Chapter 2 Meeting An Old Friend
As she slowly walked over, her surroundings quieted down.
The principal smiled amiably and said, “We meet again, academic star.”
“I really don’t deserve to be called an academic star by you.”An Lengyan’s smile was sweet and pure, and she bowed to show her respect.
The principal laughed out loud while looking at her with satisfaction.
“I’m really flattered that you agreed to my request.”
An Lengyan replied humbly. Under the gaze of the surrounding students, she nodded her head gracefully. She met An Tianyang’s gaze, then she smiled.
An Tianyang’s expression was cold, but if one were to look closely, one would notice that his gaze was dazed and his earlobes were slightly red.
An Lengyan immediately averted her gaze. She lowered her head and smiled. What no one noticed was that her smile was filled with sarcasm and wickedness.
‘We meet again, little brother!’
The news of the principal bringing back a girl who looked like an angel instantly spread throughout the school.
1
An Lengyan, who rejected the principal’s offer to give her a tour around the school, brought the cat she had just picked up to the school’s medical room to treat her injuries. The moment she walked out of the school’s medical room, the worried look on her face disappeared and her expression looked extremely cold.
On the way back, she happened to hear a conversation between a pair of siblings.
“Tianyang, what do you think we should do if our parents don’t want to transplant our sister’s heart to me after they bring her back?”An Tianzhu said pitifully.
An Tianyang kept thinking about the girl he had just met at the school gate. She was really beautiful, and he blushed at the thought of her.
An Tianzhu, who had been ignored, repeated herself again in annoyance. Only then did An Tianyang come back to his senses. He said indifferently, “What are you afraid of? When the time comes, we’ll lock her up in the An family’s home. There will always be a way to get her to agree.”
Despite his young age, his face was filled with viciousness, as if he was talking about a stray cat or dog, and not the life of his own sister.
1
An Tianzhu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and her pale little face became more rosy-cheeked.
An Lengyan, who was hiding in the shadows, had hatred in her eyes. It turned out that they had planned this from the very beginning. In her previous life, she had deliberately tried to curry favor with them in order to build a closer relationship with them. In their eyes, it must have been ridiculous. She had nowhere to vent her anger, so the tree branch beneath her feet was crushed by her foot.
The sound of the tree branch breaking alarmed the siblings.
An Tianyang shouted, “Who’s there?”
An Lengyan walked out with a smile on her face and apologized, “I’m sorry. Did I disturb you?”
An Tianyang blushed and his body stiffened. After a long while, he said, “No… no…” He scratched his head in annoyance and no longer had his usual bossy demeanor.
An Tianzhu frowned with displeasure. She looked at An Tianzhu’s face with jealousy and asked in an unpleasant tone, “Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?”
2
If she had heard what she just said, that would be terrible because the An family was carrying out this shady plan secretly.
An Lengyan continued smiling as she said in a clear voice, “Let me introduce myself. My name is An Lengyan.”
This name instantly stunned the two siblings. Their bodies stiffened as they stood rooted to the ground, An Tianzhu shrieked, “How is that possible?! How can you be that country bumpkin An Lengyan? My mom clearly said — mm.”
Before she could finish, An Tianyang covered her mouth with his hand. His eyes were filled with disbelief as well. After some hesitation, he said, “She’s probably just someone with the same name.”
An Lengyan’s gaze darkened. What did that woman say?
She didn’t need to guess to know that she must have said that she was ugly, vulgar, uneducated, and unworthy of being her daughter. She must have said that she was unworthy of her surname as well. She must have said that she felt annoyed at the sight of her and regretted giving birth to her.
These were the most common words she heard in her previous life. As a mother, she was so vicious and cruel towards her own daughter.
She had waited in the countryside for 18 years before she was finally brought back to her parents’ side. She thought that she would have a home from then on. She didn’t expect that it would be an even worse living hell. In the end, she even lost her life.
She clenched her fists tightly and nodded with a smile as she left that place. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist tearing them apart. The time hadn’t come yet. She used a whole five years to prepare a big gift for the An family, so it was a pity to destroy them at this time.
Chapter 3: Chapter 3 The Plan Began
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When the An siblings returned to the An family home, they heard their parents arguing inside. They looked at each other and hurried inside.
As soon as they entered, they heard Ruan Li crying. “An Lengyan is missing. What should we do? Tianzhu’s illness can’t wait any longer. My poor daughter –”
“You only know how to cry. What’s the use of crying?” An Zhiyao said impatiently. He was very annoyed with An Lengyan. Why was she wandering around?
The bag in An Tianzhu’s hand fell to the ground. Her already pale face looked even more sickly. She cried out in alarm, “What do you mean?”
When Ruan Li saw her, she hurriedly wipe away her tears. She sighed and said, “The person who went to pick up An Lengyan today said that she ran away five years ago.”
After seeing that she was about to faint from shock, she hurriedly said, “Tianzhu, don’t be anxious. I will go look for her right now. We will definitely find her.”
An Tianzhu fell into An Tianyang’s arms and said, “We must find her.”After saying that, she fainted.
The entire An family was once again in chaos. They hurriedly sent An Tianzhu to the hospital. After this incident, none of the siblings from the An family remembered An Lengyan, whom they had met at school today. They refused to accept An Lengyan’s dazzling appearance.
She should be pitiful, weak, ugly, and vulgar. Only then would they feel at ease to use her life in exchange for An Tianzhu’s life.
*
An Lengyan, whom they had been thinking about, had already completed the formalities and become the youngest professor in Imperial University. The president was somewhat impressed. With her ability, he felt that it was a waste of her talent to become a professor in Imperial University. He had snatched her away from those bigwigs in the capital. They would not find trouble with him in the future, would they?
With this thought in mind, the president smiled smugly again. Their treasure had taken the initiative to leave with him.
An Lengyan looked at the president, who had once again revealed a lewd smile, then shook her head and left immediately.
After leaving the school gate, she returned to her apartment nearby. The first thing she did when she entered was to wash up. Those twins were too dirty. Being in the same space as them made her feel dirty.
She rubbed the skin on her body until it turned red and she looked at herself in the mirror. There was an obvious black mark on her chest. She touched it. This black mark was left behind by the guy who claimed to be a god.
After her tragic death, she went to a strange space. She sold her soul and signed a contract with a god in exchange for a new life.
When she was 13 years old, she escaped from the countryside and used five years to prepare. She wanted to give the An family a taste of what she had suffered.
Just as she was overcome with hatred, her phone suddenly rang.
She slowly dried her body and put on her bathrobe. Then, she picked up her phone and read the latest message: “Miss, the operation has begun.”
She closed her eyes and threw herself on the bed. This time, she wanted to make the An family beg her to go back and let them watch the An family be destroyed bit by bit.
The next day, she arrived at the school early. The principal personally brought her to the classroom. When the students saw the principal, they instantly became silent. When they saw An Lengyan behind him, they began to discuss animatedly. The students at the school gate yesterday recognized her and all thought that she was a new transfer student.
Those who had not seen her yesterday thought that the rumors about her beauty were exaggerated. They didn’t expect her to be even more beautiful than rumored.
The principal gently raised his hand and said, “Quiet. This is Professor An, the new professor. She will be in charge of your future classes. Everyone, welcome her!”
The students were so shocked that their mouths were agape. They didn’t expect this girl, who was about their age, to be their professor. After a second of silence, thunderous applause rang out. Her capabilities aside.., her beauty had already won them over. The students who had to face old professors in class every day went crazy. If the professors all looked like this, why would they skip class?
An Lengyan swept her gaze across the students below and her gaze shifted to An Tianyang’s face. There was an obvious haggard look on his face and dark circles under his eyes. With one look, one could tell that he had not rested well yesterday. An Tianzhu didn’t come to class today.
Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Gloomy Youth
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
She thought for a moment and guessed the reason. She already knew that the An family had gone to the countryside to pick her up. It seemed that they didn’t pick anyone up, so they were very anxious.
She smiled and ignored him. Her gaze shifted to the youth sitting in the corner. His long hair covered his face, and he gave off a gloomy aura. She raised her eyebrows. She hadn’t expected the child God spoke of to be such a person.
2
After class, she called out to An Tianyang and asked with concern, “An Tianyang, you don’t seem to be in a good state.”
An Tianyang’s heart raced when he saw her. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, “I have some matters at home.”
An Lengyan smiled coldly and said, “You still have to take care of your health. If there’s anything I can help you with, you can tell me anytime.”
An Tianyang thought of her name and couldn’t help but ask, “Professor An, your family…”
“Huh?” An Lengyan saw that he couldn’t bring himself to say it, so she asked.
An Tianyang lowered his head abruptly and said that he was fine. Then, he left in a hurry.
An Lengyan looked at his back and smiled. She thought, ‘You gave up your chance, my good brother.’
If he had asked her about it just now, she would have told him the truth. Unfortunately, he lost his only chance.
She turned around happily and saw the gloomy young man staring at her at the back of the classroom. She smiled kindly, but the young man left with a snicker.
An Lengyan didn’t mind. She stood by the window with a miniature telescope in her hand. In her line of sight was the young man from earlier. If anyone saw this scene, they would probably call her a pervert and a peeping tom.
She saw that the young man had been dragged into the small forest. A group of people were punching and kicking him. Her expression was cold, and she didn’t have the slightest intention to help. It wasn’t time yet.
The young man didn’t resist. Instead, his dark eyes were looking straight in her direction. This startled An Lengyan. She put down the telescope in her hand and guessed that he wouldn’t be able to see her from such a distance.
The moment she put down the binoculars, the youth stretched out his hand. A group of mechanical mosquitoes that couldn’t be seen by the naked eye flew onto the bodies of the violent people. The sharp spikes on the mosquitoes pierced deeply into the bodies of those people. Those people only felt an itch on their necks, but they didn’t care.
An Lengyan waited until it was almost time before she headed towards the direction of the small forest. If she didn’t go now, she would miss such a good opportunity.
When she arrived, the youth still didn’t resist. He fell to the ground and allowed the people to torture him.
1
She rushed out and shouted, “Stop!”
Yan Chui looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared and said lazily, “What? Professor An has just arrived, but already wants to save the day?”
An Lengyan said with a straight face, “What you are doing is wrong.”
These words made the students burst out laughing. Even Yan Chui was amused.
He looked at An Lengyan’s beautiful face and said, “Professor An really doesn’t know the ways of the world. You think you’re impressive just because you’re a professor. I can do whatever I want to you poor people.”
Yan Chui laughed even more wickedly and said, “Or, if Professor An is willing to take this kid’s place, I’ll let him go. How about that?”
The surrounding people started to jeer and were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
An Lengyan wasn’t angry. She took out her phone and said, “I’ve already recorded what you said just now. I heard that your father is currently selecting an ambassador. If your words were to spread, I wonder if it would affect him.”
Yan Chui’s expression changed. He reached out to grab it, but she kicked his wrist. This kick coincidentally kicked away the mechanical mosquito on his neck.
The gaze of the young man on the ground darkened. He looked at An Lengyan with a strange expression.
The strength of this kick made Yan Chui take a few steps back. This was the first time he looked at An Lengyan properly.
After his anger subsided, he suddenly smiled and said, “I really underestimated you. As expected of Professor An.”
“Let’s go.” Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to teach this kid a lesson with her around, he spat fiercely and left with his men.
Chapter 5: Chapter 5 The An Family’s Incident
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An Lengyan walked over to the dirty young man lying on the ground. She stretched out her hand and said, “Everything is fine now. Shall I send you to the infirmary?”
The young man raised his head and looked at the hand in front of him. It was slender and fair, and even her nails were smooth. It had a pink luster, which was a stark contrast to his dark and dirty hands. He looked up. The girl who was facing the light had a warm smile on her face. Her warm smile was like a beam of light, but it made him look even more dilapidated by contrast.
An Lengyan was also a little surprised. This was the first time she saw his face under his long hair. He was unexpectedly handsome, but his dark eyes were a little creepy.
Lu Li said coldly, “I saw it just now.”
“What?” An Lengyan was stunned.
He asked again, “Why did you approach me?” The young man’s dark eyes were focused on her as if he was really curious and wanted to know the answer.
An Lengyan froze. She didn’t expect that he really saw it. A smile appeared on her face again. Just as she was about to explain, the young man seemed to lose interest again. He left after saying, “Your smile looks so fake.”
An Lengyan didn’t chase after him. She watched as he walked away, but her gaze slowly darkened. It seemed like this young man wasn’t easy to fool. However, didn’t this make it more interesting?
The next day, there was a terrifying rumor in the school. A group of students had died suddenly without any reason. They had no wounds or illnesses, but they had died suddenly.
This made the students panic. There were still some strange rumors circulating in the school, but the most frightened one was Yan Chiu. Only he knew that these people were the ones who had followed him to beat up Lu Li yesterday. This scared him so much that he didn’t dare to come to the school.
Lu Li saw that Yan Chiu’s seat had become empty, and regret flashed across his eyes. He lowered his head as usual, and his long hair covered his face. The mechanical mosquito that he was playing with was taken away by him. He would wait for a chance next time.
An Lengyan didn’t come to the school either. She didn’t have the time to care about Lu Li’s matters for the time being. She was focused on the An family. The An family should have received the news by now.
The situation was as she had expected. The entire An family was in a slump.
The An family’s parents, who were originally accompanying An Tianzhu in the hospital, were also forced to come to the company to solve the problem. This morning, all the investors in the company collectively withdrew their funds. There was no reason or sign. It was as if they had agreed amongst themselves. They didn’t even give them time to react.
By the time they found out, the capital chain of the An family company had already been broken.
An Zhiyao paid a visit to all the investors, but these black-hearted investors only accepted bribes and didn’t do anything. They all declined by saying that they wouldn’t continue to inject capital. He was at his wit’s end, and his white hair even increased.
His assistant, Wang Ke, casually said, “Now, only the richest man in Feng City, Master Luo, has the ability to help the An family.”
An Zhiyao’s eyes lit up. After praising Wang Ke, he immediately led his men to the Luo family’s home.
When they reached the Luo family’s home, they were rejected. He couldn’t help but curse when his last glimmer of hope was crushed. Wang Ke got an idea and suggested again, “I have an invitation card for the banquet hosted by Master Luo tonight. Why don’t you try your luck at the banquet?”
An Zhiyao, who was already at his wit’s end and exhausted from the successive blows, didn’t think too much about it. He accepted the invitation and treated the banquet as a last resort.
Wang Ke smiled with satisfaction. After handing the invitation card to An Zhiyao, Wang Ke sent a message to An Lengyan.
