He was tall, about the same height as Xiao Minxing, but he was noticeably more robust. His features were ordinary, yet they complemented each other well, so he could be considered good-looking.
He was Lu Yishan's brother, Lu Yiheng.
I had seen him only a few times, but he left a deep impression on me, not because of him, but because of his sister.
He walked around the back of the car and slowly approached me, taking a look and saying, "It's really you? I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."
I felt awkward and forced a smile without saying anything.
He glanced ahead and asked, "Are you heading home?"
I nodded.
He lightly nodded back and said, "If you don't mind, can I ride with you for a bit?"
How could I dare to mind? It was already quite nice to run into someone I knew. Although this person was somewhat my adversary, he clearly seemed different from Lu Yishan; at least I felt he was much more honest.
The most crucial point was that if I really walked home like this, my legs would probably give out.
After he got into the car, I remembered to ask, "Do you live around here too?"
Lu Yiheng shook his head and said, "No, I'm here for an external consultation."
I nodded in a way that suggested I understood but didn't really. Unable to find another topic to discuss, I turned my head to look out the car window.
It seemed he didn't talk much either. The car wasn't going fast; I glanced at the speedometer—it read thirty miles per hour. On this kind of road, that was crawling. I wondered if his patients could wait that long.
However, in the end, this is someone else's business. As long as I have a car now, it doesn't matter how slow it is; it's still faster than walking, so I just let it go at its own pace.
As we approached the villa area, Lu Yi Heng finally spoke again, and his tone was a bit awkward. After clearing his throat a couple of times, he said, "I feel like you have some hostility towards me."
I quickly turned my head and sat up straight, looking at him for two seconds before shaking my head and saying, "No, no."
Lu Yi Heng looked at me strangely and said, "That's good. Actually, you don't need to care about what others think. Just listen to your own inner voice."
This day must be unusual; two people were talking to me about "inner feelings," one being a fool and the other a doctor. Both are not the emotional type but conveyed incredibly emotional messages to me.
However, I didn't plan to say anything to Lu Yi Heng. If he went back and told Lu Yishan about my experiences today, she might laugh herself to death on the spot. Before dying, she would probably say that this person bullied by Xiao Minxing would eventually return Mrs. Xiao's position to her.
The scene of Xiao Minxing getting drunk had such a huge impact on me that even now it makes my heart feel numb. I even wondered if that night in the hotel, Xiao Minxing treated me like Lu Yishan, which is why she acted so crazily and recklessly. People like them wouldn't leave any evidence for an unarmed woman to threaten them, right?
While I was lost in these thoughts, the car had already arrived at the entrance. I hurriedly got out of the car, glancing inside the door in fear of encountering that elusive person again, unsure of what trouble might arise.
Lu Yi Heng also got out of the car. He seemed more composed than when he was inside and softly said goodbye before getting back in and leaving.
The courtyard was dark; the living room lights were off, and only a faint glow seeped through the curtains from Xiao Minxing's room.
I tried to be quiet as I went upstairs and finally breathed a sigh of relief after pushing open the door to my own room.
But as soon as I turned on the light, I screamed in shock.
Xiao Minxing was standing by my window, staring at me with intense eyes.
His complexion was very poor, and he hadn't even changed his clothes; he had only loosened the collar a bit and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows.
I was still in shock, too afraid to move, standing at the entrance staring at him. Just seeing him make a move made me feel like he was going to pounce on me, completely like a startled bird.
Fortunately, he didn't move at all; instead, he ordered me, "Come here."
I didn't go over and stood there asking him, "What are you doing here?"
His expression seemed to suggest he had heard the biggest joke: "This is my home. Do I need a reason to be here?"
"But this is my room..."
Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me: "You won't have your own room anymore. Everything here needs to be packed up and moved into my room."
"Ah... why?" I asked unconsciously, as this statement was simply too unexpected, or rather, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
However, Xiao Minxing's face instantly changed. He stepped closer and pinned me against the wall, his gaze cold as he squeezed out each word: "What do you think?"
I was completely overwhelmed by his aura, my mind went blank, and I couldn't think of anything to say. After a long pause, I hesitantly replied with four words: "I don't know."
Xiao Minxing loosened his grip, and my legs gave way as I slid down to the ground. I heard him say in a strange tone, "If you don't know, then don't ask too much. Just move your things in."
To be honest, his bedroom was the master bedroom; it was spacious and included a walk-in closet, a bathroom, and a terrace. He himself was the kind of person who preferred simplicity and hardly decorated it at all, so whenever I entered the bedroom, it felt cold and empty due to both the space and his own nature.
The room I lived in was a secondary bedroom. Although it also had a terrace and a bathroom, aside from two closets and a simple set of tables and chairs, there was no room for anything else.
I have longed for this big bed before. When we first got married, I wanted to embrace him and sleep here almost every night. However, after experiencing many things later on, it became a taboo for me. Just thinking about it makes me tremble all over.
Tonight, I don't know what got into Xiao Minxing, but he actually wants me to move in?
He has already gone out the door, while I lean against the doorframe, unable to understand his intentions. I really don’t want to continue like this forever. What gives him the right to always control me?
Is it just because I love him?
Because I can't bear to leave him, he keeps using my feelings against me. When he is out with his ex, I can't say a word; when he throws me aside late at night, I can’t say a word either. Finally back home, I still have to endure his bullying.
Forget it. Perhaps Lu Yishan's appearance is a reminder that everything has come to an end. I am merely a tool for Xiao Minxing to vent his primal urges when she is not around. Now that the main character has returned, we should also come to an end.
Thinking this, I turned and closed the bedroom door, locking it from the inside as if I hadn’t heard his words, and went straight to take a shower and sleep.
But when I came out of the bathroom, I realized it was bad.
The door was wide open; yes, it was open with the key still hanging there. Xiao Minxing had a dark expression on his face, with veins popping at his temples.
He must be really furious; even his lips were trembling, and his teeth were grinding together with a clicking sound.
“Very well, it seems it's time to teach you a lesson again, you liar. You will never change your nature.”
