บท 280: Nightmare of her past

Lu Mengjie felt her heart stop. She looked like she had seen a ghost. She hurriedly tore the card and envelope to pieces before throwing them in the nearest trash bin.

Seeing her that way worried Yong Liwei. He sensed her fear from her as he followed her into the living room. "Mengjie?"

"It's nothing." She flashed him a tight-lipped smile but the panic in her eyes betrayed the calmness on her face.

It was obviously not 'nothing'. He had seen such a look from her twice. It was during the time when she overheard his conversation with Bai Jingye about his infertility, and the second was when she finally remembered the night she had been kidnapped, the night where she thought that he was the one behind it.

"Don't worry, it's nothing," she said, trying to reassure him. "I need a drink," she mumbled before she pivoted towards the kitchen.
