Now, Qin Mu is on the run and frequently commits murder, making him impossible to guard against. Ji Zhuo felt that he could no longer let him continue like this.
Moreover, he had some questions that he needed to clarify with Qin Mu face to face.
Lin Xihe knew that Ji Zhuo had made up his mind, so she stopped talking.
“I’m leaving soon, I just came to see you. I heard you met Jiang Huairou today, so don’t see her again. Even if she’s not a bad person, she’s still confused. She met Sun Ningxiang as soon as she left the manor, so I suppose she came to see you at Sun Ningxiang’s instigation.”
"Yes, we won't see each other again."
When Ji Zhuo saw Lin Xihe nod slightly and softly agree to his words, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little.
His eyes were filled with tenderness and guilt as he finally mustered the courage to bring up the embarrassing incident between them: "When I came here, I was really afraid that you would never talk to me again."
“If you had considered these things, you shouldn’t have done that yesterday.”
Ji Zhuo looked aggrieved and said, "Didn't I hold back in the end?"
"Isn't it because I cried all night?" Lin Xihe silently added in her mind, "And also, you're not very good at..." But she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Ji Zhuo was afraid of hurting the child because of his lack of experience, so he dared not act rashly.
“You’ve become more and more prone to crying since you had this child,” Ji Zhuo said, reaching out to affectionately ruffle Lin Xihe’s hair as usual, but Lin Xihe quickly slapped his hand away as soon as it touched her hair.
"It's none of your business."
"Alright, whatever. While I'm gone, don't remove the guards from your residence. When I return, if you still want to reduce their numbers, I'll lay off some more people."
“One hundred people are enough. This is the capital, so even if someone causes trouble, it won’t be too much. Besides, if there is any real danger, these one hundred people can hold out until the government officials arrive. It’s really inconvenient for me to have them here.” After Lin Xihe finished speaking, she looked at Ji Zhuo expectantly, afraid that he would not agree.
Ji Zhuo thought for a moment before reluctantly agreeing: "Okay."
Ji Zhuo gazed at Lin Xihe again, as if trying to etch every subtle expression and every strand of her hair into his heart.
After a long while, he slowly stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
Lin Xihe watched Ji Zhuo's retreating figure, knowing in her heart that this departure might mean she wouldn't see him for a long time.
She finally couldn't help but speak up: "A-Zhuo".
Upon hearing the sound, Ji Zhuo turned around quickly, his eyes filled with longing. He strode to the bedside and asked anxiously, "Xi He, you can't bear to part with me?"
Lin Xihe's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled slightly: "A-Zhuo, be careful on your journey, and don't get hurt."
Her concern was genuine at that moment, but her determination to leave was unwavering.
"Okay." Ji Zhuo said, slowly moving closer to Lin Xihe's lips. Lin Xihe did not pull away, letting Ji Zhuo gently peck her lips.
"I will be back as soon as possible."
