Now that he thought about it, the only thing that maintained their relationship was her body.
Maybe if Leng Xinyu hadn't appeared, he would've continued on like this. Maybe five years ago, he would've really married Lan Ruoran. But what about after that? He couldn't imagine what would happen between them.
But now that Leng Xinyu had appeared, what was she?
In the beginning, he was hostile and prejudiced against her. Later on, he began to pay attention to her and sympathize with her. Then, he slowly began to understand her. He saw the tenacity in her and understood the reason why she had persisted in staying with the Lu Family all these years.
The thing that shocked him the most was actually the thing that made him jealous the most.
He had never told anyone that on that day, when the news of her cheating was exposed in the newspapers, he had been hatefully thinking on the way home — if he saw that woman, would he be able to hit her? She actually had the guts to cheat on him. He knew very well who that man was. All his previous suspicions were confirmed in an instant. It was as if he had suddenly been pushed into an ice cellar. It was so cold that it pierced through his heart.
But when he really returned to the Lu family, he saw such a delicate woman kneeling on the floor with a determined look on her face. Her body was covered in blood, but her face was stubborn. She straightened her back and admitted that she really had cheated on him. She even said so clearly and bravely that the man wasn't her cheater, but the man she liked …
At that time, Lu Yihan felt that he must've been bewitched.
As her husband, shouldn't he have slapped her on the spot?
Why did he feel that at that moment, he wasn't looking at a shameless woman who had cheated on him. Instead, he felt like he was looking at a woman who was brave enough to face any harm for the sake of love?
At that moment, his heart really went crazy with jealousy.
Then, with some lingering fear, he realized that his heart had already sunk uncontrollably. Even he didn't know why. Was it because he was attracted to her? Or was it because he really wanted that kind of impulse to do anything for the sake of love?
…
Of course, Lu Yihan knew very well that this was a change in his attitude towards Leng Xinyu. Between him and Lan Ruoran, Leng Xinyu was probably just a fuse, but not the root of the problem.
The few things that Lan Ruoran had plotted against Leng Xinyu behind his back, including the fact that she had lied to him and made him reevaluate this woman and the "relationship" between him and her.
For the past two days, he had been asking himself why he could choose to forgive Leng Xinyu and Qin Fangang for what they had done. He still wanted to pursue her again?
Why was he disappointed and annoyed after knowing that Lan Ruoran had done something to Leng Xinyu and even lied about her pregnancy?
…
In terms of deceit, Leng Xinyu was obviously more despicable than Lan Ruoran, but he was reluctant to let go of the woman's hand.
What exactly is love?
He still hadn't found a definite answer, but there was already a voice in his body guiding him step by step to walk, do, and fight for what he truly wanted.
"Ruoruo, take these. They won't do you any harm. I know you must think I'm a jerk for wasting so much of your time. I've always told you that I'll make you my wife, Lu Yihan, but in the end, I still have to break my promise. I'm sorry. I can't give you anything else, but these should be enough for you to live the rest of your life. "
Lu Yihan suppressed the emotions in his heart and reached out to grab Lan Ruoran's hand. He stuffed the contracts and checks into her hands and explained in a deep voice, "I can't continue to waste your youth because I know I can't give you what you want anymore. Actually, you're still very young. You can find someone better … Ruoruo, I'm sorry. If you don't want to stay in D City, I can arrange for you to go abroad. You told me before that your family passed away early, so you couldn't finish your studies and entered society very early. Now, you have a chance. If you want, I can let you choose a school abroad. You can have whatever you want. I'll take care of your tuition and living expenses. I won't treat you badly. If you need it in the future, I'll also find someone to help you find a good job. "
"…"
"I, Lu Yihan, am a man of my words. You should know me well. My phone number will never change. Ruo Ruo, if you're willing, we can still be friends … "
"Friends?"
Lan Ruoran's lips trembled. She suddenly reached out and pushed Lu Yihan away. The contracts and checks in her hands fell to the ground. Her red eyes stared at the man in front of her. Seeing the guilt in his brows, she felt numb and happy. She laughed nervously. "… Well said, Lu Yihan. How many years have we known each other? Even if it's not 10 years, it's at least 8 years, right? In so many days, how many times have I been slept with by you? My first time was with you. My first child was also with you. I had an abortion in England because of you. You caused me to be unable to have children for the rest of my life. It's also because of you — "
"It's all because of you. Do you know that?"
