Does he fancy Luo Anning?
Rong Yan opened his eyes and glanced at his best friend before bursting into laughter. “Do you really think I’d fall for her?”
Tang Chao remained silent and thought to himself, if you don’t fancy her, why would you be so worried and eager about finding her?
Rong Yan smirked nonchalantly and said truthfully, “Without her, I can’t fall asleep.”
Habits were absolutely terrifying. Ever since he got used to hugging the fragrant Luo Anning to sleep, he seemed to have gotten addicted to her scent and developed a habit and addiction that he could not kick.
It could be said that he had never had a peaceful sleep since she went missing two weeks ago.
However, Tang Chao deciphered his words differently.
Tang Chao smiled, patted Rong Yan on his back and comforted him teasingly, “Don’t worry, we’ll find her soon.”
…
In the luxurious apartment of the bustling district in London.
“Catherine, how is she?” Kristen asked while leaning against the door frame and staring at the woman who had been cleaned and was lying on the bed. She raised her brows.
She did not expect the filthy and bloodstained face to be so beautiful and ravishing.
The beautiful woman named Catherine bandaged the woman who had just passed out. Upon hearing the man’s words, she pulled her mask down and said calmly, “There are plenty of external injuries on her body, including three broken ribs and serious liver displacement. Fortunately, you sent her here in time. Had you been one minute later, she would suffer a seizure that would be fatal because of her excessive blood loss. Even the gods will not be able to save her then.”
Kristen walked forward and gently raised Catherine’s chin. Smiling sultrily, he said, “It’s no wonder that you’re the beautiful medical prodigy, Catherine. You managed to resuscitate someone who was on the brink of death. You ought to be congratulated.”
He kissed Catherine with his crimson lips but she pushed him away gently. She then looked down to bandage Luo Anning. “Kristen, who is she? Do you know her?”
“Are you curious?” Kristen sat by the bed and grazed his long and slender fingers against Luo Anning’s beautiful face. He sighed and remarked, “What a ravishing beauty.”
Catherine glowered at him angrily and hissed, “You haven’t told me if you know her or not. I understand you well. You’re not a nosy person, but you actually rescued an injured woman. That’s very rare for you.”
Supporting his head in one hand, Kristen continued to fiddle with Luo Anning’s fair, jade-like face and said, “No… I was just really tired after carrying out the mission so I found an inn and decided to get some sleep there. However, the stench of her blood was too strong and I couldn’t sleep. I then saw her in such a state and rescued her.”
Catherine frowned slightly and said in disagreement, “Kristen, you were being too careless.”
Kristen chuckled and said, “Is that so? I think so too.”
He had never hesitated to kill but he would never save anyone either. Luo Anning was the first person whom he had ever rescued.
In fact, he had no idea what had gotten into him back then. He was usually uncompromising and yet, she managed to convince him to rescue her so effortlessly.
After giving it some thought, he discovered that it was her bright and clear eyes that made him give in.
