บท 170: He Won’t Notice A Thing

This was the only way to resolve their quandary peacefully.

"No! Chen, leave me. I don't want to destroy your future!"

Lu Zhaoyang responded with sudden agitation. To her, that was too daring of an idea to even consider.

Huo Chen was Z Country's youngest captain in the military. His future here was promising. If they leave the country together, what would become of his career?

All the work he had done before this would be wasted!

Huo Chen shook his head and smiled warmly, and that made Lu Zhaoyang's heart break.

He said, "I have fulfilled my duties to my country. Now, I would like to fulfill my duties to you and you alone, do you understand?"

Lu Zhaoyang looked up, and their eyes met. In his eyes were a reflection of her.

Tear marks marred her face. She looked so pale and fragile.

"Chen, I…"

Her mother was still at the capital. How could she just leave her here?
