My Killing President
Chapter 718 Important

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she was stunned and she hurriedly hid back. She leaned her back on the wall tightly and calmed herself down. If director Lee were to discover her, the man would definitely harm her.

At that very moment, there was a cab at that drove towards her. After a split second of contemplation, Annabelle Xia ran over right away.

Director Lee and Lee Yi hurried towards her direction. They knew that they couldn't afford to let anyone overhear their conversation!

But the moment they reached, Annabelle Xia managed to stop the cab and she opened the door and got inside right away. "Sir, hurry and drive!"

The driver was able to react quickly and drove away.

Lee Yi chased after the car and ran a short distance. However, the car gained distance in no time and disappeared from their sight.

Director Lee was older and slower. When he hurried over, the car was already gone.

"What happened? Who was that?"

Lee Yi's face was pale and in distress. The man turned his head over and looked at director Lee.

"What's wrong with you? Speak!" Director Lee fumed.

"I saw her back. She looked like..."

"Who?"

"Annabelle Xia..."

When director Lee heard that, his eyebrows knitted closely, "Are you referring to Alistair Mu's wife?"

Lee Yi nodded slowly.

Director Lee's expression changed as well. He stood there and pondered for a while and said, "Nevermind. Let's just leave it like this for now. If there isn't anything important, we shouldn't meet again!" After saying that, director Lee looked around and walked away. When Lee Yi saw that he left, he turned to another direction and walked away...

In the car.

When Annabelle Xia saw that they didn't chase after her, she was relieved.

At that time, her phone rang again. When Annabelle Xia saw the number, she answered it right away, "Hello..."

"Annabelle, where are you?" Alistair Mu asked worriedly over the call.

"I... I'm outside!"

Alistair Mu could hear the difference in tone and he frowned, "What's wrong? Did anything happened?"

The man was just sensitive and sharp.

"I have something to tell you. It is very important. Where are you right now?"

"In the company!"

"Wait for me, I will go over right now!"

"Where are you? I'll go pick you up." As Alistair Mu heard her trembling voice, he knew that something serious had happened.

"No need. I am in a cab and I will reach the company soon. Just wait for me over there!" Annabelle Xia said.

"Okay, call me if anything happens!" Alistair Mu reminded.

"Okay!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair Mu felt unease. After contemplating for a while, he looked at his watch and stood up with his car keys. Annabelle Xia held her phone and looked outside the window. She was trying her best to calm her rapid beating heart...

Sometime later, the car braked suddenly.

Annabelle Xia jumped in fright and she looked at the driver, "What happened!?"

The driver didn't say anything and simply turned his head back to look at Annabelle Xia.

Annabelle Xia looked in front and she saw a familiar car parking in front of them.

The next second, the person that walked down the car shook Annabelle Xia's heart.

Alistair Mu got down from his car and walked straight to the cab and opened the door. Annabelle Xia stared at him in surprise and didn't know what to do.

"Come here!" Alistair Mu said.

Annabelle Xia got down the car. She looked at Alistair Mu and couldn't hold herself back. She tiptoed and hugged Alistair Mu tightly... Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia and frowned. The next second, he carried Annabelle Xia up with both hands and walked to his car.

It was the first time Annabelle Xia did not push him away nor request for him to put her down when he did that in public.

Alistair Mu put her in the car and sat inside. He held Annabelle Xia's face and said, "Everything is okay now!"

Annabelle Xia felt restful and she finally managed to calm herself down.

"How did you know I am in that cab?" Annabelle Xia looked at him and asked.

Alistair Mu stretched out his hand slowly and held her hand. After that, he lifted her hand and pointed at the watch she was wearing.

At that time, Annabelle Xia sunk into a slow realization that she was wearing the special gadget!

For her safety, Alistair Mu had custom-made that watch for her. When she thought about that, she was relieved.

Alistair Mu looked at her worriedly and asked, "What happened? Tell me."

Annabelle Xia looked at him and told him what she saw. After hearing that, Alistair Mu's face turned grim.

"It is unexpected that director Lee was the mastermind that incited Lee Yi to do that!" Annabelle Xia said, "Sorry, I panicked and I forgot to record their conversation..." Before Annabelle Xia finishes, Alistair Mu held her face suddenly.

The man looked at her lovingly, "Annabelle Xia, do you still remember that you are pregnant?"

When Annabelle Xia heard that and she met with his intent gaze, she was stunned. The woman blinked her eyes.

