Cheng Yichen, dressed in a perfectly straight white suit, stood in front of the french window. There was a cigarette between his fingers, the smoke lingering in the air.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor, then stopped in front of the office. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, bringing in a gust of cold wind. Midnight was standing at the door wearing a black suit, his sharp eyes sweeping across Cheng Yichen, "Why didn't you go back?"

"Isn't it safer here?" The old man's eyes and ears are all over the place. He took a puff on his cigarette in annoyance and said softly, "Has the investigation come to a conclusion?"

Hei Ye walked in and closed the door behind him. Standing about a meter away from him, he said indifferently, "A group of people are also investigating the Hands of the Holy Hand. Yesterday, I received news that this group of people are related to Jing Moxuan."

An unexpected expression appeared on Cheng Yichen's face as he muttered to himself, "He's actually also looking for the Holy Hand?"

"Yes, there is a woman who is on good terms with him. She has been sending people to search for the Holy Hand, and recently they received news of her." "The Holy Hand will be arriving in New York on the weekend."

"A sweetheart?" Cheng Yichen's face revealed a mocking smile, and then, he firmly clenched her hands. "Just thinking of where Li Ruo is, makes me feel that I'm very useless!"

The Dark Night was still expressionless. "So do we have to find the Holy Hand before he does?"

"He came to New York that day?"

"Weekend."

Cheng Yichen's face turned cold, then revealed a sarcastic smile: Go check out the flight for that day.

An astonished expression appeared on Hei Ye's face as he shook his head, "That's not appropriate, right? "How do you know that the Hand doesn't know how to fly a helicopter?"

He walked to the chair with large strides and gently wiped his lips with his hand, his eyes filled with ridicule. "I also know a bit about the Holy Hand. He really likes to hide in the crowd and pretend to be an ordinary person."

"I'll arrange it."

Cheng Yichen casually extinguished the cigarette, his obsidian eyes revealed a sense of coldness, it was as deep as a well, causing people to be unable to guess what he was thinking, and even the occasional expression that appeared on his face had a sense of mystery.

Right at this moment, a string of anxious bell sounds rang. Cheng Yichen picked up the call, and instantly stood up and anxiously asked, "She fainted with nosebleed? Then how did Jing Moxuan do it? "Alright, alright, I understand."

He hung up the phone and sat back in his chair. However, his expression was not as calm as before. Instead, it was very heavy.

"What happened?"

"She got the poison, she fainted with nosebleed, but Jing Moxuan gave her some medicine." Cheng Yichen squinted his eyes and guessed, "I feel that the person in Jing Moxuan's hands is not a antidote at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let the poison attack her again!"

"So I must find the Holy Hand as soon as possible."

"Yes, but I don't know what kind of requests he will have." Cheng Yichen sighed, the look in his eyes became deeper.

However, a faint smile appeared on Hei Ye's face. "I was so nervous just now. Why didn't you go back to take a look?"

"No need. There are too many spies and it's hard to say where Old Master Jing would come from. Who knows what kind of weird method he would use to make things difficult for us." Cheng Yichen sighed, "I might be going back to A City soon."

"Is it because of what Jing Moxuan said?" "Are you sure what he said is true?"

Cheng Yichen was silent for a moment, "I think it's true."

"What about here? They are getting engaged. " "Can you just watch as they get engaged?"

Initially, he had thought Cheng Yichen would refute him, but he didn't expect him to say anything. After a long while, he sighed helplessly and said, "Impossible."

"That's more like you."

In the Jing Family's mansion, Jing Moxuan returned to the house and recklessly glanced at the person on the bed. A trace of pity was expressed on his cold and indifferent face.

Her hand gently touched her cheek, then she simply laid beside her and gently embraced her in her arms, "Li Ruo, I actually also had hopes that I could spend my life with you, but the reality is very cruel, there are too many unsettling situations here."

"So, the only thing I can protect you with right now is your life."

It was late at night, and the sounds of birds could be heard from time to time. The quiet night was filled with sorrow, and the faraway street lamps were emitting orange lights. It was desolate and lonely.

The next morning, Li Ruo stretched and opened her eyes in shock as if she had touched something. When she saw Jing Moxuan, she screamed in fear and quickly retreated.

Jing Moxuan was woken up by her voice, he opened his eyes unhappily, and looked at her hazy drunk eyes, "What are you doing?"

Her face was filled with astonishment, but she soon felt very tired, "What happened yesterday? Why do I feel so tired? "

His face darkened for a moment, then he lay back down. "I'm tired. I'll go back to sleep."

"You, why are you in bed?" Li Ruo asked in shock, her face had a trace of anger, "Weren't you sleeping on the sofa before?"

"The sofa isn't comfortable."

"But you, you." Li Ruo was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

However, it was Jing Moxuan who laughed, sat up again and looked at her cute little face helplessly, "What happened to me? What are you afraid of? "What do you think I'll do to you?"

