In the ward, Youngest Uncle Lu sat on the sofa and talked to Old Lin. “Now you should know the ability of the brat. She can bewitch your grandson to the extent that he cut ties with you.”


  “My grandson doesn’t even come visit me now when I am sick. What is the use of me cooperating with you?”


  “Old Lin, your son is just bewitched by the girl. The one you should deal with should be the demon girl of the Lu family. She is now very eager to get your approval. If you show her some kindness, she will definitely be fooled.”


  “Don’t you just want her to be unable to attend the inauguration conference?” Old Lin snorted. “What benefit can I get from this?”


  “If Lu Qianqian loses the position as the chairman and the support of the shareholders because of the Lin family, don’t you think she will grow apart from Lin Mu’an?”


  “Then my grandson will only hate me even more.” Old Lin was not stupid. He knew he should not make a deal with him too easily. “Mr. Lu, this deal gives me no benefit at all.”


  “You just have to make her unable to attend the inauguration conference. And I will make sure she disappears from Jianchuan for good. Am I not sincere enough?”


  Old Lin thought for a moment and nodded in the end. “I shall try once.”


  Outside, Lin Mu’an and the butler heard every word of their conversation. But, Lin Mu’an forbade the butler from making a sound.

  Lin Mu’an did not barge into his ward and disturb them. He sneered and left the hospital.

  The butler looked even more helpless. Now that Lin Mu’an had heard this dirty scheme himself, would he be willing to return to the Lin family again? It was impossible.

  However, the butler did not tell Old Lin that Lin Mu’an was behind the door just now.

  That night, the whole of Jianchuan was showered by rain. It was cold and dark.

  Lin Mu’an made use of the short leave the butler applied for him and went to the hotel. He had found the room Lu Qianqian and her mother were staying in.

  When Lu Qianqian saw Lin Mu’an appearing at the door, she was surprised. “You……”


  But Lin Mu’an grabbed Lu Qianqian’s hands and shut the door. Then, he pinned her against the wall and kissed her wildly.

  Lu Qianqian felt the coldness on his body and shivered. Only then, Lin Mu’an realized that he had walked through the rain to come here. He quickly took off his coat and his black jumper.

  “Mu’an……”


  Lin Mu’an did not say anything. Their noses touched. In the darkness, they could feel each other’s breaths. Then, Lin Mu’an asked, “Where is your mother?”


  “She’s next door.”


  “Good.” Having said that, Lin Mu’an lifted Lu Qianqian to the big bed.

  Lu Qianqian wanted to ask, but Lin Mu’an did not plan to let go of her. So, she could not speak anymore. Because now, she could only feel the heat beneath Lin Mu’an’s shirt. He was burning hot.

  They caressed each other. The touch was full of passion and madness.

  It was until they were naked that Lin Mu’an regained his senses. He covered himself and Lu Qianqian with the blanket. “Qianqian, I do not plan to stop tonight.”


  “I have no regrets.” Lu Qianqian replied in just four words.

  Lin Mu’an did not wait anymore and broke through the last barrier between them. Since then, their bodies and souls were united as one.

  After the fierce intercourse, Lu Qianqian lay on Lin Mu’an’s chest. She was gasping for air. “What happened? I did not ask, but can you tell me now?”


  Lin Mu’an caressed Lu Qianqian smooth back and said in a deep voice, “I went to Grandpa’s ward just now and I heard his conversation with your uncle. He is still scheming even though he is sick.”


  “Have you met?”


  Lin Mu’an shook his head. “I don’t have the slightest expectation for the Lin family now, so as my fiancée, you don’t need to have it either.”


  “What did you just say?” Lu Qianqian was a little uncertain when she heard him calling her as his fiancée. She raised her head and asked.

  “I said, you are my fiancée.”


  “When did you propose to me?”


  “Was it not intense enough just now?” Lin Mu’an got up and took out a ring from the pocket of his shirt. It was a ring he had made himself. There were wings on the ring. He put it on Lu Qianqian’s finger. “This diamond is from the cufflinks my grandmother gave me when I was eighteen. I modified it and fashioned it into this ring, just to propose to you.”


  “I want you to have a man in the Lu family.”


  Lu Qianqian could see the shimmering diamond under the faint lights. She smiled so happily until she cried. “It’s so beautiful……”


  “So, do you agree to my proposal?”


  “We are hugging each other naked now and I am already wearing a ring. Do you still have to ask me this?” Lu Qianqian held Lin Mu’an’s hand and kissed it.

  “Tomorrow, I will ask your mother for your hand in marriage. You know what? I was planning to give you a very romantic proposal. But, I am scared that things might happen. So, I want a definite answer now. Qianqian, no matter what happens, no matter how the world changes, I will always be with you. I will be your strong arm, just like your father.”


  Lu Qianqian plunged into Lin Mu’an’s arms. The fire that was just extinguished seemed to be ignited again……

  Outside the window, it was still raining.

  When the butler saw Old Lin was still awake, he went in to talk with him.

  “Master, must you treat Young Master this way?”


  Old Lin took off the reading glasses from the bridge of his nose and closed his tired eyes. “You see. I am sick and he doesn’t even come to see me.”


  “He did,” replied the butler.

  Old Lin looked at him in surprise, to the extent that he doubted his words.

  “Just when you were talking with Mr. Lu, he came and overheard your conversation. And he left,” explained the butler. “He did not let me stop you. When he left, his face showed great despair. It was the first time I saw him like this.”


  “Why don’t you tell me?”


  “If you planned to use dirty tricks to make Young Master come home, he will know eventually. Besides, it is impossible for the young lady of the Lu family to control Young Master’s mind. You should not let the Lu family take advantage of you and distance yourself from Young Master even more.”


  Old Lin closed his eyes after hearing this. He kept silent for a long time.

  “What do you think of Mu’an’s changes these few months?”


  “Young Master looks like a different person now. He has become a deep person, unlike his old playful self. He seems to be very serious with all of his decisions. And he seems to despise the Lin family even more now.”


  “That’s because he has Sheng Xiao to back him up now!” Old Lin shouted in disgust. “I can accept him to become a police officer, but I can never accept him to be with Lu Qianqian.”