"A desperate person like director Lee could do just anything. If he were to catch you just now, the consequences are just unimaginable!" Alistair Mu let out a low growl. Annabelle Xia knew it as well.

At that moment, she was overcome with fear. Therefore the moment she saw Alistair Mu, she was so relieved and she hugged him.

But now, as Alistair Mu stared at her like that, Annabelle Xia realized how important she was in his heart.

"Sorry. All I was thinking back then was to investigate how Lee Yi was connected to the incident. I hadn't thought that he would look for director Lee. It was just a coincidence... Sorry for worrying you!"

"Annabelle Xia, please know that no matter what happened, nothing can be more important than you. Therefore, it doesn't matter the reason, make sure you don't do anything that put yourself at risk anymore!" Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia and said. As he digested what she just said, he was fearful. If anything were to happen to her, he would just regret for the rest of his life.

When Annabelle Xia looked at how distressed and worried Alistair Mu was, she felt a warmth in her heart. The woman nodded meekly, "I promise you!"

Alistair Mu breathed a sigh of relief. The man wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly. After feeling her body and warmth, Alistair Mu could rest his heart.

Annabelle Xia leaned in his hug and raised her head to look at him. The woman hugged him back happily.

*Honk*

They heard a car honk.

At that time, someone got their head outside the car window and yelled, "Hey! Are you guys leaving or not? You are causing a traffic jam!" Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu and said, "Let's hurry and go. We are causing inconveniences to others!"

Alistair Mu wanted to hug her a little longer. But when he saw the traffic behind, he released Annabelle Xia reluctantly and started the car.

As he was driving, Annabelle Xia looked at him, "Now that you know what happened, what is your plan?" "What?"

"What are you going to do to Lee Yi and director Lee!"

When Alistair Mu heard that, he looked to the front and he had a grim expression, "Let me think about it."

"Actually, Lee Yi is a pitiable man. But I just didn't know that he was incited by director Lee!"

"His son needed a heart surgery and he needed the money. That was the reason he did that." Alistair Mu explained indifferently.

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she was stunned. She turned her head back and looked at Alistair Mu, "How did you know about that?"

After giving it another thought, she caught on, "Have you known about it before this?"

"I knew it slightly earlier than you." Alistair Mu said. He tilted his head and looked at Annabelle Xia and added another sentence in his heart: and I know slightly more than you as well...

"So that was it..." Annabelle Xia mumbled to herself. According to Alistair Mu's wits and shrewdness, she should have known that he would replace out already...

"Then what do you plan to do?"

"Lee Yi's son will be having his surgery today. Let's talk about it after that..."

Annabelle Xia was agreeable. When she saw the scene in the ward earlier where Lee Yi talked to his son, she was compassionate. But the woman could differentiate between right and wrong.

Lee Yi had undoubtedly made a mistake and he needed to answer to his crime. However, Annabelle Xia was surprised that Alistair Mu was willing to give Lee Yi a grace period.

As she looked at Alistair Mu, her eyes were gleaming in gentleness.

"Alistair, I notice that you have changed!"

"What kind of change?" Alistair Mu smirked.

"Umm... that..." Annabelle Xia rested her chin on her palm. She looked at Alistair Mu and tried to search for the most suitable description. After sometime, she said, "You are more humane now!" Humane?

That was exactly what Jack described him as well.

"Then, is this change good or bad?" Alistair Mu asked back.

"Of course it is good. At the very least, Alistair Mu isn't cold and heartless anymore..." As she said that, her eyes were filled with adoration.

Alistair Mu simply looked at her with the corner of his eyes. They made eye contact and Alistair Mu averted his eyes back to the road. The man held Annabelle Xia's hand. He wanted to say something but his gaze was hesitant... Annabelle Xia simply held his hand back and reclined to the car seat. The woman felt a great burden lifted off her shoulder.

"Annabelle..."

"Yes?"

If I were to do take action, will you forgive me?

However, the man asked the question in his heart but he didn't ask Annabelle Xia. He knew that if he were to ask that, according to Annabelle Xia's sensitivity and sharp wits, she would definitely replace out and be burdened. In the end, he smiled and lifted Annabelle Xia's hand. As he kissed the back of her hand, he said, "There is nothing more important than you..."

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she smiled.

What beautiful words of love.

Annabelle Xia looked back at him and held his hand tightly, "It is the same for me. You are more important than anything!"
