Black Lotus - Chap 86
It was late at night, the whole house was quiet and dreadful, a man sitting on the sofa in the living room. The moonlight outside get through the window, hitting his face, the expression under light was unreadable.
Frowning, Tang Lunxuan looked at the family portrait hanging on the wall, feeling very uncomfortable, he remembered the first day of school, Tang Shuo was being bullied by his classmates, he helped Tang Shuo scare away the students who bullied him.
“Brother… are you going to protect me forever?”
“Yes, brother not only will protect you, but brother will also protect father, mother, and our home…”

Tang Lunxuan raised his hand, taking off his glasses, he rubbed his eyes gently, covering them.
Do you really want to cut off Tang Shuo’s relationship with Mr. Wen? What will he do to Tang Shuo?
Do you dare to risk Qiyue?
If Tang Shuo dares to get close to Wen Niannan, I can’t guarantee that he won’t have an accident…
No, Tang Shuo can no longer meet Mr. Wen, Lu Yun’s warning couldn’t be more obvious. She saw that he was unwilling to sacrifice his younger brother in exchange for a happy future, so she immediately threatened Tang Shuo’s life.
After reopening his eyes and putting on his glasses, complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, then he took out his cell phone, dialing a number.
The phone was quickly picked up, Tang Shuo’s confused voice came from the other side of the phone.
“Hello? Brother, why are you calling so late?”
“I have to ask you something, did you fight with Gu Yansheng?”
“You… how did you know, brother? Did Gu Yansheng go to find you?”
“Tang Shuo, why are you so reckless.”
“I was only angry at the way Gu Yansheng and Shen Luoan were bullying Niannan, I also got hurt, also Gu Yansheng got out of there injured.” Tang Shuo said with some grievance.

“Are you injured? Is it serious?”
“I’m all right, to prevent Niannan from getting a few punches, I also punched Gu Yansheng, it was nothing.”
Listening to his brother’s indifferent tone, Tang Lanxuan sighed lightly: “Tang Shuo, let’s go home tomorrow, father and mother have been thinking about you every day and want you to stay at home for a few days.”
“Good, I will go back tomorrow morning and give them a surprise.”
Gu Yansheng stood in front of the mirror, fixing his tie, pausing for a moment, he glanced at the blue pajamas in the closet, walking down the stairs with his file bag in his hand, he paused and frowned as he saw a person drinking soup on the table.
Wen Niannan looked up at Gu Yansheng who was at the top of the stairs, then he looked away from him, the anger in Gu Yansheng’s eyes couldn’t help but grow, he recovered his pace, walking to the door.
“Huh? Why did Master leave? Why didn’t he eat breakfast?” Aunt Lan walked out from the kitchen carrying the porridge.
Wen Niannan didn’t speak, listening to the sound of the car leaving, his eyes flashed slightly, then he raised his eyes to look upstairs.
“Aunt Lan, I’m full, I’ll go upstairs first.”
Instead of returning to the room, Wen Niannan went to the piano room, he opened the door, entering.
There was no piano in the room, he walked to the bookshelf, seeing the blue box, Wen Niannan took it down with a trembling hand, he stared at the box for a long time, raising his hand, he opened it gently.
Looking at the mother’s pendant hanging from the necklace, his eyes gradually moistened, he gently took out the necklace, placing it in the palm of his hand.
Wen Niannan slid down against the wall, sitting down, he stroked the necklace, sobbing, he said: “Mom…I miss you…I really miss you…”

“I’m so tired…I don’t know how to go on, I hate myself like being like this, I don’t know if I still love Gu Yansheng, I’m afraid every time he’s near, I thought I didn’t love him anymore, but I couldn’t control it when I saw him with Shen Luoan.”
Wen Niannan held the necklace in his hand, placing it on his chest: “Certainly, the relationship wasn’t so hard before, he would still laugh with me at banquets, why did it become like this after getting married…I made a mess of everything…”
Suddenly the insults made by those children pressed while he was on the ground flooded his mind.
“Wen Niannan is a waste, a waste, a wild child that no one cares about that no one loves.”
“Your father and mother don’t love you. You killed your mother, That’s why your dad ignored you.”
“Wen Niannan is a wild child that no one loves no one!”
Wen Niannan covered his ears to make the voices stop, and curled up on the ground with his head in his arms. After a long time, the voice gradually disappeared before calming down.
The hand holding the necklace was shivering, Wen Niannan looked at the pendant in his hand.
“I…I can’t even play my mother’s favorite piano now.”
Then suddenly the sun outside the window shone in, the warm light on his body seemed to disperse all the darkness and coldness, Wen Niannan raised his head, looking at the sunlight, a little lost, he stretched out his hand, reaching the warm sunshine.
Feeling the warm temperature, Wen Niannan curled up slightly in the corners of his mouth: “Mom, is that you?”
The ring on his hand flickered slightly, blinding Wen Niannan’s eyes, Wen Niannan, a little surprised, looked at the ring, stroking it tenderly.
What is a wedding ring that promises love worn by people who don’t love each other…
1
There was always a doubt in his mind as to why he was so disgusted with him but he always wore that ring, it seemed to him that he was foolish enough to think that he still had his own on his heart, now it seems that it was just because Gu Yansheng was too lazy to pick it up.
It is always impossible for him and Gu Yansheng to be like real husbands.
As long as Gu Yansheng went to the company every day and came back late as before, they will just ignore each other as before, just as before…
It’s better to have a married life behaving as strangers like before…
Wen Niannan put the necklace back into the box, he placed it back in its place, then he got up, leaving the piano room, then he turned, looking deeply at the necklace, he closed the door after that.
“What…what are you talking about? Brother, what are you talking about?”
As soon as Tang Shuo returned, he was called into the study by his brother, Tang Lunxuan’s serious face frightened him, just about to ask what happened, he was shocked by Tang Lunxuan’s words.
“From today on, you aren’t allowed to see Wen Niannan again, you will never be allowed to see him in the future.”
“Brother, what’s wrong with you, why do you… suddenly say such a thing?”
Tang Lunxuan’s eyes flickered slightly, he clenched his hands behind his back, he sternly said: “Mr. Wen is married, what you’re doing isn’t right, you shouldn’t disturb his life, you’re a third wheel that destroys other people’s feelings, he has a relationship with Shen Luoan, so what’s the difference?”
“No difference from Shen Luoan? You know how much I like him, why say such cruel things…”
“Tang Shuo, you’re all grown up now, you shouldn’t be as reckless as before, have you thought of the consequences? What if Gu Yansheng hates you?”
1
Tang Shuo, in a moment of impatience, went up and shouted: “At the end of the day, you’re just afraid of the Gu family! You’re afraid of Gu Yansheng’s power, afraid that he will harm your interests!”
Slap…

