They're being forced to get married again.
Asahi Rouyuan wanted to leave Yue Lanxiu's room before dawn. She didn't want anyone to know that they were together last night, including Yue Lanxiu.
However, she underestimated Yue Lanxiu's endurance and overestimated her own endurance. Even though the sunlight illuminated the entire room, she still didn't seem to want to wake up and was leaning comfortably into Yue Lanxiu's arms.
Yue Lanxiu's long arms were always around her waist, as if afraid that she would leave, and he held her tightly even when she fell asleep.
Yue Lanhuan waited for Yue Lanxiu until he fell asleep last night. Now she planned to go to his room to see if he had returned. She opened the door and saw a bulge in the quilt, clearly someone was there. She sighed and tried to close the door and leave, but then she felt something was wrong. She turned around and took another look, almost screaming. She quickly covered her mouth. There was another person in the quilt! There were clearly two people sleeping in the quilt! Did this brat bring a woman back to sleep with him?!
Yue Lanhuan is still very old-fashioned in this regard and will never allow her son to treat matters between men and women so frivolously! Just wait and see how I deal with him!
She clenched her fists and prepared to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Uncle Zhong standing behind her. She was really scared and her scream instantly pierced Uncle Zhong's eardrums.
Uncle Zhong was also startled and started to cry out. He was just curious about what the lady was looking at, so he came closer. He didn't expect that the lady was so engrossed in the scene that she didn't even notice him.
These noises woke up Chao Rirou. The dazzling sunlight made her completely awake. She jumped out of bed. Her eyes, filled with annoyance, met the four curious eyes at the door. Suddenly, she screamed in unison, almost blowing the roof off.
"What's wrong? What happened?!" Yue Lanxiu was frightened awake and sat up, looking at the two people at the door in confusion and surprise.
Asahiro gently tugged at the thin blanket, wondering whether she should escape through the window after wrapping herself tightly, and never have any contact with them again until she died!
Suddenly, Yue Lanxiu felt the quilt on his body move by itself. He looked in confusion to see where it was moving, and then he realized with horror that there was a woman in his bed! This woman was covered with the same quilt as him! This woman had snatched the quilt away, leaving him naked and exposed to the air!
"Ah——" The scream came from Yue Lanxiu, louder than anyone else, and his face turned green!
"What, what's going on? Why, why is there another woman in my bed?!" Yue Lanxiu was so shocked that his voice trembled.
He looked at the two people at the door, hoping they could give him an answer!
Yue Lanhuan felt a crackling sound in her head, and she slammed the door in anger, saying, "This is what I want to ask you! Put on your clothes and come out to talk!"
In the hall, Yue Lanxiu knelt before Yue Lanhuan, looking remorseful and ready to be dealt with. Even if he was killed, he would never fight back! For what he had done, even being cut into pieces would not be excessive!
Zhao Rirou sat aside, not daring to breathe. Yue Lanhuan looked like a cat with its fur standing on end! No, a tiger with its fur standing on end! She had originally planned to kneel, but Yue Lanhuan had asked her to sit aside, giving the illusion that he was going to make the decision for her.
"Are you two in love?" Yue Lanhuan glared at Yue Lanxiu in disappointment for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath and asked.
"No!" Yue Lanxiu answered without thinking. At this moment, not only was his headache about to explode, but his heart was about to explode as well. "I drank too much last night, and I can't remember much..."
In fact, even he himself didn't understand why Yatang was in his bed. He obviously didn't flirt with any woman!
He only clearly remembered seeing Asahiro. Now it seemed like it was a dream, a very, very beautiful dream! A dream so beautiful that he didn't want to wake up!
But Meng eventually woke up, and when she did, Chao Rirou had transformed into Yatang! He speculated, could it be that he had drunk too much and mistook Yatang for Chao Rirou?! So, was he the one who forced himself on Yatang? He could really die!
Asahirou sighed inwardly in frustration. When she was drunk, she felt sober, and when she was sober, she felt confused!
"So it was drunkenness and promiscuity!" Yue Lanhuan's eyes fell coldly.
Yue Lanxiu closed his eyes in pain and fell silent, looking unable to refute.
Snap—a slap came hard! His ears were buzzing. But he felt it could have been harder.
This slap seemed to have hit Asahiro as well, and her heart ached a little.
This matter can't be blamed on him, she is also responsible to some extent! And she probably accounts for the majority of it.
