Gossiping About the Brother-In-Law Who Likes Me [3]
The place that Xu Luoya and Chen Liguo were meeting at was a coffee shop.
Chen Liguo saw Xu Luoya sitting in the corner when pushed open the door. He walked over and sat down opposite Xu Luoya and asked, “What?”
Xu Luoya put a paper bag onto the table and pushed it over to Chen Liguo. “Look.”
Chen Liguo took the bag and found that it was a document about severing ties with the Xu family and a bank card. He asked, “What do you mean by this?”
Xu Luoya smiled indifferently. She said, “The meaning is that in the future, you and the Xu family wonβt have anything to do with each other anymore.”
It must be said that Chen Liguo had no feelings for the Xu family, but in order to cooperate with Xu Luoya, he still put on a sorrowful expression and asked, βDoes Father know that youβre doing this?β
Xu Luoya said, “Since today I was able to ask you to come here, naturally I have Fatherβs consent.”
Chen Liguo revealed a sorrowful expression and with trembling hands, took the documents. With a shaky voice, he said, βAlright, Iβll sign. But I have a question.β
Xu Luoya smiled contemptuously, seemingly knowing what Chen Liguo was going to askββdid father ever truly think of me as his son?
Tears welled up in Chen Linguoβs eyes and asked with a sob, βHow much money is there in this card?β
Xu Luoya heard this question and was stunned for a few moments, she felt as though she must have heard wrong. She asked, βWhat did you say?β
βI said, how much money is there in this card.β Chen Liguo repeated innocently. βWhatβs the password?β
Xu Luoya was speechless.
Chen Liguo asked, βWhatβs wrong?β
Xu Luoya took a breath and then took another breath, seemingly trying to repress her emotions. She said, βThereβs enough for you to use for the rest of your life. The password is six zeros.β
Chen Liguo skimmed the document and found that by taking the money, he was giving up his power to inherit the Xu family’s shares. Then he simply signed his name and put the bank card in his breast pocket.
Cen Liguo asked, βDo you need anything else? If not, Iβm leaving first.β
Xu Luoya said gravely, βDonβt tell me that you really donβt want to ask me why?β
Chen Liguo asked, βWhy what?β
Xu Luoya answered, βWhy I suddenly wanted to sign this agreement with you.β
βWill you tell me?β Chen Liguo asked.

Chen Liguo was in a good mood. He had no interest in the Xu Family, It didn’t matter if he took the card or not. That performance was just for that hateful Xu Luoya. Anyways, once Ran Tongtongβs matter was finished, heβll leave this world.
While thinking this, Chen Liguoβs cell phone rang again. He took a look, and found that is was Ran Qingkongβs numberββyes, he had already memorized it by heart.
Chen Liguo picked up the phone and sounded a ‘hello‘.
βWhere are you?β Ran Qingkongβs voice came from the phone.
βIβm at CC cafe.β Chen Liguo replied. ββ¦β¦Whatβs the matter?β
Ran Qingkong said, βWait, Iβll pick you up.β
Chen Liguo still wanted to ask another question when Ran Qingkong hung up.
Chen Liguo was speechless. Why was today so strange?
Ran Qingkong came very quickly. When Chen Liguo saw him, he made his way over to the car.
Chen Liguo didnβt ask any questions and obediently got in the car.
Ran Qingkongβs mood didnβt seem too good. He seemed to want to smoke, but after he touched his pocket he retracted his hand.
Chen Liguo was keenly aware of Ran Qingkongβs strangeness but didnβt say anything about it.
It was silent for ten minutes until Ran Qingkong suddenly opened his mouth to ask, βAre you going to leave again?β
βGoing. After a few days, Iβll leave again.” Chen Liguo answered casually and did not take Ran Qingkongβs question to heartββhow was he to know about the serious consequences that his answer will bring in the future?
Ran Qingkong heard this and silently turned his head to glance at Chen Liguo. That meaningful stare gave Chen Liguo goosebumps. βWh-what?β
βNothing.β Ran Qingkong turned his gaze back to the front.
After twenty minutes of driving, they finally reached Ran Qingkongβs residence.
Chen Liguo looked at the building outside the car, and an unexplainable excitement bubbled inside him, it was his first time coming to the house of someone he likes, how is he supposed to act? Urgently waiting for answers online.
