Chapter 357: You Changed!!!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“No, I’m not going anywhere! I would never be like this if I did not come to you in the first place,” she looked at her wound, “If I never came to this cursed city, why would I meet Huo Chen again?” Said Wen He as she thought back to the incident before. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to kill those drug dealers in the bar.
I was just minding my own business at the bar. You know, drinking wine, drinking free wine from sausages around, caressing and flirting with pretty boys who fell for me. I just headed out for a phone call and Huo Chen just has to be there!
“Therefore, you are obliged to take care of me till I have completely recovered.” She frowned as she touched her wound, “Ow ow oww…”
“Well, I don’t agree. You were dead before Huo Chen in the past and days ago you decided to show up in his life again. You are meant to be a goner.” He sneered, “Are you sure you’re helping me out if you stay?”
“Bai, you changed! Oh my poor heart, our boy has changed!”
She pounded her chest in agony as she could not believe that the once-innocent boy had turned heartless.
“Yeah, yeah, join Hollywood or something. I won’t fall for that again,” muttered Lu Bai as he continued digging in. The sharp IMDb comment from Movie Critic Lu set the actress in complete silence.
She bit her lips in awkwardness.
“Don’t you remember what happened back then?” She slammed the table, shouting, “It was an emergency! I have to take you out! Yes, I might have fooled you before! Boss is indeed dead, but you would have joined him if I never tugged you out of the grave! It’s actually Boss’s plan—to ensure your safety! Blame him if you want to, but please stop blaming me for we are both are the only survivors now! What’s the point?”
The organization was entirely wiped out back then. Someone had to remain to live the spirit! She knew the boy would hate her for what she did. She knew the boy would rather be dead with his father than being all alone in this world!
She also knew that she faked her death by jumping out of the car before it blew up and sank in front of Huo Chen. Thanks to the ocean, Huo Chen could not trace her any further. But fate just had to be so capricious.
Wen He shook the moment she reminisced the very second their eyes crossed at the bar again.
Lu Bai was quiet. Only the clink of chopsticks could be heard.
“Well, Bai. If you don’t want me here, I’ll go then. Go ahead, let me rot out there. Go ahead, let me be frozen to death. Me, I’m just your father’s a.s.sistant, what do I know? Go ahead, let me join Boss below. I deserve it for not taking care of you, for being so foolish letting Huo Chen get me.”
Wen He placed down her chopsticks and swiftly pulled out a sheet of tissue paper from nearby, wiping invisible tears at her eyes’ corners while sniffing dramatically.
“There’s only one bed here,” said Lu Bai upon seeing her getting up.
“It’s okay! You can sleep on the couch!” And she sank back into the chair, giggling as she picked up her chopsticks again, “I knew our boy is a kind fellow who wouldn’t let his caretaker sleep on the street.”
“I’m still a man, a gentleman after all. Leave this house the moment you have recovered.”
Guess I’ll take the couch tonight.
Thought Lu Bai.

*Ding-dong*
Right after Zhaoyang changed into her pajamas, the doorbell rang.
And there Huo Yunting came in with wide steps the moment she opened the door.
The big man actually had plans that night and did not intend to visit her but knowing that Huo Chen was in the city, he somehow felt discomfort without joining her for the night.
Lu Zhaoyang locked the door again as she observed her man stripping as he walked towards the room.
She replaced the shoes at the porch and followed after, only to see him heading straight into the bathroom.
“Good night.”
“Well, sleep now if you want to wake up later.”
“…” Lu Zhaoyang scowled as she laid on her bed with her eyes closed, waiting for the man to hop on and sleep. Nevertheless, it felt like Huo Yunting was taking forever in the bathroom, that she nearly fell asleep hearing the water streaming.
She actually did the moment Huo Yunting exited with only a towel over his lower torso.
He switched off the lights and snuggled with her, holding her in his embrace.
He was surprised that he managed to keep his libido under control and did nothing.
Man I’m so proud of myself.