An Lengyan looked at the message on her phone and smiled. A sum of 100,000 yuan in cash was transferred into Wang Ke’s card.
That night, at the Luo family’s banquet.
The An family’s couple came to the banquet after dressing up. Their target was Luo Yunyang, who was in the middle of the crowd.
An Zhiyao squeezed through the crowd with great difficulty and came to Luo Yunyang’s side. He held a glass of wine in his hand with a fawning smile on his face. He said, “President Luo, I’m An Zhiyao of the An Group. We’ve met before.”
Luo Yunyang sat on the chair without moving. He glanced at him and said indifferently, “Oh, I remember now.”
An Zhiyao’s expression didn’t look too pleased, but after all, beggars couldn’t be choosers. He quickly adjusted his mood and continued, “President Luo, it’s good that you remember me. I came to visit you today, but you didn’t seem to be there. I have something to discuss with you.”
Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Official Recognition
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He didn’t directly say that Luo Yuntian didn’t want to see him. Instead, he used him not being there as an excuse. Unexpectedly, Luo Yuntian sneered and said, “I’ve been there all day, but I don’t want to see you.”
An Zhiyao’s face stiffened. The smile on his face couldn’t be maintained anymore.
Luo Yuntian shouted loudly, “Brat, you were rejected by me during the day and shamelessly came to my banquet at night. How come I don’t remember inviting you? Where did you steal your invitation card from?”
When the people around him heard this, An Zhiyao wished he could disappear on the spot. The gazes of the people around him made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He didn’t know what to do. At this time, a scream suddenly came from the other side where the ladies were gathered. It attracted everyone’s attention, and only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
He also looked in that direction. His eyes widened the moment he looked over. He hurriedly walked over. The person who had just screamed was his wife, Ruan Li. Ruan Li was sitting on the ground and her dress was drenched in red wine. She was in an extremely sorry state.
A beautiful woman stood beside Ruan Li. She frowned and said disdainfully, “The dignified Mrs. An actually stole my bracelet.”
The confused crowd looked at Ruan Li, who was on the ground. She was holding a jade bracelet in her hand. The jade bracelet was crystal clear, and it was obviously very valuable.
Ruan Li didn’t know why things had become like this. She just wanted to get close to Mrs. Luo, and she had no idea what had happened. She shook her head and said, “I didn’t. I didn’t steal the bracelet.”
An Zhiyao paused for a moment, then he hurriedly said, “There must be some misunderstanding.”
Mrs. Luo glanced at them, and said, “Who doesn’t know that the An family is short of money right now? You guys have been trying to borrow money from people all over Feng City, but no one has lent you guys any money. It shows how bad your connections are.” She then shouted at Luo Yunyang, “Hubby, you mustn’t lend them any money. What if they go back on their word?”
Luo Yuntian instantly seemed much more humbled in front of his petite wife despite his burly size.
An Zhiyao’s face was ashen. Not only had the An family become disgraced in such a short period of time, but they also had the reputation of going back on their word.
He regretted coming here today.
“What’s going on?” A pleasant female voice sounded. Everyone turned around and saw a girl wearing a white evening gown slowly walking over.
The moment this girl appeared, everything in the entire banquet paled in comparison to her. The smile on her face made everyone smile, except for the An family’s couple.
An Lengyan glanced at the embarrassed An family’s couple and closed her eyes to suppress the hatred in her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she had already regained her composure.
Madam Luo pulled her over with heartache and glared at the An family’s couple before saying, “My dear daughter, you’ve finally remembered me. It wasn’t easy for you to come back to Feng City, but you didn’t even come and see me at the first moment. You’re really heartless.”
An Lengyan’s eyes flashed with sincere mirth as she hugged her. Five years ago, when she had just escaped to Feng City, it was Madam Luo who had helped her and even acknowledged her as her goddaughter.
Luo Yunyang wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare to. He really missed his daughter too.
An Lengyan smiled and gave him a hug as well. This big man instantly broke into a wide smile.
Daughter?
No one had heard that the Luo family had a child. Everyone knew that Madam Luo couldn’t bear children at all. This matter was also a laughing stock in Feng City.
Madam Luo held An Lengyan’s hand in a high-profile manner and introduced, “This is my goddaughter. You have to show her respect in the future. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”
An Lengyan felt a sense of warmth in her heart. She knew that she was helping her.
Everyone responded while sizing up An Lengyan. Even the An family’s couple looked over. Ruan Li’s gaze was a little strange. Why did this girl look so much like her mother? She was practically the spitting image of her mother when she was young.
Her mother was a beauty, but she didn’t inherit any of her beauty. This was also what she hated the most. She clearly had a beautiful mother, but she was plain and unremarkable. This caused her to hate her own mother.
2
An Lengyan ignored everyone’s gazes and gave the Luo family’s couple a look. She turned to look at the An family’s couple with tears in her eyes. She asked with trembling hands, “Are… are you An Zhiyao and Ruan Li?”
The An family’s couple nodded in confusion.
She continued, “I’m An Lengyan. I’m your daughter.”
The An family’s couple was shocked. Ruan Li shook her head vigorously, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. How could her daughter be so dazzling? She had gone to the countryside to visit her when she was young, and she was extremely ugly. That was why she had given up on her. However, she believed her words because of her resemblance to her mother.
Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Peeping
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, their current state of mind was different. Their daughter had become the goddaughter of the Luo family, so there was no need to worry about financial problems. With this relationship, the An family could survive this crisis safely.
Just as they were feeling relieved, they heard An Lengyan cover her mouth and sob. “Why didn’t you come to find me? Why did you leave me alone in the countryside? I was kidnapped and finally came to Feng City, but I didn’t know where you guys were. I was wandering on the streets while starving. If it weren’t for my godfather and godmother, I would have starved to death long ago. You guys don’t care about me at all.”
After saying that, An Lengyan ran out.
The An family’s couple, who were confused by the accusations, were chased out by Luo Yuntian in disgust. Although they knew that An Lengyan had said it on purpose, they still felt sorry for her. When they first found her, they saw her curled up on the street while shivering from the cold. How could they bear to treat such a sensible child like her so cruelly?
An Lengyan ran out and wiped away the tears on her face. At this moment, there was no trace of sadness on her face. There was only indifference on her face. This trap had already been set up, and she was just waiting for them to fall for it.
After seeing the An family’s couple come out, she deliberately appeared and ran into the Imperial University to hide in the school. As expected, she saw the An family’s couple chasing after her. After seeing her enter the school, they left.
After they left, An Lengyan also walked out of the school and returned to her apartment.
The drama was about to begin.
*
An Lengyan had no classes today. She sat in her office while holding her binoculars in her hands. She looked out of the window for an entire morning.
A teacher walked in and asked curiously, “Professor An, what are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed in it?”
An Lengyan turned around and smiled. “Nothing much. I just feel that the scenery in the school is really good.”
The teacher came over to take a look. Hearing her words, she lost interest again. After all, she had already stayed in the school for eight years. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, she had seen enough, so she smiled and said, “That’s right. The scenery in Imperial University is famous for being good. If you really like it, go and take a walk. It’s not worth looking through binoculars.”
An Lengyan nodded and put down the binoculars in her hands.
If the teacher had seen the scenery through the binoculars, she would have realized that she was looking at a teenager. A professor was actually peeping at students.
1
She saw the teenager sitting by the pond while putting the things in his hands into the water. The fish in the water rushed forward to eat the white powder floating on the surface of the water.
An Lengyan didn’t continue watching. She didn’t expect that the fish that had eaten the white powder would all die. The young man skillfully fished them out.
An Lengyan was still curious. This young man didn’t seem like a person who would feed the fish. Did he like fish?
Lu Li put away the fish in his hand and looked towards the teacher’s office. His empty black eyes flashed, and with a move of his hand, a mechanical mosquito flew over.
An Lengyan had no idea that a mechanical mosquito had landed on her clothes. The message on her phone had attracted her attention.
There was a short message on the phone: “Miss, the first plan has been completed.”
There was also a piece of news attached at the back. The An Group had found their missing eldest daughter. The eldest daughter had been adopted by Feng City’s richest family, the Luo family. Could the An Group rely on this daughter to survive this bankruptcy crisis?
The An family’s couple, who were surrounded by reporters today, had no choice but to announce her identity. They hoped to use this to buy time.
In her previous life, she had been hidden in the An family’s home. Until her death, no one knew that the An family had an eldest daughter. In this life, she wanted them to personally reveal her identity and personally deliver all of the An family’s assets to her.
She slowly replied with a message, “Plan two begins.”
Right now, everyone was paying attention to the An family’s situation. Once they went bankrupt, the various aristocratic families would jump out as soon as possible to get a piece of the pie.
The news of the An family’s couple also shocked the An family’s siblings. They instantly thought of An Lengyan. They did not expect her to really be their elder sister.
An Tianyang’s feelings were the most complicated, because of the unspeakable little secret in his heart.
Chapter 8: Chapter 8 The An family’s Shares
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A trace of panic flashed through An Tianzhu’s heart. She hurriedly pulled her younger brother’s hand and said, “Tianyang, what should we do? An Lengyan is so outstanding. Will you guys not like me anymore when she comes back?”
An Tianyang had other things on his mind. For a moment, he did not care about her feelings and said, “She is our elder sister. You are overthinking.”
An Tianzhu’s expression froze. She slowly let go of his hand. Since when did Tianyang acknowledge An Lengyan as his sister? Shouldn’t she be the only one?
Once An Lengyan’s identity was revealed, would she still be able to get her heart?
An Tianzhu’s gaze hardened. There must be a way. She would definitely get her heart, as long as… as long as she died..
*
An Lengyan could guess the situation in the An family. She poured herself a glass of red wine and called Luo Yunyang.
1
“Godfather, the rest is up to you.”
Luo Yunyang naturally agreed. If it weren’t for An Lengyan’s disapproval, he would have destroyed the An family long ago.
An Lengyan took a sip of red wine and recalled some secret things she knew in her past life. The An family was definitely not as simple as it seemed. The An family had a huge backer behind them. She only knew that they were from the capital, however, she didn’t know who they were exactly.
Moreover, An Zhiyao seemed to have some concerns. He wouldn’t use his backer’s power easily, but he might do so in dire situations. Thus, An Lengyan’s every step was designed within the limits of his tolerance. Swtep by step, she gave him hope, and step by step, she lured him into the abyss.
1
The next day, the headlines of all the major news were dominated by the Luo family.
“The head of the Luo family, Luo Yuntian, announced in a high-profile manner that An Lengyan is his only daughter. The An family won’t even give his daughter a share. Why should he have to help the An family? An Lengyan might as well inherit the Luo family in the future.”
These were Luo Yuntian’s exact words. The reporters were also people who knew how to cause trouble, so they published his exact words in the news.
This instantly pushed the An family’s matter to the forefront again. Luo Yuntian’s response was a positive response to the An family’s news from yesterday.
The buzz that the An family had originally suppressed instantly revived. The An family’s couple was both anxious and angry .
Ruan Li cautiously said, “Zhiyao, why don’t we go and ask them for some money?”
An Zhiyao obviously knew who she was referring to when she said “they.” He immediately glared at her and said, “I’ve already told you not to disturb them for no reason.”
Ruan Li bit her lip with an unsightly expression. Wasn’t something already happening?
An Zhiyao had indeed thought of this before, but the Luo family had given him hope. It was just shares, right? Couldn’t he just give it to her? In any case, if he gave it to her, he would have to see if An Lengyan could handle it.
He pondered for a moment and summoned Wang Ke to hold a press conference.
Soon, the news started trending. The An family had placed 20% of their shares under the name of their eldest daughter, An Lengyan.
The An family’s couple also came knocking on the door after the press conference. They only thought that An Lengyan was a student of the Imperial University. An Tianzhu, who knew the truth, did not want them to know how outstanding An Lengyan was, so she did not tell them. An Tianyang wanted to say something, but she stopped him.
This caused them to check the student list of the university, but they couldn’t find her. They waited for a whole day outside the dormitory, but they still couldn’t find her.
An Tianzhu, who knew everything, couldn’t help but find An Lengyan first.
An Lengyan was openly teasing the students in class.
The students in the classroom stared at Professor An, who was on the podium. What did she just say? Were they hallucinating?
An Lengyan kept staring at the youth sitting at the back. She gave an evil smile and said, “From today onwards, the class monitor will be Lu Li.”
This sentence finally made the youth, who always had his head lowered, raise his head. His eyes were still staring at her without any emotion. It was as if nothing she said or did could make him waver.
An Lengyan’s desire to tease him grew deeper and deeper. She wanted to see what these eyes would look like when emotions appeared in them. Would they be very beautiful?
Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Framing

She walked down from the podium to the youth’s back and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. From the outside, it seemed like a professor being friendly with a student, but only the youth knew how daring this woman was.
Feeling the touch on his shoulder, he licked his teeth and a menacing look flashed across his eyes. However, he didn’t hate the smell of this woman. Lu Li, who had always hated being touched, didn’t feel a murderous urge for the first time.
The young man was good-looking, and his eyes were always slightly narrowed. However, when An Lengyan approached him, he widened his eyes slightly, like a beast whose territory had been invaded. His widened eyes showed all kinds of emotions.
An Lengyan gazed at the emotional fluctutaion in the young man’s eyes. She smiled and whispered in his ear, “Class monitor, I’ll leave the class to you from now on.”
Her breath fell on the boy’s ear. Lu Li’s ears instantly perked up and his body tensed up.
2
An Lengyan felt the muscles under her palm tighten up. She thought about how he looked thin, but was quite muscular. She touched him and left reluctantly.
She was satisfied with his reaction just now. She chuckled. She thought he was a wild wolf that was hard to tame, but he turned out to be a kitten. It seemed that the god’s quest was very simple. All she had to do was to make him fall in love with her.
She turned around. A trace of mockery flashed in Lu Li’s eyes. He was no longer nervous. He looked at An Lengyan’s back and thought to himself, “How interesting.”
The mechanical mosquito on her body moved slightly. Then it laid down again and stayed on her quietly.
An Lengyan walked out of the classroom after class and bumped into An Tianzhu.
An Tianzhu’s acting skills were not as good as the rest of the An family’s. Her face was filled with obvious viciousness, but the funny thing was that even so, she had not noticed it in her previous life.
An Tianzhu called out, “Professor An, I have a question to ask you. Do you have the time?”
She probably did not know how obvious the malice in her eyes was.
An Lengyan played dumb and said, “Of course I have the time.”
