474 Drained (2/2)

Lu Zihao looked at her, raised an eyebrow and chuckled. Everyone would have believed that he was just joking, if his eyes didn't look cold and emotionless. It made his charismatic laughter sound utterly demonic.

Jin Liwei observed his Fifth Brother with a barely discernible frown on his face. However, he didn't say anything.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Big Brother, leave it,” Iris told him.

Lu Zihao just shrugged. He walked towards them and sat on an armchair, looking like a king sitting on his throne.

Iris wasn't the least bit bothered by the dangerous aura he was emitting so strongly at the moment. In fact, she oddly felt comforted by it. It reminded her of her Big Brother Nikolai in their past lives.

Jin Liwei, however, felt a little disturbed by it. This Lu Zihao didn't feel like his Fifth Brother. Nevertheless, he was trying to accept this new Lu Zihao. The two had a long talk a few nights ago. It was then that Jin Liwei learned that his Fifth Brother had changed so much. It wasn't just his appearance. His personality and lifestyle had also drastically changed. Despite this, Jin Liwei still cared for him as one of his best friends and brothers, and also because he was extremely important to his baby girl.

Putting aside Lu Zihao's potent and dangerous aura for now, Iris focused on Jiang Ying Yue. Her friend looked emotionally exhausted and weary. Iris' heart softened. There was no use scolding Jiang Ying Yue at this time. Besides, it wasn't her fault that Long Hui had become such a stupid asshole.

Iris sighed and said in a much gentler voice, ”Let's call it a night. We're all tired. Let's talk tomorrow instead. And hurry up. Go pack a bag. You and Little Jun will be temporarily living at Dragon Palace until the issue with your ex-fiancé is resolved. You'll be safer there.”

”I…alright. I'll just commute back here every morning for work,” Jiang Ying Yue replied.

”No, you won't. I'm officially giving you an earlier and extended vacation starting tomorrow. Just use this time to comfort Little Jun. My godson needs you especially after what happened tonight. And also, the two of you need to complete your preparations. We'll be going abroad very soon,” Iris told her.

Jiang Ying Yue opened her mouth. Iris knew that she was about to change her mind about it, so she interrupted Jiang Ying Yue before she could do so.

”You and Little Jun are coming with us,” Iris said in a firm tone. ”It's also safer if the two of you are always with us. It will make it harder for your ex-fiancé to bother you.”

Iris had already stopped calling Long Hui as ”Elder Brother”. She now referred to him as Jiang Ying Yue's ”ex-fiancé”. Besides, she never felt truly close to him, only tolerating him because of Little Jun and Jiang Ying Yue.

With that, the big group left Gold Heights to return to Dragon Palace Home #10. Wei Lan and Clover saw everyone off. The two decided to stay at the penthouse.

Jiang Ying Yue sat in the backseat of one of the vehicles while carefully cradling her sleeping son. She felt emotionally drained, gazing outside the window with empty eyes. She thought that this was the worst night of her life.

She was wrong.

Because a few days later, she would experience an even worse pain.
