Huo Chen leaned against the wall as he watched the dancer, who seemed like Wen He, march away after giving him a brief wave . His hands fell down like his hope .
She is right . If I can’t give her what she wanted, what’s the point of forcing her to stay with me?
Didn’t we have a deal before? Mission accomplished, I get my country saved, she gets the freedom she wanted . Isn’t that it?
And now she treasures her freedom and hides away from the world . Shouldn’t I feel relieved?
But why?
What is this feeling?
Why is there something rattling inside me?
It took a moment before Huo Chen managed to collect his thoughts and calmly exit the building to meet Huo Yunting and the others .
“How was it?” Immediately Lu Zhaoyang asked .
Huo Chen shook his head sluggishly .
“I’ll do it then!” Said Lu Bai, agitated .
“Lu Bai!” Shouted Huo Chen upon the running boy, “Please…give me some time, will you? Just…just leave her alone for the moment . Please . ” He feared that the woman would leave the city for good if she was pressed too much .
Then he would forever lose her .
“…” Lu Bai glared at him for quite some time . He backed off and stayed back in the group despite his eyes showing unwillingness . “Fine . ”
“Thank you . ” And Huo Chen dragged his feet back to his accommodation .
“What’s up with him? Asked Zhaoyang .
“Things only a man in love would understand,” said Huo Yunting as he beamed at Zhaoyang .
“What?”
Huo Chen took out his phone back in his room, as he hit the stairs, and promptly contacted Song Shou, “Song Shou, I order you to perform a thorough investigation on a female dancer of Golden City with the name ‘Karina’ . Anything . Name, educational background, family background, even address, previous addresses . Get them to me as soon as possible . ”
“Copy . ” Song Shou was puzzled by the order but he still started his inspection on the woman . And within a few hours, Huo Chen got a call .
“Sir, I have something here . Apparently this ‘Karina’ girl has an unusual relationship with the owner of Golden City . She seems to be an illegal resident . Also, all the personal information associated with Karina was shown to be somebody else according to the database under Golden City . It took me a while to get her address but she seems to be living inside an apartment near the Sakura route . ”
“Mhm . ” Huo Chen responded approvingly, “That’ll be enough . ” He hung up, treading over an entire floor of cigarette butts as he lit a new one .
I knew it! She’s Wen He after all!
I have never doubted myself on my own judgment .
Well—The tricky part is…should I respect her opinion on this? As in, leaving her alone and let her be Karina . Let her be the free woman she always wanted to be . Let us part ways as if we never met .
At most—probably we would only be saying “hello” or “goodbye” to each other as we coincidentally meet on the street .
But will I be happy with that?
Huo Chen thought as he took a very deep breath, letting the nicotine numb his senses so that his agitation would die down .
Meanwhile, Karina, or we should address her as “Wen He”, was removing makeup from her face .
I know, I know . This is a romance novel and I am bound to be exposed . As long as the soldier man performs an investigation on me, my camouflage would be blown away . That is also why I did not forge an identification . I just took over somebody else’s place instead .
I was going to be discovered anytime anyway . And I thought I was a bit ahead of him for I chose to work as a temporary dancer at Golden City . It’s far from the Capital, where he stays usually . In addition, Huo Chen is not the playboy who would visit an indecent place like Golden City .
And we met . It has not even been 90 days yet we met .
I can’t believe my eyes upon spotting his stunned expression at the seat when I was performing on the stage . Should I reunite with him? Should I say ‘yes’ to his inquiry? Should I just leave immediately afterwards? Should I play aggressive so I can leave for good?
And I chose to be not Wen He, but Karina . Huo Chen should be able to catch the hint .
I just—I just hope that he gets my word . He would leave me alone .
I am tired of all this after all .
