Chapter 67: It was his lust for her body, and also his obsession.
The Lu family's old residence is located on the North Third Ring Road in City A, where land is extremely valuable.
This piece of land was designated as the address of the Lu family's old residence.
There is a large lake shaped like a full moon on the map, and this is the main body of the Lu family's old residence.
The manor that encompasses the entire Moon Lake is the Lu family's old residence, Mingyue Manor.
The entire Bright Moon Manor is based on a pale moon yellow color. When the lights are on at night, the entire manor looks like a bright moon when viewed from above, exuding a perfect beauty.
The villa is situated right by the lake, in a tranquil and beautiful setting.
Shi Nian looked up at the manor, her eyes calm.
Normally she would drive straight in, but this time she didn't want to, so she just stopped outside the manor and came as a visitor.
The security guard spotted her and immediately came out to greet her.
"Young Madam, you've arrived! The old master and madam have been waiting for you to come back." The security guard said, pressing a button on his hand to immediately open the heavy gate of the manor.
Shi Nian nodded slightly and said, "I'll take the shuttle bus in today."
"Huh? Oh, okay!" The security guard was surprised for a moment, but he didn't ask any questions and made the arrangements.
A short while later, someone arrived in a shuttle bus to pick her up.
“Young Madam.” It was Butler Wu, the head manager of the manor. He got out of the car and opened the shuttle bus door for Shi Nian. “Welcome home.”
Shi Nian nodded and got into the car.
As the car started, Shi Nian officially entered Mingyue Manor.
"Young Madam, the old lady has been talking about you a lot lately."
As Butler Wu drove, he said, "The old lady has been saying that the house feels empty since you haven't been back lately, and she's not used to it."
"And the old man, he's been blowing his beard and glaring lately, constantly saying he's going to break the young master's legs."
"The old man also said that Han Wei is someone who can't be brought to the table, and she can't possibly surpass you, young mistress. He's back this time to stand up for you."
Butler Wu was still rambling on and on.
Shi Nian listened to it only half-heartedly.
She suspected that the old man and woman had instructed Butler Wu to say this.
The wind was a bit strong at night, so Shi Nian tightened her coat.
The shuttle bus travels along the edge of Moon Lake, offering views of the entire lake. A gentle breeze blows across the lake, and the water ripples with fragmented moonlight, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
In the middle of the lake, there is a bridge that leads directly to the villa. At this moment, a Bentley is driving from there to the villa.
It was Lu Yanzhi's car.
He came too.
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair. Shi Nian thought for a moment, then took out a hair tie and put her previously cut hair up in a bun.
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Has anything happened at the old house recently?"
The housekeeper thought for a moment, then said, "The old man hasn't been feeling well lately, and the old lady isn't in very good spirits either."
"The young master came several times, but almost every time it ended badly."
"The master and madam are still abroad."
"A few other people came to see the two elderly people, but nothing else happened."
Shi Nian nodded.
This way, things are still relatively peaceful.
only……
Shi Nian looked at the location ahead, where a Bentley was parked, and a man was standing next to the car.
Lu Yanzhi.
Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful.
The shuttle bus quickly stopped at the designated location, and Shi Nian got off the bus carrying her bag.
As soon as he stood firm, a figure landed beside him.
Without looking up, Shi Nian knew it was Lu Yanzhi.
"Young Master," Butler Wu called out.
Lu Yanzhi waved his hand, signaling Butler Wu to leave first.
Shi Nian didn't speak, nor did Lu Yanzhi; the two of them stood there quietly.
Under the moonlight, the two people who were once the closest now seemed to be separated by an ocean.
Lu Yanzhi looked at Shi Nian in front of him.
Her hair was styled in a bun, no longer hanging obediently at her sides as before. Her perfume had changed; it wasn't the scent he was familiar with. And she wasn't wearing her usual shoes; instead, she was wearing stiletto heels.
Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly. It was already late April, but she was still wearing a thin coat.
It's been a long time since I've seen her; she's changed a lot.
"Are you cold?" After a long while, Lu Yanzhi suddenly spoke, reaching out to grasp her arm.
But she took a step back, and he merely squeezed her arm lightly before sliding away.
This made him frown even more.
Why are my clothes so empty?
Has she lost weight?
Upon closer inspection, it's clear that her face, already small, looks even more pitiful now that she's lost weight.
Shi Nian pursed her lips, not answering Lu Yanzhi's question, but instead taking the initiative: "What is it?"
Lu Yanzhi then remembered why he was waiting here.
Thinking it over, he took a step forward.
"What's the story with that child?" Lu Yanzhi asked. "The information I got from the paparazzi is that she calls you 'Mom.' When did you have this child?"
As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously swept over her lower abdomen.
"That's none of your business," Shi Nian replied without giving a direct answer.
But Lu Yanzhi was furious.
"Shi Nian." He called her name, his voice icy. "We haven't even gotten our divorce certificate yet, and you're telling me now that you have a child and it has nothing to do with me?"
Shi Nian turned her head to the other side, ignoring his gaze.
"Where did the child come from?" Lu Yanzhi pressed further. "We've been intimate so many times over the years, but we've never had a child. Now..."
"That's enough," Shi Nian interrupted him.
Lu Yanzhi wanted to say something, but he saw the moisture in her eyes.
She said, "Don't you know why we didn't have children for so long?"
Lu Yan stopped abruptly.
Her lips were pressed tightly together.
He remembered that many years ago, they had a child.
They were both young then, and he was obsessed with her body, indulging her in nightly pleasures.
He was unaware of the signs of pregnancy, and she, due to her poor health and irregular periods, never considered the possibility.
During negotiations in Country F, the other party distracted her and initiated a gamble—a gamble of courage and life. Without hesitation, she jumped into the icy water, becoming completely soaked, and that's how she lost her child.
When he pulled her out of the icy water, there was a large pool of blood beneath her. It was very timely, but the baby was still lost.
She was in his arms then, but her eyes were fixed on him.
“You promised me,” she said.
The other party nodded.
He still remembers that it was a late autumn night when the child was gone. She felt guilty and cried bitterly in his arms, which broke his heart as well.
After that incident, her body was severely damaged. In the following years, they were deeply in love and indulged in pleasure every night, but she still had difficulty conceiving.
Over the years, he had always hoped to have a child with her. He was very enthusiastic in their sex life because he craved her body, wanted to make up for the regret of the past, and it was also his obsession.
However, Lu Yanzhi would never know.
Actually, they had a child after they got married.
But later, it disappeared.
