Chapter 592 - 588: An Dongyang Gets His Wish
Xu Wenwan’s heart dropped. She hadn’t meant for An Dongyang to find out so quickly. Her original plan was to wait until he had feelings for her before telling him, but she had just blurted it out on impulse.
Seeing An Dongyang’s attitude suddenly turn cold, she regretted her impulsive words.
Fortunately, she was composed enough to handle it.
Xu Wenwan pretended not to notice An Dongyang’s indifference and gave a wry smile.
"I’m sorry. We’ve only known each other for two days, and this is just our third time meeting. I shouldn’t have told you all that."
The girl’s attempt to appear strong only made the man’s heart ache for her.
An Dongyang came to his senses.
’He liked Xu Wenwan, but she had no idea about his feelings. To her, they had only known each other for two days.’
’Thinking about it that way, he decided Xu Wenwan really was a good girl.’
He also felt a pang of guilt. ’He was the one with feelings for her, yet he’d just been blaming her.’
An Dongyang composed himself and looked at the red, swollen mark on her face. "Why did he hit you?"
’That was the question she had been waiting for.’ Even if An Dongyang hadn’t asked, she would have found a way to bring it up subtly.
So, she told him everything—how she was switched with another baby at birth and how her parents were now trying to force her into a marriage.
It all clicked for An Dongyang.
’No wonder Xu Wenwan’s clothes and accessories were so refined. She didn’t seem like a village girl at all. It was because she was switched at birth.’
Then, when he heard she was being forced into a marriage, he was filled with rage.
"How could your parents do that? We’re in a new era now, people should be free to love who they want. How could they force you into a marriage?"
Things like this were common in the countryside, but this was happening to Xu Wenwan. Since An Dongyang had feelings for her, he was naturally incensed on her behalf.
Xu Wenwan shook her head, looking dejected. "It’s fine. They’re my parents, after all. I’m not angry anymore."
After hearing her story, An Dongyang’s heart ached for Xu Wenwan even more.
The two went shopping. As they had agreed, An Dongyang bought her an outfit to make up for the one that was ruined. But after that, he started buying her anything she gave more than a passing glance.
His excuse was always, "If you don’t accept it, it means you don’t see me as a friend."
Only then would Xu Wenwan accept.
After they finished shopping that morning, Xu Wenwan excused herself for a moment. She requested a special perfume from her system, intending to use it on An Dongyang.
When Xu Wenwan returned, An Dongyang couldn’t keep his eyes off her. As they passed through a deserted alley, he grew bold, pulling her into his arms and kissing her.
When the kiss ended, An Dongyang came to his senses, feeling a bit of remorse. But one look at Xu Wenwan’s sultry, alluring eyes was enough to make his heart pound with excitement again.
Later, An Dongyang took Xu Wenwan to a small courtyard that a friend had asked him to look after. Everything inside was neat and tidy.
As their passion deepened and one thing led to another, An Dongyang’s face filled with astonishment.
"This is your first time?"
Tears welled in Xu Wenwan’s eyes. She had been resisting just moments before, while the man murmured an endless stream of sweet nothings. In both of their minds, there was a sense that she had been somewhat coerced.
But An Dongyang had seemed to lose his head, completely out of control.
Now, discovering the woman beneath him was a virgin, his astonishment gave way to sheer ecstasy.
He held her in his arms, his movements softening.
An unknown amount of time passed. The sky outside had already grown dark by the time Xu Wenwan awoke from a deep slumber.
She glanced at the satiated man beside her, and tears suddenly began to fall.
An Dongyang instantly panicked.
"Sweetheart, what’s wrong?"
Now that Xu Wenwan was his woman, such intimate terms of endearment came naturally to An Dongyang.
