After Lu Ming’s departure, only Chu Yichen and Li An’an were left in the living room.
Li An’an silently let go of Chu Yichen’s arm. “I haven’t slept enough. I’m going back to bed!”
But Chu Yichen refused to let go of her hand. “Weren’t you very clingy just then? Why are you kicking me aside after Lu Ming has left? You’re making use of me!” Chu Yichen sounded furious. His anger had already peaked the moment Lu Ming had so boldly confessed to her. The thought that she was trying to please him only because she was worried about Lu Ming made him even angrier.
Li An’an couldn’t keep up with his reaction. She had no idea what it was she said that made him think she still had feelings for Lu Ming.
“I don’t think so? I felt that I said what was right and didn’t leave any room for negotiation. I certainly didn’t defend him!” She had asked Lu Ming to leave only because she was worried that things would get out of hand. After all, Lu Ming was also a man of status.
But Chu Yichen seemed to have misunderstood.
“No? Didn’t you say that you knew through food delivery? You wanted to protect him!” Chu Yichen started to settle the score!
Li An’an was speechless. “Don’t you think I need to be protected more than him? Besides, he’s rich and powerful. He doesn’t need my protection. I just didn’t want to bring up the past. You’ve seen what my foster parents are like.” Chu Yichen looked at her calm eyes and thought of her background. He relaxed his grip.
“They’re already at our door. What are you going to do?”
“I don’t want to have anything to do with them. Besides, I’m doing well now! By the way, do you know the Li family?” She recalled how she had woken up on his bed those years ago. Clearly, she was given to CEO Cao. What happened in between?
Chu Yichen poured himself a glass of wine. “You think they have what it takes to be acquainted with me? They’re not even fit to carry my shoes!” Chu Yichen’s tone was arrogant. There were countless wealthy families. The Li family was at most a nouveau riche. He was certainly not so lowly as to know such people!
Li An’an was puzzled. Then how did she end up on his bed? What had happened?
However, she did not dare to probe further.
“When did you leave the Li family?” Chu Yichen asked. From now on, he wanted to know more about her. But he didn’t wish to investigate, preferring her to offer the information.
Li An’an lowered her head. “Five years ago, when I was a freshman, I didn’t graduate because I fell out with the Li family.”
Even now, her highest level of education was only high school. So other than using her beautiful appearance, it was difficult to find a high-paying job. She had been severely disadvantaged because of her lack of academic qualifications, but fortunately, things were going in a good direction now. However, the Li family had come to cause trouble again. Now, she would not retreat!
“You’ve been alone all these five years?”
Li An’an was stunned. “There’s also a very good friend who takes good care of me. Because of his encouragement, I’m able to journey on with determination!”
Li An’an thought of Fu Yiheng. She did not want to erase his existence. He had been protecting her for the past five years.
Chu Yichen thought that the person she was talking about was a woman, and did not ask further. “How are you going to thank me for saving you?”
Li An’an was on guard. A man like Chu Yichen didn’t lack anything. “I have nothing to give you!”
Chu Yichen’s beautiful fingers slid down from her face to her neck and finally stopped at her heart. “You do. I want this!”
Li Anxin’s heart skipped a beat. She looked into Chu Yichen’s eyes helplessly. His deep and beautiful eyes reflected seriousness, persistence, and determination!
She had never felt so flustered in all her life!
