The next morning.

Lu Yan rolled over. Stretching his strong arm out to hold the delicate body beside him, he wanted to hug her and sleep a while more.

But there was n.o.body beside him.

Lu Yan’s thick, curly lashes quivered and he gradually opened his eyes. He regained clarity after a few seconds of sleepiness. It was not a dream.

The s.e.xual encounter that happened last night was not a dream. It was real.

He had really done it with An’an.

An’an had become his woman.

He sat up on the bed. The navy blue blanket glided down to his muscular torso, revealing the scratch marks on his bronze upper body.

These were inflicted by her while she was crying from the pain.

This little thing had initiated the act, but as she was too young, she was unable to withstand it. When she was in extreme pain, she gazed at him with watery eyes and her lips pouted, as if she was blaming him.

At that point in time, he was also in pain. It was the first time that he had wanted a woman so badly he ached.

He lifted the blanket. He pulled his boxers and trousers, which had been thrown onto the floor, towards him and put on his clothes.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. An Xi pushed the door open and entered. “Brother Ah Yan, are you awake?”

Lu Yan was standing by the bed and wearing his clothes with his back facing her.

An Xi froze. The bright rays of the morning sun shone through the gla.s.s window onto the man’s broad shoulders. He was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt, and the thick outline of his shoulders and his strong shoulder blades formed a s.e.xy line. There were also a few scratch marks on his back.

An Xi was not naive. She knew at a glance that these scratch marks had been inflicted by a woman.

He had… done it with An’an last night?

Disappointment welled up in An Xi’s eyes, but she still walked ahead and helped the man to straighten the bedsheets.

What An Xi saw on the bedsheets made her stunned.

The bedsheets were creased, and there was a glaring stain the shape of a plum blossom on the sheets.

Besides the plum blossom stain, there were a few blotches on the entire bed, and it made one blush to even look at the bed.

An Xi blushed. She wanted to remove the bedsheets to wash them.

At this moment, a coa.r.s.e hand grasped her wrist. “What are you doing?”

An Xi turned around and met Lu Yan’s deep brown eyes. There was faint displeasure in his eyes.

“Brother Ah Yan, I’ll help you to wash the bedsheets.”

Lu Yan glanced at the plum blossom stain on the bedsheets and his throat bobbed. Releasing An Xi’s hand, he stuck one hand into his trousers pocket. “No need, you can leave.”

An Xi’s face blanched. There was a film of tears in her eyes. Turning around quickly, she ran out of the room.

At this moment, Li Si entered. “Yan Zi, what happened to you and An Xi? Why did I see An Xi running out in tears?”

Lu Yan pursed his thin lips and did not say anything.

“Yan Zi, this is wrong of you. An Xi has waited for so many years for you, and has been by your side all this while. She…”

“It’s precisely because she is a good woman that I can’t give her hope,” Lu Yan replied.

Li Si froze. He knew that the man was stubborn and would not change his mind when he had decided on something.

“Yan Zi, in that case, then it’s better for An Xi to give up hope. Also, you are no longer young. If you like Miss An’an, then settle down early with her. Let her know about your ident.i.ty and get her to bear a child for you. This way, your late parents will be able to rest in peace knowing that there’s a descendant.”

Li Si knew that Lu Yan would heed his advice. He would not be able to answer to his late parents if he did not have a child.

It was hard to find a man who was more filial than Lu Yan.

Lu Yan stayed silent for a while. His handsome features looked composed and he did not have much of an expression.

Li Si looked at the blood test report in his hand. “Yan Zi, the toxins in your body have almost disappeared. It’s time that we return to Capital and you can resume your status as “Master Yan”. We have received news from above that Henry is in jail now, but his second-in-command, Delia, has taken over his position and has committed a crime in South Africa. Delia should be getting in touch with you very soon.”

Lu Yan nodded. “Let’s return in the next couple of days.”

“Alright.” Li Si turned around to leave.

…

After he left, Lu Yan strode to the bed. He hunched his broad body and caressed the plum blossom stain with one calloused finger.

It was the most beautiful and precious thing that she had given him.

It was the best gift that he had received in his life.

He took out a pair of scissors and cut out the plum blossom stain before placing it into his trouser pocket.

When he thought about last night, his scalp was still tingling intermittently.

He was unsure if it was due to him not having touched any woman for a long time, but he felt that he had truly tasted a woman only last night.

He had never thought about his and her future before last night. But after last night, he wanted to ponder about their future.

She was already his woman.

She was already his woman!

These words reverberated around in his mind. Lu Yan gradually curved his thin lips and the joy in his heart could not be suppressed.

Ever since his mother pa.s.sed away, he had not experienced joy for many years.

Ever since his mother pa.s.sed away, he had always been alone, but now he felt like there was someone by his side.

He could barely wait to keep her under his wings. Even if days were difficult, he would plan for the future. He would always protect, adore and love her. He would not let her suffer even the slightest bit when she was with him.

Now he was beginning to think about things that he did not dare to think about in the past.

He wanted to settle down with her.

After wandering around for so many years, he wanted to settle down. If… if he wanted to marry her, would she agree to it?

If… if he wanted her to bear a child for him, would she agree to it?

If… if he revealed his ident.i.ty to her, would she agree to it? Would she accept him?

Actually it should not be too difficult. He was able to protect a big family, so why could he not protect a small family? He wanted to have a home with her.

In the future, he would cherish his own life. He would live for her and their baby.

Lu Yan’s thoughts were all over the place. He felt that his life had already become different. This totally new difference made him exuberant.

It was as if a seed had been suddenly thrown into a pool of still water, and this seed swiftly germinated in his heart.

He opened the door. He was going to look for An’an.

He needed to see her right now.

…

After arriving at An’an’s room, Lu Yan raised his hand to knock on the door.

But just then, the door opened automatically. He peered through the gap to see a familiar figure in An’an’s room. It was Li Junxun.

“An’an, we are returning tomorrow. I’ve thought about it. After we are back home, I’ll take you traveling. We can go to see lavender and sakura flowers, or go skiing in the snow. We’ll do whatever you like, alright?”
