Chapter 185: Falling In Love Was Fatal
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Let me send you.” Zhuo Wuyou’s voice was still cold, but it was also filled with disappointment.
However, at this moment, Xu Qing’s mind was filled with thoughts of Qiao Yanhui and the children. How could she notice anything else? She could imagine Qiao Yanhui’s current state, so she was even more worried…
Zhuo Wuyou looked at Xu Qing, who couldn’t wait to leave, and his expression darkened. Did she really not feel anything for him at all? Didn’t she realize that this place was very familiar? This place was designed exactly the same as Xu Qing’s room, and even the size was identical.
Zhuo Wuyou lowered his eyes and turned around to pick Xu Qing up gently. Xu Qing exclaimed and was about to say something when she heard Zhuo Wuyou say in a low voice, “Don’t move. This way, you won’t tug your wound. I didn’t take care of you so carefully in the past few days for you to hurt your body like this.”
As Xu Qing looked at his masked face and his eyes at such a close distance, for some reason, she suddenly felt at ease. She thought, this man had probably given up long ago, right? With this in mind, Xu Qing reached out and wrapped her hands around Zhuo Wuyou’s neck to prevent herself from falling.
The moment Xu Qing wrapped her hands around Zhuo Wuyou’s neck, Zhuo Wuyou’s entire body stiffened. He had never been so nervous. He froze, which made Xu Qing look at him in confusion.
Zhuo Wuyou took two deep breaths as he looked at the puzzled Xu Qing. What should he do with her? He wanted to never let go of her for the rest of his life, but he was afraid of hurting her and didn’t want her to be sad!
This made Zhuo Wuyou feel a sense of self-mockery. He never expected himself to actually become so hesitant one day. As expected, falling in love was weakness. Falling in love was fatal.
Just as Zhuo Wuyou went out the door, he saw Lu Yao kneeling at the door with a resolute expression on her pale face.
Xu Qing was a little puzzled. She remembered this person as someone who had always been very loyal to Zhuo Wuyou. Why was he suddenly kneeling here? Could it be that he had done something wrong?
When Lu Yao heard the door open, she instantly looked up. However, the moment she looked up, she saw Zhuo Wuyou hugging Xu Qing. Her expression instantly stiffened, but she quickly lowered her head and begged, “Master, please don’t make me leave!”
“Get lost!” Zhuo Wuyou’s cold tone pierced Lu Yao’s heart like a knife.
However, Lu Yao continued kneeling with a stubborn expression and kowtowed heavily on the ground, making thumping sounds. After a few times, the ground was covered in blood, but she didn’t care at all and shouted, “Master, please fulfill my wish!”
Xu Qing’s heart softened. She found out that Lu Yao was actually a beautiful woman on the night of the assassination. If she kowtowed like this, wouldn’t her face be disfigured? However…
Xu Qing looked at Zhuo Wuyou hesitantly. She knew that he had always been a cold and heartless man, so it was impossible for him to let his subordinates go against his wishes. As an outsider, it was really inappropriate for her to interfere in this.
Zhuo Wuyou strode past Lu Yao without stopping.
Lu Yao crawled in front of Zhuo Wuyou in a panic and looked at him pleadingly, hoping to obtain some pity from him.
Zhuo Wuyou didn’t even look at Lu Yao. However, Xu Qing could see everything clearly.
Seeing that Zhuo Wuyou was unperturbed, Lu Yao knew that she was at her wit’s end. If she couldn’t get Zhuo Wuyou’s forgiveness today, it would be difficult for her to see him again! She could only look at Xu Qing pleadingly. Even though she didn’t want to beg Xu Qing at all, in order to continue staying by Zhuo Wuyou’s side, she was willing to forsake her pride! This time, she would definitely do her duty as a subordinate and definitely wouldn’t have any more selfish motives. It was enough as long as she could see him. She should not ask for more.
“Wuyou, she risked her life to save us that day. Now that she’s injured… Can’t we keep her by our side? She’s very loyal to you…” Xu Qing finally couldn’t help but speak up. Lu Yao’s gaze was really too moving, as if if she was rejected, she could only seek death.
Xu Qing rarely called Zhuo Wuyou by his name. After all, she didn’t think the two of them were that intimate.
But now, this address of “Wuyou” melted Zhuo Wuyou’s ice-cold heart. Finally, he said to Lu Yao in a cold tone, “Recuperate.”
This surprised Lu Yao. Even after Zhuo Wuyou’s figure completely disappeared, Lu Yao still knelt there with a complicated expression.
