Luo family?

Led by someone who was in a wheelchair?

Shi Sheng realized something instantly, and looked at old man Shi in shock, “Luo Lingsheng is the one who’s coming?”

“Apart from him, who else in the Luo family needs a wheelchair to travel?” Old man Shi’s anger solidified on his face, and a rare panic emerged in his eagle-like sharp eyes.

Without rhyme or reason, how did they attract this big Buddha?

He tapped the tabletop like a warning, “Get up quickly and follow me to the door to meet him.”

Shi Yunnan was a little far away, and unable to hear their conversation. He walked towards the door on his own.

Who cared what kind of person was coming?

He was now disgusted with the word ‘Luo’, so he would took advantage of this chaotic situation to slip out.

Shi Yunnan left the house with this idea, but when he pushed the door open, he bumped into a group of people, and they happened to block his way tightly.

“……”

Shi Yunan suddenly braked in place, his eyes fell down——

Only thirty centimeters away from him, a man was sitting in a wheelchair staring at him languidly.

The other party was at most in his early thirties. The pure black suit set off his cold and outstanding temperament. From the gold frame glasses, to the wristwatch, to his outfit, everything was luxurious.

His appearance was exceptionally good-looking, the tall and straight figure hidden under his clothes was even more apparent. Even sitting in a wheelchair didn’t diminish his aura. With the backdrop of the four subordinates behind him, it gave people an aura of a ‘not furious but majestic’ commander.

Shi Yunnan saw this, and suddenly couldn’t move forward.

In fact, he liked men. He had lived abroad for so many years, although he hadn’t been in a serious relationship, he had seen quite a few men.

To tell the truth, the look and figure of this person in front of him could really be called a “celestial dish1“, and even those long legs that rely on a wheelchair were dancing wildly in Shi Yunnan’s aesthetic point.

Tsk.

If he hadn’t braked just now, he might have fallen into his arms.

Shi Yunnan drilled out an irrelevant thought, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated.

It was true that looking at handsome guys could make people feel better.

The man looked at Shi Yunnan expressionlessly. He put one hand on the wheelchair frame and gently stroked it with his refined fingers.

In the next second, the well-mannered assistant next to him suddenly coughed, “…Is this young master Shi?”

The reminder was too obvious.

Shi Yunnan withdrew his gradually scorching gaze, and before he could respond, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Old man Shi walked up with the whole family and bent over on his own initiative, “Mr. Luo, I didn’t expect you to come here so suddenly, apologize for not coming out to receive you.”

What was the background of this person?

How could he make the old man lower his posture to greet him?

Shi Yunnan’s expression changed slightly, and his inquiring eyes fell back to the man again, “Who are you?”

“Yunnan, this is Luo Lingsheng, Mr. Luo.” Shi Sheng eagerly stopped him, for fear that Shi Yunnan would inadvertently offend the person in front of him, “Don’t be rude!”

No one in the entire imperial capital did not know about Luo Lingsheng, who was the youngest patriarch in the history of the Luo Clan.

Three years ago, he successfully rose to the top in a cruel power struggle of the Luo clan. With his vigorous and resolute methods, he overturned the entire Luo clan and the imperial capital influential clans upside down.

He had the capital behind him and his means were ruthless, making countless enterprise groups afraid. The chain of freight companies like the Shi family was not worth mentioning in front of the other party.

Shi Yunnan was interrupted by someone and he pulled the corner of his mouth in a dull manner.

After staying abroad for a long time, he had no idea of the storm brewing in these rich families, let alone how frightening Luo Lingsheng was.

He only knew that the time and place for the two of them to meet was wrong, otherwise he would have squatted and said hi.

Old man Shi stepped forward, “Mr. Luo brought people here so early in the morning. I don’t know what we can help you with?”

“There is an important matter.” Luo Lingsheng said, and his voice was as heavy as a drum, easily hitting people’s hearts.

