Chapter 245 Only I can protect you

Their eyes met, and Yu Qinghuan remained silent for a long time.

Indeed, during the time he stayed in the palace, Xie Zhili had to be summoned by Xiao Jinghe to meet him, and Mu Huaian even had to have Cheng Gongjin arrange for him to enter the palace.

Only Cheng Gongjin could meet with her quietly in the palace and then steal her out of the palace and hide her.

Seeing that she was silent, as if she didn't believe him, Cheng Gongjin said solemnly, "Madam Yu, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and said, "I was wondering if I would have been the queen in the palace now if it weren't for you."

Cheng Gongjin was silent for a long time, "Xiao Jinghe can't protect you."

The harem was involved with the previous dynasty. As soon as Xiao Jinghe ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to enthrone a woman who could not bring him any help as queen. Those old ministers who had originally assisted him were already dissatisfied.

Out of dissatisfaction, she would do anything to fight for the position of queen. Even if Yu Qinghuan became the queen, she would not live long.

Cheng Gongjin believed that the person in front of him was smart. Even if he didn't say these words, Yu Qinghuan knew them in her heart, otherwise she would not have insisted on leaving when Xiao Jinghe was about to take the throne of queen.

As for the other men, they were not even as good as Xiao Jinghe.

Yu Qinghuan looked at him with amusement. Xiao Jinghe was already the emperor, but in Cheng Gongjin's eyes, he was still a man who couldn't even protect a woman.

This shows how arrogant this person is.

She moved slightly forward, almost touching Cheng Gongjin, her warm breath spraying on his face, "Master Cheng, if he can't protect me, who can?"

Cheng Gongjin almost blurted out, "I."

He raised his hand and pinched Yu Qinghuan's chin, his eyes dark, "Madam Yu, only I can protect you."

He called out "Madam Yu" in a very low voice, which made Yu Qinghuan's ears numb, her heart beat faster for no reason, and her face felt hot.

This person is arrogant, but what he said is true.

The point is, with such a face, he said such arrogant and provocative words, which is really unbearable.

If he wasn't still sick, she really wanted to kill Cheng Gongjin right now.

Yu Qinghuan raised her hand and grasped his wrist, moving her hand away from her chin and moving her face away a little, fearing that she would not be able to resist kissing him.

She now admitted that Cheng Gongjin was indeed a very attractive person, but she was someone who couldn't resist being seduced.

But she didn't really want to say such words, so she picked up the bowl of porridge again, concealed her emotions, and continued to feed the porridge to Cheng Gongjin's mouth.

Yu Qinghuan deliberately lowered her voice and said calmly, "Then don't die so soon, protect me for a few more years."

Cheng Gongjin's thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was tinged with smile, "Okay."

Catching a glimpse of his fleeting smile, Yu Qinghuan lost her mind again and fed him another spoonful of porridge.

Cheng Gongjin lowered his eyes to glance at the spoon, then looked at the already empty bowl in her hand, "It's gone."

Yu Qinghuan was confused: "Huh?"

Cheng Gongjin: "The porridge is gone."

Yu Qinghuan finally came to her senses and realized that she had been seduced by beauty. She felt a little embarrassed. Without saying a word, she stood up and put the bowl back into the food box, but she heard Cheng Gongjin's low laugh.

She pursed her red lips, turned her head and asked Cheng Gongjin, "So how many times did you do it to the portrait?"

Cheng Gongjin's smile quickly disappeared from his lips, and he didn't want to answer this question.

Yu Qinghuan was pleased and continued:

"I once read in a medical book that doing this often is bad for your health. Elder Cheng, you're not young anymore. You'd better take better care of yourself, lest if you really need it in the future, your body... won't be able to do it."

As she said this, there was a mischievous smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes swept over Cheng Gongjin with undisguised mockery.

The air in the room suddenly froze. Every word of this conversation was like a knife stabbing Cheng Gongjin in the heart.

But unlike Yu Qinghuan's expected avoidance, Cheng Gongjin not only did not look away, but his deep eyes were fixed on her.

However, after just a moment, he raised his hand to cover his lips, coughed a few times, and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and walked forward to pat him on the back, but just as her fingertips were about to touch, Cheng Gongjin turned his head away.

Her breath brushed against Yu Qinghuan's temples, and she paused.

The next moment, an unexpected force grabbed her wrist.

Before Yu Qinghuan could react, she was suddenly pulled forward, losing her balance unexpectedly. She fell uncontrollably onto the sickbed, and Cheng Gongjin's hot big hand firmly grasped her lower back.

Almost subconsciously, she wrapped her arms tightly around the neck of the man in front of her, and sat firmly on Cheng Gongjin's legs through the thin blanket.

"Madam Yu reminds me of my age time and again."

Cheng Gongjin looked at her gravely. When he spoke, his voice was extremely hoarse, his hot breath hitting her face, and every word seemed to be ground out from between his teeth. "If you are curious about whether my body can do it, why not give it a try now?"

Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. If it weren't for the fact that everything was not suitable right now, she would really like to try it now.

Reason prevailed, Yu Qinghuan laughed dryly and tried to move away from him, "Let's not do that. If you faint again, the doctor will really scold me."

Cheng Gongjin tightened his grip on Yu Qinghuan's wrist, his gaze fixed on her lips as if it had substance, and he lowered his voice even lower, "What are you afraid of?"

Yu Qinghuan thought that he was not so hungry and thirsty. It would be really cruel to attack a person who was still lying on a sickbed.

She endured it, but Cheng Gongjin's eyes were unfathomable, with a turbulent undercurrent surging in his eyes.

He lowered his head and kissed her——

Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment and unconsciously tightened his arms.

Their breaths intertwined, and what was close was no longer just the bodies, but also two hearts.

Cheng Gongjin had never wanted to live longer as much as he did at this moment. He even felt that he had wasted those three days.

The kiss was very gentle. Yu Qinghuan didn't want to get up anymore, so she leaned into his arms and hugged him in response.

As I said just now, as long as Cheng Gongjin lives, she will accompany him.

Everyone will die, sooner or later.

Instead of thinking about the future, she just wants this person now.

But at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the house. In his confused state, Yu Qinghuan thought it was Daying or Xiaoying walking in the yard and didn't pay much attention.

But the next moment, Mu Huaian's voice suddenly rang out at the door, "How is the teacher?"

The sound was like ice water being poured over one's head, causing the two people in the room to freeze.
