Catch someone cheating
"Ouch, Yunfan, be gentle!"
"Xinran, after not seeing each other for four years, why have you become so delicate?"
"These years abroad, I've been faithful to you, not even getting close to another man. How could I not be delicate? As for you, even though you've been in a wheelchair for four years, you're still so strong, ah..."
Hidden behind the bushes, Shen Lan listened to the heavy breathing and moaning of the man and woman. Even though it was June, her hands and feet turned cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Tonight was her engagement banquet, yet her fiancé, Lu Yunfan, was having an affair with another woman in the garden. The music drifting from the front hall intertwined with the unpleasant sounds, like a slap in the face.
Shen Lan hugged her coat tightly, her knuckles turning white from the grip. She didn't come to her senses until she heard her own name.
"Shen Lan grew up with you as childhood sweethearts. She's been waiting for you for all these years and never left you after your car accident. It's not right for us to do this now that she's finally waiting for the engagement with you."
Even as she said it wasn't right, Zhou Xinran clung even tighter to Lu Yunfan's arm. Lu Yunfan took a sharp breath and slapped her on the butt to signal her to behave.
"Childhood sweethearts? She's just an orphan girl living in our family. The Shen family has been bankrupt for years. If it weren't for the Lu family taking her in, she would have been sent to an orphanage long ago."
Zhou Xinran was satisfied with his answer and her voice became even more coquettish. "Don't say that. She took care of you so hard - working. Even if she has no credit, she has the hard work."
Lu Yunfan's movements froze for a moment, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. He said irritably, "She did it willingly. I didn't force her. She's been eager to serve me, just like a servant."
The moonlight spilled on the ground. Shen Lan was in a trance, feeling as if her chest was blocked and she had difficulty breathing.
She had an engagement with Lu Yunfan since childhood. But when she was seven years old, her father was killed, her brother went missing, and her mother, with her last breath, sent her to the Lu family, giving a large sum of money and begging them to take her in. After her mother died, she was too young, and the Shen family couldn't hold on and declared bankruptcy. The number - one traditional Chinese medicine family in J City thus declined.
She had been living in the Lu family for over a decade, but Lu Yunfan never admitted her identity as his fiancée in public. In order to get rid of her, he started dating Zhou Xinran.
Until four years ago, the two had an accident while out on a trip. Lu Yunfan became disabled in both legs, and the doctor said he might never be able to stand up again. Lu Yunfan couldn't accept his disability and was in low spirits. His personality also became gloomy, strange, and irritable. Even his parents were about to give up on him.
It was she who took care of him hard - working for four years, cooking medicinal diets for him every day and secretly massaging him with her family - handed - down medical skills at night. Lu Yunfan had an unstable temper, often scolding and hitting people. In these four years, Shen Lan always had bruises on her body and endured all his negative emotions.
Until a month ago, he stood up and recovered to be just like an ordinary person. Mr. Lu was so excited that he announced that he would hold an engagement banquet for the two of them.
Shen Lan thought her hardships were finally over, but what she waited for was his rekindling of the old relationship with his ex - girlfriend and their affair in the garden. Four years of careful care had become a joke for Lu Yunfan to please women.
Shen Lan's heart ached. She was eager to escape from there, but in her panic, she stepped on a branch. The crisp sound alerted the lovebirds.
"Who? Who's there!" Lu Yunfan's voice was wary, and the ambiguous sounds stopped.
Holding her breath, Shen Lan quickly hid in the nearby fake cave. She didn't know why she was hiding. Clearly, it was Lu Yunfan who had done something wrong. Maybe she was just too flustered and made this move instinctively.
Shen Lan had lived in the Lu family for so long and was familiar with the layout of the back garden. The fake cave next to her was very deep. She was thin, and as long as she shrank in, Lu Yunfan would definitely not find her in the dark.
Just then, an accident happened. When Shen Lan shrank into the cave, she suddenly bumped into another body. Before she could let out a cry of surprise, a big hand tightly covered her mouth, and her waist was also encircled. The breath of the strange man enveloped her, and her back was pressed tightly against his hard chest. His body temperature was very high, and through the thin summer dress, the place where they were in contact felt like it was on fire.
There was a big difference in their body sizes. Shen Lan was almost lifted up by him as if she was sitting on his lap. She looked up in horror and met a pair of cold, deep eyes in the dark. Her intuition told her that this man was very dangerous!
Realizing this, Shen Lan instinctively wanted to move away from him. Just as she lifted her buttocks, the hand on her waist pulled her back as a warning.
The man lowered his head, and his deep, hoarse voice rang in her ear, "Shh, don't move. Your fiancé is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of footsteps outside the cave. Shen Lan's hair stood on end, and her body tensed up to the extreme.
