Chapter 299 She No Longer Needs Him
In the bedroom in the basement, snow-white candles burned in silver candlesticks, and the dim light filled the not-so-spacious space.
Meng Anran threw the used silver needle into the trash can and sighed tiredly.
I didn't expect that I would give Lu Yi acupuncture yesterday and Lu Heng acupuncture today. Neither of these two brothers is in good health.
"You've been thinking too much for a long time, and your emotions suddenly found an outlet, causing your blood to surge." Meng Anran pulled the quilt up on Lu Heng. "Sleep for a while, I'll make you something hot."
Lu Heng was not at all sleepy, his amber pupils appearing dark and deep in the dim environment. "Is the food you cooked edible?"
Meng Anran: ...
Qin Mu couldn't help laughing, "I'll go."
"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Anran looked at Qin Mu gratefully. The other party pinched her face lovingly without any complaints.
As long as it was someone An Xiaoran recognized, he would not be hostile to him. Since An Xiaoran could call Lu Heng "big brother", he would also regard Lu Heng as his big brother.
Qin Mu asked where the kitchen was and went out.
Kenai took the opportunity to step forward, clutching the notebook he always kept with him. "Mr. Lu, would you be willing to undergo a psychological evaluation?"
Lu Heng did not answer Kenai's question, but kept his eyes on Meng Anran, as if he was afraid that everything in front of him was just an illusion, and that she would disappear in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Meng Anran then remembered to introduce: "Ke Nai is my friend and also my psychiatrist. Let him do a psychological test on you... okay?"
There was an almost pleading tone in her tone when she said the last three words.
Lu Heng slowly retracted his gaze and glanced at Kenai, "Okay."
Meng Anran helped Lu Heng up, let him lean against the headboard, and pulled the quilt for him. "Then I'll go wait outside and make you a cup of calming tea."
"Yeah." Lu Heng watched Meng Anran leave with a dazed look in his eyes.
I never dared to dream that there would be a day when Meng Anran would take care of him with such gentleness and care.
In the past, he was someone she feared and hated.
He is the cold-blooded "god" in her heart who treats all living beings like ants.
Ke Nai keenly caught the emotion in his eyes and threw out a message at the right time: "An Ran's condition has improved a lot. She has been missing you all the time and cried several times because of this."
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment and looked at Kenai in surprise, as if confirming with his eyes that these words were true.
Kenai nodded slightly in confirmation and added, "According to Qin Mu, An Ran is no longer afraid of dogs. Last week, when she returned to Meng's house, she showed no resistance to the Samoyed her brother raised."
"Really?" Lu Heng lowered his eyes and murmured softly, "That's good. She can return to her normal life."
She is no longer troubled by nightmares and no longer indifferent to her emotions. She is now a "normal person".
"You can too." Kenai said lightly: "She hopes you can. She hopes you can appear in her life in the future. Otherwise, she wouldn't take the risk to fly over to find you."
Lu Heng was slightly stunned, and was obviously moved by what Kona said.
Didn't he also wish that he could always be with her?
But Meng Anran is no longer the little girl who used to run after him.
She is confident, strong and has the ability to break through any obstacles.
She no longer needs him.
Kenai accurately judged what he was thinking, opened his notebook, and continued: "Even the most powerful people have emotional needs. She has been emotionally unstable recently because of what happened between you and Lu Yi. She has feelings for you and needs feedback from you. Otherwise..."
Lu Heng suddenly looked up and asked, "Otherwise what?"
Kenai said, "Overthinking will affect your health, just like what you are experiencing now."
Lu Heng pursed his lips, his deep voice tinged with coldness: "Aren't we going to take a psychological test? Let's get started."
…
Outside, Meng Anran brewed some calming tea and sat at the long table, waiting. Her fingertips tapped unconsciously on the tabletop, her peach blossom eyes roaming the dim basement.
The room was decorated in a Western European style, with sterling silver products displayed everywhere. Various silver knives were neatly arranged on the fireplace, gleaming coldly under the candlelight.
Such a small and secluded space still has Lu Heng's style.
But the air here was stagnant, with the fire burning and the heater on, the stench of blood was amplified infinitely. Even with the fresh air system, staying there for a long time still made one feel a bit short of oxygen.
It turned out that the place where he had to stay for a few days every month was not comfortable. He tried his best to hide his weakness deep down.
Just like this basement, dark, suffocating, and without sunlight.
"Not over yet?"
Qin Mu walked in with beef porridge and saw Meng Anran sitting there alone. He knew that a psychological assessment was still going on in the room.
He sat down beside Meng Anran, put down the tray, and the porridge in the silver bowl rippled slightly due to the vibration.
"There are no other ingredients here except beef, so I simply cooked some porridge." He originally wanted to cook it healthier so that Lu Heng could get more nutrition.
Unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice, so I can only deal with it simply.
"That's enough." Meng Anran took Qin Mu's hand and said coquettishly, "Qin Mu, it's great to have you."
"You just realized how good I am now?" Qin Mu teased deliberately, holding her hand which was slightly sweaty due to the overheating of the heater, and gently wiped the wetness on her palm with a piece of tissue.
Meng Anran didn't directly answer Qin Mu's question, but instead brought up the conversation she had with Liu Zhi a few days ago: "The other day, Zhizhi asked me if there was ever a moment when I would impulsively think of marrying you."
"Hmm?" Qin Mu suddenly looked up at her, surprised and curious: "How did you answer?"
"No." Meng Anran said these two words with a smile, which earned her a resentful look from Qin Mu. She continued, "My desire to marry you is a conclusion I've reached after spending a long time with you. It's not something I did on impulse."
Qin Mu's pupils trembled, and his eyes instantly became as soft as the water in a lake in spring, and the upturned curve at the corners of his lips could no longer be suppressed.
He lowered his head and continued what he was doing. His voice was clear and light: "I know, I have always been able to confirm your feelings. What I am waiting for is the time when you feel it is appropriate to get married."
Meng Anran pulled back one hand, took out two slightly melted candies from her pocket, opened one and put it in her mouth, then handed the other to him, "This candy is quite sweet."
Qin Mu was slightly startled, then he curled the corners of his lips, leaned over and kissed her lips, his tongue nimbly snatching the sweetness of the fruit candy.
"The one in your mouth has the taste I like."
