n“Mr. Lu, you’re too nervous.”

nHe Youran couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m an adult, and I understand the rules of this world. I’m not a weak and powerless child who can’t retaliate when others people give me a difficult time.”

nLu Qingzhuo fell silent.

nYes, of course he knew how strong He Youran was.

nIn the first hospital of Rong city, when she faced that situation, how she dealt with it, and what she did when she first came to the Lu family… she was stronger and more capable than he had imagined.

nBut, even if she was this powerful, he would still be worried.

n“But, thank you.”

nSeeing Lu Qingzhuo’s dejected look, He Youran couldn’t help but approach him. She stretched out her arms and hugged Lu Qingzhuo’s neck. Her soft cheeks pressed next to his face.

nThis was the first time she had taken the initiative to be so close to Lu Qingzhuo.

nLu Qingzhuo’s heart was beating wildly, and he really wanted to turn around and hug her.

nBut, He Youran hugged him so tightly that he could only calm down and bask in the night breeze with her.

nHe Youran didn’t know why she suddenly made such a move, but by the time she reacted, her arm had already wrapped itself around Lu Qingzhuo’s neck.

nShe thought, maybe it was because this was the first time someone wanted to protect her?

nIn her past life, she had always held on because of all sorts of things. Everyone had told her that she had to be independent, and she had never felt protected before.

nThis feeling was very novel and beautiful.

nIt was so good that she felt comfortable just sitting in a corner with Lu Qingzhuo without moving.

n“Mr. Lu…” She sighed as she called out to Lu Qingzhuo. Like a small animal, she rubbed her smooth face against the side of his face.

n“Huh?” Lu Qingzhuo’s heart was almost melted by her rubbing. His previous depression and nervousness had melted into her unconscious dependence.

n“Trust me, okay?”

n“Of course I trust you,” Lu Qingzhuo said. “But this has nothing to do with me wanting to protect you.”

nWasn’t this man a little too frank?

nHe Youran’s face turned red from his blunt words. She was even more embarrassed to raise her head from his neck.

nLu Qingzhuo patted her arm and held He Youran’s wrist with his slender fingers. He gently pulled her from his back to him and stared at her with his dark eyes, as if he was hiding an endless amount of affection.

n“Do you know that I really want to be a stupid ruler?”

n“Huh?” He Youran was confused.

n“No matter what the occasion is, protecting my woman is what I wanted to do the most,” Lu Qingzhuo pressed his forehead against He Youran’s forehead, he said gently, “No matter how much the Lu family is being suppressed, we are still the second best in China. If I really don’t want it, who would dare to make things difficult for my wife?”

n“Then you’ll have another nickname the next day — wife slave!” He Youran laughed at him.

n“Okay.” Lu Qingzhuo nodded and smiled. “But, I’m willing.”

nHe Youran: “…”

nThis man was too much of a transgressor!

nShe felt that if this continued, she would sooner or later fall into the love trap that this man had created for her!

n“Alright, alright, hurry up and go back.” She uncomfortably distanced herself from Lu Qingzhuo and looked around at him, “There are so many people watching. Today is a banquet for Shouxin. I don’t want to become the center of gossip…”

n“We’re husband and wife. What can they gossip about?” Lu Qingzhuo said with a smile, but he still let go of He Youran.

nHis Mrs. Lu was a little thin-skinned. He couldn’t rush things.

nHe thought that when they got along again, He Youran would slowly get used to him.

nHe couldn’t wait for that day to come…
