"Then... I saw her behind..."
Qin Chu said nothing, but gently raised his hand to help Huo Mian wipe the tears from her face.
"There are so many scars on her back... densely packed... shocking."
Huo Mian's voice was trembling as her mind seemed to be still recalling the scene just now.
This was what Qin Chu expected. Lu Yan had been fighting and killing for many years, so it was impossible for him to escape unscathed.
Let’s just talk about one time not long ago, when Ian and others surrounded him in the cold storage and almost died together.
"Lu Yan is a mercenary. What she does is dangerous. She fights with others, kills people on missions, and even gets chased and flees. She will definitely get hurt in the process." Qin Chu explained patiently.
"Honey, tell me, she is only twenty years old. In China, a girl of this age should be a college student. She dresses up every day, goes on dates with her boyfriend, and goes out with her best friends. But Xiaoyan..." At this point , Huo Mian couldn't help crying again.
"Honey, everyone's life is different... Lu Yan has her own life. Even if you are biological sisters, you still live in two worlds. This is an unchangeable fact."
"It would have been nice if my parents had given birth to her, and I could have lived her current life for her."
"But life cannot be repeated. I know you love Xiaoyan, but these cannot be changed. Wife, you are so smart, don't you understand this?"
Qin Chu comforted her for a while, holding the fat-bellied Huo Mian tightly in his arms.
On the other side, Lu Yan took a shower, put on her pajamas, ran to the twins' room, and continued playing games with her two nieces.
Until midnight, the two children fell asleep.
She just put on a black windbreaker, then simply packed some belongings and walked downstairs.
It was already past twelve o'clock in the night, and at this time, everyone in Nanshan Castle fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't want to say goodbye to her sister because it would inevitably lead to another tear-jerking scene.
She doesn't like to cry and doesn't want to be so soft-hearted.
So she planned to leave quietly again and just send a text message to her sister later.
Lu Yan just carried the bag and left through the back door without alerting the security guard at the door.
The remaining men picked her up and headed to the dock.
Behind a big tree not far away, Huo Mian stood there, crying silently.
She felt very sad when she saw Lu Yan leaving alone.
She wanted to give Lu Yan a good life, but at this moment, she realized how weak she was.
Nothing seems to change.
"It's windy here, let's go back."
Qin Chu put his coat on Huo Mian, then put his arm around her shoulders and returned to the room.
Lu Yan left very suddenly, just like when he came, without any warning.
Su Yu didn't even know the situation.
Xiao An woke up in the morning and sent a message to Lu Yan, but she didn't reply.
The number he stored was a temporary one that Lu Yan used in China.
Once he leaves, Lu Yan will not log in to WeChat or anything else, for fear of leaking his whereabouts.
Seeing no response, Xiao An plucked up the courage to make a phone call.
It turned out that it couldn't be opened.
Then, he gritted his teeth and slapped Huo Mian shamelessly.
"Mr. Huo."
"Xiao An, tell me." On the other end of the phone, Huo Mian was not in a very high mood.
"Is Miss Lu Yan here? Doesn't she like to eat lotus leaf noodles? I found a new one opened on Tianyi Road. The taste seems to be very good. I want to ask her if she wants to eat it?"
"No need, she's gone." Huo Mian's voice sounded tired.
