Chapter 985 - Have a Woman Now?
Chapter 985: Have a Woman Now?
She had only just started relaxing slightly. After wiping her tears, Chu Xun was certain she didn’t imagine things. She was 100% sure someone was outside…
Chu Xun’s heart raised to her throat. She subconsciously grabbed her bag, wanting to run away. However, she was on the fourth floor, and it wasn’t like she was filming a movie. Chu Xun didn’t have the courage to jump down from the windows, for she surely wouldn’t survive the jump.
Chu Xun heard the door open easily. Sitting on the sofa, she reached into her bag and grabbed her gun, feeling so nervous that her temples kept throbbing…
After hanging up the call with Lu Jinnan, Chu Xun seemed to have fallen into an endless circle that pushed her to exhaustion. It was merely a few hours, but she was already fatigued both mentally and physically.
Seeing a tall and broad man enter, Chu Xun’s body tensed up as she raised the gun and pointed it at the door.
But the person who entered had a gun too. It was a tall and burly black man.
Chu Xun gritted her teeth and restrained her panicked feelings. She got her spirits up and forced herself to calm down. “If you want money, I can give it all to you. Leave after taking the money. Else, you have a gun, and I have one too. No one knows for sure who will die between the two of us!”
Chu Xun then tossed her wallet at the man’s feet. “The money’s inside. Take it and go!”
The man looked at Chu Xun, whose hands were quivering while holding the gun, and smiled, revealing his teeth. He bent over and picked up the wallet on the floor, stuffing it into his pocket!
Chu Xun’s pupils quivered. She stood up while still holding the gun with both hands. “Take the money and leave me the wallet!”
The man fired a shot at the sofa. Chu Xun screamed and dodged away. By the time she regained her composure, the black man was already gone…
Some of the motel guests heard the scream and ran out to ask the motel owner about the earlier gunshot. But the owner didn’t think of it as something unusual, simply asking everyone to go back and rest.
After the man left, Chu Xun could no longer stay at the motel with peace of mind. She wiped her tears and grabbed her bag, then ran out of the motel in a panic!
But once she left the motel and went onto the empty streets, Chu Xun felt even more scared.
She looked around. The cold wind blowing at her made her shiver. Chu Xun really had no idea where to go this late at night, plus she had no money on her right now… Especially in a place like the US, where it was legal to own guns, there was nearly no one at all on the streets at night, except for a couple of drug addicts and hooligans.
Wearing the hotel’s bathrobe while walking down the street, there was already someone whistling at her…
Chu Xun felt more and more afraid. She turned around, wanting to return to the motel, but by the time she reached the entrance, she found that the motel had locked its metal door.
Chu Xun slapped hard on the door, wanting to enter, but as her hands made a clanking sound with the metal door, no one came to open it. Instead, it attracted the attention of some hooligans. Chu Xun gritted her teeth and wrapped herself firmly with her bathrobe before leaving.
It was a great big world, yet Chu Xun had no idea where she should go. Wandering the streets of America in a pair of slippers, she felt as if she had descended into hell. She wanted to call home, but she didn’t even have her phone with her!
In all the years she had existed, Chu Xun had never felt so much despair before!
She was tired and hungry, but there wasn’t anything she could eat, and neither did she dare to sleep. She could only squat in a corner in the dark, hugging her bag to her chest, tears slipping down non-stop.
A black car stopped at the turn of the street for a short while before leaving. A photo of Chu Xun hugging her knees to her chest while kneeling in a street corner was sent to Saihand’s phone.
Saihand handed the phone to show Cen Mo. Cen Mo, who was browsing through a parenting book, briefly looked at it, seeming not to really care. “Continue…”
This was only the start. Cen Mo planned to let Chu Xun experience all the darkest, coldest, and filthiest things in the world. Else, how could he make her live up to the spectacular life she once scripted for herself!
Hatred was still in Cen Mo’s heart, and it hadn’t dissipated by a bit. Perhaps Cen Mo’s anger would be appeased when Chu Xun experienced all the filth in the world and died.
But now, Cen Mo had Song Yao and their child to take care of.
He wanted to spend his time on his lover, on things he liked!
Or else, if he were to waste his limited time on someone like that, it’d be too good a deal for that b*tch Chu Xun!
He only needed to know that she was in a terrible state, unable to break free from hell until she died—that would be enough!
It was seven in the morning in Morocco now, the most wonderful time of the day.
Taking the chance before Song Yao got up, Cen Mo sat under the sunshine and browsed through a parenting book. Saihand said in a low voice by Cen Mo’s ear, “Sir… the child isn’t even born yet. Isn’t it a little too early to be reading this now?”
“It’s not early. In the blink of an eye, the child will be born, and in the blink of an eye, he’ll grow up…” Cen Mo smiled.
Back when he returned to the Lu family, in the blink of an eye, Lu Xiangsi had blossomed into a fine young lady. In the blink of an eye, he went overseas, and in the blink of an eye, after he returned home, Lu Xiangsi was no longer around.
He no longer had the opportunity to tell Lu Xiangsi that he was actually most fond of her, his younger sister! That he liked her even more so than their parents and grandparents!
Lu Xiangsi was the one who accompanied him the most in the entire family. Only Lu Xiangsi would chatter non-stop around him all day long, expressing her fondness for him without reservations.
Lin Nuan was right—nobody knew which would come first between an accident and tomorrow. He didn’t want to repeat Lu Xiangsi’s tragedy, to be left with regrets and pain when he no longer had the opportunity!
He wanted to love people around him while he was able to!
Song Yao, their child, Tuan Tuan…
Cen Mo thought of Lin Nuan for some reason, and he smiled. Perhaps because he knew Lin Nuan had once accompanied Lu Xiangsi!
Or perhaps because Lin Nuan saved Tuan Tuan’s life and was now Tuan Tuan’s mother!
Or maybe… because Lin Nuan and Lu Xiangsi both had beautiful and clean large eyes, looking as if they were the purest in the world!
Or maybe… because Lin Nuan was the younger sister of his good friend Lin Chen!
Hence, Cen Mo also wanted to regard Lin Nuan as his younger sister!
Cen Mo laughed, then lowered his head and looked at the book in his hands…
Seeing Cen Mo laugh, although Saihand had no idea why he was laughing, he felt that the evil-foreboding air that Cen Mo had been trying to restrain seemed to have lessened. Saihand also smiled. Nabbing the opportunity since Cen Mo was in a good mood, he bent over and said to Cen Mo, “Sir, I’d like to take a few hours of leave today!”
“To do what?” Cen Mo continued reading his book, asking without looking up.
Saihand thought for a minute, then said, “Private matter!”
Private matter?
Cen Mo paused in surprise and turned around to look at Saihand…
Since when did even Saihand have secrets?
Seeing Saihand’s cautious and embarrassed manner as he dodged his gaze, Cen Mo asked with a hint of a smile, “Have a woman now?”
