Chapter 340 Trusted

"He's lying." Jiang Yue murmured the moment Gideon disappeared from her sight. "He's lying," she repeated her words. This time, it was louder, more pronounced.

Seeing this, Fu Jin walked towards her and silently took her in his embrace. Everything was getting too complicated that both of them did not know who to believe anymore.

He slowly stroked her back, instantly making her feel comforted. "Everything will be alright," he said gently before scooping her into his arms.

Fu Jin let out a small smile the moment Jiang Yue hooked her arms into his neck and buried her face on his chest. She must have been too tired, he thought. With these in mind, Fu Jin called for someone to clean their room and change the sheets and went to one of the guest rooms in the mansion.

Then he slowly laid Jiang Yue into the bed and went to the bathroom to prepare a bath for her. In Fu Jin's mind, her wife needs a simple warm bath to relax and think about everything.

After making sure that the water was warm enough, he went back to fetch Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue, on the other hand, could only smile as Fu Jin started taking off her clothes and have her put on a robe. Then once again, he scooped her up and slowly brought her into the bathroom. Without saying a thing, he then took off her robe and carefully transfered her into the tub.

"Hmm." Jiang Yue closed her eyes as she let the heat soak into her skin.

Not too long after she started soaking her skin, Jiang Yue noticed that Fu Jin light some scented candles before turning off the light. Instantly making her feel calmer. Then a slow soothing music reached ears.

She could only smile as Fu Jin kissed her forehead before leaving her alone. Jiang Yue was not the type of woman who liked to be pampered too much. Yet, at this point, his actions instantly made her feel a little better, a little warmer.

She watched as the steam started to build up and first wonder what kind of oil essentials did her husband used in the water. Jiang Yue instantly made a mental note to ask Fu Jin to do this to her often. After all, a woman no matter how strong still needs moments like this with her loved one.

The thought of love one only made Jiang Yue frowned. She can't help but think back about the note that she received, telling her not to trust anyone. Was that message directed for her mother? Or was there someone else near here that should not be trusted?

Right now, Jiang Yue can't help but doubt everyone around him. Of course, this does not include Fu Jin. This is partly because she loved him and partly because he is just like her. Someone who was brought back to life by some miracles.

Miracles.

Yes, that is what she needed lately.

Gideon's presence just made everything more complicated, more chaotic. It was as if the man opened a new door towards uncertainty, towards an unknown location that Jiang Yue was afraid to go.

At this point, Jiang Yue could only question everything. Including her mother's words. She remembered Gideon mentioned that her mother faked her death to get away from her father. This statement alone made Jiang Yue question her mother's purpose of getting close to her father.

She told her, she did not know who he is. She told her it was Li Qiang who informed her about her father's identity, making her leave and ran away.

But why was she even with her father in the first place? Is it true that she was trained to infiltrate organizations? If she is the… is it possible that she was infiltrating an organization when she met her father? Is it possible that Wang Ruo got into bigger trouble because she fell in love with Jiang Yue's father?

Jiang Yue thought that there is a very high possibility that this is what happened or else why would she run away from her father?

However, there is also a possibility that her mother was infiltrating the Li Family. She must have thought that the person who she fell in love was just a normal member of the Li Family and got devastated when he was someone important.

But the question is… just who is her father? And why would a king do this in his stead? Was he someone more important than the king?

Jiang Yue shook her head when the possibility of the king being her father came into her mind. That's impossible. Or is it?

What about Li Qiang? What is his role in all this complicated mess? Li Qiang was obviously someone from the Li Family. So what does he want with Fu Jin's list? Is he planning to infiltrate the Kim Family who ruled the black market in M Country?

Jiang Yue let out a long sigh as her mind started to consider the possibility of going to M Country once and for all to ask the king about her father. In Jiang Yue's mind, if she could meet her father then she could ask him the things that would keep her up in the next few nights.
