Love You Truly Wholly

Without hesitation, the woman hugged him tight that he was almost out of breath. She kissed his lips feverishly, sending the man in her arms to push her away. However, he was so dizzy to a point that he could no longer exert any more energy to resist and break free from the woman's tight grip.

After a while, the man stopped struggling and accepted his fate. Next thing he knew, the woman was already beside him breathing fresh air around his face with a little bit of shyness paired with sweetness.

In an instant, he fastened the woman's whole body into his arms. Shocked, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief. Her hair was scattered at the tip of her ears, making her more charming and irresistible.

The man did not let go, nor stopped what he was doing. Nevertheless, the woman seemed to be shy to this as she had never done it before, her face reddened.

The next day, the man opened his eyes and took a clear and good look at her face. And at first glance, he knew that he would remember her face for a long time.

From then on, he could not keep his mind off her long, luscious hair which spread to his face when they made love. Also, he could not possibly forget her young-looking face which emphasized her crystal clear eyes that were as bright as the stars.

"Mr. Mond, we have investigated the case that you have given us. The person you mentioned is a new showgirl, Nancy Nie, the only daughter of the Nie Family." Charlie Zhou's voice echoed through Mond Lu's mind, making him snap back to reality.

Frowning, Mond Lu seemed to have gotten his thoughts back into the matter. But apparently, the woman's face just kept on appearing in his mind over and over again. By the looks of it, Charlie Zhou did not have the slightest idea that he had interrupted the man's daydreaming.

He just kept his composure and continued, "Her debut was known to the public for two years with the full support of the Nie Family. On the other hand, she seldom appeared in public. That's why the photos we have of her are very rare."

Meanwhile, Mond Lu sat at the back of the car and kept quiet. Instead, he stared at the pictures that Charlie Zhou gave him. Tensed, Charlie Zhou looked at Mond Lo who seemed to be in a bad mood and wondered if he should go ahead.

At that point, only silence prevailed in the car as everyone held their breaths while they all looked at Mond Lu.

As the tension inside the car got worse, Charlie started to break out cold sweat on his back. Not knowing what to do about it, he turned to Ron Li for help.

Ron Li then summoned up courage to look at Mond Lu and said, "Mr. Mond, to be honest, you can't really blame that girl for it! After all, she was just trying to save you! If it hadn't been the girl to detoxify your poisoned body by then, you would have died."

"Yeah, that's right. That girl was also very kind-hearted. Besides, she suffered great losses after all!" Charlie added.

"Wait, she suffered losses?" Upon hearing those words, Mond squinted his eyes, shooting them a dangerous look. Charlie could not help but tighten his clothes at the sight of this.

Looking at the rearview mirror, Ron saw Mond's melancholic face. He couldn't help but feel pity for that girl. The Lu Family had three sons, all of whom had grown to be dignified and outstanding in their respective fields. However, Mond was different for he was cold, aloof, and unreasonable. No one could figure Mond out due to his being temperamental.

That girl might have saved his life, but one thing was for sure - she stole his first kiss away.

Six months ago, this girl kissed Mond. Since then, he had been using all his resources to look for that girl. Rumors even spread that he was looking for her for revenge.

Meanwhile, Charlie swallowed and said, "Mr. Mond, but in my opinion..." He swallowed again to dampen his throat and continued, "The Nie Family is a notable family with the rich history of over a hundred years. They have been in the city for a long time, and gained their own powers. If we kill the family's only precious daughter, the Nie Family will surely not give up or let us live a peaceful life ever! They will even become the whole Lu Family's mortal enemy all for Nancy's sake, don't you think so?"

Meanwhile, the man sitting at the back seat suddenly raised his chin. Then, he looked at Charlie with a grave and inquiring expression as if he were a sinister monster. He asked, "Who told you that I was going to take revenge on her?"

"You're not avenging yourself, but asking her to act in front of you?"

"..."

"No? You are asking her to dance for you?"

"..."

"But of course, who can possibly dance better than Helen Han?" But before Charlie could continue, Ron already stopped him.

Mond didn't reply but looked at the raindrops that poured outside the window. There were fewer and fewer passers-by, who were walking hurriedly.

"Mr. Mond, if you don't want to take revenge, then did you do that just to have a payback?" Ron inquired curiously.

"Payback?" Suddenly, Mond raised his eyebrows as if he had heard something interesting.

While Charlie listened to their conversation, his hands slipped over the steering wheel. At that time, there was a woman in white who was running towards their car.

