Chapter 300 I Can't Protect You
Inside the room, Lu Heng had already completed the sandbox test. Kenai looked at the test results written down in his notebook, his brows furrowed in a complex expression.
The results showed that Lu Heng had a strong aversion to the Lu family, but did not show that he had any mental illness.
"When did you discover that you had symptoms of bloodthirstiness?" Conai closed his notebook and used the most basic method to analyze the secret hidden in Lu Heng's heart.
Lu Heng twisted the amber on the bracelet one by one with his fingertips, carefully recalling for a long time, and gave a definite answer: "The third day after An Ran was born."
He remembered that it was a week before his sister was brought back to the Lu family villa by the housekeeper. Counting the days, it was the third day after his sister was born.
"Has your body not shown any abnormalities before this?"
"No."
The cause of the disease is unknown, which is really too strange. Kenai suspects that Lu Heng has concealed some important details.
However, the fact is, since Lu Heng promised Meng Anran to cooperate with Kenai's test, he would definitely answer truthfully.
Not to mention Conai, when he discovered that he had an abnormal desire for blood, even he was shocked and didn't understand why he suddenly fell ill.
I thought it might be the Lu family's oppression that caused his psychological distortion, but looking at Kenai's indescribable expression at this moment, it seems that it is not that simple.
The door was pushed open a crack, and a pair of dark eyes peeked out.
Lu Heng and Ke Nai both looked over. Seeing those beautiful peach blossom eyes, Lu Heng's originally cold expression softened a little.
The sister who observes secretly is so cute...
Seeing that they had discovered her, Meng Anran simply pushed the door open and went in. "It's been so long and the test isn't finished yet? The porridge and calming tea are almost cold."
"Okay." Kenai stood up and gave up the chair beside the bed. Meng Anran took the tray and sat down.
"Have some porridge first." She picked up the steaming beef porridge. The heat from the silver bowl made her fingertips turn red quickly, but her expression did not show any abnormality.
Lu Heng noticed it and reached out to take the bowl. "I'm not disabled. I don't need to be taken care of like this."
Meng Anran lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, like a child who had done something wrong, "Then... I'll leave?"
Lu Heng's hand holding the spoon suddenly trembled. He looked up and saw Meng Anran staring at him with a cunning smile.
"Ke Nai, come out and have a cup of tea." Qin Mu said as he stood at the door. Seeing that the brother and sister were in a good mood, Ke Nai followed Qin Mu out.
It just so happened that he also had to analyze the sandbox test he had just conducted on Lu Heng, as he might have missed something.
It has to be said that the children raised by the Lu family are impeccable in their manners.
Lu Heng ate the boiling hot porridge without making any sound, as elegantly as if this was not ordinary beef porridge, but shark fin soup from a five-star hotel.
He ate in small bites, his expression as indifferent as usual, as if he had no thoughts at all. Meng Anran sat beside him, holding her chin and watching him eat.
When the porridge in the bowl was empty, Lu Heng put the bowl on the bedside table, and Meng Anran handed him a napkin at the right time.
"Lu Yi hasn't caused you any trouble recently, right?" His voice was low and cold, but he couldn't hide his concern for Meng Anran.
Mentioning Lu Yi, Meng Anran's mood instantly darkened, and the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared, "He..."
Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, "What happened to him? Did he get sick again and hurt you?"
"No." Meng Anran shook her head, sighed wearily, and told the truth: "He thought you were in danger in Country A and wanted to come find you, but he fell into Bai Yujin's trap and was seriously injured. Yesterday, he was toxic to Bai Yujin's newly developed medicine, vomited blood and fell into a coma. He is now recuperating in Lihua Garden and has not regained consciousness yet."
Lu Heng gritted his teeth and cursed in a deep voice, "Idiot."
He jumped into such an obvious trap. This guy must have taken too many drugs and his IQ has dropped.
"Care too much and you will be confused." Meng Anran said in a low voice with his head down.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, "Are you speaking for him?"
"No." Meng Anran quickly denied it and handed over the calming tea. "Drink it and take a nap. Come back to Beijing with me at dawn."
Lu Heng took the calming tea and put it back on the bedside table, staring at her seriously: "Why is Lu Yi in Lihua Garden?"
"I guessed that the dog at the Ming family's cocktail party wasn't released by Lu Yi, so I went looking for him. I found him covered in wounds, hiding in the basement of Lu's Pharmaceuticals, so I brought him back to Lihua Garden to heal his wounds." Meng Anran finished speaking, and then stubbornly explained, "I'm not concerned about him. I'm afraid that one day when he dies, he'll drag me down with him. If I don't control him, who knows what he'll do."
Lu Heng curled the corners of his lips slightly. It seemed that his sister had really changed.
They are more confident and powerful than before, no longer needing protection from others, but are also more humane and can in turn become a protector for others.
He finally picked up the cup of calming tea and drank it all in one gulp.
After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "So, do you still hate me?"
Meng Anran's hand, which was about to take the cup, paused, but quickly returned to normal and looked away. "I don't know. I have a question that I can't figure out."
"you say."
"Why didn't you let me stay in Yatang to study medicine? Instead, you brought me back to the vortex of the business world?"
Although she had to admit that the fame-seeking and profit-seeking business world was more suitable for her than being a doctor in Yatang who was indifferent to worldly affairs and had no integrity.
But she still didn't understand. If Lu Heng really cared about her at that time, why did he use such tough means to take her away?
"Born into the Lu family, you don't have the right to pursue your dreams." Lu Heng's voice was heavy and majestic, and a determined light flashed in his deep eyes. "Especially as a girl, if you don't hold power and benefits in your hands, you will always be destined to be sent to an arranged marriage."
His eyes suddenly relaxed and his eyelashes drooped, "I can't protect you."
The candlelight flickered on his angular face, and the crow feathers cast a shadow, covering his eyes that could not hide his thoughts.
The space fell into a strange silence.
The melted white candle flowed down the silver candlestick and solidified on the edge of the candlestick before dripping onto the table, like an icicle hanging from the eaves.
The sound of breathing broke the silence, and Meng Anran let out a long breath, as if some of the sorrow that had been suppressed in her heart for many years was expelled from her body with her breath.
She smiled faintly, "You are still so annoying."
But I don’t seem to hate you anymore.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Qin Mu pushed it open and walked in, holding Meng Anran's cell phone, which was vibrating non-stop in his hand.
"An Xiaoran, this is Duan Jingyao calling."
Meng Anran answered the phone. The moment she put it to her ear, a slightly anxious voice rang out from the receiver: "Anran, have you found my brother?"
She subconsciously glanced at Lu Heng, and Lu Heng shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't want to talk to Duan Jingyao.
Meng Anran respected his decision and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Well, he's safe in Country A. I'll ask you to manage the group well, and we'll talk about other things later."
