An’an’s face was covered in tears, she covered her mouth with her hands so that she wouldn’t make any sound.

Her heart was aching so much seeing him in such a state.

She wanted to help him with his pain, but there was nothing she could do.

The only thing she could do was watch him suffer without having any idea of how to help.

“Hello, Miss An’an, I’m Li Si. An Xi and I are from the same village as Yan Zi,” said Li Si.

An’an sniffled and wiped away the tears on her face. She looked at Li Si and replied respectfully, “Hello.”

Li Si looked in Lu Yan’s direction. “Miss An’an, has Yan Zi ever told you about his childhood?”

His childhood?

Lu Yan was adopted by Lu Jinwen from the beggar’s den when he was in his teens. She never knew anything about his past and Lu Yan never mentioned anything about it to her.

An’an shook her head. “No.”

“Many things have happened to Yan Zi but since he has never told you about them, I’m not in any position to divulge his matters. But I can tell you something about him.

“There’s no such things as fairytales on this earth. Yan Zi wasn’t some illegitimate child from a wealthy family, and he doesn’t have any kind of prestigious identity like one of those young masters. He is just an ordinary child who grew up in a village.

“Yan Zi’s father had passed away when he was only nine years old. His father was a thief and murderer, he had robbed someone and a soldier had witnessed him committing the act. And so, his father killed that soldier and was subsequently caught and sent to jail. He had only served a few months of his sentence before he passed away in jail. Yan Zi didn’t even have the chance to see his father for the last time.

“Yan Zi’s mother was just an ordinary housewife who was illiterate and she could only earn some money by helping others with some needlework. When the news of Yan Zi’s father’s passing was spread to the village, Yan Zi’s mother instantly became a widow. The village wasn’t as innocent as we all thought it would be, it’s just that we can’t see the hidden evils of it.

“Miss An’an, Yan Zi and you are from vastly different worlds. If the two of you really get together, you’re going to be tired and for him, even more so. He probably won’t be able to give you whatever your heart desires and you’re not going to be able to understand what he is going through. And so, I hope that you’ll leave him.”

An’an understood his words, he was trying to encourage them to breakup.

She used to be able to just ignore all of those people encouraging them to breakup, but Li Si was different. He was Lu Yan’s best friend. He had known Lu Yan since he was a child.

An’an smiled. “Li Si, how do you know what kind of world I live in and how do you even know what my heart desires?”

Li Si froze.

“My brother is Gu Mohan and it is only because of him that I can enter the socialite circle in the Capital. There are many wealthy heirs chasing after me and I have many different options available.

“But you probably don’t know this. I’m an illegitimate child. My mother only conceived me after getting drunk and having an affair with someone else. You probably don’t know this either, but I was born with leukemia and I was given away to human peddlers when I was six years old, by my mother’s husband. You probably don’t know that when Lu Yan kicked open the door to save me, I wasn’t even wearing any clothes and those peddlers were hitting me with a whip...”

Li Si’s gaze softened, and he looked at An’an in a daze.

An’an didn’t look in Li Si’s eyes anymore, she turned her head and looked in Lu Yan’s direction and muttered, “I’m not who you think I am, I am not someone in the ‘higher class’. You may not understand this, but we belong in the same world. No one knows that only he can provide what my heart desires.”

Li Si looked at her, he knew that he had clearly failed in trying to break them up. She hadn’t agreed to leaving Lu Yan and he could see the determination in her set jaw and clear eyes.

Although Li Si felt bad for her as he heard her parentage and past, his intentions remained unchanged. He still felt that Lu Yan and An’an weren’t compatible.

That was because, An’an still didn’t know Lu Yan’s real identity.

Li Si wasn’t trying to get An’an to pity Lu Yan by telling her about Lu Yan’s past. Lu Yan didn’t need anyone’s pity. The only thing Lu Yan deserved was everyone’s respect.

He was just like an eagle that should be free to fly around, never to be burdened by anyone. He should never have any weaknesses.

But now, a girl named An’an had become his weakness.

And she was going to cost him his life.

Lu Yan was already heavily burdened. This girl should never cause him to have even more burdens.