Under the pouring rain, her body was shown in detail. She had wet hair from being soaked in the rain, with raindrops slowly falling on her shoulders. Seeing the car stop, the woman anxiously hit the window.

"Go on! Keep driving!" Mond just glanced at the woman from outside and ordered Charlie coldly.

"Yes, sir!" Charlie nodded as a response to the command for he knew well about Mond's temper. Besides, they didn't know if it was good for them to help a stranger who stopped the car on such a rainy day. Although he sympathized with the woman, Charlie still had to follow the order and started the car for Mond's own safety.

On the other hand, the woman rushed towards the car and stayed in front of it. Luckily, Charlie was able to react quickly enough to stop the car in time.

"What the hell is going on?" Ron looked at her cautiously as he got off the car.

"How dare you hail a car right in the middle of a speeding highway!" Charlie looked out at the woman and shook his head in disbelief.

But before Ron could react, the woman quickly got inside the car. Her scent lingered in every space and made the air feel colder. When Ron was about to pull her out, the woman quickly closed the door.

Afterwards, Ron turned to look at Mond, who still had a seemingly blank face. Mond waved his hand at him, gesturing him to go back.

"I know you don't lack money, but please, I beg you. Please save me. I was being hunted down, and I have no other choice. If you save me, I will surely repay you for your kind deed." It was obvious that the woman was in panic, but her voice remained clear.

"Being hunted down?" Mond frowned and narrowed his eyes as he asked.

"I don't like girls who lie." His cold voice echoed in the car.

"I... I am actually..." The woman looked a little baffled. Her words were lingering in her mouth, but she did not say anything.

The light in the car was dim, but it was enough to show the perfect figure of the woman. Despite that she was lowering her head, it could be told that she was a young and radiant girl.

"Get out of the car now or tell the truth," Ron said deliberately as he knew what Mond was thinking of.

"No, I...I can't do that. I can't get off." The woman seemed to know that the man sitting at the back seat was not an ordinary person, and only he could persuade the others inside the car. She looked at Mond, but she was frightened by his cold eyes. In the end, she only withdrew her sight.

"Sir... Could you please help me?" the woman said in a low and shaky voice, as if a frightened bird.

Silence filled the air as nobody spoke and dared to say anything.

"Sir... Please..." the woman said with hesitation in her voice.

At that moment, silence still prevailed all throughout the space.

All of a sudden, the woman raised her face slightly. Upon seeing her, Ron took a deep breath. 'How could this woman look so much like the one in the photos?' Ron thought.

Meanwhile, Charlie looked back and said, "Sir, it's the car from the Nie Family. This is Nan..." Before he could even finish his words, he saw the man and the woman at the back seat, looking at each other affectionately.

Nancy stared at the man beside her with a flattering smile. "Sir, you have a noble appearance and a kind heart. The moment I came in, I already thought that you were a good man for you reek of that kind of aura."

"Are you kidding me? A good man, you say?" Mond found what Nancy said ridiculous. He gave a short smirk and went back to his default and calm expression almost instantly.

As a response, the woman flapped her eyelashes. She gazed at Mond with her perfectly clear eyes and said, "Yes, sir. I thought you were a good man as soon as I came here. I know there is goodness in you. And since you are a good man, you won't refuse to help me, right? Please, I beg you. If you can save me today, I will give you whatever you want.

Even if it means being your girlfriend," Nancy blurted out as she gritted her teeth.

Hearing her words, Mond's lips curved upward into a sly smile. He glanced at the woman intently with his dark eyes, making the woman take a few steps back and put her hand into the car's door.

At that moment, Nancy's mind was in a huge mess. She didn't even know whether she should go or not.

"Do you want to live or die?" threatened Nancy, as she took out a fruit knife from her bag and placed it on Mond's neck.

She didn't know what she was doing at that moment. She could even hurt her hand in peeling an apple, let alone kill someone.

Seeing this, Ron and Charlie, who were sitting in the front seats of the car, immediately took out their guns from their bags. However, Mond stopped them before they could do anything rash. Ron observed his actions and immediately thought that Mond must have had his own thoughts regarding the matter. Ron turned his head, but his eyes had always been plastered on the rear-view mirror to guard against Nancy.

"Kill me? Don't be so foolish. Do you think you can survive? Or do you think your legs are faster than the car chasing you from behind?" Mond's lukewarm voice, like an old jar of good and fine wine, echoed inside the car.

Meanwhile, Nancy's hand that held the knife could not help but tremble in fear. Even before Mond could do anything, the knife already fell onto the carriage. Sitting there like a statue, she still held the previous position.

