Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 1227 Heather of the Other Shore Flower (251)

"Where is she?" Nian Shen looked around, "I don’t see her."

"...Nonsense, you’ve never seen her. How would you know if she’s here or not? If I hadn’t noticed earlier on that building, your heart would have been shot."

Nian Shen smiled, "That’s why I said hiring you as my bodyguard is the best decision. I trust you to keep me safe."

"..."

This sounds like something from the wrong script series?

"I can’t afford to be careless. I’m not sure if she came alone or with accomplices. I only saw her, but if there’s anyone else, I couldn’t recognize them right away."

If she hadn’t seen Lucia, it would probably be hard to identify her.

Everyone’s good at disguises, so it’s still hard to distinguish with the naked eye.

"With so many people here now, she probably won’t show herself. If she failed just now, she probably retreated."

"Hard to say, just be careful."

Last night, I was ready to resign and leave, who knew he would send out his strong men.

This day, aside from being a bit tense, nothing unexpected happened.

Lucia seemed to have really retreated temporarily, as no suspicious people were seen later. So now Heather is almost certain she came alone. Besides, Lucia aligns more with the image of a lone wolf; taking Nian Shen’s life doesn’t require sending a squad.

That was back then...

The number of people dealing with Ah Nian.

...

A few days later, news came about Qu Leqi. A nameless female corpse was found by the shore in another city, wearing the exact same clothes Qu Leqi wore, with the same accessories as well.

Soaked in seawater for several days, it was already bloated, and the face could no longer be recognized.

The situation was eerily identical to when they found Xiao Man.

This made the rumor of a curse spread even more widely. If it weren’t a curse, how could the manner of death be the same for both?

Now there’s a theory going around that they both were bewitched by something, which led to...

But this theory cannot be confirmed because they’re dead, and no answers can be obtained.

Plus, with surveillance footage as evidence, Qu Leqi’s death was deemed an accident, and the case was closed like that.

Finding Qu Leqi’s body ultimately didn’t change anything, it merely brought some solace to her fans.

"..."

Heather turned off the TV, ending her viewing.

"Mr. Nian, your girlfriend died so tragically, but why haven’t you shown any sadness or shed a tear for her? That’s quite heartless." Heather picked up an apple and sat on the sofa eating.

"I didn’t like her."

Ever since he confessed his feelings to Heather, he no longer hides anything.

"Then why did you pursue her?"

"Who said I pursued her?" Nian Shen sat across from her, flipping through the documents on his lap with an indifferent look.

"... Weren’t you..." Heather paused, "Isn’t this what everyone witnessed? You sent flowers and visited her on set. If that’s not pursuing, then what is?"

"I can send flowers to anyone. As for the ’visiting on set,’ where did you hear that? Just because I went to the set, does that mean I only went to see her? I was there to see you; I just didn’t tell you or show it."

"..."

Heather suddenly realized, whatever he says now, it somehow all makes plausible sense!
