Chapter 99 Are you scared?
"Yes, that golden spear is just bait..." Li Jinxing nodded and replied calmly: "Hook out their bait!"
“…” Nie Yao didn’t know what to say for a moment. She knew that the story behind Li Jinxing being shot was very complicated, but she didn’t know that these cultural relics were also involved!
And if the person who was plotting against him also had an insider in this city, then Li Jinxing wasn't safe here either...
No wonder he drank the lemon juice she had drunk at the charity dinner before, and even joked half-jokingly that he was afraid of being poisoned!
Nie Yao thought of this and looked at him with even more worry: "So, you are still in danger now. Wouldn't you consider hiring a few more bodyguards?"
"I only use people I absolutely trust around me..." Li Jinxing curled his lips slightly and said with a faint smile: "The driver is one, Doctor Zhao is one, and Assistant Li Qin is one, and of course you!"
He paused here, put down the glass in his hand, looked deep into Nie Yao's eyes, and asked in a faint voice, "Are you scared?"
If she nodded to show her fear, he would move out of her apartment immediately. After all, shouldn't such a young woman bear the danger he is in?
What's more, she is just an archaeology student who has not yet graduated...
Facing Li Jinxing's inquiring gaze, Nie Yao pondered for a moment, nodded, and answered honestly: "To be honest, it's impossible not to be afraid at all..."
Seeing her admit it so readily, Li Jinxing was amused. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are very honest..."
Rather than listening to her confident words that she was not afraid, he would rather hear the truth from her!
"It's not too late to regret letting me move in now..." Li Jinxing reminded with a low laugh. In fact, he actually had this plan.
After all, she had saved his life. It was neither moral nor logical for him to let such a simple person as her be involved in this complicated dispute behind the scenes!
Nie Yao finished the last mouthful of millet porridge, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then shrugged and replied, "Although it was you who insisted on moving in, it was me who agreed, so I won't regret it. In fact, I won't regret any decision I've made!"
When she said this, she met his gaze calmly and spoke slowly and solemnly, "I saved your life, and you repaid my kindness. Now you are in danger as well. It would be unkind and unjust for me to kick you out at this time, not to mention that you are still injured!"
Nie Yao stood up and began to clean up the leftovers on the table. Seeing Li Jinxing still sitting at the table motionless, she waved her hand and ordered, "But even if you stay here, you can't act like a big shot. Please help me throw away this garbage!"
Seeing her casually start to order him to do things, Li Jinxing couldn't help but laugh.
He had met so many women, but she was probably the only one who dared to command him so legitimately...
Li Jinxing was not annoyed. He took the packed garbage from her hand, got up and walked out.
Nie Yao took the glasses and dishes from the table into the kitchen and washed them. When she heard the door open and footsteps approach, she asked without turning around, "Have you thrown away all the garbage?"
Perhaps it was the sound of the water that covered up Li Jinxing's voice. Nie Yao did not hear his answer until she finished washing and turned off the faucet.
She picked up the rag and wiped the glass, then asked again, "Li Jinxing, I'm asking you a question. Have you thrown away all the garbage?"
