"Mr. Lu!"

Just as Xiao Ting sent Xu Liunian off, before they could even walk a few steps, she saw Lu Jianqing running out with a slightly anxious look on his face, and slightly bent down as he shouted.

"Where did you go?"

Her voice was cold, Xiao Ting quickly pointed outwards, "I just left."

Without waiting for a reply, Lu Jianqing started to walk towards the outside. All he could see was darkness, and only the dim light of a street lamp could be seen.

Xu Liunian's figure was stretched very far by this light, as if she was about to reach his feet.

During the day, when she left, her back was already lonely enough. After a few hours had passed, not only had she not become better, but she had even become more disappointed and desperate.

It was as if he had no destination in mind. His entire body seemed to have become shorter, lifeless, and moving forward like a zombie.

Perhaps the night was still cold, he could even see her slightly trembling shoulders.

Lu Jianqing's lower jaw muscles slightly contracted, he quickly walked towards her, causing his leather shoes to hit the ground loudly. Every strike was faster than the last, like an urgent drum, it continuously beat on the hearts of the two.

The night outside the city was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. The sound behind him was very clear, and it was slowly approaching him.

Xu Liunian did not turn back, she did not know where she got her confidence from, but she knew that this person was Lu Jianqing.

In her heart, she was holding onto a sliver of hope. She wanted Lu Jianqing to still believe in her under the situation where she had become everyone's target.

Even if there was a one in a million chance of that happening, she still wanted to wait.

"Where to?"

Xu Liunian's heart skipped a beat. Her guess was correct, it was indeed Lu Jianqing, she would not recognize the wrong voice.

Perhaps she wanted to give herself a chance, but she slowly stopped and turned around stiffly. It was just that she didn't dare to raise her head.

He had not done anything, yet he felt a sense of guilt. He was still in the dark, and there was no room for him to struggle.

"Go find Zhao Ying."

She still remembered that when she was taken away by someone, the room was a total mess. Furthermore, she did not hold her phone, if Zhao Ying came back and saw such a scene, she would definitely be scared, so she had to hurry back to prevent Zhao Ying from worrying for her.

The two of them stood facing each other under the street lamp. It was a bit bright, so Xu Liunian didn't dare to raise her head, and could only reply with a hoarse voice.

The two of them were the only ones on the wide road, but with one person by their side, it didn't feel that cold anymore.

Her shoulders suddenly felt a weight on them, and her bare back instantly warmed up a lot. Xu Liunian turned her head in surprise, to discover that it was Lu Jianqing's jacket that was draped over his shoulders.

Following the removal of her slender finger from her shoulder, she raised her head to look at Lu Jianqing.

The lights were very bright, especially on a dark night like this.

Xu Liunian's thick makeup had long been soaked in tears, and her eyes had grown a lot larger. It was because her eyeliner had fainted, and she did not know when she had raised her hand to wipe her tears. The fine lines of her lips had also long been rubbed off.

He looked to be in an extremely sorry state. His eyes and nose were still red, and his eyes were watery. It was clear how much he had cried just now.

She was shocked by Lu Jianqing's actions for a moment.

Why would he dress her?

She had never met his eyes so blatantly, as if she was not afraid of him at all. She wanted to see different emotions from Lu Jianqing's eyes, even if it meant that he cared about her.

Even though she had donned her clothes, her eyes still did not contain any information.

The two of them looked at each other in this manner without speaking. It was completely different from when they looked at each other before, and now it seemed like there was an extra trace of calmness in their gazes.

Until her eyes became dry, only then did Xu Liunian retract her gaze and open her mouth, "I'm leaving."

In this kind of situation, whoever spoke first would lose. It was clear that Xu Liunian had lost, but she did not care at all, because in front of Lu Jianqing, she had never won.

She struggled to turn around, but was pulled by Lu Jianqing by the arm.

When he finally opened his mouth, what he said stung her heart once again.

"Is that true?"

Lu Jianqing, who was always cold and heartless and did not care about anyone, suddenly asked this question.

Lu Jianqing revealed a different attitude in front of her. She should have been happy, but this kind of question made her want to laugh.

He didn't trust himself at all. He even thought that it was true.

She opened her mouth wide and turned around to look at him in disbelief, but Lu Jianqing still gave her a probing look, as if she was a prisoner waiting to be interrogated in front of him.

She couldn't help but ask, "What if it's true?"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she asked this question. She had no idea what kind of answer she was going to face.

With the sudden increase of strength in his arms, Lu Jianqing raised his hand and directly threw her onto the lamppost, pressing her down. The hand that was holding her shoulder started to tremble.

Her back was smashed against the lamppost, Xu Liunian could not help but let out a stuffy snort. Her body was already weak, and after being hit by him like this, she felt like her bones were going to break.

Indeed, such an answer would only make him angered.

"Xu Liunian, you make me sick!"

He pressed his thumb into her clavicle, causing her to frown in pain.

She didn't want him to misunderstand her, so it didn't matter if everyone misunderstood her. As long as Lu Jianqing trusted her, she only wanted him to trust her a little.

"Would you believe me if I told you I didn't?"

Lu Jianqing squinted his eyes, a hint of doubt appeared, but his anger had not dissipated, he was already patient.

"Speak."

Xu Liunian closed her eyes as tears rolled down her face. "I listened to you, I'm going to Zhao Ying's house."

It was almost a plea, a fawning, a compromise, and she felt the hand on her shoulder tremble a little.

"But Zhao Ying Corporation had matters to attend to, only I was at home, I was captured."

She didn't want to recall what just happened, so she opened her eyes and her vision became blurry. She felt wronged, very sad, she didn't know anything, the so called Liang Peiqing was only her own guess, she had no evidence at all, and even if she said it, no one would believe her.

"Who?" Who took you away? "

Lu Jianqing's tone sounded a little anxious as his other hand grabbed her shoulder.
