“Let’s buy some things first.” Ruan Yang opened the door and sat in the car. “I heard your mom mention that she can’t sleep well at night. Let’s take a look at the pharmacy. Also, we should get some clothes for your grandma. It’s spring and your grandma loves to doll up. We should also get something for your father and grandpa.”
Li Shaobin was stunned. ‘Yangyang, you have a very good memory. You even remember all that?”
“I have to spend a lifetime with you and your parents are my parents. You treat my parents so nicely but you’re so mindless with your parents.” Ruan Yang smiled gently. “Besides, your family members will definitely be unhappy with me because of what happened. I have to salvage the good impression I have on them and be a virtuous daughter-in-law.”
The mention of that incident made Li Shaobin sigh silently. He hated those kinds of quarreling in-law problems. Although He Mingshan didn’t say anything, his mom could be quite prickly sometimes too and he could feel that she wasn’t satisfied with Ruan Yang. She just didn’t say anything because of him. ‘Yangyang, you don’t have to force yourself. What matters most is that we get along well. I’ve never cared about what others think ever since I was young.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Ruan Yang held his hand gently.
——————-
Li Shaobin shopped with her for a while and while they were at it, he could feel some people hiding discreetly, taking photos of them.
Ruan Yang was already used to this. She looked back and said, “I think they’re paparazzi.”
Ever since the grand wedding ended a few days ago, although no one took photos of Ruan Yang, reporters at the hotel got a photo of Jiang Duoyao attending the wedding, so there had been speculations in the entertainment industry that it was Ruan Yang who got married. Many people left comments on her Weibo to ask her but she didn’t reply to them directly.
However, reporters had their ways. They dug out Li Shaobin’s Weibo account and searched through all the hints and clues on it. For example, some fans recognized the pants in the Weibo post of him lying on a woman’s lap to be the same ones Ruan Yang wore to a certain show. Also, the curtain in one of his Weibo posts matched the curtains she had at home. Slowly, fans accepted this relationship and everyone also knew that she had returned to Northern City. She had rarely been out the past few days and she didn’t think that the moment she went out today, her tracks would be detected so quickly.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll get someone to chase them away,” Li Shaobin said intimately as he put his arm around her waist.
“I’m fine with it. I’m just afraid that this would affect you.” Ruan Yang suddenly smiled and glanced at him. “Maybe if you happen to do something to let me down one day, I won’t need to find out myself. The paparazzi would do that for me immediately.”
“I won’t. I’m only afraid that they might frame me. But since you said so, I’ll let them follow us and let them help you keep an eye on me,” Li Shaobin said with a grin. “But if they were to fabricate something and frame me, I won’t sit still.”
“I think you should just get someone to chase them away.” Ruan Yang blinked. “They’re a bunch of people who can’t stand peace. If I’m living happily, they won’t have anything exciting to write about. They’re hoping for me to be in a pathetic state. It’d be best if I got kicked out by a wealthy man again.”
“Sure. I guarantee you won’t see any news about you tomorrow.” Li Shaobin walked into a shop selling old people’s clothing with her hand in hand.
He didn’t know anything about old people’s clothing. They were all flowery and gaudy. Just looking at it for a while made his head spin. He looked for a couch and sat down to rest.
Ruan Yang wouldn’t count on him to pick something nice either, so she chose four sets of clothes alone.
When they were packed, Ruan Yang opened the bag for him to see. “Do you want to take a look?”
“Clothes for old people are almost the same. What’s there to look at?” Li Shaobin pulled her over by the waist. “Yangyang, do you want to buy something for yourself? Clothes? Cosmetic products?”
“Not at the moment. I have so many clothes that I can’t wear.”
Li Shaobin sighed. “Yangyang, why are you helping me save money? You should learn from Changqing. She squanders Old Song’s money, eyes his credit card, and craves for his salary from time to time.”
“Wow, so that’s what you have been saying about Changqing behind her back.” Ruan Yang raised her brows. “I’ll tell Changqing about it.”
“Aye, don’t. She might think I’m trying to sow discord between them,” Li Shaobin said with a grin. “Actually, when Old Song said that, his face was full of love.”
“I was teasing you. Actually, Changqing is quite cute like that.” Ruan Yang suddenly smiled and lamented, “Someone like Changqing is the kind who really deserves to be loved and pampered by men.”
“To each his own.” Li Shaobin kissed her lovingly. “I just loved your spunk when you forced a kiss on me.”
“Oh, so you like to be submissive.” Ruan Yang nodded thoughtfully.
“I don’t,” Li Shaobin quickly retorted and said proudly, “Don’t you see how powerful I am in bed? Every time, you’re the one who says you can’t do it anymore.”
