Chapter 74 An Xin, do you know that you become extremely abnormal when you get jealous...
They went home to pick up Leo and went to the old house for dinner together.
This was Yuntan's second time to eat here since New Year's Eve, but he was no longer as reserved as the first time.
There are many servants in the old house.
Those who took care of the two elderly people's daily living and meals, and those who took care of the flowers, plants, insects and fish in the yard, greeted and welcomed them warmly when they saw the two people and the dog coming back together.
They are all elderly people who have taken care of Lu Kun and Liao Yinqiu for many years. They are all old-fashioned in their way of addressing each other. They call Lu Wangshan "Young Master" and naturally subconsciously call Yun Tan "Young Madam".
However, Lu Wangshan stopped her and changed her name to the more formal "Miss Yun".
Liao Yinqiu was feeding the fish by the pond, glancing sideways at Lu Kun who was pretentiously fiddling with the pine tree.
Humph, the old man is still putting on airs. It's obvious that he is here to wait for his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
Lu Wangshan drove his car into the yard without looking back. He waited until the two children called him "Grandpa" before he turned around and pretended to have just noticed them coming back.
It's true that the older you get, the heavier the burden becomes.
"Are you exhausted from climbing the mountain today?" Liao Yinqiu stepped forward, took Yun Tan's hand, and squeezed her wrist. "You're really thin. Is Wang Shan's cooking not to your liking? If not, I'll pick a good chef and cook for you."
"Without grandma, I've actually gained a few pounds, but I don't dare eat too much for fear of getting too fat."
"You're just too tired. You're working and preparing for graduate school. You should make sure you get enough rest and avoid staying up late. It's very harmful to your health."
Yuntan nodded.
Lu Wangshan even deliberately fanned the flames: "Your granddaughter-in-law won't be tired. She even asked me to carry her down the mountain."
Lu Wangshan had no intention of complaining about this; he was simply showing off his affection.
He is now completely immersed in the sweetness of first love, and his display of affection is becoming more and more unrestrained.
Yun Tan was not good at being so intimate in front of the elders, and was afraid that Lu Wangshan's grandparents would think that she was "torturing" him, so she immediately gave him a look with red ears that said "shut up".
Liao Yinqiu laughed first. "It seems Xiao Tan and I are of the same bloodline. When the Great Wall of Beijing was first opened as a tourist attraction, I went there with your grandfather. I asked him to carry me, and after we got off, his legs were shaking so much that he stayed in bed for three days! He even said he'd been in the army!"
Lu Kun had a serious face and scolded Liao Yinqiu for talking nonsense in front of the younger generation again.
"I never talk nonsense, but anyone who keeps this up has a face thicker than a city wall!"
Yun Tan couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lu Kun's gaze immediately swept over, and Yun Tan quickly suppressed his smile and acted dignified and serious.
Unexpectedly, Lu Kun's eyebrows furrowed, and he stared at Yun Tan and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
The kitten blinked honestly: "A little bit."
"snort."
Lu Kun snorted in displeasure, turned his head away and said softly, "What's there to be afraid of? Our Lu family has always been run by women, and they are not afraid of people."
Yun Tan was stunned.
After Lu Kun said this, he walked quickly into the house, his steps were a little hurried, probably because he was not used to saying such soft words in front of the younger generation.
Although these soft words are also out of place.
Lu Shiyue was also invited to today's dinner, but Ruan Zhao didn't come and was still flying all over the world.
Lu Shiyue was still not used to calling Yuntan "sister-in-law". He could get away with it usually, but today he couldn't do it in front of his grandparents.
The two old men have always attached great importance to etiquette since childhood, and they would give Yun Tan a glare if he showed any impoliteness to him.
So she reluctantly treated Yuntan respectfully as her elder sister-in-law.
Then Yuntan is even more infuriating!
She sat next to Lu Wangshan, and on the other side was Liao Yinqiu, who smiled sweetly at him whom she called "sister-in-law", looking so gentle and amiable.
Humph, in fact, the fox's tail is about to be shaken out! His eyes are shining, it is obvious that he has a backer and is showing off his power to him!
Lu Shiyue couldn't eat.
Being called "sister-in-law" again and again made him feel uncomfortable, even though he and Yun Tan were the same age!
After dinner, Liao Yinqiu continued to chat with Yun Tan.
Lu Wangshan went out to answer a work call. When he finished, he turned around and saw Lu Shiyue leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Why did you come out?" Lu Wangshan asked.