An Tianzhu brought her to the school grounds. Logically speaking, why would she come to such a remote place to ask a question? However, one of them had ulterior motives while the other was playing dumb, so no one raised any questions.
When they arrived at the place, there was a small pavilion in the deepest part of the school. It was very quiet and no one had ever come here before. Smugness flashed across An Tianzhu’s eyes, then, she turned around and questioned, “An Lengyan, do you think that we will acknowledge you just because you are back? It’s impossible. There has never been a place for you in the An family.”
An Lengyan wasn’t fazed at all when she heard this. After all, she did not want to return to the An family, but she wanted to destroy the An family.
An Tianzhu, who was waiting for her to be heartbroken, looked at the calm An Lengyan with an unsightly expression. She must be faking it. Yes, that must be the case. An Tianzhu only felt better when she thought about it this way.
In her mind, An Tianzhu, who had been abandoned in the countryside for 18 years, must have yearned to go home very much. She must have yearned for the love of her parents very much.
2
Her guess was not wrong. After all, in her previous life, she had lost her life because of this fake love.
An Lengyan still smiled gently and said, “You are worried that I will snatch your position because I am more outstanding than you, more beautiful than you, and more valuable than you.”
“No, that’s not true. You b*tch. Even if you’re back, you’re still an outsider.” An Tianzhu, who was exposed, instantly lost control. Her eyes were bloodshot as she took something out from her waist.
A silver light flashed past her hand. She smiled maniacally and said, “I won’t let you into the An family.”
An Lengyan was prepared for this. She didn’t expect that An Tianzhu would raise the knife in her hand and slice her own arm. An Tianzhu pretended to scream in panic and sat on the ground. At this moment, many footsteps suddenly sounded in the quiet place.
The one in the lead was An Tianyang, and he was followed by the An family’s couple. Behind them were a large group of students and teachers. Tears were streaming down An Tianzhu’s face as she cried miserably, “Sister, I won’t fight with you for Daddy and Mommy. Don’t kill me, sob –”
Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Returning to the An Family
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“An Lengyan, what have you done?!” An Tianyang roared as he walked towards them. After pushing An Lengyan away, he helped An Tianzhu up from the ground.
Seeing this scene and An Tianzhu crying, everyone present was misled. An Lengyan, who seemed to be he culprit, naturally received their gazes of disbelief, disgust, and mockery..
An Tianzhu lowered her head and smiled. She was prepared to kill An Lengyan directly, but she was afraid that the matter would be exposed. In a moment of desperation, she thought of a good idea. As long as An Lengyan’s reputation was tarnished, she would be despised and detested by everyone. Then, she would find another opportunity to kill her quietly.
When the time came, when she got her heart, everyone would feel that this was a matter of course.
Just the thought of An Lengyan being dragged off her pedestal and being spurned by others made her tremble with excitement.
An Tianyang thought that she was afraid and quickly hugged her. He looked at An Lengyan with a complicated gaze. After knowing that 20% of the An family’s shares had been registered in her name, An Tianyang’s feelings for her changed. He was the only son of the An family, but he only had 5% of the shares. This gap made him very unhappy.
Perhaps he could use this incident to get his parents to take back her shares, he thought to himself.
An Lengyan watched An Tianzhu put on an act. She didn’t refute or explain. Instead, she waited for someone to speak up.
Sure enough, the An family’s couple looked at each other. An Zhiyao was the first to speak up. “It’s nothing. It’s just children playing around. It’s normal for them to get injured by accident. It’s all play.”
He dismissed An Tianzhu’s injury as an accident. An Tianzhu looked at her father in disbelief. How could this be?
Could it be that they couldn’t see that she was injured? She was bleeding. She looked at Ruan Li, and Ruan Li, who had always doted on her, didn’t stand up for her this time.
Although Ruan Li doted on her daughter, the company was more important. If the company really went bankrupt, it would mean that her life as a rich lady would comr to an end, so she could only say, “I’ll send Tianzhu to the hospital first.”
1
The An family’s siblings were completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
An Lengyan smiled. She did not explain because she was certain that between the company and her daughter, she would definitely choose the company. After all, she was not only their daughter now, but also the goddaughter of the Luo family.
She then smiled sarcastically. She thought that they would love this pair of twins very much, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
The An family’s couple asked An Tianyang to take An Tianzhu away. They looked at An Lengyan. An Lengyan’s eyes turned red as she said, “I didn’t do it. I didn’t do it.”
An Zhiyao quickly said, “I know that it’s not your fault. It was an accident”
An Lengyan said gratefully, “Dad.”
Her calling him ‘dad’ made An Zhiyao’s eyes turn red as well. Ruan Li hurriedly said, “Lengyan, you should come back to the An family’s home with us today. We’ve been very worried ever since you disappeared. We’ve been waiting for you. We’ve even prepared a room for you at home.”
An Lengyan pretended to be touched as she nodded. The An family’s couple hugged her and kept talking about how much they had missed her over the years.
An Lengyan hugged them as a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes. She endured the nauseating feeling and played along with them.
The An family’s couple didn’t have much emotion in their eyes; they were all experts at acting.
The surrounding students dispersed when they saw this scene, but it was unclear whether they believed that what had just happened was just an accident.
In a corner, the eyes of the mechanical mosquito that was sitting on An Lengyan’s clothes were flashing red. It flapped its wings slightly, while Lu Li, who was sitting in his dorm room, watched the screen and let out a soft snort. This woman was so fake.
However, he could feel that An Lengyan and he were the same type of person. This made his eyes flash with excitement and eagerness.
1
An Lengyan followed the An family’s couple back to the An family’s home and stood outside the door of the An family’s home again. An Lengyan sneered coldly. An Zhiyao suddenly said, “Lengyan, where have you been all these years?”
An Lengyan hid the coldness in her eyes and said with a hint of admiration, “In the capital.”
An Zhiyao was stunned. He looked at An Lengyan’s face thoughtfully.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked.
Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Snatching the Room
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An Zhiyao suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at her with even more satisfaction than before. It was as if he found a great opportunity. His eyes were shining as he stroked An Lengyan’s head. “My daughter really has a beautiful face,” he said with a smile.
An Lengyan only felt that his gaze was a little disgusting. She narrowed her eyes slightly. What kind of evil idea was he up to?
Ruan Li, who was at the side, was also very confused.
At the dining table, An Tianzhu, who had already been bandaged, walked out of the room. When she saw An Lengyan, she couldn’t hold back her emotions for a moment. She shouted, “Why are you here?!”
An Tianyang’s gaze also darkened a little.
An Lengyan shrank behind An Zhiyao while looking somewhat at a loss.
An Zhiyao’s expression darkened. He said to An Tianzhu, “Mind your attitude. This is your sister. Of course she has to come home.”
An Tianzhu’s eyes widened. She was about to go crazy. What did this b*tch do to win over her father? Why did her parents care about that woman all of a sudden?
She was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she didn’t dare to act out anymore. All she could do was sit at the dining table with her lips pursed. She didn’t say a word and glared at An Lengyan.
An Lengyan endured her hostile gaze with peace of mind. She was even in a good mood as she put a piece of food into An Zhiyao and Ruan Li’s bowls. “I didn’t have the chance to show filial piety to you guys in the past. I’ll accompany you guys more in the future.”
An Zhiyao burst into laughter and nodded his head in satisfaction. He even added more food to her bowl. However, there was no telling if it was sincere happiness or due to the benefits she would bring him.
An Lengyan put down the pair of chopsticks in her hands and changed them discreetly. The food in her bowl hadn’t been touched either.
This scene of a loving father and filial daughter enraged An Tianzhu. She was so angry that she threw down her chopsticks and left.
Ruan Li felt sorry for her daughter and quickly followed her.
An Lengyan’s eyes flashed with mockery. She couldn’t take it anymore? She would return the things she had experienced in her previous life to them bit by bit.
Feeling a burning gaze, An Lengyan raised her head and saw An Tianyang looking at her. She smiled and said, “An Tianyang, why are you looking at me?”
An Tianyang was startled and his expression was a little complicated. He didn’t know how to face her anymore.
An Lengyan didn’t care. It wasn’t his turn to suffer yet.
After she finished eating, An Zhiyao was still very excited. He personally brought her to the room. An Lengyan wanted to test him. She pointed to a room and asked, “Dad, whose room is this?”
“This is your sister’s room,” An Zhiyao replied.
An Lengyan obviously knew whose room this was. In her previous life, when she lived in the utility room, An Tianzhu had always flaunted in front of her.
A trace of fondness flashed across her eyes. “This room looks very nice.”
She hadn’t entered yet, but she could tell what was good from just looking at the door. An Zhiyao looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. An Lengyan looked back with mirth in her eyes.
A trace of caution flashed through An Zhiyao’s heart. It seemed that his daughter wasn’t as simple as he thought. However, this was good as well. He could make better use of her if she had conditions
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, but it only lasted for an instant. Then, he flashed a loving smile and said, “Lengyan, do you like this room? If you do, I’ll ask Tianzhu to move out in a while.”
An Lengyan’s smile deepened. “There’s no need to trouble you. I’ll talk to my sister myself.”
After An Zhiyao left, she put away the smile on her face and pondered, what exactly was An Zhiyao planning? The test just now was to see how much tolerance he had for her. She deliberately said that she wanted this room, but she didn’t expect him to actually agree to it. He didn’t even consider it.
This meant that the benefits she could bring him were far beyond the Luo family’s capital injection. This was interesting.
She walked in leisurely and opened An Tianzhu’s door. This room was the largest room in the An family, which showed how much the An family’s couple doted on their daughter. In her previous life, she had no right to enter this room. She could only look at it from afar with envy.
However, things were different now.
An Tianzhu had just been pacified by Ruan Li. She was lying on the bed while venting her anger on the pillow. She treated the pillow as An Lengyan.
Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Superficial Love
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What’s wrong?” An Tianzhu heard her voice and suspected that she was hearing things. How could that b*tch’s voice appear in her room?
She only got up when she heard footsteps. When she saw An Lengyan behind her, a flash of anger appeared in her eyes. She said, “Who allowed you to come in? What right do you have to enter my room?”
This sentence immediately triggered some bad memories in her mind. She went straight to the bedside, lowered her body and trapped An Tianzhu under her body. She said coldly, “From now on, this room is mine.”
An Tianzhu wanted to flare up. She raised her hand and tried to slap her face. She was pressed down by An Tianzhu. She said in a sinister, “You better behave, or I won’t be able to resist killing you.”
1
An Tianzhu’s face stiffened. What she said was true. She really wanted to kill her.
An Lengyan patted her face and stood up. “That’s right. Be good. Now, get out.”
An Tianzhu was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She froze and only came back to her senses after walking out of the room stiffly.
She breathed heavily and realized that she had been holding her breathe just now. Ruan Li, who had just gone to pour milk for her, saw her standing at the door with a strange expression.
“Why are you standing outside?” Ruan Li asked.
An Tianzhu complained with tears in her eyes, “An Lengyan took my room.”
There was deep malice behind her aggrieved tears. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to kill that b*tch.
Ruan Li frowned and said angrily, “Who gave her the right?!”
“I did.” An Zhiyao walked over. Right now, his mind was filled with the benefits An Lengyan could bring to him. He had no time to care about his wife and children’s feelings. He pointed to the room that was originally prepared for An Lengyan. “Tianzhu, why don’t you just go and stay in that room first? Besides, it’s just a room. It doesn’t matter where you stay.”
An Tianzhu looked at the room that had been converted from a storeroom. She was so angry that her body was trembling. This room was specially chosen for An Lengyan after she found out that her parents were going to bring An Lengyan back to stay. She wanted to humiliate her, but she didn’t expect it to become her own room in the end.
An Tianzhu pestered the An family’s couple relentlessly. After being yelled at by An Zhiyao, she ran away crying.
An Lengyan hid in the room to eavesdrop on their conversation. She wasn’t too interested in what happened after that. She looked at the hand that had touched An Tianzhu’s hand, and a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes.
The entire An family was dirty. She had no intention of staying here, but she would never allow An Tianzhu to stay in this room.
She walked out of the room. An Lengyan didn’t know what An Zhiyao had said to Ruan Li, but she even smiled in a friendly manner when she saw An Lengyan. She didn’t look as hysterical as when she had just heard what An Tianzhu said.
An Lengyan had already confirmed that An Zhiyao was definitely trying to get something from her, or that she could help him get something.
With this thought in mind, she narrowed her eyes slightly while concealing the malice in her eyes. “Dad, Mom, I don’t like this room. Help me renovate it. I’ll move in after the renovations are done.”
The An family’s couple looked at each other. They hadn’t gotten the money from the Luo family yet, so they didn’t want to let her leave.
Before they could persuade her to stay, An Lengyan was the first to speak. “Mr. Luo wants me to stay for a few days. I can talk to him about the capital injection.”
An Zhiyao nodded repeatedly. He promised that he would renovate the room as soon as possible, and everything would be done according to her preferences. Then, he sent her out with a smile on his face.
An Lengyan’s back was facing them, and the mockery in her eyes grew more and more intense. Human relationships were really superficial. In her previous life, she had treated them sincerely, but they didn’t care. In this life, a meager amount of money was enough for them to try their best to please her.
An Lengyan, whose mind was filled with dark thoughts, suddenly thought of the Luo family’s couple. A glimmer of light rose inside. Not everyone was like this.
She did not go to the Luo family’s home, but returned to the school dormitory. The school treated her well and gave her a single room in the teacher’s dormitory. It was said to be a single room, but once she entered, she got a taste of the Imperial University’s wealth. Even the teacher’s dormitory was decorated like a small villa.

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Being Spied On
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After she went in, she tidied up a little and went to the bathroom. The clothes she took off were thrown on the floor. The mechanical mosquito on the hem of her clothes vibrated slightly before it crawled out of her clothes. It swayed as it flew towards the bathroom.
The water tap in the bathroom was turned on, and the steam from the hot water formed a white mist that enveloped the entire bathroom.
An Lengyan did not notice that a small mosquito had entered the bathroom. She rubbed the skin on her body with all her might. She felt disgusted even if she were to get the slightest bit closer to the An family, let alone today’s intimate contact.
The mechanical mosquito flew into the bathroom under the control of its owner. The steam in the bathroom had blurred the mechanical mosquito’s camera lens, which was disguised as an eye. It could not see its direction clearly, so it stumbled and flew into the bathroom. Fortunately, the sound of the shower covered the sound of it hitting the wall.
