Because, apart from her aunt, she didn't know who else she could trust completely.

But there are many things that her aunt is not suitable to know, and Xia Chujian doesn't want to scare her.

Therefore, the person she trusts the most and can rely on the most is herself.

She never feels lonely because she and her secret are best friends.

She also had no desire to confide.

Xia Chujian curled the corners of her mouth slightly and whispered, "Li Fu, you look careless, but you are actually quite careful."

On the virtual display screen, Li Fu sat leisurely and continued talking.

"When I first met you, I thought back on my life and felt that the most successful thing I had ever done was to convince Ye Shijie to accept you as a member of his team."

"Other than that, I'm good for nothing."

Li Fu looked at the camera, his expression more relaxed than ever before.

"Even though I was born into a family like the Li family and had such a high starting point, I still managed to mess it up myself."

"I was only eight years old at the time. My stepmother provoked me with a few casual words, and I ran away from home in anger."

“From then on, my life went off track.”

"I ran away from home at the age of eight. You're probably curious about how I support myself."

"I'm not as bad as you think. I did run away from home, but I didn't leave completely."

"I went to see my uncle."

"His last name is Bai."

Xia Chujian's heart skipped a beat.

So this is how Li Fu is related to Bai Cuiwei?

Is this Bai the noble Bai family?

Li Fu seemed to understand what she was thinking and continued, "My biological mother is from the Earl Bai family."

"And it was the main line. It's a pity that she died too early. Otherwise, my life would not be like this."

"After I left home, I got some money from my uncle and started learning various survival skills."

"I started being a bounty hunter at the age of twelve."

"When I earned my first money at the age of fifteen, I returned it to my uncle at the Bai family."

"At the age of seventeen, I passed the university entrance exam through self-study and returned to Beichen Star to attend school."

"During the summer vacation of that year, I met a noble lady from the Bai family's side branch, named Bai Cuiwei, who was considered my distant cousin."

"She was very young at the time, only nine years old, sitting alone in a corner, but she wasn't at all stage frightened."

"There is light in her eyes, and whenever she looks at people, it is always bold and passionate."

"She's even bolder than the boys. If anyone bullies her, she'll just confront them with a gun!"

"In a way, when I first saw you, I thought of her."

"You have that look in your eyes, like a lone wolf ready to explode at any moment."

"Sometimes when I take care of you, it feels like I'm taking care of her."

"But she doesn't need anyone to take care of her."

"It's just that I didn't know it until now. It was like I was blinded by a ghost."

"At first, I just drove away a few members of the Bai clan who bullied her."

"After that, she became attached to me. There were always people 'bullying' her, and they happened to be within my reach."

"So, helping her, protecting her, and rescuing her became my daily routine and gradually became a habit."

"Gradually, I paid more and more attention to her."

"Later, when she turned 18, she specially invited me to celebrate."

"She only invited me to the entire coming-of-age ceremony."

"She didn't need a gift from me, but instead gave me a gift - a kiss. Even though it was just a kiss on the forehead."

"Since then, I found that my attention to her has changed from friendship to an unspoken crush."

"But I know that I have been kicked out by my father. He has a new son and has even deprived me of my inheritance rights."

"And she is the noble daughter of the Bai family."

"I'm not worthy of her at all."

"So I never confessed my feelings to her, I just protected her silently."

"I look for opportunities to return to the imperial capital every year on Guiyuan Star, ostensibly to visit my uncle."

"Actually, I went to see her."

"After I graduated from college, I went back once a year, but I didn't see her very often."

"She became very busy, going to school and learning various skills. Sometimes, no one even knew where she was."

"But I have no doubt at all."

"In this way, we got along well and became good friends."

"Later, her troubles gradually escalated and became more than just minor incidents."

"One time I went back to the capital for the New Year and saw that she looked very worried. I couldn't help but ask her."

"She told me that her family had a small business, but it had recently been targeted and was about to go bankrupt."

"I said that the Bai family is already an earl. Although her family is a branch, it is still within five generations and still has a noble title."

"Who is so blind as to take away the Earl's business?"

"It turns out he's a wealthy businessman. Although he's not a noble, his business is secretly backed by a marquis."

"And Cuiwei's family is just a branch of the earldom."

“So the other party is unscrupulous.”

"Seeing Cuiwei's family business go to pieces and owe a huge amount of loans, I couldn't sit still any longer."

"During that period, I contacted her quite frequently, always asking her indirectly, or what I thought were indirect ways, what was wrong and whether she needed my help."

"She always puts on a smile and says it's nothing, just some trouble at home that will be sorted out soon."

"But I still asked the name of that 'troublemaker'."

"Then, by coincidence, I discovered a mission on the black market to assassinate that wealthy businessman."
