Zhen Xiu's past

"What are you waiting for?" Lu Jian raised his eyes at her silent form.

He didn't want to play with her and risk his wife's life because of some unknown danger coming from her past. He needs to protect her from everything. This was his way to redeem himself after treating her so harshly before at the beginning of their marriage.

This was something that he needs to understand and take responsibility for; his past behavior was unwanted and even childish.

"Listen, I know you care about her but she is my wife. I have the right to know about her past." Lu Jian softly asked her, leaving his haughty attitude and bad behavior aside.

Jiang Wui was also surprised at his brother's change in tone. He was really willing to change himself for her sake.

"You should have asked her instead. Why should I tell you anything?" Shen Ya asked him angrily.

This man was really something. When she was healthy and kicking, he decided to throw her away but now that she is not here to speak for herself. This man wants to be her husband and is being protective of her.

She found this strange and absurd.

"If you care about her then tell me otherwise I have my own means to find out about her." Lu Jian threatened.

He has enough of Shen Ya's tantrum and judging attitude. She was risking Zhen Xiu's life because of her bias attitude for him. He could not let this happen to her.

Shen Ya was speechless at his threat and knew if he tried to dig around things her friend will be in danger. This was a risky situation. She could not decide whether to tell him everything or maintain her silence about this.

She was biased in her attitude for Lu Jian but she can never harm her Xiu for this little thing as biasing.

"He is not our enemy. You should tell him." Jiang Wui knew this was a serious situation. He tried breaking the ice in between them. He might be silly while dealing with real life problem but his heart was as pure as a child that can't stop himself from caring about his loved ones.

Shen Ya sighed. "Fine, I will tell you."

She turned around to look at Zhen Xiu who was sleeping on the hospital bed, unaware of her surrounding, just like a sleeping beauty.

"I knew her from before. She was ten years old when she came to attend the same boarding school as mine." Shen Ya remembered those days.

Those were some of the best days in their life where they were happy and can enjoy the true meaning of life moreover they were safe in Royal Knight School.

It was a hidden paradise for everyone that studied there.

A world away from the world!

"Wait! Zhen Xiu was your classmate. She attended the Royal Knight School." Jiang Wui's eyes came out of the socket after the word Royal Knight.

It was the top school in this world where geniuses all around the world were dying to enter. This was a school that gives you complete education until the student graduate from their specialized field. This was a mix of school, university, research, employment, everything.

It was a separate world for all those aspiring geniuses.

Lu Jian was not that shocked, he had inkling that it was something similar to this. After getting that brief information about Zhen Xiu from Russell he knew she was not that simple as she looked like.

Shen Ya nodded. "Yes, we were classmates. She was an innocent but mischievous girl who liked troubling me and that's how we became friends."

Shen Ya told them everything about her first meeting, their friendship and their last days in school.

"She left school two months before the graduation ceremony. It was not just a simple graduation ceremony but a party to celebrate the end of student life. I didn't want to come back here so I wanted to wait till the end of graduation ceremony but Zhen Xiu was way too excited to enjoy her mini vacation."

Shen Ya smiled as she described her energetic friend.

Jiang Wui was surprised to see a big smile on her face. He has never seen her smile like this in her life.

On the other hand, Lu Jian was patiently listening and connected the dots silently.

"This was the time when she arrived in First City alone without informing you and met grandpa." Lu Jian pointed out.

Shen Ya nodded. "Yes, this is true but she was not there because of site seeing First City. She was there because of you."

Lu Jian was stunned. She was there because of him but he didn't remember knowing her from before.

"Why?" Jiang Wui asked the question swirling in Lu Jian's mind.

"She wanted to impress your grandfather so that she can marry you." Shen Ya bitterly chuckled at this memory.

She knew all these things because when she came back from R country and saw Zhen Xiu married to

Lu Jian, she was very angry at Zhen Xiu and has even kidnapped her to stop living with Lu Jian.

"I don't remember meeting her before our wedding day." Lu Jian was bewildered.

She wanted to marry him but why?

Shen Ya knew that he was telling her the truth. He was not aware of her feelings and has never met her prior to their wedding.

It was normal for him to be confused. "It was love at first sight for her. You were her prince charming. She has been charmed by you just like every other girl out there."

Jiang Wui was awestruck at Zhen Xiu's daring approach. She directly went to impress Grandpa Lu for her marriage and even succeeded in her first try.

They were married suddenly. He remembered when Grandpa came back from The First City and immediately ordered Lu Jian to marry a girl of his liking. They were stunned and thought various things about Zhen Xiu, in their mind, everything that they convicted was only bad and malicious things about her character.
