The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

An Lian trembled all over, with a complicated expression.

She was afraid of Zeng Yan's unpredictable fickleness, but at the same time she was irresistibly fascinated by his hypocritical tenderness.

After not being stunned for long, An Lian walked towards Zeng Yan and nervously stretched out her hand to his.

Zeng Yan grabbed her hand impatiently, but the smile on his face did not change at all:

"Let's go in."

An Lian nodded stiffly and let him hold her hand, but she kept two fists' distance from him.

"Lianlian, today is the first time you meet her, shouldn't you be happier?" Zeng Yan walked in front and spoke without turning his head.

The gentle tone made An Lian feel frightened. As someone who was familiar with him, she could hear the hidden threats in it.

"……Um."

An Lian immediately nervously forced a stiff smile.

Zeng Yan ignored her and walked towards the main tower without stopping for a moment.

An Lian lowered her head and followed him obediently. She knew many things about the Zeng family that she shouldn't see too clearly.

But curiosity drove her and she couldn't help but glance around, and she was shocked to find that she was surrounded by irregular underground troops, each of them holding a scary assault rifle.

An Lian became more and more nervous, and cold sweat began to appear on her forehead.

Although she had long known that her powerful father-in-law Zeng Nian could not be as kind and gentle as he appeared to be, she had never expected that he could be so cruel...

Feeling the strength in his hand tightening and his palm gradually getting wet, Zeng Yan knew that she was peeking. He suddenly exerted force to pull the person behind him into his arms, holding An Lian so tightly that she could hardly breathe. He said in a voice that only she could hear:

"Watch out for your eyeballs~"

An Lian was startled and closed her eyes tightly. She knew he could really do it.

Just like that, An Lian felt like she had walked a long way until the light in front of her eyes completely disappeared.

"Open your eyes~" Zeng Yan ordered.

An Lian then dared to slowly open her eyes, only to find that she was already inside the tower. Her first impression was - darkness.

It was so dark, as if I had entered a scene from a black-and-white TV from the 80s.

All the furnishings are very retro and simple, the decorations are very old but spotless. You can see the top of the tower by looking up, and there are stairs on both sides that surround the tower walls.

Zeng Yan took her straight to the panoramic glass elevator in the front, which was incompatible with the style of the entire tower.

It was obvious that the elevator was installed later, probably from the time that man was imprisoned here.

Soon, the elevator started, and An Lian could see through the glass that there were a cooking floor, a physiotherapy floor, and a maintenance floor outside...

Finally, the elevator reached the top floor and stopped running. An Lian found that she couldn't see inside this floor through the glass.

The elevator door was slow to open, and she looked at Zeng Yan with some confusion. He said nothing, so she didn't dare to ask more.

Half a minute later, the elevator door opened, but there were three heavy mechanical doors in front of it, which slowly opened one by one.

As the last gate opened, a long corridor appeared in front of us. There were quaint oil lamps hanging on the walls, as well as several priceless murals.

Several maids stood neatly in front of the walls on both sides, bowing their heads and shouting, "Master, Madam."

Zeng Yan pulled An Lian towards the mahogany double doors at the bottom of the corridor as usual.

An Lian looked at the door, becoming more and more nervous. On the one hand, it was because it was the first time she met that person, and on the other hand, she was deeply afraid of that person's situation.

Zeng Yan pushed the door open without any obstacles, walked around the main hall skillfully, and went straight to the bedroom with An Lian.

An Lian looked at the cameras installed at every corner of the wall in surprise, and couldn't imagine how she could live in such an environment.

Soon, they came to the bedroom and saw the woman sitting quietly on a chair in front of the round window, enjoying the sea breeze.

"Mom," Zeng Yan said gently, "I'm here to see you."

Zeng's mother Jingying seemed to be deaf to him and completely ignored him.

Zeng Yan was not annoyed, as if he had gotten used to it. He just quietly walked forward and squatted beside Jing Ying, took out the specially washed photos in his hand, and stuffed them into her hands.

"Yichen is 23 years old. This is the photo taken on his birthday. Please take a look." Zeng Yan advised patiently and gently.

There was still no reaction on Jingying's face, but she just tightened her fingers holding the photo frame silently.

Zeng Yan just sighed when he saw this, and glanced at An Lian who was at a loss beside him, and then introduced Jing Ying:

"Oh, by the way, mom, this is my wife, your daughter-in-law, An Lian. I brought her to see you this time."

As he spoke, he turned to look at An Lian and frowned.

An Lian reacted quickly, took two steps forward, and said nervously, "Hello, Mom! I'm An Lian, please...give me more advice."

Zeng Yan turned around to look at his mother again, but saw that her eyes were still empty and lifeless, staring at the waves in the distance, without any vitality.

At this time, Zeng Yan's cell phone rang. He looked down and his eyes froze for a moment. Then he returned to normal and said to Jing Ying, "Mom, I'll go take care of my work. Let Lianlian stay with you for a while."

Having said that, he didn't stay any longer. He winked at An Lian and turned to leave.

An Lian looked at Zeng Yan's back as he walked away, feeling a little helpless.

How can she accompany her mother-in-law who doesn't even care about her own son...

She turned her head nervously, intending to go forward and ask something, but the moment she turned her head, she found that the woman in front of her had turned her head back.

The woman's hair was disheveled but not messy, and her face was haggard and lifeless, but it was not difficult to capture her former dignity and elegance, the air of a lady from a noble family.

"Ah..." An Lian was frightened by this sudden eye contact and cried out in surprise. She immediately adjusted her demeanor, put on a dignified smile, walked forward and said politely: "Mom, what do you need..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the woman, "Do you have a child?"

"Ah?" An Lian was stunned, then she blushed and lowered her head: "...Not yet, Mom."

"Then let's get a divorce quickly." Jingying said calmly.

An Lian was so shocked that she was speechless. She had never expected that the first two sentences her mother-in-law said to her when she met her for the first time would be like this.

"Mom, what... do you mean?" An Lian asked in confusion.

"You and Zeng Yan have been married for ten years, right?" Jing Ying's eyes were calm and her voice was weak but calm.

"Yeah." An Lian nodded, and at the same time she felt sad in her heart that it had been 10 years and she still hadn't warmed his heart.

"You haven't had a child in ten years. It's impossible that Zeng Yan feels sorry for your suffering." Jingying ruthlessly punctured An Lian's fantasy.

"Mom... I will try my best and have a baby soon." An Lian retorted stubbornly.

Hearing this, Jingying looked at the young woman in front of her, with a little more regret in her eyes. She spoke to persuade her for the last time:

"Zeng Yan is just like his father, hypocritical and selfish, promiscuous and unfeeling, jealous and suspicious. Seeing how I have ended up living a life worse than an animal, don't you understand?"
