Chapter 1529 - 1528: Speak Freely

At present, Lu Yu really doesn't know what to say to Leng Qingqiu. In the past years, he has had little contact with matters of love between infatuated men and resentful women, so now facing Leng Qingqiu's inquiry, Lu Yu truly doesn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Since that's the case, then just answer me directly."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu's eyes fixated on Lu Yu in front of him as he opened his mouth to question, "The things you've done for me before, is it because you have me in your heart, or because you're fulfilling the contract's obligation!?"

Leng Qingqiu's usual aloofness and keeping people at a distance suddenly dispersed at this moment; now he was no longer the distant female executive. He seemed more like a girl angry at her boyfriend, without the previous chilling aura that kept others far away.

Lu Yu constantly protected Leng Qingqiu and handled all the troubles she encountered. Previously, Lu Yu shielded, cherished, and consoled her like a mountain guarding her side, which deeply moved Leng Qingqiu.

It's precisely because of this that Leng Qingqiu now asks Lu Yu such a question. This is also the question lingering in Leng Qingqiu's heart.

Now, Leng Qingqiu wants to know if Lu Yu's actions towards him were honestly fulfilling the contract's obligation, or if he truly held Leng Qingqiu within his heart.

"Contract..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu looked at Leng Qingqiu in front of him as he started speaking.

"Bastard!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu shouted coquettishly, while suddenly swinging a slap aimed at Lu Yu's face.

Currently, Leng Qingqiu feels an indescribable ache in his heart; now when he looks at Lu Yu in front of him, the expression in his eyes is extremely complex.

"What is it?"

Just as Leng Qingqiu's slap was about to land on Lu Yu's face, Lu Yu looked confusedly at him and asked.

"Lu Yu!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu opened his mouth to ask coldly, "What do you really mean!"

"No particular meaning."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu looked at Leng Qingqiu and spoke calmly, "What confuses me more is the contract you mentioned?"

Perhaps due to too many experiences or deliberate concealment, Lu Yu seems to have forgotten the contract that Leng Qingqiu signed with him.

"It's the contract where I had you act as my fiancé to be my shield."

Looking at the bewildered Lu Yu, Leng Qingqiu clenched his teeth and spoke. Now, he doesn't know why, but saying this fills him with an overwhelming discomfort.

Currently, Leng Qingqiu truly regrets his initial decision to establish that contract with Lu Yu.

"I have always been your fiancé, haven't I?"

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu spoke lightly, "I never took that contract seriously. Five years ago, we were already engaged, something a contract can never change."

With those words, Lu Yu's voice carried subtle smiles, giving off a playful vibe in the glance.

Buzz!

With this statement, like a gust of spring breeze, it instantaneously lifted Leng Qingqiu's depressed mood. Looking at Lu Yu, a smile irresistibly surfaced on his beautiful face.

Undeniably, women are auditory creatures; even someone like Leng Qingqiu, upon hearing Lu Yu's words, couldn't help showing traces of a smile in her eyes.

"Bastard!"

His face wearing this smile, Leng Qingqiu shouted coquettishly, then wrapped his arms around Lu Yu's neck, clinging to him.

Currently, Leng Qingqiu seemed like a little girl pouting adorably as she hung onto Lu Yu, her beautiful, exquisite face beaming with joy.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu's floral smile, Lu Yu's face also had traces of a smile. His mind couldn't help but think, "The ice mountain has melted, and Leng Qingqiu has a girlish side too."

Thinking this, Lu Yu embraced Leng Qingqiu and slowly headed inside.

...

Meanwhile, as Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu were intimately involved, Elizabeth IV sat elegantly in front of a large table in Kensington, sipping on her tea.

Her gaze lowered, her actions graceful and delicate, exuding the unique elegance of the British upper class.

Sitting before her was Heaton clad in black military attire.

Heaton carried an aura thick with smoke; she faced Elizabeth IV silently, exuding depth.

Sand!

With a soft clatter, Elizabeth IV placed her teacup down and looked at Heaton, speaking, "So, the mission this time failed?"

Elizabeth IV's voice conveyed calmness, as if she had accepted this fact.

"Yes, Her Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Heaton nodded, looked at Elizabeth IV, and said, "You don't seem as shocked by this event."

Currently, Lu Yu Heaton appeared greatly shocked by Elizabeth IV's reaction.

"Lu Yu is, after all, a senior figure in the Assassin Alliance."

Upon hearing Heaton's words, Elizabeth IV spoke indifferently, "Capturing him isn't easy."

"Thus, your failure is very normal; I never harbored high hopes for this outcome."

Elizabeth IV's voice remained composed, demonstrating the politician's unique calmness.

Upon hearing Elizabeth IV's words, Heaton's eyelids twitched as he observed her, speaking softly, "Your Majesty, there's something I wish to say, unsure if I may?"

Heaton's voice carried tranquility and resilience.

Upon hearing Heaton's words, Elizabeth IV raised an eyebrow, her gaze landing on Heaton, and after observing him, she spoke gently, "Speak without hesitation!"

Elizabeth IV's voice portrayed a sense of solemnity.
