Chapter 302 - Not the first time (2/2)

”Just answer my one question, Xiaolu. If today someone else would have kidnapped you and not me, what do you think your condition would be?” Long Xun asked.

”Not all men are good, Xiaolu. You are a woman, you are beautiful. I know I am being harsh but the reality is cruel. A woman like you would have been tortured, assaulted, violated, and killed even before your husband could come and save you.”

Li Xiaolu was silent.

”What is the use of having so much of wealth, influence, and power when you can't protect your own wife? What is the use of being the top leading business and an heir to one of the influential families when you can't provide safety to your own wife? What is the use of being in the marriage when your husband can't even protect you? Xiaolu, do you have any answer to this?” Long Xun asked.

Li Xiaolu didn't say anything. She looked at the ground as she quietly listened to every word this man said against Zhang Zhehan.

Seeing that she didn't have an answer to his question, Long Xun sighed. This is what love does. When you love someone, you can't even see any faults or problems with that person. Love blinds people. It is a drug that you cannot get rid of no matter how hard you try.

”I know you can't answer my questions now but Xiaolu, think about it. You - ”

”Long Xun...” Li Xiaolu whispered.

”What?” Long Xun was startled.

”You are Long Xun!” Li Xiaolu stated as she looked up straight into his eyes firmly. She was sure that he was Long Xun, that person who saved her from the goons. She was so shocked by this sudden discovery. This person who kidnapped her, who claimed that he loved her was her newfound friend that she made almost a month ago.

For almost two minutes there was complete silence inside the hall. Nobody said anything. Suddenly Long Xun laughed loudly as he removed the mask covering his face. ”Hello Xiaolu, do you miss this friend of yours?” he asked.

”It's really you!” Li Xiaolu said as she looked at his handsome face.

”Why? Why did you kidnap me?” Li Xiaolu asked.

”There are a lot of reasons. One is that I love you. Second is that I hate Zhang Zhehan. Trust me Xiaolu, he is not a good person.” Long Xun smiled.

”Long Xun I considered you my friend.” Li Xiaolu said.

Long Xun nodded, ”You are my friend Xiaolu. Don't worry, I love you but I won't trap you here as your psycho lover although I really want to.”

”I don't want to force you to be my lover. I want your willingness.” he chuckled. Looking at the window he snorted, ”Before nine o'clock Zhang Zhehan would be here to get you.”

”Then why kidnap me?” Li Xiaolu asked.

”I hate Zhang Zhehan. So in your love story, I am the villain and he is the hero. As they show in movies and novels, the villain goes to the hero but in my case it is different. I want Zhang Zhehan to come to my doorstep.” Long Xun smiled.
