Lin Yan stared at the woman in front of him, she was rushing towards him like he was the sole reason for her happiness, it was funny how she was once the very thing that terrified him yet now he was standing in front of her watching her get closer and closer to him. Turns out that when they said that love made someone stronger than they were, they were right .. he couldn't stand up against this woman for himself but when she tried to hurt his wife, snatched her away from him - he could calmly look at her without an ounce of fear.. and in all honesty, was there any reason for him to be sacred of a crazy woman? He calmly watched her come close and stayed where he was not moving a step towards her.
Luo Xin saw that Lin Yan wasn't coming towards her, so she didn't even think about it before moving towards him on her - the momo behind her saw this and rushed to stop her. She was worried that this might be a trap but just as she moved, someone clamped their hand on her mouth. Startled, the momo looked back and was immediately terrified. The man behind her was smiling at her so sweetly if not for the sharp pain in her throat she would have thought that he was here to eat sweets and have tea with her, Lin Chen smiled as he softly whispered "Granny, did you hurt my wife ?" His voice was full of warmth, it was like a summer breeze gushing through the fields but for some reason, the momo felt a shiver dance up her spine, as she shook her head crazily.
She was afraid that if she said a single thing wrong then the young man would snap her neck in a second without even changing his expression! The momo stayed still as Lin Chen leered over with a gentle expression " is that so? Then you are lucky I don't hit old grannies but-" before the momo could even heave a sigh of relief, Lin Chen interrupted her train of thoughts, the sigh of relief got held in the middle of her throat as she looked at Lin Chen with a gaze that screamed ' you traitor! You liar!'. Lin Chen smiled at her glare and softly chuckled ' Don't look at me like that Granny, I am not someone who breaks his word, what I wanted to say was that I don't hurt old ladies, it hurts my heart but I do knock them out - so goodnight " with a clear and swift chop he stuck the momo's neck who fainted right then and there though her expression was still filled with disbelief.
" You sure take y..your time," said Lin Yu as he strode towards Lin Chen dragging a servant behind him. Lin Chen didn't know what Lin Yu did but the servant's expression was full of terror " What did you say to him?"
" Nothing I just..just said his sister was fairly beautiful, it was just a guess". Explained Lin Yu with a frown " I t..told him that if touched even a single strand of Su Wan , I will send his sister to a b..brothel , I was bluffing who would have thought that he really got a beautiful sister, he started apologizing s..so much that he annoyed me , so I knocked him out in the m..middle of his apology "
" You could have just knocked him out, you know ?" said Lin Chen innocently
" I was i..indeed pissed a little, " said Lin Yu looking at his brother with an annoyed expression " and w..why are you giving me sermons? Yours doesn't look any better"
Lin Chen shrugged " I was upset too you know, Eldest brother took Wan Wan away, he didn't even let me see her. I had to take it out on someone"
Lin Yu rolled his eyes and then turned to look at Luo Xin who was running towards Lin Yan " P..pay attention, its starting"
The amused expression on Lin Chen's face faded as he turned to look at Luo Xin and Lin Yan " what was the plan anyway?"
" Its -"

" Ah, Nanli! You are here! I have been waiting for you for so long, those idiots said that you will never return but see aren't you here ?" Luo Xin didn't even notice that her guards have been silently taken care of, her eyes were locked on Lin Yan, never once did she look away. The guard who was standing on the roof, clenched the dagger in his hands .. he couldn't kill her ..how could he kill her ..? That pitiful woman who has been lost for years? At least he should let her have this final moment of her happiness before - he closed his eyes and turned around, this time it will be the end.
" Nanli, I - I was a good girl wasn't I? I was always here for you, Nanli-"
" Luo Xin " Lin Yan interrupted her, a gentle smile blossoming on his face, he stepped forward to get close to Luo Xin. Luo Xin's eyes heart rose but then her heart twinged with annoyance because her Nanli, the one who looked at her with so much love was now looking at her with nothing but disgust and antipathy " Nanli why are you looking at me like that ?"
Lin Yan raised his head and looked at Luo Xin with a grin that was full of mocking " why? Because you are disgusting, you are so disgusting that you make me sick! Do you really think that just because you kidnapped Wan Wan, I will willingly come to you? Are you a fool? Even if you are crazy at least take a look around you, how many people are you going to make miserable just because you are miserable? I wanted to kill you, do you know that Luo Xin? I wished you died every second of my life but now that I look at you … I realized that if I kill you, wouldn't it be like giving you liberation? With how crazy you are, I am certain that by dying in my hands you will take it as some sort of blessing, dying in the hand of your Nanli, or his replacement if I were to use the correct term but " he paused then gave Luo Xin a deprecating smile " but you don't deserve that either what you deserve is nothing but agony -the same agony you made me suffer, made Zimo suffer! So open your eyes and look I am not your fucking Nanli! He is dead! Do you hear me? He has been dead for more than ten years! Open your eyes and look you pitiful woman who lost everything "
