Chapter 9 : Still Love (3)

On the top floor of Tian Yi Entertainment, there was a man sitting on his black leather armchair looking at the screen of his phone. His eyes were constricted to see the woman in the screen whose legs were full of blisters after her long walk.The woman didn't shed any tears, but her lifeless figure hurt him so much that he couldn't breathe well.

It had been more than eight hours since she walked out from the building. She kept on walking without any directions. Occasionally, she would bump at others. She even didn't pay attention to the roads that she had almost been hit by cars if not the bodyguards that he sent protecting her in secret.

"Why do you torture yourself if you still love her? Why do you hurt her if you really love her?" Mo Yan sighed looking at his friend focusing on his phone.

Mo Yan who had been notified that Qian Luo had come to Tian Yi by his people rushed to his beloved friend as soon as possible. He knew that Qian Luo was the only woman that came into Lu Jinnian's life and the only woman that had lived in his heart since then.

There was a saying that 'The most hurtful thing in this world is not hated by the person you love, but you mustn't love that person even you both are in love.' and that saying described Lu Jinnian's love story very well.

Mo Yan knew it well that Lu Jinnian still loved Qian Luo after he found out that she was the daughter of his enemy as Lu Jinnian called him anxiously seven years ago to ask him to deploy his best men to guard her after he had destroyed her world, hurt her pride as a woman, and forced her to leave him.

For these seven years, his men would send Qian Luo's photos everyday to Lu Jinnian, updating her daily life. He even knew that Qian was her pen name, and he also knew that Su Yi Cheng had been looking after her.

"Mo Yan..." Lu Jinnian called him gently. "I don't think that I can keep on going."

Mo Yan knew that he would say so, thus he rushed to accompany him, feared that Lu Jinnian would do something stupid. After all, which man would be able to see the woman he loved hurt and the person who hurt her was he himself?

"Jinnian, don't forget what I told you seven years ago! The moment you stop breathing, I won't let my men to protect her any longer. If you want to make sure she lives well, then you must live well, too."

Mo Yan had always threatened him for these seven years and Lu Jinnian would always give in. However, this time, Mo Yan wasn't sure if this threat would work or not.

Hearing what Mo Yan said, Lu Jinnian turned himself to look at the neon lights of the city through the floor-to-ceiling window. Again, the room fell to eternal silent.

Lu Jinnian clearly knew that 'The Thieves' was Qian Luo's script, but he still accepted the offer for Tang Wei. He always personally checked Tang Wei's offers, thus he had read her work as well. Not only 'The Thieves', he actually had collected all her novels since her first book.

In the afternoon, when he finally saw her in person, he had tried to control himself, alas he failed. He rushed to her and kissed her like there was no tomorrow. He missed her, missed her so much.

When she struggled, he kissed her more intense. He even did stuff that he shouldn't have done. He finally got back to his sense when she moaned gently. He couldn't help but insulted her one more time. He hurt her again.

Because.. he was too afraid to lose his control whenever he had nightmare of her father like what he did seven years and three months ago, almost choking her to death.

He got no choice except of letting her go. However, he underestimated her love toward him. She didn't blame him for choking her, yet staying by his side after that horrible moment.

Therefore, he deliberately brought a woman that he met at a bar to a booked room. When she came in, he deliberately acted passionate with that woman. He even deliberately broke up with her on the spot.

However, she didn't give up.

After that day, she had been following him. He also knew that she had done all her best to make him notice her. She deliberately fell down while walking which almost made him rush to her. She was even deliberately absent for days which made him ask Mo Yan to check in secret about her condition. Who knew that she would even suddenly stop him after the class and seduced him?

At that time, he really couldn't control himself. He really wished to devour her wholly. He fell to her trap. "Lu Jinnian, you still love me, right? If not, you wouldn't want me, right?" He got back to his sense when he heard her questions. 'No, I shouldn't keep her by my side or I might kill her accidentally'.

Then, he did what he shouldn't have done, he said what he shouldn't have said. However, only he knew that he answered her questions everynight. "Yes, I still love you and will always love you."
