Chapter 41

41 Ch. 41 Anxia’s Wavering Emotion

It wouldn’t matter if this guy took his face as he could activate his stealth program.

The Stealth program was a designed program chip that would instantly detect Richard, Raymond, and Harmonie’s faces on various electronic devices. Once activated, this stealth would delete all photos of the three of them while sending a virus that destroyed the system programs that tried to research them.

On the other hand, the stealth had not recognized Lori as Richard forgot to put Lori’s data on it. So it’s better if Lori’s face didn’t spread out first, considering that Anxia has also tried to hide their daughter’s whereabouts.

“Lori, did mommy give you another secret code today?”

Lori’s mouth fell wide open at her father’s question. How did her father know that her mother had given her the secret code?

“How did you know?”

He was already wondering why his daughter had clung to him so much over the last few minutes. Whereas previously, his daughter was eager to matchmake him with Anxia, ??but now Lori clung to him, and Anxia seemed to be avoiding them in silence.

Not only that, his wife looked unfocused and didn’t look as excited as usual. Especially when he stole the opportunity by kissing the girl’s lips, Anxia didn’t get angry or beat him up.

There was definitely something wrong, and his suspicions grew stronger when he sensed someone was trying to take their photo secretly.

.....

Qiao Anxia, ??when will you decide to quit your job? Richard asked in his heart. If his wife had asked for his help and were willing to abandon her vocation, Richard would not hesitate to do everything in his power to remove Anxia’s tracks from her enemies.

Unfortunately... Anxia still didn’t want to stop before her feelings of vengeance were satisfied.

Anxia washed her face with cold water in the sink in the bathroom. She took a deep breath while closing her eyes to calm her stormy heart.

She did it several times before finally, her heart started beating normally. Anxia opened her eyes and saw a pair of sharp eyes filled in the mirror, staring straight back at her with extraordinary determination.

In this world, the only person who could make her restless every night was Master Yu. That person was able to do anything to get what he wanted... including her.

If there were no Lori in her life, Qiao Anxia would not have to worry and could do anything fearlessly. Either stay with master Yu or run away from the man. She wasn’t afraid of death either because Anxia didn’t care about her life.

There was only one goal, and that was her avenging. She planned to ruin those who had destroyed her family and suffer for the rest of their lives. She didn’t care if she died in the middle of her plan.

But that changed when Lori appeared in her life. The angel-like girl was like a small light in her dark world. Anxia used to have no fear, but now she had. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to meet Lori and feared that the only light and her family would leave her.

If Master Yu finds out that her sole weakness is Lori, that man will use any means to kidnap her daughter. If one wanted to control a Qiao Anxia who never failed to kill a target, then the only way was to restrain her daughter.

And right now, the one holding her daughter as ‘hostage’ was Richard. That’s why Richard was able to restrain her and make her do what he wanted. The difference was that Richard’s attitude and behavior towards her were still acceptable and Richard’s intention to control her was for Lori’s sake.

Just imagine if master Yu held Lori. Anxia didn’t even want to think about it.

Two pairs of black eyes intertwined with the same sharp glint. No matter what, Anxia would not let Lori fall into master Yu’s hands. Whether she admitted it or not, it was better for her to be under Richard’s control than to be controlled by master Yu. At least she could still handle all of Richard’s cunning and see her daughter laughing happily with her.

Will she have to forget her mother and live an ordinary girl’s life as Richard’s wife?

Or will she continue his revenge plan? After all, sooner or later, she wouldn’t be able to hide Lori’s growing presence.

She could leave Lori and entrust her to Richard and focus on finding her mother and continuing his revenge plot.

She was afraid of losing her daughter, but at least she knew Lori would live safely and happily with Richard. She would be fine if she knew her daughter was still alive in this world.

Right. Anxia could leave her daughter and husband.

But why was there a voice in her mind telling her to stay?

Once again, Anxia looked at her reflection in the mirror and saw her face wet from the water.

‘You are Qiao Anxia, and you are a murderer. Your goal in this life is simply to get rid of all those who have made you suffer.’

Anxia convinced herself not to hesitate any longer and made a decision immediately. But some recollections shook her decision again.

‘You know why we named you Anxia? Because you were born in summer, and summer is our favorite season.’

‘Ah, but I think Xia Xia suits you better. Don’t you think?’

‘Xia Xia’

Xia Xia... Strangely, why did she hear her husband’s voice calling out to her?

Why did she feel her chest tingle whenever he called her like that?

Xia Xia was the name her parents called her... and only Richard called her the same way her parents did.

Since Master Yu changed her surname to Qiao Anxia, s??he was more commonly known as Qiao Qiao. Never once had anyone called her Anxia or Xiao Xia, let alone Xia Xia. It had been ages ago to the point that she had already forgotten her name.

Yet, strangely, Richard could bring a nostalgic feeling with his gentle tone.

Why? Why was that man being nice to her?
