ABRWF Chapter 369.2

Lu Qingyan returned to the Lu family’s hillside villa. The place had changed quite a bit. The once open garden had been turned into a closed one, like a secluded garden castle, blocking all outsiders from prying into it.

Upon entering the villa, Jiang Nanshu realized that Old Mr. Lu wasn’t there.

The entire villa was empty except for Lu Qingyan and the servants, each performing their own duties.

He washed his hands and coldly accepted three sticks of incense from a servant.

Jiang Nanshu was drawn by the sandalwood scent. She curiously examined the Buddha statue placed there.

These things hadn’t existed in the hillside villa before.

Because Lu Qingyan didn’t believe in gods or Buddhas.

The smoke from incense curled upwards, white mist swirling around Lu Qingyan, making his features even more indistinct.

He bowed respectfully three times to the Buddha statue, then solemnly placed three incense sticks into the incense burner.

Jiang Nanshu didn’t know why she was having such a strange dream. The sandalwood scent grew clearer and clearer to her nose, as if she were actually in that environment.

But then she realized that she was just dreaming.

So she walked confidently to Lu Qingyan’s side, turning her head to look at his handsome profile.

Seeing him looking at the statue with a serious expression, she followed suit and stared at it as well.

After a long while, Jiang Nanshu sighed softly: “Was what I dreamt about your current situation? It shouldn’t be that strange. I’ll just take it as a fantasy. I heard you committed suicide. Why be so extreme? My death is enough. Why did you have to buy one and get one free? Just live well. Before I died, I even signed the divorce papers. After I die, the marriage will be null and void. Go find someone who treats you well.”

After saying this, Jiang Nanshu glanced at Lu Qingyan.

Seeing him calmly staring at the Buddha statue, she couldn’t help but continue, “Let’s wipe the slate clean of our past grievances. No one owes anyone anything. Otherwise, I’ll be annoyed if I keep thinking about these things in the other world. It’ll disturb my life.”

“And don’t appear in my dreams anymore. We should both have new lives. Sigh, I wonder how Xi Xi is doing. Why haven’t I dreamt about her?”

Jiang Nanshu muttered, thinking that the time should be about right.

This dream should be enough.

“So, you still don’t love me?”

Upon suddenly hearing Lu Qingyan’s voice, Jiang Nanshu felt a chill run down his spine.

She turned her head and saw that Lu Qingyan’s gaze was still fixed on one spot.

“If you love me, you would have stayed for me, right?”

Jiang Nanshu almost thought that he was talking to her.

But in reality, Lu Qingyan was just talking to himself.

Jiang Nanshu raised her hand to wipe non-existent sweat from her forehead.

“Don’t go crazy like Zhou Yanbai. He’s a complete psychopath.”

Jiang Nanshu paused, somewhat annoyed: “You can’t hear me even if I’m rambling on here.”

She glanced at him again.

He stared at the Buddha statue with an almost obsessive gaze, as if seeking an answer.

But inanimate objects can’t speak.

Jiang Nanshu wanted to reach out and pat his shoulder to comfort him.

Just consider your youth wasted, and forget about her.

Why torture yourself like this?

“Time will tell. I haven’t been gone long enough, so it’s normal that you can’t accept it right now. Wait a while, and you’ll forget me.”

Jiang Nanshu’s hand ultimately didn’t touch Lu Qingyan’s shoulder.

She felt a little guilty and a little afraid to touch him.

“I understand. What can you do if you don’t love me? Only by forcing it can I solve this problem.”

Jiang Nanshu: “?”

She turned her head, and just then, Lu Qingyan also turned his head, as if he could see her, his gaze concealing obsession and madness.

Under Jiang Nanshu’s horrified gaze, he slowly curled up the corners of his mouth, cold and devoid of any smile.

Jiang Nanshu only felt a sharp pain in her wrist as he gripped it tightly. His expression changed from indifference to pleasure, but the words he spoke were icy.

“I’ve got you.”
