Chapter 434: So It’s True That You Got Married

The principal went on with an invigorating speech that was befitting of his post and education.

“And now, let’s us put our hands together for the Chief Inspector of Sea City, Mr. Lu Yi,” he said as he started the ball rolling. The students quickly followed suit. To these students, Lu Yi was a role model, a goal they hoped to reach. It wasn’t easy to get to where he was—there was only one Lu Yi after all.

Lu Yi stood up. He hasn’t prepared for the speech—Yan Huan knew. He didn’t have any time to, with all the work at the Procuratorate and overtime at home. He had to work through some nights when she was sleeping, not done with his work even by the time she wakes up. Therefore, he didn’t have any time to prepare. Plus, he came to Sea City University on short notice too.

Even so, Prosecutor Lu’s eloquence managed to impress. He spoke of facts, cases he handled throughout the years, whether minor or major. Some of the takeaways from those cases also served as cautionary advice to the university students, informing them of what they can and cannot do. Without them realizing, he had planted seeds of morality into their hearts, seeds that will eventually sprout and thrive and become their life mottos, guiding them to not be on the wrong side of the law. If they took away something from it, it could benefit them for the rest of their lives.

His voice was low and mellifluous like the steady melody of a cello, but also heavy enough to unnerve the naive students with the weight of his words.

Giving them the harsh reality now is better than having them venture on the wrong path.

This world is harsh in the first place. You have to learn how to be cruel, and how to endure.

Lu Yi’s lesson was special. He wasn’t a teacher and didn’t request for order, giving the students a choice on whether they wanted to listen, but somehow they all did, and some even began to contemplate as they listened.

The principal can’t help but shake his head.

With such eloquence, why not be a teacher?

Fang Zhu who sat at one side was still gritting her teeth so hard that her gums hurt.

Everyone was admiring Lu Yi, and at the same time mocking her for giving up such a good man.

This man had once been hers. He once belonged to her.

She didn’t know why the thought plagued her, sometimes even in her dreams, where she got married to Lu Yi and spent the rest of their lives together. Even though they weren’t in love, they got along admirably in those dreams. Now, it felt like something had been taken away from her, leaving behind only an empty hollow.

The students at the audience’s seats were still mesmerized by Lu Yi’s speech, nearly a thousand of them making not a noise. They were listening, remembering, and thinking.

His graceful demeanor had no doubt made many young girls fall in love, only to be ruefully reminded that he was a married man. Not only that, he was married to a famous beauty idolized by the entire nation, Yan Huan. Her nickname of “Box Office Elixir” was enough to skyrocket her net worth.

Plus, she was very rich too. How can an actress of her caliber be poor? Just one advertisement or endorsement was enough to make a pretty sum, not to mention a movie or TV drama offer. Yan Huan’s pay was among one of the highest in the acting industry. She hasn’t been taking any offers lately, but no doubt many will seek after her if she changed her mind.

Why? Box Office Elixir, that’s why.

A huge round of applause, long-lasting and uninterrupted, followed at the end of Lu Yi’s speech.

Lu Yi nodded at the students. Somehow, it felt as if there was a familiar gaze among the students staring at him.

The principal stood up, prompted the students to digest Lu Yi’s words carefully, and ended it off by assigning a reflection that would count into the students’ grades.

Lu Yi walked out of the washroom and checked his wristwatch.

She should be asleep at this hour. That’s good. He was helpless when it came to his little anemic woman.

He wanted to make a call, but decided against it when he considered the possibility that she was already asleep. He wouldn’t want to wake her up.

Forget it then. He’ll be home soon anyway.

He slid his phone back into his pocket. Right as he was about to leave, a woman walked to him from afar.

A familiar face, but he hardly recognized it.

He didn’t know many people around here, and out of them, just one woman.

“Can we talk?” asked Fang Zhu from a distance away. The notion that this man should belong to her grew stronger, and she even got the strange feeling he had been hers in their previous life.

Lu Yi said nothing. He didn’t think there was anything talk-worthy between them, but Fang Zhu rattled on anyway.

“Are you married?” asked Fang Zhu, her tone interrogative like a woman who caught her husband cheating. She couldn’t accept the role yet. The role of an ex-girlfriend having to watch the one she loved marrying someone else.

She knew the reality, and saw the Weibo post of that woman. To be frank, she didn’t believe it the first time, and neither did she believe it now. Lu Yi was married, and the bride wasn’t her but someone else. How could that be?

“Yes,” said Lu Yi, leaning against the wall behind him. “Anything else, Miss Fang? I don’t have much time.”

The words “Miss Fang” stabbed hard at Fang Zhu’s heart, right where it hurt the most.

“We were a match made in heaven,” said Fang Zhu. The feeling had always been within her, so intense that it made her believe he would surely marry her if they were both single at 30 plus.

However, Lu Yi was a married man now, and her, single and unsought for.

How ironic.
