Chapter 78: Just Treat It as Helping Auntie
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu An took out his phone and glanced at it. When he saw that the name on the caller ID was Xie He, he frowned and hung up. Jin Nian also saw the name on the screen, “It’s your mother. Aren’t you going to answer?”
“I don’t want to answer it.”
Jin Nian felt her entire body go numb. She wanted to escape, but she was trapped in Lu An’s arms. Just as he was about to lower his head, his phone rang again.
“What if there’s an emergency?” Jin Nian reached out to push Lu An.
Lu An’s eyes darkened as he picked up the call. He did not address her and only asked: “What’s the matter?” Jin Nian was not too far away from him, so she could hear Xie He’s voice clearly.
“You’re back in Binhai city?” Xie He asked.
“Yes.”

“Same as before, he won’t die.”
“Heh, 1 wish he would die sooner.”
“Xie He, can you not speak so harshly?” Lu An responded to her with a few words, absent-mindedly playing with Jin Nian’s hair. Jin Nian did not even dare to take a deep breath. When she heard Xie He’s voice, she suddenly recalled the summer after she graduated from high school.
Under the scorching sun, Xie He, who was dressed exquisitely and luxuriously, found Jin Nian near her house. She seemed out of place with everything in the Old Urban District. She smiled gently, but the words she said made Jin Nian feel cold: “Niannian, I heard from Lu An that the two of you are going to study in the north together? Can you get used to being so far away from home? Why don’t you stay?”
That was the first time Jin Nian had personally experienced the meaning of hiding a knife behind a smile. Xie He was not only all-powerful in the business world, but she was also very shrewd in the ways of the world. She could not do anything to her son, but she knew that as long as she smiled at Jin Nian, the little girl would be obedient.
How could a teenage Jin Nian be a match for Xie He? Xie He gave her a beautiful dress from a certain luxury brand and said to her earnestly: “Niannian, you’re very beautiful and smart. 1 believe that you can choose a path that’s good for both you and Lu An.”
Jin Nian did not take the dress and asked Xie He directly: “Auntie, do you think I’m not worthy of being friends with Lu An?”
Xie He smiled and shook her head, “Of course not. It’s just that Lu An is Auntie’s only son. Just treat it as helping Auntie, okay?”
Jin Nian also shook her head, “I’ve already promised Lu An. No way.”
However, Xie He told her: “I’ll spend more time with Lu An in the future. It just so happens that my husband often goes to the north to work.” Niannian, you also know that Lu An actually loves me very much.”
Jin Nian could not reject the last sentence.
Jin Nian would never forget that summer afternoon. The sun was scorching the earth, and she had to raise her head slightly to look at Xie He. Xie He was calm and collected, but she had lost her armor and helmet.
Now, a familiar laughter came from the other end of the phone. Xie He said: “I’m sorry, he has nothing to do with me.”
“If you called just to make things difficult for me, then you’ve succeeded.”
“You’re thinking too much. Lu An, I want to introduce you to a very cute little girl.”
“What are you planning to do?”
“Nothing much. I just want you to make more friends and go out more often. Don’t always be alone.”
“There’s no need. I’ll get married…” Before he could finish, Jin Nian quickly reached out and covered his mouth. On the other end, Xie He thought that the signal had been cut off and asked if he was still there.
Lu An looked down at Jin Nian and hung up the phone. He casually threw his phone on the carpet, not caring if he would break it. He picked Jin Nian up and pressed her against the door. He stared at her with his naked eyes, “You can’t tell anyone?”

“What are you afraid of? Xie He?”
Jin Nian nodded honestly. She was like a puppy whose butt had been kicked. It was rare for her to be so obedient.
Lu An smiled and hugged her, coaxing her softly, “What are you afraid of? At worst, you can curse her to die early.”
“Don’t say that. She’s your mother.”
“So what if she’s my mother? You’re my wife.”
“Stop talking nonsense.” Jin Nian did not let him talk nonsense.
“How am I spouting nonsense? Aren’t you my wife?”
“I did not say that. It’s what you said earlier.” No matter what Jin Nian would never curse Xie He. After all, she was his mother.
His train of thought was different from hers. He looked at Jin Nian and smiled lazily, “Since you admit that you’re my wife, shouldn’t you call me husband?”
“I won’t!” Jin Nian reached out to hit him, but Lu An grabbed her wrist. He placed her hand on top of her head and interlocked his fingers with hers. Jin Nian refused and struggled..
