Chapter 53: His Abrupt Appearance

Yan Yunge wasn’t expecting to hear such words when he only wanted to come and get Lu An’an back. He had already done a background check on her when she first joined the Yan family since he didn’t trust a total stranger becoming one of the Yans out of nowhere.

He knew everything about the Gu family’s blackmailing right from the start.

At first, he thought that as long as Lu An’an had the money for her mother’s hospital bills, everything would have worked out for the best. But he underestimated the circumstances as he stopped paying attention to her mother’s side. Now, it seemed Li Lihua was in the dark about their arrangement.

Looking through the glass panel, Yan Yunge stared at Lu An’an’s faint figure, and his heart clenched. Li Lihua’s words became harsher and harsher, and though he knew she was only worried about her daughter, it disturbed him.

Without a second thought, he swung the door open. Li Lihua was at the peak of her emotions as she spoke, so she didn’t even notice an intruder. “Mother,” Yan Yuge interrupted.

Li Lihua got distracted, and she turned to the voice, puzzled. “Have you gotten the wrong room, young man?” Her gaze soon fell on him and his fancy wheelchair.

Yan Yuge was still in the tuxedo he wore to the party earlier as he hadn’t had the chance to change. Despite not knowing the designer brand, Li Lihua could tell it cost a fortune from its tailoring and cloth. Even when mounted on a wheelchair, it couldn’t mask his taste and refinement. Anyone would have been shocked by a man in that tier calling her ‘mother.’

“No, I haven’t. I’m…” Yan Yunge had nothing to hide and was about to introduce himself when Lu An’an covered his lips with her hand.

Lu An’an caught Yan Yunge the moment he entered the room. She wanted to push him outside, but he surprised her by addressing Li Lihua. She thought she hid it well enough, and she had never spoken about her mother. It was beyond her expectations that he would come here.

The first thing that popped into her head was her and Li Lihua’s argument. She was obedient to her mother most of the time, except when it came to Yan Yunge. She was bullheaded. Though it was a mere twist of fate leading them together, their life was better and better. She saw no reason to get a divorce out of nowhere.

Deep down, she knew she didn’t want a divorce.

Yet, although she barely saw Yan Yunge getting mad, she couldn’t deny the immeasurable distance between them. Would he lose his temper this time?

Before she could resolve her ruminating thoughts, he was ahead of her. Neither was it the right time to trigger Li Lihua nor announce Yan Yunge’s existence as her husband. At that split second of desperation, she muffled his voice.

“This is a friend of mine.” Lu An’an beamed. “We’ll need to have a word outside.”

Yan Yunge knitted his brows together. It was the first time he was this unwelcomed in social interaction. Still, he had no intention of playing things out her way. He had plans.

Before Lu An’an could yank him to the door, Yan Yunge broke free of her hands. He had been going to therapy, regaining most of his strength, although still not being able to stand without support. Almost too effortlessly, he turned the tables and restrained her hands instead. Then, he let out a smile on his face, placing her hand in his palm as if they were madly in love.

He left Lu An’an bewildered. What in the world was he doing?
