Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Star Era Guide (34)
Jing Lan was shocked into a cold sweat by this absurd thought.
He shifted his gaze, looking out at the apartment.
But soon, he couldn’t help but turn his gaze back to Chuzheng.
Jing Lan’s brows gradually furrowed, a faint restless emotion flashed in his deep blue eyes. He reached for a bottle of wine beside him and drank slowly.
Even though the wine was cold, at this moment, he felt it was burning.
–
When Chuzheng got up, it was already dark outside.
She was still lying on Jing Lan’s lap. Jing Lan leaned against the sofa, his eyes slightly closed, one hand casually resting on the sofa armrest, the other placed on her waist.
Chuzheng stared at him for a few seconds, then slowly sat up.
Jing Lan opened his eyes, his deep blue eyes clear: “Awake?”
Chuzheng propped herself up on the sofa: “Teacher.”
Jing Lan: “…”
Both were on the sofa, and their posture was indeed somewhat intimate and ambiguous.
Chuzheng calling him “teacher” made Jing Lan a bit dazed, his Adam’s apple unintentionally moving.
When Chuzheng leaned in to kiss him, Jing Lan did not avoid it, just kept his eyes open, meeting her gaze.
The skin beneath his clothes was slightly chilled, and Jing Lan snapped awake, retreating and pressing Chuzheng’s hand.
Chuzheng’s palm was against the skin of his waist, and Jing Lan pulled her hand out, held Chuzheng’s shoulder, and got up from the sofa: “I’ll heat up some food for you, you eat first.”
Chuzheng leaned back, hugging a pillow, gazing calmly at Jing Lan’s retreating figure.
My Good Person Card.
Why not allow kissing, or touching.
Not happy.
The pillow in Chuzheng’s arms slowly changed shape.
–
Wun Qing was looking everywhere for Chuzheng, finally figuring out her whereabouts. But… the one who opened the door for him was Jing Lan.
Wun Qing almost thought he had the wrong place.
He double-checked the door plate.
No mistake, this is it.
So the question arises…
Why is Jing Lan here!
“Mr. Jing, why are you here?”
“Where I live.” Jing Lan’s tone wasn’t good: “Who are you looking for?”
“…”
Alright, why is Jing Lan living with his sister!!
Wun Qing took a deep breath: “Is Chuzheng here? I’m looking for her…”
Jing Lan initially wanted to say she wasn’t, but then swallowed his words, glanced at Wun Qing, and said something suggestive: “She’s sleeping.”
The Wun Family people, they spoke with Chuzheng last time, he remembered.
Now they’d come here…
Wun Qing: “…”
The amount of information is a bit overwhelming.
I need a moment.
He hoped Grandma wouldn’t be too angry upon learning of this.
“May I come in?” Wun Qing politely asked.
Jing Lan didn’t like people entering his personal space, especially someone whose relationship with Chuzheng was unclear.
He hesitated for a while, then let Wun Qing in.
“Welcome, esteemed guest.”
The robot had returned to normal, greeting from the side.
Jing Lan irritatedly kicked the robot, what’s with the welcoming.
The robot immediately shut its mouth and slid away.
Wun Qing: “…”
Jing Lan had no intention of engaging Wun Qing, nor did he offer any hospitality, not even pouring a cup of water, sitting in the corner drinking wine on his own.
“Mr. Jing, why is Chuzheng living here with you?”
Jing Lan’s tone was not good: “Is it any of your business?”
“…”
Not now, but maybe very soon.
The two sat in silence, neither speaking, the atmosphere frozen awkwardly.
Just as Wun Qing was about to leave, the room door opened, and Chuzheng came out from inside.
Wun Qing came looking to talk to Chuzheng about her origins.
“Let’s talk outside.”
Wun Qing also felt uncomfortable staying there, as Chuzheng suggested, he agreed readily.
Wun Qing first showed Chuzheng the genetic testing results, then told her what had happened before.
Chuzheng showed no surprise, which convinced Wun Qing that she knew everything.
“Where is Xie Wanwan now?”
“Currently held at the Department of Justice, identity chip theft is a serious crime, awaiting the audit result.”
Chuzheng nodded slightly.
Wun Qing carefully chose his words: “Chuzheng, I know you may not want to return to the Wun Family, but I hope you can give us a chance, Grandma really wants to see you.”
After speaking, Wun Qing secretly broke out in cold sweat.
If it hadn’t been for him blocking her today, Old Madam Wun would have come herself.
Wun Qing was also relieved Old Madam Wun hadn’t come along.
If she saw…
Chuzheng did not answer immediately.
The Wun Family were originally the protagonist’s family, in the plot, they were tricked by Xie Wanwan, thinking they were pampering Xie Wanwan, but it was actually their granddaughter.
“I will be with Jing Lan.” Chuzheng leisurely spoke.
Wun Qing was stunned, probably not expecting Chuzheng to be so straightforward.
The underlying message was, if you want her to return, you must agree to her being with Jing Lan.
Jing Lan…
Jing Lan is trouble.
Chuzheng knew Wun Qing alone couldn’t make the decision: “You can go back and discuss it, no need to force yourself.”
–
Wun Qing took Chuzheng’s words back to the Wun Family.
Old Madam Wun didn’t even consider it: “What’s there to discuss, agree! Agree! Bring her back quickly.”
Old Madam Wun regretted immensely, if it hadn’t been for her opposing the youngest son back then, how could her granddaughter end up neglected outside.
Some people become more stubborn as they age, refusing to reflect on their own mistakes.
But Old Madam Wun is one who will reflect, she had already lost a son and didn’t want to lose her granddaughter too.
“Mom, this Jing Lan…”
Old Madam Wun: “What? We Wun Family fear we can’t afford to keep them? He doesn’t need to do anything in the future, just treat my granddaughter well, as long as my granddaughter is happy!”
“…”
Father Wun and Wun Qing exchanged a glance.
Old Madam Wun grew more childlike as she aged.
But that statement was true.
The Wun Family can afford them.
–
Chuzheng returned to the apartment, Jing Lan was standing like a doorman at the entrance.
As soon as Chuzheng opened the door, she almost bumped into him.
“Why don’t you turn on the lights, what are you doing standing here?” she exclaimed.
Chuzheng reached to switch on the light, but Jing Lan abruptly stopped her, pinning her against the door.
His head was bowed, his fringe brushed past Chuzheng’s cheek, his breath fell on her neck: “What’s your relationship with Wun Qing?”
“He’s my biological brother.”
“???”
Jing Lan frowned, in the darkness he could barely see the outline of the girl: “I thought your surname was Chu?”
Jing Lan wasn’t aware of this matter, thus didn’t understand the relationship between Chuzheng and the Wun Family.
“Yes.” Chuzheng leisurely raised her hand, hooking it around Jing Lan’s neck: “Who said I can’t have another surname.”
After all, my surnames are countless!
The weight on his neck made Jing Lan realize their posture was too intimate.
An intimacy that allowed them to feel each other’s breath.
Jing Lan released Chuzheng hurriedly, backing: “Even if he’s your brother, you shouldn’t return so late. Remember to eat something, I’m going to sleep.”
Chuzheng’s hand fell empty.
She glanced at the time, puzzled.
Nine o’clock sharp.
How is that late?
Am I and my Good Person Card from the same world?
Also, the Good Person Card actually goes to bed at nine, what a joke?
