After Marrying Bigshot Vegetable Boss - Chapter 2
Liang Zhiyu was thrown into disarray by Yu Lan’s series of moves.
She had sensed something was amiss just now, and it turned out he had been brewing trouble here!
What Liang Zhiyu found even more unacceptable was that now everyone was looking at her with disdain and scrutiny.
She couldn’t care less about her dignity at the moment and angrily attempted to expose him, “What are you talking about here? If it weren’t for us bringing you back, you wouldn’t even know where you are!”
Yu Lan wiped away a nearly non-existent tear from the corner of his eye and spoke cautiously, “I understand. I am your child. You told my brother that this is suffering, but I really like Mr. Chu, so don’t worry, I have never felt this way!”
Liang Zhiyu’s face turned red, “What are you talking about? I understand that you’re not in a good mood today—”
“Understand?” Suddenly, Xi Yun interrupted.
“So Madam really thinks that your child coming to our Chu family is suffering?”
The situation suddenly quieted down, and Liang Zhiyu realized that she had inadvertently followed Yu Lan’s words into a trap.
She broke out in a cold sweat, hastily trying to smooth things over with a forced smile, “No, Madam Xi, he usually likes to talk nonsense at home. It’s not what you think at all!”
But it seemed that Xi Yun wasn’t buying into her explanation; her expression didn’t show any obvious change.
Xi Yun turned to Yu Lan.
He still seemed quite afraid of Liang Zhiyu’s anger, standing cautiously with lowered hands.
His slightly curled hair had grown a bit, his fair skin carried a hint of delicacy, and his lips were moist and crimson. Paired with his black-as-ink, clear eyes, he gave off an impression of fragile beauty.
He spoke with a very soft voice, and his movements were minimal, showing that he still lived in fear after returning to the Yu Lan family.
A pitiful child, completely different from the rumors, Xi Yun thought.
Yu Lan seemed to sense the gaze directed at him and looked over cautiously.
His lips trembled slightly, and he spoke in a low voice, “Auntie, please don’t be angry because of me.”
“Also, I, I…” Yu Lan paused, seeming embarrassed, “I met Mr. Chu many years ago. Now that I have the chance to take care of him, I couldn’t be happier.”
When he reached this point, he blushed a little, as if reluctant to speak, lowering his head.
Xi Yun’s heart softened considerably when she mentioned Mr. Chu. She spoke gently, “Originally, it was our Chu family asking for your help. In the future, you can make any requests you have.”
Liang Zhiyu hadn’t expected things to take this turn.
Could Yu Lan really gain favor from the Chu family?
He had been acting strange before. Today, he might be going crazy because he was going to marry the comatose patient…
Liang Zhiyu gritted her teeth, deceiving herself with such thoughts.
And on the side, when Yu Lan heard Xi Yun say this, he blinked with a mix of anticipation and shyness, “Then… I’d like to go see Mr. Chu.”
Xi Yun looked around, probably guessing that Yu Lan didn’t want to stay here any longer. She nodded and said, “Originally, I wanted to keep it simple. Let’s conclude today’s ceremony here.”
She glanced at Liang Zhiyu, who was furious and anxious, and dared not argue, afraid that Yu Lan would continue to lose control. Xi Yun’s tone was light, “Since Madam feels that coming to our Chu family is suffering, then we won’t insist. You can go about your business.”
Yu Lan nodded like a well-behaved child, “Mom, I will miss you and my brother often.”
Liang Zhiyu almost ran out of breath in one breath.
But in the end, she dared not cause trouble again. She consoled herself that no matter how Yu Lan turned out, he still had the surname Yu. Besides, if there were any benefits in the future due to the marriage alliance, her family wouldn’t be left out.
Alright, she had to quickly go home and inform Xiao Ling.
With a forced smile, she left first.

After this dramatic wedding celebration, Yu Lan followed behind Xi Yun, step by step ascending to the third floor of the villa.
Xi Yun had initially planned to treat the guests from the Yu family well, and after what had just happened, it strengthened her resolve.
As she escorted him upstairs, she introduced, “Little Yu, we’ve arranged your room next to Mr. Chu. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we can change it later.”
Yu Lan looked up in surprise, “Thank you…”
Xi Yun guessed the issue with the address and said in time, “It’s okay; just keep calling me Auntie.”
Xi Yun thought for a moment and continued, “I know that this matter is troublesome for you, both emotionally and logically. As Mr. Chu’s mother, I’m really grateful to you.
“You can consider it as doing us a favor. In the future, feel free to make any requests. Auntie will take care of you like another child, so don’t feel too pressured.”
She sighed, “After all, I didn’t expect that you were also from the Yu family.”
Yu Lan expressed his gratitude in a soft and delicate manner, “Auntie, I feel really lucky.”
“Believe it or not, I once saw Mr. Chu in a news report and thought he was quite dazzling…” He paused, “So, if my presence can bring a little hope to Mr. Chu, it’s already an honor for me.”
Yu Lan echoed in his heart; of course, since Mr. Chu would really wake up in three months.
