My Youth Began With Him

“Doing too much farm work, of course. My grandpa once lived on a farm when he was younger and did some farm work. That would explain it.”

“But what if she’s from a rich family and doesn’t need to do any farm work or housework?”

“Then it’s probably because she uses guns a lot,” Su Yu said nonchalantly.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

“You’re talking about Lu Yan?” Su Yu knew An was asking all of this for a reason.

“Yeah.”

“It’s legal to bear arms in the U.S.; a lot of families keep them in their houses. Getting a handgun license in the U.S. is as easy as getting a driver’s license. It’s normal.” Su Yu shrugged.

“I just have a feeling that Ms. Yan has a complicated background.” An wasn’t an idiot; he had spent a lot of time with Lu Yan over the last few days. He had noticed that she does things clean and ruthlessly; plus, her hands exposed her experience with handguns. His instincts told him that she was no ordinary woman.

But… she was only in her early twenties, how complicated could she be?

“Who cares what her background is. If I liked someone, I wouldn’t care even if she was hated by the entire world. If I didn’t like someone, I would’ve care even if the entire world fawned over her,” Su Yu gave An his view about relationships.

“You’re right.” An thought that Su Yu’s words made sense. He also opened a can of beer and chugged it, changing the subject.

He knew for sure that he liked Lu Yan. He wasn’t going to suspect his own emotions anymore. However… they seemed to be from different worlds, and he saw the way Lu Yan spent money. How much money did she have?

– South Hill Manor, later that evening –

The twins had fallen asleep, but Lu Yan was still wide awake. So, she got up, threw on a jacket, and headed downstairs. She wanted to go on a drive and clear her head.

However, Huo Mian stopped her before she even reached the first floor.

“It’s late, where are you going?”

“Sis, why are you still awake?”

“Ever since I got pregnant, I haven’t really been able to sleep. It keeps moving,” Huo Mian whispered.

“Haha, my nephew’s giving you a hard time?”

“Don’t change the subject. Where are you going?”

“I… couldn’t sleep, so I wanted to go out for a drive.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Because Dad called and told me to keep an eye on you. He said you get into fights. A lot,” Huo Mian answered.

“Sis, I won’t do unto others unless others do unto me,” Lu Yan promised.

“That doesn’t mean anything to me. You’re young, beautiful, and you want to go outside in the middle of the night? Yes, our city’s safe, but there’s a lot of rich men who are just looking for young women to devour. If you want to go on a drive, do it during the day.”

“Come on, Sis, you’re too traditional. I always go out drinking in the middle of the night when I was in Europe.”

“So that’s why you always get into fights and kill people?” Huo Mian looked at her little sister.

Lu Yan licked her lips and looked down quietly.

“Yan, you’re still young, I don’t want you to live your life with blood on your hands all the time.”

“Sis, me killing people is the same as you saving people. It’s my job, and I’ve been doing it for years. I won’t change my mind, so stop trying to talk me out of it, okay?”

“If I could live life over again, I really hope I can live your life so you can live a peaceful life instead.” Huo Mian looked at Lu Yan heartachingly.

“If I could live life over again, I really hope I can still live this life. That way, you will be able to live a peaceful life.”

Huo Mian couldn’t control her tears upon hearing what Lu Yan said.

“Sis, you’re pregnant, don’t cry…” Lu Yan’s heart also ached as she reached out to wipe Huo Mian’s tears off her face.

“Yan, let’s go get something to eat. Take my R8, the key is in the box by the front door.”

“What?” Lu Yan was dumbfounded; she didn’t think her sister would want to go out with her.
