Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Chen leaned against the wall as he watched the dancer, who seed like Wen He, march away after giving him a brief wave. His hands fell down like his hope.
She is right. If I can’t give her what she wanted, what’s the point of forcing her to stay with ?
Didn’t we have a deal before? Mission accomplished, I get my country saved, she gets the freedom she wanted. Isn’t that it?
And now she treasures her freedom and hides away from the world. Shouldn’t I feel relieved?
But why?
What is this feeling?
Why is there sothing rattling inside ?
It took a mont before Huo Chen managed to collect his thoughts and calmly exit the building to et Huo Yunting and the others.
“How was it?” Imdiately Lu Zhaoyang asked.
Huo Chen shook his head sluggishly.
“I’ll do it then!” Said Lu Bai, agitated.
“Lu Bai!” Shouted Huo Chen upon the running boy, “Please...give so ti, will you? Just...just leave her alone for the mont. Please.” He feared that the woman would leave the city for good if she was pressed too much.
Then he would forever lose her.
“...” Lu Bai glared at him for quite so ti. He backed off and stayed back in the group despite his eyes showing unwillingness. “Fine.”
“Thank you.” And Huo Chen dragged his feet back to his accommodation.
“What’s up with him? Asked Zhaoyang.
“Things only a man in love would understand,” said Huo Yunting as he bead at Zhaoyang.
“What?”
Huo Chen took out his phone back in his room, as he hit the stairs, and promptly contacted Song Shou, “Song Shou, I order you to perform a thorough investigation on a female dancer of Golden City with the na ‘Karina’. Anything. Na, educational background, family background, even address, previous addresses. Get them to as soon as possible.”
“Copy.” Song Shou was puzzled by the order but he still started his inspection on the woman. And within a few hours, Huo Chen got a call.
“Sir, I have sothing here. Apparently this ‘Karina’ girl has an unusual relationship with the owner of Golden City. She seems to be an illegal resident. Also, all the personal information associated with Karina was shown to be sobody else according to the database under Golden City. It took a while to get her address but she seems to be living inside an apartnt near the Sakura route.”
“Mhm.” Huo Chen responded approvingly, “That’ll be enough.” He hung up, treading over an entire floor of cigarette butts as he lit a new one.
I knew it! She’s Wen He after all!
I have never doubted myself on my own judgnt.
Well—The tricky part is...should I respect her opinion on this? As in, leaving her alone and let her be Karina. Let her be the free woman she always wanted to be. Let us part ways as if we never t.
At most—probably we would only be saying “hello” or “goodbye” to each other as we coincidentally et on the street.
But will I be happy with that?
Huo Chen thought as he took a very deep breath, letting the nicotine numb his senses so that his agitation would die down.
——
anwhile, Karina, or we should address her as “Wen He”, was removing makeup from her face.
I know, I know. This is a romance novel and I am bound to be exposed. As long as the soldier man performs an investigation on , my camouflage would be blown away. That is also why I did not forge an identification. I just took over sobody else’s place instead.
I was going to be discovered anyti anyway. And I thought I was a bit ahead of him for I chose to work as a temporary dancer at Golden City. It’s far from the Capital, where he stays usually. In addition, Huo Chen is not the playboy who would visit an indecent place like Golden City.
And we t. It has not even been 90 days yet we t.
I can’t believe my eyes upon spotting his stunned expression at the seat when I was performing on the stage. Should I reunite with him? Should I say ‘yes’ to his inquiry? Should I just leave imdiately afterwards? Should I play aggressive so I can leave for good?
And I chose to be not Wen He, but Karina. Huo Chen should be able to catch the hint.
I just—I just hope that he gets my word. He would leave alone.
I am tired of all this after all.
