I’m Not Afraid

Shadow Winds Headquarters.

"Do you want me to carry you?" Lu Zihao asked his woman who almost wrapped herself around his side like a koala by how tightly she was clinging to him. 

Long Jinjing pouted at him but didn't speak as she continued looking around the place. The fear, nervousness and confusion were still obvious in her expression but she also appeared increasingly curious. 

Lu Zihao could feel the sweat from her palms and the trembling of her body. Her reaction was just as he expected. Actually, he expected much worse, like slapping his face and storming out of the headquarters and out of his life, or perhaps even reporting him to the police. The fact that she was still willing to enter deeper inside this place despite shaking like a leaf gave him hope that maybe this might all work out after all.