Lu Shiyue curled his lips: "There is no room for me at home."
Lu Wangshan chuckled and said, "I told you long ago, if you respect your sister-in-law, she won't bother you."
Lu Shiyue tried to recall when he had said "I told you so long ago". He dug deep into his memory and remembered that it was when he returned home after his high school graduation trip and saw Yun Tan at home that his brother had given him this advice.
Lu Wangshan patted his shoulder and asked, "Now it's like this? Who is to blame?"
“…”
Lu Shiyue simply watched his brother fall into the fox hole and was happy to do so.
After a pause, he asked again: "Brother, when will you propose to my sister-in-law?"
"Soon." Lu Wangshan answered ambiguously.
"If you need any help, just tell me. I can at least help you arrange the proposal scene."
"No, I'll prepare it myself."
Lu Wangshan did not plan to invite his relatives and friends to witness his proposal. Although he was now more than 80% sure that Yun Tan would agree to his proposal, he was also worried that those who would cheer him on with words like "marry him" would burden Yun Tan and make her give an unsatisfactory answer.
Agree or not, it doesn’t matter.
He can continue to wait.
He just needed Yun Tan to tell him the answer in his heart.
So his proposal plan would only involve him and Yun Tan.
He wanted Yuntan to say "I do" willingly and without any burden.
Lu Shiyue asked again: "When will you propose?"
Lu Wangshan smiled: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Lu Shiyue found it difficult to speak, and hesitantly said, "I want to propose to Ruan Zhao. I hinted, but she said you're not even married yet."
"That means the time has not come yet. It has nothing to do with whether I am married or not." Lu Wangshan said.
Lu Shiyue was a little sad. Ruan Zhao always met too many dazzling people in his career. Although he was the man Ruan Zhao had been with for the longest time, Lu Shiyue still couldn't control his possessiveness and wanted to settle down as soon as possible.
"You've only been dating for a year, what's the rush?"
Lu Shiyue muttered to himself, "You and Yuntan have only been together for half a year, aren't you anxious?"
"Can the emotional foundation between us be the same as yours?"
“…”
-
At eight o'clock in the evening, they left together.
On the way home, they passed by a bookstore. Yun Tan got off the car to buy some of the latest textbooks needed for the postgraduate entrance examination, while Lu Wangshan waited at the door of the bookstore with Leo.
Some of the textbooks and books were recommended by Zhong Xuzhi.
Yun Tan quickly made his selection and bought a few more pens, but was suddenly stopped by a voice behind him.
"Xiao Tan?"
Yun Tan turned around and was surprised to see Ding Mian. He smiled and said, "Minister Ding, long time no see!"
Ding Mian smiled with the same gentle look as before: "I'm not your boss anymore, why do you still call me Director Ding? Are you here to buy books?"
"Yes, I'm going to try for the postgraduate entrance exam and buy some textbooks."
Ding Mian glanced at the cover and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Computer?"
"Um."
"It's not easy to cross such a wide range of majors."
Yun Tan smiled and said, "Even if I try, I may not be able to pass the exam."
"You can definitely pass the exam. Your overall scores were always among the best back then," Ding Mian asked. "I heard from Li Sen that you went to Bozhong. How's your new job going?"
The relationship between the two was a bit awkward after all, and Yuntan was an overly decisive person. They had seldom been in contact since she went to work in Guangdong, and they hadn't been in contact since she changed jobs.
It was because of Li Sen that I could know some of her recent situation.
“It’s good, but now I often work from home, so I don’t have many opportunities to meet new colleagues.”
Ding Mian also paid the money, and the two walked out together.
"How are you going back?"
"Oh, my boyfriend is waiting for me outside."
Ding Mian paused and realized that they were together again.
He nodded and said with a smile, "Goodbye then. I'll have dinner with you all again when I get back to LH."
Yuntan also smiled and said "Okay".
As I approached the door of the bookstore, I saw Lu Wangshan and Leo waiting there. Ku Ren Ku Gou had already attracted a lot of attention.
Yun Tan had no intention of letting Lu Wangshan and Ding Mian meet. After all, this man was narrow-minded and jealous, and he would make trouble for her when he was jealous.
She was about to say goodbye to Ding Mian and walk away quickly, but Leo turned around first, and the eyes of the man and the dog met.
Yuntan quickly and quietly made a "hush" gesture.
But Leo didn't understand and suddenly called out in their direction: "Woof!"
Lu Wangshan turned around and saw two people standing side by side. Yun Tan's index finger was still raised to his lips.