Ran Qingkong looked at Chen Liguo thoughtfully, seemingly mistaking his excitement as nervousness. He said, βLetβs go, Tongtong isnβt here.β
βOh,β Chen Len pretend to hesitate. βYouβ¦β¦ what do you want?β
βJust inviting you to have a meal.β Ran Qingkongβs soft voice made Chen Liguoβs heart feel itchy.
βThen, Iβll be troubling you.β Chen Liguo looked at Ran Qingkongβs back as he got off the car, his heart overflowing with an indescribable feeling, similar to how he felt when meeting that person from before he started reincarnating to different worlds.
Ran Qingkongβs residence had a simple European style and gave off a slightly cold feeling.
Chen Liguo was a little constrained and he sat on the sofa, only daring to drink water.
“Say, why did Ran Qingkong suddenly invite me to eat.” Chen Liguo was bored and chatted with the system. “Could it be that he likes me?”
The system replied, βLogically, he might want to tell you to stop bothering his sister.β
Chen Liguo was speechless. Ai, reality was so tragic! But then again, to be able to eat Ran Qingkongβs handmade cooking, it was worth it.
With a mindset of βanybody who doesnβt eat only has himself to blameβ, Chen Liguo solemnly sat at the dining table and waited for Ran Qingkong to serve the food.
Ran Qingkong had taken off his suit and wore a white dress shirt underneath that showed his good figure. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pale sturdy arm, and his long fingers seemed to appear even more attractive.
It was too beautiful. Chen Liguoβs eyes followed Ran Qingkong and never left. Most of their contact had only been because of Ran Tongtong, for the two to be alone together was incredibly rare.
However, the relationship between the two of them was not bad and Ran Qingkong’s attitude towards Chen Liguo was also unexpectedly soft.
Everything that Ran Qingkong made was what Chen Liguo liked to eat.
He brought out Sichuan spicy boiled fish, crispy fried dried fish, and light and tender tofu…… Everything looked appealing, and it could be assumed that the taste wouldnβt be bad either.
Chen Liguo beamed and asked, βRan ge, how did you know what I like to eat?β
Ran Qingkong indifferently untied his apron and put it to the side. βI know more than you think.β
Chen Liguo tasted the Sichuan boiled fish. The fish was tender and the flavor was nice and spicy. After taking just a single bite, Chen Liguo revealed a stunned expression and exclaimed, βRan ge, your cooking is really great!β
Ran Qingkong hummed in acknowledgment and helped serve Chen Liguoβs food.
βRan ge, how could I have never known how delicious your cooking is?β Chen Liguo ate a crispy fried fish and sighed. “I really envy your girlfriend.”
Ran Qingkongβs expression didn’t change. βWhen are you leaving?β
Chen Liguo said, “I don’t know…… It depends on the situation.”
Ran Qingkong nodded, got up, and went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine. He asked, “Drink some?”
βAlright.β Chen Liguo smiled brilliantly. Even though he did not like drinking wine, drinking a little bit with Ran Qingkong wouldnβt do any harm.
The red wine flowed into the glass and Ran Qingkong sat down opposite to Chen Liguo. The two looked at each other.
“Ah, speaking of which, I never paid attention before.” Chen Liguo put a piece of fish in his mouth and said, “I never realized beforeβ¦… Ran ge and Ran Tongtong look really similar.”
Chen Liguo didnβt know if it was just his own misconception, once he had said this, Ran Qingkongβs entire person exuded a gloomy air. But when he looked again he found that it seemed to be his own misconception.
βI feel that something is fishy here.β Chen Liguo muttered to the system. βSay, do you think that maybe Ran Qingkong, because I keep on bothering Ran Tongtong, wants to get me drunk to beat me up?β
The system replied, βIf he really wanted to beat you up, do you really think that heβll need to get you drunk?β
Chen Liguo: ββ¦β¦β He couldnβt refute this.
However, although he was telling the system about his worries, Chen Liguoβs action of eating did not falter in the least. Rather, it was Ran Qingkong who did not eat much.
With a cup of red wine in his stomach, Chen Liguoβs face was a little flushed, and he felt a little dizzy. He felt that he mustβve drunk too much because while he was eating he looked over and found that Ran Qingkongβs eyes were brimming with love.
Chen Liguo stunned for a moment and told himself that he drank too much.
