[ABO] After Accidental Marking, I Became Everyone’s Darling chapter 55
Chapter 55
An Le knew how terrifying An Qiang was. He could even buy off people from the Omega Protection Association. Neither his scheming nor his methods were something An Le could handle.
Therefore, even if Lu Heng didn’t say it, he would listen to Lu Heng completely.
Lu Heng patted his hand and pulled him to sit on the sofa. Before An Qiang could speak, he said directly, “Father-in-law, I’ll be troubling you with Le Le for a while. Although I’m busy during the day, I’ll find time to come and spend time with Le Le every night.”
An Qiang: …
Lu Heng: “Also, Le Le is soft-hearted and easily bullied. I’ll have Li Jie act as his personal bodyguard, and he will also stay here with him these days. Father-in-law, you don’t mind, do you?”
Li Jie stood straight, bowing politely, “Hello, Mr. An.”
An Qiang: !!!
He wanted An Le to come back and live alone. What’s with stuffing two alphas into his house?
Lu Heng only coming over at night was fine.
But what about Li Jie? This guy beat him up yesterday so badly that he couldn’t go to work today, and he still needed painkillers to go out.
An Qiang was furious. Just as he was about to refuse, Lu Heng preempted him, “Father-in-law, you only just publicly announced that Le Le is your most beloved son. Since you love Le Le so much, you won’t refuse.”
An Qiang gritted his teeth. He couldn’t say a word, completely blocked by Lu Heng.
He had hastily released the video today saying An Le was his most beloved son. This would definitely attract social attention in the next few days, and people might come to his house to sneak photos.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to treat An Le as he did before, nor could he be too cold towards An Le.
As for the bodyguard…
An Qiang sneered, “Xiao Lu, what are you saying? Le Le is back home, what does he need a bodyguard for? Besides, Li Jie has been with you for so many years, he’s used to it. Even if Le Le needs a bodyguard, I can arrange someone else for him. As for Li Jie, it’s better for him to stay with you.”
Li Jie didn’t care about An Qiang arranging his whereabouts; he was definitely going to stay.
He didn’t participate in their conversation, wandering around the living room, looking for valuable items.
Lu Heng also laughed, “It’s different. Precisely because I’ve used Li Jie for many years, I trust him.”
Lu Heng wouldn’t budge, insisting on Li Jie staying.
An Qiang understood his meaning, but if Li Jie stayed, how could they work on An Le?
Finally, he turned his gaze to An Le and asked with a forced smile, “Le Le, tell Dad, do you need a bodyguard at home? And Xiao Lu is so good to you, he’s used to Li Jie, you can’t compete with him for him, right?”
Suddenly called upon, An Le looked up in a panic, looking at An Qiang’s cunning smile. He was stunned for a moment, then whispered, “I… I listen to Sir.”
Lu Heng looked at An Qiang with satisfaction, showing some helplessness.
An Qiang was so angry he almost spat blood. He knew that if he didn’t agree to this request, Lu Heng definitely wouldn’t let An Le stay.
Finally, he could only nod in agreement. Anyway, the people were here, there was always a way.
Lu Heng pulled An Le, and they were taken to the upstairs guest room by a maid.
The guest room was newly cleaned, very clean and tidy, completely different from where he had stayed before.
An Le felt somewhat emotional, his gaze sadly looking down from the corridor.
Suddenly, he felt his hand being grabbed. Turning his head, Lu Heng was standing beside him, leaning down and whispering in his ear, “This mansion was originally in your mother’s name. It was only put in An Qiang’s name after your mother died. Give me a sweet kiss, and I’ll help you get it back, okay?”
“It was Mom’s?”
An Le’s gaze was somewhat dazed, but he still tiptoed and kissed Lu Heng’s cheek twice.
His face flushed, he softly called, “Sir.”
Lu Heng, satisfied, hugged him, “Le Le, don’t worry. Everything An Qiang owes you in this life will be returned to you.”
Everything.
An Le thought of the things his mother had left behind—photos, clothes, and some toys.
All the toys his mother bought him were taken by An Yi, and eventually, after he got bored with them, he smashed them and threw them away in front of An Le, not allowing him to pick them up.
The photos were torn up, and the clothes and jewelry were worn by An Yi’s mother.
Thinking of this, An Le couldn’t help but get teary-eyed. He wanted to ask if he could look for the jewelry his mother had left behind, because everything else had been destroyed, only the jewelry remained. It was the only thing he could use to remember his mother.
But before he could speak, he saw a graceful and luxurious omega woman walk into the downstairs hall.
The woman was exquisite and beautiful, looking only in her thirties. She was wearing a black long dress, a precious ruby necklace around her neck, and a small fan in her hand. She smiled as she entered, “Honey~”
An Qiang had just come out of the restroom. Seeing Luo Ping return, he subconsciously glanced upstairs and happened to meet An Le’s gaze. He quickly pulled Luo Ping to a place where An Le couldn’t see them.
“Sir.”
An Le’s voice was soft but incredibly calm.
Lu Heng whispered, “What is it?”
An Le pursed his lips, “That woman, she… she’s wearing Mom’s ruby necklace.”
Lu Heng paused, then asked, “Le Le wants to get it back?”
