Yi Ling was doing great now; she did not want her to get involved with the disputes in her past life.
It remained unknown when she would say and be willing to unfold all her unbearable past to Lu Yi. For all she knew it might take very long, it could be very soon, or maybe she would never tell him.
“What if I don’t say it forever?” Yan Huan played with the button on Lu Yi’s shirt. Her eyes were swimming in tears, cutting off her fortime and swallowing her past.
“Then don’t say it,” Lu Yi brushed her face lightly with his finger. “But you must let me know if you run into a situation similar to that of Serene City in the future. Did you know how dangerous it was? It was possible that you and Dad would have died at that place.”
“Yeah, I know, I won’t do it again,” Yan Huan listened to his teaching. I dare not do it again. Moreover, she lifted both her legs and stepped on Lu Yi’s feet, “You think the earthquake will occur so frequently? I’ve only encountered once in my past life…”
She immediately held her tongue upon saying this. She kept rolling her eyes, trying to mend it but it was irremediable.
“Hmm, past life?” Lu Yi squinted his eyes and said the two words lightly. Nonetheless, the threatening tone in his voice was quite strong.
I didn’t say anything, Yan Huan feigned ignorance. Yeah, I didn’t say anything, right?
However, Lu Yi did not plan to let her go easily, he turned her face so that she was looking at his eyes. He was not stupid nor blind; he could tell whether she was lying.
Such careless words must be true. No, Yan Huan’s careless words are what she has been hiding all this time.
Lu Yi instinctively thought that Yan Huan might have a gift of being a prophet, but in actual fact she did not. To his surprise, she might actually be…
“You are reborn?” Lu Yi asked in another way. He was well aware of Yan Huan’s nature, she would never breathe a word if he did not ask directly.
Yan Huan blinked her eyes and pulled Lu Yi’s button again.
“Lu Yi, honey, how did you come across the word of rebirth? You’re a prosecutor, don’t tell me you like to read those novels that are full of cliche written by little girls?”
What time traveling, rebirth, rising from the dead or the sorts of novel like eternal love.
“Your mother-in-law likes reading these,” Lu Yi lifted his brows and continued, “The girls in the procuratorate like it too. They talk about it all the time when they have nothing to do. I’m not from Mars, how can I not know about it?”
Oh, Yan Huan figured it out already, Lu Yi was influenced by the people around him.
Yan Huan nodded. I won’t tell, firm and resolute. Lu Yi’s ability to accept was terribly strong. Wouldn’t a normal person scream, and scream, and scream when they encounter such an incident?
Why didn’t he have any reaction?
Lu Yi still would not let her go, as there was something he had to know.
“Were you related to the Lu family in your past life?” Lu Yi put Yan Huan on the sofa and stood up. Then, he bent down and asked her condescendingly.
She could not remain silent, she had to tell him.
“Yes,” Yan Huan stopped playing with Lu Yi’s buttons and played with her fingers instead.
“Did you know me?” Lu Yi asked again.
“I did,” Yan Huan admitted.
“Did we know each other very well?”
“Pretty well.”
“How well?”
“Erm…” Yan Huan had to contemplate about how she was going to answer the question.
“Actually we were not very familiar with each other, but I knew some of your stuff.”
“Then?”
“I was afraid of you,” Yan Huan was an honest woman, which was why she answered the question frankly without any deception.
“Afraid of me?” Lu Yi squinted his eyes, he was born with a murderous face which was exactly like this. “Was I very scary?”
“Yeah, in the past life,” Yan Huan recalled Lu Yi’s cold and superior face. Based on her intelligence quotient, it would be a wonder if she was not afraid of him.
“How did I do in my past life?” Lu Yi clasped both her hands. She would tear her bandages off if she kept playing with her fingers.
“Very good,” Yan Huan could not play with her fingers, hence she resumed pulling his buttons, “You married Fang Zhu, who’s a nun.”
“And then…” Lu Yi was not surprised at all. If it were not because of such a turn of events that he fell in love with Yan Huan, he would most likely marry Fang Zhu in the end. He could even envision what kind of life he would live.
“Very good.” Although Yan Huan had never seen how Lu Yi married Fang Zhu, she believed that everything in the dream actually took place in the past life as that was Lu Yi’s nature.
“Both of you treated each other coldly and had no children.”
Lu Yi clenched his jaw, he brushed a strand of hair off her face. His hand lingered there and he twirled the strand of hair around his fingers.
“What about my parents?” An unspeakable sense of heaviness could be heard in his deep voice. He might have guessed it. His past life was not as good as Yan Huan said.
Yan Huan paused her fingers before clenching the button on his shirt tightly and scratching it with her nails.
“Dad died in the earthquake, his head was smashed.”
Lu Yi wobbled a little, every muscle in his body were tightening. It seemed like he found it hard to believe and accept.
“What about the Ye family?” he asked again.
Yan Huan reached up and put her hands inside Lu Yi’s shirt above his chest. She could hear the cadence of his heart beating and feel the pounding of his heart against his chest.
Thump, thump. His heart was beating so strong.
“The Ye family…” She laid her face on Lu Yi’s chest. She could only calm herself down by listening to his heartbeat.
“The Ye family was gone, all the money invested by the airport was money poured down the drain. The Ye family went bankrupt and the airport went into the hands of the Su family afterward.”
“Grandpa…” She bit her red lips, it was quite painful. Old Master was in fact a nice old man and he treated her nicely. They were courteous to each other even though they were not as close as his own granddaughter. But, in the past life…
“Grandpa passed away not long after the Ye family was defeated. There was no news of Ye Xinyu and Uncle was heavily in debt.”
“Yi Ling… jumped off a 25-story building. She was severely mutilated…” She murmured as if she were talking to herself, but Lu Yi heard it anyway.
No wonder she treated Yi Ling so good in this life, it was solely for the reason that Yi Ling died tragically in her past life. Apart from this, he was utterly sure that if it was not because of Yan Huan’s rebirth, everything that Yan Huan said about the Ye family and Dad would come true and take place.
The Ye family was gone, Grandpa had passed away and Uncle was saddled with debts. Perhaps Ye Xinyu was gone as well, the highest possibility was that he died with my Dad, Lu Jin in the earthquake.
