World's Most Fascinating Villain

Lu Heng lived in Aneta's room as a matter of course, Maria said at the dining table that the guest room she stayed in last time was also cleaned up, Aneta frowned disapprovingly and said, "I'm at home, what guest room does she live in. "

Amidst Leon's booing that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Lu Heng slowly blushed.

"That's fine." Maria looked happy to see the result, and turned to talk about other topics, "Your Aunt Lisa will also come at Christmas, did you buy the things you asked you to bring for her last time?"

Lu Heng sensitively sensed some displeasure mixed with Aneta's emotions, but she didn't try to hide it, curled her lips and said, "I forgot."

"Okay." Maria gave her a warning look, "It's your aunt after all."

"Understood." Aneta said lazily, and then exchanged a knowing glance with Leon.

Lu Heng didn't know why, but he also knew that it was Sadel's family business, so he didn't intervene.

After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room for a while, and then Aneta took Lu Heng back to the room.

"I'm going to take a shower first." Aneta dug out a change of clothes from the unpacked suitcase, didn't hear Lu Heng's response, and went to her side and repeated, "I'm going to take a shower."

Lu Heng was flipping through the things on her desk with relish, raised his head and blinked his eyes after hearing this, and said, "I heard, you go."

Aneta leaned over and teased her with the distance where the eyelashes were tangled together: "Aren't we together?"

Lu Heng, who couldn't let go after seeing the Sadels and his wife, was frightened, and his eyes widened: "You, what are you kidding! Hurry up and take a shower!"

"Okay, okay." Aneta had no choice but to be satisfied, turned around, and walked away wagging her tail.

Lu Heng stayed where she was, the surging blood hadn't subsided yet, she felt thirsty for a while, but she searched around the room, but couldn't find the kettle, presumably because Aneta hasn't come back for a long time, so many things are missing Prepare.

She wanted to bear it at first, but the sticky feeling in her throat became stronger and stronger. After hesitating for a while, Lu Heng was still going to go downstairs to pour water to drink.

It was already dark in Helsinki, and it was time for the servants to rest, so when Lu Heng walked downstairs, the whole hall seemed too quiet.

The light in the kitchen was still on, she took a cup, and was about to pour some water before leaving, but found a figure with her back facing her standing in the kitchen.

"Maria?" Lu Heng looked at the familiar shawl and asked tentatively.

"Honey." The woman turned around, and it turned out to be Mrs. Sadel. She saw the cup in Lu Heng's hand and smiled kindly, "Are you thirsty?"

Lu Heng smiled a little embarrassedly: "A little bit."

"That's right, I'm warming up milk, drink some before you go to bed." Maria stepped forward to take the cup, and said with an irresistible kindness.

Lu Heng sensed a familiar tenderness from her that she often felt from Aneta, which made her not resist, and obediently handed over the things in her hand and said, "Thank you."

"you are welcome."

A small dim light was turned on in the kitchen, which softened some of the too-technical cold and hard arcs, and the sweet fragrance of milk diffused, which made Lu Heng's head a little dizzy, as if he had been soaked in a bath. In the clouds.

"I'm not at home often." In such an atmosphere, Maria suddenly said, "Ann may have told you about this too."

Lu Heng nodded: "She said you are a great biologist."

"It's just that she's not a qualified mother." Maria didn't look at Lu Heng. When she said this, she didn't feel any remorse, it was more like a simple explanation.

Lu Heng was silent, this was something she couldn't judge, but it sounded like Maria didn't need her to judge anything.

"I spend very little time with Leon and Ann. I have been traveling around the world with Robert. The longest time..." She thought for a while, and then said, "I haven't seen each other for about half a year. At that time, Ann Only eight years old."

"If Ann is the kind of character who strongly needs love and companionship, I may inevitably feel guilty, but I will confess to you now, because Ann is not clingy, I am very humble and grateful."

Lu Heng muttered, should she complain about Aneta?What she understands is that the current Ann doesn't seem to have any emotional flaws, and she has performed perfectly in every relationship. Lu Heng can't know how she grew up since she was a child, whether she has to reconcile with loneliness, or has always been in love with her. Can enjoy solitude.

So she can't accuse Maria, is it for a harm that she doesn't even know if it really exists?

Maria glanced at her, satisfied with Lu Heng's quietness in the depths of her eyes, and she continued: "But even that bit of guilt, I don't think it's enough to make me change my way of life, it sounds like Isn't that a little selfish?"

