Chapter 435: From The Moment He Left

Lu Yi gently pursed his lips without showing much expression on his face, “Miss Fang, despite whatever relationship we may have had, it’s all in the past now.” It was not possible for someone to say that as long as you met with your partner, then you had to be together or that you should be together. It was not up to others to say whether you were meant for each other, neither was it up to you to say that it felt suitable. Only when you’ve personally experienced it, would you then know that this was what you were looking for all along.

It was just like him and Yan Huan. Lu Yi had always thought that he would marry an average-looking girl like Fang Zhu who was knowledgeable, educated and had a proper family background. But in the end, he married someone he had never thought of, a woman who was beautiful and delicate, worthy of him using a lifetime of love to take care of her.

As for Fang Zhu, he could only apologize to her. The suitability he had once thought of was not liking and neither was it love.

At the same time that Lu Yi’s words hurt Fang Zhu’s dignity, he had also hurt her heart.

She still had words she wanted to say, she was still hoping for something. If you get divorced, you can marry me, I can marry you.

Yet, the words just would not come out. Just as she mustered up enough courage with the thought of holding on and trying her luck, a lady walked toward them from afar. Her figure was remarkably shapely and even though the lady was not very tall but her bodily ratio was very adequately split with a slim waist and long legs. Although she was petite, it was obvious that puberty had done her well where the parts that were supposed to be big were big and the parts that were meant to be slim were definitely slim. Under the dim lighting, even the shadow she cast on the ground was an image of delicate beauty.

So fragile that maybe just a touch would shatter it.

Lu Yi stood up straight and the emotionless face he had been sporting all along turned into an expression of repressed emotions.

“Come here.” Lu Yi extended his hand out to the lady.

As Yan Huan walked over, she passed by where Fang Zhu was standing. The comparison made between the two women was very strong. Between a vase and an old nun, any man, objectively speaking, would not choose the old nun.

Rough-skinned, thick and fleshy, hard to bite into, hard to swallow and bad for digestion.

The corner of her clothes had gently touched Fang Zhu and in this moment, matters that belonged in the past life seemed to detach itself and ended here.

Lu Yi pulled on her arm and his fingers gripped her shoulder.

“You came yourself.”

“Yes.” Yan Huan was very obedient and of course, she was honest as well.

“You didn’t bring anyone with you?” Lu Yi asked again but this time, his voice did not sound right. It sounded deeper and quieter.

“I did.” Yan Huan lowered her head and looked at her fingers.

“Who?”

“The car.”

Lu Yi really felt like strangling this woman. Did she not know that she was a public figure? If something went wrong and her identity was revealed, these students would go wild and would probably eat her alive.

Moreover, the injury on her hand had not fully healed, did she want to make it worse?

“Look, I wasn’t recognized. I disguised myself really well.” Yan Huan pointed to her spectacles. She was actually a very observant and smart woman and also knew when to soften down. To be honest, looking at such a face, even Lu Yi could not bear to scold her. However, he felt as if he had really spoiled Yan Huan to the point where she was too gutsy.

He would have to teach her a lesson once they went back.

“I saw you just now.” Yan Huan put out her hands to play with the buttons on Lu Yi’s clothes.

“Oh?” Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, “You went to listen to my talk?”

“Yeah.” Yan Huan pushed her spectacles up, slightly unfamiliar with it. Why does it keep sliding down?

“How was it?” Lu Yi pulled the cap on her head lower and allowed her to play with his buttons as he watched her slim fingers pull at the buttons with the hand which was still wrapped in bandages to protect the newly healed flesh and also to hide the scars.

“Would you like to hear the truth?” Yan Huan looked up and pulled on Lu Yi’s buttons some more.

“Naturally.” Lu Yi liked honesty.

Honesty was ugly but it was useful.

Lies were sugar-coated but it could lead to death.

“Two words.” Yan Huan put out her hand.

“Oh?” Lu Yi waited for her answer.

Yan Huan smiled and her features softened like moonlight that shone in the night, scattered with a layer of mist.

“You’re already past that age. With me here, don’t you ever think of committing crime, I’ll watch over you properly.” Lu Yi held her hand tightly and squeezed her fingers, “Come on, let’s go home.”

“Okay.” Yan Huan did not speak of the conversation between Lu Yi and Fang Zhu because she had overheard them. It was also because she wanted to leave some dignity for Fang Zhu. After all, if it was not because of her, Lu Yi would have probably walked the same road he walked in his past life and lived a plain yet respectful life with Fang Zhu.

She knew that Fang Zhu was not nice toward Lu Yi.

She stole Lu Yi from Fang Zhu, so she would treat him nicely and take care of him to the very best of her abilities, but she could only give Fang Zhu this moment of dignity.

As Fang Zhu watched the two figures leaving, she trembled involuntarily.

Such a feeling was not a good feeling. It felt like discomfort and also helplessness.

Lu Yi opened the car door to let Yan Huan enter before laying a blanket on her and helping her put on her seatbelt.

As soon as Yan Huan got in the car, she began to feel somewhat drowsy.

“Go on and sleep. I’ll wake you up when we reach.” Lu Yi tucked her hair behind her ears. For the past few days that he had been busy, she did not even get proper sleep. Thus, it was only normal for her to be so tired. All humans were subject to being tired, hurt, or being bitter.

All humans were just normal people and no one could be superhuman.

Yan Huan closed her eyes and she held her two hands together. She could still feel the throbbing pain from the fingers of her right hand but it was still bearable and thus negligible. With a start of the engine, Lu Yi had already left the university with his black Hummer speeding away, leaving only the sighs of the boys that stared at the car as it sped away handsomely. Of course, the stares were also because of the special series of numbers on the car plate that led to certain assumptions.

Assumptions of who drove the car and the background of the person who drove it.

Fang Zhu came out from the side. At this moment in time, her complexion seemed bad and could even be said to be poor that even her hair was falling out. Just like that, the unwillingness and hatred in her heart grew, but what else could she do.

What had originally been hers had now become someone else’s.

And now, she could never take it back. It was as if her life had changed from the moment Yan Huan had appeared and from the moment that man had left.

“Eh, Teacher Fang, are you alright?” A few lecturers who passed by asked her worriedly upon seeing Fang Zhu’s darkened expression.
