When An Ning met Lu Xiyan again after four years, she was wearing the cheapest clothes from a wholesale market, had just been slapped, and was squatting at his feet picking up hospital payment slip...
Chapter 217 A Way Home
Hearing her words, Cheng Shao and Han Yun were slightly surprised.
An Ning knew that this sentence was a bit cruel to them, but for her, returning to the Cheng family made no sense.
Twenty-eight years.
She feels familiar with Dianhai and has ties and concerns about the An family.
The only thing he was unfamiliar with was the Cheng family.
She couldn't adapt to a new family.
Besides, for her, she already has a home.
She didn't have a warm home when she longed for it the most.
Now Lu Xiyan has given her a complete home.
She didn't want to go anywhere.
After drifting for so long, I finally reached my destination.
"Why?"
Han Yun choked up and asked, "Are you still blaming Mom and Dad?"
Facing An Ning, her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.
Whether it was six years ago or six years later, she had embarrassed An Ning time and time again and hurt An Ning with condescending words.
He even slapped her!
She even slapped her own daughter!
Thinking of this, Han Yun felt heartbroken.
"I'm sorry... Mom didn't mean it..."
"If mom knew you were my biological daughter, how could I bear to hurt you..."
"If I knew you were my daughter, how could I hit you? I love you so much, my daughter..."
"Ningning!" Han Yun's face was covered with tears, and she held her hand tightly. "Mom didn't mean it. I know you feel wronged. You can blame me or not forgive me, but you are my daughter. Can you come home with me?"
She burst into tears. Cheng Shao lowered his head, wiped his wet eyes, and lowered his head to cry.
Unexpectedly, he had once crushed his own daughter's happiness with his own hands.
An Ning's tears fell, "I'm sorry..."
She let Han Yun hold her hand tightly, raised her eyes to meet her extremely guilty gaze, "I know, it wasn't you who abandoned me, so I don't blame you, nor do I resent you."
"But..." An Ning felt a pang of pain in her heart. She curled her lips, pointed at her heart, and cried, "I have too many grievances, too many bad experiences, too many twists and turns..."
She turned her head away, trying to control the tears that kept falling.
"I really...I really can't call you mom and dad."
"I could be An Ning, who grew up in the most ordinary An family in the prosperous Jinghai Village, or Jiang Zhi, the daughter of the Jiang family, a family of medical experts in the southern Dianhai area. But... I don't want to be Cheng Wanwan."
"At least now, I don't think I should return to the Cheng family."
Hearing her words, Han Yun burst into tears.
Cheng Shao wiped his tears and nodded, "Okay, okay, Dad understands you, Mom and Dad won't force you now, anyway, we still have a lot of time, Mom and Dad will give you time."
"One month, two months, one year, two years, it's all fine." Cheng Shao looked at her with bloodshot eyes, "Whenever you want to go home, you can go home anytime."
"Whenever you want to recognize us, mom and dad are always welcome."
He stood up and bowed deeply to An Ning sincerely, "Dad is sorry!"
An Ning clenched her hands, turned her head and burst into tears.
Twenty-eight years of suffering cannot be erased in a day or two.
She can forgive or let it go.
But she won't forget.
Even though these pains were not caused by biological parents, they were not wrong either.
But she understood that if she went back to the Cheng family now, she would only be replacing Cheng Wanwan, becoming another Cheng Wanwan, and becoming the hope of Cheng Shao and Han Yun.
The table was piled with the gifts they brought, all of which were expensive jewelry and luxury bags, many of the brands she didn't even recognize.
But she had seen most of those styles on Cheng Wanwan.
I guess Cheng Wanwan liked these things very much before, so the Cheng couple tried their best to satisfy her.
But what Cheng Wanwan likes is not what An Ning likes.
She wouldn't be Cheng Wanwan either.
Her attitude was very clear, and Cheng Shao and Han Yun no longer pressed her too much.
Before leaving, Cheng Shao asked her, "Is there anything you want? Or can mom and dad compensate you in any way?"
An Ning shook her head, "I don't need anything."
After sending them to the door, she smiled politely and appropriately, "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Han, take care."
Cheng Shao and Han Yun were slightly startled, then nodded with heavy expressions.
Everyone knows it tacitly. This name is neither unfamiliar nor intimate.
But that was the closest she could get to them.
It’s just this distance.
......
A black Maybach drove into the front yard of Yuhe Public Relations, and several luxury cars parked outside the villa had already driven away.
Lu Xiyan brought An Xian into the living room. Apart from the piles of gifts in the living room, he didn't see anyone else.
Cheng Shao and Han Yun had obviously left.
"Where is the young lady?" he asked the servant.
"The young lady seems to have gone upstairs."
Lu Xiyan asked the servant to take An Xian out to play and went upstairs to find An Ning.
There was no sign of An Ning in the rooms upstairs. Just as she was about to enter the bedroom, she suddenly stopped.
Through the half-open door, he saw a light-colored figure standing in the room with his back to him, seemingly holding something in his hand, looking intently at it.
He walked in quietly, and then he saw clearly——
An Ning stood by the bed, the drawer open, and a bottle of medicine in her hand.
Lu Xiyan was shocked and strode forward.
Before An Ning could react, the medicine bottle in her hand was snatched away, and then she was pulled into a warm and thick embrace and held tightly.
The whole body is filled with the refreshing and pleasant scent of men, which is familiar and reassuring.
She noticed that the man's heartbeat was very fast, very intense, hitting her heart again and again.
He placed one hand on her back and gently stroked the back of her head with the other, very lightly and gently.
"It's okay, Ningning... It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
When he spoke, his voice was hoarse.
The tone was like coaxing a frightened child.
He held her tightly in his arms, fearing that she would do something extreme.
An Ning hasn't taken this medicine for a long time. She said that she would only take this medicine when she couldn't control her emotions. If she didn't have the medicine to control it, she would hurt herself.
Lu Xiyan didn't know if Cheng Shao and Han Yun had provoked her again during the time he was away, so she took out the medicine again.
His heart ached and he just wanted to hold her tightly to make her less scared.
An Ning was held in her arms, a little dazed.
It took her a while to react, and she raised her hand to hug him back, "I'm fine, Xiyan."
Her tone was calm, and she certainly didn't sound like she was expressing any extreme emotions.
Lu Xiyan let go of her and looked down at her. Her eyes were gentle, and her skin was delicate and translucent, white with a rosy glow.
"What are you doing with the medicine?"
Looking at the medicine he had snatched away, An Ning suddenly smiled, "You were so nervous just now, did you think I wanted to take medicine?"
