Chapter 12 The Witchcraft Boy 11

She felt a sting in her eyes, and tears streamed down her face. "I was heartbroken and had resigned myself to my fate. I couldn't get out, and he wouldn't let me out either. But then I met you that day. You appeared before me like a god. But I was so scared. I wanted you to take me out, so I didn't dare tell you the truth..."

"Ah Chen, I've felt so guilty the whole way here. I was afraid I'd dragged you down. It was my fault. I knew it was wrong, but I still lied to you. Ah Chen, you can blame me. I'm sorry..."

The carriage slowly came to a stop. Qi Chen felt a strange resentment in his heart. "Qiuqiu, you said you love him?"

"?" Xu Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment. She had confessed to him and asked for his forgiveness. What was he focusing on?

"Don't cry, Qiuqiu, I don't like seeing you cry." Qi Chen's eyes darkened slightly. He tried hard to suppress the intense hatred from the depths of his soul. He didn't know why his emotions were so strong when he heard her say that she liked someone else.

"Then, Chen, can you forgive me?" Xu Qiuqiu asked him nervously, noticing his strange look.

"003, why does he seem so angry right now? Did I say something wrong? I was so sincere and heartfelt. She's a girl who's been deceived, so pitiful and miserable. Shouldn't he feel sorry for her?" Xu Qiuqiu asked 003, puzzled.

"Host, I don't know either. I think what you said was quite touching; I almost cried," 003 said, equally confused.

"Qiuqiu, do you still have feelings for him?" Qi Chen asked, looking at her with a dark gaze.

Xu Qiuqiu was full of questions, but she realized that he seemed to care about this a lot. "How could that be? He treated me like this, how could I still like him?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that Qi Chen's strange aura and strange gaze had disappeared.

The boy's gaze softened with tenderness as he looked at her face. He gently wiped away her tears with his long, slender fingers. "Qiuqiu, I know, but I've never blamed you. Don't be sad. I'll take you home. With me here, no one can hurt you."

But he couldn't help but wonder, who could possibly lock her up in the maze? Handsome and a young man, the one in the Holy Healer Valley who fit the bill was his cousin, Qi Gunan. His drooping fingers involuntarily tightened.

"Thank you, Chen." Xu Qiuqiu saw Qi Chen soften and didn't think too much about it. Her acting skills were quite good, and he forgave her just like that.

By striking first, Qi Chen knew that even if she encountered a scumbag, she would definitely not approve of her cousin's actions. However, she felt inexplicably unhappy. Although Qi Chen was silly, he promised to protect her. It was precisely because he was too good that she felt even worse.

But in order to escape the scumbag, she had to rely on Qi Chen, and she felt particularly guilty. She felt that she was taking advantage of him and his sympathy. "003, am I too useless? Am I being too unreasonable?"

She had only planned to trick him into escaping from the Valley of the Holy Healer, but he insisted on taking her home. She thought she would make it up to him slowly in the future, but he was so kind to her the whole way, which made her feel a mix of emotions.

"Host, I think you're great. This is your first mission, which is already amazing. And I see that the second male lead is quite happy with you. Maybe he doesn't have any complaints at all." 003, being an outsider, saw things very clearly. It had been watching the whole way, and the way the second male lead looked at the host almost drowned it.
