Shi Nian heard a tiger's roar!
right!
A tiger's roar that shook the earth!
No wonder this garden was built on the far east side of the White Jade Palace, so far from the villa!
Otherwise, that tiger's roar would have been heard!
That would really scare people out of their wits!
So the pet this man is talking about is a tiger?
Shi Nian was startled.
Is it possible for someone to keep a tiger as a pet?
Just as Shi Nian was in shock, Zhan Xiuchen spoke up: "Do you dare to go in alone?"
Shi Nian was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Zhan Xiuchen, and Zhan Xiuchen looked at her too.
After a moment of silence, Shi Nian walked straight into the garden without saying a word.
As soon as I stepped inside, something rushed towards me from a distance.
It's a tiger.
The tiger was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, it had leaped in front of Shi Nian.
After another tiger roar, Shi Nian felt the ground beneath his feet tremble.
That was a tiger pouncing on her.
Her body trembled almost instinctively.
She could almost feel the gale-force winds that came with the tiger leaping down.
The tiger's gaping maw was clearly visible.
Just as the gaping maw was about to bite her, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
It is a war of repair and sinking.
"Bang!"
Upon seeing Zhan Xiuchen, the tiger immediately dropped to the ground.
Faced with the ferocious beast that Shi Nian had been fighting fiercely, it instantly lowered itself and lay docilely at Zhan Xiuchen's feet.
Zhan Xiuchen reached out and stroked the tiger's head, just like petting a cat.
While watching, I was terrified and speechless.
"You actually dared to come in alone?" Zhan Xiuchen's meaningful words came over.
“You’ve gone to such great lengths, you can’t possibly be feeding me to the tigers.” Shi Nian wasn’t stupid; she dared to come in because she understood the situation.
"Besides, I don't have much meat on me," Shi Nian said. "Even if you're going to feed a tiger, you should pick a fat one."
Zhan Xiuchen immediately smiled.
But a few seconds later, the man changed his tone again: "Shi Nian, you are very brave, but next time you encounter something like this, you have to let me accompany you."
“If I stay with you, even the fiercest tiger will turn into a cat. Otherwise, if you go it alone, you might not even have bones left.”
My breath hitched.
After Zhan Xiuchen finished speaking, she was puzzled for a few seconds.
But soon, she understood everything.
A hint of surprise flashed across Shi Nian's eyes.
"You knew everything?" Shi Nian asked softly.
No wonder this man suddenly brought her to see his pet; he had ulterior motives.
"Understood." Zhan Xiuchen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ah Feng said she was very smart.
That's right.
This woman is too smart; she understands things immediately.
After Zhan Xiuchen finished speaking, Shi Nian did not respond, but her clear black and white eyes remained fixed on Zhan Xiuchen.
Zhan Xiuchen frowned subtly under his gaze.
When Shi Nian looked into his eyes, he had the illusion that all his thoughts were being seen through.
Such a sharp gaze shouldn't belong to someone Shi Nian's age.
"Shi Nian," Zhan Xiuchen said again, "you are my wife, and protecting my wife is my duty as her husband. Do you understand?"
Shi Nian asked, “Mr. Zhan, what is a wife? A wife is someone who is formally married, carried by eight men.”
Zhan Xiuchen misunderstood.
So before Shi Nian could finish speaking, Zhan Xiuchen said, "Our wedding will be held in two months, and it will be the grandest and most magnificent wedding ever."
"Shi Nian, you will have everything you want."
Shi Nian shook her head and said, "These are all superficial things, Mr. Zhan. There is also respect. A husband should respect his wife, but you have not shown any respect to me."
"If you respect me, why would you send someone to follow me?"
"You said you would protect me, but you brought me here to warn and intimidate me."
"You say I'm your wife, but what's the difference between me and the tiger you keep?"
After saying that, Shi Nian looked down at the tiger at Zhan Xiuchen's feet.
The tiger lay docilely at Zhan Xiuchen's feet, motionless.
A complex emotion flashed in Shi Nian's eyes. She said softly, "Tigers should be the king of beasts, not private pets in gardens."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiu's heartstrings trembled.
The way he looked at Shi Nian had a different feel to it.
"Have you been to school?" Zhan Xiu asked after a moment.
Shi Nian's thoughts are not the kind of thoughts that people in slums should have.
Upon hearing Zhan Xiuchen's question, a mocking glint flashed in Shi Nian's eyes.
She said, "I didn't read many books. There aren't many books in the slums. If you read too many books, you will have your own thoughts. Once you have your own thoughts, you won't be easily controlled."
Zhan Xiuchen's eyes deepened with an even stronger strangeness: "So you figured all of this out by yourself?"
Shi Nian didn't speak, just looked at Zhan Xiuchen.
As Shi Nian looked at him like that, Zhan Xiuchen realized how stunningly beautiful Shi Nian's eyes were.
Black and white are clearly distinguished.
It's like a pool of white mercury embedded in black mercury.
But these beautiful eyes weren't empty.
It's like a collection of stories, making you want to explore it.
After a long silence, Zhan Xiuchen suddenly chuckled and said, "My little wife is really clever, so now it's my turn to answer her question."
“First, I didn’t send anyone to follow you. I sent someone to follow Wei Huafeng, which is how I found out that you were impersonating Guanyin.”
"Secondly, I brought you to Hulin to intimidate you, but this intimidation was not malicious. It was only because I hoped that my little wife would remember that if she got angry again next time, she should call on her husband to stand up for her."
"Third, you are different from my tiger. You are my wife, while the tiger is my pet. Shi Nian, I am willing to respect you."
After saying that, Zhan Xiuchen turned around and said, "Come, I'll take you somewhere."
Shi Nian paused, her breath catching in her throat.
I just brought her to Hulin.
So where are we taking her now?
Shi Nian followed silently.
When Zhan Xiuchen brought Shi Nian to that place, Shi Nian was shocked, and then a strange light appeared in her eyes!
