He stood there, still, as though even his heartbeat had ceased.
Not a single word left his mouth.
"Xixi..." His voice was so low it was barely audible. "Did I... hurt you again?"
Meng Xi'er's arm trembled as she pushed him away, causing her to topple over and fall to the ground. Fear filled her eyes. She crawled up from the ground and without any hesitation, ran towards the room.
This scene had truly frightened her to her very core, from body to spirit.
She realized she had never truly known who Lu Yebai was, she never really... knew.
She had no idea...that he could kill.
With the door tightly locked, Meng Xi'er slid down against the wall, burying her face forcefully into her knees.
Her body wouldn't stop shaking, she recognized the body. It was the bodyguard who had escorted her away the previous night.
Did Lu Yebai kill him with his own hands?
She started to sob quietly, hugging herself into a ball.
