Chapter 833 Man proposes, God disposes
When Fu Nian'an came out of the study, Le Yan was sitting on the sofa in a daze.
The living room was quiet. Fu Nian'an slowly walked up behind her.
A large hand pressed down on the woman's head.
Le Yan's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she turned her head to meet the man's deep gaze.
"You finally have some free time, want to have a drink with me?"
Le Yan was a little surprised, "Drinking? But I can't hold my liquor very well."
"Then drink only a little." Fu Nian'an smiled. "How about I make you some sweet wine?"
"You can?"
“It’s not difficult.” Fu Nian’an raised an eyebrow slightly. “I’ve checked, and I have all the necessary ingredients at home.”
“That’s fine!” Le Yan stood up. “I’ll cook with you.”
Fu Nian'an replied, "Okay."
...
In the kitchen, Fu Nian'an took out apples and oranges from the refrigerator and said to Le Yan, "Go to the wine cabinet and get a bottle of red wine."
Which one should we take?
"Either is fine," Fu Nian'an said calmly. "Take whichever one you like."
Le Yan doesn't know much about wine, but she knows that the wines in Fu Nian'an's wine cabinet must be expensive.
Which one is the cheapest?
Fu Nian'an was peeling an apple when she heard this and couldn't help but glance at Le Yan: "These were all gifts from others, so just take any bottle."
"Oh, okay." Le Yan pursed her lips, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Fu Nian'an watched her retreating figure and sighed inwardly.
...
Fu Nian'an poured a whole bottle of red wine.
This is twice as much as the amount she drank on New Year's Eve last time.
Le Yan assumed that Fu Nian'an also wanted to drink, so she didn't think much of it.
Fu Nian'an first poured a glass of sweet wine and handed it to Le Yan, saying, "It's a bit hot. Take it outside and let it cool down before you drink it."
"Okay!" Le Yan carried the sweet wine out of the kitchen.
Fu Nian'an poured the remaining sweet wine into another glass.
When he came out of the kitchen with another glass of sweet wine, Le Yan was already sitting on the sofa, drinking it alone.
As the hot, sweet wine went down her throat, Le Yan's tense nerves relaxed considerably.
The sweet wine made from good wine is even more mellow and fragrant. The fresh sweetness of the fruit combined with the sweetness of the rock sugar makes this sweet wine even better than the one on New Year's Eve.
Le Yan drank one sip after another, completely absorbed in the drink.
Fu Nian'an did not go up to disturb her.
He intended to get her drunk tonight, which is why he deliberately cooked extra.
Sweet wine warms the stomach, and even if you get drunk, you won't feel unwell.
Fu Nian'an walked over and sat down next to Le Yan.
Le Yan turned her head, saw the wine glass in Fu Nian'an's hand, and smiled, "You're here!"
Fu Nian'an ruffled her hair. "Is it good?"
"Delicious!" After finishing a glass of sweet wine, Le Yan felt a little dizzy, but still relatively clear-headed, though her tone of voice was a bit smug.
Fu Nian'an asked her, "Do you want more?"
Le Yan frowned and glanced at the cup in Fu Nian'an's hand. "Aren't you going to drink?"
"I don't really like sweet drinks, I can just go and open another bottle of foreign liquor."
Le Yan blinked. "Then, you'll give me this cup too?"
Fu Nian'an smiled. "They were all originally for you."
Le Yan laughed upon hearing this, a somewhat silly laugh. She put down her empty cup and took the second cup of sweet wine that Fu Nian'an handed her with both hands.
Actually, she was already a little drunk after finishing one glass.
It was precisely because he was a little drunk that he asked for a second drink.
If she were still conscious, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be so indulgent.
After all, Le Yan herself understood the principle that people speak the truth when they are drunk.
Unfortunately, her alcohol tolerance was far from sufficient.
Besides, Fu Nian'an was deliberately trying to get her completely drunk tonight.
Halfway through her second glass of sweet wine, Le Yan started crying while clutching the glass.
Large tears fell into the blanket. She slumped her head, making no sound, quietly shedding tears, looking pitiful.
Fu Nian'an knew she couldn't drink anymore.
He wanted to take the wine away, but Le Yan refused.
Le Yan held the wine glass tightly in both hands, "This is what you cooked for me, I can't waste it!"
She was sobbing, clutching the cup tightly with both hands, so Fu Nian'an had no choice but to give up.
"Yangyang, you're drunk. Let's go back to our room and sleep."
Le Yan shook her head, "I'm not drunk, and I don't want to sleep. If I fall asleep, I'll have dreams..."
Fu Nian'an felt a tightness in her chest as she listened to her words.
Chu Xing just sent me a document.
The incident where I was almost defiled by a thug in the village when I was 13 years old.
If Lin Minsheng had arrived any later, Le Yan would have been completely ruined...
However, Le Yan resisted fiercely at the time, and her lower leg was broken, and she also had many other injuries from being violently beaten.
Seeing Le Yan's miserable state, Lin Minsheng, who was usually easygoing and honest, became ruthless for the first time. After leaving the hospital, he went straight home, grabbed a kitchen knife, rushed to the thug's house, and chopped the thug down.
The thug was severely injured by Lin Minsheng, and one of his arms lost its basic function.
The incident caused a huge uproar at the time. Although everyone knew that Lin Minsheng was not at fault, they couldn't withstand the relentless harassment and unreasonable demands from the thug's family.
Although Le Yan was injured by thugs, the evidence collected at the scene was incomplete, and the thugs' family had already contacted Lin Xiuying.
For money, Lin Xiuying chose to settle the matter privately with the thugs.
Afterwards, the thug's family hired a professional defense lawyer and turned the tables on Lin Minsheng, accusing him of attempted murder.
Lin Minsheng was left speechless and the thugs offered to settle the matter privately, on the condition that Lin Minsheng pay them a sum of money as compensation.
Lin Xiuying had taken the money and was unwilling to give it back, so Lin Minsheng had no choice but to sell the fishing boat he had bought with all his savings.
After that, Le Yan stayed in the hospital for a long time, undergoing rehabilitation and receiving psychological counseling.
After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Minsheng and Lin Xiuying did not mention the incident again. The villagers were very dissatisfied with the hooligan family because of their inhumane and selfish behavior. The villagers denounced the hooligan family every day. In the end, the hooligan family could not withstand the villagers' curses and ostracism, and moved away while Leyan was hospitalized.
From then on, that incident was gradually forgotten.
If Xu Chengyang hadn't brought it up tonight, Le Yan probably would never have thought of it again in her life.
How could Xu Chengyang have known?
That happened in my hometown, and after so many years, the villagers have gradually forgotten about it.
For Xu Chengyang to know, and remember so clearly, there is only one possibility: what Lin Xiuying said.
Thinking of this, Fu Nian'an narrowed her eyes and glanced at the girl beside her.
Le Yan leaned back on the sofa, still holding a cup in her arms, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Tears still lingered in her eyes; she was probably haunted by those unpleasant memories in her sleep, her brows constantly furrowed.
Fu Nian'an took the cup from her hand and placed it on the table, then picked her up and turned to walk into the bedroom.
When he put her on the bed, Fu Nian'an leaned down and kissed her between the eyebrows.
"Go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, those people who frighten and sadden you will be gone."
At this moment, Fu Nian'an felt incredibly sorry for Le Yan.
Because he felt so much heartache for her, he was also absolutely convinced that he was Le Yan's savior.
But fate soon made him realize that man proposes, God disposes.
Even Fu Nian'an cannot be completely foolproof in this life.
Tomorrow and accidents, no one knows which will come first.
