Chapter 445 Look At How Third Brother Is Being So Protective Of Miss Ruan
Early the next morning, Li Shaobin got ready to go to the airport the moment he got up. When He Mingshan saw that, she said helplessly, “Don’t you find it tiring to travel to and fro? Why don’t you just rest at home for a couple of days before you go over?”
“I’m doing it so I can bring Ruan Yang home earlier for you to see.” Li Shaobin straightened his shirt with a grin and went to the airport in high spirits.
He Mingshan turned around and sighed as she said to Li Congyang, “Your son is a weirdo. He either doesn’t get into relationships or he becomes a completely different person when he does.”
“Even if he’s a weirdo, you’re the one who gave birth to him,” Li Congyang mocked her casually.
—————————-
Li Shaobin initially estimated he would reach Ruan Yang’s old residence at 3 pm, but there was a jam on the way so he only arrived in the evening.
The moment he entered the house that night, Ruan Po and his wife saw him looking travel-worn and Zhang Shulin said tenderly, “You only went back a few days ago yet you’re back again today. Why didn’t you rest at home for a few more days? It’d be alright if you visited us a few days later.”
“Auntie, you said the same thing as my mom,” Li Shaobin said with a smile.
“That means your mom cares a lot about you too,” Zhang Shulin said with a smile.
“I just wanted to pay you and Uncle a new year visit earlier,” Li Shaobin said with a grin.
Although Ruan Po was pulling a face, the smile in his eyes could still be seen.
“You’re such a sweet talker.” Zhang Shulin was also smiling more happily than before. “But I think your main motive was still to see Ruan Yang, right?”
“I wanted to see all of you.” Li Shaobin glanced at Ruan Yang lovingly.
Ruan Yang dissed him secretly. This man had once again refreshed her understanding of him. He was such a good bootlicker. To think that she was worried he would be too honest in the past.
...
After dinner, Ruan Po drove them to Ruan Yang’s aunt’s place. The moment Ruan Yang’s aunt saw Li Shaobin, she said, “Aiyo, this young fellow is tall and handsome. What a fine man.”
Li Shaobin’s glib tongue made every person in Ruan Yang’s aunt’s family happy and he had a couple of drinks with Uncle (1. Uncle here refers to Ruan Yang’s aunt’s husband) before he was brought home tipsy.
Ruan Yang helped him into the guest room and Li Shaobin held her tightly, giving her a passionate kiss.
Ruan Yang got a shock. When she heard Zhang Shulin’s footsteps approaching, she pushed him away with all her might and she sat up as she straightened her clothes.
When Zhang Shulin got to the door and saw what happened in the room, she said, “Shaobin, your towel is still in its original position. If you want to take a shower, go ahead. We’re going to sleep first.”
“Mm, alright. Thank you, Auntie.” Li Shaobin waved.
When the door to the master bedroom was closed, Li Shaobin reached out to hug Ruan Yang again as he kissed her again and again at the nape of her neck, like a chick pecking on rice grains, making her body soften.
But they were in her house, after all, and the door wasn’t even closed. Ruan Yang felt awkward and her face was also heating up. She said in a soft and helpless tone, “Do you want to just sleep in my room tonight?”
Li Shaobin froze. He was in complete disbelief that those words came out of Ruan Yang’s mouth.
What did that mean? It meant Ruan Yang also wanted to sleep with him. She must’ve missed him a lot but she wasn’t as honest with her words.
He almost agreed readily but his head was stuck and he didn’t nod. “That... I think we should just forget it. I think Uncle and Auntie are quite conservative. If I were to sleep in your room, they might feel that I’m too lecherous. That wouldn’t be too good.”
Ruan Yang didn’t think he would refuse and was pretty shocked. Was there ever a time when he wasn’t lecherous?
“It’s okay. When we return to Northern City the day after tomorrow, I can sleep in your room anytime. I can even sleep with you every day.” Li Xiaoxia grinned and hugged her soft and fragrant body. “Oh, right, Yangyang—why did you also send a red pocket to Li Xiaoxia? Did you also send him a 520-dollar one?”
“Er...” Ruan Yang said. “Isn’t he your nephew? I just sent him one casually.”
Li Shaobin was angry. “He’s my nephew. I’m your boyfriend. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to send the same thing to him? Aren’t you afraid that Li Xiaoxia would misunderstand?”
“That wouldn’t happen. He’s just a middle school kid.” Ruan Yang really felt he was thinking too much. If he was even jealous of his own nephew, wouldn’t he die of jealousy in the future?
“I don’t care. You’re not allowed to do that anymore. You can just send him 250 dollars,” Li Shaobin said.
Ruan Yang was speechless. “Are you sure your brother and sister-in-law won’t beat me to death?”
“They won’t. You’re the apple of my eye.” Li Shaobin hugged and kissed her for a while more before letting her go.
Seeing how well he could control himself really made Ruan Yang see him in a different light.
This fellow. She really must’ve belittled him.
...
The next day, Li Shaobin went with Ruan Yang to her grandparent’s place and on the third day, they took a plane back to Northern City together.
