Kyoto Night Kiss

Chapter 26 It hurts here, how do I explain it?

Lu Junhe frowned, completely not recognizing the woman in front of him.

Ye Lan kept tucking stray hairs behind her ears and gently twisted her body as she said, "I'm Xiao Ye, the one who called you not long ago. I'm the lobby manager of Lanting."

This identity made Lu Junhe raise an eyebrow. He asked, "Where's Qu Yun?"

Ye Lan was taken aback: "What?"

The man in front of me said confidently, "You know him, don't you?"

"Manager Qu has probably... already left work," Ye Lan replied, not forgetting to add insult to injury for Qu Yun: "It seems she left with a client."

Lu Junhe clicked his tongue in annoyance and turned to get into the car.

Unexpectedly, Qu Yun still preferred to ask others for help rather than seek him out.

It wasn't until Ye Lan, in a moment of desperation, blurted out, "Qu Yun loves to flirt with male clients. We colleagues are all saying that her private life is messy."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man in front of her stopped getting into the car.

Ye Lan was secretly delighted and wanted to find an excuse to go with Lu Junhe.

Even if you can't achieve your sales targets, winning over this man would be a great thing.

However, a ruthless glint flashed in Lu Junhe's eyes as he approached her step by step.

Ye Lan swallowed nervously.

Lu Junhe asked directly, "Where is she?"

"I'm going to check the surveillance footage now. You'd better not find out that your disappearance is related to hers."

Watching the man stride into the hotel, Ye Lan's legs went weak. She ran towards the kitchen while calling to her male colleague to hurry up and release him.

Lu Junhe's tone didn't sound like he was joking.

The cold storage was bone-chilling; Qu Yun's limbs were almost numb and stiff.

Knowing no one would open the door for her, she forced her frozen body to follow the cold storage's wiring and pipes, eventually finding the external power supply connector.

Seizing the opportunity, Qu Yun cut off the power supply to the cold storage facility with her bare hands.

The air conditioner stopped with a loud bang.

The skills she learned from the electrician when she was sixteen were not wasted.

Fortunately, this cold storage unit is an older model.

The heavy lock on the warehouse door came loose due to the power outage.

Panting heavily from the cold, Qu Yun pushed open the cold storage door and staggered out of the damp warehouse.

As soon as she steadied herself, she caught a glimpse of a chainsaw leaning against a pile of clutter in the corner, covered in a thin layer of dust. Its metal body gleamed with a cold, hard light as it sat there quietly.

Ye Lan and her male colleague ran to the entrance of the cold storage, only to find the door open but no one inside.

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, they heard the sound of high heels in the darkness.

The male colleague pressed the switch on the wall, and the light turned on.

Qu Yun stood in the light, her black hair disheveled and her pale cheeks flushed with a sickly red. A sharp and ruthless edge emanated from her eyes, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Qu Yun gripped the chainsaw handle tightly with her slender white hands. Looking at the man and woman in front of her, she suddenly exerted force with her fingertips and pulled hard on the chainsaw's starter cord.

"Buzz—"

A piercing roar suddenly erupted, and the saw chain began to spin rapidly.

Ye Lan's scalp tingled, and the hairs on her body stood on end: "You... what do you want to do?"

Qu Yun slightly raised her chin, her eyes gleaming with a broken, crazed glint as she approached, holding the chainsaw close. "You're the ones who locked me up, aren't you?"

"Just because I don't speak up or refuse doesn't mean I'm easy to bully?"

The sharp saw chain slashed through the air with a chilling light, its power terrifying to the extreme.

Ye Lan was so frightened that she lost all her former arrogance and screamed as she dodged in all directions.

She kept screaming in terror, fearing that she would be swept away by Qu Yun's chainsaw at any moment.

Qu Yun's eyes were bloodshot as she swung the chainsaw again and again. "Try messing with me. I'm a madwoman. If you want to kill me, I'll take you to hell with me."

Several times, the chainsaw nearly swung at Qu Yun's neck, but she didn't let go.

Lu Junhe rushed over after watching the surveillance footage.

His eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the out-of-control, frenzied Qu Yun before him.

Qu Yun turned around, their eyes met, and she froze.

A pathetic, insane, and utterly ugly side.

And yet, this man saw it again.

Lu Junhe's Adam's apple bobbed as he soothed, "Qu Yun, put down what you're holding."

"It's very dangerous."

Qu Yun didn't know how she left the hotel alone.

The night wind was bleak, and the lake surface rippled with a cool, clear light.

She bent down, took off her exquisite high heels, and held them in her hand, walking barefoot on the cool pebble path.

The figure walking slowly forward step by step was stretched long and lonely by the night.

Lu Junhe must think that the four years she spent with him were all an act of gentleness and obedience.

Essentially, she was like a madwoman with a mental illness.

Knowing that no one would like this side of her, she tried to hide it again and again, but it was still discovered by the person she least wanted to find out.

Qu Yun sniffed, her nose feeling sore.

Forget it, she doesn't need anyone's affection.

It would be best if Lu Junhe just hated her like that.

Then stay far away from her and never see her again.

Qu Yun's phone rang once in her bag, but she wasn't in the mood to take it out and look at it.

Immediately afterwards, the phone rang several more times in a row, without stopping.

Qu Yun finally took out her phone and opened the work group chat, which was full of unread messages.

"Did you know the hotel was vandalized?!"

"I heard it was the young master of the Lu family who did it..."

"Lu Junhe?"

"My God, has he been drinking or something? How can rich people be so crazy? Are we even supposed to go to work tomorrow?"

Qu Yun frowned, her fingertips sliding down, and she saw photos of the scene secretly taken by her colleague on duty.

The hotel lobby was in a mess, with upscale tables and chairs overturned, glass cabinets shattered, and bottles scattered all over the floor.

Lu Junhe stood in the center of the hall, his back view radiating a fierce aura.

Qu Yun couldn't see what kind of expression the man had.

The phone screen gradually went dark after a period of inactivity.

Instead, the streetlights came on.

Qu Yun looked up and saw the man standing under the tree.

The fierce aura around him had long since dissipated, leaving only an unyielding melancholy. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were dark and deep, with a faint hint of red in their depths.

Ah, so that's what kind of expression it is.

Melodies and thoughts.

Lu Junhe walked towards her and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you hurt?"

He seemed unaware that his hand was bleeding.

Qu Yun's eyes were stung by the bright red stain. She demanded, "Why did you vandalize the hotel? Do you know how much trouble this will cause others?"

"Are you just too eager to be a hero, or are you just indulging in self-pity?"

Despite Qu Yun's vicious words, Lu Junhe continued to walk towards her.

She was so angry that she threw her bag at the man and punched him in the chest. "I really hate you, I hate you the most, I despise you."

So please, stay away from people like her!

Suddenly, Qu Yun was embraced.

Ignoring her struggles and shoving, Lu Junhe reached out and steadily embraced her slender body, pulling her into his arms.

His chin rested gently on the top of Qu Yun's head, his voice low and deep: "Qu Yun, it's alright."

"Say it if you're in pain, don't say the opposite of what you mean."

Qu Yun was instantly drained of all her strength.

She let the man in front of her hold her.

Her eyes reddened, and she asked, "How should I say it?"

Lu Junhe loosened his grip slightly and looked down at her, puzzled.
