"Then… I saw her back…"
Qin Chu didn't speak; he just wiped the tears from Huo Mian's face gently.
"I saw many scars on her back… There are so many. It was a shocking sight."
Huo Mian's voice shook as if she was reliving the scene.
Qin Chu was not surprised. After all, Lu Yan had been a mercenary for years and couldn't remain unscathed.
Not long ago, she had been sieged in a cold storage room by Ian and his men and almost died together with them.
"Lu Yan is a mercenary and lives her life dealing with danger each day. When she fights with people, does a killing mission, and gets hunted down, she can't always get away unscathed," Qin Chu explained patiently.
"Honey, she's only 20 years old. In our country, girls at her age are in college and date boyfriends in pretty clothes or go out to have fun with their good friends. But Yan…" More tears gushed out.
