Chapter 123#

Yan Heqing’s eyelashes fluttered.

“Not even your little niece?”

Knowing Lu Lin didn’t mean that, he was teasing Lu Lin, but Lu Lin didn’t take the bait. His thumb pressed lightly behind Yan Heqing’s ear. “Agree quickly.”

Yan Heqing looked at him, his eyes suddenly bright. He raised his hand to encircle Lu Lin’s neck, lifted his head slightly to Lu Lin’s ear, his voice soft but clear, “I have always been doing this.”

As soon as Yan Heqing said these words, Lu Lin’s throat tightened painfully. He narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly released Yan Heqing, opened the door, and got out of the car.

Just as Yan Heqing was about to ask where he was going, Lu Lin closed the door, walked a few steps into the driver’s seat, unbuttoned two shirt buttons with one hand, and turned up the air conditioning.

“We’ll eat out today.” Lu Lin started the car.

He probably had arrangements. This time he didn’t ask Yan Heqing and set off directly.

Yan Heqing propped himself up. Having been kissed by Lu Lin for a while, his shirt was a bit messy. He tidied his clothes, leaned forward, opened the armrest box, and took out a pack of dried pineapple.

He tore it open and took out a piece for Lu Lin first. “It’s 3 o’clock now.”

Too late for lunch, too early for dinner.

Lu Lin’s lips were about to touch the dried pineapple, but he stopped and said first, “Let’s go to the spa first.”

Only then did he eat the dried pineapple.

The spa shop was not far from the mall, just one traffic light away.

It was Yan Heqing’s first time doing a spa. After bathing and drinking a cup of flower tea, he came out wearing special massage clothes. Lu Lin was already getting a massage.

The room was dimly lit, filled with a faint scent of lavender. A transparent gauze curtain separated the two beds.

Lu Lin’s eyes were slightly closed, seemingly asleep.

Yan Heqing walked lightly to the empty bed, lay down according to the technician’s instructions. The technician took off his shirt, applied essential oil, and started the massage.

The strength was appropriate, but Yan Heqing frowned in pain, unconsciously letting out a soft cry of pain.

“You have dampness in your body. It’s normal to hurt at the beginning. If it still hurts later, stop pressing.” Before the technician could explain, a voice came from the side.

Yan Heqing turned his head. Through the half-covered white gauze, Lu Lin wasn’t asleep at all, looking at him with smiling eyes.

Unknown how long he had been watching.

They had done more intimate things, but Yan Heqing’s ears still turned red quickly. “En.” He turned his head to stare ahead. The pain on his back lessened a lot. After a while, he turned his head gently again.

And crashed into Lu Lin’s eyes.

This time Yan Heqing didn’t avoid it anymore, quietly looking at Lu Lin, gradually not feeling the pain anymore.

After the massage, the two technicians left the room, closed the door, and played soothing music for them to rest.

Only he and Lu Lin were left. Yan Heqing closed his eyes with peace of mind, letting sleepiness strike, and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, the music in the room had stopped, and outside the window was the sound of pattering rain. Before his vision cleared, he was picked up from behind by a familiar aura.

“How do you feel?” Lu Lin carried him into the changing room.

He put him down only when they reached the stool.

Yan Heqing moved a bit after landing. Except for a slight pain in his shoulder blades, other places were particularly soft.

He nodded. “Much more comfortable.”

Only then did Lu Lin tell him the newly received news. “Yan Shengbing bought a second-hand car.”

Two hours ago, Yan Shengbing looked up tremblingly, first seeing the dazzling array of wine bottles on the coffee table. He licked his lips a few times.

Cheng Jian held a wine glass and chuckled low. “Pour Mr. Yan a glass.”

Zhao Weifang immediately poured a glass of wine for Yan Shengbing, smiling kindly. “Mr. Yan, please.”

Yan Shengbing knew it was good wine just by smelling it. He swallowed his saliva, still somewhat wary, and didn’t take it. “I don’t know you.”

Just as Zhao Weifang was about to speak, Cheng Jian threw a card in front of Yan Shengbing, took a sip of wine, and said, “There are 5 million in the card.”

Yan Shengbing was like a switch turned on, his eyes never leaving the bank card. “You, you are…”

“I checked. You are so down and out, chased by loan sharks every day, all thanks to Lu Muchi.” When Cheng Jian mentioned Lu Muchi, he gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke.

Yan Shengbing became unusually vigilant. “I don’t understand what you mean.”

Having suffered losses several times, he was terrified of Lu Muchi.

“I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you!” Cheng Jian threw the wine glass and stood up abruptly. “You go mess with Lu Muchi, and this 5 million is yours.”

Yan Shengbing was so scared that he sat on the ground, waving his hands repeatedly. “Dare not, dare not. Even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare to hurt Young Master Lu…”

“You have to dare even if you don’t!” Cheng Jian glared.