βWenyou.β Ran Qingkongβs voice rang softly. He said, βDo you still remember the first time we met?β
Chen Liguo said, “Remember, remember ah.” Ran Qingkong looks so good, how could he ever forget.
“Oh, do tell.” Ran Qingkong said.
βWasnβt it the first day of schoolβ¦β¦β Chen Liguo muttered. βYou were helping Tongtong hold her bag and followed her from behind.β
Ran Qingkong heard Ran Tongtongβs name and was silent for a moment. He swirled the wine in his glass and said, “Sure enough, you forgot.”
If it were the usual Chen Liguo, then he definitely would have realized that something wasn’t right with Ran Qingkong. But he had drunk alcohol and his brain wasnβt working properly so he didnβt perceive Ran Qingkongβs strangeness. He asked vaguely, βWh, whatβ¦… do you mean?β
Ran Qingkong said, “The first time we met, it was that year, on February the seventeenth.”
Chen Liguoβs brain had already stopped working and he stared at Ran Qingkong in a daze. The whole world was spinning.
Ran Qingkong continued, “There was heavy snow that day, you were holding an umbrella and just stared at the Tsing Trade Tower.”
Chen Liguo collapsed on the table.
Ran Qingkong said, “At that time I saw you and thought that this kid was really interesting, Wenyou?”
Chen Liguo wanted to respond, but he couldn’t speak. He realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Ran Qingkong stood up and walked to Chen Liguo’s side. He gently stroked Chen Liguo’s black hair in the same way Chen Liguo would Ran Tongtongβs hair. He said, “I have waited too long. Waited until Iβve almost gone crazy.”
Chen Liguo completely sunk into the darkness.
βThatβs why, Iβm sorry.β
This is my first time reading the novel, so I get giddy whenever I guess the future events correctly. I was giggling like crazy when Chen Liguo drank the wine.
Edit: Not the wine that was drugged, it was the food. Lol.
Edit2: changed “Lies” to “Bang”
thanks 4 the update………
Hope you liked it, π
Aya, he got drugged >.<
ahhhhh!! why such a cliffhanger >n<
thank for the update though :3
Hehe, yeah. Chapter 4 will be out in 14 hours lol.
It was the food not wine that was drugged. I bet my collection of chocolate on it!
Thanks for the update.
Oh, they never explicitly said it so I thought it was the wine, but I guess if it were, Ran Qingkong would have fainted too. Lol, oversight on my part
Ah, give me your chocolate!
Thanks for the great translation π
This should be interesting π
Welp… that turned dark. Thx for the translation!
Oooooohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! promising promising, secret backstory?? i wuv it
ngghhhh yas
he didn’t know wenyou likes him too~~
i’m a bit confused with the talk between wenyou and his sis, because she suddenly yells lies and ..? getting smug and angry both on her own
I think it was because she figured he was lying (bluffing) about how he didn’t want to know why, which ruined her chance to act all high and mighty. Then since she knew what was to come, she felt smug?
Hmmm… is this going to be the cycle?
MC fancies ML but system cckblcks and MC has to fawn on protag.
Ignored by MC, ML suffers in silence until… YANDERE!
If so, I look forward to it.
Take my ticket cause im ON BOARD WITH THIS
Welcome aboard, there are about 140 chapters left to go. If all goes according to plan, we’ll be here until the start of May. If things go according to plan…. (οΏ£β½οΏ£)γ
Thanks for the chapter! πππ
Yandere Alert! My fav type!
Then, it suddenly dawn on me as to why I find this particular this line very, very unusual before.
βThere was heavy snow that day, you were holding an umbrella and just stared at the Tsing Trade Tower.β – Ran Qingkong
Is this the author’s way of throwing itsy bitsy breadcrumbs? The hint. The way of the author going the Da Vinci code us, silly readers? We’ll never know.
And again, thank you for translating this story translator-sama!!!! ΛΜ‘Μ(ββΛαΊΛ)β*β€
going papapa
My whole being just shivered… ML you’re way too scary…
So scary that i just fell in love (η¬ΒΊ θΈΒΊη¬)
Omg! That was surprising!
Thanks for the chapter!
Yes! I had a feeling his food would be drugged too lol. I love guessing right also, makes me feel like I’ve developed special senses xD Which will hopefully translate to real life so I can never be in these situations lmao
βI have waited too long. Waited until Iβve almost gone crazy.β
covers mouth in excitement (β>βͺ<β)
