Chapter 165: Are You Moving Houses?
Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations
Ling Yun was indeed a busy man. Not only did he have to deliver food to his lady at home, he had to get Tang Meng with him to register an account at a stock brokerage firm. He could not afford to waste any time on food.
Knowing Ling Yun was going to leave, Xue Meining tightened her grip on his elbow as she was anxious to part with her beloved man. Giving Ling Yun a pitiful look, she pleaded him, “Ling Yun, you are so busy every day, can’t you just spare me a bit of your time for lunch? I have something to tell you.”
Was Ling Yun a born romance idiot? Or was he just trying to act dumb? He was making Xue Meining very confused. All she wanted to do was to confess her feelings for him. She had given him flowers, met with his parents, kissed and hugged him countless times. She needed his affirmation of their relationship.
Why is she so clingy?
Ling Yun thought to himself before coaxing Xue Meining, “Ning Er, how about this. I really have something urgent to attend to now, I’ll meet you for a meal after school ends later?” Ling Yun came up with a solution on the spot.
It seemed like Ling Yun really had something urgent to settle, “You are not to break your promise! We better eat something good later!” Xue Meining was convinced. Nodding her head excitedly, she gave in to Ling Yun’s idea and loosened her grip on his elbow.
As Ling Yun acknowledged her request, Xue Meining was heartened and delighted. She tiptoed and gave him a peck on his cheek, before scurrying off with her blushing-red face.
Touching the lipstick mark on his cheek, he looked in the direction of the departing Xue Meining and uttered to himself, “This chick actually took everything seriously…”
With no time to waste, he rushed to the nearest restaurant, picked the sides he wanted and left for home.
“Time for lunch!” Ling Yun exclaimed, right after entering the house.
Hearing her favorite voice on Earth, Zhuang Meifeng dropped what she had on her hands and eagerly ran out to pound herself onto Ling Yun’s chest.
With both hands carrying the takeaway, all he could do was to open his arms wide and allow Zhuang Meifeng to toss herself onto him.
“Hubby, I missed you so much!” Zhuang Meifeng hugged Ling Yun around his waist tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe properly.
Wow! The one at home is even more clingy!
Ling Yun giggled, “You must be hungry! Let’s have lunch.”
Finally, Ling Yun was able to breathe after his dear ‘wife’ loosened her grip on him. “Hubby, you are so handsome!” Zhuang Meifeng commented.
“That’s true. But you are gorgeous too!” Ling Yun reciprocated her deep love for him by flattering her.
That was enough to sweeten up Zhuang Meifeng’s day. Taking over the bags of takeaways, she persuaded Ling Yun to get himself water to drink.
Having turned Zhuang Meifeng from an arrogant phoenix to a tamed and docile sparrow, there was nothing to complain about Ling Yun’s method and tremendous effort.
“Anyways, have you done up the list yet? I can go and get the items for you,” Ling Yun said, wanting to help his wife out.
There had to be at least some groceries on the list! There was no way Ling Yun was going to buy takeaways three meals a day.
“Hubby, aren’t you staying home to eat lunch?” Zhuang Meifeng found it surprising as he had bought two portions of rice back.
“I have to go to a firm to set up an account. I don’t have time to eat at home,” Ling Yun replied honestly.
Zhuang Meifeng’s initial appetite was gone. She was now no longer in a mood to eat. She had just gotten to see Ling Yun after missing him for so long and now he was going to leave her again.
“Sure…” Zhuang Meifeng complied reluctantly as she walked into the bedroom to retrieve the list.
Taking over the list to have a look, Ling Yun was flabbergasted.
How in the hell?
It was as good as filling up the room! The list was incredibly long, ten pages long! Items ranging from refrigerator and washing machine to apples and tomatoes were all present!
However, Zhuang Meifeng’s handwriting was as aesthetically pleasing as her figure, made the chore more appealing.
Flipping to Page 9, Ling Yun read out, “‘White Bathtub 1.5metres x 2m’. Why do we need to get a bathtub?” He probed.
“I’ve gotten used to showering in a bathtub… Let me be,” Zhuang Meifeng answered in a shy but seductive tone.