After all, he was drunk, but she was sober! And she was the one who took the initiative! But how could she start without making people think she was scheming, deliberately seducing and climbing into Yue Lanxiu's bed? In reality, she had no intention of doing anything; she simply couldn't resist the temptation last night! And now she just wanted to pretend it never happened!
"Now that things have come to this, you must be responsible for your actions! You can't let such a good girl sleep with you for nothing. Marry her and take good care of her for the rest of her life!" Yue Lanhuan said shockingly.
"Mom!" Yue Lanxiu raised his voice in shock. He would rather be killed than marry Yatang!
In fact, he had absolutely no intention of remarrying unless she came back to life!
Bang! Chao Rirou was so startled that she stood up suddenly, even knocking over the chair. "Auntie, I'm fine! I don't mind..."
Yue Lanhuan glared at him with a serious look, "What nonsense are you talking about! I know you don't want to embarrass him, but men will think you are a casual woman and treat you casually! If you don't care about your own innocence, who will care about you! Innocence is the most precious thing for a woman. Since he has taken away your precious thing, shouldn't he be responsible?" The last sentence was yelled at Yue Lanxiu!
Zhao Rirou was moved. Yue Lanhuan was really considering her perspective, just like a mother, thinking about her wholeheartedly.
"It's my fault. I'm sorry for her, but I can't marry her!" Yue Lanxiu insisted.
Bang, another loud slap. Asahiro couldn't bear to watch or hear it.
"I don't care what excuse you have, if you make a mistake you must take responsibility! It's animalistic to not take responsibility after ruining something! I hope you can be a human being!" Yue Lanhuan was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"I don't love her. If I marry her, I'll only harm her!" Yue Lanxiu hoped his mother would understand what he meant. A marriage without love wouldn't be happy. He couldn't love her! He didn't even have a heart, so how could he love her?
"You've already harmed someone!"
"Yes, I have hurt her, but if I refuse her now, it will only cause her temporary pain. If I don't refuse her, she will suffer for the rest of her life!"
"You are not her, how do you know that rejecting her now won't cause you pain for the rest of your life!"
The mother and son insisted on their own opinions. If the confrontation continued, Chao Rirou felt that Yue Lanxiu would be beaten again.
Sure enough, just as Yue Lanxiu opened his mouth to refute something, Yue Lanhuan had already prepared a slap in the face.
Uncle Zhong, who was standing next to Yue Lanhuan, couldn't stand it anymore. Feeling sorry for Yue Lanxiu's swollen face, he stood between the two of them to stop them.
"Don't feel sorry for him. I'm teaching him how to be a human being now!" Yue Lanhuan wanted to push Uncle Zhong away, but she didn't have enough strength.
"Madam, can you give the young master some time? He is definitely not the irresponsible type. He is still immersed in the grief of losing his lover! If I agree to marry Yatang right away, I will feel that I am heartless and it will be unfair to Yatang!" Uncle Zhong believed that the young master must be drunk and his eyes were blurry, and he mistook Yatang for the young lady! Based on his understanding of the young master, this must be the case!
Yue Lanhuan paused, closed her eyes in pain, and spoke again, her tone much softer, "The dead are gone, we should cherish and treat those around us well! Think carefully, don't hurt those who are good to you again and again! The good times in the past should not be forgotten, but they should not become a hindrance to your progress!"
Yue Lanhuan said no more. Some things he had to figure out on his own.
He turned his gaze to Asahiro, walked over, held her hand and said, "I'm sorry to have wronged you!"
Asahirou smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was not aggrieved.
She really wasn't wronged. If he agreed to marry her, she would feel wronged! After all, he thought she was Yatang.
It is undeniable that she is a little selfish. She doesn't want Yue Lanxiu to marry another woman! She doesn't want Yue Lanxiu to forget her, Zhao Rirou!
If Yue Lanxiu fell in love with another woman, completely forgot about her, or no longer cared about her, then she might as well die!
There was teasing laughter in April Sakura's office.
"How do you know?" April Sakura asked Asahirou if she was with Yue Lanxiu last night. Asahirou asked back in surprise.
"You're faster than I thought. You simply can't wait! You said during the day that you didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore, but you ate me up at night!" April Sakura sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, one hand on her forehead. Her simple and casual posture showed her elegance and charm.
Unable to bear it, Asahirou closed her eyes and said, "So you guys are gossipers too!" You mean April Sakura and Thyme. Thyme must have told her that, because she asked Thyme for birth control pills.
