ABLO Chapter 75

In the days before the wedding, Ruan Mian lived peacefully. The Ruan family didn’t cause him any trouble, and Lu Yang never mentioned Ruan Heng calling him. Everything was calm and tranquil, with no anticipated problems, only the wedding date approaching closer and closer.

That day, Ruan Mian happened to be on leave, and Lu Yang said he would take him out to play. After getting up in the morning, the two simply packed up, and Lu Yang drove Ruan Mian all the way to the door of the Ruan family villa.

Ruan Mian was stunned when he saw the familiar house in front of him. This house was bought by his father with hard work, so he always wanted to come back to see it, but the days he spent here were not happy. As long as he thought about coming here to see the Ruan family, he hesitated and did not come.

Now Lu Yang suddenly brought him here. When he saw this house, he couldn’t help but feel a little complicated. He missed his father and remembered the unhappy days when he lived here.

Lu Yang took his hand and walked inside, smiling: “Let’s go in and take a look.”

Ruan Mian shrank his hand back slightly, a little hesitant; he was not mentally prepared to face Ruan Donglin; after all, Ruan Donglin was his second uncle, his closest relative in the world; he was worried that he would be soft-hearted when he saw Ruan Donglin’s poverty.

Lu Yang smiled, patted him on the back of his head, and said in a relaxed tone: “Don’t worry; they have moved away.”

Ruan Mian blinked in surprise; Lu Yang didn’t say anything more and continued to walk inside holding his hand.

Ruan Mian followed Lu Yang into the house. The house looked empty and quiet; the people living in it had indeed moved away.

Ruan Mian’s eyes swept through the house; the familiar furniture was a little worn out, the room he used to live in had long been used as a utility room, and the whole house had been cleaned, so it didn’t look so messy.

Ruan Mian looked up at Lu Yang in surprise and asked in confusion: “What’s going on?”

Lu Yang lowered his eyes and said lightly: “I bought this place.”

He took Ruan Mian by the hand and walked into the house where Ruan Mian used to live. His fingers gently ran across a part of the wall. There were several scratches on the wall. They were drawn by Ruan Mian when he was a child to record his height.

He imagined that little Ruan Mian was holding a pen in his hand, raised above his head, and tried to draw marks to record his growth. He couldn’t help but smile gently, and his heart was soft.

This is the house bought by Ruan Mian’s father. It is also the place where Ruan Mian grew up. There are many traces of Ruan Mian’s growth. Ruan Donglin’s family has occupied this place for so many years, and now it’s time to return it.

Ruan Mian looked up in surprise when he heard his words, “You bought this place? What’s going on?”

Lu Yang explained: “The Ruan family is short of money now, and they have no choice but to sell the house. I am willing to buy the house, on the condition that they leave the Capital, and they can’t set foot in the Capital in the future. They agreed, and now they have taken the money and moved out of the Capital.”

Lu Yang smiled lightly. With the Ruan family’s lavish spending habits, they probably spent all the money from the house in a few days, and their family members now probably have different thoughts. After getting the money, it is unknown what they will do to divide the money.

Instead of letting them appear in front of Ruan Mian from time to time and making Ruan Mian feel bad, it is better to turn a blind eye and completely cut off contact.

Lu Yang is not afraid that they will break the contract after getting the money. As long as he is in the Capital, the Ruan family will not dare to break their promise; otherwise, he has many ways to make them regret it.

Ruan Mian frowned slightly. This was his father’s house. Later, as a condition for raising him, it was occupied by the Ruan family. He didn’t expect that Lu Yang would now send the house back to him in this way.

He knew that this was Lu Yang’s intention and couldn’t help but smile, “Thank you, Baby Lu.”

Lu Yang hugged him from behind and whispered, “Tutu, are you happy?”

Ruan Mian nodded, looked at everything in the house with nostalgia, and said in a low voice, “Happy.”

He still remembers how happy his father was when he bought this house, and his mother’s excited expression seemed to be vaguely in front of him, as if it was yesterday.

Although he was not happy during the years he lived here, he would get some comfort as long as he thought that this house was bought by his father with hard work.

What he didn’t like was never this house, but the people living in this house.

Ruan Mian’s fingers gently stroked the window frame, and he asked in a low voice: “Baby Lu, did you give your business card to Ruan Heng that day just to wait for him to contact you so that you can talk to him about buying a house?”

“Yes.” Lu Yang nodded and pushed the window open.

Amidst the season of blossoming spring, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, clean, and clear. The view outside the window remains beautiful, with green trees and red flowers complementing each other. A gentle breeze brings the fragrance of flowers, and the sight makes one’s mood instantly uplifted.

That day, he heard Ruan Heng say that his family had the intention to sell the house, so he wanted to buy the house, so he deliberately gave the business card to Ruan Heng and waited for Ruan Heng to come to him.

With the greedy character of Ruan Heng’s family, he didn’t worry that they would not take the bait.

