Chapter 409 - 164: Entry
"I’m back." Lu Hong had left the Imperial Palace and returned directly to his temporary residence in Jinrui City.
Pushing open the door, Anna and Lando sat on either side, both with one leg propped over the other, heads bowed drinking their tea, their expressions and movements nearly perfectly synchronized.
What was all this about? Lu Hong had a bad feeling. Although it had been noisy these past couple of days, at least the two women didn’t sit together. He had been dealing with them separately. Now, with both women putting on an act together, how was he going to resolve the situation?
Hearing Lu Hong’s return, neither of the women reacted. They just kept drinking their tea, seemingly unconcerned about whether it had cooled.
"What are you two doing? Are you going to interrogate me?" Lu Hong decided to seize the initiative.
"So what if we are?" Lando turned her head away and squinted at Lu Hong, the smile on her lips unnervingly eerie, "You really are a beast, taking advantage of others’ weakness. My poor little sister Anna was just ruined by you."
"Uh...," what did she mean by ’ruined’? What on earth had the two women been discussing? Lu Hong touched his nose feeling incredibly awkward. Anna had actually spilled such a thing.
"Well, I’ve come back to tell you both that I am leaving. Stay at home and be good. I will come back when I am done," said Lu Hong without further ado. He wanted to indulge in romance, but lives were at stake, and it couldn’t be delayed.
"Leaving again? Where are you going?" Anna quickly stood up; she had waited so long to see Lu Hong, and just after two short days, he planned to leave again, "I won’t let you go." Saying so, Anna rushed over and hugged him.
Lu Hong sighed. He understood that being a woman alone in a strange place without any family and not having him by her side, she must feel incredibly lonely.
