The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

"I didn't..." An Lian subconsciously wanted to avoid the topic.

The next second, Zeng Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck, leaning close to her ear and whispering gloomily:

"Isn't it more convincing to make up a reason than to treat me as a blind man?"

"Uh..." An Lian lost her voice and tried to pry his arms apart in pain, but her tiny strength was nothing compared to his.

Fortunately, this is Nansha Tower. Zeng Yan was still a little afraid of this environment full of cameras, so he quickly let her go, but the sinister look in his eyes did not diminish at all.

"Cough cough..." The fatal restraint on her neck disappeared, and An Lian greedily took in big gulps of fresh air.

"What were you thinking about just now?" Zeng Yan did not let go of the topic, and the impatience in his voice had reached its peak.

"...I was thinking..." An Lian was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. She didn't dare to tell him what her mother-in-law had said, but she was really not good at making up stories...especially when facing Zeng Yan, she was nervous and scared.

Zeng Yan's eyes narrowed sinisterly, "What did mom tell you?"

An Lian was startled and even her lips began to tremble, but she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing her reaction, Zeng Yan knew that he had guessed right. He stopped looking at her and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

"Mom is taking a nap..." An Lian stopped her in a trembling voice, her nails already sinking deeply into her delicate skin.

Zeng Yan's back paused, but he did not stop his limping steps. Instead, he insisted on walking into the bedroom. Seeing that his mother had indeed lay down to rest, he frowned, walked to the bed and carefully observed Jingying's breathing.

Very symmetrical, I guess he is really asleep.

He stood in front of the bed, staring at his sleeping mother for a long time without leaving.

"Mom, they are obviously your sons, why do you only love Yichen and not me? Don't you know...

Will I be sad?

Zeng Yan asked in a gloomy tone, but the only answer he got was Jing Ying's still steady breathing.

He walked forward and pulled the quilt around Jingying's waist, staring at her sleeping face for a long time, his brows twitching fiercely, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.

In the end, he just pulled the quilt up:

"I'll see you next time, my mother~"

After saying that, he turned and walked outside.

At that moment, the corner of the woman's mouth rose slightly as if in mockery, but what was inconsistent with it was that a drop of complicated hot tears flowed under the invisible blindfold.

Zeng Yan walked to the hall, rudely pulled An Lian out of the tower, and said nothing more along the way.

An Lian, however, was in a trance the whole time, her brain was digesting those facts that overturned her worldview one by one, and her whole body felt as sick as if she had eaten a mouthful of phlegm.

And just now... what she caught at the door of the bedroom, when Zeng Yan suddenly paused while holding the quilt and stared at his mother-in-law, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes...

Was she seeing things? That look... was even more terrifying than the cruelest time he had looked at her.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone about anything here, especially Zeng Yichen, do you understand?" Zeng Yan's gloomy voice suddenly sounded.

An Lian turned around and looked at Zeng Yan. For the first time, she felt that this man was so far away from her...

So far away that he was not in the same world as her. No wonder 10 years had passed... and she still had never really been by his side.

An Lian always believes,

Even if souls that truly love each other are in different time and space and cannot even touch each other, they can still transcend the time barrier and love each other in their own way.

She once thought that as long as her love was sincere and strong enough, she would be able to pull him out of his lonely and desperate situation and protect him into her own world.

But she deliberately forgot that incompatible people, even if they are in the same time and space and sleep in the same bed every night, will ultimately be physically together but spiritually apart.

Perhaps, the most lonely and helpless thing is not that an empty person has no books to read, but that he seems to hold a gorgeous book in his hand, but he can't understand the content at all.

Even though he had been so violent and rude to her, she only thought of him as a victim who had to endure all kinds of inhuman hardships as the heir to an official family.

Yichen lost his mother at a young age and it was pitiful, but he was spoiled by his father, loved by his elder brother, and cared for by his sister-in-law. He was a child who was loved by everyone.

But Zeng Yan was different. No one would comfort him when his mother died, but he still had to endure the grief and undergo training to maintain the morale of the soldiers in the camp.

But it turns out that all this is just a conspiracy...

When she first heard Zeng Yan talking to his subordinates about Nanshata's mother, she was very surprised, but she didn't take it too seriously.

In particular, the selfish and sinister general father-in-law fabricated a story of infidelity to her husband on her mother-in-law in order to cover up his own evil desires.

She even subconsciously chose to favor Zeng Yan and his most beloved father, and believed the fabrication without thinking, thinking that her mother-in-law was more at fault and that she deserved to be punished for her wrongdoings.

But after knowing the truth today and seeing her mother-in-law's situation, her heart felt like it was pierced by an ice pick. It was painful and cold.

My father is so selfish and cruel, what about Zeng Yan?

Zeng Yan, who knew the truth from the beginning to the end, resolutely chose to protect his father's extremely shameless desires and cooperated in covering up this scandal. He watched his mother being locked up behind this towering wall for 20 years...

That's his mother!!!

How could he bear it?? ! !

Now he even shamelessly ordered her to hide it from Zeng Yichen...

What did the innocent Yichen do wrong? Because of his father's shameless desire, he had to be separated from his mother at a young age and missed out on maternal love throughout his childhood.

I originally thought that Zeng Yan's violent temper today was somewhat influenced by the grief of losing his mother at a young age.

But the story of losing one’s mother turned out to be just a ridiculous fabrication.

Then Zeng Yan is just selfish and vicious by nature!!

It turned out that her admiration, love, care and tolerance for him over the past ten years were all just a huge joke!

"Do you want me to repeat it again?" Zeng Yan lowered his voice impatiently.

"Okay." An Lian nodded, turned her head and looked out the window blankly. The sunny outdoor scenery was so dazzling that she couldn't look directly at it in her eyes that were full of dirty truths.

Zeng Yan saw her state and felt inexplicably uneasy. He frowned sinisterly:

"Whatever she told you, it was just to clear her name.

You'd better forget about it and don't make trouble for yourself."

An Lian was stunned, but a hint of disgust unconsciously twitched between her brows.

He even used such obscene words as "scandalous" to describe his mother?

An Lian didn't look back, but just nodded:

"I don't believe it."

Zeng Yan's eyes narrowed with suspicion and speculation, but in the end he said nothing more, turned back and closed his eyes to rest.

An Lian's heart was getting colder and colder. Her nails dug deep into her palms, and the pain stimulated her nerves again and again...

Jiang Manxi arrived at the parking lot of the research building of the School of Life Sciences of Peking University.

"La la la la..." Jiang Manxi was in a good mood and parked the car while humming a little tune.

He couldn't wait to run towards the building, wanting to know what news Chi Tao had found out, and then discuss with her how to match Xiao Leng with her brother.

Hey!