Yuntan: “…………”
She put down her hand awkwardly and saw Lu Wangshan raised his eyebrows at her.
Ding Mian went over and shook hands with Lu Wangshan. He naturally didn't know that he had once made Lu Wangshan jealous. He greeted him, "Mr. Lu, I'm Ding Mian from LH. What a coincidence to run into you here."
Lu Wangshan also shook hands with the man, chatted for a few words in a businesslike manner, and then parted ways.
Yun Tan pinched Leo's ear quietly and punitively, saying in a low voice, "Bad boy Leo, don't you know your dad is super petty? You're going to kill Mom."
Before Leo could react, Lu Wangshan snorted coldly and glanced at her.
Yun Tan sat in the passenger seat, and as soon as the door closed, he took the initiative to attack: "Don't get excited, Lu Wangshan."
"Why am I here?"
"I am innocent, don't try to slander me."
"I haven't said anything yet, why are you so anxious?"
Being petty again.
Yuntan snorted and turned his face away, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
After arriving home, Lu Wangshan wiped Leo's feet at the entrance, while Yun Tan went to the study with several heavy textbooks.
Her study habits are not good. She rarely sits upright at the desk when reading. She often lies or sprawls on the sofa in all kinds of strange postures.
Lu Wangshan didn't know how she learned it.
He has some traditional thinking in this regard. Although it is not necessary to sit upright at a desk to study, Yuntan's way of studying will sooner or later damage his spine and waist.
So they had the sofas and recliners originally placed in the study removed, leaving only a solid wooden desk in the huge study, forcing Yuntan to sit obediently on the hard chair.
She had just opened the book and was about to go through the table of contents with the video course when Lu Wangshan pushed the door open.
"It's quite late, why don't you go to bed?"
Yuntan glanced at him.
Humph, he never urged her to sleep when she was studying. What evil ideas did he have in mind?
Lu Wangshan met her scrutinizing gaze.
The kitten looked him up and down, looking as adorable as could be.
He suddenly laughed out loud: "Why are you so wary of me?"
"What do you think?"
Lu Wangshan couldn't let go of her anymore and stepped forward to pinch her cheek: "I'm asking you because I don't know."
"Lu Wangshan." Yun Tan stared at him, his voice low, as if filled with genuine doubt. "Do you know how abnormal you become when you get jealous?"
She still remembers how jealous he was in Xinjiang!
If she didn't love him, she would have been scared away. How could there be such a person?
Lu Wangshan was touched by her cuteness again. He rubbed her overly soft and delicate cheeks with his fingertips. He imitated her tone and asked with a smile: "Then you knew I was jealous, so why didn't you comfort me?"
"Will my coaxing you stop being a pervert? It will only make you more perverted."
“…”
When Lu Wangshan was asked this question, his thoughts became distracted, and it seemed that he was unable to recover.
Yun Tan looked at his expression, lowered his gaze, found the evidence, and immediately snorted coldly: "Lu Wangshan, you are a pervert!"
It’s a good thing that everyone thinks he is a gentleman!
Lu Wangshan put his index finger on her chin and raised it: "That means we are really a good match."
"Why?"
"Because Xiao Tan is also very perverted when she is jealous."
"Don't frame me! You think everyone is the same as you. I never get jealous!"
Lu Wangshan reminded her slowly, "When we were in Guangdong, didn't you send me pictures of yourself to seduce me because you were jealous? We weren't together at that time."
“…”
The kitten was in the wrong and was unwilling to accept the situation, so it grabbed the man's collar and pounced on him to bite him.
Lu Wangshan didn't care about the bite on his neck. He leaned over, easily picked up the kitten and put her on the desk.
The kitten still refused to let go, its teeth were sharp. Lu Wangshan hugged her while opening the drawer next to him and took out one.
Yun Tan was stunned. When did he put it here?!
"You're really annoying!"
Lu Wangshan smiled and kissed her lips, which she had just bitten: "My dear."
After many days, the kiss made the two of them feel more genuinely passionate.
The kitten was a vengeful kitten. She had not forgotten that he had just made fun of her. She was panting and making fun of Qiao. However, Lu Wangshan knew every secret of her body best and made her open up easily.
Beneath him was an overly old-fashioned and hard wooden desk, in his ears was the sound of surging tides. Yun Tan hugged Lu Wangshan's neck, and because of this posture, her cheeks were buried in his chest, and her nostrils were filled with his pleasant scent.
Yuntan was breathing so hard that he was almost suffocating.
