Vol 1 Chapter 11 (2/2)
But that little brat was the real asshole
I felt like I had just slept and woken up frohtmare Once I opened my eyes, I saw Ke Luo’s face as expected
“Uncle Lee”
I was a goner this time
I casually replied, “Mm-hm”
At this rate, I won’t beg him anymore There’s no point
I just didn’t knohy I felt a tinge of sadness So this was my fate? shi+t
Ke Luo looked at me for a while “You’re thinner”
I laughed What rat living on the streets wasn’t all skin and bones?
He couldn’t be thinking of fatteninga stew out of me?
“It’s good that you’re back”
Huh? What’s good about it?
“I didn’t tell Uncle Lu about you being a spy”
It was a little unexpected I waited for his next line
“So you can come back to the company for work I won’t pursue the matter anymore”
He really was astoundingly generous I slowly sat up from the bed
I was extre it unbelievable
A second ago, he had fiercely wanted to “deal” with me, yet now, all of a sudden, he wanted to try and abandon past grudges The glass of wine he had thrown in my face and the endless hunt over these past few days—don’t tell ination?
“But there are conditions”
“What are they?”
“You have to apologize to Shu Nian”
“What else?”
“Don’t appear in front of him from now on”
I felt a little like laughing This was unavoidably too easy Shu Nian’s charis it soht, I shook my head “I can’t do it”
Ke Luo creased his brows as he looked at me “Why can’t you leave him alone?”
This was ato life Just do what should be done “If you’re uneasy, then isn’t it more convenient to simply finish me off with a bullet?”
Ke Luo didn’t say anything ht he’d explode or at the very least throw some punches at me, but he remained silent He simply stared at me with those black eyes
Those heart-broken eyes
At long last, he lowered his eyes “Rest well then I’”
After that, Ke Luo really didn’t bother me anyme down The less he did, the more uneasy I beca down
There are sos you must seize the moment and do And since I didn’t knoould turn out, I went to S city
Xie Yan wasn’t going mad with craze anymore He had withdrawn the capture and kill order, but I couldn’t just wander openly before their very eyes
I simply followed that duet off work He walked into a bookstore and slowly decided on a cookbook Then he entered a super a small half cart He was even as nosy as to assist in capturing back the grass carp that had jumped out of the fisheries area After that he walked out, drove home, and went upstairs
I looked at his face that was similar to mine It seemed like time had passed in a blink of an eye He had clearly been so srown up
He was probably living a decent life
In fact, I wasn’t certain To decide that this s and the faint rese that foolishly sentimental
Without a DNA test, I won’t believe it
I spoke of scientific facts
But not knohy, I had the urge to see him
Following hio out anyarette to s back hoidly say in my ear, “What do you ith him now?”
I nearly droppedat me
I coarette, and leisurely said, “What? I can’t even look at him? Don’t tell me he’s part of your family?”
Ke Luo helplessly looked at me “Can’t you just leave him alone? He’s in poor health Don’t harass him anymore”
His expression held the kind of love that’s carved deep within the bones No matter how it’s concealed, it would still be that apparent
I laughed “I won’t do anything to hiht
Ke Luo’s face turned to an awful shade He appeared to be tre A moment passed before he murmured, “You’ve seriously disappointed me”
His young back slowly disappeared into the dusk
I pressed againsttemples I didn’t knohy I had to be so mouthy Ultimately, did I want him to be unhappy or myself?
I squatted on the curbside and s Shan Perhaps I should just be a villain all the way To be stuck in between, neither going up nor doas painful,
“Xiao Wen? How co there?”
The person who answered the call was Tong Shan’s h she was paainst the laws of nature, she was good at heart and liked me to a certain extent
“He’s in a ”
“Once he’s out, ask hiive me a call”
“Lee,” she hesitated a little and lowered her voice, “Don’t come back”
“Why?”
“Hold on” From the sound of it, she seeood man”
I laughed “I’m well aware of that If he was, he wouldn’t have thrown me out as soon as he was forced by the Lu family”
“Not like that He was planning to kill before”
A sudden shi+ver ran up my back I was speechless for a while
“I don’t kno, but it was exposed Sootiation, rubbing it in for a good nue for your life”
“…”
“He decided not to lay a hand on you after the Lu family indicated that they won’t pursue the matter You didn’t easily escape from death this time, so please don’t be conceited anymore”
“…”
“Be careful”
I had no idea when the call was disconnected My head throbbed with pain I could only continue pressing ainst my head
I had already sone dry I felt a sharp pain through my nose as I breathed
It suddenly occurred to me that maybe he had intentionally locked the study room that day
Otherwise, why did it take the to come in and as it so easy for me to escape?
Maybe he really didn’t want to hand me over to the Xie family
Maybe, towards me, he still had a tiny bit of…
I was afraid that I won’t ever have a chance to know
I repeatedly dialed Ke Luo’s nu up at all Eventually, I turned off my phone
I suddenly felt scared
I had thought that, apart fro
I tried s, it connected It was Cheng Yi Chen
“hello, I’ for Ke Luo”
“Ah, what a coincidence, he just came back fro Yi Chen’s voice calling out to him, “Xiao Luo, there's a phone call from Uncle Lee”
NoYi Chen wait
I stood up straighter and my heart pounded as I heard the receiver shi+ft into his hand But after waiting for a while, I still didn’t hear Ke Luo’s voice
I heard the faint sound of slippersaway
I cleared my throat And just as I was ready to talk, I heard a click The call was disconnected
I was in shock for a while I set the cell phone down, and my heart suddenly ached a little
I thought of the tiny bit of naïve gentleness behind that cold detachment
I had let it slip by me