That guy doesn't ask anything, but I didn't expect him to be so nosy behind my back! What a nosy woman!
"So you guys are back together?"
Asahirou poured herself a glass of wine and said irritably, "No! Do those men out there even know that their goddess is such a fussy bitch?"
Si Yueying didn't care. She was just curious about her relationship with Yue Lanxiu. "So you took advantage of him being drunk and did it to him?"
Asahirou looked up in disbelief, "Am I so indecent in your eyes?"
April Sakura looked like she was trying hard to think. "I'm sorry, I tried my best, but I just can't think of anything serious you've done! So what happened later? Did he hold you accountable?"
Zhao Rirou really wanted to throw the cup in her hand. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need him to be responsible! But Yue Lanhuan asked him to marry me, and he refused. He left no room for negotiation!"
"So you should tell him your true identity quickly so that he won't refuse!"
"I already told you I don't need him to be responsible! I definitely don't need him to marry me!"
April Ying sighed helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes! You still have to deal with Luosha's gang, and you are reluctant to involve him!" How could she not understand her friend's true thoughts!
Asahirou retorted, "No! I just don't like his way of doing things! He always likes to talk about evidence and law. Has your opponent told you? His goal is to send Luosha and others to jail! And my goal is to send those people to hell!" Her eyes at this moment were like a messenger from hell!
"By the way, did Ah Xiang tell you? The medicine you gave her yesterday is the same as the one you gave her before! Taking a small amount every day, while not fatal, will still cause mental disorder and loss of consciousness over time!" April Ying said seriously, "She said that if possible, we should find her a test subject!"
Zhao Rirou nodded, her eyes flickering in thought before narrowing as she thought of someone who might be a good fit. "How's the information I asked you to research about Luosha's apprentice going?"
April Sakura frowned slightly, "It's not easy, but it's not without gain either!"
"Is there one from my fifth senior brother?" Chao Rirou was referring to Yatang's fifth senior brother, the man with a ponytail, greasy hair, and an even grimmer figure!
"Yes!" April Sakura answered quickly, having been deeply impressed by him. "His name is Ivan. He's skilled with all kinds of guns, and he never misses a shot! But his greatest strength is with women. It's said he has many lovers. If he takes one every day, he might not get his turn in a month!"
"This isn't awesome, this is trash!" The first time Asahiro saw him, she thought he was a playboy, the kind that was very promiscuous.
April Sakura shook her index finger. "What's amazing isn't the sheer number of women, but the fact that they can live in peace and unity, wholeheartedly devoting everything to him! Even their lives!"
"You mean he has a group of female bodyguards!" Asahi snorted and laughed.
"Don't underestimate these women, they're all from influential backgrounds!"
"Is that guy so charming? To me, the only shining point about him is that he is more suitable to be a test subject!" Asahiro suddenly showed an evil smile that would make even the devil retreat in fear.
April Sakura immediately understood what she meant, and a harmless yet scalp-tingling smile appeared in her eyes.
At the desk, the man was concentrating on looking at the documents and didn't notice his girlfriend approaching quietly from behind. Or maybe he noticed her but didn't have time to pay attention to her.
The woman was unhappy. She was unhappy that she was not as attractive as the information he had.
The woman covered his eyes from behind and asked in a feigned anger, "Guess who I am?"
The man smiled, a gentle and sweet smile, "A beautiful woman who is gentle, virtuous, considerate, and reasonable, and never disturbs her boyfriend's work!"
"Wrong! I'm not gentle and virtuous, nor am I considerate or reasonable. I'm just a poor woman who has been neglected by her boyfriend for a long time and wants him to look at her more!" The woman complained, pouting her seductive red lips.
The man then realized that he had really neglected her recently. He pulled her hand down, placed it on his lips and kissed it affectionately. "I'm sorry, I really have something important to do. Of course, nothing is more important than you!"
Hearing the last sentence, the woman couldn't help but let out a satisfied smile. She put her arm around his neck and said, "I know you're busy, but you really haven't looked at me properly in a long time!" Her pitiful tone was full of coquettishness, and the man couldn't even look at the documents on the table. Facing the woman's pouting red lips, the man just wanted to kiss her.
A kiss obviously couldn't satisfy a woman, but she knew the man's personality was too extreme, so she didn't dare to be too proactive or bold. She could only pretend to accidentally touch his sensitive spots in an attempt to arouse his desire...
