Lin Chu smiled, “Besides, I like him. If I have the capability in the future, I’d like to adopt him. Jinxi has been a good boy since young. He can be cheeky sometimes but it’s cute. There aren’t many children in the orphanage now and families tend to adopt babies. They like to bring them up from young, and usually don’t adopt those that have already grown up. There are good and naughty children among those unadopted. It’s never a good thing when they don’t have a normal family. And what if the families adopting them aren’t as good as they say they are? Even if there were regular visitations, they would just need to do some surface work and it could be easily covered up.”

“There are kind families who still want to adopt orphans even though they already have children. But there are some families without children who adopt but end up unable to handle them or even have their children later. There are many situations such as these. When they have their own children, they would slowly start to ignore the adopted child. If that happens, the child might as well continue staying in the orphanage. While not every orphanage has a principal like ours but at least our orphanage is a reliable one. The children here live a happy life and they won’t be mistreated here. I’m very sacred for these well-behaved children. What if they are adopted by a family not worthy of them? If I am able, I’ll take care as many of them as I can.”

Yan Beicheng knew that Lin Chu must have thought about her own situation, which was why she did not want to see any of the children being mistreated.

“I was thinking, let’s sponsor him together. I can easily spare this amount of money but I understand that it’s your good intentions. So, let’s do it together,” said Yan Beicheng.

As for the matter of adoption, if Lin Chu was willing, so would he. This way, that little brat would need to call him ‘dad’ and acknowledge Lin Chu as ‘mum. There was no need to mention anything about marrying a wife!

Yan Beicheng’s mood lightened at the thought. Adopting was a good idea.

Lin Chu nodded in agreement. This time, she was really getting off the car and she stopped messing around with him. She reminded him again about being careful on the road and looked at him. She took the initiative to move towards him boldly and kissed him on the jaw. She had wanted to do that for quite a while.

After a full day, the stubble on his jaw was now a little obvious. As her soft lips touched them, it felt a little prickly and ticklish, like an electric current was flowing on it. It was a little numbing.

It was quite a funny feeling as it indicated the difference between them.

This time, she was fully prepared. She got off the car instantly after her successful sneak attack. Yan Beicheng did not even manage to scoop her back into the car.

He could only see her make a face at him from outside the car and ran towards the building entrance as if afraid he would catch her. She quickly took out her keys to open the unit door.

Yan Beicheng did not think about chasing after her. He sat in the car, laughing at her childish behavior. He held up his hand and softly caressed his jaw where she had kissed him. It still felt soft, like it had been touched by a marshmallow.

Yan Beicheng smiled to himself as he caressed his jaw, his dark eyes were starry. There was an aura of elegance about him, like spring had arrived early for him. It was too bad no one could witness how good-looking he was right now, otherwise, one would definitely crush on him so bad.

As he randomly looked up, he suddenly saw a BMW X1.

Yan Beicheng’s eyes narrowed as he turned on his headlights to see the license plate of the BMW X1 in front. It belonged to Cheng Ziming.

This man had just got married yesterday, what was he doing here looking for Lin Chu today?

How disgusting could this man be, harassing her continuously?

Yan Beicheng’s face went dark as he got off his car in a huff. He walked towards his car boot and took out the biggest hook he had in there.

This was the hook he had purchased online after using a fishing hook to puncture Cheng Ziming’s car tires the last time. The original hook had been gifted to Old Master Yan.

He was unable to find the hook he wanted, but he did find a treble hook, the kind used by those black-clothed men seen in television who were up to no good in the middle of the night. They were always using this hook to climb up a wall by tying it to a rope.

Yan Beicheng was excited over finding this hook online, this internet seller did sell many weird trinkets. So he bought one and took it apart, turning it into a hook that could fit by hand.

Ever since puncturing Cheng Ziming’s tires the last time, Yan Beicheng had decided to keep a spare tool in case of similar situations. Who knew he would need to use it someday? It looked like he was right to be prepared as this was the right time to use it.

Yan Beicheng looked around to make sure there was no one. In addition to his last experience, he had a bigger and longer hook, which made it easier to puncture all four tires. The speed of the air being let out was much faster.

Yan Beicheng returned the hook to his boot and stopped in front of the unit door. He pressed the button for Lin Chu’s home.

Xu Moyan was at home. She saw Yan Beicheng standing outside via the intercom but did not see Lin Chu. She thought Lin Chu must be standing next to him, which was why she was not seen on the screen, so she buzzed the door open.

...

