The moment Lu Zheng hugged Gu Xin, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
Although he had accompanied Gu Xin through those events in the West and believed in her abilities, he was still afraid.
He had lost someone once before, and no matter how strong Gu Xin became, he still couldn't help but worry whenever he thought she might be in danger. Tonight was a night he especially wanted to marry Gu Xin, not for any other reason than to have her by his side legitimately at all times.
"Brother Yuanyuan, the way you taught me to tell directions is really useful!" Gu Xin said happily.
Lu Zheng put Gu Xin down and helped her stand up, then placed his hands on her shoulders.
Gu Ren realized that his future brother-in-law was about to lose his temper, and he had to take all the blame upon himself.
So Gu Ren jumped out of the car, ran to Lu Zheng's side, and said, "Brother Yuan, let me tell you, today..."
Lu Zheng interrupted him directly: "Bai Er, take Young Master Gu away!"
Gu Ren: "?"
Gu Xin then realized that Lu Zheng was acting strangely, and she grabbed Gu Ren, asking, "Brother Yuanyuan, what are you doing?"
Lu Zheng said in a deep voice, "Bai Er!"
Bai Er braced himself and stepped forward apologetically, "Sixth Young Master, would you like to ride a horse with me?"
Gu Xin objected: "Bai Er, whose side are you on?"
Bai Er: "?"
Lu Zheng was so angry that his heart ached: "You and Renren ran off with the beggars without a care in the world. Did you think about me? Did you think about our family? Everyone was worried about you two siblings and searched the entire capital. Do you know that?"
Gu Ren tried to explain: "We..."
Lu Zheng glanced at him: "What's wrong with you guys? Don't tell me you've been bewitched by a womanizer! Don't I know how vigilant your third sister is? In this kind of environment, she could be bewitched by someone? Unless she did it willingly."
Gu Xin chuckled: "Brother Yuanyuan, you know how capable I am, so why are you worried! If Renren and I had caught them back then, we wouldn't have been able to save the others, nor would we have caught these loan sharks!"
Lu Zheng said, "Yes, I know, I know you're amazing! I've always known! But Gu Xin, do you know? Even though I know you're amazing, you really are amazing, I still don't want you to take even the slightest risk, not even the slightest! I don't want you to get hurt in any way! I'm afraid that if something happens, I don't want to lose you!"
Gu Ren nervously twisted his fingers. Damn it, all the hardships he set up for the male lead, creating the image of a devoted lover, made him so anxious and insecure.
Miss Ying got out of the carriage and jogged over: "Young Master Lu, please don't blame Princess Xinxin. She and Young Master Gu did it all to save us. This group of people planned to sell us to different places. If Princess Xinxin and Young Master Gu hadn't risked their lives to save us, even if our families had reported it to the authorities, they might not have been able to find us all."
Lu Zheng ignored Miss Ying.
Gu Xin reached out and hugged Lu Zheng's waist, whispering, "Lu Zheng, I'll be alright. I won't let you lose me, don't be afraid. Really, I promise you, no matter what, my safety will always be my first priority. I'll be with you for the rest of my life, don't be afraid, okay?"
Gu Xin rested her head against Lu Zheng's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said these words. She could feel that Lu Zheng was truly afraid of losing her.
