Qin Fangang smiled but didn't say anything. He continued to hold onto Xin Yu's hand with no intention of letting go.
Lu Yihan watched as Qin Fangang held onto Xin Yu's hand, and the fire of jealousy in his heart burned brighter and brighter. He clenched his fists by his sides and was about to raise his hand when Lu Shiyun stepped forward and blocked his way. He lowered his voice and said, "… Fan Gang, you're making a bad impression by holding onto Xin Yu's hand like this. Look at how many people are here today. I don't know what Xin Yu did wrong to make you make such a big fuss. No matter what, we should keep our doors closed … "
"Her?"
Qin Fangang looked interested. He raised one of his eyebrows and the smile on his lips deepened, but it also carried a hint of coldness. "She did do a lot of things wrong and made me very unhappy."
"…"
"I've already said before that since she's with me, she's my woman. So, am I qualified to correct her mistakes?"
Xin Yu's heart thumped wildly. Qin Fangang's words sounded very sincere and didn't sound like there was anything wrong with them, but only she knew in her heart that every word he said was boldly colored with ambiguity.
Xin Yu only knew that Lu Yihan knew about her and Qin Fangang, so she didn't feel too guilty when facing Lu Yihan. After all, this marriage was riddled with holes and they both knew it very well. She didn't owe him anything. Over the past five years, he was more skilled at cheating than she was. She knew this thought was shameful, but it was also the truth.
No one said that a woman had to cling onto a dead marriage that would never bear fruit. Perhaps she did think this way in the past, but after she fell in love, she realized that happiness was more extravagant.
But she also knew that she didn't owe Lu Yihan, but she owed Lu Shiyun. What she didn't know was that Lu Shiyun of the Lu Clan also knew about the things between her and Qin Fangang. Right now, her heart was in a mess. She was afraid that Lu Shiyun would see through her, so she didn't dare to look at Lu Shiyun. Qin Fangang grabbed her wrist and subconsciously tried to break free.
…
"What did Xin Yu do wrong?" Lu Shiyun asked with a frown.
Qin Fangang laughed. His slender fingers slowly stroked the pulse on Xin Yu's wrist. He didn't immediately answer Lu Shiyun's question. It was as if he was waiting for something. After about 30 seconds, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance. Everyone's attention, which was originally on them, turned to the entrance of the banquet hall. At this moment, Qin Fangang's deep voice slowly rang out — —
"It's not convenient for me to tell you about what she did wrong."
"…"
"… Qin Fan … Big Brother, let's talk things out. Let go of me first …"
Xin Yu knew that Qin Fangang was never afraid of anything. But in this kind of situation, his words were too blunt. Even though she had too many doubts about Lu Shiyun, she was used to respecting him as an elder. She didn't dare to admit to too many "treacherous" things at a time like this.
She furrowed her beautiful brows. Because Lu Shiyun was present, she forcefully changed the three words "Qin Fangang" to "Big Brother." But before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly exclaimed — —
"… Why is Lan Ruoran here?"
…
"Wow, it's really Lan Ruoran!"
…
Lu Yihan's expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously looked at the entrance of the banquet hall. Surrounded by people, a familiar figure stood at the entrance. Behind her, most of the reporters followed.
"…"
Xin Yu swallowed the words in her throat. She instinctively raised her head and looked at Qin Fangang. The man's side profile was cold and tense. His thin lips were slightly pursed, but there were signs of a smile.
She was all too familiar with this expression of his — Lan Ruoran was probably here because of him.
Lu Shiyun's face was already ashen. He sternly asked Lu Yihan, "… What's going on? Why is this woman here? "
Lu Yihan also didn't expect that Lan Ruoran would suddenly appear here.
His gaze was gloomy as he looked at the well-dressed woman not far away. She was facing so many reporters, but she looked calm and composed. He then looked at Qin Fangang, who was standing in front of him. The man's sexy thin lips were slightly raised in a half-smile. He knew that Lan Ruoran's sudden appearance here was definitely not simple.
He and Lan Ruoran had been together for so many years, so he understood the woman who used to sleep with him. Although Lan Ruoran was a little unruly and a little willful, that was because he had pampered her. In fact, she was a woman who knew her limits. She didn't dare to overstep the boundaries because she was afraid that he would be unhappy. At an event like today, he had already made it clear to her that they were no longer in a relationship. Even if it was in the past, he would still indulge her. According to Lan Ruoran's personality, she definitely wouldn't be so bold to appear here.
…
Then, all of this was Qin Fangang's doing.
"I also really want to know why she's here."
Lu Yihan narrowed his eyes and shot a sharp look at Qin Fangang. "… No wonder you said it was a farce. Qin Fangang, you've put a lot of thought into this."
