Because she was addicted

The car circled the hospital several times before the hospital gate reappeared in front of us.

Wen Jia saw that Lu Chenyan was standing at the front door at some point.

The car screeched to a halt right in front of him.

Lu Chenyan strode over, opened the car door, bent down and climbed in to take Wen Jia's hand.

"Jiajia, get off the bus."

Seeing this, Madam Lu became anxious and tried to get out of the car, but Lu Chenyan stopped her inside.

"What are you doing here again?" he said bluntly.

Madam Lu retreated sheepishly, looking at Lu Chenyan outside the carriage and murmuring:

"Ayan, Mom is worried about your injury."

"If you're worried about my injury, come see me. What's the meaning of going to Wen Jia?" Lu Chenyan held Wen Jia's hand tightly. "Mom, it's my decision not to go back. You don't need to make things difficult for Wen Jia. And don't even think about using Madam Fu's underhanded methods to break us up. Believe me, if you dare to do that, I will never go back in this lifetime."

Madam Lu waved her hands repeatedly, "Ayan, you've misunderstood your mother. I didn't mean that. I just wanted to talk to Miss Wen about your condition."

"I'm not sick!"

Lu Chenyan suddenly roared.

Standing beside him, Wen Jia could clearly feel his body tense, all his muscles taut, and his whole demeanor suddenly exuding a fierce aura. Wen Jia was startled by this sudden change, and Madam Lu, sitting opposite him, didn't dare to utter a sound.

Perhaps realizing his loss of composure, Lu Chenyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and took Wen Jia's hand to walk back.

Only then did Wen Jia notice that he wasn't wearing a coat, but just a cardigan, and there was a pool of blood on the back of his hand.

He pulled out the IV needle.

"Why did you come out like this? You didn't even put on an extra layer of clothing. You'll catch a cold later."

Wen Jia held his hand; her fingers were slightly cool.

Lu Chenyan's expression was not good. "You've been gone for a long time. I was worried about you."

Hearing that Lin Zhidong had returned to China, Lu Chenyan was worried that Lin Zhidong would cause trouble for Wen Jia. However, to his surprise, it wasn't Lin Zhidong who came, but his mother.

"I went out to buy some food and unexpectedly ran into the auntie. She was very worried about you, so we chatted for a bit."

Wen Jia didn't say anything bad about Madam Lu, so there was no need to sow discord between the mother and son.

Lu Chenyan clearly didn't believe it. "Really?"

"Yes. Auntie misses you a lot during the Lunar New Year. Ah Yan, why don't you go back and see your dad?"

"What's so great about my dad? He's never liked me since I was little, he only likes my older brother. Isn't having my older brother with him enough? I'm not going back."

Hearing Lu Chenyan say this, Wen Jia's heart sank even further.

"Big brother..." she hesitated for a moment, "What have you been busy with lately?"

"I haven't called him in a long time. He said he was looking at projects in Europe and would be staying for a while. Jiajia, why don't we go to Europe to visit him? You happen to have some time off."

Seeing Lu Chenyan's enthusiastic expression, Wen Jia couldn't bear it.

"Okay, but we'll have to wait until you're healed. I'll take time off work to go with you then."

After all that fuss, I lost my appetite and decided to just finish the IV drip and go home. That evening, Wenlin prepared a table full of dishes, and the family ate dinner together.

"Jiajia, did you buy medicine?"

Wen Lin suddenly asked.

Wen Jia's hand, which was eating, froze as she remembered this, nearly choking to death.

"Cough cough cough, right, sis, where's my medicine?"

"It's over there. It's such a big bag, what did you buy?" Wen Lin said, reaching out to take it.

Startled, Wen Jia quickly got up to grab it.

"It's nothing, just some common medicines like cold medicine."

"That won't be enough."

Wen Lin looked at her strangely.

Why are you blushing?

"Who's blushing!"

Wen Jia grabbed the pills and hurried to her room. She opened the box and thankfully, the birth control pills were just a small box; no one would have noticed them mixed in with other pills.

She took it out and put it in the bedside table, planning to eat it secretly that night.

Back in the living room, Wen Lin and Lu Chenyan both gave her strange looks.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chenyan asked.

"It's okay. You've eaten, so you should go back to sleep."

"But I still want to stay and play cards..."

