Chapter 103
103 A Bad Friend
Luo Han looked even more shocked when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
The conversation between him and Luo Cheng might involve many secrets. It was too unlike Luo Cheng, who had always been suspicious of people, to let Li Xiaoran come over and listen.
Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in confusion. Unfortunately, Luo Cheng only looked at her with a smile.
“If you guys drink, I have to make a pot of good tea too!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “I’ll go to the kitchen to boil some water first. I’ll come over after making the tea! I happened to bring some chrysanthemum tea that my mother dried!”
Luo Cheng saw that Li Xiaoran insisted on making tea. He nodded and let her be.
After that, Luo Cheng and Luo Han went to the small hall where the dining table was placed.
Taking advantage of Li Xiaoran’s absence, Luo Han asked the question on his mind.
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know that you can’t tell anyone what we’re going to say? Why did you insist that Li Xiaoran follow us?”
Luo Cheng only smiled at Luo Han and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine.
After that, Luo Cheng filled the gla.s.s in front of Luo Han.
“I naturally have my reasons for doing so! You’ll know in a moment! Other than what involves my background, there’s no harm in saying anything else!”
“Are you serious?” Luo Han’s expression turned serious. “Luo Cheng, I’m not joking with you!”
“Of course I’m not joking with you! Luo Han, when did you start looking down on me?! Have you ever seen me let anyone follow me? Since I let Li Xiaoran follow me, I naturally have my reasons! You should believe me!” With that, Luo Cheng raised his gla.s.s and clinked it with Luo Han’s.
With a crisp clinking sound, Luo Cheng picked up the gla.s.s and drank it in one gulp!
Luo Han thought for a moment, his gaze changing from hesitation to determination. Then he picked up his gla.s.s and drank.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng patted Luo Han’s shoulder and smiled.
“That’s the Luo Han I know!”
“You brat, I realize more and more that I don’t understand you! Just as you said, you never do anything stupid. This time, you must have a reason for letting Li Xiaoran follow you! However, I’ll say this first. Just because you approve doesn’t mean I’ll approve. I’ll definitely investigate carefully! I’m puzzled. She’s just a farm girl. Is she worth you trusting her so much?” Luo Han muttered with a puzzled expression.
“You’ll know later that everything I do is worth it!” was all Luo Cheng said.
When Li Xiaoran brewed the chrysanthemum tea and brought it over, she saw that the dishes on the dining table were untouched. The two people sitting were only drinking wine. She understood that they were waiting for her.
“Thank you for waiting! I’ll punish myself with drinking a cup of tea!” Li Xiaoran said as she poured out a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
She picked it up and toasted Luo Cheng and Luo Han before drinking it all.
Luo Han was puzzled when he saw Li Xiaoran like this.
“You usually give your wife wine at home?”
Luo Cheng shook his head and looked at Li Xiaoran. He just smiled but didn’t speak.
“No, no! I just saw that others drank like this, so I followed suit!” Li Xiaoran explained awkwardly.
These table manners were actually learned from her past work and socializing experience in the modern world.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
“Alright, eat something! You’ve been busy all day. Although we had dinner at home, you must be hungry! Come, have a bowl of hot soup first!” As Luo Cheng spoke, he picked up the bowl in front of Li Xiaoran and scooped out a bowl of hot soup from the small stove.
Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded. She also wanted to drink a bowl of hot soup to warm up, so she accepted Luo Cheng’s kindness and took the soup before drinking it with a spoon.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was drinking happily, Luo Cheng also scooped a bowl of soup for himself. As he drank, he looked at Li Xiaoran with a smile.
Luo Han was so shocked by what had happened that his eyeb.a.l.l.s were about to pop out.
Why did he feel more and more that the Luo Cheng in front of him wasn’t the Luo Cheng he used to know?!
Could Luo Cheng have been possessed by something?
Or was someone else disguised as Luo Cheng?
Thinking of this, Luo Han subconsciously reached out to touch Luo Cheng’s face.
“What are you doing?” Seeing that Luo Han hand was already in front of him, Luo Cheng quickly raised his hand and slapped his hand away.
“I have a wife. Don’t have any ideas about me! Also, I don’t like men!”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran almost spat out the soup in her mouth.
Fortunately, she swallowed the soup at the critical moment, but she choked a little.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran had choked, Luo Cheng quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. Then, he patted Li Xiaoran’s back.
As he patted Li Xiaoran’s back, Luo Cheng glared at Luo Han.
“Why are you trying to touch me during dinner?!”
At this moment, Luo Han really felt that something was wrong with Luo Cheng, so he said, “Don’t worry, I don’t like men either! I just don’t think you seem like yourself at all. I want to see if you’ve changed your appearance or worn a human skin mask.”
With that, Luo Han reached out to touch Luo Cheng again.
“Stop! Do you want me to prove that I’m myself by saying that you were still wetting the bed when you’re thirteen?” Luo Cheng said meanly.
“You! You! You! You! Luo Cheng, I want to cut ties with you! How can you expose me like this? How can there be a buddy like you?” Luo Han’s face was red as he slammed the table angrily.
“Ahem, what? I didn’t hear anything just now!” Li Xiaoran said blankly, “Husband, what did you say just now? I was too busy coughing and didn’t hear anything!”
Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran and realized for the first time that his wife was actually an expert at acting.
She had clearly heard everything, yet she was still pretending that she knew nothing.
“Alright, stop pretending! You heard me! I probably had a grudge with you in my previous life. Why did I meet such a bad friend like you?!” Luo Han said angrily.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
“Husband, you’re indeed being a little unkind. You can’t do this again!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran was no longer pretending, Luo Cheng smirked.
“It depends on my mood next time!”
When Luo Han heard this, he rolled his eyes.
“Alright, alright. Stop talking about nonsense. Hurry up and tell me what happened!” Luo Han wisely changed the topic.
Speaking of this, Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran.
“We have to start this topic talking about a clothing store!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak.