Lin Chu came out from the elevator to see Cheng Ziming standing in front of her house. Her face immediately went grim.

Xu Moyan must not have known he was there, otherwise, she would have chased him away.

“What do you want from me again?” Lin Chu said impatiently. It was annoying.

Cheng Ziming asked sarcastically, “Does Yan Beicheng know the relationship between you and the owner of that Grand Cherokee?”

“What?” Lin Chu blinked as she was stunned.

Cheng Ziming interpreted it as Lin Chu being guilty and acted all superior, “Break up with Yan Beicheng. Initiate the breakup with him and I will leave you some dignity. Otherwise, I’ll tell Yan Beicheng that you were with a rich old man before him.”

Cheng Ziming snorted, “Well, it might be before him. Who knows, you might still be seeing him.”

Lin Chu found herself unable to even get mad about this. She could only ask speechlessly, “Why do you think that the owner of that Grand Cherokee is a rich, old man?”

Cheng Ziming was taken aback. He did not have evidence on this and did not even attempt to properly investigate this matter. This thought was just a preconceived notion of his.

When he first saw Lin Chu came out of the black Grand Cherokee, Yan Beicheng had not yet appeared. At that time, Lin Chu to him was the unloved lone daughter of the Lin family who had nothing. She was just a low-level employee in her company who earned just enough to survive. Even her house rental had to be shared with someone else.

She was the ex-girlfriend that he did not want. She would, of course, not be able to find someone better than him. Were there so many rich, good-looking young men out there?

She could only fulfill one condition out of the three.

He had thought that it was only right that Lin Chu could not find a good man. With someone of Lin Chu’s quality, if she wanted someone with money, there were not many choices for her. She would be considered lucky to be able to land someone rich.

“I had no idea when I became an old man,” a chilly voice suddenly came from behind him.

Lin Chu looked back in surprise and saw Yan Beicheng walking over.

Cheng Ziming’s face changed as he became nervous. He shuddered from the bottom of his heart upon seeing Yan Beicheng’s dark expression.

“Why didn’t you wear your coat out?” This was the first sentence that popped out of Lin Chu’s mouth upon seeing Yan Beicheng.

Yan Beicheng could not help but gave a gentle smile. He walked over and put his arm around her waist naturally, “I was waiting for you to turn on your bedroom lights in the car. Then I saw Cheng Ziming’s car. I was worried he would harass you so I quickly came up to take a look. I didn’t think about putting my coat on. It’s just a few steps up, it’s not that cold.”

Even so, Lin Chu still glared at him reproachfully as she did not agree with this. She was blaming him for not taking good care of himself.

Cheng Ziming’s face went grim. What did he mean by him harassing Lin Chu?

It was Lin Chu who would not let him go. She was the one that refused to let him live his life peacefully!

If Lin Chu could just live honestly and date someone normal, and never appear in front of them nor get involved in their social circle, he would never have come here for her!

This was all because of Lin Chu’s intent for trouble!

When he saw that Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng were making signals at each other as if no other people were around and ignoring him, he felt stuffiness in his chest.

Yan Beicheng did not look at Cheng Ziming when he said to Lin Chu, “Do you have Lin Yuwen’s number?”

“I do,” Lin Chu replied. She did not question him about needing the number and immediately searched for Lin Yuwen’s number.

Even though she did not contact Lin Yuwen, she still had the number.

Yan Beicheng took her phone and made the call, “Mrs. Cheng, this is Yan Beicheng. Your husband is now harassing Lin Chu at her house. Please come over and take him away. He’s already a married man yet he does not know to respect himself. This is giving me and Lin Chu a headache. I do hope that Mrs. Cheng will be able to control your own man and get him to stop paying attention to someone else’s girlfriend. It would be good for him to stay loyal after marriage.”

Cheng Ziming had not expected Yan Beicheng to contact Lin Yuwen directly.

Although he did tell Lin Yuwen that he had something that could be held against Lin Chu, but the old man who drove the Grand Cherokee was just a figment of his imagination. He did not dare tell Lin Yuwen that he was coming over to Lin Chu’s place tonight.

Lin Yuwen was an extremely jealous person. She had minded his past with Lin Chu very much. It would not help him at all even if he had explained why he was here. She did not want him to be alone with her.

There was no telling what Lin Yuwen’s reaction was at the other end of the line. He could not decipher anything with Yan Beicheng’s calm expression, which left no clue on his face. Yan Beicheng then hung up.

“Mrs. Cheng is on her way here,” Yan Beicheng said coldly.

