His Majesty is Scheming - C202
After Ling Mengzhu got off work, she took Old Madam Ling shopping for clothes and divided some of the two bags of dates to Wang Xiang and Hu Chang. She had just paid her salary, so she could spend a little on it for the time being, so she grabbed Mrs. Ling and went to buy clothes.
Who would have thought that when she brought Old Madam Ling to the shopping plaza in the city, she would instead pull her to another place, where they claimed that the clothes there were cheap.
Old Madam Ling had stayed in this city for a period of time, so she was fairly familiar with the terrain here.
When they arrived at the Taobao City, Ling Mengzhu felt faint at the sight of the goods inside. Hu Chang would definitely say that she bullied the elderly. Ru Wei consoled her, “Mom, let’s go to Maofu to buy some. The quality here is not good.”
“It’s alright, this old man needs to wear his clothes for a few days. If he can’t, he won’t be able to die in one breath.” Mrs. Ling said as she took the clothes. She was rather open-minded about it.
Although Ling Mengzhu had always been trying to persuade her, she still couldn’t stand Madam Ling’s insistence. After buying a few cheap sets of clothes, she returned home. Whenever Long Zhenghao worked, he would usually come back very late, and today was the same.
Since Ling Mengzhu had to go to work tomorrow, she went home to take a shower before going to bed. Mrs Ling, on the other hand, claimed to have slept too much during the day and was sitting on the sofa watching television. Ling Mengzhu had originally wanted to tell her not to look, but now that she thought about it, she didn’t know what else she could do. Thus, he shamelessly allowed her to stay in the living room and watch TV.
When Long Zhenghao entered the room, Mrs Ling was giggling at the television, her melon seeds littering the table. Seeing that Long Zhenghao had returned, he immediately smiled and greeted, “Mr. Long, you’re back? Have you eaten? ”
Mr Long forced himself not to frown and simply said a few words: “I’ve eaten.”
“Mr. Long, come over here and take a seat. I’ll help you wash a few dates.” Mrs. Ling opened her mouth to ask for more dates, then walked in front of Long Zhenghao and pulled him to the sofa to sit down. She then carried the dates to the kitchen to wash.
Long Zhenghao didn’t know how to sit or leave, so before he could do anything, Madam Ling came out with the dates and set them on the table in front of him. As he put it away, he chuckled, “Mr Long, it seems that you don’t like to talk.”
“Mm …” “Nor.” “I just don’t want to talk to you guys,” Long Zhenghao added.
“My Pearl must have given you quite a lot of trouble during normal times, right? How are you getting along? ” Mrs. Ling pushed the dates towards him, indicating that he should eat them. Long Zhenghao had no choice but to put one into his mouth and bite it as he answered, “It’s alright.”
Mrs. Ling was immediately overjoyed. “So you two have gotten along quite well? Pearl says you’re a good person. ”
Long Zhenghao sneered in his heart. Would Ling Mengzhu praise him as a decent person? He wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death. She had nothing good to say besides scolding him for being rude and overbearing, right? But it didn’t matter, since he didn’t need others to say anything good about him.
“Hey, what do you think about our family’s pearl?” Mrs. Ling suddenly nudged him with her elbow, her eyes flashing dubiously. She stared at him with a smile, waiting for his answer.
Long Zhenghao was speechless. Why did everyone who came here have this kind of gaze? Why did they all feel that he had something to do with that woman? Why were there so many people who were in a rush to rub them together?
He was about to reply, “Not much,” when Mrs. Ling spoke again. “Don’t look at our pearls. They are very meticulous, kind, and kind. As you can see, she has nothing to say to me, not even my own children. Thus, in this life, whoever takes her away will be the lucky one. ”
Long Zhenghao turned his head to look at her. He wasn’t surprised by the kind and kind Heavenly Immortal that Madam Ling had mentioned. Instead … he asked doubtfully, “You mean …” She’s not your own daughter? ”
“Of course not. My biological daughter no longer cares about my life or death. Sigh …” Mrs. Ling sighed.
“Then she is …”
“It’s my daughter that I picked up. Mr Long, is the jujube delicious? I’ll bring it back next year. ”
“Yes, it’s quite delicious.” Long Zhenghao nodded, but just as he was about to continue asking about the Dreamy Cloud Pearl, Mrs Ling stood up from the sofa and stretched. “It’s very late, I’ll go rest first. You eat slowly.”
When Long Zhenghao saw her enter the room, a sentence suddenly popped out from his mouth, “This room is empty. You can sleep in it.”
Mrs. Ling turned around, and Long Zhenghao tapped his chin on the other room downstairs. It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like for two people, one old and one young, to sleep in the same bed, especially for someone as fat as Mrs. Ling.
“No need, the two of us can sleep in a room.” Madam Ling politely smiled. She had heard from Ling Mengzhu that Long Zhenghao didn’t like outsiders entering other rooms. In short, aside from the kitchen living room and the bedroom where Ling Mengzhu resided, it was best not to go anywhere else.