Xie Keyue stood at the back to observe the situation, there was a glimmer of light at the bottom of his eyes, “Grandpa, please invite Mr. Luo into the hall first. I’ll make you a cup of tea. You can sit down and talk slowly.”

That was such a remarkable speech.

Not only did he think of the distinguished guest in front of him, but also reminded old man Shi and others of their ‘poor hospitality’, and he did not forget to show his presence.

Shi Sheng nodded hurriedly, “Xiao Yue is right, Luo…”

“No need to be polite, I don’t have the leisure time to drink tea.” Luo Lingsheng refused, not even giving Xie Keyue an extra look.

Xie Keyue was completely ignored for the first time, and stuck in place with some embarrassment.

Shi Yunnan saw this scene, and changed to a leisure posture of leaning against the door. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave.　　

Just in time, Luo Lingsheng met his playful melon-eating gaze, and threw out his voice, “I heard that young master Shi has returned to China, so I personally came to the door today to propose marriage on behalf of the Luo family.”

“……”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Shi family changed their expressions——

One must know that the Luo family had a deep and huge foundation, there were countless interests and disputes that were secretly involved. Originally, only the Luo family’s side branch was to be married to the Shi family. According to normal logic, this shouldn’t have disturbed Luo Lingsheng, the head of the family.

But at this moment, Luo Lingsheng had personally come to propose marriage? 

What the hell was going on?

If this matter spread out, he didn’t know how many people would look at their Shi family with red eyes2! How much more would they be criticized and targeted!

Old man Shi was a shrewd egoist. He hoped to establish a little relationship with the Luo family side branch to survive the company crisis. On the other hand, he didn’t want to be involved in the center of the vortex led by Luo Lingsheng……

He was a little cautious in his heart and tried to delay time. “Mr. Luo, Yunnan has just returned home. This matter has to be reconsidered by him.”

“Consider? Who said I would consider it?”

Shi Yunnan quickly retorted while smiling meaningfully.

He thoroughly understood that the entire Shi family might not be able to match Luo Lingsheng’s power.

The other party came to their door unannounced. The bewildered old man Shi was afraid of drawing fire upon himself, so he changed his previous forced marriage attitude.

But Shi Yunnan was not a tool man who allowed himself to be pushed around. Since the singing method of this play had been changed, he, as the protagonist, should naturally perform well.

“Since Mr. Luo came to propose marriage on behalf of the Luo family, let me ask one more question, are you proposing marriage for that young master Luo?”

Shi Yunnan’s gaze was fixed on Luo Lingsheng’s face, he leaned over and approached him with a smile, “Or are you proposing marriage for yourself?”

“If Mr. Luo’s answer is different, the result of my consideration is also different.”

In the second half of the sentence, Shi Yunnan’s rising tail sound seemed to have a small hook. When falling into the ears of others, it became a completely naked flirtation.

“……”

The audience was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

The Shi family panicked, and even the subordinates who accompanied Luo Lingsheng were shocked.

F*ck, this second young master Shi was too wild!

He actually dared to ask the patriarch whether to propose marriage for himself? Did he think his life was too long? Or was it just a bold and brainless joke?

Everyone was ready for Luo Lingsheng to get angry, unexpectedly he only asked calmly, “What is the difference between the answers of the two?”

“If you are proposing marriage for that young master Luo, then I’m sorry, scram as far as you can.”

These last six characters were another invisible bomb.

How dared he tell Luo Lingsheng to ‘scram’?

Was this a deliberate attempt to bury the entire Shi family with him?

Old man Shi was so agitated by this conversation that he was about to have a heart attack, “Shi Yunnan! What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Luo!”

When Shi Yunnan heard the old man’s panic reprimand, he successfully hooked his lips, and a long-lost pleasure surged in his heart.

It seemed that power was indeed a good thing. When your head was high, you could press other people to bow their heads in panic and fear.

Didn’t they force him to marry the Luo family? Didn’t they insist on making him obedient?

