The next day.
Delia brought Lu Yan to the shopping mall, but An 'an still wasn't there.
Delia looked at the time. "Why isn't An 'an here yet?"
Today, Lu Yan wore a navy blue T-shirt with black trousers. He leaned against the wall indolently, his handsome face beneath the baseball cap devoid of any emotions.
At this moment, he heard a delicate voice. "Master Delia, I'm late."
An 'an was here.
Lu Yan froze, quickly lifting his brown eyes to look at An 'an.
An 'an could feel an unhappy gaze landing on her face. She knew that Lu Yan was looking at her.
"An 'an, you're finally here. I brought you shopping today. Here are some jewelry, clothes and bags, you can choose whatever you want."
Delia pointed at the sparkling diamonds under the display window.
"Boss, I'm going to smoke." Lu Yan left.
…
In the corridor.
Lu Yan stuck one hand into his trouser pocket, the other hand holding a cigarette. He was puffing on it.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and a delicate figure appeared in front of him. "Lend me a lighter."
An 'an was here.
An 'an walked in front of him, holding a ladies' cigarette in her hand. She bit the cigarette between her red lips and tiptoed to borrow the lighter from his mouth.
Their faces were close together and their breaths were intertwined. Lu Yan lowered his brown eyes to look at her and snatched the cigarette from her lips. With a slight twist of his thumb, the cigarette broke into two. The rubbish bin was right in front of him. He raised his hand and threw the broken cigarette into the rubbish bin without any hesitation.
"Who did you learn to smoke from? You're not allowed to smoke in the future."
"You're not allowed to smoke either." She stretched her hand out to snatch the cigarette from him.
Lu Yan held onto her slender wrist with the hand holding the cigarette, warning her in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble."
He threw her wrist away, bringing the cigarette to his thin lips and took a puff.
He was angry.
"I know you're angry that I'm not listening to you, but the motive this time is to get Delia's personal seal. It's not easy to get such an important thing. Based on Delia's current obsession with me, you should know that I'm the most suitable candidate."
Lu Yan puffed out a mouthful of smoke. His facial features were cold and he lifted his eyelids to look at her impassively. "Are you done?"
"What?"
Lu Yan threw the cigarette butt into the bin and turned to leave.
It was obvious that he didn't want to waste his breath on her.
"…"
An 'an stepped forward and stretched out her hands to hug his muscular waist. She hugged him from behind.
Lu Yan stopped in his tracks.
"Ah Yan, open your eyes and look at me. I'm no longer the An 'an who needs you to protect me in your arms. I can also bear the wind and rain alone. I want to be a woman who can give you warmth at home and stand shoulder to shoulder with you outside."
Lu Yan's gaze changed, he turned around and stretched his hand out to touch her flat stomach.
He thought about her stomach all the time.
"Ah Yan," An 'an held his hand. "I used a pregnancy test last night. I'm not pregnant."
Lu Yan looked up at her. "You're really not pregnant?"
"Yes." An 'an nodded.
Lu Yan retracted his hand and stuck it into his pocket.
An 'an felt a sense of loss. He had been very hesitant in this relationship. He thought she was pregnant, so his attitude changed.
He was a forty-year-old man who had a child at such an old age. He must be happy and had more responsibilities to consider.
Now that she wasn't pregnant, did he … not want her anymore?
At least it wasn't as painful as yesterday.
She pouted her red lips and wanted to say something. "Ah Yan …"
But at this moment, Delia called out from outside. "An 'an."
Delia was looking for her.
"Ah Yan, I'll go out first." An 'an could only leave.
…
Outside. An 'an walked over. "Master Delia, I went to the washroom just now. Were you looking for me?"
"An 'an, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Qianqian."
There was a tall beauty standing beside Delia. She had a beautiful face and a perfect figure. She was very attractive.
An 'an curved her red lips and looked at Delia. "I don't think she's your cousin. She's your lover."
"Don't spout nonsense. Qianqian has someone she likes."
Really?
An 'an glanced at Qianqian.
At this moment, a tall and muscular figure walked over. It was Lu Yan.
Lu Yan had both hands in his pockets and he wore a baseball cap on his head. His footsteps were steady and calm. He looked low-profile, mysterious and cold.
Qianqian's eyes lit up and she quickly ran forward. "Da Shan, long time no see. Did you miss me?"
The smile on An 'an's face instantly froze. So Qianqian liked Lu Yan.
His first impression of Qianqian was that she was cold and aloof, just like a rich missy. But now that Qianqian was surrounding Lu Yan and smiling sweetly, it was obvious that she had let go of her status as a rich missy. She was petite and obedient, and there was even a hint of flattery in her pretty eyes.
"Da Shan." Qianqian called out, stretching her hand out to hold Lu Yan's arm.
Holding hands was an intimate action between couples. An 'an looked at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan didn't look at her. When Qianqian wanted to hold his muscular arm, he retracted his arm without batting an eyelid.
He glanced at Qianqian indifferently and lazily.
Qianqian pouted her red lips aggrievedly. "Da Shan, have you forgotten about me because you have another woman outside?"
Lu Yan still had both hands in his pockets. He wasn't impatient, but he was very perfunctory. "Elder Miss, don't joke around."
At this moment, Delia laughed out loud. "Da Shan, ever since you saved Qianqian previously, she hasn't been able to forget you. How about it? Are you interested in becoming my brother-in-law? Don't be my chauffeur anymore. I'll give you a hall to manage."
Qianqian instantly looked at Lu Yan with anticipation.
Lu Yan pursed his thin lips and didn't say a word.
He didn't agree, nor did he object.
An 'an didn't feel good. She stretched her hand out and tugged at Delia. "Master Delia, you said that you're going to bring me out to shop today. Why are you acting like a matchmaker now?"
"An 'an, are you blaming me for neglecting you? Let's go, let's pick out some jewelry first."
Qianqian said happily, "Da Shan, let's look at jewelry too."
Qianqian pulled Lu Yan to the shiny display window and pointed at a rose gold bracelet. "Da Shan, do you think this is pretty?"
Lu Yan stood tall, his hand in his pocket leaning against the display window. He said lazily, "You can buy it yourself. I don't have money."
"…"
Qianqian's face fell. She knew that he didn't have money. He had only been a chauffeur for a month and he hadn't even received his salary for this month.
"Da Shan, what do you think of this watch? It's a limited edition. I'll buy it for you as a gift," Qianqian said.
The shop assistant looked at Lu Yan with disdain. This man didn't have money and yet he was asking a woman to buy him an expensive gift. One look and he could tell that he was living off a woman.
