Chapter 44 (1/2)
”Are you feeling quite alright, Wan Qing?” Lin Naoi asked It was supposed to sound caring and attentive, but it lacked the necessary warmth
Wan Qing's heart started thu She knew that this was the typical tone used by Lin Naoi to express her dissatisfactions with her Her words sounded warm and indifferent at the same time
”Yes… Yes, indeed I didn't rest well last night, and I feel a bit unwell But you shouldn't worry, it was nothing but a chill” Xu Wan forced a s to express her apology to her mistress She decided that when the situation allowed, she would seize the first chance to absent herself froation and free herself from any further accusations
However, before she could open her , asking her to take it, before de her to take a rest in the hotel Clearly, Lin Naoi did not want her to leave just yet
Wan Qing's heart skipped a bit when she saw that bottle of blue liquid drug It had the volu Mu had in hand
Moreover, it was not long ago when the mutants had also taken them!
Was she irew more nervous minute by minute She felt uncertain about her mistress' intention, and this uncertainty made her inwardly disturbed
”This is a newly developed drug It could enhance one's iy level You should i it,” Lin Naoi calmly said
Wan Qing was taken by fright She took it fro's slightly lighter color sees taken by the mutants, but she was still rather nervous
”Wan Qing, what have you actually done to him Don't try to hold it back I want no secrets between us two” Lin Naoi gazed at her
Wan Qing smiled back at her mistress, but her heart still trembled in terror She could think of many possible outcomes if she chose to unveil the truth She knew the natural disposition of her , she would still not like the idea of hi harmed by a third-party
Everything would have beenhad died in her set-up There were Bodhi Genes and Kong Ki them for his death would have been the perfect solution to the mess she had caused on herself However, to her terror, Chu Feng was still well and alive
”We did bicker and squabbled last time he called me I said he would never prove to be afor a co's voice was tilance at Lin Naoi, then continued, ”I really don't think he is a great uys are from two different worlds”
She tried to conceal parts of her wrongdoings with lies and side-tracking It was her desperate atte, she would stillshe had done
”You are such a disappointreat composure as she spokebehind the words
Wan Qing's one rightShe knew that her mistress was not the stupid kind ho regarding the senseless operation, nor had she collected any substantial proofs, she must have had her own suspicions
Just then, Lin Naoi's co
”The little girl whom you sent out for me had been treated with an intense bombardment on our way back She died a h the communicator
Although Lin Naoi had conjured theories and conjectures about what ht have happened to soeous She spined on her heels, and faced Wan Qing with a surveying look The glaring rays projecting out of her fetching eyes reached Wan Qing's guilty conscience and pierced her frail heart
”Ah!” The soul-piercing stare pricked her heart and her eyes like a cutting needle, unsettling her greatly
At the same time, she also heard the voice of that man: theair Her fear was thereby confirmed
Hoas this happening? Was he not in the car then? This was thepoint in herwould have been left posing against her if he had died She would then be able to walk away from her past evil scot free
There were people who always tried to attribute their undoing to others and never looked for the wrongs in themselves
”Mu, you should be here to savesilently prayed in her heart It was all because of her willingness to lend Mu a helping hand that all these troubles were brought about on her
”Uncle Qian, take her into custody Don't forget that she is a mutant, so lock her with the all the latest invention of our alloy yokes and shackles,” Lin Naoi calmly ordered her to be taken down
This ca like a thunderbolt Her face instantly turned pale, and her rosy cheeks had now lost their color She was both terrified and fearful while her ears were buzzing with sound
She knew that only the uilty sins beyond forgiveness would be damned to such a heartless punishment The yokes and shackles were both casted with scarce metal They ensured no-one would run free from their confinement so that in the end, the worst possible form of retribution could be imposed on them
A slightly opulent old man leisurely ambled in He had a kindly look He was an affable man as always a but solemn His devotion to his mistress co
”Naoi, how could you treatexclaimed
”You are ave you the authority to act on my behalf when I'm not available to communicate with the outside world You could have done everything you wanted, but this time, you crossed my bottomline,” Lin Naoi indifferently said
Lin Naoi had a tall and thin physique That lanky figure of hers was much desired by every one of her beholders At ti herself was envious of her ance of her mistress could easily turn to a cold-hearted indifference when anger crept in The look of her was bitingly frosty
Wan Qing was a pretty woman as well, but she could always feel a sense of inferiority in the presence of her glamorous mistress The lack of confidence turned to sheer fear when Lin Naoi picked up her ile word could be spoken from her mouth
Lin Naoi wavered her hand, signalling for Uncle Qian to take her away
”Where are you, Chu Feng? I want to pick you up” Lin Naoi rung up her past lover
”Already in town”
”I was planning to be treated by you for soet about it, the treat is on me this time,” Lin Naoi candidly offered
Chu Feng understood to what Lin Naoi was referring She wanted to express her apology to him
He replied with an address, and after a while, a red sedan stopped at the roadside beside him Therolled down, and the rosy cheeks of his past lover cropped up ”Hop in!” Lin Naoi said
Chu Feng looked around the car, then said, ”Red? This was not quite what I expected of a coldly elegant person like you Your frostiness used to make me think that you drove a blue car”
”You've really got aI used to know and…” Lin Naoi paused, then she showed a light-hearted smile The way she dressed was quite different too It was not an exquisite dress, but rather a mix- luxurious or even branded, but her attire was nothing in poor taste either
Shortly, they arrived at a restaurant
The diner was a quiet and cozy place It played athe conversations between the guests to be undisturbed There was also a crystal chandelier hanging down above the marble floor Obviously, the place was of no ht qualify to be the best diner in town Most importantly, the place was tidy and clean
Exiting the car, the talked into the diner abreast Lin Naoi had been plainly turned out today The unusual casualness displayed by Lin Naoi's hot pants and t-shi+rt naturally caught Chu Feng's eyes
However, this sense of casualness also clearly showed her superb figure She was 170 centiht was contributed by her straight and well-proportioned legs The legs were also snohite,
”What's wrong?” Lin Naoi crocked her head and asked
”We've parted for so long, so I wanted to have a better look at you, but there is so smiled
It had always been the sheer brazenness of Chu Feng that rendered her speechless; however, the brazenness was portrayed and spoken with confidence as if justice were on Chu Feng's side One could co was an open and sincere kind, and it rong to call hiood son of a btch
”You really haven't changed,” Lin Naoi replied with a visceral s as a person They made acquaintance with each other all thanks to the openness that was dictated by Chu Feng's unique characteristics in the first place
At school, who but Chu Feng would have dared provoke her? Chu Feng was the kind as not afraid of courting troubles, so he had the edge over the other pursuers ere too careful to pluck up their courage tofrostiness inherent to her was the obstruction for many to make a move
Chu Feng, on the other hand, was a different animal He could easily make an impression of himself in anyone's mind if he wanted He behaved himself with a cheeky insolentover her seat, folding her na the plane to take off with a gentle blow in front of hi her name card into the air outside All these was still soraved on her mind
Chu Feng did have left a first iirl many loved, albeit a horrid one at first However, Lin Naoi had never been quick to take offense, so naturally, although it was shocking to see such discourteousness portrayed on her, it was not a stu their relationshi+ps
”Come! Let ed and what haven't to you” Chu Feng sression by sizing her up from top to bottoirl, fro neck, then doent the passionate look of a lover to the very bottoirl's feet
