After Marrying Bigshot Vegetable Boss - Chapter 10
Chu Wang was awakened by a burst of crying.
Originally, after Yu Lan pushed him downstairs, due to the separation of his soul and body, he initially felt as if his entire soul had been torn apart, making even walking feel weak.
He heard some commotion downstairs, but because of the distance and the fading of his normally keen senses due to the separation, he could only vaguely hear that guests had arrived, but didn’t know what had happened.
—After a while, his soul became increasingly transparent, presumably because Yu Lan was pushing him away from the villa.
Chu Wang waited for the arrival of unconsciousness as usual.
But it seemed like not much time had passed when he suddenly heard crying in the chaos?
Moreover, this voice was very familiar.
He opened his eyes and found himself still floating in mid-air, but around him was no longer his bedroom where he had been trapped for a year, but his family’s garden.
Had he come out?
Chu Wang was still analyzing the situation when a burst of aggrieved but loud crying came from below him.
He lowered his head and saw his body still in the wheelchair, with Yu Lan hugging him tightly.
…?
Chu Wang was startled at first, forgetting instantly why he was here.
How come… he was crying?
He looked at the person almost completely embracing him, the thin sweater on their back soaked with water stains, even the little curls at the ends of their hair were damp, hanging limply.
The person’s shoulders were narrow, even buried on Chu Wang’s body after being sick, they still seemed frail.
Chu Wang furrowed his brow, forgetting for a moment whether Yu Lan could see him, wanting to bend down to see what was going on.
But the next moment, Yu Lan, lying on top of him, lifted his head, his eye sockets were indeed red, but there were hardly any tears in his eyes, and the water marks on his face didn’t seem to come from tears.
As if a bell rang in his mind, Chu Wang faintly had a premonition.
Sure enough, he saw Yu Lan supporting his wheelchair, suddenly turning to point at someone: “Brother! How could you do this?”
Yu Lan seemed unable to see Chu Wang at the moment, accusing with tears in his eyes, “Brother, I’m already married to Mr. Chu. He’s just a motionless vegetable! Why would you use him as a punching bag!”
Chu Wang: …
Although he didn’t know what had happened before he regained consciousness, judging from his understanding of Yu Lan, it was probably…
Chu Wang followed Yu Lan’s gaze and saw someone a few steps away.
Although his features were somewhat ordinary, he was wearing a custom-made casual suit, seemingly casual but actually meticulous from head to toe, obviously someone who had been pampered as a rich young master from a young age.
And Yu Lan called him “brother,” his identity was also obvious, he was Yu Ling, the fake young master who had been cherished by the Yu family for many years.
Yu Lan still had a tearful voice, sniffing as he said, “If you want to vent your anger on me, fine, but why involve my husband!”
Chu Wang was originally still pondering what had happened this time, but when he heard the three words from Yu Lan’s mouth, he paused.
Of course, he knew that Yu Lan was playing tricks again, knowing that this could quickly gain support from others, knowing that the crying just now was staged, but still…
As a handsome soul, Chu Wang calmly tilted his head back and thought, it’s just a child’s nonsense, nothing serious.
But a second later, he glanced down at Yu Lan again, looking at the damp strand of hair drooping down because of the water, thinking, it wouldn’t hurt to teach this impostor a lesson.
Not very deserving of sympathy.
–
Yu Lan’s crying attracted quite a few people, and as the other protagonist, Yu Ling was completely stunned in place.
This was too outrageous, too low-level!
Yu Ling originally thought that he had some understanding of green tea behavior.
When to do what, when to say what.
Timing was crucial.
To be a green tea, one must strive to appear decent yet innocent, evoking pity.
—Not directly pouring water onto oneself like this!
This was too rough!!
Yu Ling’s face reddened as he looked at the disgusted looks of the servants and gardeners who had gathered, immediately trying to defend himself: “How could it be me?!”
But by this time, Yu Lan was already tearfully interjecting, “But brother, was it me who walked over there, turned on the faucet, and poured water on myself?”
Ah?!
Wasn’t it?!?!
You’re even narrating the whole process, huh?!!
Yu Ling’s head started to spin, and then he heard the people around him starting to chime in together—
“It couldn’t have been little Yu, right?”
“Of course not!”
“I just knew you weren’t a good brother, but I didn’t expect you to even want to harm Mr. Chu!”
“Hey, look, little Yu’s entire back is soaked, all to shield Mr. Chu…”
“Mr. Yu, please wait, I’ll go get you a towel right away!”
Yu Ling stood there, anxiously speaking out, “Of course it wasn’t me, how could I dare to harm Mr. Chu? It was clearly…” He became somewhat incoherent.
Someone quickly brought a towel, saying, “Mr. Yu, please go back and change your clothes, don’t catch a cold.”
As they spoke, they glared at Yu Ling beside them.
“Consider this a warning, if anything happens to Mr. Chu because of you, don’t expect any mercy!”
“Hurry, take Mr. Chu back and call a doctor to check on him…”
Yu Lan nodded, wiping away his nonexistent tears, “Okay, let’s go back first.”
Then he sighed mournfully a couple of times, “Brother, forget it, I know you were just momentarily confused, of course I’ll forgive you.”