It was already the peak period of the Spring migration (1. The largest human migration in China is during the Spring Festival) and there were people at the airport everywhere.
Although Li Shaobin was there to take care of her, when she arrived in Northern City, Ruan Yang was already exhausted. While she was touching up her makeup in the car, Li Shaobin, who was sitting beside her, said as he glanced at her, “Ruan Yang, you don’t need makeup. You look very good no matter what.”
“I know that without you saying,” Ruan Yang replied as she looked in the mirror while drawing her eyebrows.
Hu Zhi was sitting in front and when he heard that, the corners of his lips twitched. These two were so confident that their future children would certainly be very shameless.
As the car drove into the Li family villa, Ruan Yang felt increasing uptight and her smile grew smaller. She recalled the time when Wang Yuting came over personally to see her when she was with Xin Ziao, telling her that the Xin family would never accept someone like her and that she wasn’t fit for her son.
She didn’t blow her top, and even after that interaction with Wang Yuting, she didn’t reveal any hint of self-inferiority or fear. Only she knew what a severe blow that was to her ego.
“Ruan Yang, don’t let your thoughts run wild.” Li Shaobin held her hand.
“Mm,” Ruan Yang replied and looked down.
As she got out of the car with him, she saw a row of people standing outside of the villa. Ruan Yang had walked on multiple red carpets before and was already used to the attention of others, but this kind of attention was completely different.
Besides, Li Shaobin’s family weren’t ordinary people.
“Do you think it’s appropriate for all of you to stand out here, watching us like we’re animals?” Li Shaobin scolded them impolitely and stood in front of Ruan Yang silently.
“You’ve finally gotten yourself a girlfriend. We have to take a good look,” Ji Fangbai said with her son in her arms. “Xiaohang, do you think Little Uncle’s girlfriend is pretty?”
“Yes, prettier than mom,” Li Xiaohang said.
“Rascal. You even said Mom is the prettiest when I gave you your red pocket two days ago,” Ji Fangbai chided him.
Shen Liu laughed out loud. “When I gave him his red pocket, he even said I was the prettiest in the entire world.”
Li Xiaohang quickly covered his mouth. After a while, he said sweetly, “Mom is the world’s prettiest Mom. Aunt is the world’s prettiest Aunt.”
“Glib tongue,” Ji Fangbai scolded.
Now that their attention was diverted, Ruan Yang wasn’t as nervous.
Li Shaobin introduced everyone to her one by one and when it came to Grandma Li, Grandma Li nodded as she acknowledged Ruan Yang.
Li Zhongchi said with a smile, “Grandma, why are you nodding?”
Grandpa Li said lazily, “Your grandma must be glad that Binbin didn’t end up with a guy.”
Li Shaobin blushed and glared at them before he told Ruan Yang, “Don’t listen to them. I’m very faithful when it comes to relationships. I’m either not in a relationship or am in one forever.”
Ruan Yang smiled lightly. Li Shaobin pulled her along as he walked into the house without a care. “Let’s not stay outside. It’s too cold.”
“Look at how Third Brother is being so protective of Miss Ruan.” Shen Liu found it funny.
He Mingshan also consoled herself to not overthink things. It was great that her son could find a woman. At least a woman could still give birth. If it was a man, there would be no hope at all.
Thinking that way put He Mingshan at ease.
When everyone had settled down, He Mingshan said with a smile, “It must’ve been fate for the amnesia to bring the two of you together. When I was watching TV at home and heard that Shaobin had gotten into a car accident with a woman in the car, I was shocked. I even thought that there was something going on between the two of you. To think that you two really got together after this turn of events.”
Li Congyang took the chance to say: “Ruan Yang, you have to keep a good eye on him and make sure he doesn’t drive so quickly. I don’t even dare to sit in his car. One time he drove at 100km/h on a crowded road. Luckily, my heart is well; otherwise, I would’ve gotten a heart attack from the fright. Also, tell him to not join those racing competitions. It’s not safe.”
Li Zhongchi nodded and added, “Also, persuade him to stop causing trouble and fight people outside all the time. My friends always look for me every other day to get me to make Shaobin stop.”
He Mingshan also took the chance to say: “Also, make sure that he doesn’t keep eating and drinking outside. The food outside isn’t clean. Tell him to come home often. Now that he has a girlfriend, I don’t even see him at home for days. Even when he doesn’t have a girlfriend, I don’t see him around either. I don’t know what he’s up to outside all day long. He always goes around threatening people for no reason...”
Ruan Yang felt her scalp going numb as she listened on. Li Shaobin interrupted them. “Dad, Mom, don’t overdo it. You make it sound like I’m full of problems.”
“You’re not full of problems. You’re just uncontrollable,” Grandpa Li said. “We’ve always counted on you to find a wife who can keep you under control.”
“I’m not full of problems. Ruan Yang, isn’t that right?” Li Shaobin looked at Ruan Yang pleadingly and everyone’s eyes almost popped out.
“Yes, I think you’re pretty good in every aspect,” Ruan Yang agreed and nodded.
When He Mingshan heard that, she had very mixed feelings. Although she was the one who gave birth to this son and treated him like a treasure, even she didn’t think he was good in every way.
