Lu Yi picked up the cat and placed it on his lap. He had no idea if Fang Zhu would eat him up, but he had already started pushing that woman out in his heart.
The moment she stepped on the cat, when she threw it away, when she refused to admit it.
“In this life, even if I were to not marry anyone, I wouldn’t marry her.” Lu Yi said calmly as he softly stroked the cat’s head.
Lei Qingyi broke into a smile.
Alright, he has finally escaped from this pit hole.
He was afraid that Lu Yi will be stubborn about this and really marry that woman. Not because of love but because everyone else said that they are suitable. Suitable, what nonsense is that. They were obviously not suitable, not at all.
Fang Zhu had not contacted Lu Yi the past few days and it seemed like he had vanished, there was no trace of him.
However, she still held back and decided not to contact him first. Lu Yi was in her hands, how could she bow down to him?
She still held on to her mighty image thinking that Lu Yi wouldn’t leave her.
In this world, nobody needs someone to survive.
Knock knock…
A knocking sound came from the door as Lu Yi lifted up his face from his pile of work. He petted Little Bean who was lying in a corner. Little Bean was in no mood right now and he had gotten used to getting around with 3 legs. He had stopped jumping around and liked to stay quietly by his side.
Lu Yi stood up and went over to open the door. However, when he saw who was standing outside, a tinge of worry appeared in his relaxed mood.
“When did you come back?” He asked.
“Just now” The woman walked in and took off her shoes. She stepped on the floor barefooted, “I have come pick Little Bean up’.
Lu Yi’s lips trembled a little as he stepped aside to let Yan Huan in. She didn’t even give him a chance to explain and walked in.
“Little Bean.” She shouted.
“You don’t have to look, he is here.” Lu Yi walked into his own study room and carried the little cat from inside.
Yan Huan grabbed it over but it had a lazy and lethargic look on it. She carried him over but realized one of its legs was bandaged.
She furrowed her brows, “What is this?”
She lifted her head and stared at Lu Yi, waiting for his explanation.
“He broke his leg,” Lu Yi placed one hand in his pants pocket and stood there casually. He also mentioned it casually.
Yan Huan carried the kitten in her embrace. She would never have imagined that when she came home, her Little Bean would have broken his leg.
“You broke it?” She was still looking up as she asked Lu Yi word by word.
Was it, was it, was it him?
“Yes.’ Lu Yi didn’t deny it. Even though he wasn’t responsible for it, he had something to do with it and hence, he was responsible too.
Yan Huan held the kitten in her arms as she glared at Lu Yi’s eyes. She wanted to get something from his eyes but she realized that whether it was her past life or this life, she couldn’t read this man. Of course, she couldn’t read anyone from the Lu family too, including Lu Qin.
She suddenly felt this pain in her heart, almost as if something had been stripped away.
She thought he was a good person, she thought that even though he looked cold, he wasn’t a bad person.
She thought he was the best person in the Lu family.
But one day she realized that she had been wrong again.
“I adopted Little Beanup, ” She lowered her head and carried him forward before placing her face against him.
“At that time, he was born from a stray cat and I would go feed them sometimes. Whenever I go, there would always be a bag of food there. It wasn’t placed by me; it was someone else. I would think, there are so many good people out there who were doing the same thing as me. Until one day, I saw a man feeding the mother, I knew that he was the one who had placed the cat food.”
“The day after there was a rain and when I went to check, the mother was already gone. Those kittens were no longer there too and only Little Bean was left drenched. He was barely a month old then. I brought him home and fed him till he is this big. Even though he is a little mischievous and greedy, he has been very obedient. He wouldn’t break the sand nor is he picky with his food. He is very easy to raise.”
“So tell me, why did you break his leg?” All of a sudden, she couldn’t control the tear that was about to fall from the corner of her eyes. In that moment, hate sprung from her eyes.
No one from the Lu family was good. That is right, none of them were good. Whether it was Lu Yi or Lu Qin, they were all the same. In their bones, there were all jerks, selfish and cruel. Violence and heartlessness ran in their blood.
She really regretted handing Little Bean over to him. It had been less than 3 months and his leg was broken…
Lu Yi still kept quiet, he continued staring at her with that pair of quiet eyes.
Yan Huan turned around to put on her shoes and left. She had no idea that at this moment, Lu Yi’s gaze was still on her. For a long time, he was stationary.
Yan Huan carried the kitten home and her entire face was sunken.
“Little Bean, mummy has missed you.” Yi Ling quickly went to carry him once she saw Yan Huan carrying him.
“Don’t move,” Yan Huan stepped back. “His leg is broken.”
“Leg is broken?” Yi Ling almost screamed. Why was his leg broken? When they left, he was still fat and healthy, and his legs were fine. Why was his leg broken now?
“Let me see,” She carefully took over Little Bean from Yan Huan. Just as she said, his front leg was wrapped in a cast and had been set. She held his claws; they were still warm but seemed weak.
“Who made my Little Bean like this?” Yi Ling placed the kitten on the sofa and rolled up her sleeves, all prepared to beat someone up. Not giving a cat any chance, is that person still a human?
Yan Huan held back her lips and her heart; she didn’t want to say.
She grabbed the kitten over again and turned to leave.
“I am bringing him to a vet.”
Even though it was only a cat and insignificant, it was still a life.
Yan Huan brought the cat to a pet hospital. When the vet saw Little Bean, he immediately recognized him.
“Eh, little fellow, you are back again. What happened, are you unwell?”