Just when she decided that she must take him down today, the doorbell rang in an annoying way.
The man immediately regained consciousness, gently pushed the woman away, and said apologetically, "It must be Xiu who's here. I made an appointment with him to discuss something important!"
"Then, I'll leave?" The woman was furious, but she was adept at disguising herself, not letting it show. She even considerately went to open the door.
The door opened, and it was indeed Yue Lanxiu. The woman smiled sweetly, "Why are you here so late? Rong Xuan has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Yue Lanxiu was a little different now, with a more melancholic air. She had always compared him to a lazy leopard, but now that this leopard was clearly injured, he seemed even more dangerous!
I heard that his wife had died, that is, Chanel had died. What a joyful thing to celebrate! There is nothing more worthy of celebration than this!
"You haven't dumped him yet!" Yue Lanxiu said this and walked inside, completely ignoring whether her face turned blue or black.
The woman gritted her teeth secretly, staring at his back as if she wanted to make a hole in his eyes. The only thing that hadn't changed was his voice, which was still so annoying!
"What nonsense are you talking about again!" Xu Rongxuan, who came out from inside, rolled his eyes at him when he heard his words. Did he really have such a low opinion of them?
"Your woman is glaring at me viciously, and you don't care." Yue Lanxiu sat down on the sofa tiredly, rubbing his temples.
"I, I didn't!" Li Shuqing immediately explained to Xu Rongxuan, stuttering out of fear. Does Yue Lanxiu have eyes behind his back?!
"Don't pay attention to him!" Xu Rongxuan comforted.
Li Shuqing said tactfully, "Since you have something to talk about, I won't disturb you." Yue Lanxiu was too sharp, and she didn't want to spend even a minute with him.
"I'll take you home!" Xu Rongxuan felt very sorry for her.
"No need, I'm driving!" She didn't want to go back yet. It would be too boring to go back so early. She wanted to go to the bar for a few drinks.
Of course she wouldn't tell him. In his eyes, she wasn't the kind of woman who would go to that kind of place!
"Maybe she doesn't want to go home right now." Yue Lanxiu didn't even look at her, but he could see through her heart.
"Then I'll take you down!" Xu Rongxuan ignored Yue Lanxiu and secretly vowed to compensate her in the future.
"No need, it's more important to do serious things." Li Shuqing kissed him on the cheek, then opened the door and left, almost running away! After leaving, she frowned and complained that Xu Rongxuan was good in every way, except for having a friend like Yue Lanxiu!
"Why do you always look at people with tinted glasses?" Xu Rongxuan knew that Yue Lanxiu was doing this for his own good, fearing that he would be hurt by Li Shuqing again, but he believed that Shuqing was definitely coming back to him sincerely this time!
"You are looking at people through your own filter, the filter of childhood! Putting aside the filter, what else do you like about her? Do you like her hypocrisy? Do you like her fickleness? Do you like her scheming?" Yue Lanxiu didn't believe that Xu Rongxuan knew nothing about Li Shuqing's character, he just didn't want to believe it and face it!
"She's not the same as before," Xu Rongxuan's voice suddenly stopped, and then he changed the subject, "You're in a bad mood! I told you not to drink too much! You should always look forward to life and not always make those who care about you sad!" Zhao Rirou died, and it seemed that she had taken his soul with her! He turned into a ghost wandering the world!
Xu Rongxuan really didn't want to see his friend like this, but he didn't know how to comfort him. Fortunately, this guy still had a sense of responsibility and filial piety. "Think about your aunt. You are the only one she has. If you get yourself into trouble again, what will your aunt do when she is left alone?"
"Okay, I won't fall down. I just got into trouble again! Do you have any cigarettes?" Yue Lanxiu took out an empty cigarette box and said irritably.
"Yes, I told you to drink less, not to smoke more!" Xu Rongxuan stood up and took out the cigarettes from his coat pocket. He also had a motherly side, but only when facing Yue Lanxiu. "What trouble have you caused again?"
Yue Lanxiu took the cigarette from Xu Rongxuan, lit it, took a puff, and then said in a deep voice, "I drank too much last night, and when I woke up..."
Seeing his voice break off and him covering his forehead, looking like he couldn't speak, Xu Rongxuan continued, "When you woke up, you weren't in your own bed? You were in a strange woman's bed?" Xu Rongxuan guessed it easily. After all, when they were drinking at the bar, too many women were eyeing this guy! He was only away for two days, and this guy was picked up by another woman! Oh!
