He loved this woman, and he couldn’t bear letting her live undercover .
“Zhengyu…”
Madam wanted to continue, but Lu Zhengyu didn’t allow her to .
“Let her have some rest in her room!”
Madam Yu’s shoulders loosened helplessly, and disappointment was written all over her face .
She always thought of herself as the main reason that caused such chaos to ensue .
She wanted to ease the situation, but Lu Zhengyu had his men looking over her 24/7 .
Even when she went to the washroom, there were guards right outside the door, making it impossible to send any information to Lu Zhanbei .
Lu Zhengyu’s expression was dark .
Right now, there was no more turning back .
It had been five days since Old Master Lin went missing .
Lin Wanwan was like an ant on a hot pan . In just a few days, she had visibly lost quite some weight .
During this time, Ruan Baoer and Shen Zhiyi paid her visits now and then .
She behaved like her usual self before them, but they knew how worried she was .
Lu Zhanbei watched as Lin Wanwan lost her shape, and it hurt him to see her forced smile . This time, there was nothing he could do .
Lu Zhengyu’s hiding was a clear indication that he had no choice but to make a decision .
If Lin Wanwan’s grandpa died in the hands of Lu Zhengyu, there would be an everlasting scar in their relationship .
Another day had passed in the blink of an eye .
“Madam, where are you going?” came Butler Ying’s voice .
Lu Zhanbei rushed to open the door and saw Lin Wanwan, who was as pale as chalk . Her eyes were dull as she walked in like a living dead .
Lin Wanwan glanced at him; his eyes were shadowed, and he hadn’t shaved for days . It was obvious how hard he tried .
“I…” She opened her mouth, but her dry throat was stingingly painful .
Lu Zhanbei walked her to the bedroom and poured her a glass of honey water .
“Don’t hurt your throat . ”
Lin Wanwan took a sip without a word .
Silence filled the room for a while before Lu Zhanbei stood up .
“Have some rest . I’ll continue . ”
Lin Wanwan looked up, and she saw a hint of panic .
“Lu Zhanbei . ” Her lips opened slightly .
Lu Zhanbei froze, his fist held tight and his lips curved into an ugly arc .
“I know you’ve tried your best . If… we can’t escape failure, I don’t blame you . ”
She knew that Lu Zhanbei was more stressed out than she was .
Lu Zhanbei didn’t turn around . A man who feared nothing didn’t dare to look her in the eyes .
He’d rather Lin Wanwan scold him and blame it all on him than feel the guilt .
“Sorry . ”
Lu Zhanbei stepped out .
He would not give up until the last second .
When he left, the tears in Lin Wanwan’s eyes finally found its way out .
Whenever she thought of the pain that Grandpa was going through, her heart ached so much .
What does she do…
Lu Zhanbei heard waves of sobbing from behind, and it hurt him like someone was gripping his heart .
He wanted to run in, but he knew that he had no right to comfort her . It was better to let her cry her sorrow out than make her put on a fake face again .
Lu Zhengyu broke the beautiful life he had fought for .
If the old man’s love mattered so much, what about Lu Zhanbei’s?
Why did it have to be like this?
