975 Jewelry (1/2)
The next day.
Delia brought Lu Yan to the mall with him, but after waiting for a while, An'an still hadn't arrived. Furrowing his brows, Delia checked the time for the umpteenth. ”Why isn't An'an here yet?”
Lu Yan wore a navy blue t-shirt with black pants that day. He just slumped against the wall, remaining impassive without showing an ounce of emotion on his face that was hidden under the cap he wore.
A sensual voice was heard. ”Master Delia, I'm late.”
It was An'an.
Lu Yan froze, lifting his eyes to steal a glance at An'an. An'an could feel someone looking at her with some displeasure. She knew that it was Lu Yan looking at her.
”An'an, you're finally here. Let me take you shopping today. You can pick everything, from jewelry to clothes and bags. Pick whatever you want.”
Delia pointed at the sparkling jewelry in the display cases.
”Boss, I'm gonna go for a smoke.” Lu Yan left.
…
In the stairway.
Lu Yan had one hand in his pocket while the other was preoccupied with a cigarette. He was puffing on it.
Knock knock. A lithe figure appeared in his line of vision. ”I need a flame.”
It was An'an.
An'an walked in front of him, holding a cigarette in her hand. She held the cigarette between her lips and came up on her tiptoes, lighting it up with the cigarette in his mouth.
Their faces were close and their breathing entangled. Lu Yan lowered his eyes to look at her, snatching over the cigarette in her mouth before breaking it into two halves. He cast the broken cigarette into the bin.
”Who did you pick up smoking from? You're not allowed to smoke.”
”Then you're not allowed to smoke either.” She stretched out her hand, wanting to snatch his cigarette over.
Lu Yan grasped her wrist with the same hand he used to hold the cigarette, his voice deepened as he warned her, ”Stop giving me trouble.”
He flung her wrist away, bringing the cigarette to his lips.
He was really angry.
”I know that you're angry at me for not listening to you but the mission this time is to get Delia's private stamp. Such an important thing must be really difficult to obtain. With Delia's current obsession with me, you should know that I'm the best person for this.”
Lu Yan spat out the smoke and looked at her impassively. ”You're done?”
”What?”
Lu Yan threw the cigarette butt into the bin before turning around to leave. He obviously didn't want to talk to her.
”…”
An'an went in front, stretching out both arms to hug his trim waist from the back.
Lu Yan froze.
”Ah Yan, open your eyes and look at me now. I'm no longer the An'an you need to protect, I can also be responsible for myself. I want to be the woman who can not only give you the warmth you need at home, but also fight alongside you when you're outside.”
Lu Yan's gaze changed, he turned around and placed his palm on her stomach.
He cared about her stomach every moment.
”Ah Yan.” An'an held his palm. ”I used a pregnancy test kit yesterday, I'm not pregnant.”
Lu Yan lifted his eyes to look at her. ”You're really not pregnant?”
”Mm.” An'an nodded.
Lu Yan retracted his palm, putting it in his pocket.
An'an was disappointed. He had been deliberating about their relationship all along, it was only after he thought that she was pregnant only then his attitude changed.