“There’s no need. I’ll let her know not to come. I’ll leave myself,” Cheng Ziming said grim-faced. He walked towards the elevator and pressed the button. Yan Beicheng had just come out from the elevator, so it was still at this level.

The elevator door opened but Cheng Ziming did not immediately go in. He looked at Yan Beicheng, “Master Yan, you should be extra careful. But since you don’t believe me, there is nothing I can do or say. I just hope Master Yan would not be disappointed in the future.”

Cheng Ziming walked in the elevator after finishing his words.

Lin Chu was seething with anger. How could she not be angry?

They had already broken up. Besides, it was him, Cheng Ziming, who had cheated on her. What gave him the right to come here and malign her?

Why must Cheng Ziming wish the worse for her?

Before she and Yan Beicheng got together, Cheng Ziming and Lin Yuwen had taken turns showing off in front of her. They attempted to get her to admit that she was miserable, which would have cheered them up. They were, instead, upset when it did not bother her.

Now that she was with Yan Beicheng, here they were again pouring cold water on her. She wanted to ask them what were they thinking? Is there some sort of disease in their brains?!

“Go home first. I’ll take a look downstairs,” Yan Beicheng said as he rubbed Lin Chu’s soft hair on the head.

She was initially angry but with Yan Beicheng’s gentle touch on her head, her anger diminished in half.

“Wait a minute,” Lin Chu pulled on her sleeves and turned to open the door with her keys.

After opening her door, she turned back to remind him, “Don’t leave yet, I’ll be out in a minute.”

Lin Chu went in only after Yan Beicheng nodded.

After two or three minutes, she came out holding a huge black coat.

“We don’t have any men’s clothes at home. I bought this two months ago when the boyfriend coat became popular this year. The measurement is big and cutting is considered unisex. It won’t look bad on you. Put this on before you head down,” Lin Chu said as she gave Yan Beicheng the coat.

This was indeed a huge coat. The shoulder line fell onto the arms, which made women look smaller.

But Yan Beicheng just looked at it and did not take the coat from her hands. No matter how big it was, it was still a coat for women.

“Put it on quickly. It’s dark out, no one can see a thing,” said Lin Chu.

“...” Yan Beicheng could not say anything to reject her even though it was difficult for him to put on women’s clothes. It was also too embarrassing to wear it.

However, he could not bear to reject Lin Chu as he watched her being concerned over him and was trying her best to take care of him.

He nodded like a robot as his neck moved stiffly, but he still asserted, “If it doesn’t suit me, I’m taking it off.”

Lin Chu nearly laughed out, “Of course, it’s your decision. You are something. Such a big chunk of a man being so vain.”

Yan Beicheng claimed innocence as he mumbled, “This isn’t being vain!”

He continued mumbling about it but still stretched out his arms for Lin Chu to help put the coat on him. It surprisingly fitted him.

Yan Beicheng was tall and Lin Chu’s coat was the ‘boyfriend’ style. The original size was already too large for her but she had chosen a bigger size for herself. Now that it was on Yan Beicheng, the shoulders fitted. The length of the coat reached his thigh; it looked like a men’s coat meant for wearing over the suit, it did not look strange on him at all.

The black coat seemed to bring out the best of his physical attributes. He looked taller and slenderer. The lower hem was short, which brought out the best of his legs.

Lin Chu had bought the casual style. She rarely saw Yan Beicheng wear casual. Now that she looked at him, he looked chic and relaxed. It was a good look on him although it was different from his usual style.

“Isn’t this nice?” Lin Chu smiled as she took a picture of him with her phone.

Yan Beicheng looked at that picture. He did not expect himself to look quite normal. It looked like menswear, which gave him relief.

He tidied himself up and thought he looked good. He felt that he was naturally made for all types of clothes, he looked good in anything.

Lin Chu did not know that Yan Beicheng was indulging in his narcissism at that moment and hold on to his arms, “Let’s go. I’ll walk down with you.”

Yan Beicheng looked at her and walked with her into the elevator. Lin Chu explained, “If I knew you were leaving, I won’t accompany you. But I know you’ll be waiting downstairs, which means that I will be walking down with you.”

Yan Beicheng smiled and pulled her hand, clasping them in his. He suddenly said, “How about I bring over a few clothing items to keep here? If there was another situation like today, you can bring it out for me to wear.”

“There’s no room for them,” Lin Chu said tactlessly. They stepped out of the elevator.

After walking out of the unit door, they saw Cheng Ziming standing next to his car looking terrible. He was a little surprised upon seeing Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu.

