Chapter 132: The God of War Wishes of Innocent Love.
In between the sounds of the quarrelling duo.
Click.
The sound of someone opening and closing the door.
Su Lang had returned.
“What are you two talking about?”
When Su Lang saw the flushed faces of the family, who seemed to all be arguing with each other, he couldn’t help but curiously ask.
“N-nothing.” Yang Jingwan seemed a little evasive.
“Oh, it turns out the big man of our family has come back.” Li Manli sneered in a ridiculing way:
“Humph! Didn’t you say earlier that you could invite Ma Hongsheng over? Where is he now, huh? Where is he? Why can’t I see even a single hair of his?!”
Hearing the sudden outburst, a hint of gloominess appeared on Su Lang’s features as he replied:
“I went to the hospital to visit. However, Ma Hongsheng hasn’t woken up yet, so there’s no way to call him over for the time being.”
[Ding! The Host prevented the protagonist, Su Lang, from acting pretentious in front of the heroine, Yang Jingwan!
Obtained 300 Villain Points Su Lang’s Protagonist Halo -15 Host’s Villain Halo +15]“Excuses and excuses! You really can tell a lie!” Li Manli scoffed in disdain.
“Mom, I’ll go there again tomorrow. I will definitely help with Dad’s project.”
“Tch. Are you still dreaming? Just hurry up and cook, we are all hungry!”
Li Manli merely waved her hand and dismissed the God of War.
But seeing Li Manli’s expression, Su Lang did not bother to argue further and instead walked straight into the kitchen to cook.
It didn’t matter anyways. As soon as Ma Hongsheng woke up, he would have several connections to choose from and would be able to take over that project easily, putting the facts down in front of Li Manli for all to see.
By then, this witch of a woman will naturally shut her mouth.
Thus, Su Lang went to the kitchen to cook without saying a word, still thinking about comeuppance.
“Jingwan, can you see clearly now? This Su Lang is not only a waste but also loves to blow his own trumpet like an idiot,” Li Manli whispered to her daughter in a low voice, “You should start thinking about your way out in the future.”
“If your Dad’s engineering team is unable to pick up the job anymore, it’ll be disbanded. Your Dad has also borrowed a lot of money, so if he can’t get the project, he might even sell the apartment to recuperate from the loss and repay our bills. “
“Mom is really trying to help you. If you don’t want to go sleep on the streets because of debt, you should really consider my suggestion, regardless of whether you or not you dislike it.”
When she finished talking, Li Manli simply fell silent, letting her daughter quietly think it through.
Yang Jingwan was also silent. Her mind was chaotic.
And before she knew it, Su Lang had already prepared their meal.
The family began to eat.
However, Yang Jingwan was noticeably absent-minded during the meal, and after taking a mouthful of each dish, no longer wanted to eat.
Instead, she rushed back to her room and quickly closed the door.
In the end, Yang Jingwan finally picked up her phone, found Wang Haoran’s number, and prepared to make a call. Unfortunately, right as she was about to press ‘call’—
“Wife?”
Su Lang’s voice came from outside the door.
Clack!
Yang Jingwan was so scared that her mobile phone fell to the ground as a result.
Retrieving the dropped phone in a hurry, she opened the door and huffed impatiently:
“Can’t you knock on the door a bit more quietly? What’s the matter?”
“I saw that you don’t seem to have a good appetite, are you perhaps feeling uncomfortable?” Su Lang asked tenderly and in a gentle tone.
“I’m trying to lose weight, so I don’t want to eat.” Yang Jingwan randomly made up an excuse.
“My wife, you are already in perfect shape. You don’t need to lose weight anymore. Go down and eat more, okay?” Su Lang continued to ask, sounding rather bitter at her brisk retort.
“Why are you so annoying? I already said that I don’t want to eat.” Yang Jingwan was getting a bit irritated, and just wanted to drive Su Lang away, so she hissed:
“I’m going to take a shower now, still not going?”
“Alright.” Su Lang nodded and walked downstairs without a second look.
Regarding her attitude towards him, he wasn’t at all angry.
Because he wanted to give her the greatest love and care in the whole wide world.
And why? It was actually due to something she herself might not even remember anymore.
That year.
He was twelve years old.
She was eight.
He had been living on the streets, on the verge of starving to death.
She was kind and gave him a mouthful of food.