1
In the boys’ dormitory, a teenager was sitting on the bed. The black cloth on all sides covered him tightly and made the entire space seem oppressive and dark.
He was holding a computer. The picture on the computer was of An Lengyan in the bathroom. The mechanical mosquito was automatically tracking An Lengyan. He did not expect that when he turned on the computer, the picture would be like this. Although he could not see anything clearly, the sound of water coming from the headset and the shadow hidden in the white fog on the screen made him blush and he quickly gave an order to the mechanical mosquito.
The mechanical mosquito, which was finally sitting in a corner, flapped its wings again and flew out stumbling.
When it came out of the bathroom door, An Lengyan had just closed the shower door. The strange sound made her turn her head, and the mechanical mosquito quickly left the bathroom.
An Lengyan picked up a towel and wiped her hair. She dried her body and changed into her pajamas, then laid on the bed and relaxed. She had no idea that a certain teenager would be unable to fall asleep because of her.
Lu Li looked at An Lengyan on the screen. The moonlight from outside the window shone on her body and her fair skin glowed. An Lengyan kicked the blanket away, but she felt cold and she reached out to grab it. However, she couldn’t find it.
She couldn’t help but moan because of the cold.
Lu Li frowned at her. How could this woman be so stupid? He hesitated for a moment, but still operated the mechanical mosquito to cover her with the blanket.
An Lengyan, who finally felt warm, smiled comfortably and fell into a deep sleep.
Behind the screen, Lu Li felt his heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. His eyes were filled with passion and excitement, and his dark eyes were no longer hollow. Instead, they gave off a dangerous glow as they sparkled in the night.
He was like a child who had found his favorite toy. He stared at An Lengyan in her sleep, and after a while, he felt like he couldn’t control himself anymore. He turned off the computer. If continued to watch, he wouldn’t resist the urge to let the mechanical mosquito kill her, so that he could hide her in a place that only he knew about.
This dangerous thought flashed through his mind, but he dispelled it. An Lengyan was more interesting alive.
You’d better keep me interested in you, or I’ll kill you.
The soft murmur drifted with the wind with an eerie air.
An Lengyan, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly curled her rosy lips. She had just seen a little black thing fly out from the bathroom mirror, so she deliberately kicked away the quilt. It seemed that someone had placed something beside her.
This feeling of being watched made her a little unhappy, but she still had to play dumb before the enemy appeared.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that the things she had bought yesterday had arrived. The doorman saw that some boxes were big, so he specially sent them over for her.
An Lengyan smiled politely. After the doorman left, she opened the box and found a pair of binoculars inside.
She skillfully set up the binoculars and placed them by the window. With a smile on her face, she adjusted the binoculars. The reason she wanted to live in the school was because she could see the boys’ dormitory across the street.
Of course, she wasn’t interested in those men. What she wanted to see was Lu Li. A small mosquito stayed in the corner and reported her every move to its master.
After she was done, An Lengyan went out. She still had a class today.
Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Rumors
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When she arrived at the classroom, she saw that an unfamiliar teacher was already in the classroom. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Wang Xuehan, who was standing on the podium, saw An Lengyan, who was holding a lesson plan, appear at the door. She said loudly, “Students, from now on, I will be in charge of your classes. After all, some people are not worthy of being a teacher.”
The students looked at the teacher on the podium and then at the teacher at the door. They didn’t say anything, but they were guessing if the rumors from yesterday were true.
Otherwise, why would the school replace Professor An?
An Lengyan said coldly, “I didn’t receive any notice from the principal.”
A hint of pride flashed in Wang Xuehan’s eyes. She had long been displeased with An Lengyan. An 18-year-old child should study hard instead of showing off.
“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’ve gotten the principal’s favor. Now that the principal isn’t around, let’s see who can protect you,” Wang Xuehan said.
An Lengyan instantly guessed the reason for the matter. It was probably because An Tianzhu had set her up yesterday, but she didn’t explain. It wasn’t time yet, so she turned around and left without saying a word.
However, when she turned around, her rosy lips curled up. She wasn’t as upset as everyone thought.
That was because she saw Lu Li sitting in the corner and looking at her. Maybe this was a good thing.
Back in the dormitory, she changed her mind about explaining. She turned on the computer and canceled uploading the video that she had set up yesterday. She knew An Tianzhu’s nature very well. Therefore, when she left with her that day, she had already used the micro-camera to record the entire process. However, she still had to wait for now. Who knows, she might have some unexpected gains.
A few days had passed. The entire school was spreading the news that An Lengyan had been fired from the school because she had injured her younger sister with a knife.
An Lengyan had become a disgrace to the school. She had not left the dorm for a few days, and someone said she did not dare to leave the dorm because she had a guilty conscience. The forum was filled with the hashtag # DidAn LengyanGetOutOfTheSchoolToday? #
# HowImportantAProfessor’sCharacterIs #
# AnLengyanAttemptedToKillSomeone #
As the victim, An Tianzhu naturally became the subject of everyone’s sympathy. An Tianzhu took the opportunity to play the pity card. While she talked about the injustice An Lengyan had done to her after she was taken back to the An family, she also told them not to target An Lengyan. After all, An Lengyan was her sister.
This made An Tianzhu the idol of students in the school. Everyone praised her for her kindness.
An Lengyan spent most of her time in the dormitory sitting beside the binoculars. On the other side of the lens, a young man was sitting by the window and his hands were moving non-stop. However, it was hard to see what he was doing. One could only see that he was moving very fast. It was as if he was constantly installing something.
As time passed, An Lengyan became a little fascinated. This young man had a pair of hands that could be considered a work of art, especially when his fingertips were moving around. His fingertips looked very beautiful, like an elegant swan dancing.
On the other side, Lu Li was controlling the movements of his hands as he looked down at the electronic screen beneath his feet. All of this was happening in a place that An Lengyan couldn’t see, and An Lengyan’s every move was on the screen.
Lu Li’s eyes were filled with passion. In his hands, a large mechanical mosquito was gradually taking shape. Perhaps he had a thing for mosquitoes.
The large mechanical mosquito was carrying a small basket on its back. In the basket, there was a box of milk and a cake. In a hidden corner, a large mosquito was flying towards the teachers’ dormitory across the street.
An Lengyan only saw a black shadow flash before her eyes. Then, she heard a buzzing sound and turned around to look at a large mosquito.
An Lengyan didn’t panic. Although this mosquito was a bit bigger, it was exactly the same as the one at home. She glanced at a small dot on the carpet.
She took the basket from the mosquito’s back and took out the cake and food. At this moment, if she didn’t know who it was from, she would be foolish. She smiled and put it away. Lu Li, who was behind the camera, looked at her in confusion. She kissed the mosquito’s eyes gently.
Chapter 15: Chapter 15: I Want To Eat Red Braised Meat
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Li was so shocked that he fell off his chair. Only he could hear his heartbeat quickening. He was even wondering if there was something wrong with his body, but he really liked this feeling. He had never wanted to possess something so much before.
An Lengyan saw his reaction through the binoculars and laughed. This time, she was genuinely laughing. Lu Li saw her smile and touched the electronic screen, as if he wanted to touch her face through it. His expression was focused and firm. He wanted to see this woman smile like this instead of seeing her fake smile.
Since that was the case, he would protect her well.
In his heart, An Lengyan was already his. Since that was the case, he should feed her and protect her.
1
This was the reason why he gave An Lengyan food today.
1
An Lengyan looked at the cake and milk on the table with disgust. She had an idea. She picked up a pen, paper, and started writing. Then, she put the note into the mosquito’s basket and pointed at its eyes to signal that it could leave.
Lu Li was curious, so he controlled the mosquito to fly back. On the note, there were the words: “I have no appetite. I want to eat braised pork.”
Lu Li laughed and threw it aside. She said she had no appetite, but she still wanted to eat braised pork. What a joke.
He then saw a note in the basket and opened it out of curiosity.
“I haven’t eaten in two days. If you don’t cook for me, I’ll starve to death.”
Lu Li’s heart skipped a beat. An Lengyan’s need for him unexpectedly poked him in the heart. He hesitated for a moment before getting up and leaving the dormitory.
An Lengyan, who was just teasing him, watched him leave. She didn’t think that he was going to buy her braised pork, but she was confused as to what he was going to do.
Since Lu Li wasn’t in the dormitory, she also got up and left. She went to the living room and turned on her computer to look at the news on the school forum. It was filled with people who were scolding her. Her post was still at the top of the list. With An Tianzhu constantly playing the pity card, she was even more notorious now. Now, there were many students who were asking for her to be kicked out of the school.
Things were getting bigger and bigger. An Lengyan saw the few accounts that were scolding her the most. After a while, she found out who they belonged to. They either belonged to An Tianzhu’s sidekicks or her own smurf accounts; unexpectedly, she found out something interesting.
1
One of An Tianzhu’s accounts was filled with insults and taunts towards the school’s School Belle. Many of the School Belle’s dark history were spread from her account. The most ridiculous thing was that she had just praised the school belle on her official account, then started scolding her on her smurf account. She was really two-faced.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
An Lengyan opened the door and saw Lu Li standing outside. The two of them stood facing each other, and An Lengyan realized that Lu Li was very tall. Usually, he would lower his head, but now, when she looked up at him, she realized that he was even taller than her. An Lengyan herself was a tall girl, and was at least 1.75 meters tall. She thought, Lu Li was probably 1.9 meters tall.
Lu Li looked down at the confused girl and smiled. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to eat red braised meat?”
An Lengyan was even more confused. She looked at the thing in Lu Li’s hand. It didn’t look like red braised meat at all.
Lu Li pushed her aside and entered. The moment their bodies touched, his heart began to beat faster and excitement flashed in his eyes. He felt like a pervert, but he liked this feeling. His heart and body told him that he wanted this woman.
1
An Lengyan didn’t refuse. Instead, she followed behind him and watched him take out a large piece of raw meat from the bag in his hand. Raw meat?
It was the standard pork belly that was used to make braised pork. He was even worried that the ingredients here wasn’t complete, so he had prepared all kinds of seasonings and bags of seasonings filled the entire table.
An Lengyan was thinking that he did not know how to cook when in the next second, he asked, “Does this meat need to be washed?”
An Lengyan’s mouth twitched. Seeing how serious he was, she knew that he really did not know, but… she did not know either.
Chapter 16: Chapter 16 I Just Want To Play With It

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He had no choice but to take out his phone and type on the screen, “Urgent question: Do I need to wash the meat before making it into braised pork?”
An Lengyan looked at his serious but clumsy actions and smiled slightly. She turned around and left the kitchen. She suddenly thought, how did he know that the teachers’ dormitory had a kitchen? When she saw the mosquito on the ground, she instantly understood.
She picked up the mosquito on the ground. This mosquito was really small. It was only the size of a normal mosquito. When she looked closer at the pair of small eyes, she could see the flickering red light inside. The mosquito’s wings were also very realistic.
An Lengyan was a little curious. How did he make this mosquito? She had been by her teacher’s side for a long time. One of her teachers was involved in scientific research and specialized in mechanical weapons. However, she had never seen such a small and agile thing before.
She wanted to tear it apart and take a look. Just as she put her hand on its wings, she saw the mosquito suddenly sound an alarm and the red light in its eyes became stronger.
Lu Li walked out of the kitchen and took the mechanical mosquito from her hand. He gently pressed it and the mosquito returned to normal.
“It’s very dangerous to play with it.” He handed the mosquito to An Lengyan.
An Lengyan looked at his appearance. There was a garbage bag on his head and a spatula in his hand. There was also a smear of black dust on his face, which made her laugh out loud.
Despite Lu Li’s glare, she didn’t stop. Instead, she laughed her head off.
Lu Li helplessly helped her to the sofa and said, “Stop laughing. Your stomach can’t take it anymore.”
An Lengyan’s eyes flashed with slyness. She suddenly approached him, pressed him against the sofa and said, “But what if I want to play with this?”
She held the mechanical mosquito in her hand and asked innocently.
Lu Li’s face was slightly red. It wasn’t because he felt shy, but because he was excited by her approach. He reached out and pulled out a wire from the mosquito’s tail. The mosquito’s eyes flickered a few times before returning to normal. He said, “It’s okay.”
An Lengyan fell into deep thought. She walked away from him and said, “I’m so hungry. Are you done?”
When she suddenly left his arms. Lu Li’s gaze darkened. He looked at An Lengyan. This heartless woman would abandon him as soon as she got what she wanted, but it didn’t matter. He would give her time to get used to him. She could only be his.
Lu Li got up and went back to the kitchen. The smile on An Lengyan’s face disappeared. She touched the mechanical mosquito. After Lu Li’s modification, the mosquito didn’t react at all to her touch. If she hadn’t stopped and continued, what would happen after the mosquito alarm went off?
When Lu Li came out with the prepared red braised meat, An Lengyan had already disassembled the mechanical mosquito and put it back together. She let go of the mechanical mosquito and it flew up into the air before stopping on the carpet. Its eyes stared at her as it worked diligently.
When she heard Lu Li’s call, she walked to the dining table. She was worried about Lu Li’s cooking, and was shocked when she saw what he cooked.
She had never seen anyone who could make red braised meat into rice crust. She used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of black meat. The entire piece of meat was cooked into a pancake shape and she asked suspiciously, “Is this red braised meat?”
Lu Li’s expression didn’t change as he replied, “Who said that red braised meat has to look the same? Isn’t it enough as long as it tastes good?”
An Lengyan was even more suspicious. She used her chopsticks to knock on the plate of indiscernible food. A hard knocking sound rang out.
When the two of them were silent, the doorbell rang again.
An Lengyan walked in with a takeaway and Lu Li’s expression darkened.
An Lengyan had expected that he would fail and ordered a takeaway immediately. Fortunately, she had the foresight.
She called Lu Li over to eat. The authentic red braised meat was placed on the table. It was red, soft, and crystal clear. With white rice, it looked very appetizing.
Lu Li looked at An Lengyan’s happy face and then at the plate that he had worked so hard to cook. When he saw that she didn’t even look at it, his expression became even worse.
Lu Li, who was suddenly stuffed with a mouthful of braised pork by An Lengyan, widened his eyes.
Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Get Out of School
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An Lengyan smiled and said, “I told you this braised pork was delicious.”
Lu Li still didn’t look happy, but he was still satisfied with An Lengyan’s intimacy and ate a few pieces.
After the two of them finished eating, An Lengyan signaled for him to leave. Lu Li, who had something on his mind, immediately left. He didn’t forget to take their trash with him. It seemed like he was a good person.
