“A little bit.”

Shi Yunnan narrowed his eyes.

The day before the departure, he and Luo Lingsheng tossed and turned until the early morning before going to bed. When they woke up, they went to visit old man Wen, so some of their depleted physical strength never recovered.

In addition, Shi Yunnan had always been unaccustomed to long-distance flight times, so he was inevitably fatigued at this moment.

Luo Lingsheng saw his tiredness and said, “Go home and rest first. I’ll be admitted to the medical center the day after tomorrow.”

He has three or four private residences in the United States, one of which is close to the medical center, which is convenient for Shi Yunnan and Little Goldfish to travel between home and the hospital in the future.

Qin Jian contacted the driver, and the group quickly got into the car.

Little Goldfish was, after all, just a child. He jumped around before getting into the car, and by the time he got home, he was already asleep in Luo Lingsheng’s arms.

Seeing this, Yuan Meng took the initiative to say, “Patriarch, I will take the little young master back to the room to rest.”

“En.”

Butler Qin was getting old, so Luo Lingsheng didn’t want him to follow him back and forth. Apart from Qin Jian and Yuan Meng, who had followed him all year round, he arranged for six professional bodyguards to protect them secretly.

Shi Yunnan followed Luo Lingsheng to look around the house layout, “When did you buy this house? It’s well decorated.”

“It’s been a few years, and some time ago, I found someone to renovate it.”

As cheesy as it may sound, this house was actually one of the coming-of-age gifts given by the Luo couple to Luo Lingsheng when they were alive.

After his parents passed away unexpectedly, Luo Lingsheng was reluctant to resell the house. Even if it was empty all year round, he would hire someone to regularly clean it up.

“Uncle Qin didn’t come with us this time, and I’ll be in the medical center for a long time. If you have anything you want to eat, just ask the servants.”

“Understood, I’m not a child. How can I let myself go hungry?”

Shi Yunnan was led into the bedroom by Luo Lingsheng, and was greeted by a floor-to-ceiling window. The light was particularly good, with afternoon sunlight filtered in.

Their villa was in the first row of this area, facing the wide lawn and a lake with an extraordinarily open view.

Shi Yunnan curled his lips happily and said, “When we were just driving over, I felt that the nearby buildings were a little familiar.”

“Hm?”

“When we were in college, Fu Ziyu and I participated in a billiards hobby camp during our spare time. It seems like it’s nearby?”

Shi Yunnan simply took out his mobile phone to check the location, “I remember that there should be a coffee shop in this area, with a courtyard style design on the third floor.”

Shi Yunnan doesn’t like coffee but is particularly interested in desserts.

For a long time, he and Fu Ziyu would go to the store to sit for a long time after the billiards camp every Sunday. Later, when he began to develop his career in the design industry, he liked to sit there when he had no inspiration.

Luo Lingsheng stared at his back, a shimmer of light wavered under his eyes, “Elle?”

“Yes.”

When Shi Yunnan heard Luo Lingsheng announce the name of the shop, he turned around in surprise, “You know that shop too?”

In order to commemorate his wife, who died in an accident, the owner of the store named it after her, and the desserts the owner would make are all his wife’s favorites.

Luo Lingsheng replied casually, “I lived here for a while, and I heard it from my neighbors.”

Shi Yunnan put down the phone and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows,””Then some other time, let’s go look for it together? That boss makes really good desserts.”

Luo Lingsheng looked at Shi Yunnan’s smile and said, “Okay.”

Shi Yunnan took the initiative to sit next to him. His heart moved, “Luo Lingsheng.”

“What’s wrong?”

Shi Yunnan caressed the tip of Luo Linghsheng’s nose with his own. The warm breath was mixed with more and more intense love, “I want you to kiss me.”

He suddenly discovered that he was willing to share with Luo Lingsheng even the trivial things that happened a few years ago, and wanted to try it one by one with Luo Lingsheng.

His feelings go beyond the initial superficial liking—he has fallen in love with Luo Lingsheng.

Luo Lingsheng saw the love in Shi Yunnan’s eyes, and his breathing tightened.

Thousands of words piled up in his heart, and finally turned into a deep kiss.

Luo Lingsheng’s hand stroked Shi Yunnan’s cheek and lightly rubbed his chin with his fingers. His teeth were easily pried open, spilling out a sweet whimper.

The sound of an ambiguous and passionate wet kiss echoed in their ears.

Suddenly, Qin Jian’s voice came from the corridor outside the house, “Little Young Master, why did you wake up and run here alone?”

“….”

Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan simultaneously withdrew.

The two stared at each other for a second or two, and then both looked out of the room—

They had no idea they had forgotten to close the door when they entered the room. At this moment, the door was wide open.