"I... Okay, I'll tell you why I am here, but you will have to escort me out of the city." Then her eyes immediately showed sadness. She even seemed to be on the verge of bursting into tears. At that moment, her pretty face turned very miserable that no man would refuse to help her.

Mond, meanwhile, was caught off guard as he didn't know the strange feeling lingering in his heart. 'Was she trying other tricks? Could this be a honey trap? She's really an interesting girl!' Mond thought.

When Nancy saw Mond didn't take any action, she thought that she had already succeeded with her plan. With this, she pinched herself heartlessly and tears started to fall like pearls. She did look pathetic, but Mond's eyes were plastered onto the little shtick Nancy just did.

Mond squinted his eyes as he looked directly at the crying Nancy. It was strangely quiet in the carriage, and all that was heard was her sniffles from crying.

Time stood still as no one had spoken for a long time. Opening her eyes, Nancy met Mond's dangerously cold eyes that spoke indifference. Beads of cold sweat broke out in her forehead, but she could not let her nervousness take away her confidence. Soon, she mustered up her courage and said, "Sir, I'm forced to marry someone I don't even meet. Please. Can't you take pity on me?"

"Nice try. Can't you at least make up a lie that I can believe?" His voice was as hostile as before. However, there was a hint of banter in his voice. 'Is this just an illusion?' she began to wonder. In a twinkling of an eye, she saw the cruel look in Mond's eyes, and she was more sure that it was, indeed, just her illusion.

"I am not lying! How could I lie? I'm telling you nothing but the truth!" Seeing that the man did not buy her story, she tried to explain again while waving her hands in the air.

On the other hand, Ron also doubted the woman's story. As the beloved daughter of the Nie Family, several men wanted to marry her every day. But now she said she was forced to marry a stranger. How was that possible?

Afterwards, Mond took out a piece of paper and handed it over to Nancy. "Here, dry yourself with this," he said. Nancy took the paper, thanked him, and started to wipe her hair. But when she looked into his eyes this time, she noticed that something had changed.

Ron was a clever man, as he clearly understood what Mond was trying to tell them. In an instant, Ron gave Charlie a nod and the car started to go slowly along the highway.

Right after Nancy fixed her hair, she looked at Mond and continued to explain, "Sir, I'm really forced to get married! I'm telling the truth! You have no idea what I have been through. You must think that I was lying. But it's true. I am forced to marry this man in the name of Mr. Lu. What's his name? I..."

"Mond Lu."

"Yes, exactly. His name is Mond! You must know him well! He's not a man. He's just a monster. If I go there, I'll be a sheep into a tiger's mouth, and there's no place for me to escape."

It seemed that Nancy didn't notice that Mond's face darkened. She still kept on saying her narrative with her voice getting more and more agitated.

Ron looked at the rearview mirror and saw Mond's extremely unkind face. Ron felt cold as he wondered whether this woman knew what danger she was in now. She talked about her grievances and never thought that she was sitting beside the man who caused her trouble, Mond himself! Ron sighed as he got worried about Nancy who seemed to know nothing.

"Oh, and one more thing! I heard that Mond has an uncertain personality and that he might be suffering from schizophrenia! If I wake up next to him in the morning and he completely forgets what has happened last night, what should I do by then?" said Nancy. She shook her head side to side as she sighed in dismay.

"Oh, wait, there's more. I almost forgot... You know what? This Mond Lu is already twenty six years old but has no girlfriend at all. Isn't that quite abnormal for a man at his age?"

"Then how many girlfriends do you think he should have?" Ron raised his eyebrows and smirked.

Nancy frowned, turned her head and said, "Maybe about seventeen or eighteen of them! Almost every rich man I know is a playboy."

'Seventeen or eighteen girlfriends, huh.' Charlie's hand that was on the steering wheel couldn't help but tremble. 'Is she really serious? I don't know where she got that information, but her words must have shocked Mr. Mond, ' thought Charlie.

"Also, do you know that Mr. Mond is disabled?"

"Of course I know about that! It seems to be a secret that everyone in Yun City knows about." Nancy tidied her hair and looked out of the window. She coughed a few times, perhaps because it was too cold for her after getting soaked in the rain.

"I also heard that he's dumb! But I don't believe it has anything to do with him not having a girlfriend. Well, no matter how bad he is, he is rich after all! Since that, there must be women after his money," Nancy remarked.

'Does she mean that money is the only reason a woman loves me?' Mond thought to himself.

