Chapter 982 - Pay Attention to Prenatal Education

As Lu Chengzhou got into Gu Mang’s car, Jiangsui greeted him respectfully, “Young Master Lu.”

Lu Chengzhou nodded and turned to Gu Mang. “What brings you here?”

Instead of answering him, Gu Mang ordered Jiangsui to drive back to the villa.

“Understood.” Jiangsui turned on the car’s engine and drove off with Lu Yī’s car following behind.

Lu Chengzhou stared fixedly at Gu Mang. “Don’t you believe me?”

“I do.” Gu Mang turned her head slightly to face him, her dark eyes looking bright and clear.

Lu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow at that. “Your actions don’t match your words.”

“I really do believe in you,” said Gu Mang impassively. Although she did believe that he wouldn’t do any dealings with Leng Xuan, she was afraid that he might settle the problem using other methods.

Lu Chengzhou stared right into her eyes for a couple of seconds before breaking out into a smile. “Alright, then what are you doing here?”

Gu Mang’s voice sounded indifferent as she looked away to check her phone’s messages. “I have nothing to do.”

What a lame reason.?Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “What if I strike a deal with Leng Xuan?”

“You won’t,” replied Gu Mang without the slightest bit of hesitation.

The grin on Lu Chengzhou’s face spread wider when he saw how much she trusted him. “But what if I did?”

Gu Mang looked at him, and vice versa.

It was the first time Lu Chengzhou had seen such a look on Gu Mang’s face. Her eyes were so black that they seemed like Death itself. He watched a smirk slowly appear on her face as her expression turned wicked and sinister.

She asked lightly, “Have you seen me kill someone?”

At that moment, Lu Chengzhou suddenly felt that he had shot himself in the foot by asking that question.

All along, Gu Mang had always been acting frivolous and careless in front of Lu Chengzhou. Although she still looked like she wasn’t easy to be trifled with, she had always kept her murderous aura in check. This was because she was afraid that he would find out about her past. But now, he had already found out everything about her, be it things he should or shouldn’t know.

She leaned towards him while staring into his eyes. “I’ll kill you. My hands are stained with blood anyway. Taking one more life won’t make any difference.”

At his silence, she cocked an eyebrow and let out a throaty chuckle. “Don’t be scared. As long as you keep your virtues, you’ll be safe.”

Lu Chengzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed. It seemed that he wanted to say something but decided to stay silent out of fear that Gu Mang might give him another fatal blow.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Time seemed to pass slowly as they continued their staring game. Lu Chengzhou was the first to break the stare. He looked down to take a vacuum flask from the car’s drink holder before unscrewing it. As he handed the flask to Gu Mang, he said in a serious manner, “Don’t be so bloodthirsty. You need to pay attention to prenatal education.”

Prenatal education…?Jiangsui’s lips twitched as he looked into the rearview mirror to see Gu Mang lazily leaning against Lu Chengzhou and taking the flask from him.

Gu Mang’s eyes shone with laughter as she sipped the drink. “What did Leng Xuan say to you?”

The mention of this serious business made Lu Chengzhou put his mixed emotions aside. The hand that was holding onto the flask cover rested on the armrest as he repeated what Leng Xuan said about Base 102, word for word.

Gu Mang smiled meaningfully. “She said that my parents caused the deaths of the Base 102 researchers and the juniors of the various clans?”

“Yes, do you believe her?”

“No,” answered Gu Mang with a shake of her head. She knew very little about her parents, but based on the fact that Leng Xuan claimed that she returned to Jijing Island to destroy Base 102 and used the medicine prescription to sow discord in her relationship with Lu Chengzhou, she believed none of Leng Xuan’s words.
