Chapter 1092: 722: Young Master Shan? He Should Be an Instructor! (10,000 Words!) Part 4

As soon as Shuangshuang opened her mouth, she asked. It seemed like seeing Zeng Xiaocheng would naturally lead to seeing Shan Minglang.

Zeng Xiaocheng walked over to Shuangshuang with a smile, picked her up, and sat beside Su Xiaomeng,

"Your Brother Minglang wasn’t willing to go to the United Kingdom with me..."

"Why are you going to the United Kingdom?"

Su Xiaomeng asked curiously.

"Business... several companies are going public in the United Kingdom, I need to check them out."

"Why did you look so down when you came in just now?"

Zeng Xiaocheng shrugged, showing a helpless expression, but said nothing beyond muttering,

"Nothing. Bad weather affects the mood."

Su Xiaomeng could see through the glass of the departure lounge that the outside tarmac was bathed in warm sunshine.

"Did you come alone, or..."

"Minglang brought me here."

"Oh? Minglang brought you here, and you’re not happy?"

Su Xiaomeng smiled, "Do you really want him to always stay by your side?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaocheng couldn’t help but turn to look at Su Xiaomeng... with a look of surprise, he asked,

"You... you know..."

Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows, showing an innocent expression,

"Know what? I don’t know anything..."

Zeng Xiaocheng stared at Su Xiaomeng; her "I don’t know anything" was hardly convincing at all...

"Was... Brother Shixiu who told you?"

Su Xiaomeng looked at Zeng Xiaocheng,

"If I told you I figured it out myself, would you believe it?"

"..."

"I thought it was a bit odd, so later I mentioned it to Shixiu. When Shixiu saw I was so bothered by it, he casually mentioned it."

"..."

Zeng Xiaocheng’s expression slightly changed.

Su Xiaomeng hurriedly said,

"But don’t worry, I haven’t said anything to anyone about your private matters, and I won’t tell anyone."

After hearing this, Zeng Xiaocheng finally breathed a little sigh of relief.

"Can you tell me now... why you looked so down? It can’t be... Young Master Zeng, did you come clean to Minglang?"

Zeng Xiaocheng’s face showed no trace of a smile; you could say it was expressionless...

He said blandly,

"Everyone thinks that Shan Minglang is clueless and understands nothing... but actually, that guy with his carefree attitude understands everything! He understands everything without saying anything."

"There’s no need for me to confess to him... before I even spoke, he had already replied."

Zeng Xiaocheng shrugged...

Seeing Zeng Xiaocheng’s troubled expression, Su Xiaomeng didn’t originally want to involve herself in these two’s affairs.

But she couldn’t suppress her curiosity...

"How did he respond?"

"I’d rather die than be a woman."

Zeng Xiaocheng muttered; just minutes ago, at the boarding area, in the hall, while they embraced, he had hoped to confess, but before he could speak, Shan Minglang had whispered in his ear with a completely different tone than before.

Those ten words were enough to extinguish all his audacious fantasies.

After hearing this, Su Xiaomeng could indeed sense the blow Zeng Xiaocheng had suffered, but...

She sighed in relief to some extent too.

Upon learning from Yin Shixiu that Zeng Xiaocheng indeed differed from them in terms of sexual orientation, as she had suspected, she had been quite worried...

It’s not that she was prejudiced against same-sex love, but... Chinese society hasn’t yet reached the level of acceptance some Western countries have.

Not to mention families like the Yin Family or the Zeng Family...

If Shan Minglang truly had that inclination, wouldn’t the Yin Family and the Zeng Family be swept up in storms?

Su Xiaomeng pat Zeng Xiaocheng’s shoulder,

"Being heartbroken is common, don’t take it too hard."

"Auntie, couldn’t you hear what he meant?"

Zeng Xiaocheng looked at Su Xiaomeng in disbelief.

Su Xiaomeng blinked, thinking to herself, what other meaning could there be; he simply rejected you?

Zeng Xiaocheng looked seriously at Su Xiaomeng,

"He didn’t reject me, and I haven’t been heartbroken! On the contrary, Minglang actually accepted me!"

"Young Master Zeng... where did you get that idea?"

It was now Su Xiaomeng’s turn to look at Zeng Xiaocheng in disbelief.

"He only gave a prerequisite, which is not being a woman."

"Exactly!"

"So as long as he’s not a woman, we can be together!"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng was dumbfounded, blinked, and pointed at Zeng Xiaocheng,

"Don’t, don’t tell me you are..."

"I am not! That’s why this prerequisite is so frustrating!"

Su Xiaomeng exhaled, glanced at him, and thought to herself, well, there you have it...

"But, but..."

"Young Master Zeng... do you need me to hit you with some reality?"

"...Hmm, Auntie, please go ahead..."

"Firstly, Minglang is very straight. I can vouch for that."

"..."

"Secondly, if you dare to try to bend Minglang, Ming Xu will explode on you, really; you know Shan Mingxu is in the Special Forces, right?"
