Chapter 274 A Little Reluctant

Rao Man stopped speaking at last. Each step she took was strenuous, extremely difficult, and bitter for her. Her eyes were fixed on Mr. Xie Xiu.

But Xie Xiu just sat indifferently on a chair and stared at Rao Man. Rao Man’s mind kept playing back the memories she had with Mr. Xie Xiu in the past.

She used to be an orphan in a slum who made a living by stealing. She had met Xie Xiu when she was almost killed after stealing money from the casino. He had passed by the place by coincidence.

Rao Man had grabbed Xie Xiu’s hand and begged him at that time, “Save me, sir.”

Xie Xiu did not lend her a helping hand. He watched as those people caught up with her. They grabbed Rao Man, took off her clothes, and humiliated her.

Rao Man resisted with all her might and called out for help desperately. Then, Xie Xiu threw a gun at her.

Rao Man was a child back then. She didn’t even know how to use the gun. Rao Man held the loaded gun in her hands.

Xie Xiu told her, “I will take you away if you kill them.”

Gunshots were heard. Rao Man lost consciousness without successfully killing the two men.

When Rao Man woke up once more, she was already on the bed in a hotel. A warm blanket covered her, and there was hot coffee for her once she opened her eyes.

It was the first time she tasted hot coffee and fresh sandwiches, instead of having food dug out from the trash can that was mixed with stinking odors of other foods.

When she saw Xie Xiu, he was in a black coat. He stood tall by the door, looking like a God.

From that day onwards, Rao Man started to follow Xie Xiu everywhere he went.

Rao Man had told Xie Xiu on the first day he saved her, “You saved my life. I shall pay you back with my body.”

Xie Xiu had replied to her, “You can pay me with your body, but I will not accept you if you wanted to pay with your love.”

Just as promised, later, after Rao Man became an adult, he embraced her body at nights, but never accepted her love.

But it didn’t matter to her…

Everything Rao Man did revolve around Xie Xiu, which included killing people for him and hiding all the love and passion she had for Xie Xiu that was about to overflow.

She had even personally helped Xie Xiu deal with the many women who came to him.

Xie Xiu had always clearly distinguished his body’s desire from the love of the heart.

At first, Rao Man cared.

Later she got immune to it.

Because… Those women, like her, could only contribute their bodies. Mr. Xie Xiu had never accepted their love.

He didn’t care where they were going.

The moment they got off the bed, everyone no longer mattered.

Rao Man was a little grateful. She thought that she was different from those women. After all, she was always by Xie Xiu’s side. She was the woman who had spent the longest time in his bed.

She was also his most trusted person.

She thought that she could stay by his side forever.

But… Rao Man was wrong.

She did not expect Mu Zhi would appear in Xie Xiu’s life one day.

This woman’s existence was different from all the other women in Xie Xiu’s life.

She did not need to accompany him in bed to make him keep her in his heart.

She had committed so many mistakes, weak and couldn’t even help Mr. Xie Xiu with anything at all. But she still had his help in solving all the problems she encountered from time to time, and even saving her from death’s grasp several times.

Until this time, her life and death still threatened Mr. Xie Xiu’s plan.

Rao Man hated Mu Zhi, and was jealous of her.

She had always suppressed this feeling, until this time that she could not contain it anymore.

When Rao Man thought of this, her face became calmer.

She did not regret her outburst. On the contrary, she felt that this was her last dedication to Mr. Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu looked at Rao Man as she quieted down.

Because Rao Man had been walking in circles, the beautiful skirt had cut her until she was bleeding profusely. The blood was so much that she no longer felt painful.

It hurt too much that it numbed her and made her forget the pain.

She started to feel light-headed, and her footsteps began to stagger.

But Rao Man persisted.

Xie Xiu was able to judge by Rao Man’s steps that she was no longer fine at this time, but he did not take any action.

Until Rao Man dragged a few more steps and lost balance, then she fell directly to the floor. Only then, Xie Xiu slowly walked towards Rao Man’s side. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Rao Man’s cheek, saying, “You are my most brilliant subordinate, but now you have ruined my plans. I shall spare you for the sake of our old days. Now, you can walk out of this door. “

“Scam at once!”

Saying that Xie Xiu stood up again and walked to the side, with no intention to look at Rao Man again.

But Rao Man didn’t walk towards the door, nor did she stand up. She just laid on the floor and gazed at Xie Xiu.

“Sir, can you tell me why you are so reluctant to part with Mu Zhi?”

Xie Xiu looked at Rao Man nonchalantly, and did not answer her. Instead, he said, “If you are going to waste your energy here, your physical condition will no longer be able to bring you out of this place.”

Rao Man still didn’t stand up, and she just smiled, “Sir, I just want to know in what way am I lesser to Mu Zhi.”

Xie Xiu glanced at Rao Man, “She is Mu Zhi, and you are you. There is nothing comparable between the both of you.”

Xie Xiu said coldly.

“Then do you not have a little bit of love for me, or perhaps feel slightly heart-broken for me?”

“A little bit.”

Xie Xiu said these words carefully like gold.

And Rao Man actually smiled when she heard this ‘little bit’ Xie Xiu had for her.

She clearly knew that Xie Xiu didn’t answer to her first question because he never had a little love for her.

A little bit reluctant…

Perhaps it was the reluctance of losing a competent assistant.

Rao Man still smiled at this time and struggled to stand up.

She walked towards Xie Xiu slowly, and opened her arms to give Xie Xiu one last hug.

She was losing her physical strength very quickly. This penalty had been carefully calculated. If Rao Man went to Xie Xiu, she would definitely not be unable to get out of this door.

But she still chose to approach Xie Xiu slowly.

Just as she approached Xie Xiu and hugged him, Xie Xiu’s eyes turned cold all of a sudden.

He hesitated for a long time before reaching out and hugging Rao Man.

Tears of relief fell from her eyes.

Just as they hugged, someone came in hurriedly to report. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Mr. Xie Xiu, Mu…Miss Mu Zhi has been found. She is now in a deep coma!”

Xie Xiu pushed Rao Man away all of a sudden.