"Why are you playing cards? You still have a fever. Let's go, let's go."

"Then you take it to me."

"Why would you deliver something right at the door?"

"Jiajia, see him off. Isn't Ayan running a fever? Go see if he needs any help. There's nothing else at home anyway," Wenlin said.

Ruoruo cried out.

Since Wen Lin had already spoken, Wen Jia escorted him to the opposite door.

At the door, Wen Jia stopped. "I'm going back."

"Want to go for a walk?" Lu Chenyan held onto her hand, refusing to let go. "I ate too much for dinner, I'm so full. I won't be able to sleep when we get back. How about you take me to the beach to set off fireworks?"

He stood in the dimly lit stairwell, head bowed, pleading with her in a pitiful voice.

When Wen Jia thought about what he had gone through, and about how he would have to go back and face the darkness and loneliness alone, his heart ached and swelled.

"OK."

Wen Jia tenderly cupped his face in her hands.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Wen Jia took Lu Chenyan to a fireworks shop and bought a lot of fireworks, then headed towards the beach.

The beach was crowded with couples and families setting off fireworks. Brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky, and amidst the sounds of firecrackers, people cheered and screamed.

Lu Chenyan arranged the fireworks on the ground and lit them with a lighter.

Then he quickly ran back and hugged Wenjia.

Colorful fireworks exploded with a crackling sound, and Wen Jia was so frightened that she shrank into Lu Chenyan's arms.

Because they bought a lot, they gradually attracted many people around them.

Lu Chenyan generously shared the fireworks with the children watching, and everyone set them off together. In an instant, the open seaside became even more lively.

The fireworks illuminated the entire beach as if it were daytime.

Looking at the magnificent night sky, Wen Jia had never felt so calm.

She looked up and gently kissed Lu Chenyan's lips, saying amidst the sound of firecrackers:

"Lu Chenyan, let's get married."

……

The noisy world seemed to suddenly stand still at this moment.

Lu Chenyan's face first showed surprise, then delight, and finally, tears of joy. He suddenly hugged Wen Jia tightly, his eyes filled with tears.

"Jiajia, what did you say?"

Wen Jia pulled her hands out of her pockets, cupped Lu Chenyan's face in her hands, and said earnestly:

"I said, Lu Chenyan, let's get married! Just you and me, let's have a destination wedding, we'll leave tomorrow."

Fireworks soared into the sky, bursting into bloom before Lu Chenyan's eyes.

He held Wenjia and spun her around in the air, his joy overflowing.

"Am I dreaming? I'm going to have a wife, Jiajia, you're going to marry me."

He held Wenjia in his arms, and looking around at everyone, he called out to them whether he knew them or not:

"She's going to marry me."

"I'm going to have a wife."

Passersby on the beach could also sense his overflowing joy and offered their blessings.

"Put me down."

Wen Jia was so dizzy from being spun around in his arms that she was laughing so hard she almost choked.

Lu Chenyan, however, refused to let go.

"I want to hold you forever and never let go."

"You still have a fever! And you're injured. Put me down, or your back will crack again." Wen Jia patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"I'd be willing to die right now if you married me."

Lu Chenyan held Wen Jia tightly in his arms.

At that moment, he felt like he owned the whole world.

The revelry on the beach continued until late at night before gradually dissipating.

Lu Chenyan held Wen Jia's hand, their fingers intertwined as they strolled along the coastal highway.

"Jiajia, you said you don't like having weddings, so we won't. We're leaving tomorrow, first stop Dali. That's where we met, the place where our dreams began. Second stop, Europe. I want to take you to meet my older brother and introduce you to him personally."

"it is good."

Wen Jia looked back at him, her heart filled with a bittersweet feeling.

The two were so engrossed in their happiness that they didn't notice a large truck loaded with goods was hurtling toward them from a short distance behind them.

"squeak!"

With a sharp screech of tires, Wen Jia was suddenly and violently pushed aside. The next second, she saw Lu Chenyan, who had just been laughing and talking to her, suddenly fly into the air. The afterimage of the truck flashed past her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, she fell onto the roadside green belt.

Not far away, Lu Chenyan tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground and rolling more than ten meters away.

"Ayan!"

Wen Jia heard herself let out a deafening scream...
