Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous

Chapter 670 - 675: Murong Jialan VS Lou Xining 12

Wearing a brand new short-sleeved t-shirt, denim shorts.

It felt a bit oversized, making Alan look even more petite.

She looked sullenly at the TV in front of her, which was broadcasting the Murong Family’s charity event live.

The host was just talking about the reason for the absence of the Murong Family’s eldest daughter, Murong Jialan, when Alan impatiently turned off the TV.

"All they know is to report on other people’s family affairs, what’s so interesting about that?"

Lou Xining, holding a clean towel, walked over to Alan and sat down beside her, tossing it onto her head.

"Dry yourself." He then responded to her earlier comment, "It’s their job, if they don’t report on you, how are they going to make a living?"

Alan’s hair was still wet, she hadn’t intended to dry it, but unexpectedly Lou Xining threw a towel at her.

Having no choice, she symbolically dabbed at her hair, looking at Lou Xining with her big, red, swollen eyes from crying, "So you’ve long gotten used to living a life under constant scrutiny?"

If she didn’t bicker with Lou Xining for a moment, Alan would feel uncomfortable all over.

Lou Xining didn’t mind Alan’s tone, he just looked at her swollen eyes, his gaze darkening.

"Since when did you start being unable to recognize faces?"

"..." Alan remained silent, her expression turning a bit ugly.

She didn’t like bringing up that period of her past.

For her, it was a wound she was unwilling to touch.

Seeing that Alan didn’t want to talk, Lou Xining sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and said lightly, "Didn’t you say you wanted to cooperate? How can I help you if you don’t tell me the full story?"

After speaking, Lou Xining waited for a while, but still got no response from Alan.

He raised an eyebrow, deciding to provoke her.

He immediately stood up, making a show of heading for the door.

"Since you’re unwilling to cooperate, then let’s part ways here."

The implication was that they would no longer work together.

And his provocation did indeed work on Alan.

She thought he was really going to leave! If the person who might be able to cure her left, would she have to spend the rest of her life in misery?

Absolutely not!

"Wait!" In her moment of panic, Alan called out to stop Lou Xining.

With his back to Alan, Lou Xining indeed paused at her words.

He slowly lowered his gaze, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

Since Alan had opened her mouth, she wouldn’t hide anything anymore.

Her eyes were a bit vacant as she took a sip of hot water to calm her emotions, then she looked out the window.

The pouring rain continued.

How similar it was to that night sixteen years ago...

"I guess it started when I was five. My parents were in the seventh year of their marriage and were constantly arguing, fighting whenever they saw each other.

Dad didn’t come home every night, and Mom was so angry she cried and then returned to my grandmother’s house.

I was alone, living in a villa on the outskirts.

That night, the rain was just as heavy.

The lightning was blinding, and the thunder was terrifying.

I curled up on the big bed, quietly calling for Mommy, Mommy...

Suddenly, I heard a noise in the hallway. When I went out to check, I found..."

At that moment, another terrifying thunderclap rang out, startling Alan.

She had only said half of it, and Lou Xining, curious, urged her on.

"Found what?"

"Found..." Alan blinked, her gaze dodging for a moment before she continued, "Found that the maid who was supposed to take care of me was outside. Then, she kidnapped me... After I came back, I developed face blindness."
