Chapter 480 - 469
Chapter 480 - 469
In the past few days, Lu Jinxuan and Tang Yueze seem to be busy with something. Yu Sangwan noticed it but didn’t ask.
Occasionally hearing them talk about some lists or processes, Yu Sangwan thought, it should be activities in Lu Jinxuan’s circle, right? Is he trying to pull her into his world again? But Yu Sangwan had no mind to consider these things now, so she didn’t ask.
Early this morning, Lu Jinxuan took Tang Yueze out.
As he was leaving, he said he was going to a hill behind the villa. Yu Sangwan responded half-heartedly, her eyelids twitching... she always felt that something would happen today.
That day, she risked sending a message to Pei Pei, did she receive it? If she did, could Pei Pei help her?
In the evening, pebbles hit the floor-to-ceiling window. At first, Yu Sangwan didn’t notice, but then more pebbles followed.
"Who?" Yu Sangwan’s heart raced. She knew it wouldn’t be someone from the Lu Family, so... could it be Pei Pei?
Swallowing nervously, she slowed her steps to the window, and unexpectedly saw An Zihao!
"Ah..." Yu Sangwan covered her mouth in astonishment and immediately opened the window, "You?"
An Zihao knew she still resented him, and smiled bitterly, "Wanwan, Peipei told me. I’m sorry, it took me a few days to find here. This is Lu Family’s private property. I asked around two days for someone coming to the island before sneaking in."
Yu Sangwan was aware of this; there had been many guests coming to the island recently.
Looking at An Zihao, Yu Sangwan felt conflicted. She never expected that one day she would need An Zihao’s help.
"Wanwan, I didn’t think much. It was my fault in the past... I just want to help you, please don’t refuse, okay?" An Zihao lowered his head, not daring to look at her. It was clear he wanted to help her, yet his tone was pleading.
Yu Sangwan awkwardly smiled, "Let’s not talk about the past. I haven’t even thanked you for taking care of my dad during this time."
One sentence, and hope appeared in An Zihao’s eyes, "It will be quite chaotic here tomorrow. Lu Jinxuan will definitely be entertaining guests, and during the chaos, I’ll take you away... is that okay?"
"..." Yu Sangwan thought for a moment; there was no other way, "Okay."
"Wanwan, it’s like this..."
"..."
The two discussed the arrangements for tomorrow. Footsteps were heard at the door, indicating a servant was coming, "Miss Yu..."
Yu Sangwan hurriedly waved at An Zihao, "You should go now!"
"Okay!" An Zihao nodded, giving her a deep look, "Wanwan, don’t be afraid."
"..." Yu Sangwan stood stunned, reluctantly nodding and closed the window.
How could An Zihao know, she wasn’t afraid. Lu Jinxuan was flawless with her. However, it was his refusal to let go of her father that became the reason she had to leave him.
The next day, before dawn, Lu Jinxuan got up.
Lu Jinxuan washed up and kissed Yu Sangwan lightly.
"Mm..." Yu Sangwan had actually been awake for a while and only pretended to open her eyes now.
Lu Jinxuan chuckled softly, "Have I woken you?"
"..." Yu Sangwan mumbled softly, rubbing her eyes.
Lu Jinxuan pulled her up, "Since you’re awake, get up and help me dress! I like it when you dress me."
"...Okay." Yu Sangwan thought about leaving today. Her departure would surely anger him. Between them... it probably would not be possible anymore. Thinking of this made her sad; this might be their last moment of tenderness.
In the dressing room, Lu Jinxuan’s outfit for today was hanging.
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan took down the clothes, finding it odd. "A white shirt, black suit?"
Lu Jinxuan’s gaze turned dark, and he nodded slightly, "Yes, wear this today."
Yu Sangwan didn’t think much of it; dressing so formally... it seemed like attending a funeral. She opened the shirt, and Lu Jinxuan bent down in front of her to get dressed. Actually, he really was a very considerate lover—once certain of each other, he’s absolutely a perfect partner.
After today, this man would no longer belong to her... Yu Sangwan felt an urge to cry.
Carefully tying his tie, she looked up at him, "All done."
Lu Jinxuan saw her expression and laughed, "Your eyes look like you really want to devour me."
"Yes!" Yu Sangwan hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him, "Can’t I?"
Lu Jinxuan raised an eyebrow, cupping her face, his breath rushing past her ear, "Elf! Seducing me at a time like this? Do you want me to explode?"
"Do you want to?" Yu Sangwan ignored him, sliding her hands down.
Lu Jinxuan restrained himself and held her hands, suppressing his desire, "Not now, I have to leave soon. It’s still early; sleep a bit longer. The servants will wake you. Once you’re awake, change into the clothes in the box; you need to stand by my side today."
"...Okay."
Yu Sangwan nodded, seeing him off at the door.
The room fell quiet; it was impossible for her to fall asleep again. She headed to the dressing room to change clothes and noticed the box with her new clothes delivered yesterday.
Driven by curiosity, Yu Sangwan opened the box. She initially expected a lavish dress, but... it wasn’t. Yu Sangwan found it strange, why was it a black outfit similar to what Lu Jinxuan wore earlier? The bottom was a skirt, and it came with a hat.
"...What’s going on?"
As she was pondering, the window was knocked... it was An Zihao!
Yu Sangwan hastily closed the box, changed clothes, and went out.
"Zi Hao."
An Zihao stood outside the window, reaching his hand to her, "Wanwan, we can’t go through the main door, come... I’ll help you out."
"Okay." Yu Sangwan held her breath, carefully grasping his hand and moved out.
After leaving the small villa, they headed along the coastline. Running too fast, Yu Sangwan clutched her stomach, out of breath, "Zi Hao, how do we leave?"
An Zihao explained, "Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything; I borrowed a small boat from the yacht, and a large ship en route will come to pick us up."
Yu Sangwan felt touched. Knowing how powerful Lu Jinxuan’s influence was, An Zihao attached himself to the guests invited by the Lu Family, yet his purpose was to take away Lu Jinxuan’s woman. Once discovered, An Zihao would inevitably be implicated.
Someone like An Zihao, who navigated the business world for so long, understood this well, yet he still reached out to help her.
"Zi Hao, thank you." Yu Sangwan sniffed, eyes moistening a bit. Life is unpredictable; she hadn’t expected their relationship to change like this in such a short time.
An Zihao glanced back at her, "Wanwan, people who did wrong don’t always remain unchanged. Don’t thank me, after all, I’m your brother; you’ve called me brother for so many years, remember?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was pensive, nodding with a smile, "I remember."
Strangely, she seemed to care less about An Zihao’s past misdeeds... perhaps because she no longer cared about him as a person!