Tang Shuo turned his face in disbelief to look at Tang Lunxuan who had hitten him, he stayed there for a long time without reacting.
“Do you really have a brain? Who am I for? You will only harm him by doing this, don’t you understand? You don’t have the power to protect him, but you blindly approach him, saying that you love him, that you’ll protect him, then do you even know how much he suffered because of you?”
1
“Have you forgotten how his head was injured? It was because of you! Tang Shuo, you don’t love him, you make him suffer!”
Tang Shuo froze in place, staring at Tang Lunxuan with a trembling voice: “Because of me? Is it my fault?”
Tang Lunxuan saw Tang Shuo’s disillusioned expression, under the glasses a touch of unbearable pain flashed in his eyes, his lips tightened.
“By the time you have the power to protect him, then you’ll be his knight in shining armor, instead of making it harder and harder like now!”
“I…I understand, I will make myself able to resist damage for him, I’m not going to bother him anymore…”
Seeing Tang Shuo finally listened, Tang Lunxuan sighed in relief: “It’s fine if you can understand. Father wants you back to help the company, would you like to…”
“Brother, I want to see him for the last time, can I? One last time? I’ll be careful.”
Tang Shuo’s eyes were red, Tang Lunxuan knew that he was trying to keep himself from crying, his heart softened for a moment, he knew he shouldn’t agree but he still couldn’t bear to refuse.
“If you want to go, go to say goodbye, but be careful.”
“Thank you, brother.”
One last time… I won’t bother you again…before going back to you, I will assure to have the power to protect you…

Uncle Xu bought a lot of sunflower seeds, wanting to plant them in the flower bed, when he saw Wen Niannan reading in the living room, he approached.
“Sir, I bought some sunflower seeds, how about we plant them together?”
“Sunflower? Great,” surprised, Wen Niannan nodded lightly, he put down the book in his hand, walking outside the door.
Wen Niannan dug up the soil using a shovel, carefully he took out the seeds, putting them in, and buried them gently, taking the watering can from the side, he watered them.
He proficiently planted the seeds one by one, watering them carefully, he did the steps with a serious expression, he stood up after the seeds in his hand were planted.
Thinking that the flowerbed would be full of sunflowers in the future, Wen Niannan seemed to have more life in his heart, there was a little smile plastered on the corners of his mouth.
Seeing that Wen Niannan finally in a better mood, smiling, Xu Shu got closer, handing him the watering can in his hand.
“Today, the old lady and Young Master Yuan Feng went abroad, they will return the day after tomorrow, sir, what would you like to eat, I will tell Aunt Lan to do it.”
“Yuanfeng also left?”
“Well, the old lady said that Master Yuanfeng will be with her husband in another country from now on, there were still some matters in that country that were not properly handed over, so Master Yuanfeng was asked to go back to deal with them.”
Wen Niannan sat on the stairs, wiping his hands, he replied with a whisper: “Tell Aunt Lan to make some squirrelfish, I haven’t eaten it for a long time.”

“Sir still loves the squirrelfish that Aunt Lan prepares, great, if Sir wants to eat it, I will tell Aunt Lan to do it.”
Smiling, Uncle Xu got up, entering the house, after a while, he took the car key to go out.
“There’s no fish in the house, I’ll buy some, sir, can you plant the remaining seeds alone?”
“Of course, Uncle Xu drove carefully.”
“Good.”
Wen Niannan turned around, walking to the flower bed, he continued planting the sunflower seeds in his hands.
Ding…the phone rang…
Wen Niannan took out the phone, when he looked at it, his body froze instantly.
