My Mysterious Husband

Kerry Ye didn’t believe his nonsense and continued to ask, “But why do I get the feeling that you’re stalling? And, you asked me to think it through in this morning, don’t you want to give a further explanation about it to me, President Chu?”

Xuan Chu said blankly, “Nothing. I just want to remind you to get it straight so that you won’t regret it in the future.”

“Why?”

“Kerry, you never know. Indeed, I appreciate you saving Yan Chu’s life with the treasure map. But what if you didn’t like her anymore? Won’t you regret your choice?”

Kerry stared at him and said to him as well as to himself, “Xuan, I’ve ever had eyes for her. Even if my love faded one day, I won’t regret it. Because to others, the map may be a fortune, but to me, it’s just a map but nothing.”

At these words, Xuan cast a surprised glance at him. Couldn’t believe that there would be someone totally indifferent to a huge treasure!

“Kerry, you can’t convince me. Or maybe you know that it’s a fake map so……”

He seemed to have guessed his response and interrupted him directly, “Look, Xuan, I don’t know whether it is true or not. As for the rest, you can believe or not, but I don’t want to explain. The only thing I want to do is to save Yan.”

Xuan was lost in thought. Wasn’t it in vain if their great efforts were returned by a mere fake map?

At this moment, the waiter served them two bowls of beef noodles, and Kerry took the one without peppers and tucked into it.

After living with Venus Mu for a long time, he changed his taste into the one akin to hers and began to dislike pepper as well.

He felt better after stuffing his empty belly with a bowl of noodles. Kerry paid for it, then he said and was ready to going out, “Come on, time’s limited.”

The temperature went higher as the sun’s ray became stronger, getting beads of sweat on his forehead. Kerry bent down to take a cigarette out of the car, lit it, and calmed his mind down in the puffs.

By then, he could stop the time to save Venus as well as keep the map. But it was too dangerous for that there must have been under surveillance. Fat chance at killing all of them, after all. What’s more, Venus had forbidden him from killing others.

Xuan finally came out as he almost finished the cigarette.

The two guys were on the road again. The car compass freed Kerry of guiding the direction, so he tilted his head to look out the window with dashing eyebrows wrinkled in anxiety.

It just occurred to him that the kidnappers, luckily, proposed this meeting during the daytime because the mask on Venus’s face won’t work anymore tonight, and once found out that she was his wife after seeing her face and taking an investigation, they would no doubt hold all the cards.

He didn’t want to place her in such a predicament.
