Chapter 57: Lu Li: Go and Kill Ye Chen
“Just want… to stay by my side… to protect ?”
Murmuring this phrase, Lu Li spoke in a tone filled with intriguing implications. He had spent over a decade on Lu Ya, eight years on Zhang Ziqin, but what had he gained? What he received was their ruthless humiliation after Ye Chen appeared.
It couldn’t be considered a betrayal, because after all, he and Zhang Ziqin had nothing between them. But that humiliation, Lu Li rembered.
As for Lu Ya… she’s already dead…
Yet, the Yu ng before him, who had stayed by Ye Chen’s side for so many years, claid she wanted to protect him. This selfless posture of devoting herself at any cost left Lu Li baffled.
Was it all because of the bond they shared over the years?
Especially the tenderness in her gaze made it really hard for Lu Li to discern the truth, because it seed all too real.
He was confident in his ability to read people’s emotions; Chen Xiaoyi was one example. She had fallen for him, but in his presence, she showed a natural inferiority complex, hesitating to get closer, afraid of being too forward – all of which Lu Li saw clearly.
But the woman before him was ‘Dark Moon’, a character known for her disguises in the story, an admirer of the protagonist Ye Chen, and the murderer who killed him in the end.
He found it hard to be sure.
“Uh-huh! Big brother, believe , Xiao ng will always be your Xiao ng, and will never betray you.” Holding onto Lu Li’s legs, Yu ng looked up at him, trembling.
“Alright, since you so wish to stay by my side, but I don’t trust you, how about I give you a chance?”
“Big brother, just say it. Whatever you ask to do, I’ll do it.” Grasping at straws, Yu ng couldn’t bear to leave her big brother; she couldn’t live without him!
“The head of your family now lives in the Zhao household, and both he and his family have wronged . I want you to deal with those people now, especially your ‘master’. I want his head.” Guardedly, Lu Li whispered into Yu ng’s ear like a devil’s whisper.
With just a slight movent, Yu ng could touch Lu Li’s neck, presenting a perfect opportunity.
As a top-notch assassin, Yu ng couldn’t possibly be unaware.
Yet, there was still no movent from Yu ng, causing Lu Li to frown slightly.
“Alright, big brother, I’ll make sure to take care of those people in the Zhao household, and Ye Chen isn’t my master, please don’t misunderstand.” Looking up at Lu Li with so difficulty, Yu ng nodded firmly without a hint of hesitation, and couldn’t help but defend herself.
What consequences, what sches, none of that mattered now. Big brother had agreed to her, after dealing with those people from the Zhang family and Ye Chen, she could stay by his side.
As long as she could prove herself, big brother would accept her.
“Now, get out of my house!”
Pulling away the hand that Yu ng had on his leg, Lu Li left the room with one last remark, his heart in turmoil.
Even if he told himself that the woman before him was good at disguises, was Ye Chen’s person, was the person who killed him in the last life, his eyes told him that everything Yu ng said was true.
He had presented her with opportunities to attack him repeatedly, but Yu ng never touched him once. As an assassin, it was impossible not to notice.
Was she so sure that he would consider past feelings and not harm her, or was it for so other reason?
Is what she said true…?
If it’s true, what should he do?
Yu ng stood up shakily, fiercely wiping the tears from her face, her sad face breaking into a smile that was uncertain whether it was of happiness or sorrow.
“Big brother said, as long as I kill Ye Chen, I can stay by his side, he will forgive . As long as I kill Ye Chen, he will forgive .”
“Killing Ye Chen, I’ll prove that there’s nothing between Ye Chen and , and I can stay by big brother’s side. I want to prove to big brother, I belong to him, only to him, the person I love is only big brother.”
Yu ng picked up the clothes scattered around, dressed neatly, and left the Lu estate, her eyes shining with an almost unbearable murderous intent.
Lu Li stood by the window, watching Yu ng leave. Sending Yu ng to kill Ye Chen seed sowhat absurd; after all, he was the protagonist, how could he be so easily killed? If Yu ng was insincere before, she wouldn’t act against Ye Chen and would only increase Ye Chen’s malice towards himself.
But Lu Li wasn’t afraid; when the ti cos, he’d just have to deal with the two of them together. He and Ye Chen were sworn enemies; he longed for Ye Chen’s hatred.
Having your enemy despise you is a kind of pleasure.
If Yu ng’s previous words were true, and she really acted against Ye Chen, perhaps she would be killed by Ye Chen.
That would be Yu ng’s fate.
Leaving the window, Lu Li no longer cared about Yu ng and headed to Chen Xiaoyi’s room. The fully evolved Chen Xiaoyi had already turned into the style he liked, and Yu
ng’s arrival today had given Chen Xiaoyi a sense of urgency. It was ti to puncture that window paper just right.
“Lu Li… why are you here!” Timidly holding the blanket, covering herself, her cheeks flushed red, completely unaware of how tempting she looked.
“The night is long, and I’m not sleepy. I just want to talk with you through the night and watch the sunrise together.” Smiling wickedly, he approached directly.
In terms of adjusting the mood, Lu Li had it under control.
Yu ng’s appearance not only made Chen Xiaoyi feel threatened. Regardless of the future, he had to reap his reward from this woman.
“Miss Yu ng finally found you, after going through so much to et you, aren’t you going to spend ti with her today?” A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
But she didn’t break away from Lu Li’s strong grip.
“Don’t ntion her!” Lu Li’s brow furrowed.
This left Chen Xiaoyi sowhat confused: “What happened?”
“Yu ng might be a spy sent by that Ye Chen, and that Ye Chen’s identity is no simple matter!” He didn’t hide it, his disdain plain on his face.
Chen Xiaoyi was deeply rooted in her feelings for him; he didn’t deign to compete like a monkey in a zoo for a woman’s favor against the protagonist, playing those petty jealousy gas.
“A spy!” Chen Xiaoyi was taken aback.
“Wasn’t she the one you helped when you were young? How could she…” Having received Lu Li’s help, but then turning around to help soone else against Lu Li, was that Yu ng ungrateful?
“Not quite sure, but almost. It’s true that she was sent by Ye Chen.”
Chen Xiaoyi covered her mouth: “This…”
Regarding that Ye Chen who had aggressively pursued Lu Li at the old Mr. Cao’s birthday party, she had no good impression. Now that Lu Li said he was no simple character.
And even sent a spy to Lu Li’s side.
“Damn bastard, if you dare harm Lu Li, I’ll kill you.”
Thinking this in her heart, a glint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
“Alright, let’s not talk about those unhappy things. When Yu ng kissed before, soone seed almost ready to cry, huh!”
“I was not… mmm…”
Before Chen Xiaoyi could defend her blushing self, Lu Li kissed her lips.
