Chapter 756 Can I Protect Her for a Lifetime?
Le Yan quickly did some mental calculations.
The final conclusion is that, based on the absolute height difference and the innate absolute strength difference between men and women, she has zero chance of winning in a head-on confrontation!
Although she had a tough life, she still cherished it!
She hadn't even celebrated her 23rd birthday yet, and Lin Xiangyu was still waiting for her to come home... She couldn't let anything happen to her!
After some deliberation, she took a deep breath and made up her mind.
He slowly turned around, raised his hand, and pressed the doorbell with a forced smile.
The doorbell rang.
One sound, two sounds, three sounds...
Le Yan's heart sank to the bottom.
No way! Could it be that this family isn't home?
Seriously? Does her luck have to keep going this bad?
Le Yan was almost in tears.
She turned to look at Fu Nian'an, her voice trembling slightly: "Um, my boyfriend doesn't seem to be home. It's okay, I'll wait for him here."
Fu Nian'an kindly reminded her, "You can call your boyfriend."
"My phone is dead!"
Fu Nian'an took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to her: "You can borrow my phone."
"!!!" Le Yan looked utterly dejected: "Thank you, but I don't remember my boyfriend's number."
Even at this point, they're still stubbornly holding on!
Fu Nian'an finally burst out laughing.
When Le Yan saw him smile, tears immediately fell. She raised her hands together and pleaded, "Kind sir, I beg you, please go home, I'm really home!"
Fu Nian'an looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes as she watched her tears fall.
How can someone be so pitiful yet so adorable?
She was very different from the woman I saw at Qixing Entertainment that day.
If he hadn't seen her firsthand, the way she impaled someone on top of her and poured paint on them, he would have truly felt sorry for her.
"Sir, we have no grudge against each other. I... I beg you, please let me go. I'm penniless, I'm very poor, and I... I have AIDS..."
“Miss, you’ve really misunderstood.” Fu Nian’an sighed softly. To prevent Le Yan from saying anything more absurd in order to ‘protect herself,’ he said in a low voice, “I really have to go home.”
"Then go home!" Le Yan's mind was already a mess, with only a strong will to survive remaining: "Please, please let me go, I'm all alone..."
Fu Nian'an walked towards her amidst her cries.
As soon as Le Yan saw him approaching, she was so frightened that she hid to the side!
Then she saw Fu Nian'an raise his beautiful, well-defined hand, and place his fingertip on the fingerprint lock—
With a beep, accompanied by an electronic voice saying "Welcome home," the door opened.
Le Yan: "..."
The world is quiet.
Fu Nian'an opened the door and turned to look at her: "Miss, I'm home."
Le Yan: "..."
You're home, and I'm dead!
The society is dead!
Seeing her almost broken expression, Fu Nian'an kindly reminded her again, "You can go home now."
After saying that, Fu Nian'an stepped into the house.
The front door was closed.
Leaving behind a quiet corridor and a stunned Le Yan.
...
It took Le Yan a while to come to her senses and blink.
So... she was saved by her neighbor.
Then, when her neighbor went home normally, she misunderstood him as a pervert...
She even put on a show, thinking she was being clever...
Le Yan recalled her actions from the basement to just now... her face turned completely red again!
She let out a groan, covered her face, and rushed to the elevator, quickly pressing the exit button.
The elevator doors opened, and Le Yan stepped inside, quickly pressing '27'.
The two doors slowly closed.
Inside the front door, the man watched Le Yan's every reaction through the electronic peephole on the keypad lock.
Only after the elevator doors closed did the man faintly smile, sweep his finger across the electronic peephole, and turn it off.
He turned around, changed his shoes, and went straight into the master bedroom.
My phone vibrated; it was Chu Xing calling.
The bedroom light was turned on, Fu Nian'an loosened his tie, and answered the phone.
"Young Master Fu, President Zhou just called me."
"How so?"
"Mr. Zhou was subtly inquiring about your relationship with Miss Le Yan?"
Fu Nian'an smiled faintly, "Is it him who wants to ask, or Xing Zheng?"
"I'm sure President Zhou himself is curious too, but President Zhou asked on behalf of Xing Zheng." Chu Xing said, "President Zhou said that Xing Zheng's attitude towards Le Yan is quite tough. If you, Young Master Fu, specifically request protection, then Xing Zheng's intention is to let you have her, as if he's doing you a favor."
Should I do him this favor?
Fu Nian'an scoffed. In all his years in business, even in the early stages of his ventures, he had never encountered someone with such an arrogant tone.
Xing Zheng wanted to use Le Yan to create a mutually beneficial alliance with him.
He's very shrewd with his calculations.
“Ignore Xing Zheng.” Fu Nian’an said in a low, indifferent voice, “As for President Zhou, tell him that it’s true that I have a good relationship with Wen Yusen, but it’s also true that I’m not interested in investing in the entertainment industry or movies. We have different paths, so we can’t work together.”
Chu Xing understood. "Okay, I'll pass that on to President Zhou. As for Miss Le Yan, will you protect her?"
"Can I protect her for a while, or for a lifetime?"
Chu Xing: "..."
“When I saved her, it was like a stray cat being hit by a car, and I happened to be passing by and helped take it to the vet. When I asked you to call Mr. Zhou, it was because I paid the medical bill for taking the cat to the vet. I only guarantee that it will get treatment and won't die. The rest is not my concern.”
Fu Nian'an walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the bedroom, looking down at the city's night view, and said in a cold voice: "Respect the fate of others."
"Young Master Fu, I understand what you've said."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Nian'an stared out the window, the image of Le Yan's expressive face flashing vaguely in her mind.
He admitted that Le Yan was very beautiful, as beautiful as a delicate porcelain doll, and that every smile and frown of hers was indeed enough to make people's hearts flutter.
But he was never short of beautiful women around him.
Physical appearance is definitely not Fu Nian'an's standard for choosing a partner.
He also admitted that he did feel a little pity for Le Yan tonight, but that pity was not enough for him to break his principles.
At that time, Fu Nian'an was so confident, but little did he know that it was this confidence that almost caused him to lose the love of his life!
If he had known he would fall so deeply in love with Le Yan later, he certainly wouldn't have allowed himself to be so cold-hearted now.
He would stand behind Le Yan without hesitation the moment he met her, providing her with a vast sky to shelter her, allowing her to be a happy bird in that sky, flying freely...
Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back, and there is no such thing as knowing beforehand.
Later, Fu Nian'an also suffered a profound lesson because of his cold-heartedness and rationality today.
That nightmarish experience of almost losing his beloved left an indelible scar on his life.
Countless midnights when he would suddenly wake up, even with a soft embrace, the lingering pain never left him.
It was only then that Fu Nian'an finally understood.
Love is a colorless and odorless poison; only when it seeps into your bones do you realize how deeply it has penetrated you. Only by staying together forever can you find the cure.
