"Alas... I just hope that I can see Brother Liu return safely tonight." Another person said worriedly, his words full of worry about Brother Liu's fate.

As these people walked further and further away, the sound of their conversation gradually became fainter and more blurred, until it finally disappeared completely from Lu Xingze's ears.

At this moment, Xie Qi, who was still holding Lu Xingze's hand tightly, knew very well that every word and every sentence those people said just now had entered Lu Xingze's ears without omission.

Xie Qi sighed helplessly, stopped, slowly raised his hand, gently pulled up the corner of his clothes, and carefully wiped Lu Xingze's palm, which was slightly sweaty due to nervousness.

As he wiped it carefully, he softly comforted her, "Even if I had to sell myself, I would never sell you. You can rest assured about that. If you still don't trust me, you can wait for me at home."

His tone was low and soft, like the sound of a gurgling stream coming from a deep valley. Every word carried a soothing power, and after hearing it, people couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility and peace of mind.

Lu Xing stared at the gaze Xie Qi gave him. At that moment, the suspicion and distrust of him that had just lingered in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, like mist blown away by a spring breeze.

At this moment, he decided to follow his truest intuition. Even if this intuition might eventually prove to be wrong, Lu Xing no longer cared about it. Because for him, this was the first time he felt the care and love from another person.

So, Lu Xing stretched out his right hand without hesitation and gently covered Xie Qi's broad and warm hand. Then, he squeezed it a little harder, as if he wanted to answer Xie Qi in this way.

Xie Qi saw Lu Xingze's actions, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, he took Lu Xingze's hand with an extremely gentle gesture and continued to walk towards the direction of the Xu family.
