973 Lu Yan! (1/2)

Lu Yan knew it, she cared a lot about the diamond ring he wore around his neck. He stretched out his large hand, ruffling her hair. ”An'an, give me a little more time.”

”I can give you some time, but,” An'an came up on her tiptoes and continued, ”Answer me, are you… Blood Eagle?”

That was her second time asking him.

Lu Yan remained impassive, not even raising his brows. ”It's not good for you if you know too much.” The less she knew about, the more safe she would be.

”Let's go, it's time to go home.” Lu Yan placed her hand in his palm and took her downstairs.

An'an looked at his tall build. She knew that he had his reasons for not telling her. But she would find him one day.

She definitely would.

There was a car parked outside of the Underground Palace, it was sent by Gu Mohan especially for An'an.

Lu Yan hadn't gone out, but rather, hid in a dark corner. He let go of her hand. ”Get in the car.”

An'an looked at him, her eyes crinkling into a smile. ”I'm leaving.”

Lu Yan nodded. ”Mm.”

An'an got in the car and the window wound down. She waved at him before the car sped away.

Like that, she had left.

Lu Yan watched as the luxury car sped away, disappearing before him.

With both hands in his pockets, he didn't leave. He just stood there, lowering his head, his heart feeling somewhat empty. He felt like his heart was emptied out once she had left.

He didn't know, he wasn't certain if a person like him who could only stand in a dark corner, was fit to have her. She was someone who wouldn't have to hide around.

He actually wanted to head outside just now.

To send her off.

To pull open the door for her, to bend over and plant a kiss on her forehead, to stand under the sun and kiss her.

But no, he couldn't do that.

Lu Yan lifted his eyes. It was drizzling outside.

Now that it was already late into fall, the rain would cause the temperature outside to fall even more, especially at night. Lu Yan stood along the corridor, his shirt billowing out because of the wind and he had both hands in his pockets. His tall figure appeared a little lonely.

As the rain fell harder, he didn't know how long he stood there. After a long while, he finally turned around, preparing to enter the Underground Palace.

But just after taking one step, he heard a tender voice. ”Hey, Lu Yan.”

Lu Yan was stunned, he instantly turned back to check.

The luxury car had returned and An'an was standing in the rain, lifting her head to look at him.

She had returned.

She had actually returned!

Lu Yan's face turned somber, he walked over to stand in front of her. ”Little rascal, you're itching for a beating?”

Her black dress had been soaked in the rain. He stretched out his hand, grasping her wrist before pulling her underneath the shelter.

One corridor separated the rainy world outside. Though it wasn't a warm place to hide from the rain, the atmosphere had been warmed up because of them.

Lu Yan pushed her against the wall, looking at her drenched skirt as he lectured her, ”Why did you come back after leaving? Is it really fun to stand in the rain?”

An'an lifted her eyes to look at him. ”I was looking at you from inside the car, you didn't leave.”
