Cross the Lies and Embrace You

[Complete, HE] [Bad-boy, cool, handsome international police officer x beautiful, bold, flirtatious intelligence agent] [Both undercover, evenly matched] Weibo: Matcha Wanzi Jun This is the final book in a military trilogy. The first two companion novels can be found in the author's collection: 1. Please Don't Give Up on Me, Lin Jing x Qi Yue 2. A Direct Hit, Shan Shijun x Qu Xiaoyang Blurb: There are many rumors about Shu Lan, the most beautiful woman on the waterways of Southeast Asia and founder of the intelligence network No Boundaries. Countless men have fallen under her spell, yet not one has caught her eye. Some say she's waiting for someone who will never return. "Five years." Shu Lan leaned close to the man's ear and whispered suggestively, "Lee, I've finally caught you." Li Yancheng's lips curved faintly. Before she could react, he broke free of her hold, rolled over, and pinned her beneath him. "I hate being on the bottom. In bed or out of it." Shu Lan tilted her head slightly and kissed his sharply defined jaw. "If you're leaving this time, take me with you. Otherwise, we'll never see each other again." Li Yancheng's dark eyes were unfathomable. He traced a finger lightly across her face. "Then let's not say goodbye." Shu Lan smiled, her beauty dazzling. "Good. Here's a parting gift for you." Later, Shu Lan disappeared. Li Yancheng searched all of Southeast Asia for her. When he found her, he held her as if she were the most precious thing in his life. "Shu Lan, let's go home." Shu Lan shook her head, then slowly signed: You once saved me from captivity and taught me how the strong survive. Because of you, I no longer have to read people's moods or live at their mercy. So don't apologize. But we can't go back to how things were. That day, Shu Lan saw for the first time the man who had always been iron-fisted and hidden his emotions silently shed tears. It was easy to deceive her, but in the end, he couldn't deceive his own heart. If only he had known how things would turn out, he would never have let go of Shu Lan's hand, even if it cost him his life. Extra scene: Li Yancheng saved Shu Lan three times. The first time, he opened a window onto her dark life. The second time, his life hung by a thread. The third time, he nearly lost the use of an arm. A tattoo of an orchid in the shape of an L marked his waist. He carved into it the love he couldn't put into words, and the person he couldn't take with him.

The handsome young man looked down at her, a faint smile in his eyes. "Long time no see, Senior Sister." Ning Zhi stared for a long while at the face that was exactly as she remembered it, then sighed. "A Jue, you shouldn't have come back." Xi Jue lowered his eyes and gripped Ning Zhi's chin with his cool fingers. The malice in his gaze deepened. "What, now that I'm back, do you want to kill me again?" When Ning Zhi said nothing, he suddenly smiled again. He leaned down and pressed his forehead affectionately against hers. "I thought about you every day in the Demon Realm. What about you, Senior Sister?" Ning Zhi shook her head slightly. "A Jue, whatever you came back to do this time... give it up." Xi Jue pressed his lips against hers and murmured, "What if I say no?" After a long silence, Ning Zhi replied, "Then I don't mind killing you again." The young man smiled again, tightening his embrace a little. "All right. I'll be waiting." * On the day Hun Tian City fell, Ning Zhi stood atop White Chalk Peak, divine weapon in hand, facing Xi Jue. Xi Jue, the great demon in the eyes of the world, paid no heed to the three thousand cultivators behind Ning Zhi, each eager to kill him. He focused only on her. "Ning Zhi, this is the third time you've killed me. Sometimes I truly wonder which of us is the one without a heart." The hand holding Ning Zhi's sword trembled slightly, but she still said calmly, "A Jue, stop." Xi Jue looked at her with a gaze both mocking and desolate. "Senior Sister, I've always gone along with you. Every time, whatever happened along the way, I ultimately respected your choice." Ning Zhi replied softly, "Mm." Xi Jue smiled. "The first time, I lost my cultivation and my identity. The second time, I lost all my closest family. And each time, you gave up on me and chose those people who meant nothing to you." Ning Zhi: "..." Xi Jue: "What if I say I don't want to go along with you this time?" After a long silence, Ning Zhi suddenly stepped forward and gently placed a hand on the young man's bloodstained yet still handsome face. "A Jue, you said I never chose you. You're right... I owe you so much." Her voice was gentle. As Xi Jue watched in astonishment, she smiled brightly at him. "So this time, I choose you." Seeing Ning Zhi so calm, Xi Jue was momentarily dazed. He seemed to see the Senior Sister who, in the year he first became her disciple, had stood beneath the towering mountain gate, smiled at him, and gently taken his hand. But in the next moment, Xi Jue felt a faint chill in his chest. Ning Zhi's divine weapon pierced him through the back and came out through her own, running them both through. "This time, I'll go with you."
