Confusion and dread filled Long Jinjing. Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, she was already beginning to have an idea based on what she was seeing so far and how serious Lu Zihao acted. She took a few deep breaths in a difficult attempt to calm herself down. Then she gave him a shaky smile.

"You can trust me, Nikolai," she whispered before leaning forward to press her lips against his lips.

There was no lust in the kiss. This time, it was a way to reassure each other.

"Jinjing."

"Y-yes?"

"I'm going to show you a glimpse of the real me today. If after this, you decide that you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore, I'll let you go. And if you also decide to reveal what you see here today to others, I'll have to disappear."

Her heart jumped. "What do you mean by you'll have to disappear?"

"You won't see me again. Ever."

"No!" She jumped into his arms and hugged his neck tightly as if she never wanted to let him go. "Don't disappear, Nikolai. Please!"

He sighed and wrapped his arms around her, embracing her close to him. "Let me show you inside first. Then you can decide if you still want me."

She was reluctant to let go of his neck, feeling afraid that he would really disappear from her life forever, but she still forced herself to let go and nod. "Okay."

As soon as they stepped out of the car, the armed people greeted them. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"Welcome back, Boss Hao!"

"Hello, Miss Jinjing!"

Long Jinjing was startled upon hearing her name. She glanced at the stoic Lu Zihao.

He said, "They know that you're my girlfriend. Shun and Robin are their comrades."

"Oh." She now understood but not completely.

Everything was still very confusing for her. And scary. Really scary.

Since they were greeting her, she couldn't just ignore them. "H-hello…."

They nodded at her, acting very respectful. No, their respect wasn't actually directed at her but the intimidating man walking beside her. Since she was together with Lu Zihao, their boss, they had no choice but to treat her with courtesy even though each and every one of them looked like they could crush her easily with their bare hands. They all looked very strong, even the thin ones.

The front entrance to the warehouse opened. She saw familiar faces waiting inside.

"Robin! Shun!"

The partners smiled at her.

"Good to see you again, Miss Jinjing."

"Welcome back, Boss Hao."

Long Jinjing was about to ask them some questions when she saw that the two were also armed with guns. She couldn't stop herself from sticking closer to Lu Zihao.

Shun and Robin pretended not to notice her frightened reaction and followed the couple as they walked deeper inside.
