446 Ruan Yang, You“re Really Shameless
Li Zhongchi said, “Miss Ruan, the words you said without batting an eyelid were quite well-said.”
Li Shaobin was stunned. “When did Ruan Yang speak without batting an eyelid?”
There seemed to be a hint of snickering in everyone’s eyes and after a while, Li Shaobin understood what he meant and said angrily, “What’s the meaning of this? Do you all think that Ruan Yang is lying without batting an eyelid? None of you know how good I am; only Ruan Yang does.”
“Yes, only Miss Ruan knows,” Li Zhongchi agreed with an apparent smile.
Ruan Yang said, “Don’t keep calling me Miss Ruan—just call me Ruan Yang.”
“That’s right. We’re going to be family in the future,” Li Shaobin quickly added.
“That sounds like Shaobin has plans for your marriage already?” Ji Fangbai smiled slightly.
“That’s not important. We might even register tomorrow when we wake up if we’re in the mood.” Li Shaobin grinned and looked at Ruan Yang. “Don’t you agree?”
Ruan Yang only nodded with a smile.
...
When it was dinner time, the Li family’s round dining table was filled with a plethora of sumptuous dishes. Grandma Li said with a smile, “I didn’t know what you like to eat, Ruan Yang, so I got the kitchen to make some authentic Guangdong food. Have a try. I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”
Ruan Yang was overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and she quickly picked up a dish in front of her. She took one bite and nodded vigorously. “It tastes like the food I eat in Guangdong. It’s really good.”
It was actually a simple sentence but Grandma Li was overjoyed when she heard that. “Our family chef cooks the various forms of food in our country very well. Drop by to have a meal often in the future. You can come over even if you don’t feel like eating. This place will be your home sooner or later so you have to get used to it slowly.”
“... Sure.” Ruan Yang agreed hesitantly. She finally knew who Li Shaobin took after.
“Let’s eat. Food only tastes good when everyone eats together,” Grandma Li continued to say. “You can eat as a couple to spend time together occasionally but it’s difficult to make food for only two people every day since you might waste food if you cook too much, but if you cook too little, you might not be full.”
Ruan Yang understood what she meant. The elder was trying to hint at her to come back with Li Shaobin to eat at the Li household more often. It was probably because she missed her grandson. “Mm, yes, I agree too. When Shaobin comes over to my place to eat sometimes, we can’t finish the food and it has to be thrown away the next day.”
“Isn’t that so?” Grandma Li was very satisfied. It looked like Ruan Yang was as smart as she was.
After dinner, Ruan Yang watched TV with Grandma Li. The other adults didn’t like to watch drama serials for the elderly. On top of that, the new year gathering had resulted in the setting up of two mahjong tables again.
Shen Liu and the others invited Ruan Yang to play but she rejected them as she stayed by Grandma Li’s side to discuss the plot with her. She was pretty fond of studying drama serials maybe because she was an actress.
Seeing that Ruan Yang was accompanying Grandma Li, Li Xiaoxia didn’t play with Li Xiaohang. Instead, he tried to join their conversation. “Sister Ruan Yang, I think the female lead’s acting isn’t even a third of yours.”
“It’s actually not bad,” Ruan Yang said with a smile. “She seems to act in this kind of family ethics drama very often. She’s quite good.”
Li Xiaoxia nodded immediately. “After hearing what you said, that seems to be the case.”
Li Shaobin scoffed. “You don’t know anything at all. Stop trying to act like you do. Do you think I don’t know? You don’t usually watch these kinds of shows.”
Li Xiaoxia glared at him. Li Shaobin kept pitting himself against him. “I want to watch them but my mom doesn’t allow me. I rarely have time to watch TV with Grandma, so stop interrupting us all the time, Little Uncle.”
“Who’s the one interrupting?” Li Shaobin was furious. “Sister-in-law, keep your son under control. He thinks he can watch TV whenever he likes now that it’s the winter holidays. Look at his position in his winter holiday class. He’s going to make himself myopic.”
Li Xiaoxia was annoyed. He moved towards Ruan Yang pitifully and said, “Sister Ruan Yang, Little Uncle keeps bullying me. I rarely get a break.”
“Alright, kids these days have a tougher time in school than we did. Since it’s the holidays, just let him have fun, ” Ruan Yang said to Li Shaobin softly.
“Sister Ruan Yang, you’re so understanding,” Li Xiaoxia said coquettishly.
“You’re not allowed to call her sister. Call her auntie,” Li Shaobin corrected him. If Li Xiaoxia called him “Uncle”, how could he call her “Sister”?
Li Xiaoxia was stunned. He looked at Ruan Yang. “But Sister Ruan Yang looks very young. Wouldn’t calling her auntie sound too old?”
Ruan Yang rubbed her glabella and also glared at Li Shaobin. She also hated people calling her “Auntie”. Why must he be so meddlesome and make Li Xiaoxia change his manner of address?
Grandma Li said with a smile, “Calling her auntie does sound a little old, but that’s the way it is. She will be your Little Uncle’s wife in the future. Why don’t you just call her Aunt?”
