Chapter 197 Fight Back

Facing his sharp gaze and heavy breathing, An Ning had no intention of lying.

She told the truth, "I went to the Cheng family."

Without waiting for her to explain the reason, Lu Xiyan's eyes were cold and he asked, "Did Cheng Wanwan hit you?"

"No, it was Han Yun." An Ning added, "Because I hit Cheng Wanwan, she slapped him back on her behalf."

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm not at a loss either."

After she finished speaking, she heard Lu Xiyan's small and short chuckle.

This account is quite clear.

"What are you laughing at?" An Ning raised her eyes and asked.

"Why not?" Lu Xiyan stared at the red mark on her face. "How strong are you? How strong is she? Can you be as strong as her?"

An Ning felt that it seemed to be true. Han Yun's slap was too painful.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Xiyan gave some instructions and turned away. He ran to a small stall selling snow yogurt not far away. After talking to the person there for a few words, the other party handed him something and then a bowl of snow yogurt. He paid and left.

He handed the bowl of snow yogurt to An Ning, "Eat something sweet, it will make you feel better."

Then he raised his hand and reached for her cheek. Suddenly, the cool touch touched her burning face, and An Ning shrank back abruptly.

"It's a bit cold, just bear with it." Lu Xiyan's voice was low and gentle. He held the back of her head with one hand to hold her still and prevent her from moving.

An Ning lowered her eyes and saw clearly that he was holding an ice cube in a transparent plastic bag in his hand, and was applying it gently and softly to her left cheek.

An Ning held the bowl of snow yogurt in her hand and looked up at Lu Xiyan.

The wind blew the strands of hair on his forehead, revealing his slightly cold brows.

From his eyes, she could even see half of her face swollen and red.

He brought them closer, and she could clearly sense a hint of anger in him, but he was trying his best to restrain it.

She suddenly smiled, her eyes curved.

"Xiyan, do you feel this scene is familiar?"

Lu Xiyan was holding an ice cube and carefully touching the red marks on her face, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind full of the thought that her face would be swollen for several days.

After hearing what she said, he asked, "You mean, six years ago?"

An Ning was slightly surprised, "You still remember?"

What she was about to talk about was when they first met six years ago. At that time, she was slapped at her part-time job. It was Lu Xiyan who helped her out and bought ice cubes at a convenience store for her to apply on her face.

If we carefully count the beginning of this relationship, it should be from that time that she fell in love with him.

"Of course I remember." Lu Xiyan raised the corner of his lips, "I remember all the times I first met you."

An Ning asked in surprise, "Including the first time?"

"Yeah." Lu Xiyan nodded, "I still remember it clearly."

An Ning's heart beat faster. She scooped up a spoonful of snow yogurt and put it in her mouth. It was icy and sweet.

She pretended to be casual and asked, "You won't fall in love with me at first sight, will you?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiyan answered simply, "It should be."

An Ning scooped a spoonful of snow yogurt and handed it to her mouth, "Should it be?"

"Be it love at first sight or lust at first sight," Lu Xiyan raised the corner of his lips, "I felt something was different the first time I saw you, and I just wanted to look at you a few more times."

He laughed and said, "Liang Xu and the others said I was just experiencing a temporary novelty, but novelty is ultimately a kind of curiosity and appreciation. I don't deny that it might have been a novelty, but at that time I just wanted to be close to you, to understand you, and even wanted you to appear in front of me all the time so I could see what you were doing."

An Ning had just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect Lu Xiyan to answer her so seriously.

His tone and eyes were so sincere that An Ning's face, which had been slowly getting less swollen, became red and hot again.

She ate the snow yogurt in her hand spoonful by spoonful. It seemed that the snow yogurt today was sweeter than before, sweet to the bottom of her heart.

"I like to see you smile, like to hear you talk, and even can't wait to break into your life and occupy a place in your life."

Lu Xiyan said, slightly lifting her chin, looking into her beautiful eyes, with a smile at the corners of his eyes, "Is this love at first sight?"

When their eyes met, the same excitement she felt six years ago once again surged in An Ning's heart.

She nodded quickly, "Forget it!"

Lu Xiyan smiled, "Have you finished eating?"

An Ning looked down at the half bowl of snow cheese left and said, "I'm done."

Lu Xiyan asked, "Do you feel better?"

An Ning smiled and nodded, "Much better."

"Walk."

As Lu Xiyan spoke, he grabbed her wrist and prepared to take her to the car.

"Going home?" An Ning asked.

Lu Xiyan opened the car door and said, "I'm not going back. I'm going to Lord Cheng's mansion."

An Ning was suddenly startled and stood still by the car door, "What are you doing?"

Lu Xiyan looked at her and said, "Hit back."

An Ning was stunned. "You want me to hit Han Yun?"

Lu Xiyan nodded, "If anyone hits you, hit him back. This slap can't be in vain."

"She's Mrs. Cheng, the wife of the chairman of the Cheng Group." An Ning quickly closed the car door and took Lu Xiyan's hand with both hands, trying to persuade her, "Besides, she's the elder and I'm the younger. This isn't good."

Besides, she came to the house for private matters, and the Cheng family would not spread the news.

But if Lu Xiyan helps her, it will become a public matter, affecting the reputation of both the Cheng Group and the Lu Group, and will seriously affect the generations-long friendship between the two groups.

Especially if this matter is spread by someone with ulterior motives and then widely fabricated and made into an article by the media, even Mr. Lu may not be able to quell this turmoil.

An Ning doesn't care about the Lu family and the Cheng family, but she cares about Lu Xiyan.

Those online guns will definitely be pointed at Lu Xiyan, the pride of the Lu family.

Those rivals who are on the opposite side of the Lu family will seize the opportunity to pull Lu Xiyan down from the clouds and trample him into the mud.

Cyberbullying is too terrible, and she doesn't want to drag Lu Xiyan into the vortex because of this matter.

"What's wrong with that?" Lu Xiyan's eyes were stern. "Even if she is the Queen Mother, she can't hit you."

"But I also beat Cheng Wanwan, and today's incident is-"

Lu Xiyan interrupted her and said, "She deserves it."

An Ning suddenly looked at him blankly with a smile in her eyes.

Although Lu Xiyan looked scary with a cold face, he could control his emotions very well most of the time. This was one of the few times An Ning saw him angry.

She suddenly smiled, "You didn't even ask me why I went to the Cheng family, and why I beat Cheng Wanwan."

Lu Xiyan's brows were still furrowed. "You are not an impulsive person. If you can go to Cheng Gong's mansion to find her, she must have done something excessive."

"That's right." An Ning nodded. "Because I heard from Yucan's classmates that she went to school to look for Yucan a few days before the accident. During those days, someone maliciously hired his classmates to say nasty things just to provoke him."

"After thinking about it, I think the only person who knows that Yucan has a weak heart and cannot be stimulated, and is also very clear about our relationship, is Cheng Wanwan."

"Xiyan, what I want is to find enough evidence to prove that Cheng Wanwan is really guilty." She held Lu Xiyan's arm tightly. "I know you want to support me, but if we go there rashly, the impact will be too great."

Seeing that she had blocked the car door tightly, Lu Xiyan said, "I will find someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, but you must get back this slap."

"But you're right. You're the younger generation, so it's not easy for you to take action." Lu Xiyan suddenly raised his lip, "There must be someone who is qualified to take action."
