Forsaken By Love

"Dearest, don't cry," Lu Nanfeng said, his heart was feeling fl.u.s.tered as he saw her looking sad. How had she been treated, for her, who was such a strong woman, to cry like a little child? 

Amidst his fl.u.s.tered feelings, Lu Nanfeng also felt a smoldering anger, a hatred, towards Mo Yunhuang and the Organization for treating her as a tool, for taking her prisoner.

He knew his Lixue well enough to know that she was not easily moved, and that it was very rare for her to show her sadness like this. The only reason he could think of was that she was overwhelmed with what had happened, that she was so relieved that she had escaped, that her emotions were now getting the better of her.

It was not completely correct, but she was not feeling that she had been mistreated by the Organization; however, when she saw Lu Nanfeng, her suspended heart settled in her c.h.e.s.t, and she finally felt at peace, and at home.

It was when she saw Lu Nanfeng that she knew that this man was the one whom she wished to spend the rest of her life with. She loved him.

"Nanfeng," He Lixue called out with a few sobs before she rushed to his side and buried her head in his c.h.e.s.t, the tears on her eyes flowed readily from her eyes and soaked his shirt in no time.

But Lu Nanfeng did not care about his clothes getting soaked by tears; all he could feel was sadness due to her crying, anger for not protecting her well, and hatred towards the Organization.

"I missed you," He Lixue finally said with a low voice as she rubbed her head against Lu Nanfeng's c.h.e.s.t. Her arms had circled around his waist, and she was hugging him tightly. 

Feeling the sudden sense of reliance, Lu Nanfeng's heart melted into a puddle, and he too hugged her tightly, as to make her feel that he was there. 

While the two of them were forgetting everything around them, Wen Sihan looked at Lu Nanfeng and He Lixue with mirth in his eyes, and some slight surprise. 

He had thought that Lu Nanfeng was a stoic man who was unable to love, but now he knew that he had just not met the right person before. Now that he found He Lixue, he was much more human.

Wen Sihan had not been told about He Lixue's real identity, but he was a smart person and could guess a few things from seeing how both the Organization and Lu Nanfeng were willing to go so far in their attempts to get her.

Everyone in the abyss knew of the famous hacker named He Lixue. He Lixue was the most talented expert in the hacking field; she was innovative and able to break even the most defensive firewall.

Everyone who wanted to protect their systems had to hire He Lixue, but she was only loyal to the Organization, and thus, others had to contact them in order to hire her.

Many were unhappy with her unwavering loyalty towards the Organization, and she was often the subject of assassinations.

Rumor had it that it even succeeded. The Organization even held a funeral for her, and everyone was convinced about her death, as the Organization stopped using her hacking and programming style.

But now, a woman who used the same style of coding, and with the same name appeared. It would be very weird if there was no connection between the two women, but from the outside, they seemed to have nothing in common. 

Wen Sihan looked at He Lixue and Lu Nanfeng hugging each other so tightly and smiled. He stood up before making his way out of the office. He knew better than to become a third wheel when they were displaying affection.

As Wen Sihan left the mansion, he entered the SUV that was parked outside, and the men who had led He Lixue back who all looked full of respect and reverence. 

"Master, the mission has been accomplished. Miss He had already begun her escape when we located her, and while she did not completely trust us, she still followed us back. 

"Miss He is quite a prudent person. She was not willing to trust us just because we said that we were here on the orders of Lu Nanfeng, but in the end, she understood that she could not escape our grasp, so she followed us obediently."

"Good job," Wen Sihan nodded his head. "We are not returning home just yet," he continued. "I made a deal with Lu Nanfeng, and it seems that I will be able to take over the territory and trade routes of the Organization, so we will have to eradicate Mo Yunhuang once and for all."

"Yes, sir!" the members of his group all raised their voices as they boomed out a reply. They were full of excitement, and their hearts were bursting with pride. 

This was their boss! This was their fight! They would soon defeat their enemies and take over the world. The abyss would become their playground!

While Wen Sihan and his men slowly left the mansion's area, He Lixue and Lu Nanfeng were still close to one another in the study. They were hugging each other while saying nothing, just reveling in each other's closeness. 

It had been so long since they had been parted from one another, and now that they saw each other again, they were greedy for the other's scent and touch.

He Lixue slowly calmed down. Her heartbeat relaxed and became normal, and her body felt fatigued. It had been a long time since she last was so wound up, and while she was at the Organization, she never dared to rest much, fearing for what might happen.

Now she could rest at peace, in the safety of Lu Nanfeng's arms.
