She paused, looked up, and met the man's deep gaze.
Gu Linchao paused, gently rubbed her head with his large hand, and said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep, don't overthink it. I'll take care of everything. I said I would protect you for the rest of your life."
Wen Nong Nong blinked, a warmth rising in her heart. For no reason, she developed a sense of trust in him, and she subconsciously moved closer to him.
"In Your Highness's eyes, I am a weak woman, but I also want to protect Your Highness and make you live a carefree, peaceful, and joyful life." She said softly, reaching out to wrap her arms around his waist.
Gu Linchao was taken aback, and then his heart was deeply shaken.
She actually said she would protect him...
I still remember when he was fourteen, the Crown Prince of Jiande passed away, and the following year, his father, the Emperor, fell critically ill.
He was appointed to a critical mission and supported the seven-year-old Gu Heng to ascend the throne. However, the court was not yet stable. At this time, the Bei Di suddenly attacked. They advanced all the way to Tunzhou. Seeing that Tunzhou was about to fall and would soon reach the capital, he hurriedly put on his armor and led his army to fight a bloody battle with them.
That battle lasted for half a month. Although the Northern Di eventually withdrew their troops, they also paid a heavy price.
After that, he rectified the court, trained troops, strengthened border defenses, quelled rebellions, repelled foreign invaders, protected the Great Cause's land, and safeguarded the people of all directions. Over the years, he has never dared to stop for a moment.
The people of Daye call him their guardian deity, and he is accustomed to protecting Daye from foreign invasion. To others, he is invincible and incomparably powerful. But now, there is a seemingly frail girl who says she wants to protect him...
This feeling is wonderful.
Because no one had ever said such a thing to him before.
Although he doesn't need anyone's protection, but...
There is a girl right now who vowed to protect him.
A warm current surged through his body, giving him an impulse to meld this girl into his heart and etch her into his very bones.
How could there be such a special girl in this world?
A feeling of being moved welled up inside him, making him want to cherish and pamper this girl.
He stared at her with his dark eyes for a long time without saying a word.
When Wen Nongnong saw that he hadn't said a word after she said those things, she couldn't help but hesitate. Would he think that she was being arrogant and overestimating herself?
She was about to say something to save face when she saw the man's handsome face suddenly slowly approach.
She blinked and stared at him blankly.
Until the man's cool lips covered hers.
She glanced at him with some surprise, then closed her eyes.
This time, Gu Linchao's kiss lasted a little longer.
Just when she thought something was going to happen between them that night, he ended the long kiss.
The man's low breathing made Wen Nongnong blush.
She quietly looked up at him.
The man's eyes were closed, his thick, dark eyelashes trembling slightly, his thin lips were as red as blood, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead, as if he were enduring something...
Even if I've never eaten pork, I've seen pigs run.
His appearance clearly showed that he was already aroused, yet he was still trying his best to restrain himself.
Seeing his reaction, Wen Nongnong felt relieved.
If he is still attracted to her, it proves that she still has charm. Otherwise, even though they have shared a bed many times, he has always remained sober and did not touch her. She would think that she has no attraction for him at all.
But the way he looks is really irresistible.
