Chapter 103 - Forsaken

He Lixue knew that Lu Nanfeng was worried about her body. She had indeed been far too skinny previously, but he had fattened her up quite nicely. There was no harm done in skipping a meal once or twice. 

But seeing the worry in Lu Nanfeng's eyes, He Lixue could not say it; she did not want to disappoint, so she smiled and said gently, "then let us eat something light."

She was also aware that if she did not eat, then Lu Nanfeng would not eat either, and while she was not hungry, he was a grown man who had worked hard. He needed his meals, or his stomach would become upset. 

Lu Nanfeng nodded his head and ordered some sushi. Although it was not too light, it was refreshing and easy to eat;he wanted her to have something nutritious that was also filling. 

Hearing his order, He Lixue smiled speechlessly. Although she was surprised that he had chosen this for their lunch, she did not complain. Instead, she went to Lu Nanfeng's side, and gently began kneading his shoulders, massaging his taut muscles to relax.

Her slender and soft fingers pressing against his shoulders were extremely pleasurable, and he relaxed completely. 

He even leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes in comfort.

He Lixue noticed how he was enjoying her service and smiled sweetly. She had felt useless for a long time, doing nothing but bringing trouble and extra work to him, so knowing that she could also make him relax and feel good, gave her a great feeling. 

The two stayed in silence, He Lixue was massaging Lu Nanfeng, and he was enjoying the treatment, which lasted until Assistant Hui knocked on and opened the door, bringing inside the food they had ordered. 

Although Lu Nanfeng would gladly have continued to feel her hands gently press on his shoulders and neck, Lu Nanfeng was also aware that it was quite hard and that He Lixue's fingers were likely sore now, so he did not insist on continuing. Instead, he took her hand in his, leading her towards the sofa and the coffee table.

After eating their food, He Lixue looked at Lu Nanfeng. He seemed as if he had something he wanted to say, but did not know how to say it. She did not rush him and just waited patiently to see what was on his mind.

"Dearest," Lu Nanfeng began speaking after a bit of hesitation. "Wen Sihan and I have planned our attack on the Organization."

He had initially not planned to talk with her about it, but he knew that if he were not straightforward, she would become anxious. 

"I will be away for a few days to solve the problem, and during these days, you will have to stay at the mansion. I would have invited you to my parent's manor, but I don't think my mother is ready for that just yet."

The expression in He Lixue's eyes turned solemn upon hearing his words, and she nodded her head. "I understand," she said. 

Seeing that she was so serious and understanding, Lu Nanfeng heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He knew that she was like a wild bird who loved to take off into the skies and never be tied down, but when it came to such situations, she understood the seriousness of it all.

He also did not go into detail with what their plans were. He understood that it was better for her not to know. Although she had a relationship with the Organization before, it had crumbled entirely and that she would not plead on their behalf. 

He Lixue took a deep breath. Although she was seemingly calm and collected, her heart was beating rapidly, and she was slightly uncomfortable. 

She knew that she had to choose between her former life and her new one, and of the two, she had picked Lu Nanfeng and her life as the current He Lixue, but it was a hard decision. 

Fortunately, she had seen through Mo Yunhuang and his selfishness now, and she was not going to sacrifice her own happiness for him. He was not worth it. 

She did not want to think about 'what ifs' or anything like that, she just knew that the life she had now was much better than the one she had before, and she was going to fight for her happiness. 

But she was also worried. After spending so much time together with Mo Yunhuang, she knew his personality well. He was cold and callous; he was ruthless and cruel. He would not mind destroying everyone if that meant getting what he wanted, and if he could not have it, then no one should dream about it. 

She feared that Lu Nanfeng might not be able to win the battle. That Mo Yunhuang was willing to harm himself and his Organization in an all-out war with Wen Sihan and Lu Nanfeng. 

"Don't worry," Lu Nanfeng sensed He Lixue's anxiety, and he placed a hand on top of hers, gently squeezing her palm in his own. "I know what I am doing; he will have no chance of revival after what we have planned for him. Don't worry, you will be free soon."

After having found Lu Nanfeng, she finally felt alive. She felt as if life had a purpose, and she was even more afraid of losing what she had than she had never been before.

She had been forsaken by her parents when she was merely a child in her past life, forsaken by society, and now she feared that she might also be forsaken by love.
