Chapter 1026: Inevitable (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The night soon fell, and the gray sky swallowed the last skylight as the entire sky darkened.
Tonight, there was no bright moon like there was a few days ago. In the far horizons of the sky, only a few lonely stars hung. Both sides of the quiet street were lit up with streetlights that seem a little brighter than usual.
Imperial Sky Entertainment City was bustling. Mu Lings.h.i.+ packed up briefly and walked out while a tall and st.u.r.dy bodyguard in black followed behind her.
Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, Mu Lings.h.i.+ had been extremely careful. She was protected very well, and Ah Mo did not let her exert herself too much either. If not for the fact that he was worried that she would be utterly bored at home and being insistent on having something to do to get through the eight long months, Ah Mo and w.a.n.g Hui had already planned on letting her stay at home.
They could not argue with her. Later on, Ah Mo organized for a more relaxing job for her in the office, so Mu Lings.h.i.+ was now back to pack up some things, and at the same time, hand over tasks to the new manager. It was quite late by the time she was done. Ah Mo had even called quite a few times, already urging her to get home. Otherwise, he would go and pick her up himself, so she finished explaining briefly and then go home.
Ah Mo had gotten her a retired special forces soldier to be her bodyguard. He was strong, steady, and sharp. He was called Ah Quan and had been working under Ah Mo for quite a few years now, so he was a loyal staff.
“Miss s.h.i.+, be careful. I’ll go get the car,” Ah Quan spoke softly, holding a bunch of things that Mu Lings.h.i.+ had packed up after they walked out of Imperial Sky Entertainment City.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ glanced up at the car that was parked ahead and nodded gently. “Okay then, I’ll wait for you here.”
Ah Quan grunted in response, then quickly left to get the car.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ stood by the staircase and flipped through the CDs in her hand. They were all her most treasured and favorite CDs. Even though she was not working anymore now, she still wanted to bring these home with her.
Clatter!
She was looking at two of the CDs when her hand slipped, and a few CDs fell. With a frown, Mu Lings.h.i.+ bent down very quickly and was about to pick up the CDs when someone else’s hand moved a little quicker. The person helped her pick up the things on the ground and swiftly organized them.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ was obviously a little shocked to see the sudden hand, so she looked up subconsciously and straightened her back.
What greeted her sight was a grave and stern face. It looked familiar, yet distant, but Mu Lings.h.i.+ would never forget his name—Gu Qiwu!
How could it be him?
When he saw Mu Lings.h.i.+’s alert expression, a dark light flashed in the depths of Gu Qiwu’s eyes. He lowered his gaze and looked at the items in his hand. Moments after that, he studied Mu Lings.h.i.+ intently and the light in his eyes s.h.i.+fted, so you could not quite tell what he was feeling.
Astonished, Mu Lings.h.i.+’s mind blanked out while her exquisite face was filled with an inevitable paleness. Underneath her shades, a cold light gathered in her eyes as she stared silently at the man before her. Both of them did not move for a while.
Gu Qiwu’s gaze was as profound as the sea. He looked at her for quite a while, then lowered his head to look at the CDs. His deep voice sounded slightly mellow and rich as he commented, “Western country, indigenous Latin American music…Do you like these kinds of music?”
Gu Qiwu calmly flipped through the CDs in his hand while a faint ripple of amus.e.m.e.nt crossed his handsome face.
As Mu Lings.h.i.+ looked at Gu Qiwu, who remained extremely calm, she could not help but feel sad. A chill instantly traveled from her chest to all the other parts of her body. Suddenly, she felt a little suffocated, yet it was only a second before she quickly managed to control her emotions. She could not give in to this man and his imposing manner.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ lifted her hand slightly and slowly took off her sungla.s.ses. Indifferently, she continued watching Gu Qiwu with a gaze that was distant and filled with cynical disdain, so disdainful that she did not even want to bother saying anything to him. Then, she put her sungla.s.ses back on and swiftly reached out to take the CDs from him before she walked away.
“Stop!”
Mu Lings.h.i.+ had just taken one step forward when Ah Yong came up to block her path with a cloudy expression, stopping her.
“What are you trying to do?”
At this moment, a cold and stern shout was heard! It was Ah Quan’s voice!
Upon noticing that something was not right, he had rushed over right away.
Gu Qiwu’s expression darkened. Given her reaction, she most likely found out about their relations.h.i.+p!
In that instant, Ah Quan had already walked up to her and s.h.i.+elded Mu Lings.h.i.+ behind him. With his lofty height and his ferocity, his vigor was not inferior to Ah Yong’s.
“Ah Yong, retreat,” Gu Qiwu calmly instructed after he turned around and watched this scene before him.
“Boss, they’re being too disrespectful towards you!” Ah Yong frowned. He had been by Gu Qiwu’s side for many years and had never seen anyone dare to be this arrogant.
“I told you to retreat!” Gu Qiwu coldly repeated and shot an angry glare at Ah Yong. Stunned, Ah Yong then slowly retreated to the side.
Ah Quan looked over with a hostile gaze to observe Gu Qiwu vigilantly. The fists on his sides subconsciously tightened.
“I have no intention of hurting you though you have a pretty good bodyguard.” When Gu Qiwu said this, his gaze briefly brushed past Ah Quan and then stopped on Mu Lings.h.i.+.
Upon hearing that, an indifferent curve flashed at the corner of her lips. She looked indifferently at him, then said, “Let’s go, Ah Quan.”
“Yes, Miss s.h.i.+!” Ah Quan responded.
“You—”
“Ah Yong!”
Ah Yong wanted to go up to them, yet Gu Qiwu stopped him.
“Boss, how is she so arrogant toward you!?” Ah Young could not help but mutter under his breath.
Mu Lings.h.i.+ was not interested to watch them play pretend. Finally, she stated, “Sometimes, not turning up might be a better thing to do because once you’ve turned up, it will only make one find you more annoying. Don’t look for me anymore. We don’t welcome you here.”
“How can she say all of that?” Ah Yong could obviously hear what she was trying to imply.
“Do you already know the truth?” Gu Qiwu’s voice seemed to waver slightly.
However, Mu Lings.h.i.+ did not answer him. She just scoffed at him and finally turned around abruptly to walk away.
