Chapter 785: Chapter 591: She Is a Woman, But Not Your Woman! (Second Update)

But at the thought that if Su Xiaomeng remarried to someone else, she would no longer be his little aunt, would no longer be part of his family...

Shan Minglang’s heart felt like it was pricked by needles, extremely uncomfortable.

To Ming Lang, Su Xiaomeng was both an elder and a friend. He liked her and respected her, just like he did with his uncle.

When Su Xiaomeng heard Ming Lang ask like that, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and when she looked back at Ming Lang, her expression was also dumbfounded...

"Ming Lang, you—"

"Ming Lang?!"

Just when Su Xiaomeng wanted to say something, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Zeng Xiaocheng rushed in, looking around anxiously. Seeing Shan Minglang standing next to Su Xiaomeng, the anxious look on his face finally faded a little.

Shan Minglang looked up and saw Zeng Xiaocheng with sweat all over his head, shaking it so much that the sweat flicked off with his hair...

"What are you doing?"

"Hehe..."

Zeng Xiaocheng panted heavily while laughing "hehe" twice, causing Su Xiaomeng and Shan Minglang to exchange a glance, both feeling a bit of a chill down their backs.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Shan Minglang frowned and asked, his heart was just as anxious.

Zeng Xiaocheng pulled two ticket-like things out of his pocket,

"The concert you wanted to see, I got the tickets!"

"Really?"

Shan Minglang’s eyes lit up, and he rushed over to take the concert tickets from Zeng Xiaocheng’s hand, then patted Zeng Xiaocheng’s shoulder hard,

"Zeng Xiaocheng, you’re awesome! Thanks! I’ll send you the money later!"

"Eh... what money are you talking about between us? Aren’t we buddies?"

"Yeah, yeah, buddies, buddies!"

Ming Lang agreed, while Su Xiaomeng felt that his agreement seemed quite insincere.

But Zeng Xiaocheng appeared to really enjoy it, looking all proud and happy.

"Tickets for 7 p.m., the best seats. Let’s go."

Zeng Xiaocheng said.

Shan Minglang got the concert tickets and was overjoyed. The question he was interrupted by Zeng Xiaocheng had already slipped his mind.

"Aunt, we’ll chat later. I’m heading out first!"

Zeng Xiaocheng wiped his sweat and smiled at Su Xiaomeng,

"Sister-in-law, I’m leaving too!"

"...Oh."

Su Xiaomeng replied and then smiled.

Watching these two big boys, they looked just like teenagers.

Zeng Xiaocheng and Shan Minglang left the Yin Building together, both having driven their cars over.

"You leave your car here and ride with me; tomorrow, you bring the food, and I’ll pick you up, then drop you off."

Zeng Xiaocheng suggested.

Shan Minglang seemed a little confused,

"No, if I leave my car here, how will I get to the concert later?"

"Don’t I have a car?"

"What about Fu Sheng?"

"..."

Zeng Xiaocheng was stunned for a moment. Shan Minglang’s girl, Fu Sheng, was someone Zeng Xiaocheng often heard Ming Lang mention.

Previously, when Ming Lang talked about her, it was mostly about Fu Sheng and her officer brother, and he always called her "Sister-in-law Fu Sheng".

So he didn’t pay much attention.

Lately, when brought up, Ming Lang had dropped the "Sister-in-law" part and rarely mentioned Fu Sheng and Shan Mingxu anymore.

"Fu Sheng?"

"Yes, aren’t there only two tickets? This concert is what Fu Sheng wanted to listen to; the tickets were just too tight, and without booking in advance, there would be none available. Fortunately, you managed to get the tickets for the same day!"

Shan Minglang went on praising Zeng Xiaocheng.

Originally, Zeng Xiaocheng thought he would be pleased with such a compliment, but unexpectedly—

"You’ve been chanting about this concert seventy times an hour, and it turns out it wasn’t you who wanted to listen, but the woman living with you?!"