"No, I was still in my own bed when I woke up, but I gave half of it to another woman. That woman was not a stranger, but Yatang!" After saying that, Yue Lanxiu took a few more puffs of his cigarette.
Xu Rongxuan looked at him in surprise, "So you stabbed Yatang! The Yatang who looked like a minor!"
"Can you please stop making things difficult for me?" Yue Lanxiu groaned in pain. "She can't really be a minor!" His hands were shaking as he held the cigarette.
"Does she intend to sue you?" Xu Rongxuan asked, shaking his head. "That's impossible. Anyone with eyes can see that she likes you! Maybe that girl took advantage of you being drunk and unconscious to get close to you! Maybe she raped you! Think about it carefully!"
"I only remember that the woman I hugged last night was my wife! I have no impression of anything else!" Yue Lanxiu closed his eyes and tapped his swollen forehead.
"So you're not completely unconscious, and you're definitely not innocent!" Xu Rongxuan began to imagine, "You came home drunk very late, and everyone else was asleep except Yatang. She came over to help you into the room and onto the bed, and then you mistook her for Zhao Rirou in your drunken state and made inappropriate advances towards her. Although she resisted, she was clearly no match for you. Most importantly, she longed for your love in her heart, so she gave in reluctantly..."
Bang! That's the sound of a head hitting the table!
Xu Rongxuan looked at Tietou Yuelanxiu expressionlessly. This guy's head was fine, but his table seemed a little dented. "You have to take responsibility, whether it's Yatang or my table!"
"I know I have to take responsibility! But I really don't know how!" Yue Lanxiu scratched his now dysfunctional head painfully. "My mother asked me to marry her, and if I marry her I have to love her. I simply can't do it!"
"Why don't you give it a try? Don't get married yet, just date her and see how she goes. Maybe as you get along, you'll slowly discover her good qualities, become fascinated by her, and fall in love with her," Xu Rongxuan suggested. Zhao Rirou was dead, and he didn't want his friend to be imprisoned in his lost love, forever unable to find redemption!
"What if I can't? Wouldn't that make me a hooligan again?" Yue Lanxiu looked as if to say, "What a bad idea you came up with."
"Okay, the question of how to be responsible for her is a bit difficult! But the question of how to be responsible for my desk is much simpler. You just need to buy a model..." Xu Rongxuan was interrupted by Yue Lanxiu before he finished speaking.
"Of course you're responsible for your table!" Seeing him staring at her with a confused look on his face, Yue Lanxiu explained, "You called me here, right? If you hadn't called me here, the table wouldn't have been in trouble, right? So you're the culprit, right?"
Xu Rongxuan was furious at his unreasonable words, but he did remember why he had called him here in the first place. He slammed the table and said, "I almost forgot the real business! Your mother was kidnapped, and your stepfather was forced to turn himself in. During his imprisonment, Xiao Qi met your father!"
When the case was mentioned, Yue Lanxiu quickly changed his expression to seriousness. "You were in charge of that case at first, but because of my close relationship, the higher-ups decided you weren't suitable, so they gave the case to Xiao Qi. It made sense for him to go see my father."
"Yes, but the timing of meeting your father is likely to arouse suspicion!" Xu Rongxuan said sternly.
"My father originally confessed that he had been forced to admit to those false charges because my mother was kidnapped, but in less than a day, he changed his statement and said that he was the real murderer! I have never understood what happened. Could it be that he changed his mind after meeting Xiao Qi?" Yue Lanxiu analyzed, frowning in confusion.
"He did meet Xiao Qi before his transformation. It can be said that it was after meeting Xiao Qi that he changed! According to the person in charge of guarding him at the time, he became extremely negative and miserable after meeting Xiao Qi. His eyes, which were once full of hope, became dim and lifeless!"
"But I remember asking the guard at the time, and he said that no one else had seen my father except me."
"That's because Xiao Qi told us not to tell anyone that he'd met your father. If anyone asked, just say no!" Xu Rongxuan sneered and continued, "But there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall! Didn't you suspect the guards were suspicious? I specially sent a policewoman he liked to get close to him, and sure enough, she got the truth out of him in just a few days!"
"What did Xiao Qi say to irritate my father? At that time, the only thing that could irritate my father was my mother's affairs. Unless someone told him that my mother was still in the hands of the kidnappers, he would not take responsibility for the crime! But how did Xiao Qi know all these things?" Yue Lanxiu narrowed his eyes and thought deeply.
