1132 You Can Trust Me

Confusion and dread filled Long Jinjing. Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, she was already beginning to have an idea based on what she was seeing so far and how serious Lu Zihao acted. She took a few deep breaths in a difficult attempt to calm herself down. Then she gave him a shaky smile.

"You can trust me, Nikolai," she whispered before leaning forward to press her lips against his lips.

There was no lust in the kiss. This time, it was a way to reassure each other.

"Jinjing."

"Y-yes?"

"I'm going to show you a glimpse of the real me today. If after this, you decide that you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore, I'll let you go.  And if you also decide to reveal what you see here today to others, I'll have to disappear."

Her heart jumped. "What do you mean by you'll have to disappear?"

"You won't see me again. Ever."
