Chapter 136 Headline News





"You won\'t?" she echoed, incredulous.


"I won\'t." His voice was firm.


Lu Shen knew himself. He wouldn\'t cheat on her. Or rather, he couldn\'t. There were no other girl that could make him feel such tumultuous emotions like she did. She was the only one in this world who could make him lose control, who could make him feel as if she was holding him in the palm of her hands. How could he cheat on her when he couldn\'t even find a girl as interesting and as vibrant as her during the past twenty-six years of his life?


Hui Yin didn\'t believe him.


Since her question was already answered in her past life, she didn\'t even know why she bothered to ask him. She picked up her purse and stood up. She said everything she needed to say, so now it was time for her to leave.


"Xiao Yin."


Hui Yin didn\'t pause and continued on walking towards the door. Lu Shen continued sitting in his chair and didn\'t stop her, but his eyes were pitch-black as he gazed at her distant back.


"I won\'t ever let you go."


His voice was a soundless breeze that was little more than a whisper. Hui Yin grabbed the door handle, but stopped. In the end she turned back to gaze at his direction.


Lu Shen didn\'t know it, but today was supposed to be their wedding day. In her past life he had treated her well too, up until after their honeymoon. The next morning he suddenly behaved indifferently towards her, almost like a different person.


Would the same thing happen in this life as well?


Hui Yin shook her head and exited the restaurant.


...


"Boss."


A staccato cough informed Lu Shen that there was someone else beside him.


But he didn\'t say a word. He continued sitting there in a state of abject despondence, as if he was in a bubble wherein the rest of the word had faded away. After Hui Yin had left, Lu Shen spent the entire afternoon by himself inside the restaurant. Since he booked it for the whole day, the restaurant staff didn\'t disturb him.


Unknowingly, night had already fallen.


Error shifted from foot to foot as he waited for the boss to notice him. He had seen everything that had happened between the boss and Miss Hui that afternoon, so he knew that this wasn\'t the right time to bother him.


But he had important news to tell!


Lu Shen lowered his eyes and stared at the unfinished dishes on the table in front of him. She didn\'t even eat the abalone. Was this it then? Her decision left him with no choice but to use unscrupulous means to force her to be with him. Lu Shen didn\'t want to do it at first, but if it was the only way she could be by his side...


Lu Shen bitterly smiled.


Since she already hated him, why not make her hate him more?


"Boss!"


Lu Shen slightly raised his eyes and looked at Error. His somber countenance made Error take a step back, but he had no choice except to deliver the news. He had lost to a rock, paper and scissors game with Silver, so he could only swallow his regret and continue.


"Boss...this arrived in your office by mail a short while ago."


In Error\'s hand was a white business card.


Lu Shen stiffened. He knew who the sender was. It could only be another death threat to his life, but at the moment Lu Shen couldn\'t find it in himself to care. He would discover who the culprit was sooner or later.


Lu Shen took the card from Error and read it.


In a short span of time, like an eraser swooped in and wiped everything blank, all expression on Lu Shen\'s face disappeared. There was a terrifying aura coming off him that made Error tremble and retreat several steps back. Lu Shen crumpled the business card, his knuckles cracking from the force. On the surface he still appeared calm, but his body was shaking and his arms were taut as if he was desperately trying to hold back his rage.


Error didn\'t utter a single pip throughout this. He was even afraid to breathe lest the boss realize that he still existed. He had read what was written on the business card, of course. Both he and Silver did.


It was only a single question.


\'CEO Lu, since you don\'t seem fazed at all by my threats to your life, why don\'t I target the people who are important to you?\'


Lu Shen leaned back on the chair and raised his arm to cover his eyes. He didn\'t want anyone to see his expression right now.


Just as Error\'s legs were beginning to feel numb from standing, Lu Shen spoke in a hoarse voice.


"Du Peng, arrange a flight for me to go back to Beijing. Tell Silver to abandon her present mission for now and prioritize discovering the identity of this bastard. She\'s too conspicuous of a bodyguard to be around Xiao Yin. Replace her with people unrelated to me."


Error was too stupefied to process his words properly. Just a few hours ago, they were trying to make Miss Hui go back to the boss\' side at all costs. Suddenly, all of them were retreating? Could it be...


"Boss, are you trying to make it seem as if Miss Hui isn\'t important to you so she won\'t be targeted?"


Lu Shen didn\'t agree, but he didn\'t disagree either. Finally, Error realized that it was exactly what the boss was trying to do. In the current situation where the enemy could easily trespass into his villa and repeatedly threaten the boss while they were still in the dark about his identity, it was the one solution left available to him.


He could only pretend that Miss Hui was not an important person to him at all.


Two days later after Lu Shen arrived at Beijing, Hui Yin read in the newspaper that another piece of headline news had shocked the whole China.


The CEO and Chairman of the Lu Corporation, Lu Shen, became engaged to the treasured daughter of the powerful Nian family, Nian Zhen.