"Why are you talking to me about being friends now? There's no man more selfish than you in this world! When you f * cked me, when you inserted your thing into me, why didn't you treat me as a friend? When you ejaculated inside me, why didn't you think that you were my friend? You said that you loved me. Is this how you treat me when you love me? I don't want these things from you, and I won't leave D City. You want me to help you and Leng Xinyu, right? Dream on! Lu Yihan, you owe me your whole life. You don't want a woman who loves you wholeheartedly. Instead, you go for that Leng Xinyu. She and Qin Fangang rolled around in bed behind your back. She made you a cuckold, and you're still waiting for her. You're the funniest man in the world! "
…
"What did you say?"
Lu Yihan suddenly raised his head. His eyes, which were originally filled with guilt, instantly became extremely fierce. He took two steps toward Lan Ruoran, reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled hard. "… What did you just say?"
"…"
Lan Ruoran's breath was still stuck in her throat. Two streams of tears hung on her face. She looked a little embarrassed, but her heart was even more embarrassed.
She didn't know what was wrong with Lu Yihan. Why did he suddenly become a different person? She said a lot of things just now. What was she asking herself?
…
"Lan Ruoran, how did you know about the matter between Leng Xinyu and Qin Fangang?"
After waiting for Lan Ruoran's response for a long time, Lu Yihan became impatient and asked word by word, "Hmm? Didn't you just tell me clearly? You said that the video had nothing to do with you. Of course … the man in the video was also dealt with, so I'm very curious. How did you know about the matter between Leng Xinyu and Qin Fangang? "
"…"
Lan Ruoran's brain buzzed. Only then did she realize what she had said. Her heart thumped wildly, and her face was stiff. She couldn't react for a long time.
"You've always treated me like a fool. Did I trust you too much, or was I too stupid? Huh? "
Lu Yihan shook his head and pushed Lan Ruoran away. His eyes were sharp and carried a strong sense of disappointment. "Did you really think that I wanted to break up with you because of Leng Xinyu? I've let you down, hmm? How many things have you been hiding from me? You should think about it carefully. All these years, I've never mistreated you. You just didn't get to sit in Lady Lu's position, but you've always enjoyed such treatment. If you lied to me, if you didn't put on an act in front of me … "
He reached out and punched the wall, saying word by word, "… I don't want to know how you knew about Leng Xinyu and Qin Fangang, but I'm telling you, you'd better keep this a secret. I won't take back what I've given you. Live your life well and don't come looking for me again."
"… Yihan."
The door of the condominium was suddenly pulled open. Lan Ruoran rushed forward in a panic, but Lu Yihan quickly dodged to the side and she missed. The man didn't look back and walked into the elevator without any reluctance. Lan Ruoran chased after him in a daze, but she could only lean against the closed doors of the elevator and hit them, crying. "… Yihan, I didn't do it on purpose … I really didn't want to lie to you … Yihan, please … please don't abandon me … Yihan, come back … come back …"
…
Qin Fangang signed the last word on the document when the phone beside him suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and his gaze softened. Without hesitation, he pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear. Qin Fangang gently put down the expensive fountain pen between his fingers and pinched the bridge of his nose that was slightly sore. When he heard the female voice on the other end calling his name affectionately, he responded mildly, "… Mom, isn't it night time in England? Aren't you going to rest? "
Qin Huimin missed his daughter very much, so he didn't have any intention of hiding it. He said directly, "How long has it been since you came to see me? Last time, you said something happened at the company. You were already at the door when you suddenly turned back. When do you plan to come back this time? "
"In a couple of days."
Qin Fangang raised his wrist and looked at the date on his watch. He calculated in his heart before he said, "It's the third today. I'll go over on the fifth, okay?"
"The fifth? No, have you forgotten that it's Xiaoyan's birthday on the fourth? Fan Gang, Mom has always been very supportive of your work, but it's Xiaoyan's birthday. No matter how busy you are, you have to make time for it, okay? "
After hearing Qin Huimin's words, Qin Fangang remembered that it was indeed Situ Yan's birthday on the fourth.
The Situ family had a good relationship with his mother, so he had watched Situ Yan grow up. In the past, they had been present on both her and his birthdays. As her older brother, he would give her a birthday present every year. This year, he was in D City, so he had forgotten about this date.
