Chapter 81: Chapter 79: Or, You Fell in Love with Me_2

Furthermore, from my personal perspective, I have investigated your background and know that your parents disappeared six years ago without a trace. Therefore, if you agree to this, I will also help you search for your parents during the contract execution period and try to find them..."

...

Somewhere in her heart, it felt as if she was being cruelly pinched, causing great pain. Nanxi took a deep breath, trying not to let her tears fall. But those clear, liquid droplets just fell uncontrollably, so quickly, so forcefully...

If everything that Lu Yinchu had said before hadn’t been enough to overthrow her defenses, this last part surely was, causing her defenses to collapse completely!

Six years ago, when she was just in her sophomore year, her family was happy, her school performance exceptional, she had won first place in a school writing competition. Her parents were so proud of her, they bought her grilled chicken wings to celebrate...

That night, she slept very deeply. She had a dream in which butterflies were fluttering around her. She tried to catch them with her hands, but all she caught were empty illusions. Then, the butterflies transformed into black swirling vortexes, ready to devour her...

She woke up from the dream in a panic, feeling lost, only for her mother to suddenly come into her room at that moment, nervously telling her to get up, dress up, pack her things, and prepare to leave...

Confused, Nanxi didn’t know what was happening. Before she could ask, her mother had already rushed out.

She got out of bed and tried to find her mother, hearing her parents talking in the other room. She could not make out their words, a faint sense of fear took over her, and she obediently packed her things...

Twenty minutes later, her father drove her and her mother away from the home they had lived in for four years. They seemed to be fleeing, but Nanxi had no clue what was happening.

Sadly, they were too late. Their car was hijacked, in his panic, her father swerved the car, hitting a truck. Fortunately, he braked in time, and apart from minor injuries to him, Nanxi and her mother were okay.

Next, they got pulled out of the car by some men. It was too dark for Nanxi to see their faces clearly, but she noticed they were armed with clubs and bricks, clearly up to no good...

Scared, she wanted to get a better look but had her eyes covered by her mother. Then, all three of them were taken away by this group of people. The car compartment was stuffy; she lay in her mother’s arms, her mother leaning on her father’s shoulder. Nanxi held onto one of their hands each, fearing they would leave her.

Perhaps due to exhaustion or sleepiness, she fell asleep at some point. When she woke up, her parents were gone. One of the men in the group dumped her by the roadside, saying, "Your parents are fine, they asked us to let you go, girl, you better hurry away, or you’ll never be able to!"

Nanxi was scared, but she wanted to find the police and report what happened to her parents. So she left!

But she never managed to find her parents after that, not a trace of them was found, they had just... disappeared, completely vanished...

Back then, Nanxi regretted her actions deeply, feeling like she should never have left her parents. If she hadn’t run away, hadn’t been scared, hadn’t thought of calling the police, perhaps she could have stayed with her parents forever...

In life and death, always together...

That wouldn’t have been so bad...

It might have been six years ago, and she, now twenty-two, had learned bravery and strength that she, at sixteen, had not possessed. Some things, however, were deeply ingrained in her heart, impossible to let go.

Six years, over two thousand days and nights, Nanxi often wondered how she had managed to get through it all. Sometimes, it all seemed like a dream.

In the dream, many things were blurry, but the sadness would surge up from time to time, pricking her heart...

She cherished everything she had now, but that didn’t mean that she could simply discard everything from her past, especially her parents, who had been missing for six years!

Many things in this world can become vague and inferior with the passage of time, but some things are eternal...

For instance, the bond of blood and kinship...

During the six years of loneliness, she found a balance and comfort in this intense, indelible bond.

On one end was herself, and on the other, her parents. They were the ones she couldn’t and didn’t want to forget...

Lu Yinchu sat across from her, quiet and expressionless, allowing the young girl facing him to silently shed tears.

But was he truly impassive? No, a closer look would reveal slight creases on his forehead, his dark pupils seemed to deepen, and the line of his firm lips appeared rigid...

A blue handkerchief with a golden border was passed to her, and Nanxi didn’t refuse it. She took a deep breath, wiped her tears with the handkerchief, and looked at Lu Yinchu, "Mr. Lu...the contract? I’ll sign!"

Lu Yinchu’s hand, which had been resting on his coffee cup, stiffened. A fleeting look of suppressed sadness flashed in his eyes.

He said, "Very well!"

"But... I have one condition!" Nanxi hurriedly said.

Lu Yinchu nodded, indicating she should speak.

"Mr. Lu, you know I have a boyfriend. As you said, my boyfriend and I have been dating for almost six years, and we are very close. He’s currently overseas and will return in about four months. I...I don’t want to hurt him!"

Lu Yinchu nodded, "Don’t worry, during the period of your boyfriend’s return, I will respect your personal space...Aside from the time you spend with me and my family, you are free..."

Nanxi nodded, seeming to remember something, and added, "Also, my uncle, my cousin, my grandmother, they mustn’t know..."

"Of course!" Lu Yinchu asked, "Any other questions?"

Nanxi pressed her lips together, thought, and it seemed like there wasn’t anything else...

She shook her head!

Lu Yinchu’s eyes softened a little, "Wait a moment!"

After he said that, he picked up his phone and dialed a number...

In less than two minutes, Mo Yan appeared, holding two copies of the contract and two pens...

Nanxi thought: They sure prepared quickly!

Nanxi took the contract and skimmed through the contents, as usual, scrutinizing the details!

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Lu Yinchu, she just didn’t trust businessmen!

After all, Lu Yinchu was a businessman...

There wasn’t anything significantly wrong with the terms of the contract. It was consistent with what Lu Yinchu had mentioned before, except for one thing...

Nanxi pointed to the last additional clause and asked, "What does this mean? I don’t understand..."

Lu Yinchu responded with a noncommittal grunt, "This clause is an addition for special cases..."

"Special cases?" Nanxi asked, puzzled.

Lu Yinchu’s beautiful mouth curled into a smile, "Yes, special cases, such as me falling in love with you within this year, or you, falling in love with me..."
