Chapter 999: Her Happiness

Lu Yan promptly looked at Li Si. “Is this your first day knowing the General?”

Li Si immediately kept quiet because he could see displeasure in Lu Yan’s eyes.

Yes, they had already known the General for almost thirty years. Everyone was very aware of what kind of person the General was.

Lu Yan pursed his thin lips and said in a deep voice, “Do not mention this topic again, especially in front of An’an, do you understand?”

Li Si nodded his head obediently. “Understood.”

Lu Yan left.

What did Lu Yan mean? Why could he not gossip about the General in front of An’an? What was the relationship between An’an and General? Had Lu Yan found out something?

“Yan Zi, wait for me!”

...

At the entrance of the hospital.

Lu Yan stood waiting outside, stuck both hands into his pockets and bowed his head, looking indolent and leisurely.

At this moment, a delicate figure ran over towards him and shouted, “Ah Yan!”Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Lu Yan looked up to see the girl running towards him. He straightened himself, took his hands out from his pockets and extended his arms towards her for a hug.

An’an leaped and wrapped her legs around his muscular torso.

Lu Yan supported her steadily and slapped her bottom. “How old are you already?”

An’an held his neck tightly and refused to let go. “I don’t care, I want you to carry me home like this!”

Lu Yan curved his lips and his eyes were tender. He carried her home.

At this moment, the neon lights in the bustling city were dazzlingly bright. Many luxurious cars sped past them and the autumn cold wind swept over. An’an buried herself into the man’s embrace. The noise in the city had nothing to do with them and time seemed to have slowed down for this pair of lovers who were holding onto each other.

Many pedestrians looked over them, especially young ladies and their partners —-

“Look, wow, that man is so strong! And he dotes on his girlfriend so much.”

“He’s already someone else’s boyfriend!”

“I would like this kind of boyfriend too.”

“That’s your own wishful thinking. Look at how pretty his girlfriend is.”

Those young ladies’ gazes were riveted on Lu Yan’s strong body and defined hard muscles and they were almost salivating from desire.

“Coward!” Lu Yan chuckled at her mercilessly.

“I’m not!”

“Really?”

Lu Yan ran again suddenly.

The man ran with the speed of lightning and An’an felt that she was going to fall any moment. “Ah!”

She shrieked all the way and her tinkling voice reverberated merrily around the night sky...

At this moment, a luxurious car was cruising on the streets. The chauffeur asked, “Madam, where are we going now?”

At the backseat, Huo Yanmei witnessed the scene while looking through the car window – An’an was riding on Lu Yan’s shoulders and Lu Yan was running while An’an was laughing away.

Huo Yanmei suddenly felt tears well up in her eyes. She covered her mouth and hot tears instantly cascaded down.

How was she feeling?

Was she feeling happy witnessing her daughter’s joy?

No.

She had always felt that Lu Yan could not match up to her daughter. This fellow simply would not go away! Perhaps it was a sort of... envy and jealousy between women.

Yes, she was envious and jealous.

She had lived half of her life yearning for love but she had never obtained it. Xuanji said that she had it coming to her.

Now An’an was being loved and cherished by Lu Yan. Her joy, laughter and look of happiness was so wonderful that one yearned for it too.

She had never seen An’an laugh like this before. An’an had never been so happy before.

It seemed she was a failure in her roles as a woman, wife and a mother.

Huo Yanmei could not withstand it any longer. She covered her face with her hands and started sobbing uncontrollably. At this moment, she seemed to have aged many years.

...

Lu Yan and An’an returned to the apartment. There was a familiar figure standing by the door. It was Chen Jin.

An’an was still riding on Lu Yan’s shoulders and Chen Jin looked at them.

An’an’s face reddened and she became flustered. “Let me down!”

Lu Yan placed An’an down onto the ground. An’an looked at Chen Jin with evasively, “General, what brings you here?”

Chen Jin was holding a bottle of wine in his hands. “An’an, you said that you would treat me to a meal. I’ve come here tonight for the meal.”

“Eh?!” An’an expressed shock as she had not prepared anything at all.