An Lengyan didn’t know that Lu Li had torn up the bill on the takeout when he left. The information of the restaurant was clearly written on it.
The first thing he did when he returned to his dorm was to turn on his computer and hack into the surveillance camera of the restaurant’s kitchen. He noted the chef’s cooking process bit by bit.
The owner of the restaurant probably didn’t expect that someone would use top hacker skills to hack into his small restaurant.
After An Lengyan was full, she laid on the sofa and didn’t want to move. All sorts of information flashed through her mind as she silently recited Lu Li’s name. Suddenly, her computer rang and an email was sent to her.
An Lengyan opened it and saw that it was from her teacher.
“Did you get it?”
An Lengyan thought for a moment and replied, “I need some more time.”
There was no movement on the other side. She covered her eyes with her hands. Although Lu Li appeared to be harmless around her, the closer she got to him, the more she could feel that Lu Li wasn’t simple. However, how simple could someone that her teacher had in mind be? Moreover, there was the god’s quest… how troublesome.
An Lengyan suddenly received a message from Lu Li. When did he get her phone number? This question immediately popped up in her mind.
“I have the video from that day. Do you want me to help you?”
An Lengyan suddenly smiled. She naturally knew what he was talking about. She hadn’t released the video because she wanted to bait him, but she didn’t expect him to fall for it so quickly. It seemed like this mosquito had been by her side earlier than she had expected.
She slowly replied, “No need, I’ll take care of it myself. After all, we don’t have any sort of relationship, so I won’t trouble you.”
An Lengyan imagined his expression and smiled again. She had just rejected him, but she immediately picked up the mechanical mosquito and kissed it.
Lu Li accepted the kiss with a blushing face. He threw away the phone in his hand. Thinking about what she had just said, he sneered. “Don’t have any sort of relationship…”.
1
A few days passed, and the teachers could no longer suppress the student protests. The students condemned An Lengyan online. There were even some more extreme students who went to the teachers office to cause trouble.
The principal was not in the school, so the vice principal spoke up. She claimed that An Lengyan had been fired from the school a few days ago. It was she who didn’t want to leave the school, so there was nothing the school could do about it.
This statement immediately put An Lengyan in a position where she would be ridiculed by the crowd. Many students had gathered outside her teacher’s dormitory early in the morning and clamored for her to get out of the school.
An Tianzhu hid behind the crowd, and a hint of excitement flashed across her eyes as she watched this scene. She had been fanning the flames behind the scenes for so many days just for this day. Wasn’t it because she was a professor that she was so cocky? She was going to pull her down from her pedestal. When the time came, she would see what else she could do.
An Lengyan stood upstairs and looked at them. Many of these students had never even seen her before. However, because many people condemned her, they joined the bandwagon. Or rather, they didn’t care about whether the matter was true or not. They only cared about whether or not they had vented their emotions.
This was what humans were like. They were disgusting and stupid.
An Lengyan sneered and looked down at them coldly.
She didn’t come out, so the students couldn’t do anything to her. An Tianzhu looked up and saw her figure. She hid behind the crowd and shouted, “An Lengyan is there!”
The students looked up and indeed, they saw a girl in a white dress standing on the balcony looking at them.
The sunlight was a little dazzling, but her figure was still very clear. Just like when they first saw her, she was wearing a white dress and she looked as pure as an angel. Would such a girl really do something like use a knife to hurt her own sister? This thought flashed through everyone’s minds. For a moment, the clamors for her to get out of the school weakened.
Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Being Kicked Out of the School
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An Tianzhu panicked when she saw this situation. She was anxious and jealous.
She acted weak and pitiful as she rushed out and blocked the students. She stretched out her arms and shouted, “Don’t chase my sister away. She will be sad.”
This sentence reminded everyone of their purpose in coming here. They felt very uncomfortable about the trance just now. They blamed everything on An Lengyan being too pretentious. They pointed at her angrily and shouted, “An Lengyan, after doing this, how can you still have the nerve to stay in school?!”
“That’s right, get out of the school. The Imperial University can not tolerate someone as evil as you.”
Someone with an angry expression threw the object in their hands upstairs. An Lengyan took a step back and left the balcony. Her last glance was towards a dark spot at the back of the crowd. That was where Lu Li was standing. There was a trace of tears in her eyes and she looked pitiful.
The moment she turned her head, she stopped crying. She sat in the dormitory leisurely while waiting for the fish to take the bait.
However, things seemed to have gone beyond her expectations. She didn’t await Lu Li, but for the vice principal.
Under the vice principal’s expulsion, she took her stuff and left the school without any resistance. She dragged her suitcase to the school gate. The students on the way were all talking about her.
An Tianzhu stood in the dark. Her eyes were filled with malice as she smiled happily. This was the result of provoking her. She thought, ‘An Lengyan, you should just stay in the mud for the rest of your life. You shouldn’t have appeared in such a glamorous manner. You deserve to be spurned by others.’
The moment An Lengyan stepped out of the school gate, An Tianzhu took out her cell phone and made a call. A kidnapping and murder plan had officially begun to be carried out. She couldn’t wait to get An Lengyan’s heart.
1
Thinking that her wish was about to come true, she clutched her heart in excitement.
When An Tianyang, who had come to look for her, heard this, his body stiffened. He wanted to stop her, but as he looked at An Lengyan’s back and thought of the An family’s shares, he pretended that nothing had happened.
An Lengyan walked out of the school gate and casually placed her luggage by the side of the road. Instead of returning to the An family’s home, she wandered around the streets, as if she was waiting for someone. Her expressiond was solemn as she pondered over what exactly had gone wrong.
1
A van suddenly appeared. Two men got out of the van and pulled An Lengyan into the van. An Lengyan did not have time to struggle before someone covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. The knockout drug on the handkerchief had just been applied and she fainted.
No one saw the smile on An Lengyan’s face.
The van appeared and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone’s sight. No one noticed the figure of a girl who had disappeared from the streets.
When An Lengyan woke up, she found that she was in a sack. The sound of moving could be heard constantly. It was very dark inside the sack, and nothing could be seen. A pair of small red eyes were blinking inside the sack.
An Lengyan was not afraid at all. She said in a low voice, “Why aren’t you telling your master to come and save me?”
The mechanical mosquito attached to her clothes was still blinking its red eyes. She did not know if it could understand what she was saying. In the next moment, she felt that someone was carrying her. As the person walked around, the opening of the sack was slightly loosened. The sudden bright light made An Lengyan narrow her eyes. She leaned against the hole that was the size of an eye and looked outside.
She was probably being carried on someone’s shoulder. Her body was a little weak, probably because of the knockout drug. It would be difficult for her to escape by herself now. Could it be that she had messed up?
However, An Lengyan did not have a trace of regret. Her eyes were filled with determination. No matter what, she had to take a gamble.
“Boss, should we kill her now?”
“Wait, we’ll make it look like she fell into the sea and died. Then, we’ll kill her.”
The sound of conversation could be heard from outside.
An Lengyan did not need to guess to know who was behind this. The only person who wanted her dead now was An Tianzhu. It seemed that just like in her previous life, she was determined to get her heart.
An Lengyan was thinking about how to escape when a familiar figure flashed in front of her. She widened her eyes and looked at the figure.
However, Lu Li only took one look at them before he turned around and left. He was holding a computer in his hand and searching for something.
Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Kidnapped
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing that he left, An Lengyan wanted to scream. She didn’t expect Lu Li to really come, but he was too unreliable. He couldn’t even locate her, so it seemed like she had to save herself.
As soon as she thought of this, she heard two screams, followed by two muffled thuds. She fell down and was caught in an embrace.
The next second, the sack on her head was untied. An Lengyan saw Lu Li’s cold face.
An Lengyan was at a loss for what to do because of his sudden appearance. She asked in a daze, “How did you find me?”
Lu Li didn’t answer. Instead, he looked into her eyes. How beautiful!
How could he mistake those eyes?
Footsteps came from afar. It was the gang of robbers. Both of them thought of this at the same time. An Lengyan hadn’t completely recovered from the knockout drug yet. Lu Li quickly picked her up and ran towards a small path.
He ran very fast, but An Lengyan didn’t feel any bumpiness. This young man’s chest was surprisingly firm. She wrapped her arms around the young man’s neck and rested her head on his neck.
The sudden closeness made Lu Li pause. He staggered and almost tripped over his own feet.
He quickly ran towards the small path with An Lengyan in his arms. As the footsteps behind him got closer and closer, he dodged and hid under a stairway.
The staircase was very secluded, but narrow. Lu Li felt that it would be a little cramped even if he was alone, not to mention he had An Lengya in his arms. He could only crouch on the ground and hug the woman in his arms tightly before he could barely hide the two of them.
1
Footsteps could be heard around them. When the robbers saw that they were gone, they cursed and looked for them. They kept saying that if they found them, they would teach them a lesson.
The two people hiding under the stairs were not nervous or afraid. An Lengyan leaned against his chest and heard his heartbeat gradually increase. This discovery made her smile slightly. It turned out that he wasn’t that aloof. These two miscalculations in her plan made her think that she had failed.
She gently approached Lu Li’s ear and asked, “Lu Li, do you have your cell phone? I’ll call the Luo family. They will come and save us.”
Lu Li only felt a slight itch in his ear. He quietly put the phone in his coat pocket into his inner pocket and imitated her behavior. He leaned closer to her ear and said, “No.”
It was a simple word, but his lips accidentally brushed past her earlobe. An amorous air rose between the two of them.
An Lengyan didn’t think that he was doing it on purpose. Instead, she was thinking about how to escape. Who knew how long those people would search for? If they found out. Lu Li, with her as a burden, would be no match for them.
She was seriously thinking of a way. Lu Li, who wasn’t worried at all, tightened his arms and hugged her even tighter. The two of them stuck close to each other, and the temperature of their bodies constantly affected each other.
An Lengyan noticed that Lu Li was hugging her tightly. She puffed up her chest slightly and whispered into his ear, “Don’t worry. There will be a way.”
Lu Li let out a soft grunt. He could no longer notice what she was saying. All his attention was drawn to the softness of her chest.
As time passed, An Lengyan felt her legs go numb from being held in Lu Li’s arms. Lu Li was probably feeling even worse. She quietly moved her body to lessen his burden. She didn’t expect to be pulled back by Lu Li as soon as she moved. He tightened his arms and hugged her even tighter. He didn’t look like he couldn’t bear it.
In that case, An Lengyan relaxed and leaned in his arms comfortably.
Lu Li’s eyes flashed with mirth. When he touched the dirt on her white dress, his gaze deepened. A secret thought rose in his mind.
She was like the moon in the sky to him. She was bright and holy while shining with her own light and illuminating the eyes of those who looked at her. However, he was just the dirt on the ground. He was unworthy of her.
This made him very irritable, but today, he held the moon in his arms. It turned out that as long as the moon was stained with mud, he could have her.
But he could not bear it. He still liked the feeling of her shining in the sky and mesmerizing him.
So… my moon, you must not leave me, or I will go crazy, and then I can only drag you down to the mud with me.
Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Do You Have A Boyfriend
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An Lengyan closed her eyes to rest, but suddenly felt a chill on her back. She subconsciously moved closer to Lu Li and leaned into his arms. This action somehow pleased him and he smiled happily.
It was already late and the thugs had already left. However, Lu Li had no intention of leaving; the girl in his arms had already fallen asleep.
An Lengyan shivered in the night wind. When she woke up, she asked in a low voice, “Are they still here?”
Lu Li answered with an enigmatic look.
An Lengyan muttered, “They’re so persistent.”
She trembled again. Even her nose was turning red from the cold night wind. Lu Li pursed his lips and said, “Okay, they have left.”
While An Lengyan was still drowsy, he carried her out of the stairway. When she was about to come down, he carried her on his back and said a low voice, “Go to sleep. I will take you home.”
Home..
An Lengyan froze for a while. Suddenly, she laughed and put her arms around his neck. She leaned against him. For the first time, she felt that it was nice to depend on someone else. She had never had this kind of support before.
In the cold wind, two figures were walking on the road. The moon elongated their entangled shadows. It was as if it was a sign that the two people were going to be entangled in each other’s lives. They would be entangled and inseparable.
*
An Lengyan woke up from her dreams in a soft quilt. She was startled and opened her eyes to see an familiar room. She was relieved. It seemed that Lu Li had sent her back to the Luo family’s home yesterday.
However, she was also a little surprised. She didn’t expect that she had really fallen asleep on his back. This was not a good sign. She clenched her fists and put away the thoughts that she shouldn’t have. In this life, she had sworn that she would never give her heart to another person. She would never trust anyone again.
She deliberately ignored the discomfort in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she was the cold and indifferent An Lengyan again.
At this time, it was already bright outside. She took out her phone and saw that it was already noon.
Coincidentally, the door was opened by Mrs. Luo. When she saw An Lengyan, who had already woken up, she smiled and said, “Lengyan, you’re awake. Just in time. Quickly pack up and come out to eat.”
An Lengyan saw the strange expression that flashed past Mrs. Luo’s face just now. She felt a little baffled and nodded to indicate that she got it.
After washing up, she went to the dining room. When she saw the serious looks on their faces, she felt even more curious.
She sat down quietly, picked up her chopsticks then put them down. She asked helplessly, “Godfather, godmother, why are you all looking at me?”
Luo Yuntian coughed lightly and nudged Madam Luo with his arm.
Madam Luo looked at him with disdain. Then, she smiled warmly at An Lengyan and asked, “How have you been doing in school recently?”
After all, what happened in school was an internal matter, so no one knew about it. An Lengyan lowered her head slightly. She didn’t want them to worry, so she shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
The smile on Madam Luo’s face grew wider. She said meaningfully, “Gee, we’re not old-fashioned parents. We can accept it.”
Just as she finished speaking, she was nudged by Luo Yuntian again. Luo Yuntian’s face was filled with disapproval, while Madam Luo nudged him back.
The interaction between the two made An Lengyan guess that it wasn’t about her being kicked out of school. Then, what exactly was it about?
Madam Luo had a fiery temper to begin with, so she couldn’t keep her mouth shut. When she saw An Lengyan’s confused expression, she simply said, “Then I’ll be straightforward. Lengyan, do you have a boyfriend at school?”
An Lengyan, who was drinking soy milk, was so shocked by this sentence that she spat it out. She coughed twice and Mrs. Luo quickly handed her a handkerchief, then she said, “Look at you. You’re already so old, yet you’re still so careless. Why didn’t you drink your soy milk slowly?”
