She said that his father was definitely not a thief.
The past that had been buried deep in his heart was like a thorn in his flesh. Just a slight touch would cause him to be in so much pain that he wished he was dead. Lu Yan's brown eyes were bloodshot. He stretched his calloused hand out to hold her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
"Let me hug you for a while." He buried his head in her hair.
An 'an quietly allowed him to hug her. In his arms, she raised her hand to stroke his short hair and gently caressed it. "My Little Yan, it's been hard on you. Be good, I'll dote on you in the future."
She coaxed him like a puppy. Lu Yan's thin lips curved into a gentle smile. "Little rascal, you're getting more and more daring."
An 'an laughed and hugged him tightly.
On the dimly lit staircase, they hugged each other tightly. Lu Yan's handsome face was hidden in the darkness and she couldn't see his face clearly. After a long while, he said, "My father is not a thief. He brought money with him."
After so many years, this was the first time he mentioned his father.
Everyone said that his father was a thief, but no one believed it.
An 'an hugged his muscular waist tightly. "Mm, I believe in Dad. You're not alone."
She was here. She had always been here.
She would accompany him.
Lu Yan's handsome features were cold and hard. The wound in his heart was torn open again and it was dripping with blood. He suddenly retracted his arms and hugged her delicate body tightly, pulling her into his embrace. "I can't protect them. Dad can't protect them, and so can Mom …"
When he said "Mom", his deep voice was hoarse, and it was suffocating and oppressive.
An 'an felt the pain. His body was as hard as steel and when he was angry, he almost crushed her into pieces. She felt as though she was about to fall apart.
But she didn't make a sound. How could the pain in her body compare to the pain in her heart? Her heart ached for him so much.
Lu Yan was a man of indomitable spirit, but there was eternal pain in his heart.
He had saved many people, and he was on the path of saving more and more people. After so many years, he had never stopped.
But he couldn't save his own parents.
He couldn't save his father who had died in prison, and couldn't save his mother who had jumped into the river. The young him could only watch as they were bullied and sullied.
He hated himself.
He hated himself.
He hated himself for being so useless.
For so many years, he had put a heavy shackle on himself, and he was not willing to let himself go.
An An could feel every inch of his body tensing up. He was breathing, and he was trembling.
She quickly patted his back and said in a soft voice, "Mummy must have loved Little Yan very much, right? Daddy left and she didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. She only had herself and used herself to protect Little Yan."
Lu Yan buried his face in her neck, the bloody wound was stirred up and the pain was unbearable. All his memories returned to that day many years ago, the moment he pushed open the door to the house.
"Mom was pressed … on the bed. I pushed the door open and Mom turned her face around. That scene, Mom's face was … covered in tears …"
His eyes were filled with tears of humiliation, pain, and despair.
If it weren't for him, his mother would rather die than suffer such humiliation.
The scenes of the past flashed through his mind. Lu Yan hugged the person in his arms tightly. Every breath he took was painful, it was so painful that his eyes were burning up. It was so painful that he couldn't even control his hot tears anymore.
He bit his lips, burying his face in her neck and crying bitterly.
Many years ago, he had retrieved his father's ashes. When he saw his mother's body being fished out of the river, he didn't shed a single tear.
He sat there from night till dawn, carrying his backpack and crossing the mountains to the Capital.
He had never cried before.
But at this moment, he was hugging the girl he loved, and he was crying silently.
This was a tear that had been overdue for more than 20 years.
An 'an didn't know how to console him, she could only hug him as tightly as he did. Big droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she was sobbing for him.
When he was suffering, she wasn't even born yet.
He had never wished for her to be born ten or twenty years earlier. Even if he was a poor kid from the mountains and she was an illegitimate daughter abandoned by a rich family, it didn't matter. She would give him a big hug and accompany him for the longest time. She would never have thought that he would be born ten or twenty years earlier.
Perhaps, he would be alone for her. Perhaps, the diamond ring on his neck was already on her finger. Perhaps, she was pregnant, and she had a bunch of children by her side.
There were so many regrets.
It was such a pity.
Lu Yan, who was in his forties, was crying like a child.
But for a person with great love, all the hardships and hardships would transform into the sharpest sword in his hands. With the most tenacious determination and the purest faith, he would be able to walk further than anyone else.
Such a person would make others look up to him.
That was why the Capital's Master Yan had captivated the hearts of many young ladies from wealthy families. They couldn't tell what was so good about him. His handsome looks and strong body were everywhere in the mortal world, so it wasn't enough to make them fall for him.
Why did they fall for Lu Yan? That was because there was a ray of light around him, and he was walking on the path of greatness. Under the sun, despite the hardships and hardships, he shone brightly.
An 'an patted his back gently and pitifully. "Just cry. You'll be fine once you cry. It's not Ma Yingyan's fault. Daddy and Mommy love Ma Yingyan, and Ma Yingyan loves Daddy and Mommy."
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he had already regained his composure and wasn't shocked at all.
He slowly let go of An 'an.
An 'an cupped his handsome face with both hands, tiptoed to kiss the tears on his face, and kissed his eyes.
The wound in Lu Yan's heart seemed to be healed by a gentle hand. He held her waist and kissed her red lips.
Their tongues touched, and both of them used all their strength.
An 'an took the initiative to kiss him back, hugging his neck and hooking the tip of his tongue. They only let go when they were panting heavily.
"What happened to that b * stard after that?" An 'an asked.
Lu Yan didn't let go of her, nuzzling his nose against her delicate face. At the mention of the village head, the corners of his lips kicked up. His smile was cold and sinister. "He's long dead. I got someone to cut off his flesh piece by piece and fed it to the dogs."
He deserved it.
That was the price he had to pay.
"Lu Yan, you've done well. You've finally avenged Daddy and Mommy." An 'an curved her red lips.
Lu Yan laughed, and his husky voice was filled with adoration. "Who's your daddy and mommy? Don't be shy at all."
Those were his parents, and now they had become her parents.
An 'an also felt embarrassed. She stuck her tongue out and looked at him with teary eyes.
