Revenge Sevenfold-Chapter 29 Running Away?

A knock on the door interrupted her reverie, and Hui Yin scrambled to open it, the towel wrapped around her shoulders.

"Yes, who—"

The moment she pushed the door open, Hui Yin's expression froze immediately.

Standing outside the doorway was a tall and handsome man dressed in a slim-fitting charcoal suit, looking like an olden day emperor. The gaze he directed at her was darker than the night sky behind him, making Hui Yin instinctively shiver.

"Lu...Shen..."

Bang—

Hui Yin slammed the door hard on his face, her mind going blank with shock.

I just thought of him...

And he instantly appeared?!

Her heart was beating hard, racing inside her ribcage like a Ferghana horse. Beads of sweat were trickling down Hui Yin's forehead, her mind desperately flipping through Sun Tzu's Thirty-Six Stratagems, wondering if there was a tactic she could use to survive after slamming the door on the Great Dragon King.

Wait at leisure while the enemy labors?

Won't work, the enemy is already here!

Sacrifice the plum tree to preserve the peach tree?

But I don't want to preserve the peach tree!

Hui Yin bit her lip, and caught sight of her bedside lamp.

Forget Sun Tzu, let's go for ZaoZuo!

Just as she was about to make a run for her chosen weapon, the door cracked open, and Lu Shen entered.

Hui Yin nearly fainted.

I—

I forgot to lock the door!

With just one look at his face, Hui Yin was immediately scared out of her wits.

Letting out a small whimper, she backed away slowly with her shaky legs.

Help—

Without meaning to, Hui Yin had retreated to the corner where the bedside lamp was located.

However, just as her fingers curled around the lamp base, Lu Shen pinned her with his icy-cold gaze. Her small apartment was suddenly submerged in a pool of ice, and Hui Yin could almost see the staircase to hell behind him.

Buddha, Guanyin, Wangmu Niangniang, save me—Hui Yin howled deep in her heart.

"Running away?"

His low and deep voice was like a shackle of chains that imprisoned her soul, making Hui Yin unable to move. She could only watch with wide eyes as Lu Shen came closer and closer...

Hui Yin took another step back.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Hearing how her voice trembled, Hui Yin bit her bottom lip.

Lu Shen moved forward, putting his hand on her waist.

His hoarse voice lingered in her ears like a caress, "What do you think I'm going to do?"

Hui Yin stared up at him speechlessly.

How would I know?

That's why I asked you!

Lu Shen gazed at the clueless girl in his arms, her small face revealing an expression of being wronged. He had postponed all of his meetings to come to her apartment and ask her to become his secretary again.

But who would have thought that before he could even open his mouth, this girl would slam the door on his face.

Thinking of this, his expression became unsightly. Lu Shen pulled Hui Yin close and pinned her against the wall.

Hui Yin stared, her eyes wide.

But her lips were sealed before she could say anything.
