章節 159: Forever Grateful
Kang Liu Ran: "Don't you want to succeed grandfather?"
To this question, Kang Jun gave a small laugh. This reaction sent chills down Kang Liu Ran's spine. This freaked him out completely. So much so, that he was frozen in place. He didn't move at all until the bud of his cigarette fell on his fingers. Feeling the slow burn, the boy winced and then threw his cigarette to the floor.
Hearing Kang Liu Ran's scream, Lu AnLing and Lu Xia made their way to his side. The girls looked at him with concern and they both asked him if he was okay before they checked his burn.
At first, Kang Jun looked at his brother without any concern but when his wife began to show her worry for the boy, tenderness grew inside Kang Jun's eyes.
This shocked Kang Liu Ran so much that he began to become pale.
Noticing the change in his complexion, Lu AnLing turned to Kang Jun and said,
"Should we bring him to the hospital?"
Kang Jun shook his head. "This is the universe telling him he should quit smoking."
Hearing this and spotting a smidge of jealousy in Kang Jun, Lu Xia couldn't help but burst out in laughter.
"You might be right," She said as she wiped her tears of joy away.
"I'm happy you agree," Kang Jun said as he gave Lu Xia a nod. After doing this, he grabbed onto Lu AnLing's hand and then he intertwined his fingers with hers. "Now, If you'll excuse us, we have to go home. I hope you can keep our marriage a secret."
Lu Xia promised she wouldn't tell a soul and Kang Liu Ran had no choice but to do the same.
After this, Kang Jun nodded in approval before he slipped his arm around Lu AnLing's waist and pulled her away from the two.
The action made Lu AnLing blush so much that she forgot about the rest of the world around her.
The girl just allowed Kang Jun to whisk her away without saying her goodbyes to Lu Xia.
Though Lu Xia didn't mind one bit.
As she watched the couple leave hand in hand, Lu Xia couldn't help but beat the air and exclaim, "How cute!"
Seeing his fiancée's reaction, Kang Liu Ran laughed. He wasn't thrilled that Kang Jun had gotten married due to how it tipped the scale of powers in the mans favour but, in the end, he saw no real reason to be unhappy about his brothers union.
One thing that pissed Kang Liu Ran off the most about Kang Jun was the fact that the man took no pleasure in his achievements but now, with his wife, he seemed like he was the happiest man on earth.
So happy, that he didn't care about his, almost assured, position as the heir of the Kang's?
Kang Liu Ran couldn't shake off his shock.
But in the end, Kang Liu Ran had never understood his brother anyways. The only one who could possibly understand the man wholeheartedly was his wife.
In the car, Lu AnLing and Kang Jun continued to hold hands but then, Lu AnLing suddenly squeezed the mans hand hard. As if he had heard her say something, Kang Jun said,
"Mmm?"
Lu AnLing didn't say anything for a moment but then she turned to Kang Jun and said,
"Was that okay? You know... telling then we're married..."
Kang Jun shrugged. "There was barely any downside to telling them. Besides, your cousin seems like a good person."
To his statement, Lu AnLing smiled and said, "Yes, Xia is amazing."
Seeing the dazzling light Lu AnLing emitted made Kang Jun's heart swell up.
In truth, Kang Jun had only told Lu Xia that they were married because he wanted to cheer Lu AnLing up. He didn't even care that Kang Liu Ran was there.
After her grandmother had so cruelly hurt the girl, Kang Jun knew that Lu AnLing needed someone by her side. In a situation like this, he knew that his words weren't enough. She needed someone who she could share their marriage with and whom would be happy for her. At one point he wanted to allow her to mention it to Sheng but he feared that even that wouldn't have filled the void in her heart.
Sometimes a person just needed their family to acknowledge them and their decisions...
So, to Kang Jun, Lu Xia was a godsend. The girl was open minded, friendly and a family member. And to Kang Jun's happiness, the girl had brought a sparkle to Lu AnLing's eyes.
This was something that would make him forever grateful to the woman.
***
In the next few days, Kang Jun planned their trip to France. When he had asked Lu AnLing if she had anything she wanted to do, she had told the man to surprise her and this made his job a lot harder but he didn't mind.
They decided they would be going for about a week and a half where, in the first few days, Kang Jun was going to be forced to work but it was okay since Lu AnLing herself had things to do herself.
By some miracle, Lu AnLing had been able to contact Zeke on her first try. Apparently the man didn't like answering phone calls but when it came to emails, he was the quickest. Though because of how inconvenient they sometimes were, the man had told her to text him when she was in France and Lu AnLing obliged.
Over the next couple of days, before they left the country, Lu AnLing seldom left the house. She just played with Kang Mingyu and packed her bags for the trip.
Kang Mingyu would accompany her when she did that sort of thing and sometimes, Rong Lihua would come with snacks or to help her.
By now, Lu AnLing had gotten used to living in Kang Jun's home. So much so that it now felt like she was truly the young mistress of this home and, deep down, she was glad.
As she was packing, she expected Kang Mingyu to berate her with questions about when she was leaving and when she was coming back but instead, the boy quietly helped her with whatever she needed and he followed her like a lost puppy.
Seeing this, when Lu AnLing finally finished packing her bags she turned to the boy and gestured him to come sit on her and Kang Jun's bed.
"Sweetie, I'll be leaving soon. I'll be gone for only a week and a little bit okay?" She said to the boy. She had repeated that a great many times as she packed but for some reason she felt as if this was something she needed to do more before she left.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Kang Mingyu nodded.
Feeling as if her words didn't get through to him, she said,
"Will you be lonely without me?"
Kang Mingyu looked her in her eyes and then he nodded furiously. Seeing this cute gesture, Lu AnLing touched him on the cheeks and said,
"I will come back. So don't miss me too much. Do something fun, I'll see if Rong Xin can bring you out to play."