An Le looked up, his eyes full of anticipation as he softly asked, “Can I?”
“Yes.”
Lu Heng curled his lips, “Le Le, these days you’re at the An family. You can do whatever you want. If you have any difficulties or can’t decide, you can call me or ask Li Jie. He will teach you and help you solve them.”
“But the prerequisite for doing all this is that you must ensure your own safety.”
Lu Heng could indulge An Le in doing anything, but An Le must ensure his own safety before doing so.
Moreover, besides what An Le wanted to do, he also had something else he wanted An Le to do.
Looking at the empty hall, Lu Heng leaned down and whispered a few words in An Le’s ear. An Le’s expression was somewhat fearful, but he still nodded firmly.
—
Lu Heng was supposed to return to the company, but he claimed he was worried about An Le’s first day at the An family and insisted on staying to keep him company, firmly staying at the An family.
At lunch, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
An Qiang and Luo Ping sat on one side, opposite An Le and Lu Heng.
An Le ate what was in his bowl, his head down the whole time.
Luo Ping smiled, “Le Le, you’re finally back. You must have suffered a lot these past two years. Come, now that you’re home, don’t be polite, eat more.”
She said as she served An Le some food.
An Le saw Luo Ping using the public chopsticks to serve him celery, and his entire body tensed up.
He instinctively tried to dodge with his bowl, but he saw Lu Heng reaching out to cover his bowl, whispering in a low voice, suppressing his anger, “No need. Le Le is allergic to celery. Please be careful, Mrs. An.”
Luo Ping was instantly stunned.
Lu Heng called An Qiang “Father-in-law” but called her “Mrs. An,” implying that he didn’t acknowledge her as An Qiang’s wife.
Luo Ping’s face turned green in an instant.
An Qiang quickly held her hand and scolded in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know Le Le is allergic to celery?”
Luo Ping’s expression only turned ugly for a moment before she immediately used her charm, grabbing An Qiang’s arm and saying in a soft and coquettish voice, “Honey, I’m sorry. Le Le wasn’t close to us before, and he’s only been back after two years. I forgot…”
Luo Ping was beautiful and looked young. An Qiang was easily swayed by her. Besides, he already thought An Le was wrong, so he didn’t rebuke Luo Ping too much. He just said, “Le Le will be living with us for a while, so be careful.”
Luo Ping pouted and smiled, “Okay, honey, let’s eat~”
She served An Qiang his favorite dishes as she spoke.
Looking at the couple opposite them, although An Le wasn’t happy, he thought for a moment and served Lu Heng a piece of beef.
Because they had been living together these days, he discovered that Lu Heng had a special obsession with beef. No matter how it was cooked, every meal must have beef.
Lu Heng looked at the beef in his bowl, smiled, ate it, and then served An Le a chicken leg.
The two of them were lovey-dovey, completely ignoring the annoying couple opposite them. By the time the couple realized it, it was too late. Lu Heng didn’t hold back, regardless of whether An Le could finish it or not, he served all of An Le’s favorite dishes into his bowl.
An Le’s bowl was overflowing. Lu Heng took a plate and started piling food onto it, putting most of the dishes on the table in front of An Le.
An Le blushed and softly pleaded, “Sir, enough. I… I can’t finish it.”
Lu Heng: “It doesn’t matter if you can’t finish it. Eat as much as you can, and the rest can be given to the dogs.”
Luo Ping: …
An Qiang: …
This was the most satisfying meal An Le had had at the An family since his mother’s death.
His stomach was full, but his bowl was still piled high, and his plate was also full of food.
He said somewhat embarrassedly, “It’s… a little wasteful.”
Wasting food was shameful and should be avoided.
But Lu Heng laughed, “Where’s the waste? Can’t we feed it to the dogs outside?”
Saying this, he wiped An Le’s mouth with a napkin and said to An Qiang, “We’re done eating, Father-in-law and Mrs. An, enjoy yourselves slowly.”
An Le subconsciously looked at An Qiang and Luo Ping’s expressions. Both of them were so angry they could barely contain themselves.
Lu Heng specifically picked their favorite dishes to serve An Le, and the dishes An Le disliked were left on the plate. The dishes An Le liked were all piled into his bowl, ruining a whole table of food.
Even the dogs couldn’t eat them.
An Le went upstairs with Lu Heng and happened to see An Yi, leaning on his cane and hopping, walking out.
Their eyes met, and An Yi instantly smiled triumphantly, but said nothing, using his cane to go downstairs.
An Le whispered, “Sir, Mom’s jewelry is all… in that woman’s room. How… should I get it?”
Luo Ping had been occupying his mother’s things for so many years. If he suddenly asked for them, she certainly wouldn’t give them, and might even hide the jewelry.
Therefore, he needed to come up with a foolproof plan to act.
Lu Heng pulled An Le into the room. He sat on the bed, pulled An Le into his arms, and whispered, “Did you see how she acted coquettishly towards An Qiang just now?”
An Le nodded blankly, “Yes.”
Lu Heng had An Le face him, sitting on his lap, and then pinched An Le’s waist and pushed him backward.
Lu Heng suddenly leaned back, An Le was startled, and when they stopped, he found himself straddling Lu Heng, and cried out in panic, “Sir…”
