C28 (1/2)

Looking into Yu Mingchuan's eyes, Lu Qing felt as if he couldn't breathe properly, but he calmed down.

”I'm just protecting myself.” Lu Qing said his first sentence after meeting Yu Mingchuan.

It was truly laughable. Who would use killing Shi Hu as a bargaining chip? If Shi Hu hadn't died, then she would have already been devoured by now, with not even her bones remaining.

Seeing that Yu Mingchuan was still staring at her, Lu Qing turned back to look at her. Even his eyelashes were so long, especially when he was squinting.

”Zhang Mao gave you to me.”

The devilish face before him suddenly blossomed into a huge grin. Lu Qing, however, could see the ice-cold killing intent within that smile.

”I've heard that you are not yet broken and that you love to be clean.”

Lu Qing didn't want to respond to this. She didn't even want to look at this person's face anymore. She didn't do anything to harm him, yet he wanted to kill her.

How did she become someone else's chess piece?

This world was really too cruel and terrifying. Perhaps after she died, she could return to her own world. It was just that she pitied Han Shuo. Such a smart child, she ended her life at the age of six.

Just as Lu Qing turned his face away, his chin was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.

”Tonight, I'll be serving at the commander-in-chief's residence. I won't change back into my female attire, so I'll be coming as my personal soldier.”

Lu Qing rubbed his chin. This person's strength was too great, she was afraid that her bones would shatter in that instant.

”Mother …” Han Shuo's little face was incomparably pale. He had truly been frightened by Yu Mingchuan. He had never seen someone who was so good-looking yet also so terrifying.

The main reason for this was because he had felt Lu Qing's fear. Even his mother was afraid of him, so he had to be afraid of him as well.

Lu Qing got up and gently rubbed Han Shuo's head with a comforting smile.
