Soothing music plays in the quiet cafe.

Xiao Chu bent down and placed a cup of freshly brewed coffee in front of Lu Qingtang. His dark eyes fell on her face and he smiled slightly. "Have you and that godfather completely broken up?"

Lu Qingtang's clear pupils suddenly showed a hint of murderous intent.

Xiao Chu met her murderous eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth, "I just want to know the answer."

"Please believe me, I have no ill will towards you..."

Lu Qingtang looked at him quietly for a while, "What do you want?"

Xiao Chu smiled and said, "I have no interest in the conflicts within Country H."

This is to tell Lu Qingtang that he will not tell her secret.

“I want that position.”

"...Miss, will you cooperate?"

Lu Qingtang's expression suddenly condensed.

She stared at Xiao Chu, as if evaluating whether his words were true or false.

Xiao Chu looked at her quietly, smiling slightly, "Every child in the Thorne family wants to kill him!"

"In that world, it's not uncommon for sons to kill their fathers, and for fathers to kill their sons."

He stared at Lu Qingtang, his dark eyes like a black hole in the universe, unable to see the bottom. "You want to kill him too, don't you?"

Lu Qingtang naturally wanted to kill the mastermind behind the incident.

Because the other party almost killed her more than 20 years ago!

He almost killed Lu Wensheng, causing her to suffer for more than ten years and leading to a miserable life.

Lu Qingtang stared at Xiao Chu with his dark, bright almond-shaped eyes, a cold glint in his eyes. "Who is he?!"

Xiao Chu's eyes were dark, he smiled, and reported a name.

Lu Qingtang lowered her eyelashes slightly, repeated the name twice in her mind, then stood up with her knife in hand.

This obviously means that he is going to continue to kill Lu Erya——

Xiao Chu looked at it, stood up, and was about to speak when his eyes accidentally swept across and suddenly saw a slender figure standing in the middle of the street outside the gate.

The man was holding an umbrella in his hand and had been standing there for an unknown amount of time. His figure was almost swallowed up by the wind and rain.

As if noticing his gaze, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.

Even at such a distance, those two cold and crazy gazes seemed to pierce into the depths of his soul and torture him to death.

Xiao Chu suddenly laughed, and at the moment when Lu Qingtang was about to turn around, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.

Lu Qingtang's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he was about to push the other person away when Xiao Chu's gentle voice came from behind him, "That fake daughter of the Lu family... I suggest you keep her for the time being!"

Lu Qingtang paused, and his eyes suddenly showed a frightening coldness.

She raised her head and stared at Xiao Chu with murderous eyes, a sweet smile on her lips, "Why? You can't bear to see me kill your sister?!"

Xiao Chu calmly glanced at the dark figure outside the door, then looked down at Lu Qingtang. His cold eyes softened slightly, and he leaned over slightly, whispering into Lu Qingtang's ear, "She is..."

The wind and rain outside the glass window suddenly increased in strength.

A flash of silver-white lightning flashed across, clearly illuminating the shock in Lu Qingtang's eyes.

Lu Qingtang looked at the man in front of him and was about to ask further questions when a lukewarm voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Lu Yo Yo!"

Lu Qingtang turned around when he heard the voice and saw someone standing outside the door.

She opened her eyes slightly, subconsciously broke free from Xiao Chu's grip on her wrist, and walked quickly towards the door.

The glass door was opened, and the cold wind carrying rain and fog rushed in.

Lu Qingtang shuddered suddenly, staring at the person standing in the rain with wide eyes, his expression shocked and surprised, "Why are you here?"

Ning Yan's gaze fell on her face, his eyes filled with deep restraint and repression, his expression cold, "You stayed up in the middle of the night just to come out and see him?!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Chu who was walking out behind Lu Qingtang, and his tone revealed a sense of crisis that was about to break out.

Lu Qingtang shuddered at his voice and said subconsciously, "No, I came out..."

She glanced at the knife in her hand and didn't dare to say that she was out to kill people. She just hid the knife behind her and whispered, "Looking for the Lu family..."

Ning Yan stared at her for a long time, and after making sure that there was no guilty look on Lu Qingtang's face, the aura that made people feel uneasy suddenly disappeared from her body.

He laughed, his voice returning to his usual elegant and calm tone, "Your little husband is very worried about you...why don't you come over soon?"

Lu Qingtang blinked and immediately realized why Ning Yan came here.

She laughed happily and ran towards Ning Yan.

Ning Yan tilted the umbrella in her hand slightly to cover her, leaned over slightly, stared into Lu Qingtang's eyes, and chuckled, "Next time you dare to run out to meet a strange man in the middle of the night... Be careful that your little husband will get angry and ignore you!"

Lu Qingtang pouted unhappily. Seeing that half of Ning Yan's shoulder was outside the umbrella, she subconsciously reached out and pulled him closer. "No, I'm not. I just came out..."

After a pause, she explained, "Anyway, I only like my little husband and I won't like other men!"

When Ning Yan heard her words, his expression returned to normal. He took Lu Qingtang's hand and turned to leave with her.

Behind him, Xiao Chu stood on the steps, watching the two figures standing side by side, gradually walking away in the dark rainy night.

Under the seven-color rainbow umbrella, the little girl looked up at the man beside her with clear eyes. She muttered something to him, and the smile on her face was sweet and lively.

This scene...

It was as if she had strayed into this world that was incompatible with her, and finally returned to the soil that suited her...

Xiao Chu glanced at the big black umbrella in his hand that he had not given away, and slowly lowered his eyelashes.

-

Lu Qingtang was led by Ning Yan back to the car.

Although I failed to kill Lu Erya, it was not a complete failure tonight.

Lu Qingtang pondered the name Xiao Chu had told her, trying to figure out where she had met that man before...

There was wind and rain outside the car window.

In the warm and narrow carriage, Lu Qingtang lowered his eyes slightly, and as he thought, he gradually fell asleep leaning on Ning Yan's shoulder.

Ning Yan waited until she fell asleep before moving her into his arms.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Lu Qingtang's hair. Finally, he lowered his head and kissed her secretly.

He looked at the sweet and innocent sleeping face, sneered, but his voice was gentle, "Remember, if you provoke me in this life, you can never provoke other men again, otherwise..."

In the darkness, a flash of madness and cruelty flashed across the man's clear peach blossom eyes.