Since she had given up, Long Zhenghao naturally didn’t say anything more. He picked up the controls and started sweeping the stage.
Ling Mengzhu walked out of the bedroom in a daze, holding her stomach and shouting, “Mom, I’m hungry, cook some supper for me.”
When she saw that it wasn’t Mrs Ling but Long Zhenghao in the living room, most of her sleepiness disappeared. She turned around to look at the bedroom. Since Mrs Ling was sleeping on the floor, she was sound asleep.
Ever since Ling Mengzhu was almost kicked out of bed by Madam Ling last night, she had voluntarily moved to the ground to sleep tonight. Fortunately, the weather wasn’t too cold, and the floor was covered with blankets.
Seeing that Madam Ling was already asleep, Ling Mengzhu had no choice but to find something to take care of herself. She looked at the refrigerator and saw that it was filled with something that needed to be cooked before eating. She then took the egg and noodles to the kitchen.
After two big bowls of fragrant egg noodles, she placed one of them in front of Long Zhenghao. It had already become a habit. As long as she cooked the egg noodles, she would leave him a portion, and he would eat it all, whether he was hungry or full.
Long Zhenghao was watching the evening news when Ling Meng Zhu placed a bowl on the other side of the glass table and started eating.
After accompanying Mrs. Ling for the whole night and having nothing to eat outside, she was feeling extremely hungry.
Because Long Zhenghao had rested for so many days and was busy working so late, he was naturally hungry as well. Unceremoniously, she picked up the noodles and began to eat. This was the taste that he liked, the warmth that she had always been infatuated with.
The two of them ate their noodles in silence while watching the news on television. Since they could be so quiet, they didn’t say a word. After a while, seeing that Long Zhenghao was almost done eating, Ling Meng Yu then jogged into the kitchen, brought out the pot of noodles, and said with a smile, “There’s still a small bowl left. Help me finish it, it’s such a pity for it to be wasted.”
“I’m full.” Long Zhenghao looked at the noodles in the pot.
“Just half, we’ll each take half. Isn’t this fair enough?” Without saying anything, Ling Mengzhu poured half of the noodles into his bowl and then kept the other half. Of course, she couldn’t finish it all, so it would be the same if she didn’t pour it all in.
Long Zhenghao looked at her as she giggled dryly. Suddenly, a strange feeling hit him. Do they look like husband and wife? We ate together and shared a bowl of noodles. And her smile was the best additive.
Seeing him staring at her, Ling Meng Zhu speechlessly said: “What? It’s just for you to eat more. Why do you have such big opinions?
Long Zhenghao finally lowered his head and started to eat the noodles. After a while, he finished all the noodles in the bowl, and when he raised his head, he looked at her again and asked, “Are your biological parents gone?”
Ling Mengzhu was surprised, as she obviously did not expect her to ask that. She lowered her head and sadly said, “I don’t know, I have never seen anyone who knows me since I have a memory of it. You know?” “I have lost my memory.”
Although she really didn’t want to tell him her secret and let him guess her true identity, she felt sorry for him even if she didn’t tell him. He loved her so much, her ex-wife. For this reason, she should forgive him for abandoning her!
Because she didn’t want to hear any more questions, she hurriedly rushed in front of him and asked, “What about you? Where are your parents? What were they doing? How come you didn’t even see a single relative when you got into trouble? ”
Long Zhenghao lowered his eyes and picked at the noodle soup with his chopsticks. After thinking for a while, he said, “They are no longer here and we haven’t contacted any of our other relatives. That’s why we can’t find any of them at this critical moment.”
“This isn’t good. You should spend more time with your relatives and friends. If your relatives and friends have more ways to travel, that would be great.”
“Easy to leave?” Long Zhenghao sneered, and said with an incomparably aggrieved tone, “Other than using you, hurting you, they would never do anything that would benefit you. So I’d rather be alone than a relative or a friend. ”
That’s right, he would remember the losses he had suffered in the past for the rest of his life. This was the so-called kinship, friendship …
In this world, besides his Mu Fan, there wasn’t a second person who treated him sincerely. It was a pity that the only person who treated him sincerely in this world had already left and was never to be seen again.
“Your thoughts are too extreme. Not everyone is like that.” After a long while, Ling Mengzhu finally managed to say something comforting. Other than this nonsense, she didn’t know what else to say.
She hadn’t thought that Long Zhenghao would have this kind of thought. It seemed that he had been betrayed by her relatives before. Otherwise, how could he be unmoved by his relatives?
Long Zhenghao didn’t want to hear these words of comfort, so silence was his way of avoiding the topic.
Ling Meng Zhu didn’t say anything else. She put away the two bowls and chopsticks and walked towards the kitchen. When she finished washing the dishes, Long Zhenghao was no longer in the living room. He looked up the stairs, turned off the light and went back to rest.
