Chapter 376 – Your family’s plum blossom is lost again (52)
Yan Luo swallowed hard, blinking her eyes. Somehow, she had just made the big boss of this dimension cry…
She was utterly panicked.
Perhaps Yan Luo had hit too hard. The always-composed Mu Ci was only just beginning to understand emotions—he was even more clueless than a child.
In an instant, he was frightened by Yan Luo, convinced she was about to abandon him.
He pressed her down beneath him, rambling on in a low voice.
For the first time, he explained everything clearly.
How he had discovered that laboratory, how he found his companions and built a vast underground empire.
Among all the test subjects who emerged from the lab, he was the most perfect one. Yet even he had genetic flaws, let alone the others.
They all harbored a deep-seated hatred for the laboratory that had used them as mere experiments, discarding them at will. They had long been plotting its downfall.
But what was their goal after destroying it? Even he didn’t know. He didn’t understand why he had been brought into this world through such inexplicable experiments, nor what he was supposed to do next.
Live like an ordinary person? He used to find the idea laughable. But now, he yearned for it more than anything.
If he were just an ordinary man, he wouldn’t be so clueless about emotions. He wouldn’t have cast aside the little Luoluo who was so dependent on him. He would have held onto her sooner, right? Instead of like this, helplessly awaiting her final verdict on whether he would live or die.
Only now had he finally understood what life was. A life with her—that was what truly mattered. But was he about to lose it already?
He refused.
He thought his past had already been absurd enough, his soul drifting from place to place. But he never expected that his future could be so easily controlled by one person. Just a few words from her lips could decide his fate—his life or death.
The softest touch, yet the most lethal.
“Luoluo…” He stubbornly refused to lift his head, pressing gentle kisses against her neck.
Her familiar milky scent lingered at his nose. Something kept falling from his eyes, but he didn’t care. He just curled himself into her warmth, unwilling to leave.
“I’ve never lied to you… I just wanted to be good to you. I don’t even know when it started. Clearly…”
Clearly, he had just begun to understand what emotions were. He was so close to grasping what he wanted. So close to burying the past forever.
So why did she have to come like this at this moment?
Why did she have to tear everything open in a way he never saw coming?
Things had come to this point, yet he was too clumsy to find the right words to salvage it. All he knew was—he would never let her go.
He would stake everything on it.
At the very least, she had to know—meeting her had been pure coincidence. He had merely recognized her. He had never intended to use the Yan family for personal gain. And even less so her.
There were so many things he wanted to say. Yet in the end, he could only bury himself in her embrace like a child, feeling utterly wronged.
How had things ended up like this?
Will she abandon him, because he was different, because he was not like others?
He wouldn’t allow it.
Even if he had to rob, even if he had to take by force—he would never let her…
Let go of his hand…
Dark waves surged in his eyes, shadowy emotions spreading.
Just then, a cool little hand touched his cheek.
