Jiang Shuyin blinked at Lu Yan, not daring to miss any expression on his handsome face.

No one knew how long it had been, maybe a minute, or maybe just a few seconds, but to Jiang Shuyin, it felt like a long century.

"Jiang Shuyin." He called her by her full name, his eagle eyes particularly deep and cold.

Jiang Shuyin's heartbeat seemed to be faster.

She had a vague feeling that this was too good.

Before she could say anything, she heard him say in a low and hoarse voice, "You hated me to the core before, but you changed your mind just because you read my diary? Are you sure you have Stockholm syndrome?"

He stopped talking and rolled up her sleeves, wanting to show her the scars on her arms.

However, it turned out that the scars on her arms were lighter but less noticeable.

Jiang Shuyin followed his line of sight and looked at her arm. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile. "I've had a scar removal surgery recently. Let's let go of all the happiness in the past. Life is only a few years long. The most important thing is the present and the future."

After Jiang Shuyin saw clearly what was in his heart, he changed his submissive character.

Although she was afraid of being rejected, she still opened her heart bravely and honestly.

"In fact, Black Desert, I only hate you. I should also like you and rely on you. At that time, I thought you were a criminal. I dare to admit that only by constantly hypnotizing myself and making myself hate you to the core can I feel at ease."

"Your diary just gave me the opportunity to accept you. If I had already fallen deeply in love with you, how could I have liked you just based on a diary?"

She kept saying "I like you" boldly and directly, which made Lu Yan's tall body tense up uncontrollably.

She has a clear distinction between love and hate in her bones, which is neat and refreshing. She is so charming and also so heart-moving.

Only——

He already deserves her love.

He looked deeply at her pretty face with his eagle eyes. Her skin glowed white under the light.

He couldn't help but recall the time when she was still in the special forces and was only nine years old.

She and her teammates went to the primitive jungle for training. At that time, he was on a mission and was injured while chasing criminals. He rolled down a hillside and his life was in danger.

Jiang Shuyin was the first to discover him.

He still clearly remembered the scene where she squatted in front of him, held him in her arms, and fed him water.

Her eyes were clear, and her features had a heroic air that was rare in girls.

After feeding him the water, she fed him some painkillers.

Not long after, his teammates came over.

At that time, he was disguising his face, and she did not see his true face.

But he always remembered her. He recognized her at the first sight of her in the Black Desert.

The little girl who helped him back then.

It's a strange fate that when he wanted to win her favor, she hated him to the core.

When he could no longer like her, she took the initiative to confess her love to him.

Lu Yan sighed helplessly, "Sorry Jiang Shuyin, I never promised you."

His refusal made Jiang Shuyin's heart feel like being pricked by a bee.

The pain spread to every part of her body.

The tip of her nose felt slightly sore and her eye sockets were a little swollen and painful.

She didn't expect that the first time she confessed to him, she would fail like this.

But the little girl in her heart had experienced many ups and downs in her life, and she was able to control her emotions, at least not show them on her face.

"As you said before, our relationship is limited to the little girl and the brat's daddy and mommy, and we each fulfill our obligations and responsibilities. As for emotional matters, we are both doing well."

Jiang Shuyin felt so sad that she wanted to say something. She opened her mouth but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something.

She lowered her long eyelashes, and her slender body froze in place.

Hands and feet, slightly cool.

"You should go back first, I will cook this meal myself." Lu Yan said in a low voice.

Jiang Shuyin tried to calm down. She raised her long eyelashes and looked at the man. "Why, after we became a couple, you don't even let me eat a meal? What's more, I bought all these ingredients."

Lu Yan was slightly stunned.

He thought that after he rejected her, she would leave in anger and shame.

"I'm afraid it would be awkward for you to stay."

Jiang Shuyin chuckled, "You've been rejected by me so many times before, and you weren't embarrassed at all. I've only been rejected once, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Lu Yan: "..."

After Jiang Shuyin calmed down, she took out a document and several bank cards from her bag and said, "I'll return your property to you."

Lu Yan didn't reach out his hand. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "It's yours if I give it to you. Use it if you want. Leave it for the two children in the future."

Jiang Shuyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, "You can give it to them in person later."

"Just take it if I give it to you. I'm a billionaire and I have so much wealth that it'll burn your hands."

Jiang Shuyin, "..."

If he was willing to take it back, Jiang Shuyin would have nothing to say.

She would use his money anyway, and if he left it with her, she would only give it to the two children in the future.

Her confession was rejected. Although she looked calm and composed, she felt bitter inside.

When washing crabs, be careful not to get your fingers pinched by the crab pliers if you are distracted for a moment.

The skin was broken and bright red blood flowed out.

She remembered that one time in the Black Desert, she accidentally hurt her finger, and Lu Yan saw it and sucked her finger without hesitation.

But now——

He was clearly standing beside her and clearly saw her being injured, but his face was calm and indifferent.

He was poisoned by the lily flower, but Qin Xiaoxiao gave him an antidote.

Why on earth did he reject her?

Could it be that he never liked her, and it was only the male possessiveness that was at work?

At this moment, Jiang Shuyin admitted that he really understood him.

After dinner, Jiang Shuyin did not stay to eat with them. Lu Yan's men tried to persuade her to stay several times but failed.

Lu Yan spoke with one word from beginning to end.

Jiang Shuyin left in a hurry.

When she went downstairs, she realized that she had left her cell phone on the kitchen counter and forgot to take it.

She had no choice but to go back upstairs.

The apartment door was not closed tightly. Jiang Shuyin walked over and was about to press the doorbell when she suddenly heard Qin Chuan say:

"Captain Lu, do you really like Miss Jiang?"

Lu Yan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Chuanzi, I remember that Army had a white moonlight in his heart. About seven or eight years ago, Army was injured and I heard that a young girl saved him. Later, when Army returned to the headquarters, I secretly watched Army draw the girl's appearance. It's just that it's been so long, and I can't remember what the girl looked like. Anyway, I remember that she was very beautiful."

As he spoke, Dalong seemed to be thinking of something. He slapped his head suddenly, "I remember that Bai Yueguang, who was favored by the Army, looked a bit like Miss Jiang. No wonder the Army took special care of Miss Jiang in Black Desert. It turned out that they used her as a stand-in!"
