Chapter 82: (Part 1)
Lu Anwei never expected his actions would cause such great distress to Qin Shuhan and also felt very remorseful. This was his fault. He will never come and disrupt her life anymore; it was due to his own selfishness and wilfulness……
“Do you love me?” Qin Shuhan knew that the best way to deal with this blockhead was to ask directly, any other superfluous words were unnecessary.
“Yes.” Lu Anwei did not hold back and told her directly.
Hearing this word personally, Qin Shuhan’s tears that she tried so hard to suppress, was going to burst again. Only this time it was not because she felt wronged but because she felt deeply moved, “Then…… Then why didn’t you tell me?”
“I said it before.” Lu Anwei felt a little aggrieved. He has already said it many times before ah! But Qin Shuhan’s always expressed her refusal very straightforwardly ah.
“……” Qin Shuhan could not help frowning, “Clearly, you have never said it!” It was because he did not say it clearly, making her sad and unhappy by herself for such a long period of time ah! She is even pregnant with their child…… Qin Shuhan could not help feeling wronged.
“Forget it……” Lu Anwei felt that all these were not important now. Anyway, he will not disrupt her life again in the future.
“Forget it? That’s it?” Qin Shuhan glared at Lu Anwei. The innumerous tears that she had shed for this matter, how was it that she got his single phase of ‘forget it’ in return……?
“You……” Lu Anwei lowered his head. Realising that Qin Shuhan was actually bare-footed, he could not help but frown and carried Qin Shuhan up by her waist. “Why are you not wearing shoes?”
Qin Shuhan who was originally still very mad, blushed and buried her head into Lu Anwei’s neck. She whispered, “I forgot……” What the heck…… This man is simply playing foul!
“I’ll take you home!” In any case, Lu Anwei did not want Qin Shuhan to walk home bare-footed. There were many gravels on this road. What if she gets hurt? Even if he was being hated, he still wanted to take her home personally. Only in this way, could he feel at ease.
“Mm……” Qin Shuhan leaned into Lu Anwei’s embrace, feeling incomparably safe within. This embrace. She has really anticipated it for too long. Waited for too long.
Carrying Qin Shuhan into the elevator, Lu Anwei pressed the button for the 23rdfloor with one hand.
“Anwei…… Can I ask you…… If… I’m saying… If that time we…. That time we accidentally… accidentally have a child… What should I do?” Qin Shuhan carefully asked as she leaned against Lu Anwei’s shoulders. Internally, she was guessing Lu Anwei’s reaction. He would definitely be ecstatic to suddenly learn that he was going to be a father, right?
If she was pregnant… Li Anwei’s mind could not help thinking of Geng Zheng and Qiao Ying. How was Qiao Ying supposed to live now that Geng Zheng has passed away in the line of duty? How was she going to bring up her child alone? Lu Anwei simply did not dare to think about it… If Qin Shuhan bore his child… He would probably be so elated that he could jump over the moon… But what if he died? How could he bear to cruelly leave both mother and child? The more Lu Anwei thought about it, the more tangled up his mind was.
“Yes ah! What if I’m pregnant?” Qin Shuhan has been leaning against Lu Anwei’s shoulder and did not notice the abnormalities in his expression.
“Ding” The elevator sounded indicating the arrival of the 23rdfloor. Lu Anwei replied, “If you are pregnant, it is best to abort it as soon as possible……”
Qin Shuhan never expected that she would get such a reply. This made her feel sadder and ten thousand times more pained than Lu Anwei telling her that he did not love her!
The child that was infinitely precious to her, how could Lu Anwei… How could he ask her to abort it so easily?
After sending Qin Shuhan to the front door of her house, Lu Anwei lowered his head and told Qin Shuhan, “I’m leaving… I… I won’t bother you anymore.” After saying that, he engraved the figure of Qin Shuhan in his mind and strode away.
……
Qin Shuhan did not know how she entered the door, nor did she remember how she got back to her room… When she came to realisation, she was already lying flat on her soft bed and the entire pillow cover was soaked.
“So… He really doesn’t love me…” After saying this sentence, Qin Shuhan closed her eyes in near despair. Today she has completely stopped all her delusions. As it turned out, he did not love her. That was why he could say such cruel words with such ease…
Caressing her flat stomach, Qin Shuhan murmured, “Baby, mummy will bring up you by herself. You must grow up healthily oh… No matter how many people oppose, I will give birth to you. You are a gift to me from God! You are mummy’s precious baby… I’m so sorry… I could not give you a daddy, could not give you a complete family… but you must believe that mummy will love you several times more, along with your father’s share! Your father, he…” Qin Shuhan choked and said, “It’s not that he doesn’t love you, just that he doesn’t love me…” Qin Shuhan cried painfully unable to continue speaking. After a long while, Qin Shuhan started to murmur again, “Sorry baby. Mummy knows that crying will have a bad effect on you… but… but mummy really could not help it. Please… Forgive mummy this time… This is absolutely the last time mummy will shed tears! Please… Forgive mummy…”

Chapter 82: (Part 2)
At the same time, Lu Anwei’s phone rang. Seeing the digits registered on the phone, Lu Anwei’s expression turned solemn. Picking up the phone, Lu Anwei asked in a low voice, “What’s up?”
