Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

Cen Ning pulled away from the memories, and now she just felt that she was too irresponsible.

Back then, Lu Qixiao tortured her physically and mentally, making her eager to escape. He also threatened her with his daughter to make her give up on herself and become docile. In addition, the news of her husband Mu Qing's death stimulated her...

She was in so much pain that she just wanted to find a place to hide.

Since Lu Qixiao likes this body, she can just give it to him, a soulless body, and he can do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't hurt her daughter.

Then her soul was addicted to the illusion in her heart and couldn't extricate herself. The demon spirit living in her body also constantly inspired her to recall every bit of her acquaintance and love with Senior Mu Qing. In the beautiful memories over and over again, she Forgetting the pain, forgetting the time, forgetting her responsibilities...and her children...

How could she be so stupid then?

The continuous stimulation made her lose her mind. Her daughter was still so young, so she left her at the door of the orphanage. What if she met a bad person? What if the orphanage didn't treat her well? What if the family that adopted her treats her badly?

Cen Ning was determined to die at the time and had not thought about this at all, but now, she only feels scared.

She can feel that her daughter is not close to her and has resentment towards her. This time, she can no longer be so selfish. She must try her best to make up for her mistakes. Isn't what Lu Qixiao wants is the thing between men and women? It's no big deal, the only thing that matters now is her children.

Seeing Cen Ning standing there blankly, Lu Qixiao took her into his arms and expressed his sincerity.

"A-Ning, I have been guarding you for twenty years and have been waiting for the day when you are willing to take the initiative to face me. But in the end, it is your daughter who can call you back...I was not careful about what I said at that time, and I made a mistake. I shouldn’t threaten you with her, I just said it and never hurt her, please forgive me, okay?”

Lu Qixiao still remembers that Cen Ning became delirious, which happened just after that day.

He was momentarily angry at her resistance and said some bad things, but Cen Ning actually took them seriously. From then on, she really no longer resisted anything he did to her, but the real Cen Ning also disappeared. What was left to him was a beautiful body without a soul...

How could someone only love a beautiful body?

What Lu Qixiao loves is that confident, sunny and energetic woman. She is extremely smart and daring. If he doesn't pay more attention, she will fly away from the Lu family mansion. He will never accept such consequences. , except for this, he can find a way to satisfy her.

When she didn't get a response from Cen Ning, Lu Qixiao patted her back gently and continued:

"That child has lived a good life these years. She was adopted by the Wang family and learned some occult skills. Now she is very powerful. Last time she came here, she cracked my custom mahogany desk with one palm. I'm not surprised either. She also gave her 1% of the shares of the Lu Group. The man she was with just now is her adoptive father Wang Zhizhou, and her adoptive mother Lin Manqing is in the catering business and is very kind to her, so you don’t have to worry."

"I'm sorry for her..." Cen Ning's muffled voice came from Lu Qixiao's chest.

"You had nothing to do about what happened back then. Don't blame yourself." Lu Qixiao rubbed her cheek and pecked her ear gently.

Cen Ning was agitated, as if something suddenly occurred to her, and she was about to break away from Lu Qixiao's arms.

"Let me go, Lu Qixiao, why did you appear there so coincidentally? Are you the same group as those who broke into Mu's house? You know that I put my daughter in the orphanage, right? Since you used her to threaten Why don't I bring her back?"

After regaining her senses, Cen Ning figured out many things in an instant. Lu Qixiao must know something. She was immersed in pain and had no time to think.

That night, everything happened too suddenly. Mu Qing sent her and her daughter into the secret passage. She only heard a loud noise outside, and no longer knew what happened to the Mu family. Even the news of Mu Qing's death was Lu Qixiao told her.

Lu Qixiao grabbed Cen Ning's struggling arms with a complicated expression.

"A-Ning, calm down. I didn't touch the Mu family! It was those people who refused to let go of the Mu family. That's why I didn't dare to take your daughter back. Instead, I tried my best to block the arrival of new children in the orphanage that night. The news saved her life.”

Cen Ning stopped struggling and stared into Lu Qixiao's eyes. He didn't look like he was lying.

"Who are those people who won't let the Mu family go?"

"I don't know." Lu Qixiao lowered his eyes slightly.

"You lied!" Cen Ning could tell at a glance, "You may not have participated in the attack on Mu's house, but you know who those people are. Otherwise, how could you have appeared on my way back to Mu's house by such a coincidence?"

"There are some things that are not good for you to know." Lu Qixiao's eyes were complicated, "Your daughter Lin Luo is also from the Mu family. Once her life experience is leaked, she is likely to be targeted again. Even me, I won't necessarily I can keep her."

"Is it a force more powerful than the Lu family?" Cen Ning stared at Lu Qixiao's expression and asked tentatively, "Is it in City B?"

Lu Qixiao's expression did not change. Cen Ning recalled what Mu Qing said to Lin Luo in her dream, "Many of those people are from abroad..."

"Is it a foreign force?"

As soon as Cen Ning finished speaking, she noticed that Lu Qixiao's eyes moved slightly, but she still tried her best to remain calm. She already felt confident.

Lu Qixiao was able to save her and her daughter from those people back then. They must have reached some kind of cooperative relationship, either openly or secretly. If these cooperations continued, she would be able to find clues from the Lu family.

"Mr. Lu, do you also have people you are afraid of?" Cen Ning said mockingly.

Lu Qixiao didn't care about Cen Ning's bad attitude. He released his hold on Cen Ning's hand and tucked a strand of hair on her cheek behind her ear.

"A Ning, I can't take risks with you. Not letting you show up in public these years is also to protect you. Therefore, for your safety, you can't leave the Lu family."

"Then do I have to continue to pretend to be a fool?"

Cen Ning took a step back and smoothed her hair with her hands. She still didn't like Lu Qixiao's sudden intimacy.

Lu Qixiao rubbed the fingers that had just stroked Cen Ning's hair without taking a step closer. He knew that Cen Ning needed time to accept it.

"Everyone in my family belongs to me, you can do whatever you want."

"You mean, I still have to be locked up here by you, right?"

Cen Ning looked around at this treatment room, which she had been to countless times. It was luxuriously decorated, just like other rooms in the Lu Manor, but she just didn't like staying here.

"If you feel bored, you can always invite Lin Luo to keep you company. She..."

Before Lu Qixiao finished speaking, he heard what seemed to be a noise outside. No one had ever dared to make such a loud noise on his territory.

He walked to the door with a frown, opened it, and saw the maid waiting anxiously at the door. When she saw him coming out, she began to report with relief:

"Mr. Lu, the two guests who came today had a conflict with other guests. They were about to fight. Butler Li asked me to invite you..."
