Chapter 92
92 Only Children Make Choices
As soon as he said this, Han Zhenming’s expression changed, but he didn’t say anything else.
Han Zhenming turned around and waved his hand. He called for everyone to pack their things, then took the salary from Luo Cheng and left with Han Zheng.
Li Xiaoran looked at the place that was very lively just now but in the blink of an eye, there was no one around anymore. She had a feeling that she couldn’t describe.
“Husband, actually, I’m not that sad! You know, I’m not a fragile person!” Li Xiaoran turned to look at Luo Cheng and said with some heartache.
Li Xiaoran had seen how happy Luo Cheng was when he saw Han Zhenming previously.
However, because of her, Luo Cheng had one less elder who cared about him. It also hurt him. Li Xiaoran felt a little apologetic.
“It has nothing to do with you! You’re my wife. You and I are one! Han Zheng insulted you, which is the same as insulting me. Besides, I finally understand today! In Uncle Han’s heart, I’ll never be as important as his daughter!” Luo Cheng’s cold voice sounded.
“This is human nature! Everyone will love their own children more!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said.
“That’s right! I just realized it! Perhaps Uncle Han saw my desire for kinship, so he indulged Han Zheng to insult you! As expected, whether a person is sincere to you or not can be seen from some small details! Because a person’s subconscious actions already reflect his true feelings!” Luo Cheng sneered.
Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng made sense and didn’t know how to comfort him.
“If one day, if you have to choose between your parents, sister, or me, who will you choose?” Luo Cheng suddenly asked.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she felt that there was something familiar about this question.
This was similar to the popular modern world question of if your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran suddenly smiled at Luo Cheng.
This smile came so suddenly that Luo Cheng didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to have such a reaction.
“Only children make choices. Adults choose all of them!”
With that, Li Xiaoran took out her two hands and held Luo Cheng’s other hand.
“Luo Cheng, you’re also my family. You’re as important as my parents and sister! Why must I choose? Can’t I choose all of you? Others always say that you can’t take all the benefits in the world, right? But I’m very greedy. I want everything. Therefore, I’m destined to contribute more than others!”
At this point, Li Xiaoran paused.
“Because if you want something, you have to contribute! The more I get, the more I’ll contribute! In order to have a complete family, I’m willing to give my hard work to get everything I want!”
Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and watched her say an answer that he had never expected.
“You…”
After being stunned for a long time, Luo Cheng finally said, “How greedy!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed and shook Luo Cheng’s hands.
“I’m only greedy for what I deserve! Everyone has their own bottom line. My family is my bottom line! Of course, it’s family members that I acknowledge!”
With that, Li Xiaoran pulled Luo Cheng back to the noodle stall.
“Looks like I can slack off today. I don’t have to cook a lot of tasty food!”
As he looked at Li Xiaoran, who was smiling, Luo Cheng’s gloomy mood dissipated.
Right, it wasn’t worth it to feel bad because of those he shouldn’t have cared about in the first place.
After thinking it through, Luo Cheng replied, “That won’t do. We still have to cook tasty food!”
“That’s good! I remember that there’s still a piece of pork belly at home. Let’s make braised pork today!” Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and said.
“Okay!” Luo Cheng nodded and was pulled back to the noodle stall by Li Xiaoran.
The Han family’s matter was like a ripple. After it happened, it only caused a ripple before disappearing.
However, that afternoon, Luo Cheng went out and called a group of people to build the shop from somewhere. The land by the official road became lively again.
“Where did you find people from this time?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously while cooking the noodles.
“It’s a coincidence. I met them when I went to town! Don’t worry, although they’re not people I’m familiar with, these people have a good reputation and the shops they built are very sturdy!” Luo Cheng thought that Li Xiaoran was worried that he had randomly found people to build the shop, so he explained.
“I’m not worried about you doing things! I just feel that you’re too fast! It seems that my husband is a very capable person!” Li Xiaoran praised with a smile.
“Of course. If I didn’t have some skills, how could I protect my wife?!” Luo Cheng replied.
As he spoke, four more people arrived.
One of the four, a woman in a hat, sat at the table together.
“Please serve four bowls of minced meat knife-cut noodles!” a sallow-faced man shouted.
“Alright, please wait a moment!” Li Shun replied.
When Li Xiaoran heard that there were customers, she quickly returned to the stove and began to cut and cook the noodles.
Soon, four bowls of sliced noodles were served.
The last bowl was personally delivered by Li Xiaoran and placed in front of the woman in the veiled hat.
“Lady, your noodles are ready!”
When the woman in the veiled hat saw Li Xiaoran, she immediately became emotional.
Li Xiaoran suddenly felt that the other party was a little excited and anxious.
However, on the surface, she couldn’t see anything unusual about the other party.
At this moment, the old lady in her forties sitting on the woman’s left grabbed the woman’s hand and urged her, “Daughter, eat quickly! After you’re full, we can continue on our way!”
With that, the old lady smiled at Li Xiaoran.
“I’m sorry, my daughter rarely goes out. It’s her first time out, so she’s a little shy!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood.
“Oh, okay, I won’t disturb you all anymore!” Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded. “Please enjoy!”
With that, Li Xiaoran turned to leave.
However, after taking a few steps, she felt like she had tripped over something. Fortunately, Li Xiaoqing was beside Li Xiaoran and quickly supported her.
“What’s wrong? Sister?” Li Xiaoqing asked with concern.
“Oh, it’s fine. There’s a pit here. I didn’t notice and tripped! Sorry!” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile.
The people eating the noodles paid no further attention when they heard what happened.
Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng, who wasn’t far away, and signaled him to come over.
