Seeing Feng Yan crumble in front of her, Lu AnLing found no satisfaction. It was hard finding out the man of your dreams wasn't 'the one' mostly when you'd been crushing on him for as long as Feng Yan had been crushing on Kang Jun, but Lu AnLing did not pity the girl either.
All of what Lu AnLing had said to her was the truth. It was her own fault that she ended up in this situation and Lu AnLing was not going to apologize for causing pain to someone indirectly.
"Is that a yes now, or no?" Lu AnLing said impatiently.
She had already given Feng Yan ample time to consider the circumstances of her fate. No matter which way she chose, she would not get Kang Jun but at least in one choice, she would not lose her reputation.
The room was quiet for a little while longer, but then Feng Yan, stood up with the help of her sister and said, "I understand. What do I say or do?"
"Simple. You and Kang Jun will go up on stage and you will say that you both planned this whole 'fake engagement' because Kang Jun and I wanted to keep our marriage a secret for a little while longer. Say that you wanted to help a friend out."
"I have to be your friend now?" Feng Yan scoffed.
"We'll never be friends. But it's only pretending." Lu AnLing said with her hands on her hips.
After she said this, Feng Yan looked at Kang Jun and Lu AnLing who stood side by side. Looking closely, Feng Yan noticed that Lu AnLing's plain white dress matched perfectly with Kang Jun's navy blue suit. If she wasn't mistaken, it was a couples outfit, made by one of her favorite designers.
Seeing this, Feng Yan's heart had completed broken in two.
Feng Yue saw this but she had no words of comfort to say to her sister.
Feng Yue knew that neither Lu AnLing nor Kang Jun was to blame for this situation. They had been married long before Feng Yan and Lu AnLing had even met, but neither was this Feng Yan's fault. To her, At that moment, Kang Jun was a free man...
Though, looking at the couple who stood in front of her, Feng Yue felt a bit glad. Feng Yan would have never been able to get Kang Jun to love her. Feng Yue had always doubted that Kang Jun could even love... This would have just made both her sister and Kang Jun unhappy in the long run.
At least with how it was turning out right now, Feng Yue could see that Kang Jun was happy and Feng Yan, could restart at zero and find a man who would truly think the world of her.
She prayed for her sister to get over Kang Jun quickly and finally find peace...

Moments later, after the Feng sisters had been completely briefed about what to do, they left the washroom.
As soon as they left, Lu AnLing ran to the door and locked it. Once she was done doing this, the girl ran into Kang Jun's arms.
Surrounded by his warmth and smelling his fruity scent, Lu AnLing breathed a sigh of relief. Talking to Feng Yan, Lu AnLing was a bit scared. Deep inside, she knew that she would get what she wanted, but facing someone head on was always a scary thing.
For a long while, Kang Jun and Lu AnLing did not speak, they just held each other tightly. Until Lu AnLing suddenly felt something poking at her belly.
Looking down to Kang Jun's crotch, Lu AnLing's brow knitted.
"Really?" Lu AnLing said with a smirk.
Kang Jun shrugged and then he smirked back at her. "What can I say"
As soon as he said that, Lu AnLing closed the gap between them and began to kiss Kang Jun roughly. She rubbed her body against him, teasing his every sense and then she suddenly stopped.
"Say nothing." Lu AnLing purred as she tightened her grip on Kang Jun's neck and pulled him into her. Closer and closer.
After a small while of passionate kissing, the two, out of breath, finally separated.
"Once we get Mei Xue back, do you think you'd want to have another..." Kang Jun hesitated as he laid his forehead on hers.
"Another baby?" Lu AnLing completed his sentence.
Kang Jun: "Mmm..."
"I hadn't thought much about it... I was so busy looking for my missing child that nothing else seemed to matter... but," Lu AnLing touched Kang Jun's cheek and then she kissed him gently on the lips. Allowing herself time to calm down, "I think I would love to have another child with you."
Hearing this, Kang Jun wanted to cry tears of joy. He had been afraid to ask her about this subject for a while now but here and there, they would forget to put on a condom and this made him fear what would happen if she had suddenly fallen pregnant.
Would she want to abort it?
Kang Jun didn't know, but the thought brought chills through his entire body. He didn't want that! However, because of her past pains, and because of how he wasn't there for her, he felt like he would not be able to have a say.
Seeing a weird darkness pass over the man's eyes, Lu AnLing held him tightly.
"I want to have your baby... but let's save the baby making for after this day is over."
