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

"You'll get hurt. Is this the result you wanted?" Lu Ye grabbed An Cinian's shoulders, his eyes filled with pain. An Cinian, why are you so stubborn? Why don't you care about your own life or death?

Like a moth drawn to a flame, knowing full well how deep the abyss lies ahead, you still leap into the air to embrace him once, even if it may be the only time. Is Xie Yu'an really worth sacrificing your life for?

Lu Ye lay on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling, just like when An Cinian couldn't see him before.

An Cinian sat on the hospital bed, unmoved by Lin Ya's mother's cries and pleas for the doctor to save her child, as if she didn't care at all about her blind eyes.

Many people at Aikang Orphanage care about An Cinian. They are all orphans, without fathers or mothers. Aikang Orphanage is their home, and Director Lin Ya and the other teachers are their mothers.

People like them are either abandoned because they are in poor health or have illnesses, or because no one can afford to raise them. There are many reasons, but in short, nobody wants them.

In that dark timeline, An Cinian seemed like a lonely star. No, she wasn't afraid of loneliness, but Lu Ye knew that this person, who was usually indifferent, had secretly cried many times at night.

Every night, when everyone is asleep, An Cinian would get up, explore the surrounding area, and finally sit on the steps in the backyard, hugging her knees with her arms, and looking up at the night sky.

She couldn't see the night sky, just as he couldn't see her emotions. It was always like this. He couldn't get too close to An Cinian, for fear of being discovered. People who have lost their sight have exceptionally sharp ears.

An Cinian can cry, but she only ever thinks about one person.

'Ayu, I can't see you anymore. Actually, I'm not sad. This is my fate, my punishment. But when I think of you, I feel so sad. Even the strands of my hair feel sad. I may never see you again. What will you look like in the future?'

'Ayu, I always have nightmares, so my birthday wish this year is to give me your nightmares too. It's not a big deal for someone as awful as me to have nightmares.'

"Only with nightmares can I feel real, my heart pounding, knowing I'm still alive. The distance between us is so great that you can't see my sorrow. The taste of love is a bittersweet happiness, but Ah Yu, I don't mean to blame you. As long as you're safe and well, my sadness is nothing."

"Ci Nian, I beg you, please listen to my advice. I will take you away. I am sure I have a way to cure you."

A deep longing, a lingering gaze, from the highest heavens to the deepest hell, I have never forgotten you. You are the obsession that haunts my dreams. Because of you, I do not wish for an afterlife. I live this life again with intense resentment.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye cried, burying her face in her hands and sobbing. "I just wanted you to be safe and happy, Ci Nian. Why are you unwilling to truly understand me?"

"Why are you back so late?"

Xie Yu'an was already sitting on the sofa waiting for An Cinian when he returned to the villa. After getting off work, An Cinian told him that she and Hu Zhenyi had some issues to resolve at the bookstore, and it had been quite a while before she came back.

"It will take a little longer to process this, so you don't need to wait for me."

Without saying a word, he picked up his phone and called Chen Yang.

"Is something the matter, Xiao Yu?"

Seeing Xie Yu'an's cold demeanor, An Cinian stood in front of Xie Yu'an, appearing calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She had deceived Xie Yu'an.

There was no bookstore at all. Xie Yu'an knew that Hu Zhenyi would definitely cover it up for her, so she directly called Chen Yang. Their biggest problem now was that neither of them trusted the other.

She understood and complied, after all, she had indeed deceived Xie Yu'an about many things.

"What happened at the bookstore?" An Cinian asked, looking at her phone.

"No." Her tone was so nonchalant, as if she knew nothing about it.

Finished!

An Cinian's nerves were on edge, and she was practically digging her toes into the ground.

"is it?"

Just those two words, just those two words, were practically bouncing on An Cinian's nerves. Her eyes were filled with a playful mockery, like a cold knife about to slowly torture her.

However, An Cinian remained calm, not revealing the slightest clue.

Just as Xie Yu'an was about to get up, a voice came from the other end: "Didn't Xiaoyun and Xiaonian just resolve the bookstore issue? Don't worry, everything's fine."

Hey Chen Yang, can you just say everything at once?

An Cinian's lips twitched, her forehead was sweating with fright, and her hands trembled violently involuntarily.

Before Xie Yu'an could ask anything else, Chen Yang continued, "Xiao Nian should be home by now. I thanked her for helping Xiao Yun with the bookstore issue, and we had dinner together. You called specifically because you didn't get angry with Xiao Nian about this, did you?"

Am I that stingy?

"Tch, who knows? I'm not talking to you anymore. You've asked enough, right? I need to go help my wife collect the laundry. These two big men shouldn't be dawdling like this so late at night."

With that, the phone went dead.

The entire living room fell into a deathly silence.

An Cinian stood there, while Xie Yu'an sat down, looking him up and down with his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, before standing up again.

"I had prepared a strawberry cake for you, but it looks like you won't be able to have it."

He gestured to the small cake on the coffee table. He had driven to buy a strawberry cake after get off work today, and he had even waited in line for an hour. During that time, he was worried that An Cinian would get home before him and he wouldn't be able to surprise his wife. But now it seems that he was overthinking it.

An Cinian is quite happy that she's not with him.

"It's too late, I'll put it in the fridge and eat it tomorrow."

To be honest, she really wanted to eat it, but she usually ate very little. If she ate out and then ate it at home, Xie Yu'an would definitely become suspicious.

Let's just say she's on a diet.

Xie Yu'an didn't refute. He walked up to An Cinian, took her hand, and noticed that An Cinian's forehead was sweaty: "Why are you sweating? Your hands are so cold. Go back to the bedroom and take a shower."

It's because you scared me; you suddenly put on a stern face, it's terrifying.

She obediently followed Xie Yu'an upstairs. Seeing that Xie Yu'an was calm and showed no displeasure, she was lucky that she hadn't been discovered this time. Next time, she must explain things clearly to them to avoid being as frightened as this time. Her little heart couldn't take it.

"Honey, I didn't give anything away just now, did I? You scared me to death! The way Xiaoyu was talking just now, I felt like Xiaonian would have gotten a beating if you hadn't told me beforehand."

Chen Yang still hasn't recovered. Holding Hu Zhenyi, he needs to feel his wife's warmth to warm up.
