Mind in Conflict But Heart is Decided

Lu Zihao lifted Long Jinjing and carried her out of the training grounds. She yelped in surprise but didn't struggle at all. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his strong shoulder. Her trust in him was very clear in her actions. His chest felt warm with confusing emotions but he held her closer to himself. 

He brought her to his private room in the headquarters. It was more like a suite than a regular room. The main area functioned as his office where his subordinates would usually go first to find him to report something. There was a small bedroom and ensuite bathroom as well. Everything in the place was simple and functional. There were no extra decorations.

After locking the door, he finally put her down on her own two feet. She still felt a little shaky so she continued holding on to him to stay steady. He didn't mind. On the contrary, he liked that she clung to him. 

He led her to the couch. "Sit."
