Chapter 0524

Lin Ran carried Luo Yao out in a grand fashion. Wherever they went, people sneakily peeked at them.

Of course, they only dared to peek from a distance; no one had the nerve to approach.

Nobody expected to be suddenly assaulted by such a massive display of public affection in the middle of a normal workday.

Still, having witnessed Lin Ran and Luo Yao's romance blossom to this point with their own eyes, everyone offered their "sincere blessings" in their hearts.

God, the sour stench of romance is suffocating...

Huatian Plaza.

Surrounded by bodyguards, Lin Ran and Luo Yao walked inside, drawing a massive crowd of onlookers.

Many passersby scrambled for the best angles to snap photos.

Moments later, they had completely dominated the trending topics.

Many netizens frantically gathered information through various channels, and comments blanketed the entire internet.

[Did The Readers Miss Us Netizens?]: Haha, I was wondering what happened! Turns out he’s just carrying his wife around the mall the entire time. I can't even hate on that; he truly is a wife-doting maniac.

[Contact Info = Coitus Practice]: Based on my analysis of the photos, there is a very high probability that Luo Yao is pregnant. Look at how cautious Lin Ran is being—it’s practically confirmed.

[The Sad Simp]: Hmm... they’re force-feeding us dog food, aren't they? Right? Does this count as evidence? Who the hell carries their wife while shopping? Haha, hahaha, hahahaha... I have a friend who...

[360-Year-Old American]: Someone get Lin Ran to livestream the due date! Didn’t he promise to give us time to get in line? I’m destitute in this life, but if I reincarnate as their child in the next, I’m taking back everything I missed out on!

[Even Trump Finds This Ridiculous]: To the guy above, you’ve already failed your next life... Even Marshal Tianpeng messed up his reincarnation coordinates. You think you’re more awesome than a god?

As the online discussion intensified, the young couple, Lin Ran and Luo Yao, once again swept across the entire internet.

They weren't celebrities and usually kept a low profile.

But the moment any news about them appeared, it was like the Yellow River bursting its banks—unstoppable.

Failing to dominate the entire screen would be considered a failure for them.

However, our two protagonists didn't notice at all.

Or rather, even if they had noticed, they wouldn't have cared.

As always:

As long as it's legal, feel free to discuss it.

"Yaoyao, so you came here to buy baby products?"

Luo Yao nodded. "It's time to prepare. Although we might not be able to give the child too much love, we can certainly spend a lot of money on him."

"Hmm... that makes sense. Let's buy out this entire section then," Lin Ran said, pointing to the whole maternal and child zone.

"Okay, I'll listen to Ran."

They had the staff pack up one of every single item in the infant section of Huatian Plaza. They didn't care if their child could use it or even what they were buying.

Since they didn't know what the baby would need, they just bought it all—surely something would be useful.

The couple’s spending habits shocked the entire mall, and many people recorded the scene and posted it online.

In that moment, the spending habits of wealthy tycoons became tangible in the eyes of netizens.

[Such Painful Humiliation]: In the past, I thought the writing style in novels was exaggerated. Now I realize I was just too inexperienced.

[Incurably Cheap, I Am A Real Dog]: Just because you have money means you can waste it like this? Who has a kid that can use all that stuff? It’s simply shameful.

[Goddess Luo Descends on Lin, Charge for Me]: Did they spend your money? If I were rich, I’d waste it like that too; what business is it of yours? Please take your sanctity back to Notre Dame in Paris; China doesn't welcome you.

[Netizens Have Endings Too]: Actually, it’s quite nice. Everyone pursues happiness, joy, and health. Lin Ran is good, Luo Yao is good, and we are good too...

After wandering around, Lin Ran and Luo Yao arrived at the luxury goods area. Lin Ran bought out the inventory of a jewelry store for Luo Yao before they finally exited the mall.

"Ran, I want to eat dessert."

Lin Ran stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, let's go eat."

They walked seemingly casually toward a dessert shop, but before they could enter, they ran into someone unexpected.

A beggar.

Lin Ran actually admired Lin Tianba somewhat. He remembered telling Brother Dao to dump him under a bridge in the downtown area, yet this guy had actually managed to crawl all the way here.

Considering Lin Tianba's current level of disability, squirming this far was truly a miracle.

"Heh, there was a path to heaven you refused to take. Huatian Plaza is my territory; how can I allow this kind of trash to appear here?"

Lin Ran looked from a distance at Lin Tianba, who was currently "feeding," with a look of displeasure.

"Throw him out."

After giving the order, Lin Ran led Luo Yao into the dessert shop.

Just as Lin Tianba was lying on the ground, burying his head to gnaw on leftover rice someone had given him in a broken bowl, two bodyguards appeared.

One of the bodyguards pulled out an extendable baton, squatted down, and knocked over Lin Tianba's broken bowl.

Lin Tianba stared blankly at the leftovers spilling out, then stared blankly at the bodyguard squatting in front of him, then at the bowl, then at the bodyguard...

The bodyguard poked the baton against Lin Tianba's nose.

"Still eating? I'm here to collect you~"

Lin Tianba: "Ah~~"

"Get lost immediately. Is this a place where you can beg?"

Lin Tianba recognized the two men before him as Lin Ran's bodyguards. He was forced to start squirming away, though his speed was incredibly slow. He muttered as he crawled.

"My... my rebellious son... is your boss... rebellious son... kneel... apologize... I'm starving..."

The "rebellious son" Lin Tianba spoke of had already taken his beloved wife into the dessert shop to casually select two pastries.

The shop was currently devoid of other customers, as the bodyguards had cleared the area using "Grandpa Maos."

The couple found a very cozy spot on the second floor to enjoy themselves.

Lin Ran fed Luo Yao a bite of strawberry cheesecake, and she felt incredibly sweet inside.

"Eating too much dessert will make me fat. Will Ran still like a fat version of me?"

Lin Ran fed her a bite of the other dessert, a tiramisu, and spoke as he did so.

"I will. I love every version of Yaoyao."

Luo Yao's eyes curved into crescents; she ate carefully and happily.

"Ran, you eat some too."

Lin Ran smiled and nodded. "After my wife finishes, I'll eat."

He didn't know when it had started, but Lin Ran had gotten into the habit of saving the things Luo Yao liked for her.

They clearly had the means to buy every dessert in existence and eat until they burst, but Lin Ran just loved the feeling of having only one portion and letting Luo Yao have it first.

Perhaps this was also a form of love.

Luo Yao dug out a spoonful and offered it to Lin Ran. He opened his mouth to accept it.

It melted in his mouth, very sweet.

The two of them continued, taking turns feeding each other bite by bite.
