Chapter 589 I rather die (2/2)

Now it was Nie Chen's turn to be dumbfounded at what he was hearing. His head turns from side to side at the two men then he points in the direction of Yue Ling.

”What innocent woman? She is as strong as any man out there in the world. I should be the innocent woman.”

”…”

Yue Ling never once intervene in the conversation. However, she had to admit, Nie Chen is right.

She was born a woman, but after her parents left this world, she was raised no different from a life of the opposite gender. However, she had it much harder because she is a woman.

Which was the reason why she trained and studied hard every day. She made sure that even though she looked weak and fragile in the eyes of others, her strength and knowledge were never inferior to anyone else's.

Oblivious to her thoughts about his words, Nie Chen moves his hand pointing at her. He scratches the back of his head and chuckles.

”Boss, do you have any food? This subordinate is hungry.”

Yue Ling returned to her senses and glance at the man. Thinking about something, she shrugs her shoulder and leans back on the couch.

”There's food here, but you should probably go ask your 'boss'.”

Nie Chen was at a loss for words. He stares at her with heavy eyes. However, only for a quick second as he stood up and puts both his fist on his hip.

”I only do it for the money in order to survive this corrupted world we call Earth. No matter where I go or who pays me, I will forever be a loyal member of Fate and you, Han Yue Ling will always be my boss.”

His words fell and he quickly walks away to the kitchen. He was afraid Yue Ling might stop him from eating as he was really hungry. However, everything he said was the truth.

He may have left Fate to seek his own path, but no matter where he went and who he worked for, his home is where Fate is.

There were even times when he would be captured by those from the underworld who holds a grudge against Fate. They would threaten him for information about Fate and Yue Ling's identity, but he never once gave in and escaped.

He had cheated death too many times, but he would rather die than betray his only family and home.

Yue Ling watched the man disappear into the kitchen. A faint smile curls on her lip as she felt it was nice to see him again. Out of all her subordinates, Nie Chen was the most shameless and careless one. Not only that, he was never afraid to pick a fight with her.

If he wanted to come back to Fate, she would welcome him with open arms as the door was never closed for him.

She sighs inside then looks back at the couch across from her. Seeing that Liu Shan and Lin Hui were still stuck in a daze, she clears her throat.

”Ahem.”

Both Liu Shan and Lin Hui jumped up in surprise. It was as if their lost souls had suddenly returned to their body. Two pairs of eyes blink at the same time. However, it was not Nie Chen, who they were looking at but at each other.

Liu Shan's cheeks flush red in embarrassment and he looks away to his boss. At the same time, Lin Hui's ears turned red and he too looks in the same direction.

Shaking her head, Yue Ling fold her arms over her chest as her right leg cross over her left.

”Why wasn't I informed of Nie Chen��s arrival?”

Lin Hui part his lip to answer, but not knowing what to say, he gives Liu Shan a side glance. He sends a look as if saying, 'You're her assistant. You tell her.'

Left with no other choice, Liu Shan glares at the man before heaving a long sigh. He quickly puts on a stern expression and straighten his shoulders.

However, met with Yue Ling's eyes that can see straight into a person's soul, a crooked smile appears on his face then a chuckle.

”Heh. Heh. You see, we said we had something to report, but we didn't think the report would get here before us.”

From the side, Lin Hui kept his mouth shut, but his head nod in agreeing to the answer.
