"If Mom likes it, I like it too."
Lin Chu didn’t actually want her son to enter the adult world so early, so she just mentioned it casually. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Qi Ming was only four years old, and she already found it a bit difficult to hold him. After turning off the TV, she habitually picked him up, "Come on, let’s take a bath and go to bed."
————
The house where Lin Chu lived was under Jiang Yichen’s name.
Although not particularly luxurious, it was already beyond her current financial capacity because it was close to the city center, so it was inevitably a bit noisy.
Lin Chu was used to keeping the windows open, and after living there for so many years, she had actually gotten used to it.
She was truly tired.
So after coaxing Qi Ming to sleep, she would basically fall asleep instantly upon returning to her room.
She had no idea that there were two more people in the house.
Until the warm liquid was fed into her mouth, and that cold scent invaded her nostrils, she woke up from her dreams in shock.
The room lights were off, but she still accurately recognized the man who was pressing on her, "Lu Huai’an!"
Even though five years had passed, the nightmare this man brought her was still as vivid as if it happened yesterday.
Why did he come looking for her?
How was he able to silently slip into her room?
So, the feeling of being watched all the way was not an illusion.
"It’s me."
The man’s deep voice seemed to carry a slight hint of amusement, perhaps because she hadn’t gotten his name wrong.
Reaching his arm toward the headboard, he pressed the wall lamp’s switch, and the soft light illuminated the bedroom.
The woman, who had just been in a deep sleep, was now fully awake.
Lu Huai’an’s deep gaze locked onto her small face, his large hand slowly brushed over her brow and eyes, and his deep voice carried a complex emotion, "Xiao Chu, long time no see."
Lin Chu instinctively began to struggle, lifting the thin blanket to get out of bed, but she was already pulled back by the man.
All her strength was used to pound the man’s shoulders and chest, her hoarse voice almost a scream, "Get out!"
The glaring red, like a sharp sword, pierced into her mind, and she struggled and fled desperately, as if Lu Huai’an was a beast bringing that sharp sword.
Even looking at him felt like torture.
Lu Huai’an didn’t deliberately restrain the woman’s hands and feet, he just held her body in his arms, letting her fists land wherever.
"Don’t be so loud, you’ll wake the child."
With those calm words from the man, Lin Chu quieted down.
Panic flashed in her eyes, but then she mockingly laughed at herself.
He clearly knew which room she lived in, so how could he not know about Qi Ming’s existence?
She was trapped in the man’s arms, although her limbs were free, there was no way she could break free.
Her nails mercilessly dug into the back of the man’s hand, leaving red marks, her gaze as cold as if she was looking at a stranger, "If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police."
Lu Huai’an was unfazed by Lin Chu’s silent retaliation.
For a man, time had settled into maturity and craftiness. Compared to five years ago, the current Lu Huai’an was better at enduring.
"Xiao Chu," his large hand turned to envelop her hand, his fingertip slowly rubbed her thumb’s web, his dark eyes deep as an endless sea, "I’m here to take you home."
Lin Chu sneered, forcefully pulling out the hand that was being held, her expression icy to the extreme, but her heaving chest revealed her disgust and anger.
Home?
Her home had long since been destroyed.
No one knew how she managed to survive five years ago, even though that city buried her only relative, she didn’t have the courage to take another step there.
"I won’t go back with you."
Lu Huai’an’s expression didn’t change, his voice calm and steady, "It’s not up to you."
See, people don’t change easily. What he was like five years ago, he is still like now.
The domineering and aggressive nature embedded in his bones, he didn’t bother to hide.
Lin Chu’s refined features were full of sarcasm, "Try tying me up, I don’t believe you can fly a helicopter over here without alerting Jiang Yichen."
Her meaning was clear.
It’s impossible for her to obediently go back to An City with him, unless he ties her up and carries her back.
There are always fearless people on a plane, with someone her size being tied up, he definitely wouldn’t succeed unless he brought a helicopter over.
Lu Huai’an could pull off both things, and without Jiang Yichen’s presence, undoubtedly by tomorrow, Lin Chu would already be treading on An City’s soil.
Five years ago, Jiang Yichen was able to take Lin Chu away from Lu Huai’an’s territory without a sound, demonstrating he still had that capability.
At the mention of Jiang Yichen, Lu Huai’an’s dark eyes dimmed, his grip on the woman’s hand unknowingly tightened.
"No need to go through so much trouble," his leisurely voice carried a hint of danger, "there was something in the water I just gave you, don’t worry, it has no side effects on the body. I tried it before giving it to you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chu’s struggling movements froze completely.
The reason she woke from a deep sleep was because of the liquid forced into her mouth.
Lu Huai’an wouldn’t lie; if he said it, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do.
Facing her cold gaze, Lu Huai’an’s lips curled slightly, his dark voice calmly stating, "It’s very easy to bring an unconscious person back to An City."
From the very start, he never expected Lin Chu to cooperate willingly.
She had such a fierce nature; of course, she wouldn’t let him manipulate her.
Lin Chu could feel her body starting to lose strength, her smile in her eyes seemed both mocking and lamenting.
"You really would use any means; if you dare to take me back, be prepared to have your life on a knife-edge every second."
Such a threat, clearly, Lu Huai’an wouldn’t care about it at all.
Since he came, he wasn’t going to let go easily.
The person in his arms stopped struggling, his grip around her waist naturally loosened, and since it was summer, the nightgown was of course the thinnest kind, he could clearly feel the bones of her back.
She had lost so much weight.
In the room next door, slept his own flesh and blood.
Five years ago, the doctor had said that her body wasn’t well. Even if she got pregnant, giving birth would be a few degrees more painful than for the average person.
She was afraid of pain, she’d been afraid since she was a child.
"The phoenix trees along the roads of An City have the lushest branches and leaves this season, and they look very pretty when the weather’s nice. I’ll take you back to see them."
All the excuses, none were more ridiculous than this.
