Lu Zihao lifted Long Jinjing and carried her out of the training grounds. She yelped in surprise but didn’t struggle at all. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his strong shoulder. Her trust in him was very clear in her actions. His chest felt warm with confusing emotions but he held her closer to himself.
He brought her to his private room in the headquarters. It was more like a suite than a regular room. The main area functioned as his office where his subordinates would usually go first to find him to report something. There was a small bedroom and ensuite bathroom as well. Everything in the place was simple and functional. There were no extra decorations.
After locking the door, he finally put her down on her own two feet. She still felt a little shaky so she continued holding on to him to stay steady. He didn’t mind. On the contrary, he liked that she clung to him. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
He led her to the couch. "Sit."
She did. The couch was surprisingly comfortable despite looking plain like the rest of the office. She looked around. It looked like a typical office with a desk, a pile of documents on top of it, a desktop computer with three monitors, and an extra laptop computer.
Lu Zihao headed to a corner where there was a small fridge. He took out two bottles of iced tea before joining her on the couch.
While they were drinking, Long Jinjing blushed because Lu Zihao kept on staring at her. Feeling brave, she scooted over and leaned her head on his shoulder. She smiled when his arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Still afraid?" he asked in a devilish voice.
She nodded.
"But you still love me?"
Her smile grew wider. She nodded again. She tilted her head upwards and looked at him. "Now I know your secret, you have to take responsibility and protect me."
He chuckled. His deep, masculine voice was so devilish that it made her shiver in delight. He rubbed her cheek with his other hand. "That’s what I’m planning to do anyway."
"Really?"
"Hm."
She now felt more relaxed despite everything that she had witnessed earlier.
"Jinjing, you don’t mind that I’ve killed people before?" he asked in a neutral tone.
Her body stiffened but she clung to him even more. "I..." She bit her lower lip and thought for a few seconds on how to best respond to his question. "I need to think about this information regarding you first. I’ve...never encountered something like this before so give me some time to...uhm, get used to it, I guess?"
"You intend to stay with me?"
She straightened and glared at him. "What do you mean by that? You thought I’m going to leave you?"