"No, I was just surprised." She muttered, her face full of depression.

Jing Moxuan carefully sat up, "Hey, help me put on my clothes."

"Me?"

"Otherwise?" He raised his injured arm. "Do you want me to do it myself? "I don't have that ability."

Li Ruo was depressed, but she felt his head spinning, almost falling to the ground, his head leaning on the cabinet beside him, "Why am I so dizzy?"

"Maybe he didn't sleep well yesterday."

"Is that so? It feels weird. " Li Ruo shook her head in bewilderment, then walked over to the wardrobe and found a grey shirt, "Can this one do as well?"

"You can choose." Jing Moxuan said with incomparable seriousness, and conveniently added another sentence, "You are my fiancee, so I will listen to everything you say."

His words made Li Ruo feel awkward, after all, the two of them were having an unpleasant time previously, and now that he was suddenly taking the initiative, she always found it hard to accept it, so she did not seem to be sincere about it.

"Alright, then I'll wear this."

Li Ruo walked over in large strides and helped him put on his shirt. She buttoned it one by one and her fingers gently caressed his skin.

Jing Moxuan was taller than her by a head, so when he looked down, he could see her fan like eyelashes, straight nose, and slightly pouted red. If he looked any further, he would be able to see her mouth.

subconsciously dodged. His expression suddenly became extremely unsightly, and he looked at her with a face full of astonishment.

"What do you want?"

"Kiss you? That's weird. You are my fiancee, I am you normal right? Is there a need for you to have such a huge reaction? " Jing Moxuan asked in displeasure.

Li Ruo's mouth was agape, but she did not know how to refute him. In any case, she was disgusted with him, so she could not find any interest in him.

He continued to get closer with a face filled with warmth and anger, "Li Ruo, you were the one who promised to marry me back then.

Li Ruo was so frightened that she locked herself into a small corner and watched as he walked over step by step. She even held her breath as she moved closer and closer to her forehead.

Jing Moxuan lowered his head and forced her to speak, then quickly after, he evaded her voice and said, "You made me act like a bad guy, Li Ruo, remember that you are my woman."

His hand gently poked her shoulder. "I'll remember that!"

Li Ruo's head was lowered, and her eyes slowly became moist. She really disliked him, so she really didn't feel that there was any relationship between him and her. The feeling he gave her was just too sinister, she just felt afraid.

A banging sound came from the door. Somehow, she heaved a sigh of relief, as she felt more at ease in the space he wasn't in, or at least less nervous. In her heart, she started to suspect, did she really love Jing Moxuan back then?

Why didn't she feel that way about him now, besides being afraid?

She leaned on the wall silently, her heart was at a loss, and she didn't know what she was doing. She should have really fallen in love with Cheng Yichen, right? From the beginning he had fallen in love with them to now, he truly felt that he was different, very special.

It was just that he didn't want her, because she wasn't Jiang Ruoqing. She was really curious about that woman, what kind of charm did she have that could attract a man like Cheng Yichen?

Li Ruo just opened the door and saw Cheng Yichen standing at the entrance. She stared at him in shock, "You, when did you come? Why don't you knock? "

He leaned on the fence, his face carried a trace of melancholy, "Li Ruo, I might have to leave for a few days."

Her face darkened inch by inch. She was about to get engaged, did that mean that Cheng Yichen wouldn't appear on the day of the engagement? Why did he feel so sad? I always feel sad.

If he wasn't here, wouldn't he feel insecure? How hard would it be for her to stand alone in a place completely foreign to her?

"Where are you going?" Li Ruo herself did not notice that when she said those words, her voice was hoarse, revealing unwillingness to part, and even a little fear.

Cheng Yichen lowered his head and did not notice anything amiss, and continued, "There are some matters at home that I have to take care of, I'm in a hurry to go back."

"Will you show up that day?"

Cheng Yichen could not guarantee, after all, he did not know what would happen if he did not return, so if he did not return, why would he give her such a promise? He shook his head. "He might not return."

"But I'll be scared."

"What are you afraid of? "Just take me by your side." Cheng Yichen held her hand, and only now did he notice the uneasiness on her face.

Li Ruo laughed bitterly and shook his head, "You won't understand my feelings, I will probably be very scared when the time comes."

For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He even had the strong thought that he wouldn't leave and would stay by her side, but she wasn't the only one in his life.

He wanted to know the cause of death for his parents. He wanted to know everything that had happened in the past, and more importantly, he wanted to know if that year had anything to do with her father.

"Be good, I will come back." But he saw the look of loss in her eyes.

Li Ruo sighed, then looked to the side and muttered, "What do we do, I seem to be more and more dependent on you, I'm truly mad, I'm someone who wants to get engaged, Cheng Yichen, promise me, if you don't come back on the day of the engagement, you will never appear in front of me again."

His heart sank when he saw her smile helplessly. "Because I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