Thus, he managed to survive.
Twelve years later, he became the God of War, possessing both great power and prestige.
Yet he chose to retire at the brightest moment of his career.
Why?
Because he had not forgotten the kindness of her meal that year.
So he returned.
He came back to find her.
Even if there she couldn’t remember the simple act of once giving a little beggar a bowl of rice.
Because it was enough if he alone remembered. If he alone loved.
And he found her at last.
The God of War contacted one of his subordinates to pretend to be a fortune-teller, deceiving Yang Jingwan’s parents, and telling them a fake fortune:
Let Yang Jingwan marry him. Or suffer.
Selfish?
Not at all.
Since, in his opinion, he was the best man in the whole wide world.
Yang Jingwan would only be happy if she married him. She would only be fulfilled if she married him. And the best possible destination for her. . . was also by his side.
He wanted to protect her. To shelter her for life.
However, he did not want to reveal his identity.
For he didn’t want to mix and ruin his relationship with her with ‘other’ factors.
He wanted pure and innocent love.
Therefore, he wished to use a fake status as an ordinary person to win her love.
Within this year, Su Lang had been constantly furious with how the Yang Family treated him, yet he still endured it silently, hiding his true identity.
He hoped that this sincerity would be able to move Yang Jingwan eventually.
However, Yang Tai’s career had hit a slump recently, and Li Manli was cynical of their relationship.
Only then did Su Lang finally decide to make an exception, using his identity to help Yang Tai.
That was the reason why he organized a reception.
But as misfortune would have it, before even managing to get a glimpse of Ma Hongsheng’s face, he suddenly fainted due to an unexpected medical condition.
No matter. Even if it was not now. He would succeed in future, and there was no doubt about it.
He just needed to wait for the right time.
— — —
After Su Lang had left.
Yang Jingwan immediately called Wang Haoran.
However, the phone only beeped a few times, before being unceremoniously hung up by the other side. The crisp dial tone felt harsh against the coldness of the room.
Yang Jingwan did not dare to continue calling.
She had heard that the nightlife of those rich second generations was wild and lavish.
And presumably, Wang Haoran was no exception. Maybe he was ‘working’ right now.
Throwing away those complicated thoughts for a while, Yang Jingwan soon picked out some clothes, before going to the bathroom to take a shower.
She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn’t help but sigh.
It wasn’t like she was ugly, or had any life-threatening conditions, so why did she end up marrying someone like Su Lang? Why did she have to suffer like this?
After taking a shower, Yang Jingwan flopped back onto her bed, playing with her mobile phone while waiting for Wang Haoran to call her back.
As time passed quietly, Yang Jingwan rubbed her sleepy eyelids.
Bzzz!
But it was exactly at this moment that her phone suddenly vibrated.
Yang Jingwan immediately cheered up. It seemed that Wang Haoran had finally called.
However, a lot of time had passed between calls, right?
It took so long for Young Master Wang to finish his ‘work’. Wasn’t that too exaggerated…?
‘Bah! What am I thinking about?’
Yang Jingwan quickly threw away the strange thoughts in her head and connected to the call.
“Calling so soon?”
Wang Haoran’s words carried a hint of meaningful playfulness.
Yang Jingwan was embarrassed initially, but after taking a deep breath, she brazenly spoke her mind:
“Didn’t you tell me just recently that if I needed any help, I could call you? My Dad’s engineering team wants to take over a certain project, so I wanted to ask if you had any contacts in that area you could introduce them to?”
A long pause. Yang Jingwan waited nervously.
“Of course there is. However, it’s not convenient to talk over the phone. Let’s meet up.”
Upon hearing Wang Haoran’s words, Yang Jingwan slightly hesitated, and then asked tentatively:
“Then where shall we meet?”
She had made up her mind. If Wang Haoran choose to meet her in a hotel or other place, she would never go. Her pride would not let her do such an embarrassing and vulgar thing.
Even if it was for herself.
“Shui Zhe Middle School. Do you know where it is? We will meet there at 1:00 noon tomorrow.”
When Wang Haoran said that, Yang Jingwan became much less suspicious, and immediately agreed.
“Okay, that’s it then. See you tomorrow.”
But as he hung up the call, a sly smile crept onto his face.
Tomorrow only heralded the coming of something Yang Jingwan would never expect.
