chapter-1132
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.
"My pleasure, love." He gave her a light kiss on the lips. "We're going to have some visitors later."
She tilted her head to the side. "Who?"
"You'll see," he said with a mysterious smile.
She pouted but didn't bother asking him again. She felt so relaxed from his massage that all she wanted was to cuddle with her husband right now. She didn't feel too curious about their visitors, whoever they might be.
Jin Liwei joined her on the bed for the cuddle that she wanted. At that moment, a black cat appeared on the screen of the tablet propped on the bedside table.
"Mother, Father. Bacon has something interesting to report."
"What is it?" Jin Liwei asked.
Iris also looked at their cat AI son with expectant eyes.
"Uncle Zihao brought Aunt Jinjing to Shadow Winds headquarters."
"What?" Iris was shocked.
Jin Liwei's eyebrows rose in surprise as well.
Then without any guilt or whatsoever, Bacon spilled to his parents how his Uncle Zihao asked him, the nephew, for relationship advice yesterday. Jin Liwei choked on laughter but he quickly disguised it as a cough. Iris looked even more shocked and in disbelief.
"Did that really happen?" She wouldn't say that her AI son was a liar but Bacon already had a history of twisting the truth to suit his own purposes before.
"Bacon is telling the truth, Mother."
The tablet screen flickered and it showed a series of live surveillance videos taken by several cameras. Both Iris and Jin Liwei immediately recognized the place as the Shadow Winds headquarters. They watched as Lu Zihao led a timid Long Jinjing inside.
"If I'm not seeing this with my own eyes, I'll find this very hard to believe," Iris said. Her shock was gradually transforming into awed intrigue.
For his part, Jin Liwei now looked calmer. "Your brother has fallen."
"Fallen in love."
"En."
"I can't believe that my brother is revealing Shadow Winds to his lover." Iris sighed. "He has never treated any woman like this before."
"Love can change people. I changed a lot when I fell in love with you." Jin Liwei rubbed his lips on her forehead. "For the better."
"I know." She smiled before focusing on watching the surveillance videos again. "Big Sister Jinjing doesn't look too good."
Jin Liwei agreed. "She looks scared."
Iris nodded. "Bacon, that's enough."
"Understood, Mother." The tablet screen flickered. The surveillance videos disappeared and showed the fluffy, black cat AI again.
Although Iris was curious, she didn't want to encroach on her brother's privacy too much without his permission.
"Both of them are adults. They can handle their own affairs. If Big Brother made this decision, then he has to bear the consequences. But one thing is for sure. Big Sister Jinjing's life will change after this. A lot."
