Chapter XII
In order to better protect her, he gave up a lot of opportunities, although he appeared as a well-known scholar in the past ten years, but more energy was focused on Leng Chenmeng. It took him ten years to make this little girl, who was almost abandoned by her parents, what she is today.
And his love for her has been growing and deepening with her age, and today he is even more difficult to let go, and he can't go back.
But Leng Chenmeng seems to be very ignorant of this emotion that is a bit like a teacher-student love, and he has never responded to his love, as if the past ten years have been just his wishful thinking.
However, Leng Chenmeng is the 'Yin Bead in the Palm' held by him, as long as he doesn't let go, this little girl will be his woman sooner or later. Besides, it is indeed a bit cruel to let this little girl who is not yet eighteen years old marry another woman, he will cherish her very much if he loves her, so he can wait.
"Brother Kang..."Leng Chenmeng felt that someone was looking at him behind him, and turned around sensitively.
"Hmm... What do you think? Kang Ran walked in and sat directly on the floor opposite her, and smiled softly, "I can't remember any tune, Brother Kang will help you find the score?" ”。
Leng Chenmeng bit her lip and didn't speak, she also knew that Kang Ran deliberately said this to make her happy, but she was about to be pushed out as a very important chess piece, and this kind of thing naturally could not be solved by a joke.
"Scared?" Kang Ran couldn't help but smile again, "Girl, are you also afraid?" Have you forgotten how fierce you were when you were a child...".
"What if... How nice it would be to go back to that time..."Leng Chenmeng lowered his head and sighed, "Isn't it... When I turn eighteenth, I'm going to... Got out of here? ”。
"Yes..."Kang Ran had no idea of objecting, and he would do his best to do her best and never disobey her request.
Leng Chenmeng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Kang Ran with some surprise, she was pushed out to be a sacrifice, why would Brother Kang, who had always loved her and loved her, let it go? Even if Leng Chengfeng's power is too great for him to compete with, Kang Ran should at least help her come up with a solution, right?
Kang Ran kept looking at the aggrieved expression on her face that was surprised and hesitant, and a little lonely and disappointed, and couldn't help but laugh again, originally just wanted to tease her but couldn't bear to see her so scared.
"When you want to leave and where you want to go, it's up to you, Miss, to be happy!" Kang Ran smiled, "You have a better choice, that is, stay here all the time, Brother Kang will guard you for the rest of your life, and you will never allow anyone to hurt you...".
"Oh, I see!" Leng Chenmeng had just relieved his nervousness, and soon asked anxiously, "Brother Kang, did you promise him any conditions?" What did he say, and what else did he want? ”。
Kang Ran thought for a while, and then replied seriously, "We just negotiated the conditions, I told your father that I like you to marry you...".
"Huh?" Leng Chenmeng was even more stunned, "Brother Kang, you... Teasing me again? You're my brother, how is this possible...".
Kang Ran once again hit a wall without any suspense in her very uneuphemistic words, and he was used to her rejection for so many years, so he didn't care too much.
"Well, Brother Kang is joking!" Kang Ran had to change the subject, "I have something very important to do, and I need to leave for a few days." You're not allowed to go out to practice at home, and I'll let Fluttershy and Wan'er stay with you, and I'll wait until I come back for anything..."
"Brother Kang, you... How long will you be away and when will you return? Leng Chenmeng grabbed Kang Ran's arm and asked, "It's good for you to come back early, I'm afraid of him...".
"I'm afraid your dad will come to see you again?" Kang Ran patted Chenmeng's shoulder and smiled again, "Don't worry, we've already negotiated." From now on, he will never embarrass you again, and I will come back to accompany you as soon as I finish my errands...".
Leng Chenmeng bit her lip and nodded a little reluctantly, "Okay... Brother Kang, don't forget me, I'm waiting for you...".
"Even if I forget myself, I can't forget you!" Kang Ran flicked her long hair, and there was a little tenderness in his heart, he really loved her and was reluctant to leave her.
There was the smell of steamed rice cakes wafting out of the kitchen, Tianxing opened the hall door and went directly into the kitchen, Lan Ruo called him to come back for dinner, and his cousin came over very unceremoniously to find a meal rut, and the eldest young master of the Lan family, who had not eaten anything at noon, felt hungry at this time, and went into the kitchen to urge him to start eating early.