"Oh, my God! What's this? Is this some sort of a group racing?" Charlie's voice pulled the two people in the back seat right back to their consciousness. Nancy looked back, and her heart immediately clashed. She looked a little flustered.

"Driver, drive faster, please." Nancy pleaded to Charlie who sat in front of her. With a helpless look on his face, Charlie looked at Mond through the rearview mirror as he waited for further instructions. Mond nodded slightly, and Charlie drove the car at full speed, distancing the carriages of the Nie Family hundreds of meters away.

Meanwhile, as soon as the carriages had disappeared from their sight, Nancy breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Stop right here! Thank you."

After showing gratitude, she opened the door and prepared to get off.

"Wait!" A voice from the car tried to get her attention.

Mond slid a paper in her hand. She looked at the paper and asked, "What's this?"

"My phone number."

"Oh, I see." Nancy understood what he meant and gave him a nod. Afterwards, she took the umbrella that Ron handed her and ran away in a hurry.

Staring at Nancy's retreating back, Charlie scratched his head in confusion and thought, 'I couldn't really figure out Mr. Mond's way of handling things recently. I mean, this is not his style!'

"Investigate her!" Mond's voice was still as cold as ever. In no time, he opened the door of the car and hurriedly sat back inside.

Yun City boasted of its notable and well-known families. There were two great families in Yun City: the Lu Family and the Nie Family. Being a part of the Lu Family, Mond would surely stir up big news if he was photographed by reporters while going home to the villa in Yun City.

Just then, the car drove slowly into the villa. The servants lined up in rows at the gate as they waited for Mond's arrival.

"We have arrived, Mr. Mond," Charlie said in a low voice.

Mond pretended to be sleepy. After Charlie's voice trailed off, Mond opened his fake sleepy eyes and looked outside the car's window. There, he saw a group of servants waiting for him to get out of the car. Although Ron already took out his wheelchair from the trunk of the car, Mond didn't give him the signal and appeared to not have any intention of moving at all.

The villa's yard was decorated lavishly with an elegant and unique style. The ground was a little bit damp due to the rain that had fallen a while ago. It mixed with the smell of the grass and the earth, making the air around the yard fresher and more natural. In the center of the yard was a fountain that shone bright with the scattered light of sunshine, forming an arch of a small rainbow.

"Mond, you're finally home! Why don't you get off the car now? Dad has been waiting for you!" When Elroy Lu saw Mond, he pretended to be surprised. He welcomed Mond with excitement, but little did Elroy Lu know that Mond already saw through his poor acting skills. Meanwhile, a sneer slipped its way into Mond's lips.

Elroy Lu saw this and couldn't hold back his anger. 'How could a disabled man like him take such a stand? Who does he think he is? He can't possibly succeed in the power of the Lu Family!' Elroy Lu thought.

On the other hand, Nathan Lu also saw what happened. He looked at Mond and sneered. "Ah, yes. Look at that. Remember how your legs used to work? I remember how father used to like you. But I guess now, all he feels for you is pity! I can't believe that car accident ruined your bright future. We are so sad for you!" However, his face said otherwise. A smug expression was formed along with his eyes showing no care.

But the man in the car didn't respond to Nathan Lu's racy words at all. In fact, Mond didn't even bother to look at him.

On the other hand, if there was anyone who knew Mond well, that was Ron. He knew how Mond's temper was triggered. At that moment, Ron didn't have the slightest interest to argue with them further, but at the same time, he could not sit there and let them pick on his master. Finally, Ron burst and said in monotone, "Mr. Nathan, with all due respect, although Mr. Mond is physically disabled, he is still the young master of the Lu Family who deserves to be respected. And our first madam is also from a noble family. Watch your words!"

His words, though not pushy, were able to infuriate Nathan Lu. Although Noah Lu had a deep love for Nathan's mother, the fact remained that she was nothing but a woman with a low status. In fact, Noah Lu had once been drunk and then slept with her. After that night, she became pregnant and afterwards gave birth to Nathan. With his birth, she became the second madam of the Lu Family, thanks to her looks and means.

However, things were quite different when it came to Mond. His mother was Anna An from the An Family, the daughter of Angus An who was the richest person in the city at that time. During that time, Anna An had a deep and romantic love with Noah Lu. However, it was rather unfortunate that she died at an early age due to her illness. If she had not died, then it would be impossible for others to compete for the right of inheritance of the Lu Family. Without a doubt, the inheritor must be Mond!

