At first sight, he realized that he would never forget that face. Nancy was the one who saved Mond's life and the one to steal his first kiss. Without even a shred of information about the girl's whereabouts, he spent half a year and all his resources looking for her. Little did he know, that he was the groom her family was forcing her to marry. As she was running away from that marriage, she sought his help and got inside his car, not knowing that she was sitting right next to the man who was, in fact, responsible for all her troubles.
Without hesitation, the woman hugged him tight that he was almost out of breath. She kissed his lips feverishly, sending the man in her arms to push her away. However, he was so dizzy to a point that he could no longer exert any more energy to resist and break free from the woman's tight grip.
After a while, the man stopped struggling and accepted his fate. Next thing he knew, the woman was already beside him breathing fresh air around his face with a little bit of shyness paired with sweetness.
In an instant, he fastened the woman's whole body into his arms. Shocked, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief. Her hair was scattered at the tip of her ears, making her more charming and irresistible.
The man did not let go, nor stopped what he was doing. Nevertheless, the woman seemed to be shy to this as she had never done it before, her face reddened.
The next day, the man opened his eyes and took a clear and good look at her face. And at first glance, he knew that he would remember her face for a long time.
From then on, he could not keep his mind off her long, luscious hair which spread to his face when they made love. Also, he could not possibly forget her young-looking face which emphasized her crystal clear eyes that were as bright as the stars.
"Mr. Mond, we have investigated the case that you have given us. The person you mentioned is a new showgirl, Nancy Nie, the only daughter of the Nie Family." Charlie Zhou's voice echoed through Mond Lu's mind, making him snap back to reality.
Frowning, Mond Lu seemed to have gotten his thoughts back into the matter. But apparently, the woman's face just kept on appearing in his mind over and over again. By the looks of it, Charlie Zhou did not have the slightest idea that he had interrupted the man's daydreaming.
He just kept his composure and continued, "Her debut was known to the public for two years with the full support of the Nie Family. On the other hand, she seldom appeared in public. That's why the photos we have of her are very rare."
Meanwhile, Mond Lu sat at the back of the car and kept quiet. Instead, he stared at the pictures that Charlie Zhou gave him. Tensed, Charlie Zhou looked at Mond Lo who seemed to be in a bad mood and wondered if he should go ahead.
At that point, only silence prevailed in the car as everyone held their breaths while they all looked at Mond Lu.
As the tension inside the car got worse, Charlie started to break out cold sweat on his back. Not knowing what to do about it, he turned to Ron Li for help.
Ron Li then summoned up courage to look at Mond Lu and said, "Mr. Mond, to be honest, you can't really blame that girl for it! After all, she was just trying to save you! If it hadn't been the girl to detoxify your poisoned body by then, you would have died."
"Yeah, that's right. That girl was also very kind-hearted. Besides, she suffered great losses after all!" Charlie added.
"Wait, she suffered losses?" Upon hearing those words, Mond squinted his eyes, shooting them a dangerous look. Charlie could not help but tighten his clothes at the sight of this.
Looking at the rearview mirror, Ron saw Mond's melancholic face. He couldn't help but feel pity for that girl. The Lu Family had three sons, all of whom had grown to be dignified and outstanding in their respective fields. However, Mond was different for he was cold, aloof, and unreasonable. No one could figure Mond out due to his being temperamental.
That girl might have saved his life, but one thing was for sure - she stole his first kiss away.
Six months ago, this girl kissed Mond. Since then, he had been using all his resources to look for that girl. Rumors even spread that he was looking for her for revenge.
Meanwhile, Charlie swallowed and said, "Mr. Mond, but in my opinion..." He swallowed again to dampen his throat and continued, "The Nie Family is a notable family with the rich history of over a hundred years. They have been in the city for a long time, and gained their own powers. If we kill the family's only precious daughter, the Nie Family will surely not give up or let us live a peaceful life ever! They will even become the whole Lu Family's mortal enemy all for Nancy's sake, don't you think so?"
Meanwhile, the man sitting at the back seat suddenly raised his chin. Then, he looked at Charlie with a grave and inquiring expression as if he were a sinister monster. He asked, "Who told you that I was going to take revenge on her?"
"You're not avenging yourself, but asking her to act in front of you?"
"..."
"No? You are asking her to dance for you?"
"..."
"But of course, who can possibly dance better than Helen Han?" But before Charlie could continue, Ron already stopped him.
Mond didn't reply but looked at the raindrops that poured outside the window. There were fewer and fewer passers-by, who were walking hurriedly.
"Mr. Mond, if you don't want to take revenge, then did you do that just to have a payback?" Ron inquired curiously.
"Payback?" Suddenly, Mond raised his eyebrows as if he had heard something interesting.
While Charlie listened to their conversation, his hands slipped over the steering wheel. At that time, there was a woman in white who was running towards their car.
Under the pouring rain, her body was shown in detail. She had wet hair from being soaked in the rain, with raindrops slowly falling on her shoulders. Seeing the car stop, the woman anxiously hit the window.
"Go on! Keep driving!" Mond just glanced at the woman from outside and ordered Charlie coldly.
"Yes, sir!" Charlie nodded as a response to the command for he knew well about Mond's temper. Besides, they didn't know if it was good for them to help a stranger who stopped the car on such a rainy day. Although he sympathized with the woman, Charlie still had to follow the order and started the car for Mond's own safety.
On the other hand, the woman rushed towards the car and stayed in front of it. Luckily, Charlie was able to react quickly enough to stop the car in time.
"What the hell is going on?" Ron looked at her cautiously as he got off the car.
"How dare you hail a car right in the middle of a speeding highway!" Charlie looked out at the woman and shook his head in disbelief.
But before Ron could react, the woman quickly got inside the car. Her scent lingered in every space and made the air feel colder. When Ron was about to pull her out, the woman quickly closed the door.
Afterwards, Ron turned to look at Mond, who still had a seemingly blank face. Mond waved his hand at him, gesturing him to go back.
"I know you don't lack money, but please, I beg you. Please save me. I was being hunted down, and I have no other choice. If you save me, I will surely repay you for your kind deed." It was obvious that the woman was in panic, but her voice remained clear.
"Being hunted down?" Mond frowned and narrowed his eyes as he asked.
"I don't like girls who lie." His cold voice echoed in the car.
"I... I am actually..." The woman looked a little baffled. Her words were lingering in her mouth, but she did not say anything.
The light in the car was dim, but it was enough to show the perfect figure of the woman. Despite that she was lowering her head, it could be told that she was a young and radiant girl.
"Get out of the car now or tell the truth," Ron said deliberately as he knew what Mond was thinking of.
"No, I...I can't do that. I can't get off." The woman seemed to know that the man sitting at the back seat was not an ordinary person, and only he could persuade the others inside the car. She looked at Mond, but she was frightened by his cold eyes. In the end, she only withdrew her sight.
"Sir... Could you please help me?" the woman said in a low and shaky voice, as if a frightened bird.
Silence filled the air as nobody spoke and dared to say anything.
"Sir... Please..." the woman said with hesitation in her voice.
At that moment, silence still prevailed all throughout the space.
All of a sudden, the woman raised her face slightly. Upon seeing her, Ron took a deep breath. 'How could this woman look so much like the one in the photos?' Ron thought.
Meanwhile, Charlie looked back and said, "Sir, it's the car from the Nie Family. This is Nan..." Before he could even finish his words, he saw the man and the woman at the back seat, looking at each other affectionately.