Lan Ruo was directing the cook and nanny to prepare dinner, and when she saw him come in, she guessed what he meant. cut a piece of rice cake that had just come out of the pot and gave it to him, and Tianxing sat at the table to eat rice cakes and chatted with Lan Ruo by the way.
"It's still delicious that Sister Ruo makes..."Tianxing was very satisfied with the food and praised, "Fortunately, my mother passed on this craft to my sister, and it was as delicious as what she made back then...".
Lan Ruo sighed and laughed again, "Your mother's Lingxiu intelligence is unmatched, I can learn that she is content with one-tenth of it...".
"Sister Ruo, back then, my mother..."Tianxing paused slightly, he knew that he shouldn't ask too much, but many things always have to find the original source to completely solve the problem.
"Actually, your mother..."Lan Ruogang just wanted to speak, Zhang Zhihuan entered the dining room and greeted Tianxing, "Uncle Shi, the old man invites you to the study...".
"Oh? I haven't eaten yet, what is the senior brother looking for me to do? Tianxing looked at Lan Ruo with some weakness, and Lan Ruo shook his head helplessly. This husband of hers has always done his own thing, doing whatever he wants, and rarely discussing things with her.
"What's the matter?" Lan Ruo asked casually.
Zhihuan smiled bitterly, "Don't you know the temper of this old man in our family?" Can he tell me something you don't know? ”。
Lan Ruo was slightly stunned and stood up and went to the study, she vaguely guessed the answer.
"Mom," Zhihuan called out to her, "My dad said, let Uncle Shi go alone!" ”。
"What's the matter, it's still so mysterious?" Tianxing had no choice but to stand up and go upstairs, if he had been delayed for a long time, the senior brother who was even stricter than his father Lan Zipeng should be dissatisfied with and reprimand him.
Lan Ruo hesitated for a moment and followed up with the study, she had the right to know about such things in this family.
Senior Brother Zhang was sitting at his desk and was looking through the yellow calendar, and when he saw Lan Ruo behind Tianxing, he couldn't help frowning. They have lived together for so many years, and they can be regarded as respectful and full of children, as for whether they are happy or not, only they know.
Lan Ruo looked at Senior Brother Zhang's expression instead of being angry, but smiled very softly, "What's so anxious, can't you talk about it after dinner?" ”。
"Close the door!" Senior Brother Zhang commanded, although he was a little dissatisfied, he couldn't help it.
"Senior brother, what do you want to do?" Although Tianxing closed the door and jokingly said, "I haven't eaten lunch yet, you should speak as briefly as possible, the rice cakes will not taste good when they are cold...".
Senior Brother Zhang glanced at Tianxing and then at Lan Ruo, and then asked solemnly, "Tianxing, you are not young, is it time to get married and have children...".
"Huh? Brother, you... Is it for this? Tianxing thought it was funny, "You are more competent than my father, and this matter is also in your charge?" ”。
"Hmmm! As long as Lao Tzu wants to take care of it..."Senior Brother Zhang asked confidently, "Do you want to hear it?" ”。
"Don't dare, you say..."Tianxing looked at Lan Ruo helplessly, Lan Ruo persuaded, "This is Tianxing's own business, just let him handle it himself...".
Senior Brother Zhang didn't object to this statement but asked, "Although your father Lan Zipeng ordered you a baby kiss when you were ten years old, but the child has been missing for so many years and has not been found, and the Cheng family has no suitable girl to marry, so this matter is invalid even if it expires...".
"Well, yes! Senior Brother Yingyin..."Tianxing flattered at the right time, "Or you are always thoughtful...".
Senior Brother Zhang ignored his praise, and asked with a calm face, "Tell me what kind of girl you like?" Do you think... How's Yun'er? ”。
"Oh... Who? Tianxing thought that he had misheard, and then asked, "Yun'er is only fifteen years old, senior brother, you must be joking, right?" ”。
"I'm serious!" Senior Brother Zhang replied very seriously, "Although Yun'er is a few years younger, it doesn't matter, you can get engaged to give her the title of a lady first, and then you will have a wedding when she is over twenty years old..."
