He left and went to A City to find Lu Feng, who was studying at a university there at that time.

However, deep inside, he felt uneasy from the beginning to the end. He didnt confide this matter to Lu Feng He merely stated that he came here to clear his mind, and he drowned his sorrows with one gla.s.s of alcohol after another.

This was the most difficult period for him.

However, with his personality, he did not want to tell anyone. He only sulked.

For the first time, he realized he was being pretentious.

All this fuss over a trivial matter.

Given his social standing, there was nothing he couldnt enjoy or experience, but Jin Nians was firmly embedded in his senses, and he couldnt let go.

After careful consideration, he decided to go abroad, perhaps because of Jin Nian, or maybe just to change his mood.

During his time abroad, he occasionally inquired about Jin Nians well-being. He would return for summer and winter vacations. One day, he impulsively decided to start a company, which happened just like that.

Under his leaders.h.i.+p, Whales workforce grew, from just him to ten, a hundred, and eventually becoming a large company.

He wasnt naturally ambitious, and he never paid much attention to the companys affairs. He hardly intended to manage it himself, thinking that with more people, someone would naturally step in. This was a stroke of luck.

Despite all the events that transpired, there was always someone living in his heart. He held onto Jin Nian, remembering her incessantly.

By chance, he established an online persona with Jin Nian. She didnt know it was him, but she knew Jin Nian liked landscapes. Lu An shared many beautiful scenes with her, scenes he had encountered on his journey.

Though Lu An went abroad during this time, he spent considerable time in the country, mainly attending to the companys matters.

Jin Nian remained unaware that, many times, she could turn around and see traces of Lu An. Every year on his birthday, he would return to the country, catch a glimpse from a distance, and send a message, Happy birthday.

Though they were so close in physical distance, they seemed worlds apart.

When she returned, Jin Nian was already awake.

Now, Jin Nian had been awake for a while. She gazed at Lu An and asked, Why did it take you so long?

Her voice was strangely hoa.r.s.e, perhaps from just waking up. She hadnt expected to sound like this.

Lu An brought in a cup of freshly warmed milk and placed it on the bedside table.

Jin Nian didnt like to drink milk, but Lu An explained it was made with powdered milk. Jin Nian was relieved. She found plain milk too bland, but milk with a hint of sweetness was acceptable.

How did you know I wanted to drink this? Jin Nian looked at Lu An with surprise.

Lu An smiled and handed the milk to Jin Nian. She reached out and took it. At such a close distance, she could see the red mark on Lu Ans neck. The memory of what had just transpired flashed in her mind. She was momentarily stunned, and then her face turned red.

Seeing Jin Nians baffled expression, Lu An was puzzled. Whats wrong?

Jin Nian pursed her lips. I accidentally left a mark on your neck just now.

Hearing this, Lu An walked to the mirror and examined the mark on his neck.

It was just above his collarbone. With his fair skin, the red mark stood out, bright and vibrant, but to him, it held a different significance.

His lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile.

Now, he was a man marked by his wife.

Early the next morning, Lu An arrived at the company. Naturally, a crowd saw the bright mark on his neck.

Because he hadnt attempted to conceal it, the top b.u.t.ton of his white s.h.i.+rt was undone, revealing the vibrant red mark for all to see. Anyone with decent vision could make it out.

Although they didnt know much about Lu An, they were aware he wasnt the flirtatious type. However, they also noted the absence of a ring on his finger.

This scene fueled speculation. After all, Lu An hadnt publicly declared he was married, so n.o.body made the connection.

The crowd discussed animatedly.

Has the boss got a girlfriend now?

There were still people who didnt give up and thought that they had been seen wrongly. They took the doc.u.ments and pretended to look for Lu An for work matters. When they saw the strawberry mark on his neck, they finally give up.

Then, attention turned back to Jin Nian.

She was startled by herself while showering.

Compared to the marks on Lu Ans body, there were more marks on her body.

Compared to Lu Ans, her marks were more obvious.

Get to bed early. Well go jogging together tomorrow morning, Lu An said to Jin Nian when he came back at night.

The moment she heard the word jogging, Jin Nians mood swiftly soured. I dont want to jog!

However, Lu An presented a detailed plan and expressed that there was no room for discussion..