Hearing this, Kang Jun swept Lu AnLing off the floor and laid her on the counter before he gave a devilish smile. "Are you sure?"
Before Lu AnLing could answer, they heard the door unlock.
Quickly, Lu AnLing jumped off the counter and dragged Kang Jun into one of the stalls.
The janitor had opened the door for a few girls who now flooded into the bathroom.
Looking down at Kang Jun, whom Lu AnLing had placed on the toilet seat, she sighed,
"I'm sure."

As this was happening, Tang Bingyi, who hadn't returned to the hall but had gone outside for some fresh air, suddenly got a phone call from her mother.
"Your cousin decided that she actually wants to come, could you pick her up?" Mother Tang asked.
Hearing this, Tang Bingyi frowned. "No. I can't leave grandfather alone here. You'll have to bring her."
Mother Tang sighed on the other end of the line. "If I drive her, I'll have to attend also..."
Mother Tang was quite unlike most mothers. She was mentally still a young adult herself. She had her likes and dislikes and she enjoyed spending her time avoiding whatever she disliked. She was a free spirit who cared a lot more about her sense of self than her roles as a mother or a daughter but this was fine because Mother Tang always did what was right, in the end.
Although this was true, this was annoying to Tang Bingyi, who seemed grown up passed her years.
Tang Bingyi: "Well if you feel that way, then why don't you learn how to scold her? She's already 27 years old and she doesn't have a drivers license... though you know that's impossible on such short notice, so get ready and come attend the festivities."
For most rich families, who had personal drivers at their beck and call, this wouldn't be a problem but the Tang's weren't that kind of family. The drivers worked only at a certain time frame but when it was passed the usual time, the Trang's would have to drive themselves because the drivers were humans too. They had their own families. This was something that both Elder Tang and his wife believed strongly so they taught it to their children and grandchildren.
Mother Tang laughed on the other end of the line. "You're quite cheeky aren't you? Did something good happen? It's been a while since I've seen my daughter be so cute."
Hearing this, Tang Bingyi frowned and said, "Whatever... shouldn't you be getting ready?"
But she knew that her mother wasn't wrong. Since making friends with Lu AnLing, Tang Bingyi had felt a little bit better. Due to her lack of true interpersonal connection, the girl had been feeling a little lonely and even a bit jealous of Tang Yiling who had a great many things...
As soon as she had felt this pang, Tang Bingyi had known that something was wrong.
Thinking about Tang Yiling for a second, Tang Bingyi furrowed her eyebrows and said, "Is it alright to leave uncle alone?"
Mother Tang: "Luoyi came back home tonight, so if anything happens, I'll tell him to call our personal physician."
Hearing this, Tang Bingyi nodded despite knowing her mother wouldn't see that.
After this, her mother said, "I'll see you soon then!"
Tang Bingyi: "Mmm..."
After hanging up, Tang Bingyi reentered the venue.
Once inside, Tang Bingyi accidentally bumped into a beautiful girl with a royal blue mermaid dress. Looking over the woman, whose ample bosom she had just crashed into, Tang Bingyi felt her face warm.
Gazing over the woman, Tang Bingyi's eyes widened and without thinking, she said, "Model?"
Hearing this, Lu Xia gave a girlish laugh, "Surgeon, actually. But thanks, anyway, sweetheart."
Never in a million years would Tang Bingyi have guessed the pretty woman to have that kind of profession but Tang Bingyi didn't say anything else.
Tang Bingyi was about to leave, but before she did, Lu Xia stopped her and smiled.
While Lu AnLing was bringing Feng Yan to her knees, Lu Xia was scoping the halls in the hope of finding Rong Yue Wan.
Right when Lu AnLing had left the hall with Feng Yan, Rong Yue Wan had managed to escape Lu Xia's gaze.
Lu Xia had been tasked by Lu AnLing to keep Rong Yue Wan busy for a while. And since this was one of the first times that her cousin had asked anything from her, she didn't want to mess anything up.
"Have you seen a skinny girl wearing this ugly silver sequin pantsuit?" Lu Xia said showing Tang Bingyi the picture.
Thinking about it, Tang Bingyi was about to shake her head no, but then the same woman who Lu Xia had shown her a picture of marched right towards the two.
Tang Bingyi gestured towards the woman and Lu Xia turned to look. By the time she did, Rong Yue Wan had stopped right in front of the two, looked straight at Tang Bingyi and said,
"What are you doing here?"