Lu Shiyun was a sly old fox. How could he not know that Lan Ruoran's sudden appearance must have something to do with Qin Fangang? At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that he couldn't control this son of his.
"… Fan Gang, did you ask Lan Ruoran to come here?"
Qin Fangang's exquisite facial features remained indifferent from the beginning. In the face of Lu Shiyun's direct question, he merely raised his eyebrows and said with a double meaning, "I don't have the ability to control whether a person stays or leaves."
"…"
The atmosphere here was subtle, but at the entrance of the banquet hall, there was an uproar.
Lan Ruoran's sudden appearance today surprised everyone. Her relationship with Lu Yihan was so delicate that everyone in D City knew about it. On their fifth wedding anniversary, the Lu family clearly wanted to cover up the scandal of the Lu family's daughter-in-law being suspected of having an affair, but they didn't expect to let the mistress appear in public.
The reporters didn't have time to care about other issues. They immediately surrounded Lan Ruoran and asked questions at once.
"… Miss Lan, may I ask why you're here today?"
"… Miss Lan, are you here today because of Young Master Lu Yihan?"
"… Miss Lan, I heard that you have a close relationship with Young Master Lu Yihan. Are you here today to declare sovereignty?"
"… Miss Lan, regarding the previous video of Young Master Lu Yihan's official wife, Lady Lu, suspected of having an affair, what do you think?"
"… Miss Lan, look at the camera …"
"… Miss Lan, over here … Miss Lan, Miss Lan …"
"…"
Lu Shiyun probably never dreamed that his previous plan would be completely disrupted at this moment. The focus of the audience had obviously turned to Lan Ruoran, and Lan Ruoran, that fearless woman, was actually walking over here. Naturally, most of the crowd moved with her. In the blink of an eye, people were squeezing. The ashen-faced Lu Shiyun was actually pushed aside by the reporters on the spot. He was so angry that his chest kept heaving up and down. He was a little older after all, so when he wasn't paying attention, he staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, the housekeeper came up in time to support Lu Shiyun, who was on the verge of collapsing.
"… Master, the scene is too chaotic. I'll take you to the hotel room first …"
Lu Shiyun's eyes were malicious. He kept tightening his grip on the crutch, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He wanted to say something, but at this time, who would listen to him?
The reporters' microphones and cameras were all aimed at Lan Ruoran and Lu Yihan.
She looked delicate and sweet, as if she was infinitely wronged. She vividly displayed the unwillingness of a "mistress" who had suffered so many years and couldn't bear to see the light of day.
Everyone in the audience seemed to have abandoned her, waiting to see what this "mistress" would say in such an occasion.
In the midst of the silence, Lan Ruoran suddenly reached out and gently hooked Lu Yihan's wrist. She took a deep breath and stared blankly at Lu Yihan. Her eyes were filled with strong feelings for this man. Then she said —
"… Han, I'm really … pregnant."
"…"
"…"
There was a moment of silence in the huge banquet hall, and then there was an uproar.
The reporters were like starving wolves that had suddenly seen a piece of fat meat. They fought to be the first to grab it.
Lu Yihan's handsome face was ashen. Lan Ruoran seemed to have thrown caution to the wind and raised her voice to the reporters' microphones. "… I'm really pregnant. I'm not lying to you."
"I'm pregnant with your child. It's your child!"
…
When Qin Fangang saw that the situation was about right, he pulled Xin Yu to the side. Not far behind them was a large circular pillar that blocked their figures.
Only after he pulled Xin Yu behind the pillar did she react. Xin Yu gasped. There was a commotion behind the pillar, and the situation was completely out of control. The man in front of her had a gloomy gaze and stern features. Her wrist was tightly clamped and she couldn't break free. Xin Yu frowned. "… Lan Ruoran, did you ask her to come?"
"Are you coming with me or staying here?" Qin Fangang didn't answer her question and instead asked her a question.
Xin Yu was speechless.
She didn't seem to have much of a choice. She could tell that Qin Fangang was a little angry, but she could roughly guess why he was angry. The current situation was completely messed up. This fifth wedding anniversary had obviously become a laughing stock again. She had originally agreed to attend because of her father, but now … no matter what the reason was, there was no point for her to stay.
Xin Yu nodded. Qin Fangang's gloomy gaze softened a little. He held her hand and quickly left the hotel through the emergency exit. They went straight to the elevator and arrived at the underground carpark. They got into the car and quickly left the hotel.
…
Qin Fangang drove directly to his apartment.
On the way there, he didn't speak. Xin Yu stole a few glances at him and saw that his side profile was tense. She automatically swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue.
