In the room.
Lu Yan slowly opened his eyes, above his head was no longer the rundown ceilings but rather, a pink canopy bed, the dazzling chandeliers passing through the mesh. When he moved a little, the windchime made a light, tinkling sound.
It was An’an’s room, An’an’s bed.
Her bed wasn’t huge, and a huge part of it sunk down when his 1.9 meter frame was on it. Most importantly, his legs were fully stretched out and there wasn’t enough space left.
He was on her bed.
Lu Yan looked with the tail of his eye, his face sunk into the pillow and it was soft and smelled so good, there was a lingering fragrance all around. It was her body scent.
He nuzzled against the pillow for awhile before he sat up, his upper body bare except the bandages around it. He still wore the same black pants below and the excess material on the right pant leg was cut away, accentuating that fact that his right leg was amputated.
He got down the bed, wanting to look for his prosthetic leg.
But he suddenly recalled that his prosthetic leg had been kicked far away by himself, he wondered if she actually helped him to pick it back up. He was venting his anger previously, but now he regretted it.
Scanning around the princess-like room with his deep, brown eyes, he didn’t see what he was looking for. An’an wasn’t there.
He arrived beside the door, stretching his arm out to open it.
He heard some laughter outside, it was Huo Yanmei. “An’an, you should keep in touch with Junxun now that he’s back. Why don’t you two go for an overseas vacation together?”
Lu Yan clutched onto the doorknob tightly, his gaze riveted on the dining room downstairs. There were three people seated at the extravagant, long dining table downstairs. An’an and Li Junxun were sitting opposite each other. One was an eligible youth while the other was a youthful beauty, the scene of the two together was wonderful.
Li Junxun…
It had been three years, Lu Yan had almost forgotten about his existence. Back then, Li Junxun used to love An’an very much.
Noticing Huo Yanmei’s attitude, Lu Yan could already tell that she treated Li Junxun as her son-in-law.
An’an was going to go on an overseas vacation with Li Junxun?
Lu Yan’s lips were dry and pale as he had just woken up. He pursed his lips, staring at the lithe figure seated downstairs.
…
In the dining room downstairs, An’an lowered her head as she cut the steak in front of her. She wasn’t very interested in spending time with the people in front of her.
She knew that Huo Yanmei was happy with Li Junxun, but she only treated him as a senior. Just like before, she didn’t have any other kind of feelings for him.
Her entire mind was taken up by the man upstairs. Was he already awake or not? If he was awake, he should be feeling hungry by now.
But she heard Huo Yanmei continue say laughingly, “An’an, Junxun has started a medical devices company overseas and it’s already publicly listed. The devices are said to be rather advanced and have yet to be imported locally, Junxun is truly capable.”
Li Junxun was the young master of the Li family but he had started his own company by himself. He was indeed one of the few capable ones among the rich second-generation heirs.
An’an suddenly stopped cutting her steak, she lifted her head to look at Li Junxun with her eyes both lit up. “Senior Junxun, let’s add each other on WeChat.”
“Sure.”
Lu Yan was watching from upstairs and he pressed his lips into a firm line once he saw An’an adding Li Junxun on WeChat, before closing the room door.
Once he walked beside the couch, he whipped out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket before biting on one stick of it, lighting it up.
He began to puff on it.
An’an and Li Junxun had added each other on WeChat and she began asking him, “Senior Junxun, does your company sell… prosthetic legs?”
Li Junxun nodded. “We do, our company has the most advanced prosthetic legs available in the market now. Many local hospitals are negotiating deals with me right now. An’an, why are you asking?”
“Oh, I have a friend who had to amputate a leg because of an accident. I was asking for him.”
Huo Yanmei could sense something fishy. “Friend? An’an, which friend of yours had to amputate a limb?”
“It’s my colleague from the FIU. Mom, would you like to get to know him?” An’an’s gaze riveted on Huo Yanmei.
Huo Yanmei’s face stiffened. “An’an, let’s go upstairs to have a talk.”
Huo Yanmei then left the dining room and went upstairs. She went straight to An’an’s room.
An’an’s heart thumped wildly, Lu Yan was still in her room!
“Mom, let’s talk in the study!”
But Huo Yanmei had already pushed her room door open and stepped inside before she even finished her words.
Crap! An’an’s pupils contracted, she quickly followed Huo Yanmei in but there wasn’t a single soul in the room.
Where did Lu Yan go?
An’an looked around her surroundings, she then realized that the bathroom door wasn’t completely shut.
She approached the bathroom and through the slightly ajar door, she could see an imposing figure inside. Lu Yan was standing on one leg beside the basin, with one hand in his pocket while the other was preoccupied with a cigarette.
He was smoking. The smoke swirled around his face but his deep, brown eyes were on her. Their eyes met.
Huo Yanmei’s interrogative voice was heard. “An’an, let me ask you, did you sleep with Lu Yan?”
Did she sleep with Lu Yan?
Huo Yanmei wasn’t beating around the bush at all.
An’an’s heart palpitated, and she looked inside the bathroom to glance at the man, the man reciprocated.
Quickly averting her gaze, she felt it was somewhat awkward. He was going to overhear the conversation going on between the mother-daughter.
“An’an, tell me frankly, did you give your virginity to Lu Yan?”
Huo Yanmei continued interrogating her without relent and An’an could sense the gaze on her coming from the man inside the bathroom, it was slowly getting suggestive.
An’an’s face blushed and she looked at Huo Yanmei and nodded. “Yes.”
Huo Yanmei’s expression changed, she had taken a huge blow. “This Lu Yan is really a b*stard, he’s addicted to playing around with women outside and he didn’t even let you off. You were only 18 years old three years ago. An’an, you were cheated by him, even losing a girl’s most precious possession.”
“That’s enough, Mom. Stop talking about it.” An’an interrupted Huo Yanmei. “He didn’t cheat me, I was the one who raped him.”
She had lost her virginity in Miaojiang, he wasn’t willing to do it that night and it was she who had tied him up, raping him.
“W-What did you just say?” Huo Yanmei was startled upon hearing An’an’s blunt words. A few moments later, she walked in front and gave An’an one tight slap.
Pah! The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the room.
An’an was slapped so hard her head was thrown to the side.
In the bathroom, Lu Yan was stunned. His gaze turned dangerously cold and his entire aura turned baleful. Stubbing his cigarette in the ashtray, he was moments from charging out of the bathroom.
No one would ever have the right to hit his woman.
An’an saw him move, and she stretched out her arm to close the bathroom door. Now he could no longer see whatever was going on outside the bathroom.
Lu Yan stood frozen by the door.
Huo Yanmei was fuming with rage. “An’an, you really don’t love yourself enough! Are you out of your mind?! You were only 18 years old back then and actually went to rape Lu Yan? What did he do exactly to bewitch you?”