"I want to listen, too, but mainly it’s for Fu Sheng."

"..."

For a split second, Zeng Xiaocheng felt as though all the sweat he’d shed was in vain.

At the ticket office, he had to go through connections to get the information of the best seat reserver, and then he personally bought the tickets from them at several times the price.

This was the last performance of the concert tonight.

He was afraid that if he entrusted it to someone else, something would go wrong, so he went directly to get the contact information from the ticket office.

But as it turned out...

Shan Minglang said that the concert tickets were for that woman...

Ming Lang saw Zeng Xiaocheng’s face turning blue and green, blinked, seemed to notice something, but was still more puzzled...

"These tickets... aren’t for me?"

"Of course, they’re for you!"

"Then... why do you look like you just ate crap?"

Shan Minglang spoke without thinking.

Zeng Xiaocheng felt stuck with words he couldn’t express,

They stood gazing at each other for quite a while in the parking lot...

Zeng Xiaocheng mumbled something, acknowledged his loss internally, and then grumbled,

"So... you plan to go to the concert with Fu Sheng alone tonight?"

"What else?"

Shan Minglang seemed completely oblivious, which really irked Zeng Xiaocheng, "Fu Sheng has been a bit down lately, and I don’t know what my brother said to her before leaving, but it feels like she’s become distant from the family."

"... None of my business."

"What did you say?"

"None of my business."

"..."

"No... I meant..."

Zeng Xiaocheng’s gaze wandered around, unable to land anywhere for a long time, mumbling,

"I thought this concert was for the two of us to see together..."

"..."

Shan Minglang blinked, faced with Zeng Xiaocheng’s inexplicable expression, pointed to himself and then to him,

"Us two? Two grown men? Going to a concert so full of love themes?"

Shan Minglang leaned forward, looking shocked.

"Well, why can you and that... Fu Sheng go to such a... ah? Love-themed... ah? concert?"

"Fu Sheng is a girl, that’s enough."

"She’s a girl but she’s not your girl! Shan Minglang, have you figured it out?"

"..."

Shan Minglang furrowed his brow, looking somewhat impatiently at Zeng Xiaocheng, fell silent for a moment, and then asked again,

"The tickets, are they for me?"

"...Yes."

"That’s it, I’m off."

Shan Minglang waved his hand, took a couple of steps forward, got in his car, and drove off.

Zeng Xiaocheng stood there, extremely annoyed, kicked his own car!

Watching the car drive away, he ground his teeth and pouted, smirked slyly with his large peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, showing a hint of mischief...

Planning a two-person world? Dream on!

That Fu Sheng or not, he wanted to see what that woman looked like for Shan Minglang to be so compassionate and caring towards.

————

At 7 p.m., as Shan Minglang and Fu Sheng took their best seats in the concert hall, Ming Lang saw another impeccably dressed, handsome man sitting beside him.

Upon a closer look...

"Oh, dressed so decently, I almost didn’t recognize you. Weren’t there only two tickets?"

Shan Minglang blinked, confusedly asking.

Zeng Xiaocheng sat in his chair, arms crossed, pouting like a tsundere middle-schooler, sulking left and right, making Ming Lang shiver,

"What are you doing?"

"Hmph!"

Zeng Xiaocheng remained silent, staring straight ahead... Jeez, this woman was just too gorgeous!

The lights dimmed, and Shan Minglang couldn’t make sense of Zeng Xiaocheng’s thoughts, so he had no choice but to sit down.

He initially wanted to introduce Fu Sheng, but now, it seemed better not to let Fu Sheng find out he had such a tsundere middle-school friend.

Fu Sheng had already noticed Zeng Xiaocheng when she approached the seats with Ming Lang.

Zeng Xiaocheng kept staring at her...

Initially perplexed, but now...

Fu Sheng had a vague sense of something, but she felt it was unlikely.

After sitting down, Ming Lang didn’t introduce them, so Fu Sheng stayed silent.
