Chen Jin let out a chuckle. “You don’t welcome the third wheel?”
Chen Jin glanced at Lu Yan.
An’an was teased by him, her face flushed red. She quickly took out the keys and unlocked the apartment. “General, please come in. Let me check if there’s anything left in the fridge. You wouldn’t mind if I just whip up a simple meal right? I’ll treat you to a sumptuous meal next time!”
The General had treated her to a meal in the army base’s canteen in Country Z, the food there was simply delicious.
“Okay, I’ll just have anything that you cook.”
An’an quickly ran into the kitchen and began cooking.
Lu Yan looked at her from behind, furrowing his brows. “Old man, don’t you have any food at home? Why did you come over to disrupt us!”
“…”
Chen Jin patted Lu Yan’s shoulder. “I really couldn’t tell that you are so trendy, you’re learning from the youngsters and dating now.”
“…”
The pair poked fun at each other before they went to the living room.
…
In the living room.
Lu Yan and Chen Jin sat opposite each other.
Chen Jin took a sip of tea and glanced at Lu Yan. “Have you ever suspected that I was the one who touched your father’s records?”
Lu Yan sneered and a steely glint flashed past his eyes, he was incredibly astute. “I don’t expect the old man to stoop so low.”
Chen Jin laughed. He hadn’t misjudged this man. He was calm and astute, having the ability to sift out the truth.
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes. “Do you have any idea about who was behind it?”
Chen Jin placed the teacup in his hand down. “I know what you mean, anyone who wants to touch the records must have around the same amount of authority as I do. I know that Qianqian is a prime suspect, but she simply doesn’t have the ability to pull this off. It must be a mole around me.”
Chen Jin raised his brows, asking, “Do you want to catch the mole?”
Lu Yan slumped against the couch, not saying a word. An’an then walked out of the kitchen, placing a plate of sliced fruits on the coffee table. “There were a few oranges in the fridge. I’ve sliced them, it should be sweet.”
Lu Yan bent over, picking up a slice of orange and brought it to his lips.
But in the next moment, he stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Jin asked.
Lu Yan didn’t have any expression on his face. He threw the slice of orange in the bin. “The orange is spoiled.”
“How is that even possible. Are you bluffing me, let me taste it.” An’an reached over to pick up a slice of orange.
Lu Yan hit her hand lightly, furrowing his brows. “You’re not listening to me? Go and cook now!”
Seeing the fierce expression on his face, An’an pouted her lips but she listened to him and went back to the kitchen.
An’an had left and Chen Jin picked up a slice of orange, placing it underneath his nose to sniff. His expression darkened. “The orange had been poisoned. Seems like someone can’t wait to act.”
Lu Yan touched his jaw with his calloused fingers. “When I find out who’s this mole, I’m going to make sure to make him feel like he’s in hell!”
How dare anyone even try to harm An’an. He must ruin this person.
“Now the enemy is hidden away while we’re vulnerable. An’an is in danger any moment. Lu Yan, do you have any ideas?”
Lu Yan raised his brows. He definitely had some ideas.
“Old man, how are you related to An’an? The man that An’an’s mom slept with 21 years ago, that was you, right?” Lu Yan asked.
Chen Jin didn’t deny it, he only glanced at Lu Yan. “Doesn’t a certain someone want to become my son-in-law? You’re going to have to call me Dad next time. I forgot to tell you about this, but I’ve already submitted an application and even reported to the higher ups personally. It’s been approved, you can put on your uniform now. My position belongs to you in the future!”
Three years ago, Lu Yan had retreated into the mountains but Chen Jin hadn’t forgotten about him. Lu Yan had instead left a deep impression in Chen Jin’s heart.
Even if his father’s case hadn’t been overturned, he could still put on his uniform since it had been approved by the higher ups.
Finally, Lu Yan could put on his uniform!
The corners of Lu Yan’s lips kicked up, revealing a tinge of joy. This day finally arrived.
It hasn’t been easy.
It hasn’t been easy at all.
…
An’an’s culinary skills weren’t a pass and there weren’t much ingredients left at home. She fried a plate of peanuts and made some garlic cucumber. Chen Jin and Lu Yan finished the dishes while drinking a bottle of white wine, they were pretty cooperative.
Chen Jin’s secretary came to take the drunk him home while An’an glanced at Lu Yan, who slumped against the couch. He seemed to be drunk, closing his eyes while resting silently, unlike those men who would make a ruckus when they got drunk.
An’an bent over to clean up the table, planning to bring him into the room to rest once she was done.
Entering the kitchen, she placed the cutlery into the sink and switched on the tap, washing her hands.
Just as she was about to start washing the dishes, two muscular arms encircled her from the bag, pulling her into his embrace.
Her body collided into his strong build, she could smell that familiar, masculine scent that had a tinge of alcohol fragrance. “Aren’t you drunk? Go have some rest, I’ll come over once I”m done.”
Lu Yan hugged her rightly, he didn’t appear to be drunk anymore while he buried his face in her neck, sniffing her and he traveled up to her hair. “Why do you smell so good?”
An’an’s face flushed red. Their bodies were so close together and she could feel his bulging muscles that were a raging symbol of his masculinity. “Ah Yan, let go of me first. I need to wash the dishes.”
“Don’t wash it now, leave it for me to wash. Now… serve me first.”
“…”
What was he saying?
Lu Yan lifted her up. “Let’s go back to the room.”
An’an’s face was so red, she clutched onto the sink with both hands, refusing to leave. “Y-You can’t take advantage of me just because you’re drunk. I-I’m not prepared at all. The next time you want it, you’d have to… make a reservation.”
“Lass, I dare you to continue wasting my time? I want to teach you a lesson so badly!” Lu Yan cursed beside her ear, wanting to drag her away.
An’an continued clinging onto the sink, biting down on her lips. She didn’t want to just agree to his requests.
He wasn’t being reasonable.
She was washing the dishes and hadn’t even taken a shower yet. She didn’t want to do it now!
Lu Yan let go of her, her legs landing on the ground while he continued grasping her waist. He let out a sardonic laugh. “You chose this location, you’re not allowed to cry and complain later!”
What did he mean?
An’an hadn’t understood what he meant in a second. She heard the man behind her unbuckling his belt…
An’an’s pupils contracted, she instantly screeched, “Lu Yan, I dare you!”
