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

Xie Yu'an, it's not that I don't care about you, it's just that I'm timid and cowardly, and I don't dare to see you openly. You said I have no heart, that I'm always better to others than to you. I'm just afraid that my love will trouble you, and I have too many concerns.

For the past six years, I have neither seen nor heard anything. I have been living in darkness, but I feel that it doesn't matter, as long as you are safe.

Love makes you dizzy and caught off guard; your heart beats wildly for you and finds peace for you.

Do you know, I love to paint because I want to hide you in all my paintings. I only paint what I want to paint, just like I only love you, Xie Yu'an.

To put it even more dramatically, you are my god, my unique light, my only salvation.

Xie Yu'an, my Yu'an, I love you. In this world, besides your parents, I love you the most. So, I promised you last night that I will stay by your side forever, even if it means eternal damnation.

Thinking of all this, An Cinian nuzzled against Xie Yu'an's chest, "Don't go crazy for me anymore, I'm not leaving~"

But when he looked at the bracelet, he felt a mix of joy and sorrow. Now that he was in frequent contact with Xie Yu'an, the bracelet's effects wouldn't be as good.

"Awake?" Xie Yu'an looked at the girl in his arms, his voice low.

"Um, Xie Yu'an, I'm hungry. I want to eat a pineapple bun. Can you go buy me one?"

It seems An Cinian wasn't angry about what happened last night. That's good; he'll give her whatever she wants.

An Cinian could no longer bear it and ran to the bathroom to vomit.

"Ugh, vomit, vomit!"

She felt like she was about to vomit her heart out, her whole body was weak and trembling, and her face was flushed. She could only lean against the cold tiles and breathe heavily to calm herself down.

She knew that her body and the secret she was hiding would become barriers between her and Xie Yu'an, and if she didn't speak out, they would never be able to truly get close.

Trying to calm her negative emotions, she slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. She quickly washed her face with cold water, trying to clear her head. She took a deep breath and smiled. She couldn't let Xie Yu'an see this vulnerable side of her.

Ah Yu, if you meet someone better in the future, I will choose to let go. You deserve a better girl.

Xie Yu'an frowned the moment he opened the door. Where was everyone?

An Cinian had already tidied her appearance, so Xie Yu'an shouldn't be able to tell.

However, just as Xie Yu'an placed the pineapple bun in her palm, he reached out and cupped her face, his eyes and voice revealing concern: "Why do you look so pale? Did you not rest well here?"

"You know, I've always been like this. I'll be fine once I get home."

She smiled slightly, gently put Xie Yu'an's hand down, and sat down on a chair next to her. Xie Yu'an had even bought her some warm milk.

"Do you remember that time you waited at my door to deliver a pineapple bun to me, just to take the opportunity to add me on WeChat?"

He stared blankly at the food in his hand.

As soon as An Cinian stepped out, she saw Xie Yu'an wearing a school uniform.

He raised his hand, presenting what he was holding, and said in a gentle, soothing voice, "I prepared pineapple buns and some milk for you." Seeing that An Cinian didn't respond, he added, "I queued for ages to buy these~"

Look at this person's aggrieved look and aggrieved voice. An Cinian's heart raced, and she could barely keep her composure. Was this person doing this on purpose?

However, just as she took the pineapple bun, she paused, surprised; it was still warm. Then she saw that Xie Yu'an's WeChat had opened directly to her—so all that buildup was to add her on WeChat?

"Please note in advance that we do not accept payment codes."

An Cinian immediately put her phone away, not wanting to argue any further; she wanted to leave.

"They really do hate me. I'm so annoying."

An Ci Nian Ren!

"Xie Yu'an is really annoying."

...I've endured it again and again, but I can't take it anymore. Xie Yu'an, you're not like this. Who corrupted you?

Xie Yu'an certainly remembered that this idea, which he called a bad idea, was actually Lin Yan's idea for him. He even added lines to his own mind, just to attract An Cinian's attention.

I recognized you at first glance. You can't fool me. Whether you admit you're Nian Nian or not, my eyes are only on you.

She opened her mouth to say something, but her gaze fell on An Cinian's bracelet: "The bracelet is cracked, can't you just get a new one?"

He is jealous.

"Can I keep it on? Look, I have another hand. You can let me wear as many as you want. This bracelet isn't because Lu Ye gave it to me and I'm reluctant to part with it. I just like it. It's been with me all these years. It's my luck. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Since An Cinian had already gone this far, what reason did he have? He simply nodded.

"After we finish eating, I'll take you somewhere."

Xie Yu'an didn't say anything, so An Cinian didn't ask any further.

Soon, the two arrived at a Chinese-style villa. The architecture was classical and elegant, and on either side of the steps in front of the door were two carefully trimmed bonsai trees, emitting a faint fragrance.

An Cinian was somewhat puzzled. Was this Xie Yu'an's home? Or was she being brought here to visit someone?

The door was opened by the woman inside, and a woman dressed in retro style appeared before them.

An Cinian was stunned, then glanced at Xie Yu'an again. She didn't understand why she had been brought here. And weren't they afraid of a fight?

"Mom, we're here."

Lin Shu nodded, her gaze falling on An Cinian. She was so flustered she didn't know what to call her.

"Wife, call her Mom." Xie Yu'an said dismissively, and even kindly reminded An Cinian not to get the address wrong.

Just as An Cinian was hesitating about whether she should call him that, Lin Shu's husband, Xie Jiaye, appeared, stroking his glasses: "Xiao Nian, it's been so many years since I last saw you. You've become so beautiful. Come in and sit down."

Xie Jiaye has a great personality, and both he and his wife are outstanding. It's no surprise that Xie Yu'an perfectly inherited all the good qualities of his parents.

"Xiao Yu, let's go wash the fruit."

This scene left An Cinian and Xie Yu'an somewhat dazed.

"Hello, Aunt and Uncle!" Lin Yan ran up to them and waved enthusiastically.

That was the first time Lin Shu met An Cinian, the real An Cinian, the girl that Xie Yu'an and Lin Yan often mentioned in front of her. My son has already brought her home so quickly!

Lin Shu sat next to An Cinian, who was also next to Xie Yu'an, who was surrounded by her.

An Cinian gave Lin Yan a meaningful look.

"Aunt and Uncle, I just remembered I have something to do, so I won't disturb you all. You can catch up slowly."

An Cinian also wanted to get up, but Lin Shu held her hand tightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, so she could only use a smile to cover up her panic.

"Mom~ How can you grab Niannian's hand and not let go right away?" Xie Yu'an spoke first, even though he hadn't been holding her hands for very long.

"So what? You're not going to hold it, are you?"

Xie Yu'an looked displeased. That wasn't for you to hold!

"Xiao Nian, do you think Auntie is bad?"