An Lengyan rolled her eyes. If it weren’t for her words, she wouldn’t be like this.
“Godmother, what are you thinking about? How could I have a boyfriend?”
Luo Yuntian seemed relieved and he hurriedly said, “That’s what I said. How could that kid be worthy of my daughter yesterday? Lengyan, you’re still young. We’re not in a hurry for you to find a boyfriend. You don’t know, but those men are all very bad.”
Chapter 21: Chapter 21 The Truth Was Revealed
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mrs. Luo glared at him and said, “Then when I was as old as Lengyan, why didn’t you say that I was still young and married me instead?”
Luo Yuntian choked and couldn’t say anything.
Mrs. Luo snorted proudly and looked at Luo Yuntian, who had nothing to say.
An Lengyan shook her head. Seeing that they were still so loving, she was also happy.
Luo Yuntian finally managed to coax his wife, and he said to An Lengyan, “Since the young man who sent you home yesterday is not your boyfriend, I naturally have to express my gratitude. I have already thanked him on your behalf. Next time, don’t come back so late. Otherwise, it will be easy for others to have ulterior motives.”
An Lengyan paused. She naturally knew that he was talking about Lu Li. However, she didn’t know how Lu Li explained the matter of them being together. As for the gratitude that he mentioned, she could guess what it was.
After a long while, she nodded to show that she understood.
Only then did Luo Yuntian nod in satisfaction. His daughter couldn’t be easily snatched away by those bastards outside.
When Mrs. Luo saw that An Lengyan really did not have any special feelings for the boy from yesterday, she no longer felt that gossipy.
An Lengyan received a call from the principal after the meal. He had gone on a business trip and had heard about this matter the moment he returned. He instantly knew that An Lengyan would never do such a thing because he watched this girl grow up, so he was very familiar with her character.
Last night, a video appeared on the school forum, and it soon spread like wildfire. The video clearly recorded the incident of An Tianzhu cutting her own arm and then framing An Lengyan.
This result was something no one had expected. For a moment, An Tianzhu was surrounded by people asking for the truth. An Tianzhu was so scared that she fled back to the An family’s home.
The students at the school were all scolding An Tianzhu. They hated her as much as they liked her in the beginning. They felt guilty towards An Lengyan. They had never thought that it was their own fault. They just wanted to vent their dissatisfaction. Before, it was An Lengyan, but now, it was An Tianzhu.
The cause and effect of this matter was spread to the media. The outside world was curious about the young lady of the An family who was suddenly found. This time, the fight between the An family’s sisters was spread by the reporters.
An Lengyan hung up the principal’s call. She knew who had posted this video. It seemed like Lu Li had taken the bait, so she could move on to the next step.
Her rosy lips curved slightly, but there was a certain indiscernible emotion inside her. She subconsciously ignored the discomfort in her heart.
When she returned to school, she received a welcome and apology from all the students. The entire campus forum was filled with apologies. In the short time it took for the video to be uploaded, everyone’s attitude had changed.
An Lengyan smiled generously and didn’t take this matter to heart. She was still wearing a white dress and she had once again become the goddess in everyone’s hearts.
Lu Li secretly admired her radiant appearance. His hands still seemed to feel the softness of her body, but she didn’t belong to him anymore. This realization made his already gloomy temperament even more gloomy, and he frowned. When he saw her looking over, his eyes lit up.
An Lengyan swept her gaze across his face and turned away, as if she didn’t know him. She was talking to the principal beside her with a smile on her face.
Her smile was beautiful, but it wasn’t for him to see. Lu Li stood at the back and looked at the principal gloomily. What was so good about this old man? Why didn’t she look at him? Why didn’t she smile at him?
A crazy thought flashed through his mind. The students around Lu Li felt a cold aura and couldn’t help but distance themselves from him. In an instant, he was isolated from the others.
Today was the day of the school’s general meeting. The principal had specially criticized some of the students and teachers on stage. They were the ones who had taken the lead in this incident, and their expressions were a little ugly. They were waiting for An Lengyan to give them a way out, but An Lengyan acted as if she did not see them. She stood there with a smile on her face and did not say a word.
The principal felt that it was a little funny. This girl looked gentle, but in fact, she had a backbone. Offending her was not something that could be solved with a simple apology. However, she had always expressed her attitude frankly, so people did not dislike her. Instead, they felt that she was genuine.
Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Punished
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Those who were led by the vice principal blamed An Lengyan for not showing them mercy.
After punishing these people, the principal said, “Although a lot of bad things have happened in the school recently, there is still one student who is worthy of praise, and that is Lu Li.”
“Yesterday, Professor An Lengyan encountered danger on the way home. It was he who stood up to help Professor An and even escorted her home. This is what we should learn from.”
Everyone’s eyes followed the principal’s hand and saw a youth standing in a corner. He had his head down and no one could see his expression. Even when he heard the principal’s praise, he didn’t raise his head. In fact, his gloomy aura deepened. No one could have imagined that such a young man was actually a compassionate young man who was willing to help others.
An Lengyan’s eyes narrowed slightly. She had told the principal this today. She had already realized that her feelings were somewhat out of control. She had not expected to develop feelings for this young man. Since she had already discovered it, it was better to stop the damage in time.
She knew that the young man would be angry after the principal finished his sentence.
Sure enough, the principal continued, “Lu Li, please come up on stage. President Luo has specially sent you a gift to thank you for saving his daughter.”
Lu Li slowly walked onto the stage. The young man walked very slowly, but his composed demeanor impressed everyone. Even the principal nodded in satisfaction. He hadn’t noticed that there was such a good student in the school before. Just based on his bearing, in the future, this child wouldn’t be ordinary.
The principal handed him an envelope. Lu Li took it and held it in his hand. The thick touch made him instantly realize what it was. He looked down at An Lengyan angrily. She actually gave him money?
What was the meaning of this?
Was she trying to draw a clear line with him?
An Lengyan didn’t dodge. She smiled at him, as if she didn’t notice anything wrong, or perhaps she didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
This realization made Lu Li smirk. He didn’t wait for the principal to finish his sentence and walked off the stage. When he passed An Lengyan, he stopped in his tracks. The envelope in his hand creaked as he suddenly approached her ear. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Professor An, thank you so much for the reward.”
After he left, An Lengyan realized that her palms were covered in cold sweat. The young man’s behavior just now made her heart palpitate. She felt like something was out of control.
She did not dare to return to the dormitory to rest. Instead, she returned to the Luo family.
After a few days of peace, An Lengyan also felt relieved. She felt that she would not be able to complete the task God gave her. That young man… was somewhat different. She did not dare to get close to him anymore. She was afraid that things would get out of control.
She had not completed what she wanted to do, so she could not make any mistakes.
The computer chimed again. There was a new email. She opened it and saw that it was from her teacher.
“How is it going?”
An Lengyan hesitated for a moment and replied, “I’m sorry, teacher. I might have to give up on this mission.”
Soon, a new email arrived.
“Is it too difficult? It doesn’t matter. I’ve sent people to look for him, but they’ve all failed. Let’s just forget about it.”
An Lengyan looked at the computer screen and slowly closed the email page. Her expression was cold, but no one knew what she was thinking.
She felt an itch at her feet and a mechanical mosquito was gently rubbing her toes. An Lengyan then realized that she had forgotten about it. Since she had decided to put this plan on hold for the time being, she looked at the mosquito and coldly reached out her hand.
On the other end, Lu Li’s computer screen suddenly shook, and then the figure on it disappeared. A black screen reflected Lu Li’s face. He looked at his distorted face and suddenly smiled in an unhinged manner. She had brought this upon herself.
An Lengyan came to school on time and began to secretly investigate who the An family’s backer was . However, after so long, she had already used the teacher’s connections in the capital, but she still couldn’t find out.
In this situation, either the An family’s backer wasn’t in the capital at all, or the other party’s strength was beyond their expectations. An Lengyan was more inclined to the latter. The fear in her heart deepened, and she was more careful.
The An family suddenly wanted to hold a banquet. An Lengyan raised her eyebrows slightly when she received An Zhiyao’s call. Ever since An Tianzhu’s scandal spread, the An family had been silent. This was the first time they had taken the initiative to contact her.
Chapter 23: Chapter 23 The An Family’s Banquet
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Banquet? She didn’t know what the An family was planning, but An Zhiyao specifically told her to dress up well, as if he was going to gift-wrap her as a beautiful present.
An Lengyan was walking back to her office while thinking about the An family, so she didn’t notice the changes in her surroundings for a moment. It was too quiet, and a large hand suddenly pulled her into the boys’ bathhouse.
She wanted to scream, but someone covered her mouth from behind. An Lengyan was pressed against the wall, and the cold surface of the wall stimulated her skin. There was a low panting sound coming from behind her, and she could only tell that it was a man.
The man’s hand reached into the hem of her clothes. When the warm palm touched her skin, she trembled slightly. Her hands were restrained, so she could only use her shoulders to bump him. However, she was suppressed by a stronger force.
The man took off her coat and tied it to her hands. He opened the shower in the bathhouse. The warm water wet her body and blurred her eyes. The wet clothes could not cover her curves at all. She could hear the sound of breathing by her ears gradually becoming heavier.
“Professor An’s figure is really sexy,” a man’s disguised voice sounded.
An Lengyan was embarrassed and indignant. The man behind her seemed to feel that it was not enough. He covered her eyes with a piece of gauze. Her body was turned over, and he kissed her. The water from the shower continuously splattered the two of them. The sound of splashing water during the kiss made the atmosphere even more amorous.
An Lengyan almost lost her balance from the kiss. She could only rely on the man to stabilize herself.
The man chuckled. “Professor An, why are you in such a hurry to throw yourself into my arms?”
“Bastard, you –” An Lengyan was furious. She opened her mouth to scold him, but he blocked it again. She could only whimper.
The man seemed to be in a bad mood. He kissed her harder and harder, as if he wanted to swallow her tongue. An Lengyan was forced to endure it. She could only feel numbness in her mouth.
The man finally let go of her when she was about to faint. He left her body and said, “You taste good. I’ll try it again.”
Accompanied by the man’s deep laughter, An Lengyan was thrown to the ground. Her hands had been untied.
An Lengyan regained some strength. She untied the gauze on her eyes. There was no sign of the man around her. Only the open shower and her slightly aching lips reminded her that everything that had happened just now was real.
The voice of a student came from outside the bathhouse. She had no choice but to hold onto the wall and quickly walk out. Her legs were weak and she fell to the ground as soon as she walked out of the bathhouse. A pair of black sports shoes came into view.
She looked up and saw Lu Li looking at her with a cold expression. Lu Li mocked, “I didn’t expect Professor An to have the habit of sneaking into the men’s bathhouse.”
An Lengyan looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. She had originally suspected that the man was him, but when she looked at the dry clothes on his body, she felt that it wasn’t him. It was impossible for him to have time to change in such a short period of time and then appear next to her.
Lu Li noticed her gaze and frowned. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
After An Lengyan regained her strength, she pushed him away coldly and said, “It has nothing to do with you.”
After she finished speaking, she left the place. She was trying to guess who the person was. He called her Professor An, which meant that he should be from the school, but there was no other information.
She could only endure it. She wiped her lips hard, and the pain on her lips made her frown slightly.
*
On the day of the An family’s banquet, An Lengyan changed into a sea-blue gown. The sparkling diamonds on it showed that the gown was expensive. As she walked, the hem of the gown that had grown to the ground drew a beautiful arc.
She got out of the car and stood outside the An family’s villa. This time, the An family had set the location of the banquet at the An family’s villa.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone at the entrance. An Lengyan ignored the gazes of the surrounding people, who were either scrutinizing or amazed. She walked past the crowd in her high heels and walked in. Along the way, the people who were awed by her stepped aside and opened up a path for her to pass through.
After she entered, she saw the An family’s couple with An Tianzhu and An Tianyang at the center. They were surrounded by the An family’s business partners. It seemed like An Zhiyao was preparing to put An Tianyang and An Tianzhu into the spotlight. However, this also depended on whether she was willing to let them fulfill their wishes.
Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Treated As A Gift
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The moment An Lengyan entered the room, she caused a commotion. Many people who knew her came over to curry favor with her because of the Luo family. In an instant, the people surrounding the An family all gathered around An Lengyan.
Ruan Li and An Tianzhu’s expressions were a little unsightly. An Tianzhu’s plan had failed, while Ruan Li looked at An Lengyan’s face. In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she was overshadowed by her mother’s beauty, An Lengyan’s face, which resembled her grandmother’s, truly made her dislike her.
An Tianyang’s expression was much more complicated. He was worried that An Lengyan would become his opponent in the future when they fought over the family assets. Recently, he had already entered the company and started to get involved with the company’s matters. His heart no longer fluttered when he saw her pretty face. All that was left was scheming and plotting.
As for An Zhiyao, he looked toward a room on the second floor. The bodyguard standing at the door nodded at him and it made him ecstatic.
An Lengyan observed An Zhiyao’s expression as she dealt with these people. Naturally, she noticed the room on the second floor. Who exactly was in the room?
The An family’s head had already come down for the banquet, but as a guest, he still stayed in the room. It seemed like this person was a big shot.
Could he be the backer of the An family in the capital?
This conjecture made her perk up at this boring banquet.
An Zhiyao walked over to her with Ruan Li. He smiled lovingly and said, “Lengyan, come here. I’ll introduce you to an uncle.”
An Lengyan guessed his intentions. She felt disgusted, but she still cooperated with him. She also wanted to know who this person was and whether things were like what she had guessed.
An Lengyan smiled and held her father’s hand like a naughty child. She asked, “Which uncle?”
An Zhiyao patted her hand and said, “You’ll know when you see him.”
The father and daughter had different thoughts. On the surface, they seemed to be getting along well.
An Tianzhu was also curious. Just now, she saw a man surrounded by bodyguards go upstairs and then never leave the room again. She was very dissatisfied with the big shot that her father had only introduced to An Lengyan. She secretly asked Ruan Li, “Who’s he?” Who was that person?
However, the cautious An Zhiyao didn’t even tell Ruan Li, so she didn’t know either. This piqued An Tianzhu’s curiosity even more, so she secretly followed them upstairs.
An Tianyang saw her, but didn’t stop her. After all, they were in the An family’s home, so there wouldn’t be any trouble. However, he didn’t expect that because of his indulgence, An Tianzhu would go down the deep.
An Lengyan followed An Zhiyao up to the second floor. Only then did she see that there were more than twenty bodyguards guarding the door. They had almost surrounded the entire second floor. She couldn’t help but click her tongue. How badly did this person cherish his life?!
