Chapter 61: Strange and Beautiful
"Xiaoran, come in quickly, quickly!"
Luo Ru grabbed Ling Ran's small hand and pulled her inside, as if she was afraid that Ling Ran would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Auntie, shoes..."
Ling Ran hurriedly pointed at her high heels covered in snow stains.
"What shoes? Just let Linglong clean them up later."
Luo Ru turned around and glared at Ling Ran in dissatisfaction, and just pushed Ling Ran in without thinking twice.
Although Wu Linglong had anticipated that everything would not go so smoothly, she still stared at the scene in amazement.
What is the difference in treatment?
Her old mother never even looked at her from beginning to end and completely ignored her.
Looking down at her delicate toes that had just stepped on the slippers, Wu Linglong felt that all this was unnecessary.
Has the old mother who inherited Wu Qingcheng's mysophobia become so biased?
Fortunately, it was Ling Ran. If her mother dared to treat other people like this, Wu Linglong would make sure that person gets as far away from her as possible. How could he dare to steal her favor?
Isn't this just seeking death?
"Linglong?"
When Wu Linglong walked into the living room, Luo Ru seemed to finally notice her presence.
"I still have some weight."
Wu Linglong was delighted and secretly felt sweet in her heart.
"Go wash some fruits and bring them over."
"By the way, tell Aunt Zhang to prepare something delicious tonight."
"I haven't seen my baby Xiaoran for a long time."
Luo Ru ordered Wu Linglong without even turning her head, which instantly shattered the girl's fantasy. She looked at Ling Ran, who was looking at her apologetically, with resentment, and then walked towards the kitchen reluctantly.
"Xiao Ran, I heard from Linglong that you have a boyfriend?"
Luo Ru kept holding Ling Ran's hand and never let go.
"Mo Wen is considered my boyfriend, right?"
Ling Ran was stunned, thought about it, and then replied with an awkward smile, "I guess so."
"Someday you must bring it home so that aunt can have a good look at it."
"Look at our Linglong."
"Maybe in a few months I'll have a grandchild."
“You have to work hard, too.”
Luo Ru's face was filled with joy, and she spoke loudly to Wu Linglong who was complaining in the kitchen, scaring the latter so much that her legs went weak.
"This kind of thing still depends on fate."
Ling Ran was also choked, but had to agree.
I didn’t think so when I was a child, but now that I’ve grown up, it seems that this aunt is worthy of being the mother of Wu Linglong and Wu Qingcheng. She is even less reliable than both of them, and her way of thinking is quite bizarre.
After realizing this, Ling Ran never expressed his own opinions again and just listened quietly to Luo Ru's chatter.
After not seeing each other for ten years, Luo Ru talked a lot, from study to work, and even whether Ling Ran would have a daughter or a son in the future.
Wu Linglong couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the kitchen angrily with some fruits in her hand.
“Bang!”
Putting the plate fiercely on the coffee table, Wu Linglong stood in front of the TV which she was not watching with her hands on her hips.
"Mom! Xiaoran is still young, let's talk about the future later."
"I'm going to take Xiaoran to my room now."
After saying this, Wu Linglong didn't give her old mother a chance to perform, and took Ling Ran's hand and prepared to slip away.
"Xiaoran, eating more fruits is good for your health."
Luo Ru was quick to move and quickly stuffed an apple into Ling Ran's other hand. After watching the two of them walk to the stairwell, she muttered, "Is it small?"
“Aren’t you younger than Xiaoran?”
"But I'll forgive you for the sake of my future grandchildren."
Wu Linglong was so angry that she was almost crazy, and she couldn't find any opportunity to vent.
She had to kick the door open, jump onto the bed and jump around violently, and finally kicked the stuffed toys on the bed to the floor before Wu Linglong calmed down.
"Xiao Ran, my mother is like that."
"Don't mind it."
Wu Linglong was a little annoyed. God knows if it was menopause. Why did he ask all kinds of questions without considering Ling Ran's feelings at all? Wu Linglong couldn't stand it anymore.
What about the sense of shame!
"fine."
Ling Ran responded with a smile.
It was indeed quite good. In the past ten years, apart from her grandmother, no elder had nagged her like this. And there was a generation gap between Ling Ran and her grandmother, so Luo Ru gave her a completely different feeling.
Of course, it was acceptable to hear it once in a while, but if he was nagged like this every day, Ling Ran felt that he couldn't stand it.
"But I also want to ask."
"When are you going to have the baby?"
Seeing that Ling Ran really didn't mind, Wu Linglong's eyes lit up, and she pounced in front of Ling Ran, supporting her chin with both hands, blinking her eyes, staring at Ling Ran like a curious baby.
"How should I know?"
“We are still young.”
Ling Ran's face turned red, and he lowered his head and drew awkwardly on his palm.
"Bang!"
Just as Wu Linglong was about to ask further questions, the door was kicked open.
Wu Qingcheng, with disheveled hair, leaned against the door frame, looking at Wu Linglong and Ling Ran with red eyes wearing panda glasses.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Wu Linglong immediately stood up and shouted angrily.
Wu Qingcheng did not answer and still looked at Wu Linglong with complicated expression.
This originally charming and flamboyant man looked very haggard. He used to love cleanliness but now he was so unkempt and untidy, completely different from the former Wu Qingcheng.
"fine."
Then Wu Qingcheng responded faintly and closed the door.
"What happened to your brother?"
Ling Ran asked doubtfully.
Everyone knows that Wu Qingcheng has always doted on Wu Linglong and has always been a lapdog in front of Wu Linglong. But with this look and this behavior now, has Wu Linglong offended him in some way?
"I don't know. I've been acting crazy these past two days."
"I either spend the whole day in the garden or in my room."
"I don't even eat."
"And he doesn't talk to us either."
Wu Linglong was also extremely puzzled.
Her brother behaved out of character, and it was unclear what was wrong. She tried to comfort him, but she couldn't even get into Wu Qingcheng's door.
The whole family has been worrying about this matter.
"There has to be a reason."
Ling Ran said softly again.
"Who knows?"
"Maybe he got dumped outside and was hurt."
Wu Linglong waved her hands, appearing heartless.
"But I haven't seen Brother Qingcheng have a girlfriend in all these years."
Ling Ran shook his head.
Wu Qingcheng looks unruly, but it seems a little unbelievable when you think about it carefully.
She had never seen Wu Qingcheng in a relationship. As a young man like him, he should never have trouble finding a girlfriend.
"Maybe he's gay."
Wu Linglong pursed her lips and muttered, obviously she was very unhappy about Wu Qingcheng kicking her door just now.
“…”
"Is it possible?"
A bold idea appeared in Ling Ran's mind.
Then Ling Ran looked at Wu Linglong with suspicion as she got out of bed to fix the lock. While he felt there were many doubts, he also felt it was extremely absurd.