Li Xiaoxia pouted. “Grandma, that’s not very appropriate. After all, they aren’t married yet. I should still call her Sister and when she gets married to Little Uncle, I’ll call her Aunt. Isn’t it better to make Sister Ruan Yang sound a little younger? Why must you care about how I address her?”
Ruan Yang quickly said, “Let’s just go along with Xiaoxia. I also want to remain a little younger.”
Grandma Li laughed heartily.
Li Shaobin was pulling a long face at the side.
At night, the Li family offered to let Ruan Yang stay over but she refused. It wasn’t very appropriate to sleep over at his house on the first day.
Li Shaobin didn’t force her either. Sleeping at home would affect his performance in that aspect. He hadn’t had sex with Ruan Yang for a very long time, so he wouldn’t let her sleep if he didn’t turn the world upside down tonight.
...
On the way back to Rong estate, Li Shaobin patted the back of her hand. ‘Don’t worry. I told you my family members are easy to get along with. The most important thing is that they listen to me.”
“I can tell.” Ruan Yang nodded. “But in the eyes of your family members, you’re probably hard to get along with.”
Li Shaobin pouted. “I was just a little disobedient when I was young.”
“You’re not very obedient now either, are you?” Ruan Yang glanced at him. “I agree with everything your family members said just now about not racing with others and not threatening others. You have to listen to me; otherwise, I won’t let you enter my house.”
“Alright. Why would I still race when I have a girlfriend? If I’m in a good mood, everyone is my brother. I won’t be that free to create trouble,” Li Shaobin said panderingly. “Ruan Yang, do you think I should buy some condoms tonight? I don’t think there’s any at Rong estate.”
“I don’t think you need to for the time being,” Ruan Yang said.
Li Shaobin was stunned and was thrilled. Could it be that Ruan Yang had decided to do it with him without any barriers? Wasn’t she afraid of getting pregnant?
“It’s pretty good to not use it too.” He nodded quickly. “If you get pregnant, we’ll get married. Of course, even if you’re not pregnant, we can still get married. Anyway, I’ll listen to you.”
“No, I’m on my period,” Ruan Yang said with a smile, as though she was laughing at his misfortune. “Do you want to go through a bloodbath with me?”
Li Shaobin felt deeply disappointed. It felt as though he had stood for a few hours in the cold winter. “Then why did you invite me to sleep in your room last night?”
“Because my mom knows I’m on my period so she could be certain nothing would happen between us,” Ruan Yang said while glancing at him.
Li Shaobin almost vomited blood. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I should’ve just slept with you last night.”
“You were the one who rejected it.” Ruan Yang waved her hand. “Pull over for a moment. I need to buy some pads. There aren’t any left at Rong estate. Wait for me in the car.”
Li Shaobin wasn’t very interested in those feminine products so he waited for more than 10 minutes outside before seeing Ruan Yang returning with a black plastic bag.
...
When they entered Ruan Yang’s apartment, Ruan Yang had just changed into her slippers when Li Shaobin suddenly hugged her tightly from the back. She was stunned for a while. He turned her around and kissed her passionately.
Li Shaobin kissed her as he carried her to the couch. The two of them hadn’t been together like this for a long time ever since she recovered her memory.
There was a very short period when he thought he would lose her.
Luckily, he managed to move her with his sincerity and she was also willing to meet his family.
“Yangyang, I feel like I’m dreaming.” Li Shaobin lowered his head as he watched the woman with slightly messy hair under the light. The bottom of her sweater was rolled up by quite a bit and revealed her fair skin. The corner of her lips was slightly swollen and her eyes were enshrouded with a hint of misty distance.
Her arms were still hanging softly around his neck and everything about her was so seductive. “Yangyang, no matter whether you really like me or not, I’ll make sure to make up for all the hurt that Xin Ziao has brought you. I will mend that wound in your heart.”
Ruan Yang reached out to hug his broad back quietly. “You’re already doing that and you’re doing a very good job. I haven’t been this happy during the New Year for many years. Please believe me. When you went to look for my family for my sake, I already decided to spend my life with you.”
Ruan Yang wasn’t in need of money. What she needed was love and someone to warm her cold heart. Li Shaobin had given her all this.
“I’ll make you equally happy every year from now on; it’s not just this year.” Li Shaobin kissed her cheek happily. “You said you want to spend your life with me but why didn’t you get Li Xiaoxia to call you ‘Aunt’ instead of ‘Sister’? It sounds as though it’s an uncle-niece relationship. Have you never thought about marrying me?”
“Uncle-niece relationship your head. You trying to let your thoughts run wild and shoot your mouth off again?” Ruan Yang pinched his face. He really had to be scolded every minute. “‘Aunt’ sounds so old. Xiaoxia knows a woman’s heart better than you. I just like being called ‘Sister’. I enjoy hearing it. There was once a student who called me ‘Auntie’ while I was walking on the streets and I felt like vomiting blood when I heard that.”
Li Shaobin’s face fell. “Ruan Yang, you’re really shameless.”
“I don’t need shame in front of you. What’s the point if I have to pretend when I’m with you?” Ruan Yang kissed his forehead.
