Chapter 792 - Note

Long Jinjing found Lu Zihao’s note much later when she returned to the bedroom after taking another much-needed soak in the bathtub. She missed the small piece of paper earlier because it fell down to the floor and landed almost under the bed. Her heart skipped a beat when she picked it up.

’So he didn’t just leave without a word, after all.’

She felt a little happy at the fact that he took a moment to leave her a note. Her stomach fluttered and she felt a little giddy. When she caught herself getting carried away, she gave herself another slap in the face.

First order of business was to calm herself down. She reminded herself that what she was feeling right now was only the so-called sexual afterglow. Nothing more.

After calming down, she finally took a good look at the note and read what Lu Zihao wrote. His handwriting looked a little ugly but the strokes were strong and bold just like him. It said:

"Need to go. Didn’t want to wake you up because you’re too exhausted. Thanks for last night. Bye."

She flipped to the backside of the paper and found nothing more written other than what she read on the front. Such simple, ordinary lines.

Disappointment filled her again. Her mouth curled into a wry smile.

’Get a hold of yourself, Jinjing! Remember that it was only a one-night stand! What did you expect to receive afterwards? A bouquet of red roses and a love letter? Wake up! Lu Zihao was very clear from the beginning that he only wanted one night of fucking with you. At least, the man had the decency to write a note and not just leave after pulling up his pants like some other men after a one-night stand.’

Her pep talk to herself made her recover quickly again. Indeed, what happened between her and Lu Zihao was nothing more than a one-night stand. This confusing feeling that she had for him—crush, lust or whatever it was—shall soon pass. It definitely wasn’t love. She wasn’t some naïve, young girl.

The love of her life, her very own Mr. Right, was still out there somewhere in the world. If destiny permitted it, then she would meet her perfect match when the time was right. Now was definitely not the right time.

And her Mr. Right was most definitely NOT Mr. Yummylicious Lu Zihao. He was just Mr. Right Last Night.

She giggled.

And with that, she felt so much better. Despite her aching body, she felt almost normal after taking over-the-counter pain meds. She busied herself with her daily chores and remotely working from home.

Soon, Lu Zihao and his amazing body and bed skills were pushed into the very back of her mind.

Shadow Winds Headquarters.

A man groaned and dropped like a heavy sack of rice on the ground when Lu Zihao elbowed him on the solar plexus at the same time that he dodged a punch to his head. Lu Zihao caught the hand and twisted it, forcing the muscular woman to cry out in pain. Then he kicked the woman’s feet and she came tumbling to the ground.

Seven other people started attacking him simultaneously. He dodged and countered all of their attacks and sent out his own swift, precise strikes. His huge, muscular body moved with a fluidity that belied its size.

Moments later, all his subordinates were lying on the ground. Most of them curled their bodies and were groaning in pain while some completely lost consciousness.

Lu Zihao was the only man left standing.

"Who’s next?" he asked and looked around the training area.

It was empty. He raised an eyebrow. It seemed like he needed to toughen up his subordinates even more. How dare they run away from him when he was "training" them? This cowardice was completely unacceptable.

However, he didn’t get angry. On the contrary, he felt great.

"Sparring’s over for now," he announced. "You all need to train more. None of you even landed a single hit on me."

His subordinates—those who didn’t lose consciousness—looked utterly defeated. They hung their heads low in a subservient manner. It was clear from their pathetic poses that they held no hopes in defeating him, their boss.

Then he said, "10 grand to the first person who can land a hit on me."

The eyes of his subordinates all lit up.

He looked at them in the eyes and added, "US dollars."

Suddenly, all of them were bursting with energy again.

"Yeah! I’ll train harder starting tomorrow!"

"The 10 grand is mine!"

"Hooray for Boss Hao!"

Lu Zihao’s mouth curved into a devilish half-smile but it was gone as soon as it appeared. None of his subordinates saw that he smiled. Nevertheless, he was in a good mood deep inside as he left the training area.

The violent energy and restlessness caused by the remnant yesterday were now almost purged from his being. He had Long Jinjing to thank for that.

She was Miss Prim and Proper on the outside but once he was buried deeply inside her, the shyness was replaced by a daring wild cat. Once she got more comfortable with him, she even started riding him like a pro and almost caused him to lose his full control. Just remembering how good it felt with her was arousing him again.

If she had only lasted a little longer and didn’t pass out like the dead, then he would’ve completely purged all the remaining restless energy inside him. No matter what he did though, he couldn’t awaken her. The poor woman was exhausted. He felt smug at the fact that he was the cause of her exhaustion. Since she wouldn’t wake up, he had no choice but to let her sleep.

After writing her a note, his subordinate picked him up from her place and they drove directly to his group’s headquarters.
