Passionate Devotion

Chapter 6

I Will Take Responsibility for the Rest of Your Life

Everyone in the venue was a little shocked, including the organizers of the auction. The women could not help but lose control. They looked like they admired and respected him a lot. One-hundred million was practically nothing to him. This was no surprise at all. The women were envious of Xu Jing. Leng Yejin was willing to spend one-hundred million just to make sure that she got the jade.

Someone looked at Tong Lu’s pale face with a sympathetic expression. ‘People around her have been telling her not to fight for the jade pendant with Leng Yejin’s woman. Look, not only was she mocked by Miss Xu, but it only took one second for Leng Yejin to make sure that she would never get the pendant.’

Meanwhile, Tong Lu was so shocked that she took a few steps backwards. She sucked in a sharp breath.

‘This man…’

He sauntered into the venue in a leisurely manner, and his facial features looked just like those of her deceased husband. There was an air of coldness and arrogance about his face. Tong Lu rubbed her eyes forcefully. He emanated the kind of aura that made him look like a good man and an evil man at the same time. It was exactly what she had felt when she first met her deceased husband. He was dangerous and powerful, and it was as if every single being in the world had no choice but to fall to their knees and worship him.

Was he Professor Shuo? It was impossible! Professor Shuo had passed away a long time ago. She was the one who had organized his funeral.

Who was he, then? Tong Lu had no idea. He walked closer and closer to her...

She could not help it, her whole body was trembling, and she had stopped breathing altogether.

He did not spare her a glance. He walked past her and everyone else, walked onto the stage and grabbed the jade pendant from the display cabinet. His gaze was an arrogant one, and he looked down the stage to where the audience was sitting and fixed his gaze on someone.

His gaze had fallen upon… Everyone followed his gaze and as expected, he was looking at Xu Jing.

Leng Yejin walked towards Xu Jing. His legs were long. It was hard for Xu Jing to contain her excitement. As she gazed at the man who was walking towards her, she immediately flashed her best smile and stealthily arched an eyebrow at Tong Lu to show off. She looked like the most loved woman in the world.

But things were not as simple as they seemed.

Leng Yejin walked past Xu Jing and went over to the pale-faced Tong Lu.

He was not walking quickly, but he did not even spare Xu Jing a glance, as if she was nothing but air. Xu Jing turned and looked at the man who had just walked past her in disbelief. Stunned, her face contorted.

“You, you…”

Tong Lu took a few steps backwards, but the man grabbed both her arms so that she could not go anywhere. He looked straight into her eyes, and because she was unable to flee, she had no choice but to look back at him. She did not know what he was trying to do.

She took a deep breath. There was no way for her to calm herself down at all, and it was as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat. He suddenly leaned in, and his tall and sturdy figure completely enveloped hers.

Tong Lu felt like her world had plunged into darkness. She was surrounded by nothing but an air of dominance.

Leng Yejin wrapped his arms around her neck. She immediately raised her hand to block his arms. She yelled out in surprise, “Don’t!”

Leng Yejin lowered his head to glance at her. His gaze was tremendously powerful. There was no anger in his eyes, but she could not help but to submit to his gaze.

Tong Lu no longer dared to move. It was as if someone had casted a spell on her.

She could feel the flush on her cheeks. She was terribly frightened and embarrassed at the same time… Her body was as stiff as stone.

Xu Jing’s face contorted when she saw what was happening. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. Who was this woman? Xu Jing clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles turned pale. She really wanted to shred Tong Lu to pieces right now!

After only a few seconds, Leng Yejin took a step backward. He stared at Tong Lu’s neck with his powerful orbs. He seemed satisfied with what he had done.
