Chapter 698
She pinched her sleeves, and her loose hair covered half of her face, so her expression could not be seen.
"Jiang Lan." Lu Jingchi paused his hands in the air for a while before calling her.
Jiang Lan lowered his head and ignored him.
At this moment, her whole body exuded helplessness, weakness, and uneasiness, like a prey trapped in a trap.
Lu Jingchi's hand still fell on her face, supported her face, and pushed her face back.
"What are you doing?" he said, and the rest of his words stopped abruptly.
Jiang Lan bit her lip, looked at him uneasily, raised her hand to take his hand away, and then turned to twist the door handle.
The next second, her slender hand pressed on the door, preventing her from opening the door.
Jiang Lan's eyelashes trembled. She turned her back to the man and did not dare to look back.
Lu Jingchi stared at her thin back, and in a daze, he remembered that she was like this after being looked down upon by others when she first came to the Lu family.
Isolate yourself from the world and hide in the barriers you have built.
He was quiet and didn't interact with anyone. When he was bullied, he squatted in the corner by himself without getting angry or complaining.
She looks so weak, but no one can get close to her.
Until, when he took her out from the utility room, she took the initiative to hug him for the first time and buried her face in his neck.
It was also at that time that she walked out of her safe house and tried to get close to him, and then, he replaced her own safe house.
Although she is young and ignorant, she can feel the malice and kindness in others.
Lu Wanrou also pretended to be nice to her and took her to play, then tricked her into going to the pool in the backyard and pushed her down.
She shouldn't trust anyone anymore, but when he took her out of the utility room, she still mustered up the courage to try to get close to him.
From being cautious at the beginning to being unscrupulous later, I watched her grow so big.
Everyone who knows him knows how important he is to Jiang Lan. It is probably to the extent that he cannot live without him.
Everyone felt that she couldn't live without him, and no matter what he did to her, she would never leave.
Some people once joked that if they asked her to wait for Lu Jingchi's girlfriend during confinement, she would probably go.
But now, she doesn't recognize him.
Why can't she live without him? Now she wants to be far away from him immediately, treating him like a scourge.
She looked at him the same way she looked at Lu Wanrou and Mrs. Lu when she first arrived at the Lu family.
He was frightened and uneasy, and he was cautious and did not dare to resist.
Just, suddenly, everything seemed to be back to square one.
After twenty years of companionship day and night, in just a few hours, she completely forgot about him, and from then on there was someone else to replace him.
Lu Jingchi looked at her for a long time.
Finally, he slowly withdrew his hand, put it on her shoulder, pulled her over, and hugged her from behind.
He leaned against her ear and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Tears welled up in Jiang Lan's eyes, and she tensed up and did not dare to move.
Lu Jingchi hugged her for a moment, then let her go and picked her up again.
Jiang Lan's body suddenly hung in the air, and she hugged his neck tightly in fear.
Lu Jingchi carried her to the bed, put her on the bed, grabbed the quilt and covered her.
