Chapter 201: Who Started the Fire

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

If it werent for Xie Hes stunning looks, she wouldnt have successfully seduced Lu Zhengze.

At that time, Lu Zhengze persisted in marrying Xie He despite the unanimous opposition of his entire family.

However, after they got married, their initial love faded away, and they started having different dreams while sharing the same bed. In just a few years, their marriage ended in divorce.

In terms of emotions, there was certainly something there. However, Xie He was a woman with strong ambitions, and she couldnt prioritize emotions above all else.

Seeing this, Xie He didnt try to stop him and simply said, Then youd better think about how to deal with those old-fas.h.i.+oned folks from the Lu family!

Lu An chuckled. You dont need to worry about that.

After the call ended, Lu An put down the watering can he was holding.

At that moment, he still had a cigarette in his mouth. After squinting his eyes slightly, he took a deep drag of the mint-flavored cigarette and exhaled it slowly. The taste of mint was mild, and he had been attempting to quit smoking recently. Even when he did smoke, he would only do it on the balcony to avoid Jin Nian. He wouldnt smoke indoors.

Lu An wasnt concerned about the situation in Hong Kong, but Jin Nian was a shy and reserved person. If he directly accompanied Jin Nian to meet all sorts of people, Jin Nian might not have felt comfortable.

The smoke slowly rose in the sunlight, briefly obscuring Lu Ans expression before dissipating.

Today, Lu An was dressed neatly. He wore a white T-s.h.i.+rt with a black sweater layered on top. Below, he had on a pair of utility pants that accentuated his stylish figure, thanks to his long legs.

Lu An was all in black, and at this moment, he was enveloped in white smoke, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. His demeanor even carried a hint of melancholy.

Back in his school days, Lu An was spotted smoking once. He was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt then, but it had a stand-up collar, making him look exceptionally sharp. Lu An seemed like an old hand at smoking, his black hair lightly tousled by the wind, a cigarette held in his hand, and the exhaled smoke dispersing into the air. His expression was casual and carefree, resembling that of a rebellious student.

During that time, Jin Nian shouted, Lu An!

Lu Ans body shook, and he instinctively hid the cigarette behind his back.

Jin Nian had seen it clearly and rushed over to s.n.a.t.c.h the cigarette. Why are you smoking? Do you think its cool?

Lu An denied it.

Ignoring Lu Ans words, Jin Nian started searching his pockets.

Her touch seemed to carry a faint electric current, moving from top to bottom. Lu An nearly lost control of himself, standing there stunned and motionless as Jin Nian thoroughly searched him from head to toe.

Jin Nian successfully found the cigarette box and lighter. After confiscating them, she stated, Lu An, you have to quit smoking, or 1 wont let you off!

Lu An admitted defeat.

At that time, Lu An genuinely and obediently followed Jin Nians advice, quitting smoking and replacing it with sucking on lollipops whenever he had the urge.

At this moment, when Jin Nian saw Lu An, she once again shouted, Lu An!

Lu An was now tall and mature, no longer resembling a youth. Nevertheless, he was still taken aback for a moment, and he quickly extinguished his cigarette, intending to secretly dispose of it in a flower pot.

Jin Nian briskly walked over, her eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp, and she immediately found the cigarette b.u.t.t he had tossed into the flowerpot. Is this your idea of quitting smoking?

Jin Nian reached out and rummaged through all his pockets, from top to bottom.

Finally, when her hand slipped into the pockets of his utility pants, it was as if a spark had ignited, growing even fiercer. It was almost as if Jin Nian was going to set Lu An on fire.

The images from their youth and the present overlapped, igniting a fire within Lu An.

Just as Jin Nian retrieved the cigarette box and lighter, Lu An hoisted her onto his shoulder and walked directly into the bedroom.

Jin Nian kicked Lu Ans shoulder playfully. What are you doing?

Lu An just chuckled, his laughter deep and low. Im doing something Ive wanted to do for a long time.

Back when he had been searched for the cigarette box by Jin Nian, he had already harbored such feelings. But at that time, they were both too young and he didnt dare to touch her. He could only secretly appease his desires after Jin Nian had left. However, things were different now.

Lu An gently placed Jin Nian on the soft bed and slipped his knees between her legs, enfolding her in his arms.

It wasnt too late to let the one who had ignited the fire now extinguish it.

Everything appeared blissful, but Jin Nian always felt a tinge of regret in her heart because she couldnt find the ring that Lu An had given her.

Subsequently, Lu An even offered a reward throughout the entire company to find that ring, but after several days, no one said that they had found the ring.

The price of the ring itself wasnt high, but Lu An had never told Jin Nian that he had forged the ring himself.

Jin Nian was a nostalgic person. She felt that she had worn the ring for so long, but now that the ring was gone, she felt that something was empty.

Lu An didnt care much about this and comforted her, Its just a ring. Ill give you a new one another day.

I want the same one as that one! Jin Nian said.

Lu An was a little helpless.. How could he just give Jin Nian a ring that was the same as before?
