Chapter 178 I'm Not a Normal Person
For a moment, Li Tingxue didn't know how to react, and her face showed a look of being both amused and exasperated.
She couldn't help but wonder: What kind of situation is this? It's like she's the one who's going to keep a gigolo! This plot is clearly not going in the right direction!
Jiang Mianmian didn't give Li Tingxue a chance to explain further. She simply waved her hand casually, not caring at all what Li Tingxue was about to say.
Everyone has their own way of life, so I naturally won't force others to do things according to their ideas.
As long as the young couple feels there's no problem, she, as the mother-in-law, naturally won't have any other thoughts.
Seeing Jiang Mianmian's attitude, Li Tingxue felt speechless.
She was truly heartbroken!
With the heavens above and the earth below, she could swear to the sun, moon, and stars that she had never entertained such an absurd thought as keeping a gigolo!
After all, her relationship with Shen Xiuyan had always been inseparable and sweet, so how could she have such thoughts?
Seeing that the matter was beyond explanation, Li Tingxue felt utterly helpless.
However, her mood did not last long, because the next moment, all her attention was drawn to Luo Yuchuan who suddenly appeared.
Luo Yuchuan was carrying a large basket filled with all kinds of flowers in his left hand and a large bouquet of roses in his right hand.
His figure slowly entered the room, seemingly radiating light, appearing exceptionally tall and imposing amidst the interplay of light and shadow.
His already exceptionally handsome face exuded an irresistible charm at this moment, so strikingly handsome that even the delicate and beautiful roses paled in comparison.
She fled, he chased; he made sure she couldn't escape. First he broke her arm, then her leg; chains bound her neck, a form of imprisonment.
Just as Li Tingxue was about to compliment the person in front of her on his good looks, a chill suddenly rose from her back, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
[Tsk tsk tsk! Look at that V-shaped waist...]
Li Tingxue's gaze followed her mother-in-law's words uncontrollably, her eyes moving downwards towards Luo Yuchuan's body, looking at his strong and powerful waistline and long, straight legs.
[And those long legs below the kidneys... why doesn't she like them?]
Immediately, as if she had thought of something terrible, Li Tingxue shook her head quickly, thinking to herself:
Seriously, Mother-in-law! What normal person would want to be around a lunatic?
This is real life, not some romance novel where beautiful love stories can't be shown.
At this moment, Li Tingxue dared not look at Luo Yuchuan anymore. Her eyes wandered around, but she dared not meet Luo Yuchuan's eyes.
Not only that, she also quietly moved a few feet and leaned against the two guards standing behind her, as if only in this way could she find some sense of security.
Sigh! But then again, what woman would fall for a fanatic? He's not mentally ill!
[You know, any normal person would choose to stay away from someone with such an extreme personality!]
Li Tingxue was nodding frantically in agreement: Yes, yes, I'm not crazy!
How could I possibly like a man like that!
Oh, so now I know what a paranoiac really is?
[It turns out that paranoia is not just simple suspicion. It is actually a type of chronic delusional disorder, similar to things like sexism, jealousy, and grandiosity.]
They can only be considered fanatics, just a small fraction of them.
The most typical characteristic is that paranoid individuals always believe their spouses are unfaithful.
Imagine a woman who was initially attracted to a man's handsome appearance and supposed devotion.
After all, a man who seems willing to do anything for you is practically the perfect lover—a total romantic at heart. What woman wouldn't like that?
However, the key point is that being a fanatic and being love-struck are completely different things!
[Once a person with a "love-struck" mindset falls in love with you, they will never doubt you, and they will think everything you say and do is right.]
[But paranoiacs are different. No matter how sincerely you treat them, they will still "firmly believe that their spouse is unfaithful to them."]
When you deeply love this man, he not only shows no appreciation, but also constantly doubts and suspects you, even resorting to various forms of stalking and harassment.
If this continues for too long, even the most patient person would eventually find it unbearable and become afraid.
