Chapter 374: Unable to Protect Oneself
At this moment, in the quiet farmyard, time seemed to pass more slowly.
Gu Jingchun took his clothes out of the basin and hung them on the clothesline one by one.
These were her clothes, but because they were stained with blood, she changed into her mother-in-law's daughter's clothes and washed her own clothes.
Originally, the mother-in-law wanted to help her wash.
However, Gu Jingchun was not incapable of washing clothes, and she had nothing to do at the moment, so she simply washed them herself.
Behind Gu Jingchun, Mo Junxing was lying there, his eyes fixed on Gu Jingchun.
Han Sheng, who was sitting next to him, was helping Mo Junxing wash clothes.
While washing, he looked at Gu Jingchun angrily.
That look seems a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
Mo Junxing really liked this quiet and harmonious scene.
They seemed like an ordinary couple, living a normal life, quarreling and joking, in a quiet and peaceful manner.
Gu Jingchun also noticed his gaze and wanted to pretend not to see it at first, but he couldn't stand his staring gaze anymore, so he turned around and glared at him fiercely.
"What are you looking at? Close your eyes."
Mo Junxing curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Gu Jingchun, I find that we are really a perfect match."
"If you like this kind of atmosphere, I will order someone to build a small courtyard like this in the palace. We can grow vegetables together, wash clothes together, and take care of... the children together."
Gu Jingchun paused slightly while holding the clothes, and turned around and angrily shouted, "Mo Junxing, when did I ever say that I like this kind of atmosphere?"
"Am I stupid?"
"If you want to live a comfortable life, why not grow vegetables, wash clothes, and cook? Isn't it good to have food and clothes provided for you?"
When Mo Junxing heard this, he laughed even more happily, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"Okay, then you can just live your life with ease, and I'll take care of all the farming, laundry, and cooking. How do you say that?"
Gu Jingchun: ...
How come I didn't realize before that Mo Junxing was so stubborn and unyielding? When did she say she wanted to live with him?
What a joke.
However, Mo Junxing seemed unaware of Gu Jingchun's thoughts and spoke again.
"Jingchun, I'm serious."
"I know I have a bad temper. Maybe I scared you before."
"But if you don't like it, I can change it."
“Before, no one taught me what I should do or how to get along with others.
Being ruthless is a principle I have understood since childhood.
Because only in this way will others be afraid and not dare to bully me."
“I’ve been doing this for so many years.
I didn’t know it was wrong.”
"But now, if you don't like me starting to change, but I need you to teach me, okay?"
Gu Jingchun looked at Mo Junxing, as if he was meeting Mo Junxing for the first time.
She didn't expect that Mo Junxing could be so...humble.
However, Gu Jingchun remained unmoved.
She sighed and, for once, began to follow Mo Jun to the end.
"Mo Junxing, I told you clearly last time."
"I won't like you, and I won't be with you, even if you take me to Da Qi."
Mo Junxing nodded and said indifferently: "I know, and I don't care. As long as you are by my side, that's enough."
Gu Jingchun sighed.
"Mo Junxing, this isn't how two people should be together."
"It should be about mutual attraction and love. It doesn't mean that if you force two people together, they will be together. Do you understand?"
Mo Junxing curled his lips.
"I don't need to understand, nor do I need to know. I just need to know my thoughts, to know that you can affect the changes in my emotions, and to know that you need me. That's enough."
Gu Jingchun: "No, this is not enough."
"This is not like, nor is it love."
"Two people need to love each other to be together. Forcing them together is not love, it is coercion, it is imprisonment. Not only will it not allow love to grow, but it will only breed resentment."
Mo Junxing sneered, "Don't think I don't understand."
"Jingchun, there are many kinds of love."
“Loving each other is love, being moved is love, unrequited love is love, secret love is love, letting go is love, but in the same way, possession is also love.”
He said with a sneer.
There was a determined smile on his lips.
"And I am the most selfish one. What I want is possessive love."
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly.
"Possession?"
"You can't even protect yourself now, and you're still talking about possession."
"Can't protect yourself?"
He laughed even harder.
"Do you think you can handle me with just your few men?"
Gu Jingchun's pupils suddenly dilated.
"You...you actually know..."
Mo Junxing's eyes froze in an instant.
"Gu Jingchun, I'm injured, not dead. Do you think you can accomplish anything by just bringing a hairpin and luring a few people from your company?"
"It's just walking into a trap."
Gu Jingchun looked at Mo Junxing, his expression suddenly changed, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"My Lord, what are you talking about? I just saw that you were so badly injured and had no one to take care of you, so I specially called a few people to take care of you.
Besides, Empress Dowager Xiao's men may come after us at any time. If they discover our whereabouts in advance, the three of us will be no match for them.
That's why I specifically called them here so that they can better protect you when the time comes."
Mo Junxing snorted lightly.
"Yeah?"
"That's natural."
Gu Jingchun nodded obediently.
"If you don't believe me, when they come, I'll have them show you how to do it themselves... But, Your Majesty, please don't hurt them!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Junxing's eyes fell on Gu Jingchun, as if he was looking at him carefully.
"But...what if I were to hurt them?"
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun's expression changed again and again, with worry and anger. Finally, he forced himself to hold it back, blinked his eyes, and decided to coax Mo Junxing first to prevent him from killing innocent people again and hurting innocent people.
"If you, my Lord, hurt them."
"Then...I'm going to be sad!"
Gu Jingchun blinked as he spoke.
That look, that expression, that demeanor...it's so hypocritical.
Han Sheng, who was standing beside him, twitched his lips and couldn't help but shiver, with goose bumps all over his body.
"Lord, this... Miss Gu... is she okay? Why did she suddenly become like this? Could it be... that she was possessed by some evil creature?"
Mo Junxing gave him a cold look.
