Qin Fangang glanced at her with a half-smile. He took out another cigarette, lit it, and put it in the corner of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and took a puff. The small car was suddenly filled with the smell of smoke and his unique masculine scent.
Xin Yu didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she felt that when they were alone in the same space, the air around them would become thinner. There were actually remnant images in her mind that kept reminding her —
Not too long ago, they had rolled around naked on the bed. He had kissed her on the lips, his hands on the steering wheel had caressed her body, and she herself had once indulged in his advances in a delirious state of mind …
These thoughts were like a tide. As soon as they were opened, they couldn't be stopped and fiercely rushed to her.
Xin Yu bit her lip subconsciously. Her breathing seemed to have become hot, and her face was completely red.
Just as the green light changed to red, Qin Fangang pulled the handbrake and slowly took a puff of the cigarette. The moment he exhaled the smoke, he turned his face. When he saw Xin Yu's uneasy expression, he raised his eyebrows. "Why is your face so hot?"
As he spoke, his hand had already reached over. The back of his hand that was holding the cigarette gently pressed against her cheek.
Xin Yu froze because of his actions. The emotions that were originally suppressed in her chest all gushed out from her chest because of this ambiguous action of his.
She instinctively jumped up and accidentally hit her head on the roof of the car. She groaned in pain. It was a suppressed cry of surprise.
Qin Fangang looked at her and laughed lightly. He took out a box from the side and threw the remaining half of the cigarette into it. Then he rolled down the car window.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in. Xin Yu instinctively pressed against the window and tried her best to breathe in the fresh air.
"You didn't give me this feeling that morning." Qin Fangang tapped the steering wheel casually. He looked at Xin Yu's bright red face and smiled faintly. "You're such a sharp-tongued little woman. Why are you so nervous in front of me now? Are you feeling guilty because I'm Lu Yihan's older brother? But have you ever thought that every time you look at me, you have such a … hmm, bitter look in your eyes? The people of the Lu Family aren't fools. One day, even if you don't say anything, everything will be exposed. "
Xin Yu pursed her lips. Her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily, and then she slowly raised her head.
He was right. She was really upset about the hurdle in her heart.. But since he took the initiative to talk about it, she didn't have to hide it anymore.
"So … Big Brother, can you consider not living with the Lu family's house? I think if you say something … "
"Hmm?"
Before Xin Yu could finish her sentence, Qin Fangang suddenly leaned closer to her. His deep gaze landed on her face, which was still hot. He suddenly chuckled. "What did you just call me?"
Qin Fangang's voice was deep and resonant. Perhaps it was because he grew up in England, but even though his Mandarin sounded very standard, it also seemed to have a slight accent. You wouldn't notice it when he spoke normally, but —
When he was so close to you and deliberately slowed down, you would be shocked to realize that every word he said had a unique charm, just like his breath. It was domineering, and the aura on his body was intoxicating …
Xinyu found that she was unable to breathe normally. She instinctively leaned back but found that her back was already pressed against the car door. There was something protruding from the armrest that was pressed hard against her spine. She did not dare to move anymore. She could only force herself to turn her face away to avoid his hot breath on her face.
"… You, don't come so close to me."
"What did you say? Louder. The car engine outside is too loud. I can't hear you clearly. "
Qin Fangang frowned. His tall body leaned in her direction again, and his breath was even closer to hers.
Xin Yu felt that the breath she carefully inhaled into her lungs was like his breath …
"… You, you're … too close to me."
"Hmm?"
"…"
Xin Yu realized that the more she wanted to avoid Qin Fangang, the closer he got. She was already panting carefully, but in the end, she was almost holding her breath. She didn't dare to move too much. She was afraid that their lips would accidentally touch in the narrow space of the car.
Fortunately, the red light changed to green, and the car in front began to move forward slowly. Qin Fangang's car was still parked in the same spot. The long line behind them naturally urged them impatiently. A few impatient drivers even leaned out of the car window, pointing at the car and shouting.
Qin Fangang didn't show any signs of anger. The corners of his perfectly shaped lips curled up slightly. He didn't force Xin Yu anymore. Instead, he sat up straight and started driving.
They finally left …
Xin Yu felt a sense of relief, the originally thin air seemed to have filled up, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
She turned to look at the man who was driving. The contours of his side profile were perfect. The afternoon sun was like gold, shining through the deep glass of the car. The light fell on his exquisite facial features, making him dazzling.
Xin Yu swallowed. Since they had already started the conversation, there was no reason to give up halfway. In the end, she took the initiative to speak.
