Good Night, Mr. Ghost - Chapter 53
Jiang Chenyi’s face turned crimson instantly, flustered and annoyed, he retorted, “That’s not what I meant!”
“What did you mean then?” Meng Loudi asked with a teasing smile.
The young man turned his head away, still blushing, and said, “I just meant that I would never let my child come into this world hastily. If I have a child, I would strive to protect them, let them be a good person, and pursue what they want.”
“That’s nice,” Meng Loudi commented, then suddenly asked, “So, what if Chenyi ends up with a man? Would you still want kids?”
Under the gaze of those dark eyes, Jiang Chenyi stammered, “Why are you asking that?”
“Come on~ I want to know.”
Meng Loudi suddenly lunged forward, pinning the young man on the bed, his back facing up, arms stretched out, trapping him.
Jiang Chenyi hadn’t even reacted before he found himself in this position.
“Meng Loudi!”
“Tell me, tell me, I want to know,” the man said affectionately, lowering his head to nuzzle against the young man’s back, causing him to stiffen.
This position felt rather compromising.
He swallowed hard and said, “No, if I’m with a man, neither of us can have children, so why want them? If I really wanted kids, maybe I’d consider adoption.”
He buried his face in the bed, speaking muffled, “Because love requires fidelity, you can’t just abandon it for a child.”
Meng Loudi’s expression shifted, then he asked, “So, Chenyi, how many people will you like in the future?”
“What kind of question is that? If it’s liking, then probably a lot,” the young man said matter-of-factly, causing Meng Loudi’s face to darken.
Meng Loudi gritted his teeth, mentally noting down Jiang Chenyi’s words, that he would like many, definitely.
Jiang Chenyi puffed his cheeks, somewhat shyly, and said, “But if we’re talking about love, I would only fall for one person. Maybe it’s due to family upbringing, but I don’t want to love too many people. One is enough to fill my heart.”
Meng Loudi was taken aback, then showed a gentle smile.
Only love one person?
Tsk, this man, is he trying to seduce him?
Saying things like only loving one person, one person is enough to fill his heart.
Oh dear.
This man is simply irresistible.
The man’s face flushed deeply, and he collapsed onto the young man, his breath brushing against the young man’s back.
Enveloped by the man’s body, the young man felt a bit uneasy.
Meng Loudi inhaled the scent of medicine from him and said softly, “Don’t move, let me hold you for a while.”
“…Okay,” Jiang Chenyi replied, pursing his lips.
After holding for quite a while, Jiang Chenyi shifted slightly and said, “Get off, I’m going numb.”
“Mm,” Meng Loudi agreed, flipping over and pulling the young man onto him, chuckling, “Is this better?”
Jiang Chenyi: “…You’re so annoying.”
“No way, doesn’t Chenyi like me a lot?” the man teased.
“Who said that!”
“So Chenyi doesn’t like me? Really? Not even my face? Am I really that unattractive?” the man said, feigning hurt.
Jiang Chenyi initially wanted to firmly reject this narcissistic fool, but thinking of the man’s stunning looks, he fell silent.
What to do? He really likes this man’s face!
The man’s triumphant voice came from beside him, laughing, “That’s great, Chenyi really likes my face, huh.”
He knows Jiang Chenyi well.
Even when he hadn’t revealed his face, Jiang Chenyi was willing to live with him, though somewhat reluctantly.
But once he showed his true appearance, Jiang Chenyi was quite fond of it.
That’s enough.
Like him, be infatuated with him, fall in love with him.
That’s what he wants.
Jiang Chenyi wanted to refute him, but couldn’t. He was just that shallow.
“I…”
Meng Loudi caressed his cheek, chuckling softly, “So, what does Chenyi want to say? Chenyi, won’t you fall for me? Chenyi, will you really reject me and break my heart? I really like Chenyi, have you felt my affection?”
Listening to the man’s loving words, Jiang Chenyi felt his heart race, nervous and excited. What to do? What to do?
He seems to be liking this shameless man.
Oh no, he’s doomed.
“So, do you like me? I’m not forcing Chenyi to love me instantly, I just want Chenyi to like me, then slowly fall in love with me, is that okay?”
The man’s husky voice inquired.
Jiang Chenyi gave up, covering his face, and said, “Like, okay.”
“That’s good, so, what should we do next?” the man coaxed.
Jiang Chenyi jolted, although he shouldn’t know about that kind of thing, he somehow knew how to do it.
“No, before we officially establish a relationship, we must keep a distance.”
Jiang Chenyi flipped over, looking at him, pursed his lips, and said, “Loudi, you understand me, right?”
“Of course,” the man replied with a smile.
Who in this world could understand Jiang Chenyi better than him?
Someone who loves Chenyi as much as he does, there isn’t another in the world.
So, after both reached an agreement.
They successfully slept together under the covers.
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed in, filling the room with soft light.
Jiang Chenyi didn’t know when he had snuggled into the man’s embrace, feeling natural and secure.
He blinked, his mind still a bit hazy.
Seems nice, might as well keep sleeping.
The young man closed his eyes, breathing lightly.