An Zhiyao respectfully called out from the door, “Master Lin.”
A voice came from inside. The deep voice sounded aged. It didn’t seem like he was at the age of an uncle, as An Zhiyao mentioned.
However, at this moment, An Zhiyao couldn’t care less about An Lengyan’s mood. After hearing the reply from the person inside, he excitedly pulled An Lengyan’s arm and walked inside. In the dimly lit room, a man could be seen sitting at the innermost corner. His gray hair revealed his age.
The man turned around and stared straight at An Lengyan’s face with a pair of aged and turbid eyes. He said with fascination, “She looks like her. She really looks like her.”
An Zhiyao said with a smile, “Master Lin, this is my daughter An Lengyan. I’ve specially brought her here for you to take a look.”
The two men understood what he meant by ‘take a look’. Master Lin didn’t even look at An Zhiyao and directly waved him out. An Zhiyao gritted his teeth and summoned up his courage to ask, “Then what about the Lin family’s business in the country this time?”
Master Lin looked at him unhappily with a cold gaze. “Are you negotiating with me?”
An Zhiyao shuddered and broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly said, “I don’t dare to. I don’t dare to. I’ll go out now. Enjoy yourself.”
An Lengyan stood where she was and endured this old man’s wretched gaze. An Zhiyao actually left without her. When she wanted to leave, she found that was locked in the room.
She stretched out her hand and pulled on the door, but found that she couldn’t open it at all.
A cold aura came from behind her, and a creepy voice rang out. “Your father sold you to me. You’d better be obedient.”
An Lengyan turned around and almost bumped into Master Lin, who had stood behind her at some point in time.
At close range, there was a scar on one of Master Lin’s eyes, and it made him look even more terrifying. He stretched out his wrinkled hand to grab An Lengyan, but she dodged it in a flash.
Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Rescued
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Master Lin was not in a hurry. He smiled as he approached her once again. However, he was already old and his movements were slow. After a few mishaps, he gradually became impatient. He frowned and said, “Come here, or else I won’t be polite.”
An Lengyan stood in the distance and replied indifferently, “How so?”
Master Lin’s gaze hardened and he threatened, “If you listen obediently, I will naturally compensate the An family. If not, I can’t guarantee that the An family won’t suffer a blow.”
An Lengyan’s eyes lit up, and she pretended to be distressed as she approached him and asked, “Is that so?”
Master Lin saw that the fish had taken the bait, and he excitedly reached out with both hands to hug her. He forgot that his body was old and shriveled, and his excitement made his chest rise and fall.
An Lengyan thought that he might die from the excitement.
The closer she got towards him, the bigger An Lengyan’s smile became. She picked up a vase and smashed it on Master Lin’s head. He instantly lost his balance and fell onto the sofa. However, he still opened his eyes and looked at An Lengyan angrily.
An Lengyan felt that he was actually quite healthy. She sneered and said, “Remember, I hit you. If there’s anything, our An family will take it.” It would be best if he killed the An family directly. She would thank his entire family.
She added the last sentence silently in her heart.
The loud sound attracted the attention of the bodyguards at the door. They knocked on the door, and a seductive voice came from inside, “Master Lin, you’re hurting me!”
This voice made the bodyguards at the door subconsciously swallow hard. They felt that their master was quite vigorous despite his old age and had quite some tricks up his sleeves. They retreated because they were afraid that they would disturb their master.
An Lengyan cleared her throat. The way she pinched her throat just now was really uncomfortable.
Master Lin, who was on the sofa, gradually recovered. He glared at her fiercely and said, “I’ll settle this with the An family properly.”
An Lengyan seemed to be afraid that he would not die from anger. She tied him up with a rope and continued to provoke him, “Sure, if you can live until then.”
As expected, Master Lin was so angry that he gasped for air again.
An Lengyan observed the environment of the room and walked to the window while thinking about the possibility of jumping down. When she lowered her head, she saw a group of bodyguards standing underground. They were all brought by Master Lin.
She observed the bodyguards underground and did not see Master Lin behind her pressing a button on his watch. All the bodyguards received the order and immediately headed upstairs with serious expressions.
An Lengyan saw that the bodyguards had suddenly gone somewhere. When she turned around, she saw that Master Lin looked fearless. She realized that there must be some secret method of communication between them.
The situation instantly became critical. However, the strange thing was that the bodyguards downstairs were already heading upstairs, but the bodyguards at the door did not move.
An Lengyan quietly approached the door and waited for the opportunity to rush out.
The door was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in to drag An Lengyan out of the room. Outside, An Lengyan realized that the bodyguards at the door had collapsed to the ground. She didn’t know if they were dead or alive. Was that why they didn’t enter the room immediately?
The bodyguards downstairs had already rushed up, and the entire banquet was in chaos.
An Lengyan was dragged out by someone who quickly fled to another room. Master Lin, who had been rescued, flew into a rage. The moment he stepped out of the door, he bumped into An Tianzhu, who was at the door.
An Tianzhu, who was sitting in a corner to observe, didn’t expect that her bodyguards would mistake her for An Lengyan and capture her.
An Zhiyao came up in fear. He saw the wound on Master Lin’s head and An Tianzhu lying on the ground in fear. An Lengyan had disappeared. This made his expression look terrible.
After An Lengyan and Lu Li hid in another room, Lu Li quickly opened the window and jumped out. He reached out his hand to An Lengyan and said, “Quick, leave with me.”
An Lengyan looked at his face and in the next second, she put her hand in his.
Lu Li hugged her tightly and jumped down from the second floor. The front yard was noisy, but the back yard was quiet. However, they didn’t dare to stay too long because they would be able to figure out their escape route soon.
As soon as Lu Li and An Lengyan climbed over the wall and escaped from the An family’s house, Master Lin’s bodyguards discovered the window they escaped from.
Lu Li drove off in a random direction with An Lengyan.
After they got into the car, Lu Li didn’t say anything. An Lengyan looked at his side profile. Because his hair, which had been soaked with sweat, had been carelessly pulled back by Lu Li, his whole face was revealed. Under the moonlight, he looked even more handsome.
Chapter 26: Chapter 26 What Do You Mean?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An Lengyan suddenly asked, “How did you end up in the An family’s home?”
Lu Li looked at her but didn’t answer.
However, An Lengyan understood that it was because of her.
She suddenly laughed and Lu Li looked at her in confusion. An Lengyan turned around and kissed him on the forehead.
Lu Li suddenly turned the steering wheel and the car almost crashed into a nearby tree. This action made An Lengyan laugh again. She laughed louder and louder, and her laughter rang throughout the night.
This became the best memory of the two of them. They were at their most innocent age.
The car drove all the way to the beach. This was the most popular place for dates between young people.
Lu Li stopped the car and pressed her down on the passenger seat. He did what he had wanted to do for a long time.
An Lengyan was suffocated by the kiss and realized that he couldn’t be flirted with.
After the kiss, Lu Li pressed his forehead against her forehead and said fiercely, “What do you mean by this?”
An Lengyan chuckled, as if she didn’t understand, and asked, “Nothing.”
Lu Li’s gaze deepened. He looked at her lips with desire and sadism.
The pain on her lips made An Lengyan cower. She quickly said, “I’m just kidding. I’m just kidding.”
Lu Li didn’t move. He waited for her answer stubbornly.
An Lengyan sighed and said, “Lu Li, you can be my boyfriend.”
Lu Li’s eyes lit up. Like a puppy seeing its owner, his eyes sparkled. In an instant, the gloomy temperament that was unique to him disappeared. The smile on his face became more sincere. He lowered his head and kissed her again.
An Lengyan didn’t want to be outdone. Smacking sounds could be heard in the car. The dim environment made the atmosphere even more amorous. By the time An Lengyan came back to her senses, half of her dress had been taken off and it was hanging loosely on her body.
The embellishments that were meant to show off extravagance gave off a different vibe now. Lu Li was amazed by the beauty in front of him. He held his breath and then leaned over to her neck to take a big bite.
“Hiss –” An Lengyan stepped back in pain.
Lu Li let go and licked the bite marks that he had made. The faint smell of blood spread in the air. It was enough to show how hard he had bitten.
“Are you a dog? Why did you bite me?” An Lengyan took a deep breath and asked.
Lu Li squinted his eyes and said in a cold voice, “This is evidence. You are mine. If you dare to betray me, I will swallow you. Then we will be together forever.”
An Lengyan’s heart skipped a beat. Oh my God, this young man was more terrifying than she thought.
However, her eyes flashed and she said, “Is that so? Then I want it too.” As soon as she finished her words, she hugged Lu Li’s neck and bit him, as if she was venting her anger.
Lu Li didn’t react at all. He even smiled and indulged her.
An Lengyan bit him until her teeth were sore. Seeing that the man didn’t react at all, she pursed her lips and let go. Looking at the wounds on him, she couldn’t help but wonder, did this man not feel pain?
The two of them spent some time together before Lu Li carried her out of the car. An Lengyan wanted to walk, but Lu Li patted her gently and told her not to move.
An Lengyan then realized that the ground was covered in sand. She was wearing high heels, so she really couldn’t walk. She didn’t expect this young man to be so careful.
Lu Li carried her to a rock on the beach and sat her down. An Lengyan looked up and saw blue lights flickering on the surface of the sea in the distance. They looked like dancing little fairies. It was very beautiful!
Lu Li held her hand and sat next to her. The two of them didn’t say anything and quietly enjoyed the beautiful night.
They had a peaceful life on their side, but the An family was having a hard time on the other side.
Master Lin had nowhere to vent his anger since he could not catch An Lengyan. When he saw an Tianzhu sitting on the ground, his eyes lit up.
He walked up to her, pinched her chin and looked at her face. He said with disdain, “You don’t even have one-tenth of your sister’s beauty.”
An Tianzhu, who was still a little scared, felt angry when she heard this. She hated An Lengyan the most, especially when others said that she was not as pretty as An Lengyan. How could a country bumpkin be better looking than her?
The anger in her heart made her temporarily forget her fear of Master Lin. She puffed out her chest and looked at him while proudly showing off her D-cup breasts. This was what she was most proud of.

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 The An Family’s Retribution
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Master Lin’s gaze was also successfully drawn to her. He reached out his hand and grabbed her breast in a lecherous manner.
An Tianzhu was scared out of her wits. She felt that the hand on her breast was disgusting and struggled violently. Master Lin, who was feeling the soft touch of her breast, gave her a slap.
Master Lin let go of her and said with a laugh, “Bring her in.”
An Zhiyao and Ruan Li’s expressions changed. They couldn’t just watch their daughter get raped. Everyone in the capital knew that Master Lin was sadistic in bed, and very few women could survive it.
“Master Lin, my youngest daughter has a heart condition. I’m afraid she won’t be able to let you enjoy yourself to the fullest. I’ll find you a woman right away. I guarantee she’ll be the most beautiful woman,” An Zhiyao said anxiously.
Master Lin sneered. “What woman do I want that I can’t get? I want to play with the An family’s daughter today. Do you agree or not?”
An Zhiyao was intimidated by the threatening look in his eyes. He knew that if he dared to say no, the An family would go bankrupt.
Master Lin looked at An Zhiyao, who was no longer speaking. He sneered and brought An Tianzhu back to the room.
An Tianzhu yelled, “Dad, save me! Mom, Brother, please save me!” But in the end, she was still dragged into the room.
Ruan Li sat on the floor and cried out loud. She pulled An Zhiyao and scolded, “It’s all because of you. If it weren’t for you, my daughter wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
An Zhiyao was also filled with regret.
However, neither of them had ever thought that if it had been An Lengyan who encountered all of this, they wouldn’t have been so sad, but An Lengyan was also their biological daughter.
The An family had brought this upon themselves, but An Lengyan didn’t expect that this would cause her a lot of trouble too.
The next day, An Lengyan returned to school and stood in the classroom. In the first row, there sat a person that no one had expected. Lu Li, who had always sat in the corner by the window, sat in the first row for the first time. Throughout the entire class, he had been staring at Professor An’s face.
The students looked back and forth between the two of them. They felt like there was something off with them today.
An Lengyan gave him a warning look. They had agreed to keep their relationship a secret last night. After all, she was still a professor at the school, so it wouldn’t be good for rumors of a teacher-student relationship to spread.
Lu Li had promised her yesterday, but she didn’t expect him to give her a big surprise today.
Lu Li curled his lips into a smile. This smile made the students gasp, especially the girls. They couldn’t hide their infatuation anymore and approached him.
Lu Li knew what attracted An Lengyan to him. He had cut off his long hair to reveal his full forehead and side profile. He looked more handsome and less gloomy. He gave off a cold and arrogant air because of his handsome looks.
An Lengyan chuckled in a way that was very different from her usual gentle smile. Just then, a beam of light shone on their faces.
The students quickly took out their phones and took a photo. From then on, the photo that dominated the Imperial University’s Campus Forum for decades was born.
The young woman on the podium looked at the young man in the seat with a pair of bright eyes, while the young man smiled dotingly. This scene made the students in the class guess that something must have happened between these two people.
An Lengyan glared at him, got up and left the classroom.
Just as she walked into the academic building, there was the same silence, which made An Lengyan feel uneasy.
A large hand suddenly appeared and dragged her into the boys’ bathhouse. It was the same situation and in the same place. An Lengyan was blindfolded and pressed against the cold wall.
The man’s breath came from behind her. He gently bit her earlobe and asked, “Professor An, you seem to like that kid called Lu Li. What’s your relationship with him?”
He knew Lu Li?!
Could he be someone from class?
An Lengyan was speculating inside, but her distraction made the man unhappy. He bit her hard, causing her to cry out in pain.
The man was even more aroused. He wrapped his arms around her waist and said, “Professor An not only has a nice voice when lecturing, but you also have a nice voice when moaning.”
An Lengyan tried her best to ignore the hand on her body and asked coldly, “Who are you?”
The man chuckled and said, “Don’t waste your time. I won’t let you know.”
An Lengyan mocked, “Are you too ashamed?”
Chapter 28: Chapter 28 The Mysterious Man
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This sentence angered the man. He tore open her shirt and bit her neck. A large hand reached toward her lower body, but An Lengyan, who was anxious and embarrassed, tried her best to stop him.
Fortunately, the man did not continue to move. He left a few hickeys on An Lengyan’s neck and left.
An Lengyan was thrown to the ground. She untied the gauze on her eyes. The shirt on her body had been crumpled, so she could only take a short path back to the dormitory to change her clothes.