"So I secretly investigated Xiao Qi's movements during that period and who he had contact with. Of course, the only things I could check were the phone records. Unfortunately, it turned out that the people he spoke to were basically ruled out to be related to your father's case!" Xu Rongxuan said disappointedly and puzzled.
"Could it be that a leader above ordered him to do so?"
"I thought so too. Xiao Qi is Inspector Bai's man, so I investigated Inspector Bai, but still found nothing. They don't seem to have anything to do with your mother's kidnapping! I don't think I should doubt them, but Xiao Qi's behavior is really strange. I want to hear what you think?"
Yue Lanxiu was silent. He had already made up his mind and planned to start with Xiao Qi's interpersonal relationships.
Xu Rongxuan suddenly laughed and said, "But I accidentally found out that Xiao Qi has a woman outside!"
"Are you sure? Don't talk about such things casually." Yue Lanxiu said in surprise. In his memory, Xiao Qi loved his wife very much.
"There's a phone number that's been contacted quite regularly. Upon checking, the owner of the number is a young woman who lives in a high-end residential area. I heard she's a mistress kept by a police officer!" Xu Rongxuan thought this couldn't be fake.
"Tell your subordinates to stop spreading rumors!" Yue Lanxiu said calmly. Although he didn't want to see this happen, he also had no interest in meddling in other people's affairs.
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of her." For the sake of his wife Zhuang Youya, Xu Rongxuan wouldn't say anything nonsense, but he felt sorry for Youya!
Yaya was Xiu's first love, so he and Yaya not only knew each other, but were also friends! Later, she broke up with Xiu, but they remained friends.
Xu Rongxuan couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity for Youya, but her eyesight isn't very good either. She didn't choose you, but chose that villain Xiao Qi!"
He wasn't very familiar with Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was a close friend of Xiu's during his internship. Although they had met and had drinks together a few times through Xiu, he didn't have a very good impression of Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi's eyes were always wandering around Youya, who was Xiu's girlfriend at the time, and she would show her affection from time to time!
However, facts have proved that Xiao Qi is not a good person. Not only did he put his friends in an unfair situation, but he also poached their friends!
It's not that Youya is fickle; she's actually a very simple and kindhearted woman. It's precisely because she's so simple-minded that she always looks at things superficially. If something seems wrong, she assumes it's wrong! She and Xiu broke up because of a misunderstanding!
"It's been so long, and you're still nagging about it!" Even those who were dumped have moved on, but Xu Rongxuan still speaks with a look of indignation. Yue Lanxiu knows what happened, and his friends are much more upset than him!
"I just feel sorry for you. You were such a good couple back then. If it weren't for Xiao Qi getting in the way, your kids would have been in school by now!" And Xiu wouldn't have met Asahiro, or at least wouldn't have fallen in love with her. If he hadn't fallen in love with Asahiro, he wouldn't be so miserable now, half-dead!
Speaking of the child, Yue Lanxiu's face turned pale, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He learned from Thyme that he and Zhao Rirou's child was not saved in the end!
Sometimes he wondered why he was still alive. He hadn't even protected his wife or child! What right did he have to live?
At this time, the cell phone rang, and it was Yue Lanhuan calling.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his melancholy, and tried to sound upbeat. "Hello?"
But Yue Lanhuan was in a very bad state and was very anxious, "Oh no! Yatang is missing!"
"What does this mean?" Yue Lanxiu frowned seriously.
"It's already very late, but Yatang is not in the room. She didn't tell me when she went out. Yatang wouldn't be like this. I'm so worried that something happened to her! Will she be unable to bear the consequences? Will she run away and commit suicide?" Yue Lanhuan was almost crying because of her own imagination.
"Can't get over it? Committing suicide?" Yue Lanxiu was so frightened that he almost jumped up. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
Xu Rongxuan also realized the seriousness of the situation and stood up and asked, "Who wants to commit suicide?"
"My mother said Yatang is missing, I have to go back and see him!" Yue Lanxiu was in such a heavy mood that he could hardly breathe.
"I'll go with you!" Xu Rongxuan took a coat and chased after her, secretly praying that nothing would happen to that lady!
In the middle of the night, when Chao Rirou saw Yan Mingchi's face appear outside the window, she thought she was having a nightmare!