“Oh… And Hubby, I’ll need more clothing too, it’s not on the list. We can go and get them together when you are free! Is there anything else you need to get?” Zhuang Meifeng added.
He had thought Xue Meining was the worst shopaholic he had seen. Today, his beloved wife, proved him otherwise.
“I think this is enough…” Ling Yun replied in his calmest tone possible.
It is going to be an exhaustive labor day for Tang Meng. For once, Ling Yun felt the importance of having a buddy in his life!
“Actually, there’s more stuff to buy but I’ll let you know when I think of them…” Zhuang Meifeng commented embarrassingly. It was something she could not write down.
What? There’s more? All these items add up to more than ten million dollars already! I might as well top them up with an apartment!
“Okay then. You shall stay home and finish your meal, I’ll get you these items now!” Ling Yun swallowed the heart-wrenching pain in his wallet and put up a generous smile to Zhuang Meifeng.
Before Ling Yun left the house, Zhuang Meifeng held him back one last time. She provided Ling Yun with a step-by-step guide to register for an account at the brokerage firm.
Not long after, Ling Yun finally stepped out of the house. He could finally have a breather from the stress due to the list. Immediately, he dialed for Tang Meng to pick him up outside the school gate.
As he made his way to the pickup point, he received a text message: “Are you busy? Why are you not replying?”
These were sent by the nurse, Yao Rou. She was becoming more and more panicky as Ling Yun had not replied to her.
Her phone never left her. She would make frequent check on the notifications, in hopes that she would receive a reply from Ling Yun.
Thus, when Ling Yun was free to call her directly, her first instinct was to stop what she was doing and to pick up the call.
“Hi, is this Ling Yun?” Yao Rou spoke excitedly. Her excitement to talk to Ling Yun outweighed her anxiety to talk to him.
“Yes, it’s me. Find an accessible location in the central region of town. I’ll pick you up,” Ling Yun answered.
Though Tang Meng was capable of running the errand himself, things would be more convenient and less tedious with the help of Yao Rou.
Grinning with joy about what Ling Yun had said to her, she hurriedly proceeded to find a familiar location for Ling Yun to pick her up at.
“Do you remember to wear what I told you to?” Ling Yun made a casual remark.
“Yes my sir, I’m wearing it now…” Yao Rou replied erotically.
On Rou Yao’s body was not an ordinary nurse uniform. It was one of those sexy nurse outfits only sold at sex shops, specifically used to entice and arouse people during kinky sessions.
Ling Yun was glad to hear that. Hanging up the phone, he spotted Tang Meng and made his way in. The first thing he said to Tang Meng was the address from Yao Rou.
“Head to this place first. We can talk on the way there,” Ling Yun chuckled softly as he imagined Tang Meng doing the chores.
“Brother, I’ve asked my mother about registering the account. She’s quite close to one of the managers at a brokerage firm. So we can head there straight,” Tang Meng was indeed efficient in getting things done. Ling Yun had only given him instructions two periods ago.
“Tang Meng, do you know how it feels like to buy everything from a supermarket? Do you want to try?” Ling Yun asked while taking out the list from his pocket.
Tang Meng had no idea what is coming his way, “Of course I want to! But I’m even not financially capable to afford myself a second-hand luxury good…” he added.
“Don’t worry. As long as you want it I can make it happen. I’ll come up with the money! All you have to do is to get me the items I want! Whatever you buy, get me the highest quality!” Ling Yun smiled as he assured Tang Meng not to worry about the money.
That put a bright smile on Tang Meng’s face. He was glad that the usual stingy and miserly Ling Yun would be so benevolent today!
“There’s not a lot to buy actually, you can take your time. I’ll cover 100% of the payment!” Ling Yun passed the list, as well as the seemingly insurmountable task, to Tang Meng.
With one hand on the steering wheel, Tang Meng gave the list a few short glances.
*Psssshhhhhhh*
He stepped onto the brake immediately, bringing the Ferrari to a sudden stop with great inertia.
“Brother, are you moving houses?!” Tang Meng asked, with an astonished look on his face.
