Chapter 1680


    Levi''s words hit Monique''s heart and brought herfort. "Okay, both of us will be fine. Nothing can


    happen to either of us."


    "Alright, I know. Let''s go. There''s no time for us to diddle dawdle." Holding Monique''s hand, Levi


    continued to lead her running down the stairs.


    They lived on the 15th floor, which the elevator could reach in the blink of an eye. However, by


    taking the stairs, they felt like they were going in circles, still so far away from the ground.


    Bang!


    All of a sudden, the front door of the stairwell was mmed open with a loud bang until the cement


    on the walls was even knocked down, scattering throughout the air.


    Levi''s eyes were preupied but his hands were fast. In an instant, he protected Monique by hiding


    her behind his back. He red at the door fiercely but there was nothing. There wasn''t even a sliver


    of a shadow, not to mention a person.


    However, Levi still did not let his guard down. He motioned to Monique to retreat two steps down


    and he quickly assessed their surroundings. If there really was an emergency, he had to find the


    best location to escape in case the enemy could not be defeated.


    Monique, who was guarded behind Levi, did not stay idle either. She also observed their


    surroundings. In such an emergency situation, the two of them had to cooperate well in order to


    escape.


    She held her breath, not daring to make any sound that would disturb Levi so as to not distract him.


    Just as the two of them thought there was no one, a group of people suddenly rushed into the


    stairwell, their faces covered in colorful makeup. As their faces were painted in various colors, it


    was impossible to know their appearances.


    The group of people yelled and rushed straight towards the two of them. If it weren''t for Levi''s quick


    reflexes, the two of them would have been separated by the crowd.


    However, the group of people did not attack them, and they quickly went past Levi and Monique to


    go to the floor above.


    Once everything had calmed down, Monique found a piece of paper in her pajamas'' pocket. She


    took it out and there were two lines of words on it. "It''s an honor to have you two in Xanduvia City. I


    hope you have a good time here in the next few days. I''m looking forward to our formal meeting!"


    There were no threats in the words written, but it was more bone-chilling than any other threat.


    Their enemy had told them in the most undermining way that if they could put a note in their pockets


    without their knowledge, then they had the ability to get rid of them the same way.


    Levi snatched away the slip of paper and held it in his hand. Shrugging his shoulders, he said in an


    iparably rxed manner, "Mm, they''re already tracking us and don''t have any intention of


    getting rid of us, then why are we still in such a hurry to escape? Why don''t we go home, take a


    bath and have a good sleep?"


    Monique looked at Levi and saw the rxed look on his face, but she couldn''t tell whether he really


    was rxed or he was pretending in order to calm her down.


    She wanted to ask him just that but she refrained from doing so. Instead, she just followed Levi who


    led her to the corridor. Out in the open, they used the elevator to go upstairs.


    There were only the two of them in the elevator. While the elevator moved up, they did not speak. It


    was silent in the narrow space, so silent that their breathing could be heard clearly.


    It took only a little time for the lift to arrive on the 15th floor. Even when they entered the house, no


    one spoke. Monique finally could not help herself and said, "Levi, are you sure that we came back


    just to sleep?"


    "Or else?" Levi said as he walked to the bathroom. "Do you want to run around being chased


    around by them like wild monkeys instead? I don''t have the habit of being fooled by people."


    "But —" Monique still wanted to say something but Levi had gone into the bathroom, closed the


    door, and turned on the showerhead. The water from the showerhead could be heard flowing


    relentlessly.


    The bathroom was made of frosted ss. Even though Monique couldn''t make out clearly what was


    happening in the bathroom, she could make out the rough outlines of it. Her eyes widened as she


    watched Levi take a shower. His movements were smooth and natural, as if his mood hadn''t been


    affected by the incident moments ago.


    Was this man really that courageous?


    Monique wanted to be like him, but she could not. The incident kept on reying in her mind as if


    she was watching a movie.


    Earlier on, when the group of people passed them by, she was being so careful and defensive but


    she still did not notice a person slipping a note into her pocket.


    How did those people pull this off?


    As she could not figure it out, a seed of worry gradually sprouted in her heart.


    "Don''t worry about it anymore. Go take a shower. We''re absolutely safe now." While Monique was


    absorbed in her thoughts, Levi, who just finished bathing, came out with a bath towel wrapped


    around him. Seeing that she was still in a daze, he walked over and rapped her head. "Monique,


    you weren''t such a coward before."


    That was true!


    Indeed, Monique was truly never this much of a coward before.


    While on a mission, her courage was always bigger than that of the men.


    However, it was different this time. This time, the person who was carrying out the task with her was


    a person she cared about. She was looking forward to their future together so much that she had so


    many concerns.


    "Go take a shower." Levi rubbed her head and pinched her face again. "If you don''t go now, is it


    because you want me to personally carry you to the bathroom?"


    "You rogue man!" Monique jumped away from him out of fear. She rushed to the bathroom, not


    forgetting to warn him, "Levi, stay in the room. Don''t be in the living room."


    If she could see him bathing from the living room, then he could also see her. He was a man. It was


    alright when she watched him. However, she did not allow him to look at her, as she would be a little


    embarrassed.


    "I''m not interested in looking at you." Although Levi said so, he still did not move. He looked straight


    in the direction of the bathroom and looked at Monique through the frosted ss.


    They had been in a rtionship for quite some time already but he still had not seen Monique''s


    body seriously. Although he couldn''t see her clearly, he had to say that Monique''s body that was


    usually covered by her clothes was quite attractive, at least much more attractive than what he had


    imagined.


    "Levi, close your eyes and don''t look," Monique angrily roared from the bathroom but Levi did not


    care about her at all. He even teased her, "Why can''t I look at my girlfriend?


    It''s not like I''m looking at other people!" "When I say don''t look at me, I mean it!"


    "If you can look at me, why can''t I look at you?"


    "You-"


    "Well, in the worst case scenario, I''ll just take off my clothester and show you."


    Monique was really speechless. Levi was really two-faced. He was so serious when he had to be,


    yet so skillfully shameless at other times.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