In fact, Ruan Mian didn’t know that since that day, Ruan Heng had told his parents about Ruan Mian’s return. They wanted to go to the hospital to find Ruan Mian several times, but they were stopped by people sent by Lu Yang, and they didn’t have the opportunity to approach Ruan Mian.

“They didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?” Ruan Mian always felt that the Ruan family would not give up the house easily.

Lu Yang curled his lips and smiled meaningfully, “They did want to make things difficult, but I used some tricks, and they sold the house to me.”

Over the years, Ruan Heng had been living recklessly, and many photos of him had been taken. Ruan Donglin not only drank excessively but also gradually became addicted to gambling, accumulating a lot of debt. Wu Yongjuan was the most promiscuous. After Ruan Donglin went bankrupt, she couldn’t bear to stay with a man who drank heavily and had already started an affair with a married man behind Ruan Donglin’s back.

Lu Yang knew all these things after a little investigation, so he easily bought the house.

The Ruan family had different thoughts, and they didn’t dare to let each other know about their own affairs, so they didn’t dare to ask for a high price but instead lowered the market value by a few points.

However, Lu Yang would not tell Ruan Mian about these things to dirty his ears. His rabbit just needs to live a carefree life. As the Alpha of Tutu, he must protect him and prevent him from getting hurt again.

The three people in the Ruan family are getting out of hand. All he can do is keep Ruan Mian away from them; otherwise, he will only be implicated by them and add to his troubles.

Ruan Mian pursed his lips and did not ask more. Since Lu Yang said so, he had solved all his problems. As for the process, he was not curious.

He looked at the scenery outside the window in a good mood and asked happily: “Baby Lu, what do you think we should do with this house?”

Ruan Mian looked around. Although the villa was a little shabby due to the Ruan family, it should still be good if it was renovated well.

The location and environment here are very good, and the villa is very large, and the area in the yard is also very wide.

However, he and Lu Yang couldn’t move over to live here. Ning Mixiang had already arranged a new house for them, and they couldn’t waste her heartfelt efforts. Besides, Lu Yang’s grandfather was getting older, and Lu Zhengwei’s health wasn’t good either. Living closer to them allowed him and Lu Yang to take better care of them. Seeing them every day would also make the elders happier.

Although this place was not far from the Lu residence, it was not as convenient as living opposite to them.

A gust of wind blew, causing petals from the tree outside to float in and land playfully on Ruan Mian’s head. Oblivious to this, Ruan Mian blinked his sparkling eyes at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang deliberately didn’t tell Ruan Mian and looked at the pink petals on his head with gentle eyes, smiling, “I’ll listen to you.”

Although they were not married yet, Lu Yang had already turned into a wife slave in advance. He listened to his rabbit in everything. What his rabbit said was his imperial decree.

Ruan Mian lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, “Why don’t we provide this house for Omegas in need to live in?”

“In fact, there are many Omegas like me who were forced by their original families to marry early before they reached adulthood. I had you to help me back then, but they have no one to help them. If we can provide them with a place to live, at least they can temporarily escape the threat of their original families, and we can also find ways to help them.”

He had suffered such hardships, so he wanted to help other Omegas out of the sea of suffering. This house was idle anyway, so it would be better to use it to help people in need so that the existence of this house would be more meaningful.

“Okay.” Lu Yang naturally had no objection and listened to Ruan Mian.

Ruan Mian couldn’t help but smile. If his father knew that he used this villa to help people in need, he would definitely be very happy.

The two smiled and quietly admired the scenery outside the window. Lu Yang hugged Ruan Mian from behind, looking at the petals in his hair. He gently blew on it, causing the petals to float up and lightly fall from Ruan Mian’s head.

Ruan Mian watched the petals suddenly drop, blinked innocently, and reached out to catch it. The petals fell right into his palm.

He looked down at the pink petals lying in his palm, and suddenly looked up and said, “Baby Lu, I want to move here for a few days.”

Lu Yang thought that Ruan Mian wanted to reminisce about the days he used to live there, so he nodded nonchalantly and said, “Alright, I’ll come over with you. I’ll have new furniture sent over these next couple of days, and we’ll move in together.”

Ruan Mian shook his head and softly said, “Auntie mentioned that we shouldn’t see each other before the wedding, or it would be considered unlucky. So, I’ll move in by myself. You don’t need to come with me.”

Lu Yang froze for a moment, as if struck by lightning, and asked in shock, “Not see each other?”

“Mn.” Ruan Mian nodded, his expression serious, “Baby Lu, since Auntie has already said it, let’s just believe it might be true rather than ignoring it. We’ll do this to make Auntie happy. So, don’t pick me up from work or meet me for now. Let’s see each other again on our wedding day.”

Lu Yang’s mouth turned downward, his face scrunched in distress, and he couldn’t speak for a long time.

He suddenly regretted buying this house.

Superstitions should not be believed!