Meng Loudi quietly opened his eyes, looking at the young man in his arms, at his short but dense eyelashes, leaned in, kissed his earlobe, and whispered like May’s willow fluff, light and soft, “Good morning, Chenyi.”
Jiang Chenyi’s eyes darted, his eyelids lifted, he said sheepishly, “You’re awake.”
“Mm, seems early, want to keep sleeping?” the man asked, his eyes gentle.
Under the morning light, the man’s face seemed to be glowing.
No need to think, this is Jiang Chenyi’s natural beauty filter, under the mysterious halo, the young man found Meng Loudi attractive no matter how he looked.
“No more sleep,” Jiang Chenyi lowered his gaze.
His brown eyes were clear and gentle.
“Then let’s get up. Chenyi, no matter what we do next, whatever happens, don’t be afraid.”
“Afraid? Afraid of what?” the young man asked, puzzled.
Meng Loudi got up, leisurely dressing, said meaningfully, “Of what’s going to happen.”
The man’s words cast a shadow over Jiang Chenyi’s initially good mood, would something bad happen again?
Meng Loudi looked at the dazed young man, smirked, kissed his forehead, and said, “How to say, Shen Baihe is just a crazy woman.”
This didn’t sound like a brother’s evaluation of a sister.
It wasn’t a joke, but seriously said.
Jiang Chenyi felt uneasy.
The two tidied up and left the room.
Shen Baihe was wearing a snow-white cheongsam today, with a mink cape draped over her wrist, looking very affluent.
Hearing the door open, she smiled and looked over, asking, “How was it? Chenyi, did you sleep well last night?”
Meng Loudi frowned, reminding, “Shen Baihe, do I have to say it a third time?”
The woman shivered, “Alright, alright, Mr. Jiang, yesterday, did I scare you?”
Her eyes showed concern and apology.
She seemed genuinely worried about the young man.
Jiang Chenyi looked at her, feeling the pain in his back, he shook his head and said, “It’s fine, but Madam Shen, why did you do that?”
His face was serious, “Cui Yulou is just a child.”
Upon hearing her nephew’s name, Shen Baihe’s expression twisted for a moment, she turned away awkwardly and said, “If he hadn’t provoked me, I wouldn’t have done that.”
“What mistake did he make?”
“Oh, Mr. Jiang, you’re just too kind, so kind and warm, and good-looking, really…”
The woman’s eyes carried some resentment as she glanced at Meng Loudi, then shifted her gaze.
“Never mind, let’s go downstairs.”
The three went downstairs.
The maid named Ling’er approached, whispering, “Madam, I saw it yesterday, that.”
“It’s fine, speak,” Shen Baihe didn’t care.
Ling’er lowered her voice, “That person, he wants to expose us, apparently waiting for the eldest young master and first young madam to return.”
Shen Baihe frowned, annoyed, “Big brother and sister-in-law are already busy enough, can’t he be considerate of us? Must he cause trouble, kick him out.”
Ling’er lowered her head, whispered, “Madam Shen, this won’t work, that person was sent by the old madam, if he goes out and complains to the old madam… we can’t let him out.”
The woman’s expression turned cold, she laughed, “Yes, if he goes out and complains to the old madam, we’ll all be finished, this, let’s talk about it later. Mr. Jiang, cousin, let’s have breakfast first.”
She deliberately avoided the two, planning to explain to these useless servants later.
Jiang Chenyi looked at her, his brows furrowed slightly, wanting to speak but hesitated.
Shen Baihe smiled sweetly, “Oh dear, does Mr. Jiang see me as such a vicious woman? Don’t worry.”
The woman waved her hand, gracefully walking into the dining room.
Meng Loudi also held Jiang Chenyi, tapping his lips with his finger, said, “Don’t ask too much, be good.”
The young man pursed his lips, obediently closed his mouth.
Everyone took their seats.
Cui Yulou seemed to be physically fine.
But this time, Chen Zhiyan’s face looked a bit grim, he sat at the table and suddenly said, “Madam Shen, someone entered my room.”
Shen Baihe was stunned, smiled, “Isn’t that normal? Mr. Chen knows, right? Our house is designed strangely, they definitely have to pass through your room, you can’t make them detour to avoid your room, can you?”
The woman’s eyes held a cold smile, “What? Does Mr. Chen have something to hide in his room?”
Chen Zhiyan snorted, “Since it’s unavoidable, there’s nothing I can do, right? Madam, I’m done eating, I’ll leave first.”
The boy sat at the table, slowly nibbling on a bun, Jiang Chenyi reached out, placing a peeled egg in front of the boy, said, “Here you go.”
Cui Yulou was startled, instinctively looked at Shen Baihe, seeing no change in her expression, he accepted it and ate slowly.
Jiang Chenyi also looked at Shen Baihe, smiling gently, “Madam, would you like one too?”
The woman instantly smiled, eagerly said, “Yes, Chenyi, no, Mr. Jiang, you’ve worked hard.”
Her face, though heavily made-up, still showed her girlish joy, seemingly very satisfied with the young man’s attentiveness.