When she came to the bathroom, she sat under the shower and let the water wash over her body. She was filled with grief and indignation, but she was more preoccupied with thinking about who it was and what his motive was?
Even An Lengyan was surprised that she could analyze this matter so calmly.
As she looked at herself in the mirror, the obvious hickeys and teeth marks on her neck made her frown slightly. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly remembered what Lu Li had said after biting her neck, “This is evidence.”
Evidence?! Were these men all the same?
How childish!
If she found out who he was, she would kill him herself.
An Lengyan clenched her fists and her face was filled with anger. This was the first time in her life that she had felt so wronged.
The doorbell suddenly rang outside the door.
An Lengyan put on her clothes and carefully checked her neck to make sure that no marks were exposed before she opened the door.
Lu Li stood at the door with a bag in his hand. The familiar scene made An Lengyan raise her eyebrows and ask, “Are you going to cook for me again?”
The memory of the red braised meat he cooked last time was still fresh in her mind. She didn’t want to taste it again.
Lu Li clearly remembered that day’s embarrassing incident. He looked a little embarrassed, but he still said confidently, “Don’t worry. I will definitely let you eat the red braised meat you like.”
An Lengyan had given up hope when she heard that he was going to cook red braised meat, but she didn’t discourage him. She moved aside and let him in.
Lu Li looked at her eyes, then suddenly looked at her neck and asked, “Why is your ear red?”
An Lengyan quickly covered it with her hand and giggled. “I think it’s a mosquito bite. There seem to be a lot of mosquitoes recently.”
Lu Li didn’t doubt her words. He nodded and said, “I’ll buy some mosquito repellent for you this afternoon.”
An Lengyan felt guilty. Although it wasn’t her fault, she still felt guilty for betraying him.
Just as she was feeling relieved, she heard Lu Li ask again, “Why do I feel like you were relieved just now? Are you hiding something from me?”
An Lengyan tensed up and faced Lu Li’s questioning gaze. She took the initiative and said, “You’re thinking too much. What could I hide from you? And you, if you dare to do anything to me in class again, I will not let you off.”
Lu Li didn’t doubt her anymore and turned to go to the kitchen.
Seeing that he had really left, An Lengyan let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to hide it from him, but she didn’t know how to tell him. If he knew about this, he would definitely go crazy.
In the kitchen, Lu Li was sorting out the ingredients and humming happily. There was a clear smile on his face, and he was much more skilled than before.
An Lengyan heard him say that food was ready. She came to the dining room and saw a plate of braised pork on the table. It looked good and smelled good. She asked in surprise, “This is… what you made?”
Lu Li nodded and said with smug expression, as if he wanted praise, “Does it taste good?”
An Lengyan picked up a piece with her chopsticks and her eyes lit up. The taste was exactly the same as that of her favorite restaurant.
She couldn’t believe it and went to the kitchen to check. She wondered if he had ordered takeout. Last time, he had made a plate of charcoal, so it was impossible for him to develop such good cooking skills in such a short time.
The kitchen was very clean and there was no takeout box.
An Lengyan looked at him in surprise and asked, “Did you lie to me last time?” This was the only explanation she could think of.
Lu Li rubbed his head and told her about how he had hacked into the restaurant’s surveillance camera and secretly learned about it.
An Lengyan laughed and mocked him, “You actually hacked into a restaurant’s surveillance camera? That’s ridiculous.”
Lu Li said seriously, “I’ll cook whatever you like. In the future, you can only eat my braised meat.”
After he finished speaking, An Lengyan stopped laughing and looked at him with a complicated expression. She didn’t know why, but she suddenly wanted to escape. She didn’t want to face him like this. His feelings for her exceeded her expectations.
Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The An Family’s Backer
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Let’s eat quickly, or the food will get cold,” An Lengyan didn’t reply to him, but changed the topic.
Lu Li’s eyes flashed with disappointment.
After the meal, An Lengyan sat on the sofa in Lu Li’s arms and watched TV. The two of them didn’t speak, but the atmosphere was good.
The phone rang. An Lengyan paused for a moment, then picked up the phone on the table and answered it. An Tianzhu’s voice rang.
“An Lengyan, come back tonight. We have something to talk about.”
An Lengyan answered and hung up the phone. She was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows. What was going on?
Why was An Tianzhu so assured this time?
An Lengyan left Lu Li’s arms. He frowned and asked, “What is it?”
An Lengyan didn’t notice his expression. She just shook her head and said, “I have something to do today. I can’t accompany you. You can go back first.”
Lu Li didn’t say anything. When she turned around, she saw Lu Li’s unhappy expression. She shrugged innocently and said with a smile, “I have no choice.”
Lu Li leaned over and kissed her forehead, then left the dormitory.
An Lengyan touched the remaining warmth on her forehead. She had a bad feeling about this. This youth seemed to have put too much effort into her. Things were gradually getting out of her control. After a long while, she finally suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. Her gaze was no longer as shy as before, when she faced the young man. Her gaze looked cold.
That night, she returned to the An family’s home as promised. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the family of four sitting in the dining room.
An Zhiyao said with a cold expression, “Do you still have any sense of propriety? How can a junior make elders wait for you?”
His attitude made An Lengyan raise her eyebrows. She looked at An Tianzhu, who was gloating at An Zhiyao’s misfortune, and she pondered about the reason.
“I’m sorry. You didn’t inform me of the time,” she said matter-of-factly as she walked in with a cold expression.
When she got closer, she unceremoniously sat on the seat to An Zhiyao’s left. This was the seat she had been sitting in ever since she returned to the An family’s home.
An Zhiyao’s expression darkened at her words. He said, “Is this seat somewhere you can sit? Switch with Tianzhu.”
An Tianzhu had already stood up from her seat and stood behind An Lengyan while proudly waiting for her to give up her seat. She was here today to humiliate her, and she didn’t think it was enough, so she continued, “Your room has been renovated. However, I’m the one living in that room now. You should find another room to stay in.”
This scene was similar to the scene when An Lengyan had just returned to the An family’s home. However, the winner this time was An Tianzhu.
The two of them stood very close to each other. An Lengyan saw that her skin was unintentionally exposed. The red marks on her skin were clearly hickeys and there were even faint whiplash marks. She sneered. “It seems like my sister had a very good night yesterday. Congratulations.”
An Tianzhu’s expression darkened and her body trembled slightly. Master Lin was simply inhumane in bed. He had all sorts of perverted methods. Whenever she recalled what had happened last night, she was terrified. If not for the hatred in her heart supporting her, she had even thought that she would die on the bed.
But now, she had gained Master Lin’s favor. With his help, An Lengyan was nothing!
“Tianzhu isn’t like you. You ran away when the An family was in a crisis. Did you know that because of your willfulness, the An family almost ceased to exist yesterday?!” An Zhiyao stood up abruptly as he pointed at An Lengyan angrily and scolded her.
An Lengyan didn’t cower and she sneered. “What a joke. A father sends his daughter to an old man’s bed. If the An family can only survive by this method, the An family might as well die.”
An Zhiyao was so angry that he covered his chest and pointed at her while unable to speak.
Ruan Li, who was at the side, quickly supported him and helped him breathe. Then, she looked at her with hatred. “If it weren’t for you, your sister wouldn’t have suffered so much. She has a heart condition. How could you be so heartless? I really regret having you.”
“You brought this upon yourselves. If it weren’t for An Zhiyao’s greed, how could such a thing have happened? It was you guys who wanted to betray me, so this happened to An Tianzhu.”
Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Interrogation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What a joke! An Tianzhu is your daughter? I’m not? Why can’t she do it, but I have to do it?!”
An Lengyan couldn’t hold it in any longer and questioned. She had wanted to ask this question in her previous life. Why were they so biased? Why could they exchange her life for An Tianzhu’s life so easily?
It was the same in her previous life, and it was the same in this life. Could it be that just because An Tianzhu had a heart condition, just because she was healthy, and just because she was the older sister, she had to be willing to contribute to her younger sister?
Ruan Li was frightened by her question and her expression was a little awkward.
An Lengyan did not want to hear their answer either. She stood up abruptly and walked out of the door. The moment she stepped out of the door, she said, “Since the An family doesn’t need me, I won’t be an eyesore here. From now on, we are no longer a family. The Luo family’s funds will be withdrawn within three days. I hope that you have prepared in advance.”
After she finished speaking, she heaved a sigh of relief the moment she stepped out of the An family. Her eyes were slightly red. Such emotions should not appear in her. She touched her chest and said silently, “Didn’t you already know the nature of that family? Why are you still sad? It’s not worth it…”
She pursed her lips and concealed her fragile look. She only wanted revenge.
The image of a young man flashed across her mind. She subconsciously ignored it and told herself once again that she only lived for revenge!
“Wait!” A voice sounded from behind her.
An Lengyan stopped in her tracks and turned around to see An Tianyang chasing after her. Her expression was still calm, as if she was not interested in his purpose of coming.
An Tianyang’s emotions were a little mixed. He had chased after her on impulse, wo he did not know what to say after calling out to her.
He said impulsively, “Now that the An family has Master Lin’s support, we don’t need the Luo family anymore.”
An Lengyan had already expected this outcome. She had confirmed this matter when the An family didn’t stop her from leaving, but she remained calm and asked, “So what?”
An Tianyang frowned and looked at her. “You’re so smart, so how could you not have thought of it? You should just admit your mistake and return to the An family. Do you really think that you can rely on the Luo family for a lifetime? Once the Luo family has their own child, what will you do?”
An Lengyan suddenly approached him and pressed him against the wall under the dim streetlights.
An Tianyang was stunned by her sudden action. Her charming face that was right in front of him made his imagination run wild. A hint of bitterness secretly rose in his heart. The first girl that he fell for was actually his sister.
An Lengyan sneered at first, then her eyes became filled with sorrow. She said, “So what even if I return to the An family? The Luo family can’t protect me for my whole life, but can the An family do it?”
“I have always been the daughter of the An family, but what have I gained? It has been eighteen years. Do you know what kind of life I have lived alone in the countryside? Do you know that my greatest wish was to survive every day? Do you know that I had to pick up trash every day to fill my stomach?”
“You don’t know. How could a young master who lives in luxury imagine such a life? But this was my life for eighteen years.”
“You’re right. The Luo family can not protect me forever, but they won’t covet my things.”
An Lengyan pointed her finger at his heart. Her slender finger actually caused him to feel a sharp pain in his heart. An unbearable sense of anguish spread through his heart. Before he could understand what kind of pain it was, she had already left.
An Tianyang’s mind was on An Lengyan’s tearful eyes before she left. They were filled with sorrow and desolation.
He was shocked. So she knew. She knew the reason why the An family had picked her up. So how did she feel when she saw them these past few days?

An Lengyan was dead, but it didn’t seem like she was dead.
She saw herself floating out of a bloody body before rising higher and higher.
In mid-air, she saw a group of people quickly surrounding her.
Her body was lying in a pool of blood, and her eyes were wide open as she stared straight at the roof that she fell from.
She died with regrets —
All kinds of exclamations reached her ears, “Someone has committed suicide.”
They called the police in a panic, then she saw a family of four rushing over.
An Lengyan’s expression changed. She didn’t commit suicide. She was pushed down… by someone.
An Tianzhu!
An Lengyan was so angry that she wanted to roar. Only then did she realize that she had turned into a ghost.
She couldn’t make a sound, nor could she touch anything. She could only move around the corpse.
The An family quickly sent her to the hospital, but they didn’t want to save her. They wanted to make sure that her heart was still intact.
She saw her parents scolding An Tianzhu.
However, it wasn’t because their youngest daughter had killed their eldest daughter, but because they were worried that An Tianzhu wasn’t careful enough and was seen by others.
She saw her younger brother, An Tianyang, hugging the crying An Tianzhu while comforting her.
An Tianzhu, who was clearly a murderer, was protected and consoled. She couldn’t help but try to strangle her with both hands, but she could only watch helplessly as her hands pierced through.
There was nothing she could do!
Suddenly, she heard An Tianyang say coldly, “Didn’t we bring her back because Tianzhu needed her heart for a transplant?”
Their parents didn’t reprimand her. They looked at An Tianzhu lovingly and said, “Tianzhu will be a healthy child in the future.”
The family of four cried tears of joy.
..
An Lengyan suddenly burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that tears were coming out of her eyes. So that was it. So that was it. Hahahaha..
Her eyes were filled with intense hatred.
I’m also your daughter.
I’m also your sister.
Why?!
Why did you do this to me..
An Lengyan’s eyes were filled with hatred. A black bag spread out from between her brows and surrounded her completely.
A soft cry rang out.
She was sucked into a strange space. Her vision turned black, and she felt as if someone had whispered something into her ear. Then, she fainted. When she woke up again, she found that she had been reborn…
*
The An family’s parents sat at home while waiting for the people sent to the countryside to bring their eldest daughter back. They didn’t expect to receive a phone call saying that An Lengyan had left the countryside five years ago. No one knew where she had gone.
On the other side, at the entrance of Imperial University, the President, who always had a straight face, was smiling for the first time today. He stood at the school gate and looked around, as if he was waiting for someone.
This scene made the students who came and went to freeze in shock. The usually stern president was suddenly smiling. They really weren’t used to it.
A low-key black sports car suddenly stopped a distance away from the school gate.
The driver said, “I’m sorry, Miss, there’s a kitten blocking the road ahead.”

An Lengyan looked up and saw a white kitten lying on the road. Its round eyes were filled with panic.
“It’s okay. I’ll get out of the car and take a look.”
When the car stopped, the principal saw them. He couldn’t wait any longer and immediately went over to welcome them.
The curious students also looked over. First, they saw a pair of exquisite black leather shoes. Then, they saw a long white dress. When the girl’s figure was completely revealed, they couldn’t help but gasp.
The girl walked straight to the side of the kitten that was blocking the road. Only then did she see that there were bloodstains on its legs.
She had her back facing everyone, and her face had a smile, but her voice was filled with worry. She said, “How pitiful. Your leg is injured. Let me bring you to the hospital.”
She didn’t mind that the stains on the kitten’s body would stain her clothes. She picked it up gently and turned around to walk towards the school.
Under the sunlight, the kitten obediently snuggled into the girl’s arms. The girl’s countenance looked serene, while her fair skin was fair and clear. Her facial features were exquisite, and her long black hair that reached her waist fluttered gently in the breeze. She and the kitten in her arms looked over at the same time. Her dark eyes were crystal-clear, and they felt as if they had seen an angel.
