466: Chapter 47 Reassurance

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here? What is this place? Are you kidnapping me?"

She asked him with a face full of curiosity.

The panic on her face completely vanished.

Lu Chen was momentarily speechless.

However, she quickly calmed down.

When Nianwei finally looked at the man's face,

Half of that face was covered by a black mask.

For some reason,

she found this face extremely familiar.

Lu Chen said,

"I told you that you look like someone close to me. So when I saw how panicked you were back then, I couldn't help but feel a little worried."

"So I followed you. When I saw you had nowhere to go and collapsed on the street, I brought you back to a hotel, but you vaguely mumbled that you didn't want to be taken back to the Imperial Palace."

"So I didn't take you to any hotel in the Kingdom of Alice. I brought you out of the Kingdom and took you here, to the Underground City."

Luo Nianwei's eyes widened instantly.

She asked,

"How long have I been asleep?"

"You slept for 16 hours. You slept like a dead pig."

Lu Chen looked at her.

"You're lying!? How is that possible? I know the Underground City is extremely far from our Kingdom. How could you bring me here in such a short time?"

Lu Chen rolled his eyes.

"Believe it or not."

She wanted to ask more questions.

But after the fear dissipated, she suddenly felt an intense hunger.

Lu Chen had brought her a lot of delicious food.

The aroma wafted over,

making her mouth water.

She immediately stared at the food.

Finally, drool started dripping out.

But she hesitated, feeling a bit too embarrassed to speak.

"Um! Sir, you see, I... um..."

Lu Chen smiled slightly.

"Do you want to eat first and then wash up, or wash up before eating?"

"Is there a bathroom here?"

She asked excitedly.

She had never stayed in a hotel before.

"Of course, there is. I also bought you some clothes and other things."

He handed her a large bag of things he bought on the way.

Lu Chen had purchased them based on the preferences of the other Nianwei.

He didn't know if this one would like them.

"Sir, you are truly thoughtful and considerate. Thank you."

"My name is Lu Chen. You can just call me Lu Chen."

"Mm... Okay, Lu Chen. I'll go take a shower first."

"Alright, I'll leave the food here. If you need anything else, just call me. I'm staying in the room next to yours."

Lu Chen immediately left the room.

Nianwei watched him leave.

"This person doesn't give me any sense of danger. What's going on? Even my father often emits a frightening aura, but this person doesn't."

Nianwei had a secret.

Since she was twelve, she could sense threats from others.

Based on the intensity of the threat,

she had already avoided many disasters.

Everyone carried a faint trace of threat.

Even little girls emitted this aura,

although it was extremely, extremely faint.

But she sensed no dangerous aura from Lu Chen at all.

In her eyes,

he was like a garden full of rich fragrance.

She felt very at ease when she was with him.

If she knew that the man who appeared in her dreams for the past three years was the person before her,

she would definitely cry out and throw herself into his arms.

Luo Nianwei went to take a bath.

After washing up,

she put on the clothes Lu Chen bought for her.

These clothes were very beautiful.

"His taste in women's clothing is quite good. I really want to know how he picked them out."

She sat on the bed, eating the meal with great satisfaction.

In fact,

this was the most satisfying meal she had ever eaten.

It wasn't because the taste was bad.

It was because she ate without any reservations.

For three years,

ever since she gained that ability,

she had constantly felt immense threats from everyone in the palace.

They were all her brother's people.

Even the maids were a threat to her.

She was always extremely cautious when eating,

afraid someone would poison her or give her something harmful.

So she was always worried and couldn't eat much.

But today, all the worries in her heart disappeared.

Tears rolled down from her eyes.

This feeling was just like when she was with her mother.

So relaxed and at ease.

After her mother passed away in an accident,

everyone in her life changed.

Those men who once deeply respected her mother,

began to stare at her like wolves staring at meat.

So she fled the palace at the risk of her life.

Anywhere else...

was much better than staying in that hellish place.

She didn't know when it happened.

But before she could react,

all the food was gone.

After the meal,

Luo Nianwei wiped away her tears.

Then she washed her face again.

Afterward, she walked out of the room.

She wanted to contact Lu Chen.

But she hesitated.

Just then, the door opened.

Lu Chen walked out from inside.

"Are you done eating?"

Luo Nianwei was startled by the sudden opening of the door and almost fell.

But Lu Chen quickly supported her.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Chen asked,

with concern in his tone.

He thought Nianwei was still weak.

But her face instantly flushed red, and she quickly stood steady.

"I'm fine, I've finished eating. Thank you. This meal was delicious."

Lu Chen smiled.

"I'm glad you liked it. Do you want to go out for a stroll? This city is very famous and has many places worth visiting."