Where had Yu Ling ever experienced such injustice?
But now, no matter what he said, these people wouldn’t believe him.
As he was thinking this, he saw Yu Lan looking over gently.
The expression on the other’s face was lazy, and when he looked at Yu Ling, he even arrogantly raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, and formed a word with his lips—
Dead, green, tea.
Then he shrugged his shoulders, indicating, “Why haven’t you paid up yet?”
Yu Ling was about to explode with anger again, but Yu Lan stopped at that point, immediately lowering his head to look at Chu Wang.
——It seemed like he wouldn’t be getting any money from Yu Ling today.
Yu Lan felt somewhat regretful, thinking he was a bit too impulsive. If he had known, he would have waited a bit longer before causing a scene.
He had to get the money first, after all. Once Yu Ling saw that he was doing well, he wouldn’t be so willing to part with his money.
Seriously.
Who knows how much money they have in their accounts!
So Yu Lan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and in the end, he didn’t even look at Yu Ling again, pushing Chu Wang and walking away directly.
As a nonexistent third party, Chu Wang probably deduced what had happened from the conversation of the others.
Based on Yu Ling’s words, he imagined the scene, and just the thought of Yu Lan suddenly going over, turning on the faucet used for watering the flowers, pouring it onto his own back, and then skillfully framing someone else…
Chu Wang pursed his lips, his face showing no other expression.
–
Yu Lan pushed Chu Wang back, and Chu Wang’s soul also detached from the farce just now, contemplating the current situation.
He knew Yu Lan still couldn’t see him, but he had suddenly emerged from the state of being locked in the room.
The first thing he saw upon emerging was Yu Lan lying on top of him.
According to Yu Lan’s previous explanation of how to turn on and off,Â
So his soul wasn’t completely confined there; if Yu Lan touched him in the bedroom, he could talk to Yu Lan; and outdoors, if he had enough contact with him, he could also appear where his body was.
As for how long and how extensive the contact had to be to make Yu Lan see him outdoors, that would have to be tested to find out.
Chu Wang followed Yu Lan into the house, thinking.
But Yu Lan was completely unaware of all this, still contemplating whether to tell Chu Wang about today’s events.
He pushed Chu Wang back to the room, but when he went to change clothes, he remembered that the original owner had been abandoned by the Yu family and had brought almost nothing when coming here.
He opened the wardrobe and found only Chu Wang’s clothes inside.
Yu Lan closed the wardrobe again, deciding to move Chu Wang back to his bed before saying anything.
Chu Wang’s soul had been waiting on the side for a long time.
He had already gotten used to being locked in the room all day, unable to be seen by anyone, but now it felt like he was back to when the incident first occurred.
He felt a little uneasy, a little expectant.
Uneasy because he didn’t know how long this state would last, expectant because he felt like there might be a change in the next moment.
Maybe it’s because he hasn’t spoken to anyone in a long time, he thought.
Yu Lan helped Chu Wang back to his bed, skillfully set up the monitoring device and ventilator, and as he lifted his head, he once again saw the other’s face.
“Mr. Chu, have you been waiting long?” Yu Lan asked with a smile.
Chu Wang didn’t know what expression he was wearing now, so he just pretended to have been “awakened” just now and replied briefly, “Hmm.”
He looked at Yu Lan, still wearing that half-soaked sweater, and coughed, “Why is your clothes wet?”
Yu Lan didn’t expect Chu Wang to notice this so quickly, “I…”
In Yu Lan’s plan, he had already thought about it. If Chu Wang asked about this, he would pretend to be a tough and resilient little flower.
It would be best to initially brush it off as nothing, and then when Chu Wang asked again, he would pretend to slip up and accidentally reveal that Yu Ling had come over today and even splashed water on him.
He had thought it all through, the logical chain was perfect, there were no loopholes in the persona, and it could even win some favor from Chu Wang!
However, for some reason, as soon as he heard Chu Wang’s question, he suddenly felt like he didn’t need to be so strict about it—
He pursed his lips, looked up at Chu Wang, and opened his mouth as if to complain, “Mr. Chu, it was my brother who did it!”
He omitted the whole string of previous events he had thought of, and Yu Lan rattled off like a machine gun, “He came over to see me, pretending to want to see a joke of mine, but when I resisted him, he became furious and wanted to splash water on me!”
“Oh, and it almost splashed onto you too!” Yu Lan remembered halfway through his complaint and didn’t forget to make up for it.
Chu Wang asked, “Your brother?”
“Yeah!” Yu Lan said, half-truthfully, “He said he came to see me, but he actually couldn’t stand to see me doing well…”
Although Yu Ling really had no reason to make him angry, Yu Lan still pouted and started spreading rumors, “He’s so mean! He even scolded me!”
“Is that so?” Chu Wang patiently waited for him to finish and then met Yu Lan’s clear and innocent eyes.
Maybe he put on a bit of cunning, a bit of harmless mischief.
Yu Lan didn’t hesitate to nod, “Yes!”
So Chu Wang briefly forgot what he was about to say and just looked at the little liar in front of him, going along with his words, and said in a softer voice, “That’s really… too much.”