A small figure stood at the door, now red-faced. While covering his eyes, he acted like a thief who stole the bell1This expression 掩耳盗铃 comes from a story about a person who decided to steal a bell. However, the bell was too heavy to carry, and the thief decided to break it into pieces. He was afraid the sound would attract attention, so the thief blocked his ears and continued to smash the bell believing that as long as he could not hear the bell’s sound, no one else could either., “Uncle, little uncle, I didn’t see anything ah~“

The rising tone of this “ah” is too obvious and especially spirited.

Shi Yunnan: “……”

Luo Lingsheng: “……“

The two men looked at each other for a while, and in a rare moment, they both felt their “old faces” as elders were lost.

Wasn’t this child asleep?

How come, in the blink of an eye, he ran to this place again? What was Yuan Meng doing?

Little Goldfish didn’t know what the two adults were thinking, and ran in, ” Little Uncle, are you hungry?”

He patted his flat belly, “I want to eat something.”

In fact, Little Goldfish didn’t sleep deeply in the car. He woke up within two minutes after Yuan Meng took him back to the bedroom. Because of the unfamiliar housing environment, he could only instinctively search for Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan.

Until he passed this bedroom, in fact, Little Goldfish didn’t lie.

From the angle he was standing, Shi Yunnan’s figure was completely blocked by Luo Lingsheng, and the two found him immediately.

But unfortunately, Little Goldfish had high emotional intelligence and cleverness, so he guessed that the two uncles were playing boo-boo again!

It’s good to boo-boo each other as long as you don’t quarrel!

Qin Jian arrived at the door and actively greeted the three people in the room, “It’s good that the little young master is awake. Patriarch, Mr. Shi, the maids have prepared the meal, why don’t you eat first and then rest?“

“Okay.” Shi Yunnan quickly changed the subject, “W-we’ll be right there.”

Qin Jian nodded when he heard Shi Yunnan‘s answer. At the same time, a question arose in his heart—

What’s going on here?

Why does Mr. Shi look a little unnatural?

Before Qin Jian could find out why, he heard Luo Lingsheng say solemnly, “Qin Jian, tell Yuan Meng he didn’t take care of the little young master well, so his salary will be deducted for three days.”

“…Ah?” Little Goldfish was stunned.

“…..” The same goes for Qin Jian. He was unsure of what to do.

However, Luo Lingsheng, as the family head, issued an order, so his subordinates naturally had to listen to it.

As soon as Little Goldfish heard that there was something to eat, he immediately turned his attention away and ran out of the room with Qin Jian.

Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng sat in the room, only that little atmosphere disappeared under the ‘accidental disruption’ of their little nephew.

Shi Yunnan sighed helplessly, “What should we do if we teach Little Goldfish bad things?”

Luo Lingsheng chuckled twice and deliberately joked, “You know that you have corrupted Little Goldfish now? In the past, he never dared to enter the room without knocking.“

“You didn’t close the door just now. Besides, he stayed out of the room obediently. Does he need to knock on the door?“

Shi Yunnan retorted unconvincingly, thinking that his teaching was good, “Since I came to this house, how lively Little Goldfish has become? He was almost turned into a piece of log by you before.”

“If you think I’m not doing a good job, why don’t you find someone else to teach him?” This last sentence was a joke.

Luo Lingsheng heard a series of bullet-like remarks from Shi Yunnan and helplessly pinched his Adam’s apple, “I just said one thing. Why are you bringing this up?”

Little Goldfish is a measured child, and will not spread such things verbally.

What’s more, they are legal husbands. Isn’t it only natural to do these things?

Shi Yunnan snorted with a smile, “You still have the nerve to say anything about me. I think you were even more guilty than I was when facing Little Goldfish just now. What did Yuan Meng do wrong for you to deduct his salary? Such an unscrupulous boss. Thank goodness he’s still working for you.”

Luo Lingsheng didn’t refute, “I’m just saying, that’s all. I’ll make it up for him with the bonus.”

Shi Yunnan got up and went around behind Luo Lingsheng’s wheelchair, “Let’s go, let’s eat. I’m hungry too.”

“Ok.”

On the other side, Qin Jian took Little Goldfish down first.

When Little Goldfish saw the fragrant steak on the table, he immediately darted over in greed.

Yuan Meng watched Little Goldfish climb onto the dining chair, and before he could come forward, Qin Jian approached him, “Mengmeng, let me tell you some bad news and some good news.”

Yuan Meng glanced at him and said nothing.

“The bad news is that the patriarch said you didn’t look after Little Goldfish well, and he would temporarily deduct you three days’ wages.”

“…..”

“The good news is that, considering our years of colleagues, I decided to shoulder half of this punishment with you.”

Qin Jian bumped Yuan Meng’s shoulder and said, “How is it? How are you going to thank me?”

Yuan Meng thought of Shi Yunnan’s speaking manner in the past, and replied, “If you pay my salary for three days, I will reconsider.”

Qin Jian, who fell into a passive position, “…..”

Recently, every time he verbally teased the other party, he was able to find ways to retort back, so who exactly led their honest Mengmeng astray?
