The lights inside the house that was once off flickers back on as Liu Shan and Lin Hui rush inside. Two pairs of eyes search in panic for their boss.
When they arrived at the gate, they were surprised to see the entire place engulf in darkness. Being Yue Ling’s subordinates, they were given a keycard to open the gate. However, no matter how many tis they scanned it, the gate would not open.
The two n did not need to think any further as they knew sothing was not right. Quickly getting out of the car, they climbed over the fence and rushed inside.
Surprisingly, the mont they barged through the door the lights ca back on. It was like who ever it was that turned them off in the first place had set a ti sensor.
"Boss!"
Both n calls out to Yue Ling, but when they saw the scene in front of them, their jaw drops to the floor. Neither n expected to see their boss holding a man in a rear choke hold.
Liu Shan quickly returns to his senses and darts over to help.
"Boss!!"
His expression was full of worry and alert. He quickly drops to his knees and both his arms reach down.
"Boss! Stop! You’re going to kill him!"
It wasn’t his boss who he was worried about, but the man in her arms. He tries to free the man from Yue Ling’s arms but no matter how much he tried, she would not let go. Even the look in her eyes had changed like she had turn into a killing machine.
As Liu Shan sweat from head to toe for the man, Lin Hui finally woke up from his mini shock. His eyes blinks a few tis and he looks at the three people on the floor.
"Uh... His face is turning purple."
At the sa ti, Yue Ling kept her arms and legs around the man. She did not plan to let him go until he answers her. Even when the lights ca back on and her subordinates entered the house, she does not lessen her strength.
However, hearing their words full of worry, her brows slightly crease together.
This man trespassed her ho and attacked her. Why do they care so much if he dies?
Unless... He is not an enemy.
Feeling the man in her arms starting to lose his consciousness, she quickly loosen her grip around him.
"Cough! Cough!"
Just when she moved her arms away from the man’s neck, he frantically coughs and gasp for any air around him. He rolls away from Yue Ling and felt as if he had been drowning in the ocean but was suddenly able to swim back to the surface to catch his breath.
Seeing the man still alive, Liu Shan slumps down to sit on the floor as Yue Ling pulls herself up from the floor to sit.
She stares at the unknown man as he continues to catch his breath. He laid on his back with his chest heaving rapidly and his long straight hair in a complete ss that it covered his face.
However, seeing sothing shiny around his neck, her brows slight crease. It was a necklace with a tiny pendant, but she felt it looked remarkably familiar. Like she had seen it before.
Suddenly recalling his voice, her eyes widen and this ti it was her who gasped loudly.
"Nie Chen?"
The disheveled looking man was still coughing, but he was able to lift his trembling hand and gives her thumbs up in response.
He quickly caught his breath and turn his head to look at Yue Ling. Seeing her look of shock and surprised, he laughs so hard that his shoulders trembles. Moving his hair out of his face, his smile is kept on his face revealing his pearl white teeth.
"Damn Mami. You’re still as deadly as you were in the past."
If Ning i were here, she would faint from shock as this man na Nie Chen is the sa holess looking Nie Chen she had t at the fishing dock. However, unlike his bird nest hair and shabby clothes, the him at this mont looked like a completely different person.
His hair was now straight and silky. The torn-up clothes he had on earlier has been replaced with a light grey plaid suit and a black turtleneck underneath.
Even the dirt on his face had been cleaned off allowing one to see the real him.
The him who is as charming like a son from a wealthy family who was raised with good manners. His appearance at this mont could break many won’s hearts.
Yue Ling stares at the man’s smiling face and she was at a loss for all words. Her eyes couldn’t help but tremble before she steadied her heart.
However, anger intensifies insider her.
She stood up from the floor and strides in big steps towards Nie Chen. Grabbing him the collar, she shakes him up and down on the floor.
"You idiot! Why didn’t you say anything?! I could have killed you!!"
Nie Chen was taken back by surprise to see her suddenly grab him. However, not wanting to fight her, he lets his body fall lose and his head swings in every direction like he had no bones in his neck.
"I did try. But you were choking so hard, you didn’t even let talk. I was trying to tell you, ’It’s ’, but all I was able to say way, ’I... kkk.... I....’."
Seeing the sudden change of events, Liu Shan and Lin Hui glance at one another then back to the two people in another dispute. Both n shrug their shoulders at the sa ti and walks towards the living room.
Liu Shan: "Always the sa when they et."
Lin Hui: "I’m hungry. Do you think boss have any leftovers?"
After a long minute of shaking the man like a worried mother, Yue Ling finally calms down. She drops the man on the floor and takes a big step back. Her eyes glares viciously at the man with her chest heaving up and down.
"Living room. Now."
Watching her walk away, Nie Chen thanked the heavens for sparing his life by sending Liu Shan and Lin Hui. He gets up from the floor to follow her, but seeing her familiar figure, a faint smile curls on his lips. Placing hands at the sides of his mouth, he raises his voice cheerfully after her.
"I miss you too!!"
Not wanting to be strangle to death again, he quickly follows after Yue Ling to join Liu Shan and Lin Hui.
Inside the living room, Yue Ling sat on one of the white couches as the three n sat together on the one across from her.
Liu Shan and Lin Hui sat on the side and Nie Chen sat in the center. However, the three n looked like good students listening to their teacher.
"Why are you here?"
Although he looked like was paying attention, Nie Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but get distracted by Yue Ling’s marvelous house. The last ti he heard about her, she was living at Jade Condos. He went to look for her there, but Manager Luo said she had moved.
If it weren’t for the old man, he would have never been able to find her new house.
"Bro, boss is talking you."
Hearing Liu Shan’s words, Nie Chen blinked his eyes and looks at Yue Ling. t with her bluish green eyes that can drown one into a deep abyss, he chuckles sarcastically.
"Oh yea, I ca here because Ning i paid to kill you."
His smile widens and his eyes turns into upside down crescents.
"But she didn’t know that I know you."
