The Devil’s love

Yichan sighed and nodded his head, "I know."

"Just tell her everything that she needs to know, don't keep things away from her," Guiren advised him. ​​

Left with no other choice, Yichan nodded his head. For so many days, he had been avoiding the whole thing and to his surprise, even Ning never initiated a conversation which was related to or ever asked him about it. But now when she had told him that she wanted to know the truth, how could he avoid it at any cost?

….

30 minutes later.

When Ning and other others arrived, everyone was waiting for him including Lucas.

"Babe, why did you ask me to call Lucas over?"

Breathing a sigh of relief after seeing him, Ning answered, "There is something I need to tell Lucas." Looking at Yichan, she added, "Not just Lucas but everyone."

Scrunching his brows, Yichan inquired, "What is it honey? Did Roger do anything inappropriate?" He was already having a really bad feeling when she asked him to call Lucas over as soon as possible.

Yufan quickly approached Hannah and wrapped his arms around her shoulder. Kissing the top of her head, he assured her, "Don't worry about it anymore, I am with you now."

When Ning did not say anything, Yichan turned towards Yuri and asked, "What happened? What did he tell you all?"

"And how did he even approach you all? What about the guards?" Guang fumed.

"No need to get hyped up, it was our choice to talk to him and the guards were always with us so everything was safe," Yuri explained.

"What? You people had a chat with him? Why on earth would you do that?" Looking at Ning, Yichan snapped, "I have always told you to stay away from him Ning, why did you agree to anything that he said?"

"We had no other choice and he meant no harm, he just wanted to talk to us," Ning explained.

"But—"

Cutting Yichan off, she placed her hand on his arm, "I am fine Yi, you don't have to worry about me and he really just wanted to talk."

"What did he tell you?" Lucas inquired.

"He wanted to talk about you." Without waiting for his reply, Ning added, "He told us that you dad wants to kill you."

With his hands tucked in his pocket, Lucas chuckled, "I know."

"What? You know?" When he nodded his head, Yuri frowned, "And you are not gonna do anything about it?"

Shrugging his shoulder, Lucas answered, "What can I do? You don't expect me to beg him to spare my life right? So if he wants to send his weak toddlers to spy on me and probably get me killed, I don't have any choice but to avoid them."

"Avoid them? All you are going to do is avoid them? Are you serious?" Without waiting for his reply, Ning snapped, "There are people after your life Lucas, how can you be so cool about it?"

"Don't worry about me Ning, I am used to all of this." Without waiting for her reply, Lucas curiously inquired, "So Roger approached you just to tell you that dad is after me?"

"Yes, that is all he wanted to say," Yuri answered.

"Wait, I don't understand, why would Roger do that? I mean, going against his dad and warning Lucas. What if this is one of his tricks?" Guiren stated.

Bojing nodded his head and answered, "I agree with Guiren, what if this is one of his tricks?"

"We cannot trust Roger, he is too sly and—"

"I think he isn't lying and neither is this any kind of trick that he is trying to play." When Yichan frowned, she tightened his grip around his hand. "I can say that he isn't lying or trying to trick us Yi, I think we can trust him."

"Ning is right, he sounded very genuine," Yuri added.

"Hmm I think you guys are right, Roger's intentions are clean this time." When everyone gave him a weird look, Lucas explained, "Roger is not in very good terms with dad, in fact, we both are not in good terms with them except for Angella. She was the only one who was close to him and even dad adored her a lot."

Pausing for a while, he added, "Even Roger adored Angella a lot, you guys know that."

The sudden mention of Angella's name made Yichan grit his teeth. She was solely responsible for everything that had happened in the past, in fact, they were still dealing with the mess."

Helplessly shaking his head, Lucas sighed, "I know you guys don't like it when anyone mentions her name but—"

Cutting him off, Ning turned towards Yichan and inquired, "What exactly happened between you guys and Roger?" When Yichan did not say anything, she continued, "I never asked you about it because I wanted you to take all the time that you need but now I think you have to tell me the entire thing."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yichan explained, "It's not like I don't want to tell you but I am just scared." Without waiting for her reply, he added, "Scared that you will also blame me for what happened just like Roger."

"Why would I do that? And why are you comparing me with Roger? Do you think we are the same?" When he shook his head she continued, "So why are you still so hesitant to talk to me about it?"

"Wait, you haven't told Ning about it yet?" When Yichan glared at him, Lucas shrugged his shoulders and added, "Well, even I don't know what exactly happened so I wanna hear it too."

When Ning tightened his grip around his arm, Yichan sighed, "Alright, I'll tell you everything but just to make everything clear, I had nothing to do with Angella and I always treated her like my sister but I don't know how is got the whole idea of—" Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "Anyway, Roger is one of our childhood friends and was one us until that incident happened."
