The Devil who devoured Snow White

311 Don't let her out of your sight

Since Lu Mengjic was permitted to visit Spider during his recovery period, she didn't waste the chance to form a plan with him. Once Spider could finally stand and walk on his own, Cecilia was going to help them to get out of the place. That was their plan and hopefully, things would end well for them.

Lu Mengjie was currently in the basement, checking out on Spider. Two days had passed since she had signed the divorce papers. During those days, she had received a notification from Cecilia that her divorcement with Yong Liwei was instantly processed.

She couldn't help but wonder why Yong Liwei would easily give up their marriage just like that. Why would he allow Cian to break their marriage just like that? Did he fly back to the mainland? She had been waiting for someone to save her. As much as she disliked the idea of having that divorce, she had to keep it all to herself.

What mattered the most was to focus on how to escape Cian and his men. It was a good thing that Cian ordered his men to stop torturing Spider. All she had to do was what he wanted in the meantime if she wanted to live.

After visiting Spider, she climbed out of the basement only to meet Cecilia, with another unfamiliar man behind her.

"There you are. I was looking for you," Cecilia said as she began approaching her. "By the way, meet Jade, the guard assigned to you. I have already talked about this with my brother and he has given you permission to roam around the place as long as you have Jade by your side."

Why would Cecilia have someone guard her? It would be harder to escape if someone was following her! Lu Mengjie couldn't help but furrow her brows as she cast her eyes towards the man behind Cecilia. It was then that she noticed something.

That height and scent, along with that body figure, she was quick to notice something strange about the man standing before her. She clenched her hands into fists the moment she met the man's dark cycs.

Yong Liwei.

She could not be mistaken with it. It was something she was sure about especially when Han Yizhou had used this trick back then when he became her bodyguard during the time when Bai Keran had his eyes on her.

The hyper-realistic silicone mask made it harder for anyone to recognize him in his disguise but Lu Mengjie was able to recognize his scent just like back then. It was the same perfume he had always been using. His body figure perfectly matched her husband's.

Lu Mengjie tried her best to fight the urge to run to him and embrace him. Tears welled up in her eyes but she held them back with all she had.

Cecilia opened her mouth, snapping the other woman out of her thoughts when she said, "Jade doesn't have the ability to talk. He only listens to me and my brother so don't even try anything funny. I hope you'll behave and won't make any trouble now that you have been given permission to walk around, even go outside. Remember, don't take advantage of my brother's kindness if you don't want his anger to fall on you"

Lu Mengjie could not even say a word, her lips trembled and her voice didn't come out. Instead, she kept staring into the man's dark gaze. Her heartbeat kept increasing its pace, pounding hard as each second passed by.

Just like her, the man didn't do anything but stare into her eyes. He didn't even try to blink away. Cecilia cleared her throat just to get their attention once again. "Anyway, I have other things to do." She turned towards the man with them. "Don't let her out of your sight. You'll be dead if you do."

With that, Cecilia took her leave. She didn't want to stay longer especially when she knew how much the two longed for each other.

"I..." Lu Mengjie's voice quivered when she managed to let out a word. She closed her mouth and lightly bit her lower lip before she continued. "I want to go out."

The man nodded and took a step aside, allowing her to lead the way.

Lu Mengjic knew that they could not even reconcile properly since the house was full of surveillance cameras. With Virus in control of it, just like Kuro, he would instantly notify Cian about any strange movements.

And so, she walked past him and finally headed out of the place. Cold breeze hit her face the moment she stepped out of the mansion. Few men were walking around, some glanced at her, some ignored her.

Lu Mengjie eyed the tall gate a few meters away from the building, "Can I go out?" She turned to her new bodyguard.

The man took a cuff out of his pocket and cuffed her wrist together with his before he nodded at her.

Her eyes landed at the cuffs around their wrists that connected them. Cecilia must have suggested this to her brother. No wonder Cian allowed her to roam around and go out of the house. She wouldn't be able to run away like this.

Sighing, she turned away and looked for CCTV. When she found one, she raised her middle finger at it before she walked towards the gate, dragging the man she recognized as her husband.

The gatekeeper didn't stop them when he saw the couple walking towards him. He opened the gate for them.

By the time Lu Mengjie went out, she was quick to notice that they were surrounded by trees. Except for the roadway, tall trees loomed all around. They were far from the city alright.

As Lu Mengjie entered the forest, by the time they were out of sight from the gate wall, she was pulled against a hard chest. In an instant, she felt sparks run down her body the moment the man's lips came crashing down against hers.

"Mengjic..." He whispered through the kiss.
