4144: Mian, It's Mom (14)

Mian, It's Mom (14)

Nalo went silent and continued to sip tea.1

They didn't speak for three minutes and the air seemed to have frozen…

Finally, Nalo finished his tea. He stood up slowly and said, "Thank you for telling me this. It's time to go."

Qin Chu stood up, too.

"I paid for the tea. Thank you." The moment Nalo turned, he heard Qin Chu say, "We won't meet again."

Yeah, he didn't want to see any of these people again, Ian or Nalo. 

Ian kept chasing after Lu Yan but Nalo had never shown any enmity toward them, but still, Qin Chu didn't want to see any of them again.

As they walked to the door, Nalo thought of something.

He looked back at Qin Chu.

"Is Lu Yan dead?"

"I don't know." Qin Chu told him the truth.

"It would be a shame if she died. But the rumors say that if she doesn't show up soon, her organization and base would disintegrate."

Before he left, Nalo told him this either as a warning or a reminder.

Qin Chu was frustrated. With his own problem unsolved, he didn't have energy to search for Lu Yan. 

After Lu Yan's disappearance, the professor was out of touch, too. Qiao Fei went to search for Lu Yan but hadn't sent back any information.

The rumors from both the white and black societies all said Lu Yan had died.

Countless people, including her subordinates, her connections, her clients, and her enemies, were all waiting for news about her. If she died, there would be a great commotion in the mercenary world. After all, the young demon had been the No. 1 mercenary for a long time.

On his way back home, Qin Chu felt uneasy; in fact, he didn't want to return home as eagerly as before.

He could feel his repulsion of Huo Mian growing stronger.

He hadn't wanted to touch her from the beginning, and now he didn't even want to see her.

He wondered why.

Was it because he was displeased that Huo Mian sacrificed their baby to save Su Yu?

No, that wasn't the reason. Yeah, he was sad that their baby was gone, but he wasn't so narrow-minded that he'd blame Huo Mian because of Su Yu.

In South Hill Manor.

Qin Chu went into the main bedroom. Watching Huo Mian in deep sleep with unreadable eyes for a moment, he turned.

"Hon…"

Huo Mian sat up suddenly and looked Qin Chu in the eye.

"You're awake?"

"I had a bad dream… I dreamed of lots of blood and… that explosion…"

"It's all in the past, Mian."

"Hon, please don't go to the study. Please stay with me, okay?"

Huo Mian had tears in her eyes as she looked at him beseechingly.

The look in her eyes was pitiable and hard to refuse.

But Qin Chu stood where he was, looking untouched.

"Hon… You… don't love me anymore?"

Huo Mian's words caught him by surprise.

"Why did you ask?" Qin Chu sounded hoarse as he looked at Huo Mian in the darkness.

"You've been avoiding me ever since we came back from Yunnan… Don't think I don't know it… Are you angry with me because I lost our baby?"

Qin Chu remained silent…

"You think in my heart Su Yu is more important to me than you and the baby, right?" Huo Mian demanded in an aggressive voice.