Lu Heng was noncommittal, but said: "Fortunately, I think it is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. The West always emphasizes individualism, so it is difficult to say who is right."

"You didn't criticize me from your point of view, which makes me very happy." Maria said sincerely, "Even if I become a mother, I don't feel that the existence of children requires me to sacrifice anything, running around the world It's not because I want to be with Robert, it's all because of my own pursuit, of course I love them, but if I give up myself for this kind of love, it will make me feel painful."

Lu Heng was silent, and the atmosphere became a little dignified.

But soon, Maria came back to her senses, and said with effort and ease: "I don't know if Ann has told you about her grandpa, who was in power in the last generation of the Sadel family."

"No." Lu Heng shook his head honestly. Aneta didn't often tell her these things, and she herself was not interested in asking.

"He didn't like me very much at first glance." Maria said with a smile, "because he knew that I would 'lead' his son, you see, as expected, but fortunately, this time you will not see that Stubborn old man."

Lu Heng followed her and twitched the corner of his mouth, looking for nothing to say: "Mr. Sadel loves you very much."

Maria waved her hand and said in a natural tone, "Of course, I love him too."

The small milk pot boiling on the stove made the sound of boiling, Maria gathered the shawl, lifted the lid to have a look, and then turned off the stove.

"Would you like sugar?" She asked while pouring the milk from the pot into the cup unhurriedly.

Lu Heng shook his head and asked again: "Does Ann like sweet milk?"

"Her? She doesn't drink before going to bed." Maria put the glass of milk in a small paper tray and handed it to her, "You know, she is my most beautiful little daughter."

"Thank you." Lu Heng took the cup and was scalded by the heat in his palm, "Then I'll go upstairs first."

"Okay." Maria stood in the warm light, and there were only a few fine lines in the corners of her well-maintained eyes.

"Lu Heng." The moment she was about to turn around, Maria suddenly called out to her, and said in a precious and important tone, "I hope that when you love my daughter, you love yourself first."

Lu Heng froze for a moment, looked at the woman in front of him who gave advice with the most equal attitude, and agreed in a low voice: "I understand."

When she went upstairs, she could still feel the light behind her, and the temperature in the palm of her hand gradually changed from hot to warm. Lu Heng was grateful for Maria's kindness to her, but couldn't help feeling sorry for Ann.

It's only natural to have a preference.

"where did you go?"

As soon as Lu Heng walked into Aneta's room, the door was opened from the inside, and Ann with wet hair came out with doubts, her brows still frowning.

Lu Heng raised the cup in his hand to show her: "Maria warmed up the milk for me."

"...Come in." Aneta's expression softened, and she turned sideways to let Lu Heng enter the room.

"You disappeared when I came out of the shower." While wiping her hair, her voice sounded a little aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little thirsty." Lu Heng took a sip of milk, the temperature was just right, she thought it was not bad, so she asked, "Are you sure you don't want to drink it?"

Aneta shook her head: "You drink."

She wiped her hair until it was half dry, and didn't care about it anymore. When she turned her head, she saw Lu Heng sitting by the bed, obediently holding a cup and drinking, and leaned over without holding back.

"Is it good?" Aneta asked.

Lu Heng thought she couldn't hold back, so he handed over the cup and said, "Here, here you are."

"I don't drink it," Aneta repeated, "but I want to try it."

"Then why..." Lu Heng understood halfway through her words. She looked at Aneta's face that was very close, pursed her lips, and then sent herself over.

Aneta was greatly satisfied by the milky scent between her lips and teeth, and after parting, she slowly exhaled: "Be good today."

After drinking the last sip of milk in the glass, Lu Heng smiled and said, "Really?"

"Did Maria tell you something?" Aneta noticed something, but she didn't look sensitive, but rather lazy.

"It's just some small talk." Lu Heng didn't intend to tell the whole story, even if Ann didn't care, she felt that Maria's words were too cold.

"You won't tell me?" Aneta glanced at her, "But I can probably guess."

"Do you love me?" She put her head on Lu Heng's shoulder, and wrapped her arms around her lover's waist.

Lu Heng felt a little itchy around her ears, and shrank her shoulders unconsciously, but now she said calmly: "It's a little bit."

"Don't worry, I've never been attached to feelings, and I may have to thank my mother, this is her gene."

"Oh..." Lu Heng replied dryly.

Aneta couldn't help laughing, raised her head and kissed her "baji": "You are an exception."

Also my default, which I take for granted.
