192 Getting Used to Her Existence
At that moment, Luo Jin’an held a chess piece tightly. If one paid close attention, one could see how tightly he clenched his fingers.
Mr. Kong noticed his master’s appearance when he returned to his senses. He knew how worried Luo Jin’an was.
If Luo Jin’an were not affected by the cold poison, Mr. Kong had no doubt his master would ride straight to the capital to protect his wife. However, his master could only rest until he got better.
Luo Jin’an could not use force for the time being as the cold poison had inhibited his true potential.
Now that Su Binglan was around, Luo Jin’an’s health had improved, so Mr. Kong hoped Miss Su would return safely because Luo Jin’an could recover fully.
Su Binglan was a magical person, yet she was a country girl. She could cook good food, practice medicine, and ride a horse. Moreover, she rode a horse better than an expert.
Mr. Kong had never seen the delicacies Su Binglan made and was so picky about his meals that he told people to buy two big bowls of haggis soup for him during his lunch breaks.
He also heard that Su Binglan was so talented in medical skills that she even revived the dead. To be honest, Mr. Kong would be satisfied if Su Binglan were always sincere to Luo Jin’an.
With someone like Su Binglan by Luo Jin’an’s side, Luo Jin’an could recover physically and exact his revenge as long as Su Binglan protected him.
The responsibilities on Luo Jin’an’s shoulders were too heavy to bear alone, and even Mr. Kong was worried about him. Recently, Mr. Kong’s master, Luo Jin’an, had hidden many things in his heart as his thoughts were deep and heavy.
Still, Mr. Kong knew his master was good. Luo Jin’an resembled the mountain snow, like a breeze through bamboo. Unlike before, he often smiled, making others feel like they were basking in the spring breeze.
Now, Luo Jin’an had a grim expression and a cold aura. It would be perfect if Su Binglan could also cure his heart. Mr. Kong sighed emotionally and said, “Master, please have lunch at my place today.”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “There’s no need. I will take Xuexuan and Xuehao to the shop for lunch.”
Su Binglan had told him to go to the family’s shop for lunch if he needed something to eat. Her family’s dishes were cleaner and more delicious than those made outside.
Looking at Luo Jin’an, Mr. Kong thought Luo Jin’an wanted to be somewhere Su Binglan frequented because it would remind him of his wife. Mr. Kong could understand how his master felt since he had been in a similar situation.
When Luo Jin’an exited Mr. Kong’s study, someone said to him, “Luo Jin’an, someone is here to deliver lunch to you. It seems to be someone your wife had sent. I sent him to your dormitory because I didn’t know where you were.”
It was Li Bin, Luo Jin’an’s classmate. He was the one who led Su Binglan to Luo Jin’an when she came to deliver lunch once.
Li Bin usually studied with Luo Jin’an on weekdays and was the only one who asked him for advice because he knew Luo Jin’an was knowledgeable.
However, a knowledgeable person like Luo Jin’an should be in the first class, and Li Bin wondered how Luo Jin’an ended up in the third class. Still, that did not stop Li Bin from admiring Luo Jin’an.
Li Bin happened to see someone delivering food and asked the person if he was looking for Luo Jin’an. Then he led the person to Luo Jin’an’s dormitory, not expecting to bump into him at Mr. Kong’s study.
Luo Jin’an said softly, “Thank you.” With that, he quickly walked to his dormitory.
Lin, the attendant, overheard the conversation when he entered Mr. Kong’s study. He looked at Mr. Kong and said, “Miss Su dedicates herself to our master. She had already left yet still arranged for someone to deliver food to him.”
Mr. Kong responded, “Miss Su is a dedicated and excellent person. She delivers lunch to our master every day. Even so, the dishes are always different and smell so good.”
The two were relieved that someone like Su Binglan was there for their master.
Luo Jin’an was quick and soon arrived at his dormitory. At this time, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were playing around in the dormitory.
Li Shi put the lunch box on a table when he saw Luo Jin’an. He respectfully greeted Luo Jin’an, “Hello, Young Master Luo.”
He called Luo Jin’an “young master” because he was his boss’s husband. Li Shi wanted to be respectful when he saw Luo Jin’an.
Li Shi, Zhou Shan, and Lin Zheng had met Luo Jin’an during the shops’ grand opening. Li Shi always thought his boss and Young Master Luo possessed a unique aura.
Li Shi could feel Young Master Luo’s potent aura whenever he was in front of him. Li Shi felt restrained and dared not speak recklessly.
“Why did my wife tell you to send us lunch?” Luo Jin’an asked.
Li Shi answered honestly, “My boss made lunch in the morning and packed them in these boxes. She said you will be on a lunch break at noon and told me to deliver these to you.”
Luo Jin’an looked at Li Shi and asked, “Did she say anything else?”
After carefully thinking, Li Shi said, “Well, she gave us some instructions about the shop, but nothing else other than that.”
“Okay,” Luo Jin’an replied briefly.
Li Shi looked at Luo Jin’an’s expression and could not guess what he was thinking. He only felt the atmosphere in the dormitory becoming heavier.
“If there’s nothing else, I shall return to the shop now, Young Master Luo.”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “Carry on.”
Li Shi felt relieved when he heard that. After exiting the dormitory, he heaved a long sigh.
‘As expected of my boss’s husband. He’s genuinely different from others.’
Li Shi felt uncomfortable, and his legs were weak when he talked to Young Master Luo. It turned out that delivering lunch to Young Master Luo was not as easy as Li Shi thought.
Still, he had to keep an eye on the shop for his boss when he returned.
…
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were not as interested in eating as they usually were this time. They only looked toward the door pitifully.
Luo Jin’an softly said to them, “Wash your hands, and let’s eat together.”
The two little ones were obedient toward Luo Jin’an. They got down from their chairs and went to the basin to wash their hands.
Although the little ones studied at the academy, Attendant Lin usually took care of them.
Earlier, Luo Jin’an visited Mr. Kong’s study, so Attendant Lin fetched some water and sent it to Luo Jin’an’s dormitory so it would be convenient for Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai to wash their hands.
After the trio washed their hands, Luo Jin’an poured the water out and fetched more water from the tank. Then he removed the dishes from the boxes and neatly arranged them on the table.
Luo Jin’an looked at the sumptuous dishes and stopped moving abruptly.
Su Xuexuan asked, “Uncle Jin’an, when will Aunt Binglan return?”
Su Xuehai was not his typical lively self. “I miss Aunt Binglan.”
The two were used to their aunt delivering lunch at noon.
Luo Jin’an sighed inwardly, ‘As expected, getting used to something has its downside.’
“Your aunt will be back before you know it. You must eat well, or your aunt will worry, okay?”
Su Xuexuan and his little brother nodded and started eating, but Luo Jin’an did not eat much.
Su Xuexuan asked, “Uncle Jin’an, why aren’t you eating?”
