665 An Axe to Grind

The boat in the dark had only a dim light.

The dim light was reflected in the water, giving it an abnormal color.

Cheng Zheng was sitting by the window, looking at the shore as if he could see the woman that could no longer be seen. He was motionless as he looked at the dark shore, trying to draw her image in his mind…

"You can't bear to part with her?" Ye Lun lifted his trouser legs and sat down beside him. "If I take both of you out of the country," he said in a teasing tone, "you could have her all to yourself. By then, Bai Muchuan wouldn't be able to fight with you for her."

Cheng Zheng snorted in disagreement. "What's the use when her heart is not with me?"

"Tch!" Ye Lun couldn't take it and laughed coolly. "Heart? What's that thing?"

Cheng Zheng turned for a glance but stayed all quiet as he continued to stare at the shore.