His figure suddenly disappeared again. Chao Rirou got up without thinking and chased after him. When she reached a small lake a little far from the villa area, Yan Mingchi was standing there like a ghost, with his back to her, as if waiting for her.
The cool breeze from the lakeside made Chao Rirou's hair tight and painful, and she was surprised to find that this was not a dream!
Yan Mingchi really found her! She had already entered someone else's body, but Yan Mingchi was still able to find her. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the person standing in front of her was a human or a ghost!
"You and I are indeed the same kind!"
Yan Mingchi suddenly said this, and Chao Rirou had no idea what he meant.
"Do you know who I am?" Asahiro asked tentatively.
"Aren't you my disciple Zhao Rirou?" Yan Mingchi asked back, his eyes narrowed into slits due to his smile, but it was still difficult to look directly at him, full of oppression.
Chao Rirou shuddered, not sure if it was the cold wind or the fact that Yan Mingchi had approached. "I can't believe Master still recognizes me even in this state!" Chao Rirou was genuinely curious about how he had managed it.
"Don't think too highly of me. My beloved disciple was killed in the explosion, so naturally I had to find the murderer. I found this girl named Yatang suspicious, so I set my sights on her, and that's how I spotted you!" Yan Mingchi said succinctly, not mentioning that his main focus was on Yue Lanxiu. He had been tricked by that brat!
So that's how it is! This means that Yan Mingchi has been watching her every move recently! Thinking of this, Zhao Rirou broke out in a cold sweat.
"I'm glad that you're not dead, but judging from your expression, you don't seem to want to see me! Are you afraid that I will interfere with you and Yue Lanxiu? You two can be considered to be a couple that finally get married!" Although Yan Mingchi's smile remained, Chao Rirou could feel his anger, especially when he said the three words "Yue Lanxiu".
Zhao Rirou thought that he might not like her being with Yue Lanxiu, and immediately explained, "How could that be? I was planning to leave him!"
"You don't have to leave him so quickly. I like you staying by his side like this." Yan Mingchi said unexpectedly, "I need you to help me find someone. That person is Yue Lanxiu's master! Have you heard him talk about his master?"
"Yue Lanxiu's master?" Chao Rirou shook her head. Yue Lanxiu had never mentioned him, and she had never been curious. But now she was very curious, because when Yan Mingchi mentioned Yue Lanxiu's master, his aura changed, becoming like an ordinary person, and a look of longing appeared in his eyes.
Yan Mingchi responded indifferently, but didn't say anything else. In a few seconds, he turned back into the Yan Mingchi she was familiar with.
"I heard that Yue Lanxiu's mother wants you to get married?" An emotionless voice came.
"It's true, but I didn't agree to it." Asahirou was shocked. He really didn't do much research!
"Just agree to it!" Yan Mingchi uttered surprising words again.
Zhao Rirou was stunned, her eyes wide open as she stared at Yan Mingchi in bewilderment. She caught a glimpse of calculation in his eyes. Who was he planning to plot against? Yue Lanxiu's name subconsciously popped up in her mind!
"But Yue Lanxiu refused!" Chao Rirou said she was powerless.
"Because we still don't know your true identity, right?"
Chao Rirou wondered, could it be that Yan Mingchi wanted her to tell Yue Lanxiu the truth?
"Keep hiding it from him! Marry him as Yatang!" What Yan Mingchi said today was always surprising.
"Yes," Chao Rirou said distractedly, "but it will probably take some time for him to agree." Marrying him as Ya Tang meant he would fall in love with Ya Tang? Chao Rirou felt she couldn't do it! She couldn't do it even if she was beaten to death!
"No need, he will agree soon!" The smile on both sides of Yan Mingchi's mouth deepened, and his expression was strange and dangerous.
Under Zhao Rirou's puzzled eyes, Yan Mingchi kicked her twice, one kick on her leg and the other kicking her into the lake behind her!
There was a huge pain in her feet. Asahirou felt like her feet were about to break and she couldn't move at all...
Yue Lanhuan was looking for someone nearby when a car approached from a distance and stopped in front of her. The window opened, revealing a handsome yet evil face.
While Yue Lanhuan was confused, the strange man said to her, "Are you looking for someone? There was a girl who committed suicide by jumping into the lake behind. I wonder if she is the person you are looking for?"
Yue Lanhuan's heart almost jumped out of her mouth when she heard this. She hurriedly shouted "Uncle Zhong" and ran in the direction the man said, not even bothering to say thank you.
