Lu Yan's breathing deepened, his ears were buzzing. What did she just say?
Two large palms landed on her smooth shoulders and squeezed hard. His thin lips curved upwards and he gave a sharp and sarcastic laugh. "Damn it, Gu An 'an, just because you say it's a one-night-stand, just because you say it's a one-night-stand, just because you say it's a one-night-stand. Do you know how expensive I am? You should've f * cking made things clear earlier. "
There were so many women who coveted him. She didn't even have the right to get a queue number!
"…"
An 'an's beautiful face was impassive. "Alright, I know Master Yan is expensive. Even if Master Yan is missing a leg, he can still f * ck someone to death. Master Yan, go get the cheque from my brother …"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force in his palm. The force was so great that he wanted to crush her fragrant shoulder.
His sinister voice rang in her ears. "Gu An 'an!"
"Don't call me!" An 'an suddenly raised her voice and interrupted him. She glared at him coldly. "Lu Yan, what do you want? What do you want? Can't you just give me a straightforward answer? Do you want me to take responsibility? Have you ever thought about our future? "
Future …
Future …
Lu Yan froze, his deep gaze instantly became complicated.
That diamond ring was now hanging around his neck, strung with a red string and stuck at the position closest to his heart. Three years ago, he had already made up his mind. He wanted to propose to her, he wanted her to marry him, he wanted her to bear a child for him.
However, all of this was disrupted.
Lu Yan no longer existed in this world. He was just a shadow hidden in the dark, he couldn't see the light of day. Moreover, he was crippled and he had the heavy responsibility of revenge on his shoulders.
From 37 years old to 40 years old, all his courage was fading.
She was only 21 years old, she was like a budding flower. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle her youth, he was afraid that she would regret it one day.
Perhaps loving someone, just like how he was right now, there would be a lot of twists and turns.
An 'an had already gotten her answer. She wasn't disappointed, because as she continued to be disappointed, she became numb. She was also tired.
She stretched out her fair hands and pushed his hands away from her shoulders. "Master Yan, from now on, let's go our separate ways. Even if we meet on the streets in the future, let's pretend that we don't know each other, alright?"
"Lastly," An 'an curved her red lips, "Master Yan, don't live in the past anymore. You have to face the reality. You're no longer the man whom all the wealthy ladies in the Capital City adored three years ago. You're old and your legs are crippled. It's not that others are queuing up to get a number to sleep with you, it's that you won't even have the chance to make an appointment with me in the future!"
With that, An 'an left.
…
She's gone.
The room quieted down. There was no sound at all. It was dead silent.
Lu Yan froze on the spot. A few seconds later, he walked over to the bed and removed his black T-shirt.
The man's muscular chest was imprinted in her vision. His bronze-colored skin rose and fell continuously, exuding a sexy luster. His handsome shoulders and the open shoulder blades on his back formed a straight line. He was thick and wide, with eight packs and a tight waistline. He was wearing navy blue trousers and an ordinary black leather belt, wild and charming.
There was a hideous knife scar on his chest. The scar had been treated simply, but it had torn open again and blood was seeping out.
He didn't pay much attention to it. He reached into his trouser pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. He took one out and lit it up, starting to smoke.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and a deep, magnetic voice came from outside. "Ah Yan."
It was Lu Jinwen.
"Come in."
The door opened and Lu Jinwen walked in.
Looking at the smoke in the room, Lu Jinwen furrowed his brows. "You're injured, why are you smoking again?"
Lu Yan looked up in the smoke and smiled. "Uncle Jin, congratulations on your wedding."
Lu Jinwen's gaze was gentle. "I saw Gu An 'an going out just now. Did you two quarrel?"
Lu Yan leaned against the counter indolently, one hand in his trouser pocket. He brought the cigarette to his lips and took a deep puff. He lowered his eyes and furrowed his brows. "We didn't quarrel."
"Ah Yan." Lu Jinwen patted Lu Yan's shoulder. "I didn't agree with you entering this line of work. When you save someone, you'll want to save more people. The burden on your shoulders is heavy and you'll feel a strong sense of mission. You won't be able to stop in the future."
Lu Yan puffed out a mouthful of smoke and smiled. "Sometimes when I'm tired, I've thought of stopping, but … I've never thought of stopping on this path."
"Three years ago, when you couldn't protect the country and the family, didn't you think about it?"
Lu Yan shook his head. "No."
Lu Jinwen sighed. He recalled the first time he had met Lu Yan among the beggars. Back then, Lu Yan had snatched a piece of meat from a rich merchant when he couldn't finish it. Lu Yan had thrown the meat to his younger brothers and sisters while he had been beaten up by the rich merchant's bodyguards.
This was a man with a strong personality and was filled with faith.
There was a pure land in his heart, untainted and filled with love.
Lu Yan was a hot-blooded man. For 40 years, he had been through prosperity and had endured loneliness. He had a pure heart.
He was cleaner and purer than anyone else in the world.
"Ah Yan, these days I've been thinking that if I could return to the past, when Xuanji was chasing after me, I should turn around and tell her that I love her. If a man doesn't say it, how would a woman know that you love her?
"Gu An 'an too. You knew that if you gave her your hand, she would leave with you, but you just didn't do it."
Lu Yan froze in the midst of smoking.
Lu Jinwen took the cigarette out of his hand and put it out in the ashtray. "Don't smoke so much. I'll get the doctor to treat your wound. Don't show your face tonight. I'll arrange for someone to send you away tomorrow."
…
After Lu Jinwen left, Lu Yan gradually regained his senses. He pursed his thin lips and touched his cigarette pack before letting go of it.
He picked out a black shirt with his long fingers and wore it. He opened the glass window of the balcony and stood outside.
From this angle, he could see everything below.
His deep brown eyes quickly captured a pretty figure in the crowd. An 'an came downstairs. Tang Mo' er held onto her delicate hand. "An 'an, let's go have dinner."
"Okay, little sister-in-law, where's Sister Shiyu?"
"Shiyu should be watching two men … fight now!"
An 'an was stunned and promptly smiled. "Little sister-in-law, you must have come up with some bad ideas again!"
Tang Mo 'er winked playfully and pulled An' an to sit down. She picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of fish in An 'an's bowl. "An' an, you have to eat more and fatten yourself up!"
"Thank you, little sister-in-law."