After a while, he started to grumble that the table was too hard and cold.
Lu Wangshan picked her up and sat her on a chair, holding her knees with his hands to prevent them from getting rubbed, but he could still hear the kitten lying next to his ear sobbing and complaining too deeply.
Really delicate and cute.
Yuntan was so exhausted that he felt dizzy. When he was taken to take a bath, he was already very sleepy and fell into a good sleep.
-
After Yuan Qinrong passed away, the responsibility of Yuan Hongren's daily care fell on Yun Qihui.
The Yuan family fell into decline, Yuan Siliu was imprisoned awaiting trial, and Yuan Fang was restricted from leaving the country until the group's various economic investigations were completed. The younger generations of the Yuan family also fell apart.
It was only at this time that Yun Qihui truly understood how hard it had been for Yuan Qinrong to take care of Yuan Hongren for the past nearly twenty years.
He couldn't be as meticulous, patient and careful as Yuan Qinrong.
Yuan Hongren couldn't understand life and death very well. He only knew that he hadn't seen his mother for many days, and he hadn't seen Yun Tan and Lu Wangshan, the two people he liked, for a long time.
Although he and Yun Qihui are biological father and son, they are not actually familiar with each other.
So Yuan Hongren started crying and screaming endlessly again. He refused to eat, and vomited yellow water while crying because of hunger. Yun Qihui was helpless in doing anything about it.
In fact, he had never really coaxed Yuan Hongren.
It was also at this time that Yun Qihui, while dealing with Yuan Qinrong's funeral, learned that she had invested almost all of her assets in the disability foundation.
With the mentality of giving it a try, and perhaps with a bit of "abandonment" mentality that he was unwilling to admit, Yun Qihui sent Yuan Hongren there and arranged boarding and care services for him.
This luxury nursing home, which is backed by a foundation, looks very professional.
To a certain extent, it soothed Yun Qihui's guilty conscience.
After all, this is how he has lived for most of his life. It's not that he hasn't seen the harm that he and Yuan Qinrong have done to Yun Tan. He always dares not look Yun Tan in the eyes because he feels guilty.
But he is too good at comforting himself with hypocrisy and self-justification - it doesn't matter, at least you raised her well, it doesn't matter, at least she is living a good life now.
…
Yuntan's work started to get really busy. The company she just joined planned to launch a new high-end brand, and she was assigned to be the youngest chief designer.
There are endless meetings, endless brainstorming sessions, and design drafts that need to be returned and retyped every day.
One day at noon, Li Sen happened to be holding a brand experience day near her company and invited Yun Tan to have lunch together.
Seeing her keep her earphones on during the entire meal and several phone calls, still using a string of technical terms that even she found profound, she was truly stunned and sighed repeatedly, "The general has entrusted such a great responsibility to such a person."
Yun Tan smiled at her during the phone call and asked, "Do you want to change jobs and face the storm? Teacher Li Sen."
Li Sen quickly made a big cross sign and said, "No, I'm a lay-flat person. The storm won't baptize me, but it will kill me."
She poked the ice in the cup with a straw and asked, "Aren't you still preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination? Do you still have time to prepare now?"
"Time is like water in a sponge—"
Li Sen chuckled: "That's so inspiring, darling. You're so busy all day and your sponsor doesn't say anything to you?"
"What are you talking about me? He's busier than me."
It was only after Yun Tan became really busy that he realized how difficult it was for Lu Wangshan to travel back and forth between Beijing and Guangdong every week.
She answered another call, saw Li Sen wipe his mouth with a tissue, and suggested that they stop here for today.
Li Sen was dissatisfied: "Aren't you a bit of a workaholic now?"
Yun Tan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I have a video conference with the Singapore branch at 12:30."
The two of them walked out together, carrying their bags. "Having a meeting without a lunch break is worse than LH! Can't you hold it in the evening? At least you get overtime pay in the evening."
"No, Teacher Li Sen, you have to go and flip the cards tonight, otherwise the sponsor will really make a fuss." Yun Tan sighed with a bit of sarcasm.
Li Sen was amused by her and gave her a thumbs up: "A heroine."
That day, Yun Tan finally got off work on time, and Lu Wangshan came to pick her up.
As the deputy director of the design department, she seemed to be busier than the chairman Lu Wangshan, and it became Lu Wangshan's way of accommodating her rest time.
The two went to have dinner together.
The wind was already smelling of early summer, and Yuntan was filled with relaxation after a long day of work.
Time is the best magician who can heal all wounds.
