Novel Full Ruan Yang smiled and ignored him. She knew that he couldn’t understand. No matter what, in order to preserve face for Song Chuyi, she couldn’t be too direct. Otherwise, he would be placed in a difficult position.
Ruan Yang drove slower and after driving for more than half an hour, Li Shaobin started complaining. “You’re driving too slowly. I don’t think you’re even at 40km/h. If it were me, I would just go over 60 km/h.”
“There aren’t a lot of cars out on the road at night, but it would still be dangerous if a pedestrian popped out from nowhere.” Ruan Yang glanced at him. “You’ve already been in a car accident. Why can’t you learn your lesson? I’ve already wanted to talk to you about it. I’ve taken rides from you several times. You drive too quickly.”
“I’m used to driving quickly; I don’t like it slow,” Li Shaobin said.
“What’s so bad about driving slowly?” Ruan Yang thought for a while and said, “It’s like this—if I drive slower, we would have an additional 20 minutes to spend with each other in the car. You keep asking me to drive quickly—is it because you don’t want to be with me like this?”
Li Shaobin was already feeling lightheaded from the alcohol. Now that he heard that, he felt as though he was floating in the air. It was unreal. “Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? Then drive slower. 40km/h is too fast. You can drive at 20km/h or even 10km/h.”
Ruan Yang laughed. “Then that’s too slow. It would be terrible to obstruct traffic. Don’t drive too quickly in the future. If something happened to you, what would happen to me? Wouldn’t I have to change boyfriends?”
“You’re not allowed to change boyfriends.” Li Shaobin glared with his dark eyes.
“Yeah. I don’t want to, so you have to drive slower.” Ruan Yang sighed slowly. “When you get into an accident, it’s easy to become disabled or disfigured. Tell me, if you’re disabled, you wouldn’t even be able to take care of me. Then I’d have to reconsider things.”
“Consider your head.” Li Shaobin felt gloomy for a while before he said softly, “I won’t drive so quickly in the future.”
“Mm, that should be the way.” Ruan Yang curled her lips up secretly.
…
When they arrived at the entrance of his villa, Ruan Yang stopped the car by the side of the road. Li Shaobin undid his seatbelt reluctantly. At that moment, he could really appreciate her slow driving. “Ruan Yang, why don’t you wait here for me for a while? I’ll go in, brush my teeth, and come out to kiss you.”
“…” Ruan Yang was speechless for a long time. “Is there a need for you to resort to this?”
“Yes.” Li Shaobin nodded. “I brush very quickly.”
“Forget it. Don’t brush your teeth,” Ruan Yang suddenly said. “Let’s just kiss.”
“Just kiss…” Li Shaobin’s eyes lit up suddenly like a pair of wolf’s eyes in the wilderness. “Ruan Yang, that’s a good idea. I concur.”
Ruan Yang: “…”
Li Shaobin was a little shy. He closed his eyes as his heart raced and he pressed his lips on hers.
Ruan Yang could immediately smell the strong smell of alcohol. She wrinkled her nose and endured it.
Li Shaobin, however, didn’t smell any alcohol. All he could smell was her fragrance. He leaned half of his body over, and during the twists and turns, he could indistinctly feel a strand of her hair.
He swept that strand of hair away with one hand and grazed past her soft cheek so he couldn’t help but caress her little face with his big palm fondly.
Ruan Yang grew numb from his caress and became weak, allowing him to deepen the kiss.
She only pushed him away when she became breathless from the kiss.
Li Shaobin pressed his lips together. He wanted to ask Ruan Yang to sleep over at his villa but he suppressed the urge.
“It’s getting late. Go in quickly.” After a long while, Ruan Yang broke the silence. Her voice sounded slightly husky.
Li Shaobin nodded. “Then you have to take care too. Drop me a message when you get home. I’ll wait in the courtyard for the light to turn on on your side.”
Ruan Yang felt a sense of warmth surging up in her heart. “It’s okay; the weather is cold nowadays. It’s not very far—I’ll be fine.”
Li Shaobin shook his head and insisted on waiting for her.
Ruan Yang had no choice but to drive off first. When she had just arrived in the car park, Changqing called. She asked excitedly, “Ruan Yang, Ruan Yang, what did you think of Dr. Zheng tonight?”
Knew it…
Ruan Yang sighed helplessly.
Changqing thought she was unhappy and Changqing said nervously, “Ruan Yang, although Dr. Zheng is a doctor, his family background is very good. Both his parents run companies and his family is very wealthy. A little like Chuchu. I think choosing CEOs and all that isn’t very reliable. Doctors are actually better. The most important thing is that Chuchu said he’s a good person and can be trusted. The most, most important thing is that you’re his goddess. He likes you a lot. When I heard that he wanted to get to know you, I was super happy.”
