Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

Many times she was afraid, afraid that even Xie Yu'an would leave her, leaving her all alone.

It was a stormy night when she was awakened by the thunder. Holding her rabbit, she vaguely heard Kano talking to the doctor.

On the second night after leaving Xie Yu'an for Nancheng, she... went completely blind.

Perhaps the only emotion she felt came from Xie Yu'an, and this relationship had been building up for far too long. On the night she arrived in Nancheng, she had a nightmare in which Xie Yu'an was in a car accident, covered in blood, convulsing, and there was no one around to save him.

She cried and screamed, her whole body trembling. Lu Ye held her, but no matter what he did, An Cinian was unconscious and began to cough incessantly until she finally fainted and fell silent.

When she woke up again, she could no longer see; her world was completely dark.

At that moment, she knew this was her fate, and she accepted it, acknowledging that everything she had suffered stemmed from her own sins.

The thunderstorms will stop, the gales will subside, the rainbow will appear, and it will be the next sunrise, a new beginning. But I have no time for myself. So, Xie Yu'an, I can't properly embrace you, let alone express my belated love from the bottom of my heart.

We can get infinitely close, and I can always protect you, but we can never truly touch each other.

Looking at the pitiful girl who was so obedient but couldn't be more so, sitting on the bed crying, Xie Yu'an felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it had been broken or torn apart. But he still restrained himself and stroked An Cinian's cheek: "I will always stay by your side. No matter how you treat me, I will stay by your side and protect you."

An Cinian lowered her head, trembling all over, feeling awkward and uncomfortable. She thought she simply couldn't control her love for Xie Yu'an.

"I like you, Xie Yu'an, I like you~"

Trembling, such a pitiful tone tinged with excitement and trepidation.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yu'an's eyes widened in disbelief, and his entire body trembled violently.

"Niannian, wife, do you know what you're saying?"

"I love you. The person before me is the one I love, Xie Yu'an, A-Yu, my husband. I'm sorry, I know these words are many years late, but... but An Cinian only loves Xie Yu'an."

Xie Yu'an, from the very first moment I saw you, I wanted to tell you that we've known each other for a long time. But those beautiful memories were mixed with pain, and I didn't want to leave you with those painful memories. You've started anew and have a new life. You shouldn't be burdened by someone like me.

It is not my wish to distance myself from you time and time again.

You deserve the best dreams. I hope you leave behind the past and live a peaceful life.

An Cinian didn't look at her right hand. She just wanted to instinctively express her love. Perhaps she knew that such a crazy love had been forcibly suppressed, and at the moment of its explosion, she would give it her all.

An Cinian didn't know if she was in heaven or hell, but she knew Xie Yu'an was in front of her.

Xie Yu'an, this is my love, two lifetimes late. Saying "I love you" is so simple, yet it made you wait two lifetimes. Only after losing you did I realize that the best person was already by my side; I was the one who missed her. I hope you won't blame me.

I'm sorry, my dear Yu~

"That's enough. I really need to hear you say that. Niannian, I love you too. Xie Yu'an will only love you. Don't leave me. I won't interfere with whatever you do. I just want you to be safe. Niannian, promise me, okay?"

Xie Yu'an looked at An Cinian, who had her head down, and felt a pang of tenderness in his heart. He couldn't bear to see An Cinian suffer, so he wanted to keep her by his side so that he could devote all his energy to treating her well.

He reached out and embraced An Cinian, holding the girl who belonged only to him tightly.

With my arms around Xie Yu'an's neck, I thought, "Xie Yu'an, my Yu'an is my sun, shining on me, while my grandfather is the moon, warming me in the dark world. I don't want to lose either of them, yet I have lost both."

It is pain, it is despair, it is a broken bone, a shattering, life-or-death situation.

"Husband I love you."

Buried against Xie Yu'an's neck, relying on him, depending on him.

Luo He, I won't let you ruin my present. None of you can touch Xie Yu'an. I must resolve these matters.

The video of An Cinian and An Wenxin caused a huge uproar. If Xie Yu'an hadn't used his connections to suppress it, it would have been known to everyone.

Lu Ye and Qi Yan also obtained this video.

"Brother, please help me, Qingqing will get hurt."

Upon seeing this video, Lu Ye couldn't stay in the hospital any longer. He paced anxiously, unsure of what to do. The only person who could help him now was Qi Yan.

"You should worry about your own illness. The best outcome is for you to not cause Qingqing any trouble."

He stood high in front of Kano, glancing at Kano with a sidelong look.

He looked down on Lu Ye at all. Every time Lu Ye put on airs in front of him, she would pretend to be something she'd never seen before. Now she knew to ask him for help, but what about before? Why did she try to hide An Cinian away?

All those years he searched desperately for Qingqing, while Lu Ye left without a word, taking Qingqing with him. What right did he have to agree to Lu Ye's request? A man with no ability could only choose to run away.

Lu Ye fell silent. Qi Yan walked to the window and looked at the dark night outside: "Lu Ye, apart from that insignificant blood relation, I have nothing to say to you. If you die, I won't even look at you. This is all you owe me."

Once Qi Yan left, Lu Ye's strong demeanor vanished instantly.

He suddenly remembered a long time ago, he couldn't remember when, that year and that day, An Cinian and Xie Yu'an had agreed to go buy flowers together in the afternoon.

That was the first time I'd ever seen An Cinian so happy in the orphanage.

She muttered to herself, "I prepared the preserved flowers early this morning so they can be preserved forever. I want to give them to Xie Yu'an's mother because I want to thank her for giving birth to Xie Yu'an. Xie Yu'an's arrival was a gentle existence."

He had stopped An Cinian at that time, and even though An Cinian cried and made a fuss, he did not change his mind. They could not meet again. All he wanted was for An Cinian to be safe.

But An Cinian cried and screamed desperately.

"I hate you, Lu Ye, I hate you! I never want to talk to you again!" An Cinian cried and shouted to Lu Ye in a childish manner, attracting the attention of the people around her.

That was the first time in his life that An Cinian disliked him.

Unable to control his emotions, the blood that had been stuck in his throat gushed out, onto his face, hands, and the floor.

Qingqing, I've done so many things to wrong you, and now I deserve my fate. I'm dying soon, Qingqing, and the only person I want to see again in the end is you.

"Honey, sweetie, you've had a long day, go to sleep."

Xie Yu'an helped An Cinian put on her pajamas, helped her to bed, and then held her in his arms.

"Ayu~"

"What's wrong, wife?"

An Cinian seemed to have something she wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't say it.

She buried herself in Xie Yu'an's arms, unable to bring herself to say it. Should she tell Xie Yu'an about Luo He's release from prison now? But what kind of impulse would Xie Yu'an have if he found out?

No, she can't do that. I'm sorry, Ayu. I... I'll handle these things quickly and won't cause you any trouble. I hope you won't be angry when you find out what I've done. This is my last plea.

"Xie Yu'an, I love you."
