Chapter 989: Why Did He Have Such Dreams?

Quan Jingzhou couldn’t breathe. He reached out in fear, wanting to stop her. “Lin Yue, no… help…”

“Help you? Who will help me, then? Jingzhou, when you abandoned me, I was in much more pain than you are now. You abandoned me and our son. What right do you have to appear in front of me again? Don’t you think you deserve to die?” Lu Xian slowly retreated, merging with the fiery roses behind her. The blood-colored roses wrapped around her body, making her look even more beautiful and melancholic.

Quan Jingzhou wanted to deny it. He wanted to argue that things were not as Lu Xian had imagined.

However, Quan Jingzhou was powerless to struggle. His vision darkened and he lost consciousness.

“Jingzhou, Jingzhou, wake up!”

Quan Jingzhou suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he was not in the rose garden, but in his room.

He was currently strangling himself with both hands. He was the one suffocating himself.

In front of his bed stood the real Lu Xian.

Lu Xian seemed to be frightened by him. She looked at him anxiously and said, “Are you alright? I suddenly heard you shouting outside the door just now. When I came in, I saw you strangling yourself and begging for mercy. You scared me to death!”

Quan Jingzhou sat up, panting heavily. He coughed twice and realized that his pajamas were drenched. He looked especially pathetic. “I had a nightmare that you left me. Lu Xian, I’m too scared of losing you.”

Lu Xian smiled gently and threw herself into his arms. “Is that so? Did you dream of me just now? What was I like in your dream?”

“You were so young and beautiful. Lu Xian, promise me that you won’t leave me. I love you.” Quan Jingzhou held her arms with both hands and smiled.

“I am that beautiful in your dream? Really?” With that, Lu Xian suddenly stretched out her hands. Her hands turned into rose vines again and wrapped around his neck.

Crack!

Quan Jingzhou could clearly hear the sound of his neck being broken.

“Ah!” This time, Quan Jingzhou woke up for real. He sat up on his bed. Afraid that he was still in a dream, he slapped himself.

There was a sharp smack and a burning feeling on his cheek.

“Damn it, why would I have such a dream?” Quan Jingzhou exhaled gloomily and tried his best to calm down.

It was all fake. In reality, Lu Xian still didn’t recall anything. She still loved him!

Quan Jingzhou’s pajamas were already drenched in sweat. He looked at the sky and realized that it was still early. He got up to take a shower.

15 minutes later, Quan Jingzhou walked out of the bathroom. He still couldn’t suppress the frustration stifling his heart.

Although he knew that the dream was fake, he still felt uneasy.

“Ring ring ring—”

Just as Quan Jingzhou was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang.

He walked to the bed and picked it up. “What’s the matter?”

The secretary’s terrified voice came from the other end of the line. “Sir, something bad has happened! Last night, someone anonymously released five scandals about the Quan Corporation. It has already caused a huge ripple…”
