Paranoid Doctor Only Loves Me-Chapter 35 - 0 Lu Han this old guy likes to go after young

“Hmm, then let’s have all three of those, and add a clay pot trio tofu soup. I’ll also have some steamed rice, thank you, ma’am,” Tang Su suddenly knew exactly what she wanted to eat.

“Sure thing, Miss Tang has quite the appetite. Just wait a moment; it’ll be right out.”

“Mhm.”

“Don’t forget, there are also two pots of osmanthus brew,” Lu Han reminded her just before Lin Jiaojiao left.

“Worry not, I can’t forget.” Lin Jiaojiao was somewhat speechless— he really never forgets to make the girl drink some sweet wine, does he?

Getting her drunk—are you planning on doing something bad?

Men are really all the same, no matter how they look. When it comes to a woman they like, there’s no keeping their thoughts pure.

She had always thought that only men as dense as her Tan at home were the ones driven by their lower half all day.

A man in his forties, and he still leaves her too sore to get out of bed every day.

That’s enough.

Lin Jiaojiao took the order to the kitchen, “Old Tan, move it, make the seafood pot with a savory sauce, not a single chili. Clay pot ribs, clay pot pork intestines, and that eggplant casserole. And one more thing, clay pot trio tofu soup. I’ll go fetch the osmanthus brew.”

“Hey, wifey, is that really Lu Han’s girlfriend?” Old Tan glanced at the pair sitting quite a distance from their kitchen.

“Not today, but who knows, next time she might be,” Lin Jiaojiao was still quite confident in Lu Han’s charm.

“Heh, I’d never have guessed, Lu Han really likes fresh young things, huh? Used to think too highly of him.”

“And you don’t like fresh young things?” Lin Jiaojiao stood with hands on her hips and questioned him. How could he speak about Lu Han that way?

“If you didn’t like fresh young things, would you have followed me from the big city to this backwater to open a small tavern?”

This type of banter between the boss and his wife happened several times each day in their kitchen. The other cooks were already used to it.

After all, even if the two really got into it, by the next day they would be inseparable as ever.

As the saying goes, couples quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of it.

These two were definitely practitioners of that saying.

“Lin Jiaojiao, that’s too much, you know. You’re thirty-five, and I’m only five years older than you.”

“Five years is still something, and it doesn’t change your nature as an old cow.”

“Heh, if I’m an old cow, you’d better not beg for mercy tonight from this old bull—no mercy even if you do beg.”

“…”

Lin Jiaojiao was furious, with so many people in the kitchen, that damn man dared to bring up their private matters.

Seeing Lin Jiaojiao speechless, the certain Mr. Tan with the surname Tan was quite smug.

He turned around to stir-fry the dishes while humming a tune.

The others in the kitchen silently mourned; the boss had only a few good hours left. Once it got dark, who would be begging for mercy was anyone’s guess.

Lin Jiaojiao turned and left the kitchen to the liquor cabinet, where she picked up two bottles of osmanthus wine.

Lin Jiaojiao enjoyed making wine, and because of her interest, Old Tan had invested all his money into this little bar.

Lin Jiaojiao made both flower and fruit wines.

These were low-alcohol drinks similar to fruit beers, of course, there were also those with high alcohol content, packing a strong punch after consumption.

When Lin Jiaojiao served the wine, she also provided salt and pepper peanuts and a platter of marinated snacks.

Such complimentary snacks were a privilege only when Lu Han visited.

“Give them a try.” After putting everything down, Lin Jiaojiao made her exit judiciously, not wanting to disturb the two as they cultivated their relationship.

After Lin Jiaojiao left, Tang Su finally spoke up to explain to Lu Han, “Doctor Lu, please don’t take to heart what the landlady just said. I really… haven’t.”

“Hmm, she’s just the type who enjoys joking. You shouldn’t mind it,” Lu Han nodded.

“I didn’t mind it.”

Inside, Tang Su felt a subtle sense of loss. Lu Han indeed felt the same towards her as he had eight years ago—absolutely nothing.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so composed.

And why did she deny it?

Could she not muster the courage to admit her feelings and then see how Lu Han would react?

If he still felt nothing, wouldn’t that mean she could get over it sooner, sparing herself this anxiety and wild thoughts?

Ah—

What to do?

Her denial meant she didn’t want to face the reality sooner rather than later.

Never mind that, she decided. Tonight, she would go home with Lu Han for dinner; she had to convince her “Empress Dowager” mother to help her.

If her own mother wouldn’t help her, what was she thinking?

Even the method of coercing her mother—the old “cry, make a fuss, then threaten to hang herself”—Tang Su had thought it all through.

It was old-fashioned, but as long as it was effective, it would do.

She would just tell her mother that she had to be with Lu Han in this lifetime; without him, her daughter couldn’t go on living, and she’d leave her mother to deal with it.

Hmph, hmph, hmph—

Lost in the reverie of tonight’s plan, Tang Su was startled by the sudden ring of her phone, jolting her from her daydreams.

It was another unfamiliar number; Tang Su didn’t want to answer and hung up.

After hanging up, the phone rang again; Tang Su, speechless, picked it up and pre-emptively said, “Don’t try to sell me anything, I’m not interested in loans, won’t be attending any events. Is there anything else?”

It was so annoying. The call interrupted her dinner with Lu Han and even spoiled her image in front of him. No matter who was on the other end, they were committing a grave offense.

“…Tang Su, I’m at the entrance of Huanan Hospital. Have you finished your check-up?” Ye Sichen’s voice came through.

“???”

Why had he gone to the hospital too?

“I’m having dinner, I finished the check-up a long time ago.”

“Don’t hang up, Tang Su. Where are you? I’ll come over and find you. I need to talk to you about something important.”

“Ye Sichen, I have nothing important to discuss with you. If you keep harassing me, I’m going to call the police.” Saying that, Tang Su hung up the phone.

How could Ye Sichen be so annoying?

Can’t they just break up and be done with it?

Why was he clinging like gum?

Lu Han, hearing Ye Sichen’s name, felt his eyes grow several degrees colder in an instant. Was this man truly so persistent and unrelenting?
