152 My First Priority (1/2)

”Come with me, and I won't hurt him.”

Lu Shen repeated his words. They had to move quickly. The more time they spent out in the open, the more information the culprit might gather about Xiao Yin.

Seeing that resistance was futile, Hui Yin forced herself to say, ”Let him go, and I'll come with you.”

His temper was so volatile, it was like poking a raging lion. He might make the situation difficult for them, so it was better to act with caution. She pushed down her anger and obediently followed him to his car, resisting the urge to give a backward glance at Jiang Xu.

No matter what Lu Shen does to her, she could reset it all anyway. And maybe she could ask him about the culprit, as he definitely had a stack of information about the person he had been chasing for years. The sooner she caught him, the sooner she could get away...

With these kind of thoughts running in her mind, the two people got into the car, both ignoring the abandoned fiancée standing frozen on the park. And as soon as they drove away, the guards released Jiang Xu, whose eyes were overcast.

If only he had been stronger and more powerful, his Wifey wouldn't have to sacrifice herself for him. His lips pressed together, he left the park and headed back towards the company. He would definitely not let this same incident happen again!

...

Hui Yin tried to mask her surprise when she opened the car door and stepped out into the driveway.

They didn't come back to the villa Lu Shen lived before. Hui Yin glanced at the familiar colossal structure in front of her, with its iron gates, delicate marble fountain, and tall projecting porticoes.

It was the mansion she lived in when she married him in her past life.

Like it was only yesterday, Hui Yin could still remember Nian Zhen's sneer, and her cutting remarks as she barred her from entering the gates.

—Don't you know that trash are not allowed in our home?

”Xiao Yin.”

Lu Shen's voice shattered the memories in her mind. Hui Yin blinked, and she saw that the mansion was newly built. It was not the same place that filled her with endless nightmares.

But she still didn't want to enter it.

”Let's talk in the conservatory.”

Not waiting for his answer, Hui Yin led the way to the right side of the mansion. In her haste, she didn't notice Lu Shen's shocked expression. The sun room was where she spent most of her time in the mansion, and there were no bad memories there. Only moments of peace and silence, while she sat cross-legged on the sofa and embroidered her clothes to make it prettier.

There was an L-shaped sofa there, without the various potted plants Hui Yin had nurtured throughout the years. Right now, the sunroom was still bare and lifeless.

”How did you know there was a conservatory?” Lu Shen asked her, leaning against the doorway as if he was blocking her only escape route.

Hui Yin's heart jumped. How could she be so careless with her words?
