Chapter 15 Fear_1

Meng Xi'er slowly walked towards her room.

The appearance of Lu Qingchuan brought some relief to her fearful and anxious heart.

To her, the gentle and handsome Lu Qingchuan was like an angel. In all the time that they have known each other, he has never once lost his temper or scolded her.

He was like a serene and gentle lake. Every time his amber-colored eyes gazed at you, you could sense his tenderness.

Whenever she had angered Lu Yubai or had been scolded by him in the past, it was always Lu Qingchuan who would comfort her. He would bring her favourite milk tea or sweets to placate her.

Back then, Meng Xi'er often thought about how lucky she was to have met Lu Qingchuan and become his friend.

Now, this feeling was growing even stronger.

Thinking about Lu Qingchuan made Meng Xi'er smile. She pushed open her door to enter her room, only to see a tall, dark figure standing beside her window.

Meng Xi'er was startled. She quickly turned on the light, revealing Lu Yebai's flawless face under the illumination.

Why was it him?!

Upon seeing Lu Yebai, Meng Xi'er felt her hair stand on end. Her still healing throat injury began to hurt once again.

She recalled Lu Yebai's warning to her a few days ago: never to appear before him or Yun Qiyan ever again!

Did he come here today because she broke their agreement?

Lu Yebai stood before the window, his obscure and unpredictable eyes deeply focused on her, which made Meng Xi'er shudder with fear.

Standing at the doorway, she doesn't dare to walk further into the room. She could only manage to say softly, "Today...I didn't mean to find you." Seeing that Lu Yebai didn't respond, she tightened her grip and continued to explain, "The butler called me, asked me to notify you, I...".

Seeing Lu Yebai walk towards her made Meng Xi'er so scared that she could hardly even speak. Suppressing the scream that was about to pop out of her throat, she quickly turned around wanting to run out.

Lu Yebai was surprised to see Meng Xi'er attempting to run away upon seeing him. A scene from earlier downstairs passed in his mind, Meng Xi'er and Lu Qingchuan were walking in, hand in hand. She was smiling then, wasn't she?

Seeing her now, with a scowling face, what does it mean?

There was a surge of frustration in his chest, and this feeling had not dissipated since Meng Xi'er appeared in his home.

He quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed Meng Xi'er by the wrist. The moment her slender wrist landed in his hand, Lu Yebai was slightly taken aback. Her wrist was so thin that it seemed like it could break if he squeezed too hard.

Meng Xi'er was caught by him and forcefully pulled into the room. She looked at him with a pale face. The man's face was increasingly gloomy, and she was genuinely scared to tears.

"I really didn't mean to find you! The butler really asked me to notify you, I couldn't reach your phone...".

The injury on her throat flared up again in pain. Although it nearly healed, the pain that he had left resurfaced clearly upon seeing him again.

Some scars, no matter how much time passes, can never be erased.
