Chapter 887 Fulfilling Promises
"Lu Qing..." She whispered, her voice trembling, "I'm really scared..."
Lu Qing held her in his arms, hugging her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His deep voice sounded in her ears, carrying a reassuring power.
He held her face, gently kissed away the tears on her face, then bent down and kissed her lips.
His kiss was domineering and possessive, as if he wanted to devour her.
Jiang Mubai responded to his kiss weakly, but his heart was filled with bitterness and despair.
She didn't know what was waiting for her...
The warm steam filled the bathroom, making the already narrow space even more cramped. Lu Qing's deep eyes locked onto Jiang Mubai's pale face, as if he wanted to suck her soul in. Without saying a word, he carried her out of the bathtub and wrapped her exquisite body with a soft bath towel.
"Lu Qing..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled like a frightened little animal. She didn't dare to look into Lu Qing's eyes and could only bury her face helplessly in his chest.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Qing's voice was low and magnetic, like a powerful sedative, which gradually calmed Jiang Mubai's originally frantic heartbeat.
He carried her to the bed, gently handling her as if she were a fragile treasure.
"Don't take to heart a word those scumbags say." As Lu Qing said this, he picked up the hair dryer and gently dried her wet hair.
The warm breeze blew on Jiang Mubai's sensitive scalp, gradually relaxing her tense nerves. She closed her eyes, feeling Lu Qing's meticulous care, but her heart was like a bottle of five flavors overturned, with a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.
"But..." Jiang Mubai bit his lower lip, hesitating to speak.
"No buts." Lu Qing interrupted her, "You are my woman, I will never allow anyone to slander you or hurt you."
His tone was overbearing and unquestionable, yet it carried a hint of tenderness that was barely noticeable.
Jiang Mubai's heart trembled suddenly. She raised her head and met Lu Qing's eyes as deep as the sea. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"Lu Qing, you..." She wanted to ask him why he was so nice to her, why he stood by her side without hesitation at this time, but the words came to her lips, but she couldn't say them.
Lu Qing seemed to see through her thoughts. He lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead. His deep voice rang in her ears: "Silly girl, you are the one I have chosen. If I don't protect you, who will?"
His words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into Jiang Mubai's heart, dispelling the haze and fear in her heart. She raised her head, took the initiative to wrap her arms around Lu Qing's neck, buried her face in his neck, and greedily breathed in his unique scent.
"Lu Qing..." Her voice was a little choked up, but more of it was touched and dependent.
"I'm here." Lu Qing held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
The room was silent, with only the sounds of their intertwined breathing and each other's heartbeats audible.
Suddenly, a rapid cell phone ring broke the silence.
Lu Qing picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and frowned slightly.
"It's Shen Fang." He said in a low voice, with a barely perceptible chill in his tone.
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
Lu Qing ignored her uneasiness and answered the call directly.
"Hello?" His tone was cold and emotionless.
Shen Fang laughed coldly from the other end of the line: "Lu Qing, long time no see. It seems you are doing well."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Lu Qing said coldly.
"Haha, don't be so anxious. I called you today to tell you a good news." Shen Fang paused, with a hint of joking in his tone, "I have found new evidence that can prove that Jiang Mubai is the murderer. What do you think will happen if I hand this evidence to the police?"
Lu Qing's pupils suddenly shrank, and a cold murderous intent emanated from him. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, as if it had instantly entered the coldest time of winter.
"You dare!" he said gritting his teeth, his voice sounded like it came from hell, full of murderous intent.
"What am I afraid of?" Shen Fang laughed wildly, "Lu Qing, do you really think you can beat me? I tell you, Jiang Mubai is mine, and you will never get her!"
"You're dreaming!" Lu Qing roared and hung up the phone.
He stood up suddenly and threw his phone to the ground, breaking it into pieces instantly.
"Lu Qing, calm down!" Jiang Mubai was frightened by his appearance and quickly grabbed his hand, trying to calm him down.
Lu Qing looked down at her, his eyes full of pain and struggle. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
"Mu Bai, I'm sorry, I got you into trouble..."
His painful voice rang in Jiang Mubai's ears, with a hint of despair and self-blame...
Jiang Mubai felt Lu Qing's fingers digging deep into her shoulders, with such force that it seemed to crush her bones. She endured the pain and said in a trembling voice, "Lu Qing, you hurt me..."
Lu Qing seemed not to have heard her words. His scarlet eyes stared at her intently, and his tone was as cold as if it came from the Netherworld: "Jiang Mubai, tell me, is what Shen Fang said true? Is there anything else between you and him that I don't know?!"
"I..." Jiang Mubai opened her mouth, but found that she had no way to explain. Shen Fang's words were like poisonous thorns, piercing deeply into Lu Qing's heart, and also into her heart.
"What, you have nothing to say?" Lu Qing sneered and pushed her away violently, his eyes full of disappointment and anger. "Jiang Mubai, I always thought you were a simple and kind woman, but I didn't expect you would resort to such tricks! What do you think of me, Lu Qing, huh?!"
"No, Lu Qing, please listen to my explanation..." Jiang Mubai staggered back a few steps, tears blurring her vision.
"Explain? What else is there to explain?!" Lu Qing roared, punched the wall, blood slowly flowed down his fingers, "Jiang Mubai, you really make me sick!"
After saying that, without even looking at her, he turned around and strode out of the room, leaving Jiang Mubai standing there alone, tears streaming down her face.
The broken phone screen flickered a few times and went completely dark, just like Jiang Mubai's mood at the moment, dead silent.
All of this was seen by Shen Fang who was hiding in the dark. He raised his lips with a sinister sneer, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number: "Hey, I have done what you said, and now it's your turn to fulfill your promise..."
