311 Don't let her out of your sight
Since Lu Mengjic was permitted to visit Spider during his recovery period, she didn't waste the chance to form a plan with him. Once Spider could finally stand and walk on his own, Cecilia was going to help them to get out of the place. That was their plan and hopefully, things would end well for them.
Lu Mengjie was currently in the basement, checking out on Spider. Two days had passed since she had signed the divorce papers. During those days, she had received a notification from Cecilia that her divorcement with Yong Liwei was instantly processed.
She couldn't help but wonder why Yong Liwei would easily give up their marriage just like that. Why would he allow Cian to break their marriage just like that? Did he fly back to the mainland? She had been waiting for someone to save her. As much as she disliked the idea of having that divorce, she had to keep it all to herself.Findd new stories at novelhall.com
What mattered the most was to focus on how to escape Cian and his men. It was a good thing that Cian ordered his men to stop torturing Spider. All she had to do was what he wanted in the meantime if she wanted to live.
After visiting Spider, she climbed out of the basement only to meet Cecilia, with another unfamiliar man behind her.
"There you are. I was looking for you," Cecilia said as she began approaching her. "By the way, meet Jade, the guard assigned to you. I have already talked about this with my brother and he has given you permission to roam around the place as long as you have Jade by your side."
Why would Cecilia have someone guard her? It would be harder to escape if someone was following her!
Lu Mengjie couldn't help but furrow her brows as she cast her eyes towards the man behind Cecilia. It was then that she noticed something.
That height and scent, along with that body figure, she was quick to notice something strange about the man standing before her. She clenched her hands into fists the moment she met the man's dark cycs.
Lu Mengjic knew that they could not even reconcile properly since the house was full of surveillance cameras. With Virus in control of it, just like Kuro, he would instantly notify Cian about any strange movements.
And so, she walked past him and finally headed out of the place. Cold breeze hit her face the moment she stepped out of the mansion. Few men were walking around, some glanced at her, some ignored her.
Lu Mengjie eyed the tall gate a few meters away from the building, "Can I go out?" She turned to her new bodyguard.
The man took a cuff out of his pocket and cuffed her wrist together with his before he nodded at her.
Her eyes landed at the cuffs around their wrists that connected them. Cecilia must have suggested this to her brother. No wonder Cian allowed her to roam around and go out of the house. She wouldn't be able to run away like this.
Sighing, she turned away and looked for CCTV. When she found one, she raised her middle finger at it before she walked towards the gate, dragging the man she recognized as her husband.
The gatekeeper didn't stop them when he saw the couple walking towards him. He opened the gate for them.
By the time Lu Mengjie went out, she was quick to notice that they were surrounded by trees. Except for the roadway, tall trees loomed all around. They were far from the city alright.
As Lu Mengjie entered the forest, by the time they were out of sight from the gate wall, she was pulled against a hard chest. In an instant, she felt sparks run down her body the moment the man's lips came crashing down against hers.
"Mengjic..." He whispered through the kiss.
