After a long time, she was panting heavily. Lu An pressed his forehead against hers and used his lips to take in her breath. His voice was low and hoarse, “Why are you panting?”
Jin Nian could not be bothered with him. Lu An asked, “Why is your physique still so bad?”
“My physique isn’t bad. It’s not as serious as you said.”
“How is it okay? When we were in school, you could not even run three laps. Now that you’ve grown up and no one is urging you, is that why you don’t exercise anymore?”
“Who said that!”
As she spoke, the phone that Lu An had thrown on the carpet started to ring again. It was Xie He. Lu An completely ignored her, and Jin Nian did not try to persuade him anymore.
Amidst the repeated ringtones Lu An said, “You don’t have to be afraid of her. You’re marrying me, not her. If she makes you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to see her.”
Jin Nian had never thought about this problem. Now that she thought about it, she was still a little scared. If Xie He knew that they had gotten their marriage certificate without saying anything, would Xie He rush to her house to look for Teacher Tan?
Jin Nian even thought of the scene of her and Teacher Tan persuading her with a smile and scolding her in exasperation.
Xie He loved Lu An the most. This was a fact that Lu An had long known.
During the divorce, Xie He relied on the fact that her husband still could not forget her. She had tried her best to fight for Lu An’s custody so that she could use Lu An to remotely control the Lu family. Because Lu An was by her side, Xie He was able to get a steady stream of child support fees from the Lu family’s gold mine, and the amount was huge.
Hong Kong seemed to be a major city that was connected to the world, but at its roots, it was just a small place that emphasized the superiority of men over women. The Lu family was such a big family, so they naturally treated Lu An like the apple of their eyes. The elders still had the remnants of feudalism in their bones.
Fortunately, Xie He had completed the task of carrying on the family line early on and was recognized in the genealogy. As the saying went, a mother’s status depended on her son. If she had not given birth to Lu An, Xie He would not have had much status in the huge family.
The divorce was not her fault. The private detective she hired found out that her husband had a young and beautiful college student outside. Men were always like this, wanting to have multiple flags outside while the flag at home stayed put. Xie He was not surprised, but she could not accept it either. She was very straightforward in handling relationships. If she did not like him, then goodbye. If she liked him, then they would be together vigorously.
Lu An was the son she had carried for ten months. Of course, she loved Lu An, but compared to him, she loved herself the most.
When Lu An needed Xie He the most, she was busy preparing for her career. She was definitely not a woman who relied on men to make a living. She was not short of money and was busy looking for opportunities to start a business. Therefore, Lu An often did not see Xie He. The ones who interacted with him the most were the servants and his grandmother. During the winter and summer holidays, Xie He would also send him back to Hong Kong to build a relationship with his grandparents.
At the beginning of the 21st century, starting a business depended on who was bolder, her methods and style were far more decisive than a man. She also knew what it meant to take advantage of the situation and step on a man’s shoulders to get to the top. But compared to men, women in high positions have to bear more rumors.
Now, Xie He’s assets had become a mystery. All these years, she had no other children other than Lu An. Therefore, everything she had worked hard for would be given to her son in the future. All these years, Xie He had always adopted a laissez-faire policy towards Lu An. When she thought back to the only mistake she had made and the one that she regretted the most was interfering with his relationship with Jin Nian.
When she noticed the friendship between Lu An and Jin Nian, she had lost her mind. Without any explanation, she looked for Jin Nian, hoping that she would leave Lu An’s side on her own accord. She was also a woman, so she knew the importance of a matching family background. She also felt that Jin Nian’s family background was ordinary and she was not worthy of her only son.
It was not until she had eaten the bitter fruit that Xie He realized how wrong she was. The more power one had, the less one cared about the so-called class status. Now, no matter how much wealth and power she had, she could not buy the pure and true feelings she had back then.
Therefore, in the past few years, Xie He had always tried her best to make it up to Lu An. She hoped that he could live as he pleased and become as energetic as when he was studying with Jin Nian in high school. However, Lu An did not need these expired supplements.
Xie He was not the only one who regretted what happened back then. Jin Nian also regretted it deeply. She thought that it was fine not to study with Lu An, but later on, she realized that she could not get used to university life without Lu An. During the first few days of school, she almost collapsed. Everything around her was unfamiliar to her. Not only were there strange roommates, but there were also seniors who chased after her relentlessly..
