“Really?” Yan Huan asked as she pinched her face. She felt that she had gained weight since she was becoming chubbier, but fortunately, it did not look obvious.
“Huanhuan, that woman has already left.” Ye Shuyun had been waiting so long to tell her this. Maybe there was an underlying meaning to her words, but Yan Huan did understand what she meant.
However, some things were already impossible.
For instance, the things that were not mentioned by Ye Shuyun or the others.
Anyway, Yan Huan was not curious about why Sun Yuhan left. After all, she herself had been in such a situation. Not many women can escape Lu Qin if he was interested in them.
If Lu Qin had put in effort to charm Sun Yuhan, it would not be difficult for him to get her.
She just smiled instead of saying anything, choosing to remain silent.
Ye Shuyun moved her lips, but she ended up sighing.
She was not sure if these two kids could be together again. But she felt that the road ahead was murky indeed.
“Do you ever think about it?” Old Master Lu asked Yan Huan.
“Think about what?” Yan Huan was hugging Little Bean and playing with its paws. Little Bean had grown into a big fat cat, thus it should be called Old Bean instead of Little Bean right now. Nevertheless, it was still adorable.
“Don’t play dumb!” Old Master Lu rolled his eyes. “You should know what I’m talking about.”
“If you are asking about that matter…” Yan Huan tweaked Little Bean’s sharp ears again. “Then I can only apologize.”
“Not every separated couple could let bygones be bygones and get back together. Others might decide to go through the struggle of coming together again, but I’d rather choose to forget about him.”
She lowered her head and picked up Little Bean before walking away. Deep inside her heart, where no one could see, there existed a barren desert instead of a lush garden.
There was no new life nor any hope in there.
She put down Little Bean and laid on her bed. Her fingers gripped a corner of the blanket.
So what if that woman had left? He was still not her Lu Yi. There was no need to get along with him anymore.
Lu Yi returned home from work and had just arrived when he saw a person standing at the doorway, as if she were waiting for someone. The ‘someone’ could only be him.
He walked toward her and stood in front of that person. He looked down at her with a stony face.
“What are you doing here?” His voice was flat, and his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
She had taken 10 million yuan from him. He had given her all he could. She was the one who wanted to exchange his promise with 10 million yuan. Lu Yi’s promise was worth that much.
Did she really think that by just saying a word or two, mountains of money would just fall from the sky, so much that she might die from being buried in money?
Sun Yuhan licked her dry lips. At this moment, she was sweating involuntarily, drenching her shirt. However, she refused to admit that she was actually afraid of this man. But upon recalling what Lu Qin had asked her to do, she could not retreat, but she had to do it.
“I…” She found herself speechless. It was hard for her to even make a sound.
“I need you to… I need…” Still, she could not voice it out. Need, need, need, what do I need?
“I need some of your blood.”
Lu Yi’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Did Lu Qin send you?”
Sun Yuhan’s face turned pale. She ducked out of Lu Yi’s sight. She did not dare to, and neither could she say the word ‘yes’. And indeed, it was Lu Qin who asked her to do so, but Lu Qin did not tell her the reason.
Lu Yi pulled out his house keys and was about to unlock the front door. Suddenly, Sun Yuhan clutched his sleeves.
“Lu Yi, you owe me this.”
Lu Yi slowly lowered the keys in his hand.
He owed her? Huh? What did he owe her?
“You have to give it to me.” Sun Yuhan’s hand was stuck on Lu Yi’s shirt like a leech. Lu Qin said that she was the only one who could persuade Lu Yi, as Lu Yi had owed her his life. This was Lu Yi’s character, he did not like to be indebted to anyone. If he did, he would certainly pay it back. Therefore, Lu Yi would agree no matter what she requested, including drawing his blood.
Lu Yi extricated his sleeve from Sun Yuhan’s hand.
Sun Yuhan said that he owed her, but both of them knew the truth.
Sun Yuhan looked up with a blinding smile on her lips, “I thought you were a self-righteous person, but in reality, you are just a hypocrite who goes back on your own words.”
Lu Yi had never admitted that he was a gentleman, but he was far from being a hypocrite. He turned around and reached out to open the door. He felt like it was unnecessary to talk to her.
“Lu Yi, you have to follow me to the hospital today,” Sun Yuhan insisted as she tugged at Lu Yi ‘s sleeve again. “If you are willing to follow me to the hospital today, I would break off our relationship cleanly. If I look for you again, I would be cursed to live a poor and miserable life! And I will suffer a painful death!”
Swearing such a poisonous oath was probably the most unbearable thing for Sun Yuhan to do. She would rather die than go back to her former life, when she was still renting a ten square feet rental room, and had to eat near the toilet.
“Call it even, you promise?” Lu Yi turned around and stowed his keys back into his pocket.
“Yes,” Sun Yuhan gritted her teeth as she nodded.
“Yes, I swear to god.”
Lu Yi did not care much about her oath. Men’s promises were untrustworthy, so were women’s.
He turned around and walked toward his car while Sun Yuhan ran promptly to catch up with him.
“Lu Yi! Where are you going?” she cried out to him as she ran.
“The hospital,” Lu Yi replied curtly as he opened the car door and got into the car.
Sun Yuhan ran over immediately. She opened the car door and got into the car boldly, without asking whether he was willing to send her or not. Lu Yi was reserved and tolerant. Of course, there were many things that no one would know if he did not voice it. For instance, his eyes were obviously loathing Sun Yuhan, but she did not realize it. She had been staying with Lu Yi for two years, but she did not realize that Lu Yi’s ‘unhappy’ mood had turned into ‘loathing’ when she got into his car. Fortunately for her, this was Lu Yi. If he were Lei Qingyi, he would have kicked her out of the car without question.
Lu Yi knew what did Lu Qin wanted, but his methods of getting it was rather shameless. Cheating on a woman to save another woman, was he doing the right thing or was he just immoral?
His blood type was the same as Su Muran’s. Su Muran’s current condition could only be cured with a bone marrow transplantation. Yan Huan had told him that the Su family did come to ask for his help when Su Muran got sick in her previous lifetime, and he had agreed. Nevertheless, it was unfortunate that his bone marrow was totally incompatible with her, although their blood types were similar.
