Chapter 72 He kissed her passionately, but she refused and cried, breaking his heart.
A burning pain shot through his face, and anger and shame surged within Lu Yanzhi.
In his 28 years of life, no one had ever dared to humiliate him like this!
Anger surged within him, and Lu Yanzhi turned around in fury.
Just as I was about to say something, I saw Shi Nian's tearful eyes.
She stood before him, looking thin and frail in the moonlight. Her face was pale, but her eyes were red from tears.
Her tears...
It seemed to flow endlessly, dripping silently without uttering a word, yet it broke his heart.
He recalled the day he lost his child in Country F.
She cried a lot that day too.
She used to sob softly in his arms, but now she makes no sound of crying, yet it breaks his heart just as much.
His heart ached dully; he never wanted to see her cry like that again.
Lu Yanzhi reached out to wipe away Shi Nian's tears, but she pushed his hand away.
"Lu Yanzhi." Shi Nian's hand trembled slightly from the force.
She looked at him.
"I thought it wouldn't come to that!"
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Shi Nian clenched her hands tightly, determined not to appear weak in this moment.
"You said Han Wei wouldn't live more than six months, and you want to take care of her, fine."
“You said you wanted to divorce me to fulfill her dying wish, so I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you to complete the formalities.”
"I don't care about what's going on between you and her."
"But how could you insult me like this, insult my child!"
Shi Nian spoke softly, each word clear under the quiet moonlight.
“Lu Yanzhi, you and Han Wei are not the only flesh-and-blood people in this world, and your pain is not the only pain.”
“I admit that I loved the wrong person. In a relationship, I can admit defeat and leave, but how could you... bully me and my child like this?”
Shi Nian's lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but choke up when she said the last sentence.
Fingertips pierced the palm.
She pursed her lips, making herself appear more assertive; it was a matter of her pride.
"Shi Nian".
Lu Yanzhi frowned deeply; each of her words felt like a heavy blow to his heart, causing him excruciating pain.
"Han Wei's matter..."
He wanted to say something, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to speak.
The moonlight, like water, illuminated the land, making it appear pure white and cold.
"Six months." After a long silence, he finally said, "She only has six months left."
Shi Nian suddenly laughed sarcastically.
She looked up, shifting her gaze from his face to the dark sky.
Why did it turn out like this?
Why make her so sad?
Shi Nian reached out and wiped away the tears on her face.
Not wanting to say anything more, she turned to leave.
But he held her hand again.
"Shi Nian," he called her name stubbornly.
She didn't even want to say the word "let go" to him; she just tried her best to break free from him.
But he gripped her hand even tighter.
Under the moonlight, his eyes were red, and he stubbornly held her hand, refusing to let go.
Shi Nian struggled fiercely; she didn't want to stay there any longer.
But as the wind blew across the lake, Shi Nian felt dizzy again.
That glass of wine...
She often accompanied Lu Yanzhi to various occasions, and could tell the approximate alcohol content just by taking a sip or two.
She knew her alcohol tolerance, and logically speaking, this glass wasn't much for her.
Because she often went abroad for negotiations, she was wary of things like adding ingredients to drinks. This glass of wine shouldn't contain any of those things, and Lu Xinyi wouldn't need to do that.
so……
In a dizzy state, she saw her thin wrist being held by Lu Yanzhi.
Her health has been poor ever since she fell down the stairs and miscarried.
In addition, he was exposed to the wind after drinking.
Another wave of intoxication hit her, and she could barely stand.
We can't stay here any longer.
She reached out and pushed Lu Yanzhi, trying to make him let go.
But she didn't realize that she was already swaying unsteadily.
"Shi Nian?" Lu Yanzhi frowned deeply.
She did not respond to him.
He reached out and lifted her up in his arms.
Shi Nian felt her feet dangling in the air. She reached out to push him, but he was too weak to move.
"You've been drinking." Lu Yanzhi's voice was muffled, his chest heaving.
"Put me down," Shi Nian said.
But Lu Yanzhi ignored her, took the high heels from her hand, and carried her into the villa.
The forest path, which was only a dozen meters long, felt shaky to Shi Nian. When she looked up, she saw the moonlight filtering through the dense forest.
The moonlight shone on him, making it difficult for her to distinguish between the present and the past.
She was genuinely quite drunk.
He walked all the way to the villa, pressed his fingerprint to open the door, and put her down in the entryway.
Seeing her stand against the wall, he reached out and closed the door.
She was still crying, and he looked at her, feeling heartbroken.
When he picked her up just now, he felt that she was much lighter than before.
Not just a little, but a lot.
She was already thin, and now she's even smaller.
"You're a little drunk. Are you planning to go back like this?" Lu Yanzhi asked.
There will be dangers on the road.
"It's none of your business." Her voice was nasal.
Lu Yanzhi was helpless.
"It's hard to get a taxi around Mingyue Manor. How are you going to get back? On foot?" He patiently explained to her.
Although it's located in the prime area of the North Third Ring Road, there are measures in place for the entire area around Mingyue Manor.
After all, the Lu family didn't want anyone spying on them all day long, nor did they want to be a tourist attraction being watched by crowds.
Security issues also need to be considered.
They are usually picked up and dropped off by the estate's butler, so there's no need to worry about that.
But Shi Nian clearly wants to go back on her own now.
Seeing Shi Nian stubbornly remaining silent with her lips pursed, he spoke again:
“I saw your car on the way here. Do you still want to drive drunk? Shi Nian, you can’t even walk straight now.”
Shi Nian didn't respond; tears just kept flowing down her face.
"Don't cry."
He said that under the dim light in the entryway, she cried until his heart broke.
But she just turned her head away.
He sighed deeply, bent down, cupped her face in his hands, and reached out to wipe away her tears.
He could see the tears on her eyelashes clearly from such close proximity.
Then, he kissed her.
He lingered on her lips, tasting her tears.
Her fists struck him softly, having no effect on his resistance.
Lu Yanzhi used his strength to lift Shi Nian up and carried her to the bedroom on the first floor.
She smelled of white wine, and before she could speak, he kissed her again.
He didn't want to listen to her.
The room temperature rapidly rose as he held her down, his other hand roaming over her body.
He loved her body; day and night, he always enjoyed coaxing her in bed, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.
He loved watching her tremble gently in his arms, loved the way her eyes were filled with him.
However, she really did lose a lot of weight.
Her already slender waist is now even more delicate, and...
"A Nian..."
He called her name and kissed her.
"Nian Nian".
He gave her another kiss.
Their breaths mingled.
