Chapter 615 Holding You Tightly in My Arms
With just one sentence, Zhang Lu borrowed grievance to reveal many thoughts from deep within her heart.
Ye Fan is a Human Body Limit holder; such an important matter wasn’t told to her, leaving her anxious and worried.
However, Ye Fan and Mengyao acted as if nothing was wrong, causing her to lose composure and act recklessly.
The consequence was her inner secrets leaked through a sentence, mixed with many inner monologues in her tone.
Indeed, Zhang Lu had feelings for Ye Fan, whether it was cooperating with Ye Fan before or asking him to be her pretend boyfriend to go home, all of it attracted her naturally as Ye Fan exuded charisma through their constant interactions.
A man as excellent and unique as Ye Fan is a fatal attraction to many women.
Zhang Lu naturally couldn’t be an exception.
But she understood Ye Fan’s character, so when with Ye Fan, she adjusted her mood swiftly even if she displayed a little girl’s mindset, striving to hide her feelings because she knew Ye Fan had Mengyao, and Mengyao also had Ye Fan. They were both her friends, and she didn’t want to interfere as a third party in their relationship.
She rationally chose to bury her feelings, extinguishing unrealistic ideas, keeping a pure friendship while avoiding other fantasies.
The thing she detested most was being the third party who undermines others’ relationships; hence, she didn’t want to become the kind of person she hated.
At the same time, she clearly understood that she couldn’t enter Ye Fan’s heart, so she shunned adverse thoughts early.
At this moment, borrowing grievance and complaints, she spoke in the tone only couples have. Though her words didn’t touch much, a lot could be understood from her tone.
Zhang Lu’s meaning was grasped by Ye Fan and Mengyao, and she knew Ye Fan and Mengyao understood her inner monologue.
She herself felt too reckless, thus was extremely embarrassed.
Right now, feeling guilty like a little girl, her face turned red, and her ears burned.
"As a friend, it’s not that I don’t tell you about my strength, but you never asked, so I didn’t say," Ye Fan broke the awkwardness, speaking slowly: "Besides, if I’d told you before, you probably wouldn’t have believed it anyway."
"Indeed, I wouldn’t have believed it." Zhang Lu quickly adjusted her mood, suppressing any loss of composure, while secretly observing Mengyao’s reaction, finding no extreme actions or looks from her, she relaxed slightly, smiled bitterly: "Even now, I still can’t believe you’re so young, how can you be a Human Body Limit holder?"
"Everything I said is true; just accept it from your heart," Ye Fan said warmly.
"Actually, Ye Fan had unavoidable reasons; only recently have we learned about Ye Fan’s identity and strength, so it’s not that we don’t consider you a friend, there were simply unspeakable reasons," Mengyao said apologetically: "We made you worry, and truly feel sorry for that."
Up till now, Ye Fan only told Zhang Lu about his strength and didn’t mention being the Terminator.
"Worrying about a friend’s situation is what a friend ought to do." Zhang Lu looked at Ye Fan and Mengyao, smiled calmly: "Forget those unhappy things. Actually, considering my job nature, having a formidable friend like Ye Fan is my good fortune. If I had known Ye Fan was already a Human Body Limit holder, I’d have reported it to the organization long ago."
Being part of the organization, if she knew Ye Fan’s strength early, she wouldn’t have helped him keep such secrets. Even if it was kept, it couldn’t be hidden long because a Human Body Limit holder is unusual; whether it’s identity or status, it’s supremely significant.
Her job nature doesn’t permit her to hide such secrets for a friend.
So it was understandable for Ye Fan to hide it from her in this matter; otherwise, it would have been difficult for her later, and her relationship with Ye Fan wouldn’t have reached this level.
Zhang Lu let out a bitter smile then spoke candidly: "Actually, my superior already knew Ye Fan’s strength. Before, I didn’t understand why the superior valued Ye Fan so much. Now I finally get it; there’s no need for me to report to the organization because the organization already knows everything."
She tactfully avoided probing Ye Fan’s identity, understanding that a young Human Body Limit holder must have an extraordinary background. Knowing the strength level was impressive enough; if it hadn’t been for Li Erye stepping out, she might never have realized this.
"Actually, I should’ve guessed earlier; my superior cares about you deeply."
"And you decisively killed Ma Fuyi and four others, four strong figures from the Earth Ranking, all effortlessly eliminated. Few can achieve this."
"Not to mention the deaths of Zheng Guodong and his daughter; the political world was in upheaval at the time. The partners of the Five Families in politics jumped out trying to exert various methods, suppress Chu Group and target the assassin, then suddenly went quiet, and I realized afterward it was my superior who intervened. I couldn’t comprehend the reason before; now, it’s clear it was all because of you."
"The energy of a Human Body Limit holder is truly immense."
Zhang Lu spoke quickly, digesting the fact of Ye Fan being a Human Body Limit holder just as swiftly.
"Your organization chose to support us when the Five Families’ partners emerged, essentially forcing us towards Li Erye; from this perspective, the goal was achieved." Mengyao spoke lightly: "However, it’s a win-win situation; your superior will get the desired result, while my Chu Group will rise in the Northwest to establish a solid commercial empire, and henceforth, no one will dare to underestimate Chu Group."
"I was worrying in vain; you were considering such deep levels all along." Zhang Lu laughed awkwardly, actively avoiding further discussion about her organization, mindful that talking excessively isn’t good.
She stood up, sat beside Ye Fan, patted Ye Fan’s shoulder filled with longing, said: "Really want to embrace you tightly. A Human Body Limit holder, and my friend; it’s only natural I’d be excited. But with Mengyao here, I’ll hold back a bit to avoid losing composure and becoming a laughingstock."
Ye Fan sat casually, not acknowledging Zhang Lu’s action of patting his shoulder.
"If you want to embrace, just do it; don’t mind me," Mengyao said openly.
"Better not." Zhang Lu laughed aloud, dared not act too willfully again.
