Lu Zhanbei didn’t bother looking back . His exit was fast and urgent, and there was no way that Lin Wanwan could catch up with him .
He must have been mad .
When she got to the study room, the door was already locked .
Lin Wanwan knocked on the door . “Lu Zhanbei, open the door!”
“…” There was no response .
Lin Wanwan kept on knocking .
Finally, she ran out of patience and kicked the door wide open .
The lights were off .
Lu Zhanbei leaned against the sofa, and his eyes stared into the ceiling . Under the moonlight, she could see no expression on his face . However, his eyes carried too many emotions: doubt, confusion, mockery, insanity… and a hint of weakness .
When a man that strong showed a sign of weakness, it was harrowing to watch .
Lin Wanwan swallowed the joke that she wanted to tell as the atmosphere got serious .
“Lu Zhanbei…” Lin Wanwan made her way into his arms .
Lu Zhanbei didn’t resist, nor did he respond .
Feeling his heartbeat, Lin Wanwan put away her emotions and locked fingers with the man .
In the end, she put their hands at her heart .
“You are the only one I love, from the beginning to the end . ”
Lu Zhanbei finally looked at her but looked away quickly .
“Fine, I’ll tell you the truth . ”
Lin Wanwan’s loosened her shoulders and decided to hesitate no longer .
“In fact, Jin Yuan was my… was Lin Xiao fiancé . ”
Lu Zhanbei’s hand clenched at her waist, and Lin Wanwan yelled in pain . “Ouch! Don’t get mad and listen to me!”
Lu Zhanbei loosened his grip and held down the anger in his heart . “Continue . ”
Lin Wanwan fidgeted with a button on Lu Zhanbei’s shirt as she organized her language . “Since you’ve loved me for a long time, you should know that I was an orphan . ”
“Yes . ”
Lin Wanwan was sent to the orphanage at the age of five . He knew the information about her after she was five, but not before that .
“It’s been too long, and my memories are blurry . I recall that that family of mine moved here from M Country . Although the family was wealthy, it didn’t have enough connections to stand its ground . My family wanted to raise the status of the Lin family, so I was arranged to marry Jin Yuan before I was born . ”
“For as long as I can remember, my family has been brainwashing me that a boy named Jin Yuan would become my husband . After some time, I had accepted the fact that I would marry him despite being so young . ”
Lu Zhanbei grabbed her by the chin, and a forceful and possessive kiss landed on her lips .
Lin Wanwan’s lips were hurt from the small bites, but she didn’t push him away until it became gentle .
“Do you want me to continue?”
“Go on . ”
Lin Wanwan seemed to recall something as her eyes turned cold .
“My face was disfigured at five . ” She had lost the interest to go into the details .
Lu Zhanbei froze for a moment before nodding .
Lin Wanwan scorned, “In a competitive family, the only use for a daughter is to build connections through marriages . Once I was disfigured, there was no use for me, was there?”
Lu Zhanbei put a hand on her cheek . “I’m glad that you were abandoned . ”
“Eh?”
“No pain, no gain . ”
If she had stayed with the Lin family, he wouldn’t have met her . On the other hand, she would have married another man .