“Mm…” Ruan Yang replied simply. “When we were chatting tonight, I felt like he wasn’t a bad person, but I don’t want to find a partner right now.”
When Changqing heard that, she was disappointed. She thought there would be a small chance. Dr. Zheng was someone she chose after deliberating for a very long time. “Why don’t you want to find a partner? Were you traumatized by Xin Ziao’s incident? Let me tell you that there are a lot of nice guys out there.”
“I know. Maybe I don’t really like people who are introduced to me. I prefer getting to know people by myself,” Ruan Yang said gently. “Anyway, I understand your intention and tonight’s dinner was also very sumptuous. Let’s have a meal again the next time.”
“Sure.” Changqing ended the call regretfully.
She turned back and climbed sadly onto Song Chuchu, who was reading in bed. “Chuchu, it seems like Ruan Yang isn’t interested in Dr. Zheng. What did Dr. Zheng say?”
“I didn’t ask,” Song Chuyi said lazily.
“Why didn’t you ask?” Changqing nudged him unhappily.
“I’m not like you women who are always so interested in such gossip. If he’s interested, he’ll contact her privately.” Song Chuyi flipped to the next page. “Besides, I don’t think Ruan Yang is very interested in Dr. Zheng.”
“You could tell?” Changqing exclaimed. Chuchu was impressive. She couldn’t even tell.
“Mm.”
Changqing was depressed. “The 18-year-old Ruan Yang likes someone like that. Aye, Brother Shaobin was also a little weird tonight. He was so rude and he seemed to dislike Dr. Zheng.”
“He’s often weird like that. Maybe he was in a bad mood.” Just as Song Chuyi finished saying that, Dr. Zheng called.
Changqing looked at the phone nervously while Song Chuyi picked it up and put it on speaker calmly. “Chongbing, you’re home?”
“Yeah, I just showered,” Zheng Chongbing said with a smile. “Chuyi, thanks to you, I got to meet Ruan Yang personally and even had a chat with her. That’s so unbelievable. I find her pretty nice and she seems even friendlier in real life.”
Song Chuyi smiled lightly. Zheng Chongbing hesitated for a while and said, “But is your brother…. also fond of Ruan Yang?”
Song Chuyi was stunned. “Who?”
“Li Shaobin.”
“Him?” Song Chuyi was stunned for a moment before he let out a laugh. “How is that possible?”
“He seemed quite hostile to me tonight and he kept stealing glances at Ruan Yang, so I thought he liked Ruan Yang,” Zheng Chongbing said.
Song Chuyi and Changqing exchanged glances for a few seconds before he said, “That’s impossible. I think Shaobin found a girlfriend recently.”
“That’s great,” Zheng Chongbing said. “In any case, it’s already great that I could meet Ruan Yang through you. I’ll take over from here.”
“Sure.” Song Chuyi hung up. Changqing felt really bad. “It seems like this Dr. Zheng is pretty interested in Ruan Yang.”
“He isn’t a thick-skinned person. If Ruan Yang doesn’t like him, he won’t pester her.” Song Chuyi hugged her.
Changqing mumbled, “Dr. Zheng actually said that Brother Shaobin likes Ruan Yang, really. There would only be something going on between those two if the sun rose from the west.”
“I think so too.” Song Chuyi had never thought about that. “I was afraid he kept looking at Ruan Yang because he was reminded of Xin Ziao.”
—————————
In the villa, Li Shaobin stood in his yard in the cold wind as he called Ruan Yang. He didn’t manage to get through several times. “Who were you on the phone with just now? I couldn’t get through. Don’t tell me it was that doctor.”
“No, it was Changqing,” Ruan Yang said. “I just opened my door; your call was too timely.”
“Of course. I’ve been standing in the yard waiting for the lights to go on at your side,” Li Shaobin said with a chuckle. “I’m about to become dumb because of the cold.”
Ruan Yang walked to the balcony and looked over at the villa by the lake. She felt a surge of warmth, and after a while, she said softly, “Dumbo, go to sleep quickly.”
“Mm. Can you give me a kiss?” Li Shaobin said.
Ruan Yang’s face heated up once again. Could this man get any more mushy? “Didn’t I just kiss you? Besides, how am I supposed to kiss you through the phone?”
“Like this.” Li Shaobin made several kissing sounds through the phone.
Ruan Yang’s ears heated up. She wasn’t as shameless as him.
“Quickly. If you don’t give me a few muahs, I’m not going in.” Li Shaobin snorted.
“Then don’t go in. You can freeze to death.” Ruan Yang couldn’t be bothered with him and hung up straight away.
Not long later, she received a message notification. Li Shaobin had sent her a string of kisses.
When she saw that, she broke out into a smile for a while. She couldn’t help but feel the sweetness from him and she replied with a kiss too.