"… I hope you can consider what I said just now."
Qin Fangang made a turn at the intersection ahead. "Huh? What did you just say? "
Xin Yu looked at him. In fact, just by looking at his nonchalant expression, she knew that he had heard it, but he just didn't want to answer.
She pursed her lips. "I know my request is a little too much, but if it's possible, I hope I'm the one who moves out. It's just that I can't move out. I think you … might not like living in that place. If it's possible … "
"You want me to move out?" Qin Fan had just gotten the chance to turn around and ask the obvious.
Xin Yu nodded.
He smiled. "Since you know it's impossible, why do you think I'll agree?"
"… Kind of. I owe you."
They were living under the same roof. She really didn't have the courage to pretend as if nothing had happened. She had always been bad at lying.
"You owe me?"
The smile at the corner of Qin Fangang's mouth became even more profound. His enchanting eyes also flashed with a bright light, but after a moment, he became calm again. He didn't continue the topic just now. Instead, he suddenly changed the topic and asked her, "Which hospital is your father in?"
"Brother, myself …"
"I don't really like the word 'brother'." Qin Fangang interrupted her very straightforwardly. His ambiguous tone made it hard to tell whether the sarcasm was for her or for himself. "Every time you call me that, it's equivalent to reminding me of something I don't want to remember."
Was he referring to her identity as an illegitimate child?
Xin Yu secretly suppressed the desire to sigh. When she called him brother, wasn't it the same as reminding him of some cruel facts?
But she couldn't possibly call him by his name in front of the Lu family, right?
"We're about to turn at the intersection ahead." Qin Fangang reminded her. "Which hospital is your father in?"
"Just drop me off at the intersection ahead." Xin Yu insisted on getting out of the car.
"Lu Yihan likes to drop you off in the middle of the road, but I don't like to do that kind of thing." Qin Fangang curved his lips. His indifferent tone carried an irresistible aura. "Didn't you say you owed me? I want to take you to the hospital now, so don't let me hear anything I don't want to hear, okay? Which hospital? "
Xin Yu looked down expressionlessly. Her fingers on her knees instinctively clenched tightly.
After a moment, she finally spoke. Her voice was very soft, but in the cramped space of the car, every word was exceptionally clear.
She said, "The hospital my father is in is a mental hospital. My father has been suffering from serious mental illness for five years. I don't think you're suitable to go to that kind of place. "
Time was really like the sand between fingers, fleeting and fleeting.
Five years ago, it was precisely because her father had suddenly gone crazy that she had married into the Lu family in a state of utter helplessness.
Even though she clearly knew that Lu Yihan had never even met her face to face, even though she clearly knew that the rich playboy would never give her the happiness she wanted, even though once she married into a wealthy family, she still did not look back …
Because it was Lu Shiyun who had come looking for her back then.
The conversation at that time was still fresh in her memory even now …
"Miss Leng Xinyu, your father, Leng Dongming, used to be my friend. I know that he's in trouble now, so I'm here to help you."
"… Help us? Who are you? "
"My name is Lu Shiyun. Your father might not have mentioned me, but I'm indeed his friend. His current situation is not good. If this continues, he'll be sent to the Green Mountain. You know what kind of place that is. Once you go in, you can forget about ever coming out again. "
"… …"
"… Our Lu Clan is currently investing in building a hospital. The patients we'll take in are all targeted at people like your father. Miss Leng, I know that you're still a university student, but you've always excelled in your studies and conduct. Your performance has always been excellent. I admire girls like you very much. I don't want to hide anything from you. My son needs a wife with a clean background like you. If you're willing to marry my son, then I'll take good care of your father for the rest of his life for you. "
… …
Marry his son — Lu Yihan.
Xin Yu tilted her neck slightly. Her mind was filled with thoughts, and the corners of her lips curled up somewhat bitterly. At that time, she really thought that Lu Shiyun had asked her to be his "mistress".
But it was obvious that she had been narrow-minded.
Even though she had sacrificed her marriage, even though her father had never mentioned that he had a rich friend in her memories …
But these were no longer important.
This was because Lu Shiyun had treated her very well. In the past five years, not only had she achieved success in her studies, but her father's illness had also been somewhat under control.
What else was there for her to be dissatisfied with?
Qin Fangang had already pressed the navigation button. "I know that the Lu Clan has invested in medical construction before, so this hospital is also under the Lu Clan's name? Tell me the name. "
"… Qin Fangang."
"Hmm?"