Hearing this, Li Tingxue looked at Luo Yuchuan in disbelief: "..."
How can this be? !
I am a married woman with a husband, so how could I do such an unfaithful and unjust thing under these circumstances?
How could she possibly have an emotional affair and fall for another man?
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue's eyes widened suddenly, and she instantly looked at Jiang Mianmian beside her. She felt a trace of doubt in her heart, thinking that Jiang Mianmian was "slandering" her.
Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Madam, I am the new gardener Luo Yuchuan. The steward told me that you would like to select some flowers to take back to the mansion. I wonder if you would like these flowers I picked?"
Hearing the sound, Li Tingxue looked over, her gaze lingering on Luo Yuchuan for a moment before shifting away, silently muttering to herself:
Hmph, this guy isn't her type!
He still prefers his husband's type, with a deep and magnetic voice, especially when they're in bed together...
Oh my! Just thinking about it makes her weak in the knees and her heart flutter!
Cough!
She coughed lightly twice to hide her shyness.
"It's okay."
Jiang Mianmian wasn't particularly interested in the flowers in front of her. What she really cared about wasn't the flowers, but the people!
She casually pointed in a certain direction, then turned to Luo Yuchuan and gave him an order:
"Please help me select a few flower branches here, and trim off all the thorns and excess leaves. Once they're all arranged, it will be easier for me to take them with me when I leave."
"Okay, ma'am!"
Luo Yuchuan didn't suspect anything and readily agreed.
He carried a large flower basket in his right hand and held roses in his arms. He walked quickly to the window, took a sharp pair of scissors from the butler, and began to carefully trim the flower branches.
He methodically arranged the flowers in front of him, while turning to Jiang Mianmian to ask if she preferred the larger blooms or the buds.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Mianmian replied, "Hmm... I hope to leave them for a few more days, so you can cut them according to this method!"
It's okay if I cut off a few more; I'm planning to use a few more vases to arrange the flowers when I get home anyway.
Standing to the side, Li Tingxue silently observed the distance between Luo Yuchuan and her, and secretly breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, the distance between them wasn't too close.
It seems that this man surnamed Luo is someone who knows his place and proper etiquette, and understands that in broad daylight and with everyone watching, he shouldn't get too close to me and should keep his distance.
However, just as Li Tingxue was thinking this, Luo Yuchuan suddenly turned his head and looked at her, asking, "Madam, what type of flowers do you prefer?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue's body stiffened abruptly, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure and responded.
"Um... I don't really like roses, and I don't appreciate other flowers either."
Mmmmmmm!
Yes, yes, that’s it!
Because in her heart, she dislikes all flowers except those given by her husband!
Upon hearing her words, Luo Yuchuan exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? There are actually people who don't like these beautiful flowers? You know, these flowers are quite gorgeous!"
These flowers are simply works of art meticulously sculpted by nature; each petal seems to be imbued with the vitality of life.
Their vibrant colors and exquisite beauty, like dazzling gems embedded in emerald green leaves, exude a captivating glow and fragrance, making them irresistible.
How could anyone not be captivated by such a beautiful and moving sight?
Li Tingxue felt uneasy because just now, in front of her mother-in-law, the man beside her had uttered such words of praise.
God!
At this moment, Li Tingxue really wanted to punch Luo Yuchuan a few times to shut his talkative mouth.
She quickly glanced at Jiang Mianmian beside her, afraid that she might misunderstand.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Jiang Mianmian drinking juice and looking at the flowers outside the window, as if she hadn't heard their conversation at all.
Uh...what is going on?
Li Tingxue was immediately confused. They were just chatting together, how come her mother-in-law suddenly became distracted?
Just as she was about to speak to her mother-in-law, she suddenly heard a series of sounds from Jiang Mianmian:
[Tsk tsk tsk...]
[I knew it! What normal person would provoke those paranoids? Turns out it was her!]
Uh……
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue asked: Am I not a normal person?