The man saw someone had gone to rescue his apprentice, so he closed the car window with satisfaction and prepared to leave. A car was coming quickly from the opposite direction. If he guessed correctly, it should be Yue Lanxiu!
As the two cars intersected, he caught sight of Yue Lanxiu's delightful profile. Although he had seen him several times before, he was still captivated every time he saw him! This boy's appearance really suited his taste.
But Yue Lanxiu had no time to notice him, especially after seeing his mother's hurried figure in front.
"Mom, where are you going?" Yue Lanxiu opened the car window, stuck his head out and called out to Yue Lanhuan. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xu Rongxuan, who came with him, also had a hunch that something was wrong! Something happened to Yatang!
Seeing Yue Lanxiu, Yue Lanhuan couldn't hold back her tears anymore, "Oh no! I just heard a man say that someone committed suicide by the lake! I'm so scared it was Yatang!" She was so anxious that her voice was trembling.
Yue Lanxiu's heart sank to the bottom. Seeing Uncle Zhong rushing over after hearing Yue Lanhuan's cries, Yue Lanxiu asked Uncle Zhong to take good care of Yue Lanhuan and promised them that he would definitely find Yatang! Then he stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the lake.
In the lake, when Chao Rirou was about to lose consciousness, she saw Yue Lanxiu. He grabbed her hand and saved her from danger again.
On the shore, Chao Rirou spat out a mouthful of water and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that she had woken up, Yue Lanxiu sighed with relief, stopped pressing her chest immediately, and collapsed on the ground.
Zhao Rirou supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to sit up. Yue Lanxiu saw that she was unable to use her strength, so he reached out to help her up.
When their eyes met, she subconsciously revealed her dependence on him. He felt guilty, reluctant, and conflicted about her... but in the end, there was no love between them.
The confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, as if he had suddenly made a big decision. He looked at her and said word by word, "I will be responsible for you. As long as you are willing to get married, then I am willing too!"
Asahirou stared at his face and eyes in disbelief. Why did he make such a sudden decision? Why did he accept another woman so quickly?
Xu Rongxuan, who had been standing nearby, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise upon hearing this. However, Xu Rongxuan knew that his sense of responsibility always trumped everything else! This woman had committed suicide to obtain him, but she had also imprisoned him! Xu Rongxuan couldn't help but sigh for his friend's helpless life.
Yue Lanxiu didn't understand why she was looking at him with accusatory eyes, but he still had to finish what he was saying, a very important sentence, "Don't do stupid things again!"
"Doing something stupid?" Confusion flashed in Chao Rirou's eyes. When she was about to say something, Yue Lanhuan's crying voice came over.
"Why are you so stupid? Why are you so depressed? I told you that I would definitely take care of it for you!" Yue Lanhuan looked at her miserable condition and determined that she had committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Zhao Rirou seemed to understand something. She understood Yan Mingchi's last words, and why he was pushing her into this! His goal was to make them think she was going to commit suicide! His goal was to drive Yue Lanxiu's sense of responsibility and guilt to the highest point, so that he would be unable to overcome the condemnation of his conscience and marry her! Finally, he would fall into Yan Mingchi's trap!
Yue Lanxiu stood up and stepped aside. After handing Yatang to his mother, he planned to go back and change his wet clothes.
Xu Rongxuan followed beside him, "Do you really want to marry her? Or is this just a spur of the moment move?"
"Can you talk about this kind of thing casually?" Yue Lanxiu looked ahead, his eyes were dim, tired and empty.
"You definitely can't just say it casually. When you marry someone, you have to love them? Can you do it?" Looking at his eyes that were devoid of love, it would be strange if he could do it! So Xu Rongxuan had to remind him to think clearly!
"I can only say that if she wants marriage, I can give it to her, but if she wants love, that's not something I can decide!" Yue Lanxiu said expressionlessly, his eyes like a dry well, no longer able to stir up any ripples.
Zhao Rirou looked at Yue Lanxiu's back, which seemed to be wearing heavy shackles, and felt bitter in her heart, but more worried. She watched him fall into Yan Mingchi's trap but was powerless to do anything!
Although she didn't know what Yan Mingchi was going to do, she would stand on Yue Lanxiu's side no matter what!
In order to avoid arousing Yan Mingchi's suspicion, she decided to just go along with his wishes for now! She didn't have much of an objection to marrying Yue Lanxiu anyway.