Ruan Yang glared at him while blushing. He wasn’t even ashamed to say such things in public. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone around. “Fine, I wanted to say that I’ll go on top next time. Since you said so, I guess we should forget it.”
Li Shaobin was stunned. He was trying to imagine what it would be like with Ruan Yang riding on him. He quickly said, “Aiya, actually, it’s not bad to have a change occasionally. Yangyang, I think it’s good for your body to do more exercise. You’re going on top once your body recovers in a month.”
“Let’s see how I feel.” Ruan Yang smiled. “If I’m on top, I might use some rope, whip, or stuff like that.”
Li Shaobin took in a deep breath.” Yangyang, I didn’t know you had such a fetish.”
“Why, are you scared?” Ruan Yang lifted her brows.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Aiya, I’m always the one hitting and bullying people. No one has ever hit me like that. It seems quite interesting.” Just thinking about it made Li Shaobin excited and his eyes lit up. “Yangyang, remember what you said. You have to use a whip. Don’t go back on your word.”
Ruan Yang: “…”
She really wished she could bite her tongue off. Actually, she was just kidding. She really didn’t think that Li Shaobin would be so interested in it. He was so submissive but he still refused to admit it.
“There’s still more than 20 days. I really can’t wait for you to recover.” Li Shaobin looked at her like a dog looking at a bone. He could only hope that the whip was ready for him tonight.
“Look in front—the escalator.” Ruan Yang glanced at him and reminded him in case he fell the way he did at the airport.
“Yangyang, you said so,” Li Shaobin reminded her once again unassuredly. “I’ll get Hu Zhi to prepare the whip later.”
“… There’s no need for that.” Ruan Yang felt unwell all over. “What would he think of us?”
Li Shaobin blinked. “Oh, that’s true. It’s not that good to let someone know about something so private. Forget it. I’ll buy it online myself. Secretly. It’s a secret between us.”
Ruan Yang held the handrail of the escalator. She only wished that she could fall down the escalator right now.
One really should watch one’s words.
Luckily, He Mingshan called at that moment and asked him why he wasn’t back yet. Li Shaobin said loudly, “I’m at the mall with Yangyang to get stuff for you… Don’t we always have dinner late at home?… Why are you rushing us? Are you catching a plane?”
He put his phone down and Ruan Yang said, “When we get there, don’t talk to your mom in this tone. Also, if she were to reprimand me, don’t speak up for me, don’t interrupt, and don’t stand up for me.”
“Why?” Li Shaobin was unsatisfied. “You’re my precious. No one can say anything nasty to you. Besides, you’ve also suffered. You had a… miscarriage.”
The mention of the miscarriage made Ruan Yang’s gaze dim. “It’s also because I wasn’t careful. The child belonged to both of us. We were both hurt. It’s only normal that your family members aren’t happy about what happened at the wedding. The more you protect me, the more they will feel uncomfortable although they might not show it. I think your mom is that kind of person. She dotes on you too much.”
Li Shaobin didn’t think she would be so observant. “Mm, my mom dotes on me but I dote on you too… I don’t want you to be hurt.”
“What’s there to be hurt about? I’m just letting them say some things to vent. I’ll just take it that I’m acting. It’s nothing.” Ruan Yang held his hand. “In any case, you have to listen to me on this.”
“I can listen to you.” Li Shaobin thought for a while and suddenly smiled sinisterly. “But you have to promise me to use the whip.”
Ruan Yang clenched her teeth. “Fine, I’ll use the whip. I’ll use the thickest kind of whip out there and make sure I whip you until your flesh tears. We’ll see if you dare to think about it again.”
“You won’t.” Li Shaobin smiled brightly. “You’ll definitely dote on me.”
Ruan Yang almost melted because of his smile.
How bright and healthy he looked when he smiled. But his heart was filled with sinister thoughts of the whip.
“Yangyang, I really want you to recover quickly.” Li Shaobin suddenly touched her bum.
Ruan Yang hit him with a flushed face. “Cut it out; there are reporters in the back.”
“Oh, I won’t allow them to follow us tomorrow.” Li Shaobin was delighted.
…
When they arrived at the Li Household, the sky was already dark.
When they entered, the people in the house only nodded their heads slightly at Ruan Yang. Li Congyang said lightly, “Why did you have to bring so many things when you come?”
“I just recalled that Mom said she couldn’t sleep well at night last time, so I bought some herbs and I got Grandma some new clothes for spring. I also got a pipe for Grandpa and Dad, you said that your waist hurt last time. I heard this cream works very well…” Ruan Yang pulled out the gifts one by one.
