.
Shi Yunnan didn't answer in a hurry, but remembered another thing——
Because Yuan Rui is the male second, Yuan's follow-up direction is not bad, and he has indeed made a name for himself in jade design, creating his own signboard and market.
But all this is based on Xie Keyue's proposal.
Xie Keyue proposed and invested in Yuan's jade design field, so when Yuan's made a lot of money in the jade jewelry industry, he naturally made a lot of money.
As for Yuan Rui who was in charge of this matter, he naturally trusted this friend even more.
Now, how did Lu Zhaoan open his mouth?
Seeing that Shi Yunnan did not speak, Lu Zhaoan said, "Mr. Shi?"
"Mr. Lu didn't know that what I was engaged in abroad was jewelry design."
"It is said that diamonds and jade are not separated. If I can apply the design skills I have learned to the local jade design in Huaguo, I..."
Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang again, and the name was displayed——Luo Lingsheng.
When Shi Yunnan saw this name, his concentrated thoughts floated out again.
In the eyes of Lu Zhao'an, he thought it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone, "Mr. Shi, you are free, do you need me to avoid it first?"
"Need not."
Shi Yunnan held his breath, hung up the call and turned off the phone, "Let's continue, I'm very interested in Mr. Lu's cooperation proposal."
...
Luo house.
Luo Lingsheng frowned complicatedly when he saw the sound of the phone being hung up, dialed again and then turned off.
After witnessing all this, Uncle Qin couldn't help approaching and reminded, "Patriarch, don't be too anxious, Mr. Shi may have something to go out and it's not convenient to answer the phone."
Luo Lingsheng didn't answer, and the complexion between his brows and eyes became more obvious.
Yuan Meng was taking his light luggage out, while Qin Jian packed up his work, glanced at the time and stepped forward, "Patriarch, it's time for us to go to the airport."
"Can I change my ticket?" Luo Lingsheng asked.
Before, he said something wrong in a hurry in the training room, causing Shi Yunnan to run out just like that, but now the other party seemed to hold back his anger and refused to answer the phone, he was worried.
"Change?"
Qin Jian glanced at the butler Qin Bo in confusion, and at the latter's silent gesture, immediately picked up the phone to check.
"The earliest one is at noon tomorrow."
As soon as the words were finished, Luo Rong, who was already preparing to set off on the same road, came back from the outside, "Ling Sheng, I just talked to your brother-in-law on the phone, and the team said that they can arrange an inspection tomorrow night."
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for other patients to make an appointment the day after tomorrow."
As an elder, the housekeeper stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice, "Patriarch, you, Miss Luo Rong, and Qin Jian should go there first."
"If Shi Yunnan doesn't come home after five o'clock in the afternoon, I will contact and send someone to look for him. You don't have to worry about the young master, I'm here."
"Your leg injury is a big deal, so try not to delay it if you can."
Luo Lingsheng didn't refute, but just sent two more sentences to Shi Yunnan through WeChat, and replied helplessly in his heart, "Let's go."
……
Before seven o'clock in the evening, Shi Yunnan, who had calmed down, returned to Luo's residence.His documents and luggage are still in the house, and it is impossible to leave home in a huff because of what happened in the training room in the afternoon.
"Uncle!"
The little goldfish who was eating jumped up immediately, holding Shi Yunnan's hand and shaking excitedly, "Little uncle, there is fish egg custard today, shall we share it?"
"Mr. Shi, are you back? Have you eaten yet? The Patriarch has some business to go abroad." The butler stepped forward and said.
"I know, I saw the message he sent me." Shi Yunnan replied quietly.
It's just that he was still stuck in his heart and didn't want to reply.
Since the other party has Bai Yueguang in his heart, he shouldn't post it like this, or else he will bring shame on himself in the end.
"Little uncle, are you hungry?" The little goldfish asked happily, not knowing what happened in the afternoon.
"I'm not hungry, I've eaten outside." Shi Yunnan squatted down to look at him, "I'm a little tired today, I want to go back to my room to rest first, you can eat obediently tonight, okay?"
"Oh."
The little goldfish looked at him and nodded obediently.
It wasn't until Shi Yunnan quickly went upstairs that Xiao Jinyu twitched the corners of his mouth in disappointment, and asked in a low voice to the housekeeper, "Grandpa Qin, is little uncle unhappy?"
Qin Bo also felt that Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan's reactions today were not quite right, but facing the children, he couldn't say anything more, "Probably not, your little uncle is just tired."
"But he didn't pinch my face today, and his words were muffled." Little Goldfish's perception has always been keen, "Even if he doesn't like his favorite fish custard, he must be unhappy."
"Then you eat obediently first, and when he is hungry, we will go to the kitchen to prepare for him, okay?" The butler carried him back to the dining table.
"it is good."
……
After Shi Yunnan returned to the room, he sat blankly at the desk, thinking about the next way to go.
It's a pity that the cutting keeps cutting and the management is still messy.
His rationality told himself that he should keep a proper distance from Luo Lingsheng, and even terminate the agreement directly, so as to stop the loss in time.
But emotionally, he couldn't give up.
In less than four months, he had already regarded the Luo family as a short-lived home, the second home he could really find since his mother passed away.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was eight o'clock in a blink of an eye.
- Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door suddenly.
The unlocked door was gently opened, and the little goldfish peeked in with a small covered bowl.
"Uncle, are you asleep? Can I come in?"
The soft and waxy child's voice makes people reluctant to refuse.
Shi Yunnan subconsciously hooked his lips, "Come in, I'm still not asleep."
The little goldfish, who had already changed into cat pajamas, ran in patter, and held the small bowl in front of Shi Yunnan, "Little uncle, I'll give you all the fish egg soup!"
"Grandpa Qin is already overheated, so he won't freeze his stomach."
Shi Yunnan was so soft by the little goldfish's behavior that he could only suppress his emotions and patted his thigh with a smile, "Come up."
The little goldfish crawled on his lap and sat, "Little uncle, you like fish custard the most, so you won't be sad after eating it."
"Who told you that I was sad?" Shi Yunnan poked his dimple, and the touch was very good.
"I saw it myself." The little goldfish replied.
He raised his head and asked, "little uncle, why are you unhappy? Because uncle is not at home? Grandpa Qin said that he went to see his leg."
"Ok, I know."
Shi Yunnan didn't want to bring up the topic of Luo Lingsheng again.
In order to live up to the child's kindness, he casually took a mouthful of custard into his mouth, but the moment the familiar taste filled his mouth, Shi Yunnan suddenly felt unstoppable sadness.
When he was a child, he thought he could eat fish custard made by his mother for a long time, but he only stayed at the age of seven.
After entering Luo's house, the first bite of fish egg soup he ate was arranged by Luo Lingsheng, and maybe he won't even be able to taste this bite in a short time.
Staring at Shi Yunnan's faintly red eyes, the little goldfish suddenly seemed to realize something, and wrapped his hands and feet around Shi Yunnan's body, "Little uncle."
The little goldfish rubbed Shi Yunnan's head affectionately, and the soft hair scratched the side of his neck itchy.
Shi Yunnan didn't hide, "Huh? Why are you so clinging to me?"
"I like little uncle very much."
Little Goldfish spoke in his ear unexpectedly, his soft voice was full of earnestness, he paused, and did not forget to add one more sentence——
"And uncle, he likes you very much too!"
