Chapter 11
An Nuo's status in the family is so low because of the "complexity" and "unclear" nature of his life experience.
Judging from the surface alone, he is the child born to An's father's third wife and the youngest child in the family, so he should be very loved.
But the unclear part is who his real biological father is.
Ever since An Nuo was old enough to understand, he has been surrounded by endless rumors. He seems to be the product of his mother's infidelity and the retribution for his father's long-term infidelity.
Although she has perfectly inherited the genes from her mother, looks sweet and delicate, and has been unforgettable since childhood, it is difficult to see any genes from her father on her face.
In fact, An Nuo has never seen his mother.
I just heard that my mother didn't like An's father, and it was An's father who forced her to marry him through threats and inducements.
So in order to take revenge on An's father, his mother gave birth to a child with another man, and eloped with her lover as soon as An Nuo was born.
He was born in ignorance, grew up walking on thin ice, and was forced to bear everything that fate put on him, unable to resist.
When I was young, I felt wronged and didn’t understand where I had gone wrong.
Only when he grew up did he realize that in An's father's eyes, his mere existence was a huge mistake.
During adolescence, when he was at his most vulnerable yet strongest, this incident became An Nuo's nightmare countless times.
In order to verify the truth, he even secretly did a paternity test.
The results showed that he was An's father's biological child.
How incredible?
How absurd?
An Nuo was not at all happy about this result. Instead, he fell into an even more desolate and cold state on the spot.
If even he could do the identification, how could An's father not have done it?
If he really wasn't Mr. An's child, he would have been kicked out of the house long ago. How could Mr. An be so kind as to keep him?
An Nuo had to sadly admit that blood ties had nothing to do with emotions. His father truly could not love him and even hated him.
Even though An's father had never mentioned his mother's past infidelity in front of him, his cold eyes, indifferent expression, and disgusted words and actions always made An's father very unkind to him.
He transferred all his hatred and malice towards his mother onto himself.
From his ignorant childhood to his adulthood when he gradually cleared the fog, there was a long period of time in between when Annuo always thought it was his own fault.
If he had not been born.
If only he looked more like An's father.
Maybe An's father wouldn't have to endure the criticism and ridicule of others, and maybe people would be more friendly to him.
After being suppressed for so many years, even though he now has Lu Yunyan as his support and has enough ability and reasons to fight back, An Nuo still falls into the fear of the past, finding it difficult to change the status quo and not daring to fight back against his father.
Until the first such message was sent.
After taking a step forward that he had never dared to take before, An Nuo was surprised to find that counterattack was not as difficult as he had imagined, and in fact he could do it.
After saying this, an indescribable sense of joy welled up in my heart.
...It just feels really good.
【What are you talking about? 】
[Who raised you to this age? Do I need your food or your money?]
"How dare you say such things? Check your conscience. Is this the attitude a child should have towards his father?!"
Seeing these words, my heart still tightened.
An Nuo has been educated in this way by his father. Anyone who dares to show any sign of resistance will be considered as having no conscience.
In fact, he had figured it out long ago. If it weren't for Father An, he wouldn't have to endure the hardships and dangers of fate.
It’s like someone pushed him into the water and then reached out to pull him out. Should he still thank the other person for saving his life?
If the other person hadn't been there, he wouldn't have fallen into the water in the first place.
It's just that he didn't dare to say it before.
Today I finally mustered the courage to resist. Last night I had a nightmare about the past, and now the memory is clear.
An Nuo thought for a moment and decided to use his courage to ask clearly.
When I was sixteen, you asked me to help your business partner to the hotel room. What did you mean by that?
An's father responded quickly.
[When did this happen? It was so long ago, I forgot about it!]
"You're still holding a grudge over something so insignificant? I've really wasted my time raising you!"
The text had no sound, it was just data displayed on the electronic screen, but it pierced An Nuo's heart like a sharp blade.
In fact, I guessed that An's father would react like this. Even if a tragedy really happened that night, I guess he would put all the blame on him afterwards.
An Nuo's eyes flushed red.
I had to blink quickly a dozen times before I could press the reply button.
【Seeing you say that, I felt relieved】
Because it’s easier to hate you.
After sending this message, An Nuo directly blocked all related accounts of An's father.
After a while, my fingertips felt slightly cold and my vision became blurred.
An Nuo tried hard to hold back her tears, waiting for her vision to slowly become clear again.
The mille-feuille cake next to me is still in good condition, and the cream squeezed on the latte still maintains its original shape.
The restaurant was quiet and all was peaceful.
The sun is shining outside the window. Today is still a sunny day and the world has not exploded.
Blacklisting Anfu will not lead to any life-threatening disaster.
It just made him go through a sensational struggle in his heart.
fine.
It turns out it’s that simple.
Although he originally planned to eat only one piece of mille-feuille cake, An Nuo ended up stuffing five or six pieces into his mouth until he was full.
Only when my stomach is full does my heart seem to feel less uncomfortable.