Zhao Weifang quickly smoothed things over. He squatted down to persuade Yan Shengbing. “Mr. Yan, you can never pay off those usury loans in this life. Why not take a gamble? This is 5 million.”

Yan Shengbing looked at the bank card again, wanting it but afraid. Fine cold sweat broke out on his temples. “I’m just a commoner, I don’t know anything…”

“You know how to drive, right?” Zhao Weifang interrupted him.

Yan Shengbing’s pupils dilated. Zhao Weifang laughed a few times. “Drunk driving is only three years. Besides, with our Young Master Cheng, three years become one year, one year becomes probation. Isn’t it worth exchanging for 5 million?”

This was the plan discussed by Cheng Jian and Zhao Weifang.

For a useless person like Yan Shengbing, he couldn’t get close to Lu Muchi at all. Even if he got close by luck, Lu Muchi could deal with him without bodyguards.

The only way was to create a car accident.

And Yan Shengbing was a drunkard. Drunk driving was too normal.

However, three years becoming one year, one year becoming probation, was just Zhao Weifang fooling Yan Shengbing. With the Lu family’s power, if Yan Shengbing hurt Lu Muchi, he shouldn’t think about having a good time.

But Zhao Weifang naturally wouldn’t remind Yan Shengbing of this point.

Cheng Jian just wanted Lu Muchi and Yan Heqing to break up.

Isn’t Lu Muchi a great lover? Didn’t he put him to death for a worthless plaything? He wanted to see how Lu Muchi could still be a great lover after being killed by Yan Heqing’s relative.

Cheng Jian’s eyes were full of deep-seated hatred.

Yan Shengbing was moved and confirmed repeatedly, “Will I really be okay?”

Zhao Weifang patted his chest to guarantee. “At most one year in jail. Besides, your son is no different from a fool now, and you are looked down upon by everyone. This is all Lu Muchi’s evil deeds. Don’t you want to vent your anger?”

He picked up the bank card again and handed it to Yan Shengbing. “Just nod your head, and the 5 million is yours.”

Yan Shengbing kept swallowing saliva, his hand slowly reaching for the bank card, then suddenly snatched the bank card and held it tightly in his palm.

Zhao Weifang and Cheng Jian looked at each other and smiled silently.

…

Yan Heqing wasn’t sure if the car accident would happen. Now hearing that Yan Shengbing went to buy a car, he could basically confirm it.

He calmed his mind, rubbed his shoulder, and said, “Hungry. Couldn’t eat the congee hot pot last time. Can we go eat congee hot pot later?”

Lu Lin knew he was changing the subject. Following his words, he stroked his hair. “You decide.”

*

The next morning, when Lu Lin got up, he saw Yan Heqing busy in the living room.

They returned to the city center apartment last night.

After a night of rain, the air this morning was incredibly fresh. The apartment was located at the highest point, unobstructed on all sides, with lighting on three sides. The morning light shone into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Yan Heqing, in a white shirt and light-colored jeans, sat cross-legged on the carpet wrapping gifts.

Yan Heqing didn’t let the shop wrap them. He chose the wrapping paper and ribbons himself.

According to the preferences of several little girls, he also tied the ribbons into different shapes.

Some were bows, some were rose knots.

He was focused on his work and didn’t notice Lu Lin squatting beside him.

“Like children so much?” Lu Lin looked at him.

In the orphanage, Yan Heqing got along very well with the children.

If Yan Heqing liked it, he could increase interactions with relatives who had children.

Yan Heqing tied the last rose knot. “They are your nieces.”

At this time, Lu Lin received a call.

It was Lu Ruchan.

Because of Lu Muchi’s matter, Lu Changcheng rushed to her villa last night and lost his temper for a while.

However, Lu Ruchan didn’t call for this matter.

She knew Lu Lin’s proposal was successful. With Lu Lin’s character, he would definitely bring Yan Heqing to the Lu family dinner today. She called specifically to remind him.

“Your dad has a big temper, take good care of Little Heqing.”

Lu Lin looked at Yan Heqing who was packing up the gifts, his features incredibly gentle. “I know.”

“Also, Little Heqing is still young. He will be somewhat uncomfortable meeting relatives for the first time. You guys leave after eating. Anyway, there will be time to get along in the future.”

“I know.”

Lu Ruchan instructed for a while longer before smiling and saying, “Little Heqing is beside you, right? Let me talk to him for a while.”

Lu Lin gave the phone to Yan Heqing. “Mom wants to talk to you.”

He went to the kitchen to make breakfast himself.

Hearing “Mom”, Yan Heqing was stunned for a second or two. Holding the phone tightly, he didn’t know how to address her.

Lu Ruchan also heard that “Mom” and was very satisfied with Lu Lin’s efficiency. However, young people were thin-skinned and couldn’t say it for a while. She could understand. She smiled lovingly, “No rush. Change it after I give you the red envelope for changing the address next time we meet.”

