It was all just speculation before, just like we all thought Su Ning'an killed me, but I didn't see it with my own eyes.
We can only continue investigating until we find conclusive evidence.
The answer is crucial to me! Is the person who has been secretly harming me my own sister?
Lu Yanchen's movements didn't stop, his large hands, stained with essential oil, kneading my waist with a gentle, yet not heavy, pressure.
"We weren't wrong. She's not your sister. At least your sister was still alive when she took the sample. But after all these years, your sister..."
The moment the truth was finally revealed, a complex wave of emotions welled up in my chest.
I'd asked the heavens countless times, why could Su Ning'an do this to me when she was clearly my sister? Even when she fell into the water and disappeared as a child, it wasn't my fault.
Now, I finally have the answer. "She came here for revenge from the very beginning!"
"Yes."
"No wonder I died so tragically. She prepared for years, step by step, until she pushed me to my death. So this is the reason."
My fingers clutched the bed sheet tightly. "My poor sister... Is she still alive?"
In fact, my memory of my sister is vague. My only recollection is those old photos.
After Su Ning'an returned, those photos gradually disappeared.
Perhaps she wanted us to forget what she looked like, to subtly dilute our impression of her. "I'm afraid you'll have to prepare for the worst. But Wanwan, now that we know Su Ning'an's true identity, do you want to alert the Su family?"
I shook my head. "No rush. Two members of the Su family have died in quick succession, and Grandma is still in the hospital. They've become suspicious of Su Ning'an, and she won't dare attack anyone in the Su family anytime soon. Exposing her identity would likely alert them, and we don't have any further, better leads."
"What if someone in the Su family gets into trouble again?"
My eyes darkened. "Then let them deserve it."
If even one person had come forward to seek me out after my death, I wouldn't be so heartbroken today.
They owe me this!
If they don't make it until I find the evidence, then Mrs. Su's words will ring true: they're just unlucky. "But Su Ning'an's plan was thwarted by my rebirth. She's pregnant, so the process will surely be accelerated. Can you think of sending a few people from the Su family to serve as spies?"
"I'll find a way."
"Let's attack from several avenues simultaneously. If she makes even the slightest move, I doubt we'll be able to find out!"
Su Ning'an is getting married after the New Year. I'm really looking forward to the Fu family finding out the child isn't Fu Xici's. It'll be a spectacular scene.
As my thoughts drifted, Lu Yanchen spoke:
"It's almost New Year, so she shouldn't make any moves these days. Let's stop dwelling on these worries and enjoy the New Year. Look at how excited you are when you mention her. Are you feeling better?"
"I feel much better after you pressed on me like that."
Lu Yanchen's fiery fingertips slowly slid down from my waist. "Wanwan, if you're feeling better, can I..."
His voice trailed off, a captivating magnetic force, his fiery breath brushing against my ear. One moment, I was consumed with thoughts of revenge against Su Ning'an, and the next, he pulled me into an ambiguous atmosphere.
"Sorry, Wanwan, I know you're tired, but I just can't control my emotions..."
Before he could finish, I leaned into his arms, biting his earlobe. "Ayan, you said we're husband and wife. You don't need my consent for this kind of thing..."
My fingers unbuttoned his buttons one by one, gently biting his Adam's apple.
"Ayan, you can touch me with your oil-coated fingers, but be gentle..."
The man's eyes darkened, and the next moment, my breath was taken away by him.
But I happily accepted it.
Who made my husband such a purehearted man?
I wonder if he'll have to report every time he gets intimate with me from now on?
I felt his respect and consideration, and I wanted to make good on this hard-earned marriage.
Satisfying her partner's sexual needs is also a wife's responsibility. Besides, I don't dislike this kind of thing at all.
If it were Lu Yanchen, he would only make me happy.
I just didn't expect that we would spend a whole day and night together, on and off.
Aside from resting and restocking our food, we spent most of our time tossing and turning in this little home that belonged only to us.
I finally understood why he didn't want to stay at the Lu family's.
Although the Lu family was large, it was still a large family with many servants, so there was no freedom to be outside.
And Lu Yanchen had chosen a prime courtyard. To conceal the secret of his legs and feet, there weren't any tall buildings nearby.
While this building was clearly located in the city, our villa had a great orientation and was extremely private.
When he pressed me against the floor-to-ceiling window, the snow fluttered outside, and inside was his hot body.
That feeling of forbidden secrecy was indescribable.
After enough of our mischief, I woke up the next day and he was still by my side, a rare sight.
Even in sleep, our bodies were still tightly entwined, inseparable. "Baby, are you awake?" His voice, deep and sensual, echoed from above.
I met his sleepy eyes, thinking back to how I'd always feared him, thinking he was an unattainable god.
But now, I'd finally dragged this god down into the mortal realm.
Let him be smitten with all the emotions, sinking happily into them.
I put my arm around his neck and rubbed his face affectionately. "I love A-Yan so much."
His sleepiness faded a little. "Baby, say it again."
I leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I love A-Yan..."