His thoughts were simple. Since he couldn’t escape and Mr. Chu was now in a vegetative state, it was better to brush up on good impressions, build relationships, and make these three months a bit more bearable.
This way, even when Mr. Chu woke up, he shouldn’t lock him up in a mental hospital again… right?
As they chatted, they arrived at Mr. Chu’s room.
Xi Yun opened the door, and a dry but still relatively fresh scent greeted them.
“I won’t go in now,” she said, realizing it was their wedding night. She stood at the doorway, “If you need anything, just call us.”
Yu Lan nodded gratefully, “Thank you, Auntie!”
His sparkling eyes looked over, and his voice was clear.
Making Xi Yun feel that what he said was not wrong, coming to the Chu family was indeed much better than staying in the original place.

“A click—”
The door closed.
Pressing against the door, Yu Lan took a moment to relax, exhaling a breath. He wiped away the fake tears on his face, rubbed the corners of his mouth, and felt relieved.
Fortunately, he suggested coming up to take a look; otherwise, pretending for another hour would have been exhausting.
Stretching his arms, Yu Lan lazily yawned.
The recent commotion had drained his energy, and now that he had relaxed, he felt tired and hungry.
However, he had suggested coming here himself, so he had to stay for a while.
The room was spacious and luxurious, evidently cleaned by professionals daily. There was no unpleasant smell of disinfectant, and in the quiet, the only sound was the rhythmic beeping of the cardiac monitor.
Turning around a wall, a high-end special care bed was placed in the center of the bedroom.
Yu Lan walked over and saw the supposed cold-blooded, violent, capricious big villain from the novel lying there. His breathing rhythm was steady and calm, as if he were just asleep.
Perhaps due to being in a coma for too long, many of the negative stereotypes about him from the novel seemed to have diminished.
The features were impeccable, with smooth and perfect lines from the forehead to the jaw. If his eyes were open, they should be handsome and profound.
Half of the moonlight seeped through the curtains, casting a strand of light on him.
As a card-carrying member of the Standard Appearance Association, Yu Lan carefully observed for quite some time, nodding repeatedly in his mind.
The Chu family had reasons not to give up on him.
However, appreciating aside, Yu Lan stared at Chu Yuan’s face, not forgetting the plot three months later as mentioned in the book.
Since he had come, he had to consider the way forward.
Yu Lan alternated between observing and thinking. Meanwhile, Chu Yuan remained peacefully asleep, not even the slightest movement in his eyelashes.
No matter how much he appreciated, Yu Lan couldn’t forget the storyline set three months later.
Since he was here, he had to think about the future.
Yu Lan continued to observe and ponder, and Chu Yuan continued to sleep, his face unchanging.
It hadn’t even been a day since he arrived, and he had just gone crazy at the wedding. It would probably take some time to maintain this small fresh tea image.
Well, at least the first step wasn’t too bad.
Leaning on his chin and watching the person in the bed, Yu Lan soliloquized with a wry smile, “Why does he look so much like Sleeping Beauty…”
“Too bad, I’m not a prince.”
Still have to wait for three months.
He spaced out for a moment, feeling hungry, but not wanting to call Xi Yun just yet. Instead, he decided to pick and choose from the fruit tray on the nearby table, selecting the most attractive apple.
After being in the room for just ten minutes, Yu Lan had already started to feel quite at home. His legs were getting tired from standing, so he casually grabbed a chair, propped his legs up, and sat down in a relaxed and carefree manner.
The more casual the sitting posture, the more comfortable it felt, he thought with narrowed eyes.
Yu Lan, sitting in an unconventional manner, found the chair’s back uncomfortable and decided to pull it next to Chu Yuan’s bed. He leaned against it, allowing half of his body to rest on the bed, and began leisurely nibbling on the apple.
The apple was crisp and sweet, and he grew more comfortable the closer he leaned. He swayed his legs back and forth in a relaxed manner.
However…
Just as he was halfway through the apple, he suddenly heard another sound in the room.
A sigh, very light.
Yu Lan stopped chewing—there was no one else in the room, right?
Moreover, he had entered a contemporary urban novel; there were no supernatural elements.
Yu Lan scanned the room, confirming that the only movement at the moment was the slight rustling of the curtains stirred by the wind, nothing else.
He’s scaring himself.
Yu Lan thought so and continued nibbling on the apple.
However, after a few seconds, the sigh seemed to change, turning into a not too heavy cough.
But Yu Lan had already confirmed that there was no one else in the room, so he still didn’t take it seriously. He casually leaned back.
It’s probably just that the sound insulation in this villa isn’t very good.
Unexpectedly, just a few seconds later, a strange male voice sounded in the room.
“You’re pressing on my leg.”
Yu Lan had just wrinkled his brows in annoyance, thinking he might be hearing things, when he weirdly lifted his head—
The person lying on the bed, Chu Yuan, remained peacefully with closed eyes. However, in the middle of the bedroom’s empty space, another handsome man with the same features had opened his eyes. He stood not far away, gazing at him calmly.
Yu Lan’s hair stood on end, and he almost choked on the apple: ????!!!
