Black Lotus

Still in the hospital, Uncle Xu took care of Wen Niannan. After he loosened the bandage on Wen Niannan’s forehead, his eyes reddened as he saw the hideous wound.  

“Uncle Xu, I’m fine,” said Wen Niannan while looking at Uncle Xu who was wiping his tears.

“How is this fine? This time, what your husband did was too much. You were always afraid of leaving scars on your body. Such injuries would definitely leave a scar.” 

As Wen Niannan listened to Uncle Xu, his nose suddenly felt stuffy as he looked up at the window while trying to hold back his tears. 

“I used to be afraid of leaving scars because Yansheng didn’t like it. I… I was afraid that he would dislike the appearance of scars on my body. He likes things to be perfect, and I…I’m not perfect.” 

As the words spilled out of his mouth, he couldn’t hold his tears back anymore as they started to flow down his cheeks. He didn’t get Gu Yansheng to love him while Shen Luoan was gone. Now that he’s back, do I still have a chance?

Wen Niannan wondered if it was really right for him to insist on marrying Gu Yansheng in the first place. He remembered the scene of an angelic-looking boy wearing a white suit, smiling drunkenly while playing the piano in his memory.

When Wen Niannan was fifteen, he went with his father to the birthday banquet of the Gu family’s old grandfather. He always thought of himself as inferior to others because he had lost his mother since he was very young and was bullied by other children.

Once again, the rich kids who teased him had locked him in a cabinet. Wen Niannan cried and begged them to let him out, but no one responded outside.

His small body curled up in the cabinet, his crying gradually weakened. Suddenly, the door opened, and a young man in a white suit reached out his hand to him. Wen Niannan threw himself into his arms and burst into tears. The young man patted his back as he cried until his crying finally gradually stopped.

Someone was calling a name in the distance. The boy stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly his clothes were being grabbed onto, and the person who was wiping his tears slowly uttered two words, “Thank you.” 

Wen Niannan made sure that there were no traces of tears left on his face. Once he was done, he pretended that nothing happened and returned to his father.

At this moment, there was a sigh of excitement in the center of the hall, and everyone circled around him. Wen Niannan and his father also walked over. Wen Niannan was stunned with only one glance.

It’s him…

A young man in a white suit was sitting in front of a piano playing a proficient tune, and the light on his face shone his facial features. His beautiful appearance made him look like an angel who had come to Earth. Everyone was wondering who the young man was.

Wen Niannan only felt that this scene had been imprinted in his heart for a long time and couldn’t calm down. He looked obsessively at the young man and listened to the music.

As he finished the piece, the boy opened his eyes, looked at the people around him coldly, and nodded slightly.

Grandpa Gu walked over with a smile where the young man was and hugged him. 

“Haha, that was a great piece. Your grandfather loves your gift.” 

The people around him took a deep breath, as the young man turned out to be Grandpa Gu’s grandson. The only son of the Lu family and the Gu family will be the person in charge of the two families.

“Let me introduce to you, my grandson who just returned from abroad, and the next successor to the Gu family, Gu Yansheng.” 

Since then, Gu Yansheng’s name had been carved into Wen Niannan’s heart. After returning home, he asked about him everywhere. He kept on begging his father to take him to every business party just to see Gu Yansheng more often.
