Chapter 48 Surgery Abroad
Cheng Ning moved, intending to break free. Xiao Meng was still there; how could she be so intimate with Lu Ran? Even when Xiao Meng wasn't around, they had never been this close.
This was the first time she and Lu Ran had been this close.
When she leaned on Lu Ran's shoulder during the movie, it was her initiative, and it was just her head resting on his shoulder.
She was now practically completely embraced by Lu Ran, how could she not panic?
However, just as Cheng Ning was about to break free, she felt Lu Ran suddenly tighten his arms, clamping her down so she couldn't move at all.
Those slightly forceful words reached my ears.
"Don't move, you're not finished washing yet."
Cheng Ning's ears immediately turned red, while Wu Xiaomeng covered her face, her eyes wide open as she stared at the couple showing off their affection through her fingers.
She immediately understood; her brother-in-law was trying to prove to her that he wasn't straight.
At this moment, her brother-in-law was indeed not a straight man; he was very good at flirting and had a domineering CEO vibe. Wu Xiaomeng concluded that although her sister Ning said she would let go, she was secretly thrilled.
Lu Ran, meanwhile, was gently holding Cheng Ning while slowly washing the potatoes.
It wasn't that he wanted to be provocative, but the system hadn't shown the task as completed yet, and he couldn't let Cheng Ning run off halfway. He'd already hugged her, so he had to get the system reward.
【Ding! 】
[The host's shamelessness both delighted and annoyed Cheng Ning. Congratulations, host, your days of finding a partner are just around the corner.]
[Gained 500 treasure chest experience points.]
Lu Ran thought to himself, "Didn't you tell me to do this? How come I'm the shameless one? I refused at first, okay?!"
The system did not respond.
Lu Ran knew that he must have been rendered speechless by what he said, and had realized his mistake. He shouldn't have wronged him.
Cheng Ning's weak voice came through: "Lu Ran, have you finished washing the vegetables?"
Wu Xiaomeng then interjected, "Sister Ning, brother-in-law finished washing a long time ago, and washed himself several times. I guess he was holding on so tightly he couldn't bear to let go."
"Brother-in-law, you're already like this, you could have given me a full hug. Is it because I'm here that you're doing this? Or should I go out for a bit and you two have a little chat?"
Cheng Ning, embarrassed and flustered, said, "Xiao Meng."
"I won't be making you hot and sour shredded potatoes later."
Wu Xiaomeng quickly begged for forgiveness, pitifully saying, "Sister Ning, I was wrong. I love your shredded potatoes so much. If I don't eat them now, I don't know when I'll have the chance again."
After Cheng Ning finished talking about Wu Xiaomeng, she realized that Lu Ran still hadn't let go.
This left her both angry and helpless.
She asked weakly, "When are you finally going to finish washing?"
Seeing that Cheng Ning was about to cry, Lu Ran finally let go of her.
He was just spacing out, not that he was addicted to hugging and couldn't bear to part with it. It's all the system's fault for assigning him this kind of task.
It took the three of them more than an hour to finally prepare dinner.
After dinner, Lu Ran said to Cheng Ning, "Our visas are ready. We'll be leaving the country in three days. Have you thought about what to do with Duo Duo?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ning replied, "Just send it to a guide dog training institution!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Ning's cheeks turned red.
Finding Duoduo was so easy; she used to use that as an excuse to get Lu Ran's help before. Now that Lu Ran knows, he'll definitely wonder if she did it on purpose.
How can this be good?
As Cheng Ning thought about it, she panicked, afraid that Lu Ran would hate her after discovering her past little schemes.
Lu Ran smiled and said, "That's good. Just prepare whatever you need to do these next few days. We don't know how long we'll be staying out here."
Seeing that Lu Ran's tone and attitude had not changed at all, Cheng Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She nodded gently and replied, "Mm."
···
three days later.
Tianhai International Airport.
Inside the hall, Lin Shaoxian and Liang Mengying sat together. Lin Shaoxian said affectionately, "Honey, my aunt owns a shop in the United States, and I have many capable friends there. I was thinking, how about we hold our wedding there?"
In the past, Liang Mengying would have been very happy to hear that she could get married in the United States, and she would have felt very proud.
