“Anning, you were forced to break up with Du Xiaoran two years ago because of how ruthless Laurent was. She knows what she wants. That’s why she dealt with you regardless of the consequences. What she got in the end was having Du Xiaoran for two years.”
Rong Yan continued unhurriedly, “When you appeared again in England, after 2 years, she began to worry that Du Xiaoran would be taken away by you, so she was fierce enough to start the war and abduct you. Had you not been rescued, I would be visiting you at your grave next year.”
Luo Anning’s body stiffened as he hugged her and spoke into her ear, making her feel overwhelmed with a complicated feeling.
He actually knows so much about me and Du Xiaoran?
Rong Yan patted her shoulder and gestured for her to relax. “Actually, in my opinion, you and Du Xiaoran ended up in such a state today, mainly because of Laurent. And, you two are far more gentler than she is.”
Luo Anning remained silent for a long while and instead laid on his chest to close her eyes, pretending to be asleep. No one knew what she was thinking about but it did not matter to Rong Yan anyway.
Du Xiaoran was just part of her past and Rong Yan is the one who has all of her now.
…
After more than ten hours of flying, they touched down in S City but they did not return to the mansion immediately.
Rong Yan found two pairs of shades somewhere and put them on for himself and Luo Anning. He then held onto her hand and walked her through the VIP passageway of the airport.
Rong Yan did not take her back to Old Mr. Rong’s place or Luxury Mansion. Instead, he took her to the apartment where he had been residing for the past two years.
The car pulled over in front of the apartment and Rong Yan took the lead by alighting from the car. Rong Yan extended his clean and long arm into the car.
After a moment of hesitation, she placed her hand in his and he tightened his grip to pull her out of the car. Luo Anning pursed her lips upon sight of the luxurious, private apartment and asked in bewilderment, “Didn’t you say that we’re going home? Why did you bring me here?”
Rong Yan pulled her away, entered the elevator, pressed the button for the 36th floor, and looked at her puffed cheeks which made him guffaw. He pinched her face and teased, “In order to spice things up, I’m taking you here for some alone time.”
Luo Anning rolled her eyes at him. Although she did not believe him, she did not wish to pursue the matter. Anyway, she would have a roof over her head.
She usually went with the flow anyway.
The elevator stopped on the 36th floor and Rong Yan led her to the apartment. After scanning his fingerprint, the door was unlocked and opened with a click.
“Come in, why are you still standing there like a statue?” Rong Yan chuckled and went ahead to enter while Luo Anning pouted and followed after him.
She was greeted with the sight of a monochrome-themed design that suited a bachelor’s style. The interior was spick and span, and the French window offered a panoramic view of the city’s skyline and the bright neon lights.
Luo Anning looked around, only to discover that all the furniture was spotless and there was no hair on the ground. Sure enough, Rong Yan’s a clean freak..
Rong Yan unbuttoned his shirt and walked to the bedroom while saying, “There is food in the refrigerator. You can cook.”
“What are you going to do then?” Luo Anning asked.
Hearing her unpleasant tone, Rong Yan stopped and looked at her with a wicked smile. “I’m going to take a bath, is there a problem? Or, do you want to shower with me?”
Luo Anning picked up the pillow and threw it at him. “No, you lecher!”
