Was he unhappy?
An’an looked at him, asking with her tender voice. “Do you want to have kids?”
Lu Yan’s hand was clenched into a fist in his pocket, how is he supposed to answer her?
Yes.
Yes, he wanted to have kids.
He really wasn’t young anymore, he wanted his own child.
It wasn’t entirely because of his age, he wasn’t really planning on having kids before he met her but things were different after An’an appeared in his life. It was because it was her that he wanted to have children. It was so she could give birth to their children, not because of his age that he wanted to settle down.
Lu Yan looked at her youthful face, she was still young, only 18 years old, how was she going to be able to give birth to his child?
He shook his head. “No, I don’t want kids.”
“Oh.” An’an lowered her head silently, finishing the bowl of chinese medicine in her hands in an entire gulp. “I’ll be heading back tomorrow,” she said in a barely audible voice.
Lu Yan slumped against the wall, merely replying with a ‘hm’.
“When are you going back? Are you still… going back to jail after you return to the Capital?”
He was sentenced to a two year term, she didn’t know why he was in Miaojiang, but he was supposed to be serving his jail sentence.
“Yes.”
He would be going back to jail.
An’an lowered her lashes, replying with another soft ‘oh’.
Lu Yan glanced at her, looking at her shoulder and his gaze started traveling around her body. It was this body of hers that satisfied him so much last night, her skin was smooth and her body was so soft it was almost like she didn’t have any bones.
She sat there, appearing somewhat innocent and pitiful. She wasn’t doing anything special to attract his attention, but he felt as though his heart was held in her grasp, he wanted to just go over and dote on her.
“Do you not want me to go back to jail?” he continued.
An’an lowered her head, looking at her skirt. “Of course, but it’s not like you don’t have to go back if I wished for you to not go back.”
Hearing her words, Lu Yan raised his brows and his eyes crinkled into a faint smile.
…
A melodious ringtone sounded, Tang Mo’er had received an incoming phone call.
Taking out her cell phone, she realized that it was a phone call from Tang Hai.
She had cut off all contact with Tang Hai since a long time ago, since the entire incident with Lu Qi’er had totally affected their father-daughter relationship.
Why was Tang Hai phoning her?
She pressed on the screen to answer the call. “Hello.”
“Hello, Mo’er.” Tang Hai sounded frantic and panicky. “Bad news, something bad has happened to your younger brother!”
“What? Something happened to Chenyi? What happened to Chenyi?”
Tang Mo’er was extremely close with Tang Chenyi, she had truly treated him as her biological brother.
“Chenyi has gone missing!”
Tang Mo’er gasped, how could Chenyi go missing?
“Speak slower, tell me clearly what happened.”
“Su Yan went to pick Chenyi up after school but they are still not back yet. It’s already so late now, I’ve called the school to ask about Chenyi, they told me that Chenyi hadn’t even come to school today. I’ve already sent people to look around Karghalik, there’s still no news of Chenyi. Su Yan and Chenyi have gone missing together!”
Su Yan and Tang Chenyi had both gone missing?
“Have they been kidnapped?”
“No, I haven’t received any of those calls from any kidnapper. It’s just that Su Yan and Chenyi have gone missing for no reason!”
How could they just go missing for no reason?
They must have been abducted.
“I understand. Continue to have people search for them. I’ll rush back to Karghalik first thing tomorrow morning!”
“Okay, Mo’er, actually, Chenyi…” Tang Hai faltered.
“What are you trying to tell me?” Tang Mo’er could sense something fishy with Tang Hai, he seemed to be keeping something from her.
“Nothing, Mo’er. I’ll hang up now.” Tang Hai hung up the phone.
Jun Mosheng then walked over. “Mo’er, what’s wrong?”
Tang Mo’er kept her cell phone away and looked at Jun Mosheng. “Uncle Jun, something has happened on my adoptive father’s side, I need to rush back first thing tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, I’ll get someone to arrange it for you.”
Jun Mosheng walked out of the room. Along the corridor, Gu Mohan stood outside. He was just staring at the door, but he didn’t step inside.
“President Gu, Mo’er is inside the room, why aren’t you going in?” Jun Mosheng asked.
Tang Mo’er lifted her head and looked towards the door when she heard them talking, his deep and narrow eyes landed on her face. He looked at her with a loving gaze.
Their eyes met and Tang Mo’er reached over, closing the room door, leaving Gu Mohan outside.
“President Gu, did you have a fight with Mo’er?”
Gu Mohan retracted his gaze. “Mm, I did something wrong and made her angry.”
Gu Mohan then looked at Jun Mosheng. “President Jun, Lin Xuanji is still in the altar. Aren’t you planning to do something about it yet?”
Jun Mosheng shook his head in disapproval. “No. If I really do something, the altar is going to collapse and the people of Miaojiang are bound to suffer and there will be massive injuries and even death.”
Gu Mohan raised the corner of his lips. “President Jun indeed has moral standards and actually cares about the people around you. This is probably the greatest difference between you and Uncle Jin. Uncle Jin is able to become a demon just because of that one person he cares about and loves. He doesn’t care for anyone else and just disregards them. But then, President Jun, if you’re not going to do it, Uncle Jin is going to take over and do it.”
“You’re telling me…”
Their eyes met and they both knew what each other was thinking about.
…
In the room, the High Priest’s wife, Ah Man was holding a tray of dishes and she knocked on the door.
A cold, charismatic voice sounded. “Come in.”
Ah Man pushed the door and stepped into the room. She scanned around the room before noticing an imposing figure standing by the windows.
Lu Jinwen was dressed in full black while standing by the windows. His figure seemed to have blended into the darkness of the night. He was mysterious, dignified and strong.
Even if he just stood there without saying a word, he was exuding a strong aura.
Ah Man’s face flushed red. She placed the tray of dished on the desk. “Mr Lu, how is your stay here? Is everything fine?”
Lu Jinwen slowly turned around, he had one hand in his pocket and slumped against the wall. “Thank you, Madam, for providing me with the accommodation.”
The High Priest had chased him out of Miaojiang and so the High Priest’s wife had hidden him away. The High Priest would never have anticipated that his beautiful wife had been seduced by Lu Jinwen.
Ah Man looked at his cold, almond-shaped eyes. She had heard her mother say that men with almond-shaped eyes were bound to have great achievements as leaders.
Ah Man’s face flushed red. “You’re welcome, Mr Lu. The dishes are going cold, come over and have dinner.”
Lu Jinwen walked over.
He arrived beside her, bringing with him a clean, masculine scent. Ah Man’s heart palpitated, her legs went weak and she fell in Lu Jinwen’s direction.
A muscular arm was around her slim waist, bringing her into his arms. She heard a deep, charismatic voice above her head. “Madam, are you alright?”
Ah Man was held by Lu Jinwen in his arms, their bodies so close together, and Ah Man’s head was on his chest.
Holding onto her jaw with two slender fingers, he forced her head up.