Although he could not be one hundred percent sure about the true or false of the dream, he still remembered that if he escaped from the Luo family marriage this time, it would only become a turning point in his unfortunate life.

Okay, then he would change the method of playing.

Luo Lingsheng caught the mockery in his smile. The sharp eyes hidden under the lenses seemed to have insight into everything, “What if I propose marriage for myself?”

Instead of getting angry in public, Luo Lingsheng continued to follow Shi Yunnan’s topic?

Standing at the back, Xie Keyue saw that the development was completely out of his expectations, and his expression finally changed.

The Luo family’s young master was just a playboy, but Luo Lingsheng was the head of a powerful family, and the chain of interests behind this was very different.

Shi Yunnan and young master Luo were forced to sacrifice their own happiness when they got married.

But if he were to get involved with Luo Lingsheng, it was equivalent to reaching the sky in one step, and even his status in the Shi family would rise with the tide.

Seeing the look of her son, Xie Wei clearly understood the stakes, “Yunnan, Aunt Xie knows that you like to play around everyday when you live abroad. You haven’t had enough fun at this age and you don’t want to get married, but how can you fool around in front of Mr. Luo with your young master temper? Be obedient, you can’t lose your sense of propriety.”

These words sounded like a painstaking persuasion at first, but in fact, it was dripping with sarcastic connotation, she could not wait for Luo Lingsheng to see his ‘true color’ clearly, and loathed him to the bottom.

It made him laugh to death, sure enough, when people were in a hurry, their speech would become crude.

Shi Yunnan straightened up and struck back, “What is my relationship with you, is it your turn to teach me a lesson?”

“You……”

Xie Wei also tried to retort, but was caught off guard by Luo Lingsheng’s sight.

The man took off his glasses slowly, showing a colder gaze under the lenses, “I didn’t think he was fooling around.”

In one sentence, he completely ended the Shi family’s possible obstruction.

Luo Lingsheng resolved the chattering noise, and then raised his eyes to look at Shi Yunnan, and repeated himself for the first time, “Second young master Shi, you haven’t answered me yet. If I personally propose a marriage, am I worthy of you?”

When their eyes met, Shi Yunnan suddenly felt a strange and subtle connection.

No matter what purpose Luo Lingsheng was playing along with him for, he was doing him a great favor by blocking the mouth of Shi family and allowing him to leave this ‘cannibalistic’ home in a well-reasoned manner.

“Of course you are worthy.”

Shi Yunnan’s eyes were shining like a little fox who had gotten his way.

The stage had been set up, it would be a great pity if he didn’t continue to perform.

He squatted down for Luo Lingsheng again, with familiarity and intimacy in his tone and demeanor, “Has the wedding banquet time been set? Husband ~”

Would you die If you didn’t say some shocking words?

The whole audience was shocked by Shi Yunnan’s address, and Luo Lingsheng’s subordinates almost thought they were dreaming——

Wedding banquet? Husband?

This second young master Shi was really daring! How dare he shout that out!

Why did the Patriarch uncharacteristically not losing his temper today? Normally, those with dirty thoughts would have been finished long ago.

Old man Shi also showed an indescribable complex expression. The grandson,  who was least valued by him, actually got into a relationship with the head of the Luo family just like that? This is too ridiculous!

Luo Lingsheng did not speak, and no one dared to seize this chance.

The deathly silence was still spreading.

Shi Yunnan blinked his eyes and urged him with a smile, “En?”

Luo Lingsheng stared at the smiling face of the person in front of him, rubbed his fingertips subtly for a moment, and gave a definite answer——

“How about tonight?”

The author has something to say:

#The exasperated little fox Nan who was immersed in acting: Hey! husband!

#A certain patriarch who looked as steady as an old dog3 on the outside, but his heart was so happy that he began to shake his legs (No, I’m just talking nonsense)

Used to emphasize that someone’s appearance or personality is your type. 

Jealousy

A slur referring to elderly people.
