I Transmigrated As A Villain's Mother

Chapter 43: The Past That Was Worse Than Death

After the incident with Di Zhongyang, Song Ci could not help but feel uneasy. When they returned home, she took the initiative and asked Lu Gan, “What scenes would you like to watch today?”

After saying that, she winked cutely.

Lu Gan felt like laughing. Whenever Song Ci was around, he would always feel oddly relaxed. Anyway, he found a book and selected a scene.

“This. When I watched the movie, the actor’s performance did not particularly stand out.”

“No problem! You can lie down and watch.”

It would be easier to fall asleep this way, but Song Ci kept this part to herself.

She was being really thoughtful.

Lu Gan leaned closer to her and said, “Why are you so obedient?”

“I’ve always been very obedient.”

Song Ci blinked her eyes and continued to act cute.

Lu Gan chuckled.

“You can practice first. I’m going to take a shower.”

“Do you need any help?” asked Song Ci.

......

Lu Gan turned around and replied, “Now you’re being naughty.”

Song Ci quickly pretended to be docile. After all, she would never purposely step into a minefield.

Lu Gan smiled again. He took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Song Ci looked at the scene she was about to perform. She was already prepared. However, Lu Gan had not come out from the showers yet. So, she took the agate bracelet that she had bought earlier and walked into Lu Suo’s room.

Lu Suo was already asleep. Song Ci gently placed the box on his bedside. It would be a surprise for him once he woke up.

After Song Ci left, Lu Suo opened his eyes. He was just pretending to be asleep. The little boy had been worrying about Lu Gan, so he had trouble sleeping. He opened the box and found an agate bracelet inside.

There was a small lock in the middle of the agate bracelet. It was exquisite and charming. Despite that, Lu Suo felt indifferent. He was already used to luxuries. After taking a look, he closed the box. Since Song Ci had left it on his bedside, she must have wanted it to be a surprise. In that case, he had to act accordingly tomorrow morning. This was too easy for him.

Lu Suo turned on the bedside lamp and walked out barefooted. He quietly tip-toed to Lu Gan’s room, wanting to hear the adults’ conversation.

The little boy leaned gently against the door and listened discreetly.

Lu Gan had just come out from the showers. Song Ci immediately took her turn.

“You don’t have to wait for me. Next time, just use the guest room’s bathroom.”

“I thought you were going to invite me to shower together.”

Song Ci said shyly. She was still in character.

Every time something like this happened, Lu Gan wondered if Song Ci really liked him. Why else would a girl be so proactive?

Song Ci leaned closer and asked, “Are you unwilling?”

Lu Gan felt helpless.

“Are you challenging me?”

“No.”

Song Ci shook her head. She gave him a look as if it was saying, “You’re embarrassed.”

Lu Gan realized this. It made him so angry that he almost fell from his wheelchair.

Song Ci immediately turned around and ran to the bathroom.

‘What is this woman thinking? She’s giving me a headache.’

At this moment, Lu Gan’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw the name “Su Youcheng”. The latter had sent him a message.

[ Lu Gan, I wanted to tell you this during our dinner, but I felt it was inappropriate. I’ve seen Song Ci and Di Zhongyang at the bar before. He did not pay much attention to her and was always surrounded by beautiful women. Although he was causing trouble earlier, I don’t think he was merely spouting nonsense. ]

Lu Gan thought about it and went to the balcony. Then, he gave Su Youcheng a call. The other party instantly picked up.

“Thank you. I know you’re looking out for my best interest.”

“There’s no need to thank me. I never expected things to turn out this way,” said Su Youcheng with a smile.

Lu Gan replied, “I didn’t expect it either.”

“Does she really like you?”

Su Youcheng asked curiously.

“I’m an outstanding person. Isn’t it normal for her to have a crush on me?”

“You’re finally lively again!”

“I’ve always been lively.”

Su Youcheng hung up the phone and sighed emotionally. The old Lu Gan was still alive, but that part of him was barely hanging onto life. He recalled how Lu Gan changed after the car accident. The latter would only quietly sit in his wheelchair and his eyes were cold. Moreover, the atmosphere surrounding him turned heavy and suffocating.