This also includes Yuntan's stomach problems. She had a comprehensive physical examination some time ago, and her previous stomach problems have almost healed.
So she couldn't control her mouth and started drinking again.
Most of the time, Lu Wangshan did not impose any restrictions on her and would only snatch the bottle back when she drank too much.
Yun Tan drank some red wine, but was far from being drunk. However, she became lazy, holding her chin with her hand, looking lazy and charming, and her bright and fragrant eyes were darting around.
Several times, Lu Wangshan couldn't take his eyes off her once he saw her.
The kitten started to become clingy again.
When Lu Wangshan was paying the bill, she took his arm and pressed her soft body against him, which easily made him distracted. So when they left with Yun Tan in their arms, their steps became more hurried.
But after the car drove a distance, Yuntan realized that this was not the way home.
"Where are we going?" Yun Tan turned his head and asked.
“The sanatorium is being built nearby.”
It is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and the environment is very good.
Yuntan blinked, then realized who was in the sanatorium.
She hasn't seen Yuan Hongren these days, but she knows without a doubt that Yuan Hongren will not be able to accept a life without Yuan Qinrong.
"When did he go?"
"Half a month."
"Did Yun Qihui send him there...?"
Lu Wangshan glanced at her sideways, then reached out and silently rubbed the back of her hand as a comfort. His voice was very gentle: "Well, he wasn't in good condition during the first week he was there, so I didn't tell you. He's been much better recently, but it's too late today, so we can just observe him from outside the room."
Yuntan was a little confused and leaned back in his chair for a long time without saying anything.
Until Lu Wangshan stopped the car.
She thought about Yuan Hongren’s many states, crying and making a fuss, or being silent?
But I didn't expect that through the clean and spacious glass windows, I saw a dozen young people of similar age in the bright room. They were taking a handicraft class together, weaving straw hats.
Yuan Hongren lowered his head, looked very serious, and did a very good job. He was even praised by the handicraft teacher.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here so late today?" The person in charge of the nursing home came forward to greet him.
Lu Wangshan nodded: "I happened to be nearby, so I came to take a look."
"Hongren has been getting better recently, and his emotions are stable most of the time, but his social interactions with other people are still limited."
The person in charge said, "You mentioned before that he has good hands-on skills. He has performed very well in the recent handicraft classes, which has helped him calm down. We will donate these handicrafts through charity channels in the future. In the future, we may let Hongren teach handicraft classes to help him get used to socializing step by step."
They did not disturb Yuan Hongren that day, but just watched through the glass window.
For the first time, Yun Tan truly felt that Yuan Hongren was peeling away from her. Perhaps she really didn't have to bear Yuan Hongren's life burden for the rest of her life.
When leaving, Lu Wangshan held her hand and whispered, "Remember, I told you before that maybe soon, we can get along easily with Hongren."
Yun Tan's eyes burned, he pursed his lips and nodded, then spoke after a moment: "Lu Wangshan."
"Um?"
“Sometimes I really don’t know how to say thank you to you.”
"Then there's no need to say thank you between us." Lu Wangshan took her hand and kissed the back of it, then said with a smile, "Xiao Tan, if you want to say thank you, you might as well say you love me. That would make me happier."
Yun Tan chuckled softly, then turned to look at Lu Wangshan with a pair of bright and crystal eyes.
She stopped, stood facing him, held his face in her hands, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Mommy, you are the person I love most in this world."
…
That night, Lu Wangshan was exceptionally gentle, wrapping Yun Tan around him like a warm tide.
She was carefully carried to take a bath to wash off the excessive stickiness on her body, and then was placed in a newly changed dry quilt.
Yuntan fell asleep quickly, and somehow opened his eyes in a half-awake state.
Lu Wangshan had also fallen asleep, lying on his side facing her, his arm still on her waist.
Yun Tan turned her head and saw his enlarged face. She couldn't help but stretch out her fingertips to gently touch his eyelashes.
Lu Wangshan frowned slightly and unconsciously grabbed Yun Tan's hand.
"Sleeping so soundly." Yun Tan muttered softly.
On such a quiet night, Yun Tan felt an unprecedented peace in her heart. She could even hear Leo's footsteps in the living room as he got up to drink some water.
"Lu Wangshan, when are you going to propose to me?"
Yun Tan asked in a low voice, looking a little distressed.
He was so impatient when he proposed to me before, why is he so patient now?
"If you don't ask me, I'll propose to you first." Yun Tan looked at his eyelashes and said softly.
