Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 938

Chapter 938: Chapter 715: A Long-Awaited Kiss (Part 3)

His blue-gray eyes were as deep as the night, his slender and rough fingers gently brushed past her flushed eyelids and moist red lips, aware that his proud self-control was on the verge of collapse.

He suppressed the surging thoughts and desires, murmuring softly, "Enough, it’s enough..."

Shen Tang knew now was not the time for lingering love. She lightly caught her breath to calm her emotions, raising her hand to gently caress the man’s handsome face.

"Can you tell me what you’ve experienced these past few months? Why are you in Sky City and even became the Third Boss?"

Lu Xiao did not conceal anything, and truthfully said, "After we separated initially, I landed near Sky City. At first, I arrived in this unfamiliar world, with no friends or acquaintances, unable to find any news about you."

"I thought that with a sufficiently strong force, I could mobilize more resources and find you more quickly."

"I was most worried you were taken to the ’Hand of Creation,’ so at that time, I had no choice but to quickly gather clues and had to disguise my identity to join Sky City."

"I’m sorry, Tangtang, for finding you so late."

Lu Xiao looked down deeply at her, continuing to explain, "Later, when I learned about your whereabouts, you had already gone to the Fox Clan. I knew Shen Li was by your side, and he could protect you well."

"I guessed you might come this way, so I wanted to establish a foothold here first, so I could help and protect you better in the future. That’s why I didn’t dare to reveal myself recklessly..."

Shen Tang listened in shock, though Lu Xiao only lightly outlined half a year’s experience, but she knew very well how dangerous Sky City was.

It is a place of total chaos, even though Lu Xiao is powerful, there is no shortage of strong individuals here.

To reach the position of Third Boss, he must have gone through many hardships, far from being as easy as he said.

It turns out he did it for her, unable to recognize her, while she was unaware of his painstaking efforts.

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault... I shouldn’t have recklessly come looking for you, causing you to be exposed and wasting your efforts for so long." Shen Tang sniffed, and said in a low, guilty voice, "I just wanted to see you and confirm if it was you..."

Seeing her like this, Lu Xiao was pained beyond measure. How could he allow her to feel guilty because of him?

He gently stroked her cheek and comforted warmly, "Don’t blame yourself, my identity would eventually have been discovered."

Shen Tang placed her hand over his broad hand back, lifted her moist eyes to look at him seriously, "This place is too dangerous. You fell out with the Second Boss to save me, he certainly won’t let you go! You can’t stay here anymore, come with me."

She tightened her grip on his hand, mourningly said, "Ah Xiao, I don’t want to be separated from you again."

Lu Xiao’s Adam’s apple moved violently, almost agreeing.

But ultimately, he suppressed all emotions, shook his head and said hoarsely, "I’m sorry, Tangtang, I still can’t leave."

He said softly, "I must stay here."

"Why?"

"I’m sorry." Lu Xiao looked at her, his expression complicated, "I can’t tell you."

Shen Tang was dazed and found it hard to believe.

In her heart, Lu Xiao had always been wholehearted to her, never hiding anything. But now, she felt he seemed to be hiding many things, many unspoken secrets.

So much seems to have changed about him over this last half year.

"You really can’t tell me? Why?" Shen Tang asked unwillingly.

Lu Xiao just gently rubbed her hair, "I’m sorry, Tangtang, I really can’t say."

Shen Tang’s fingers unconsciously grasped his collar, crumpling the neat neckline slightly.