…
When An Nuo finished breakfast and returned to the small living room where Lu Yunyan was, the two little kittens had already returned to their nest to sleep.
An Nuo ignored Lu Yunyan and walked past him. He walked to the kitten's nest with a clear purpose and squatted down.
He squatted there quietly for about ten minutes, poking the kitten with his fingers from time to time, without feeling tired at all.
Kittens heal people's hearts.
Looking at the two chubby little balls, the bad mood caused by An's father gradually recovered.
Lu Yunyan, who was not far away, finally finished his work, closed his notebook, walked to An Nuo, and squatted with him to watch the cat.
"Is it really that beautiful? You've been squatting here for a long time, aren't you tired?"
"I'm not tired."
An Nuo rested his elbows on his knees, supported his face with his palms, and spoke in the clipped voice that was unique to speaking to a kitten.
"The kitten is so cute. I can look at it all day long."
Lu Yunyan chuckled: "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disturb your fun."
"……Um?"
"I have to go to my parents' house at noon today."
An Nuo's eyes widened instantly.
It was also the first time I met my in-laws in my life.
But Lu Yunyan only told me such an important thing now?
Couldn't he have told me in advance last night so that I could at least prepare myself mentally?
Although recalling what happened last night, An Nuo reluctantly admitted that it was excusable, but what about this morning?
Lu Yunyan held him on his legs and teased him for so long, couldn't he have told him in advance?
An Nuo stood up suddenly, but his legs became numb from squatting for too long, and his body staggered and he almost fell.
Lu Yunyan watched An Nuo turn into a little tumbler on the spot and quickly reached out to help him up: "Are you so excited?"
“…”
Who is excited!
He was shocked! He was surprised! He couldn't believe it!
Do you know how unfriendly this kind of short notice is to introverts who like to stick to a plan?
An Nuo held Lu Yunyan's hand: "...Why didn't you tell me last night?"
"I forgot."
"What about when I got up! Why didn't you tell me?!"
"I haven't remembered yet."
“…”
Lu Yunyan said: "My dad just asked us when we were going there, and then I remembered."
“…”
"Don't be nervous. There's no one else here but my parents, and it's just a meal. Don't worry, they won't eat you as a side dish."
“…It’s not funny at all!”
How could An Nuo not be nervous when he was going to meet Lu Yunyan's parents?
According to the agreement between him and Lu Yunyan, the reason for the marriage was a secret known only to the two of them, except for Lu Yunyan's lawyer.
In front of others, they need to always act like a loving couple who are together because of true love.
At that time, An Nuo also asked: "Can't you even tell your parents?"
Lu Yunyan said seriously, "If they knew you could cure my disease and that we had arranged a marriage, they would probably do everything they could to remove your glands."
An Nuo was immediately frightened and asked in confusion, "...Does it have to be so brutal?"
"Yes." Lu Yunyan replied, "I will dig out your glands and send them to the laboratory. Then I can continuously extract your pheromones. Then I will turn you into a corpse that cannot speak. That will be the safest and most appropriate thing for me."
Annuo had never seen such a scene before.
At that time, I didn’t know what Lu Yunyan’s parents looked like, but in my mind, a terrifying, cold-blooded and ruthless image had already been formed.
What’s the point of saying you’re not nervous now?
What's more, the person who comforted him and made him less nervous was Lu Yunyan.
Can we believe that he is the one who described the horrific image? Who dares to believe it?
Putting all the unpleasantness with An's father behind him, An Nuo quickly ran back to his room and started to get dressed for going out.
I hope to leave a good impression on Lu Yunyan’s parents.
In this way, even if the agreement is unfortunately exposed one day, he can be spared because of these slight goodwills.
…
The place where Lu's parents live is the real golden area of the capital star.
Many politicians and celebrities gather here, so the security factor is the highest on the entire planet. Even private cars are prohibited from passing through, and only aircraft officially registered by the federal government are allowed to land.
The aircraft is very fast and can reach 20 kilometers in two minutes. However, landing and registration take more time.
Ever since An Nuo knew he was coming here, he became tense. After getting on the aircraft, his face was unusually solemn and his eyes were serious, which made Lu Yunyan quite helpless. He began to reflect that his joke had gone too far.
"Don't worry, even if the agreement is exposed, they won't be able to dig out your glands. Those words were just exaggerations."
"What era is this? Who could really do something like this?"
But Lu Yunyan's explanation came too late, and An Nuo no longer wanted to believe it.
Lu Yunyan had no choice but to say, "Besides, I'm still here. If anything really happens, I will protect you."
An Nuo finally showed some reaction.
He simply gave Lu Yunyan a very skeptical look and asked, "Really...between your parents and me, would you choose me?"
His original intention was to distrust Lu Yunyan's guarantee, to the point where he subconsciously refuted it.
However, Lu Yunyan found an opportunity to interject: "Are we going to start answering these life-threatening questions now?"
"This is too hard, baby."
“…”