Lu Ruchan was so considerate of him, Yan Heqing’s eyes became gentle.

“Mom, good morning.”

The words stuck in his throat came out naturally.

Lu Ruchan immediately said, “Good, good, good morning to our Heqing too.”

This call lasted until Lu Lin finished making breakfast before Lu Ruchan was willing to hang up.

After breakfast, the two didn’t go out, doing their own things at home. In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Yan Heqing wore a formal suit for the first time.

It was the new clothes bought last week, a classic double-breasted black suit, paired with a white shirt and a pure black tie.

Yan Heqing changed into the suit and came out. Lu Lin was fastening his cufflinks. His suit was the same style and color as Yan Heqing’s, only the cufflink colors were different.

Lu Lin’s were square black gems, and Yan Heqing’s were chrysoberyl cat’s eyes.

Lu Lin’s gaze swept over Yan Heqing. He let go and went into the cloakroom. When he came out again, he had a pair of silver-rimmed glasses in his hand.

He walked up to Yan Heqing and put the glasses on him.

Yan Heqing put them on and realized they were plain glass. He was somewhat puzzled. “Why wear glasses?”

Lu Lin’s brow was still slightly furrowed.

The eyes were covered, but wearing glasses was equally eye-catching.

He rubbed the top of Yan Heqing’s head vigorously twice. “Nothing, let’s go.”

Yan Heqing only took it as decoration and didn’t think more about it, following Lu Lin to set off.

At the same time, Lin Fengxian was sweating profusely, staring at the surveillance to find Lin Fengzhi’s figure.

Lin Fengzhi stayed in the treehouse and refused to come out, nor did he accept eye treatment anymore, just kept calling Mother Lin.

However, Mother Lin’s domestic phone was stopped.

Lin Fengxian had to take time every day to go to the treehouse to see Lin Fengzhi. When he came back from work this afternoon and went to the treehouse, Lin Fengzhi had disappeared.

Lin Fengxian had been exhausted by Lin Fengzhi recently. He really didn’t want to care about Lin Fengzhi anymore, but thinking that his vision was declining rapidly now and running around could easily cause accidents, he decided to look for him one more time.

He first went to the property management to check the community surveillance.

Looking until his head was about to explode, he finally found Lin Fengzhi’s figure.

Lin Fengzhi left the community by himself at 3:31.

Lin Fengxian first contacted Gu Xingye. Hearing that Lin Fengzhi was missing again, Gu Xingye sighed. “He didn’t contact me. Maybe you can try contacting Lu Muchi.”

Only then did Lin Fengxian remember that Lin Fengzhi had a pretty good relationship with Lu Muchi.

Asking around for Lu Muchi’s number, as soon as it connected and he said “Hello Mr. Lu, I am Lin Feng—”

Lu Muchi hung up directly.

He impatiently loosened his tie. “Where exactly are we going?”

Today Lu Han picked him up from the detention center, didn’t say where they were going, just pulled him into the car and left.

Lu Han breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Muchi didn’t remember there was a family dinner today.

Lu Changcheng loved face the most. Unable to stop Lu Lin from bringing a man to the family dinner today, he wanted to attend even more gloriously.

Plus, rumors were spreading within the family recently that Lu Muchi had entered the detention center. Lu Changcheng ordered that Lu Muchi must appear. Want to see his jokes? No way!

Lu Han didn’t answer directly. “You’ll know when we arrive.”

Lu Muchi was extremely annoyed. His mind was full of Yan Heqing, and his chest was tight. As soon as the car stopped, he opened the door and got out for some air.

At this time, a Maybach stopped behind.

Lu Muchi’s heart trembled. He stiffened his neck and turned his head.

The door opened, and Lu Lin got out first, going around to the other side to open the door.

Realizing something, Lu Muchi wanted to run away, but his feet were nailed to the ground, completely out of his control. He could only stand motionless, witnessing Yan Heqing getting out.

Lu Han also saw Lu Lin and Yan Heqing beside him.

The two wore the same style of suits, their relationship self-evident. Lu Han was disdainful in his heart, but still smiled and stepped forward. “Ah Lin, he is your—”

Lu Han found him a bit familiar. He looked at Yan Heqing carefully. “Have we met somewhere? You…”

Yan Heqing was neither humble nor arrogant. “Hello, Yan Heqing.”

Lu Han’s pupils instantly trembled. He immediately looked back at Lu Muchi.

Lu Muchi clenched his hands to leave, but Lu Lin spoke. “Come here.”

Lu Muchi’s fingers were almost crushed. After two seconds of silence, he walked towards Lu Lin and Yan Heqing with heavy steps.

He lowered his head and stared at the ground. “Uncle.”

Lu Lin didn’t reply, his gaze only falling on Lu Muchi. Lu Muchi’s fingers cracked, and all the muscles on his face were contracting.

After a long time, he squeezed out from between his teeth.

“Uncle Yan.”