On the other hand, Elroy Lu, Mond's other sibling, was the son of the third madam from another noble family. However, he wasn't Noah Lu's favorite and he was treated less than his other brothers.

"Shut up!" A majestic voice echoed from behind the crowd. In an instant, both Nathan and Elroy became obedient and went to support Noah with smiles plastered on their faces like kind and obedient sons.

Mond glanced at them and signaled Ron to take him out. Ron then pushed him in the wheelchair into the crowd. Mond was aloof as he looked at the group of people in front of him. They tried to flatter him, in an attempt to conceal their evil intentions. Nevertheless, his expression remained unchanged.

"There you are, Mond! How have you been?" Nathan approached Mond and squatted beside his wheelchair. He looked at him up and down as if judging him, while asking about his body.

Mond only replied by nodding his head.

Despite Noah feeling dissatisfied with his son's indifference, he still put on an admiring look. Among his three sons, Mond was his favorite after all.

Even though Elroy was married, he hadn't changed his character at all. He was still quite reckless and competitive.

While, Nathan was quite skittish, unfaithful, and a playboy who went to a lot of places for women. But Nathan had one redeeming quality-he had a good business sense. With that, Noah let him go live his life to the fullest.

Only the eldest son, Mond, was steady and indifferent to anything. It was more suitable for him to inherit the Lu Family. Unfortunately, he was a cripple and this could create some problems for him. How could the successor of the Lu Family be a useless person!

Clearing his throat, Noah took a sip of tea that Nathan served and said, "I'm here to tell you something important, so I called you back at the moment."

"We're all ears, Dad. What happened?" For fear of missing something, Elroy hastily asked this question.

Meanwhile, Nathan cast a meaningful glance at Elroy. He sighed and said, "Have you heard of Nancy, the daughter of the Nie Family? That..."

"Of course, I mean, who wouldn't know her? I heard that she is famous for her beauty in the whole Yun City. Countless people go to ask for engagement with her every day! Every man in this city is going crazy about her..." Elroy interrupted before Nathan could even finish his sentence.

Nathan looked at Elroy's restless face and shook his head. Afterwards, Nathan turned to Mond and said, "The daughter of the Nie Family wants to marry a man of the Lu Family."

"Dad, I'll do it. I'm willing to marry her." As soon as Elroy heard that Nancy was willing to marry a man in his family, he immediately lit a cigarette for Noah fawningly.

But Nathan snorted coldly and said, "But you're already married! Are going to marry the girl of the Nie Family as your concubine?"

"Eh...there's another solution to that. I can divorce my wife!" At the thought of marrying Nancy, Elroy seemed to have forgotten everything. He even forgot that his father was still there with them.

"That's ridiculous!" Nathan stopped Elroy before he could even finish his words.

"That's absurd! Have you even thought about your wife's feeling? She's the daughter of the Yue Family. Do you want to cause troubles between the two families?"

Mond sat in the wheelchair and watched the farce as if he were an outsider. He then put his head on his hand and thought, 'She wants to marry into my family?' If Nancy was willing to do so, it was unnecessary for her to run away from the marriage. For such a girl, if she was unwilling, then she would run away sooner or later, no matter how rich the Lu Family was!

"Dad, if this is going to be beneficial to the Lu Family, then I'm willing to marry the daughter of the Nie Family." Nathan stepped forward, as he exuded the vibe that he was taking the bullet for the Lu Family.

"Is that so? You are considering for the Lu Family? How dutiful of you! Do you think we should be happy that the Lu Family has a son like you?" Elroy said in an extremely sarcastic tone to contend with Nathan. However, he didn't care much about his father's livid expression at all.

Meanwhile, Nathan sneered, and looked at Elroy with a wicked smile and said, "Elroy, it's not proper for you to say so. Now that father also called Mond to be here, it means that Mond is also included in the selection. Why don't we take the time to listen to him?"

Seeing that Nathan still acknowledged Mond's presence, Noah nodded his head with relief.

Hearing Nathan refer Mond as a candidate, Elroy glanced at Mond and said in a more disdainful tone, "A loser like him is in no way comparable to us. It's impossible for the apple of the Nie Family's eyes to marry a pathetic and disabled person like him."

"Shut your mouth!" Noah shouted and Elroy obeyed. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Nathan turned to look at Elroy with a sly smile.

Elroy finally sensed that he had said something wrong. Despite being a cripple, Mond was still the beloved son of the first madam whom Noah had loved the most. At that moment, Elroy knew that he shouldn't have made a fuss about Mond's disability due to Nathan's trick!
