Chapter 275 Lu Yiran seems serious this time
Mu Nanyan was stunned.
She looked at Lu Yiran's focused eyes, which were filled with a seriousness she had never seen before. The alcohol made the corners of his eyes slightly red, but it did not reduce the burning heat in his eyes at all.
Sleepiness made her thoughts slow down, and her brain seemed to have been paused. She could only stare at him blankly.
The air froze instantly.
Lu Yiran looked at her blank expression and his Adam's apple rolled:
"What about you? How do you feel about me?"
“No feeling…”
Nan Yan blurted out subconsciously, and only realized what she had said after she had said it.
The expression on Lu Yiran's face froze. The light in his eyes dimmed a little bit like a candle that was suddenly extinguished. He tightened his fingers in disbelief.
"You lied to me, didn't you? If you really didn't care, why did you pick me up tonight? You still care about me, don't you?"
"If this matter has misunderstood you, then I apologize."
Mu Nanyan looked at Lu Yiran and said expressionlessly, her voice so calm it was almost cruel.
Mu Nanyan's mind flashed through many recent scenes of her interactions with Lu Yiran. The only evidence she could think of that Lu Yiran liked her was the morning he helped her solve the company's problems, but Lu Yiran's answer to her was:
"Because you are Chenchen's mother."
She was directly thrown back to reality from her dream. Which of Lu Yiran's words were true and which were false? Mu Nanyan really couldn't tell at this moment...
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Mu Nanyan's mind.
Could it be that the contract giving up custody was an elaborate scam from the beginning?
Did he calculate her weakness and lower her defenses in this way?
Mu Nanyan's fingertips felt cold unconsciously. Did he reappear in her life just for Chenchen?
Thinking of this, her eyes turned completely cold.
Regardless of whether Lu Yiran's confession at this moment was sincere or false, she would never make the same mistake again.
She and Chenchen can live well without relying on anyone.
Lu Yiran kept his head down, with his hair hanging down in front of his forehead, casting a shadow on his face, making it impossible to see his expression.
Mu Nanyan could only see his tense jawline and slightly trembling fingertips.
"I'll just assume you were drunk today. I won't take what you just said to heart, and don't mention it again."
Mu Nanyan's voice was very soft, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.
After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave. When she stood up, the sofa made a slight sound.
To her surprise, Lu Yiran did not stop her this time. It was not until her hand touched the door handle that the cold touch of the metal made her sober up a little.
Just as a ray of night wind came in through the crack in the door, a bony hand suddenly pressed on the door.
With a soft "bang", the door was closed again.
The next second, a scorching body temperature came up from behind, and Lu Yiran's arms, like iron, locked her tightly in his arms.
"you……"
Before Mu Nanyan could even scream, she felt the person behind her trembling.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while, it will be fine in a moment..."
Lu Yiran's voice was hoarse, and his warm breath sprayed on her sensitive neck. Mu Nanyan froze.
She could clearly feel the man's violent heartbeat, which came through the thin fabric and hit her back again and again.
Lu Yiran rested his forehead on her shoulder, this posture made him look more vulnerable than ever before.
"Nan Yan, can you... try to like me? Give me a chance... please..."
His lips were almost touching her earlobe, his voice was heavily nasal, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from his chest.
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mu Nanyan's heart hard.
Is this still the Lu Yiran she knew? The man who had such power in the capital was now asking her to love him...
She had never heard Lu Yiran speak in such a tone. The Lu family's leader who was always decisive in the business world seemed to have lost all his edge at this moment. He lowered himself into the dust, his eyes full of caution, and he just hoped that she could give him a chance.
The wetness on her neck made Mu Nanyan tremble all over. He... was crying?
This realization made her head buzz. Could it be that what Lu Yiran said before was true?
If it was just for the custody of Chenchen, why would he go to such lengths?
He is the prince of the Beijing circle. Dingsheng Group has the best legal team in the country. Wouldn't it be easy for him to win a custody lawsuit?
Why had he gone to all the trouble to come to Haicheng? Why had he forced himself to live in this small apartment? Why had he... done so much for her in such a roundabout way?
The only explanation that makes sense is that Lu Yiran likes her, really likes her, so he is willing to waste time on her.
That's why he gets so angry when he sees other men around her that he wants to fight. Even though he can't eat spicy food, he still has to pretend to be calm and accompany her and Chenchen to eat hot pot...
The body temperature of the person behind her came through the clothes, making her heart tremble.
This time, she seemed to have no reason to deny it. Lu Yiran seemed to be serious this time...
Mu Nanyan's fingertips trembled slightly, but she never raised her hand to respond to the hug.
The night light shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled light and shadows on her profile.
She looked at the faint light, as if she saw herself full of longing five years ago.
Five years ago, the night she and Lu Yiran were together, only Mu Nanyan herself knew clearly that she had the opportunity to refuse, and she could have gone to the hospital... but she chose to be with Lu Yiran... not only because of the effect of the medicine, but more because that person was Lu Yiran...
Back then, Mu Nanyan naively thought that Su Muyang would be her salvation, but fate gave her a loud slap in the face.
By accident, she married Lu Yiran.
This marriage began with a misunderstanding. There was no emotional foundation, only endless suspicion and hurt.
At first, Lu Yiran tortured her in every way, beating and scolding her at every turn, imprisoning her, speaking ill of her, and being suspicious of her.
But at her most desperate moment, when danger was approaching, it was the person who hurt her the most who came like a god and pulled her out of the abyss.
It was he who rescued her from the quagmire of her original family, and it was he who shielded her from all the storms in dangerous moments.
At that time, Mu Nanyan's whole heart was occupied by this nominal husband, and her mind and eyes were filled with his figure.
Five years ago, Mu Nanyan felt that marriage, love and family were her salvation, so after that night she even thought about living a good life with Lu Yiran, but reality gave her a loud slap in the face again.
Five years later, she finally understood that the only person she could trust in this world was herself, and the only person she could rely on was herself.