Lin Chu was curious. He said he was leaving, right? Why was he still here?

She darted a look at Cheng Ziming and noticed the punctured tires.

“What are you looking at?” Yan Beicheng held on to her waist and squeezed it as he lowered his head to say quietly into her ears. His low, deep voice was a little cooling in the night air. He took the opportunity to bite her ear as if it was punishment for looking over at Cheng Ziming.

Lin Chu’s ear burned red, “What is this shot in the dark?! I was looking at him because he said he was leaving but he’s still here. I saw his punctured tires instead. That’s really a piece of bad luck.”

Lin Chu could not help but laugh at his misery.

Yan Beicheng gave a light laugh as well. He was feeling great seeing Lin Chu enjoying the scene. He could not help himself but kissed her on the corner of her lips.

Cheng Ziming watched the two getting intimate as if no one was around and got angry. He glared at them and noticed Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu walk towards the black Grand Cherokee. It was the same one he had seen driving Lin Chu around.

Yan Beicheng opened the car door and took out a coat to change. He returned Lin Chu’s coat to her and brought Lin Chu over to him.

Cheng Ziming went green as he saw Yan Beicheng look at him with a sarcastic laugh in his eyes.

It was only now that he had realized that it had been a total joke for him to assume that the Grand Cherokee belonged to an old man who was keeping Lin Chu as a mistress. The car had always belonged to Yan Beicheng.

He had seen the car picking up Lin Chu very early on.

If that was the case, was Lin Chu already with Yan Beicheng at an earlier time?

He and Lin Yuwen had come to her to accuse her of not letting him go. They had even advised her to find a normal man to spend her life with. Lin Chu might have been laughing at him all those times.

When she was introduced to Yang Zhiyuan, she must be thinking proudly that she already had someone as outstanding as Yan Beicheng, how could she even consider Yang Zhiyuan?

She had claimed that she did not care about money or statues, which was why she rejected Yang Zhiyuan. But in fact, she already had Yan Beicheng, who was so much richer and higher in social circles.

Cheng Ziming sneered and looked at Lin Chu sardonically. He had always known that she was a hypocrite.

Lin Chu was not aware that Cheng Ziming had so many nonsensical thoughts in his mind. All she knew was that Cheng Ziming and the others had a delusional paranoia, thinking that everyone was scheming around them while they were the purest and most naïve of all.

She was not willing to look at Cheng Ziming as she was disgusted with him. At her side, Yan Beicheng’s deeply rich voice drifted in the night’s cold wind, “Mr. Cheng, weren’t you leaving?”

Cheng Ziming looked up at this outstanding man in front of him. Yan Beicheng was half a head taller than he was. He looked elegant and handsome wearing his long, black coat.

However, the tone in his voice sounded colder than the night’s temperature and was filled with sarcasm.

“My tires are punctured by some uncivilized person,” Cheng Ziming said stiffly as he looked suspiciously at Yan Beicheng.

This was too much of a coincidence. The last time he came looking for Lin Chu, his car tires were punctured the next day after he went home. Today at Lin Chu’s house, his tires were once again punctured.

Cheng Ziming did not believe that this had nothing to do with Yan Beicheng.

However, it was difficult to imagine him doing something so degrading by looking at the upright charisma he was emanating now.

Seeing as Yan Beicheng did not react, Cheng Ziming insinuated, “Did Master Yan see any suspicious character coming near my car?”

Yan Beicheng replied calmly without changing his expression, “Nope. In this case, Mr. Cheng can wait here for Mrs. Cheng. We’ll be heading upstairs first.”

Cheng Ziming did not dare to confront Yan Beicheng. He could only watch as Yan Beicheng carefully brought Lin Chu upstairs.

Yan Beicheng did not immediately leave as he was feeling worried. He insisted on waiting for Lin Yuwen to pick up Cheng Ziming before leaving. So, Lin Chu let Yan Beicheng come into the house to wait.

Xu Moyan was putting on a facial mask while watching a variety show in the living room. When Lin Chu came in to bring her coat out, she knew it had something to do with Yan Beicheng. She was confident that Yan Beicheng would not come in. Who knew Lin Chu would bring Yan Beicheng back again.

Xu Moyan blinked. The green facial mask was still stuck on her face, which Yan Beicheng caught sight of. It was so embarrassing, “Lin Chu, why didn’t you tell me you were bringing someone back here! Look at me, this is so embarrassing! I’m hating you for life!”

She ran off after finishing her words.