“Mission. I need you to lead a team!” The other party just gave the details concisely. “The mission this time is a S- level mission. Please be well-prepared for it.”
“….” Initially Lu Anwei wanted to refuse, but agreed after recalling Qin Shuhan, “Got it! I am willing to go on the mission but as I’m also on security detail now in S city, I need you to find someone reliable to replace me.”
“S city?” The other party thought for a moment before answering, “There is an extremely outstanding team member in S city right now. I’ll send his details to your phone and let him know now that you will be meeting him an hour later! I’ll send someone over to pick you up at 9AM tomorrow.”
“Okay. Got it.” Lu Anwei replied. He looked back in the direction of Qin Shuhan’s house. The farewell this time may be for a lifetime. I’m wishing her much happiness……
……
Concurrently, in a debauched and corrupted environment of a bar downtown of S city, the bodies of young men and women were tipsy swaying on the dance floor, their expression dazed and confused as though they were enjoying the present mood. In a luxurious private room of this bar, two groups of people were conducting some kind of illegal transaction.
“Not bad. It’s authentic.” The male standing at the table licked the white powder on his fingertips clean. He then said to the person seated on the sofa, “The purity is very high!:
“How is it? Goods from me, the Xue family’s third young master, are the best in the entire S city!” The fat man who was called Third Xue was in his forties and dressed in an unbuttoned loud jacket. A gold chain hung around his neck. At this moment, he seemed pleased with himself, “I wonder if it is to Boss Du’s satisfaction?”
“Hng.” The man who was known as Boss Du appeared to be younger than 30 years of age. He wore a white suit and had a slender figure. He had beautiful feminine facial features. His pair of eyes was penetrating as though he could see through one’s thoughts. At this moment, he sneered and gestured to his underling who was next to him with his finger.
That underling nodded and placed a black suitcase on the table.
“HAHAHAHA!” Third Xue started laughing heartily after seeing the suitcase, “Boss Du is indeed a straightforward person ah!” After saying that, he opened the suitcase impatiently. However, after opening the suitcase, the expression on Third Xue turned ugly. The suitcase, which was supposed to be filled with red banknotes, was instead filled with joss paper. Slamming the table, he reached for an item at this waist, “Damn it! You dare to play with me!”
Unfortunately, before he could take it out, a ‘swoosh’ sounded and a bloody hole appeared in the skull of Third Xue. Boss Du who was wearing a white suit, puffed on a cigarette, “Fitting on a muffler makes it so convenient ah!”
The underlings were all muddled after seeing their own family’s big boss being killed, however before they could react, all of them were silenced.
“Let’s go!” Boss Du took the lead and got up first. His black- suited underlings standing behind him picked up the goods that they just received today. The man who tested the goods shook his head and placed Boss’ business card on Third Xue’s forehead covering the unsightly bloody hole. After doing this, the man quickened his footsteps to keep up with his Boss. Signing off after killing someone has always been the signature of Boss Du.
After approximately half an hour, the door was pushed open once more. Seeing an entire room filled with corpses, the person who came could not help cursing, “Damn it! Late again!” He entered the room and stretched out his hand to take the business card on Third Xue’s forehead. The man then placed the business card into his pocket and also left. Not long after, his phone rang displaying an unfamiliar number. When the man picked up the phone, his tone was very guarded, “Hello?”
“Number 77436?” The other party asked.
“Speaking.” The man responded and guessed, “You must be the one who wanted me to take over the security detail.” He has already received the organisation’s phone call an hour ago.
“That’s right!”
“Who would I be protecting?” The man asked.
“Lu Anran!” The other party replied firmly.
“Who?” The man was noticeably shocked. “Lu Anran? That Lu Anran from Lu Food and Beverages Corporation?” This little mushroom really makes others worry ah!
“Yes!” The other party answered and said, “The protection task will be handed over from 8AM tomorrow morning.”
“Got it.” The man replied and hung up. Sighing, he went around in a few circles before turning into another private room where some of his friends whom he usually played around with were waiting for him.
“Why did you take so long?” One of his friends seemed to be a little discontented, “You pissed blood ah!”
“Can’t you talk properly?” The man was a little embarrassed. Who pissed blood ah!
“Young Master Xue, quickly accept your penalty of three drinks!” Another friend said.
“No. I still have something to do. I’m leaving first.” The man refused. He has an assignment tomorrow so he cannot drink today.
“Xue Dingan! You are really disappointing!” Another friend also started to grumble. “You were the one who clearly called us all out!”
“Sorry everyone, something came up unexpectedly. Bye bye!” After saying that, he took his jacket and left straightaway.