She even immediately told her sisters the news.
But now, Liang Mengying seemed a little absent-minded.
He chuckled and said, "Hmm...we'll see later."
Lin Shaoxian could tell that his girlfriend was troubled, and he was just about to test her when his phone rang.
It was a message from his friend Wang Jiachao.
Wang Jiachao: Shao Xian, how was last night? The show I arranged for you was alright, wasn't it? Let me tell you, it was hosted by a fairly well-known internet celebrity.
Lin Shaoxian had just turned on the screen when he immediately and hurriedly locked it.
He glanced at his girlfriend and, realizing she wasn't paying attention to his actions, breathed a sigh of relief.
He found a discreet angle to reply to a message, then put away his phone and resumed his smile.
What Lin Shaoxian didn't know was...
Liang Mengying saw everything he did.
I saw every single word of that message.
But Liang Mengying pretended not to see it.
When Liang Mengying first met Lin Shaoxian, she knew that he had an unhealthy private life, but she didn't care at the time.
In her view, a smart woman, upon discovering her husband's infidelity, should not expose him, but rather leverage his guilt towards her to maximize her own benefits.
Liang Mengying has always believed that this is the mindset of a strong woman, a sophisticated approach that ordinary women can never comprehend in their entire lives.
But she gradually realized that she had overestimated her ability to cope.
Liang Mengying understood that a large part of the reason she didn't care about Lin Shaoxian's promiscuity was because she simply didn't like him.
But when she followed Lin Shaoxian and entered the circle she had always dreamed of, she discovered...
In that circle, she received no respect whatsoever; no one would truly respect her just because she was Lin Shaoxian's woman.
If it's really as she dreams, then the social circle that ordinary people can't reach is high-end and noble, and she can tolerate it. She can accept paying some price to marry into a wealthy family.
But the closer I got to her, the more I realized.
How vile and lewd those people were, men with men... women with women.
When Liang Mengying unexpectedly learned about the bizarre experiences of these wealthy second-generation students who had returned from studying abroad, she simply sat next to Lin Shaoxian and felt disgusted.
"Honey."
Lin Shaoxian reached out to hug his girlfriend as usual, but Liang Mengying dodged it.
Liang Mengying said awkwardly, "I'm not feeling well."
Lin Shaoxian frowned. If he weren't aiming to marry Liang Mengying, he would have lost his temper long ago.
He spent so much money, and all he gets is a few kisses and touches. Now he won't even let me hug him. Does he think I'm a sucker?
Fortunately, two figures appeared at the elevator entrance at that moment, easing the tension.
"The temperature in Boston is similar to that in China, so it's probably gotten colder there too."
"I have a scarf in my bag; you can take it out and put it on if you're cold."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran took a scarf out of Cheng Ning's bag, then gently put it around her neck and carefully adjusted it to ensure it would keep out the cold wind.
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "I told you to use it, so what are you doing giving it to me?"
Lu Ran laughed and said, "I'm not cold."
Before Cheng Ning could say anything more, Lu Ran led her forward.
Lu Ran waved to the front.
"Mr. Lin."
Lin Shaoxian nodded, then looked at the girl next to Lu Ran in surprise.
He knew that the patient next to Lu Ran was a woman, but he had never seen her before.
I really didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
Of course, he only paused for a moment before looking away. Given Lu Ran's demonstrated strength, it was best to befriend him if possible.
After greeting the two men, Lu Ran introduced them to Cheng Ning, saying, "This is Mr. Lin and his girlfriend."
Cheng Ning smiled and nodded: "Hello."
Lin Shaoxian responded with a smile, while Liang Mengying stood motionless, seemingly unsure of what was wrong.
Lu Ran helped Cheng Ning find a seat, and seeing that it was time for her massage, he said, "Sit down, it's time for your head massage."
Cheng Ning said nervously, "I, I myself..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ran had already started touching her. Helpless, Cheng Ning could only blush and enjoy it.
What Lu Ran is doing now is just his most ordinary and commonplace actions, which Cheng Ning has already gotten used to, and even Wu Xiaomeng, who has been with him for a few days, has gotten used to it.
But for Liang Mengying now, it's like a sharp knife, deeply embedded in her heart.
