He took a few steps forward and called out in a deep voice, âMaster Qi!â
Jing Tian stopped in his tracks and turned around.
Gu Nian gave me a deep look. Finally, his gaze fell on Jing Tian. âMaster Qi, since Master Gu Er, Master Wu, as well as the Tong Family members are here, why donât I set up a time for everyone to meet? We can talk it out then so that the innocent are not hurt.â Jing Tian nodded. âMaster Liu is right. You can set the time. Master Si and I will definitely be there.â
Gu Nian said, âAlright, four oâclock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Give me some time to prepare.â He looked at me again. âTake Nanxing with you. I guarantee with my life that no one can hurt her!â
I had never seen Gu Nian like this before. He had always been gentle and refined. Now, he made me believe he was Master Liu of the Seven Brothers.
Jing Tian smiled faintly and hugged my shoulders tightly. âAlright! Weâll remember Master Liuâs kindness. Master Si and I will be there on time!â
After he finished speaking, he hugged me and turned to walk out.
I stopped in my tracks and turned to Gu Nian. âThank you, Gu Nian!â
Gu Nian smiled slightly. He was the Gu Nianzhi I knew again.
Lu Yanâs voice trembled. âGu Nian! Youâre actually willing to use your life to protect Nanxingâs safety?â.
Gu Nian said plainly, âSheâs worth it!â
Mr. President felt indignant. âJing Tianâ¦â
Jing Tian didnât turn around. âYou can do whatever you want. Go back and ask your masters if anyone is willing to seek justice for you.â
We left just like that.
I heaved a sigh of relief after getting into the car.
Jing Tian glanced at me. âWhatâs wrong? Do you feel sorry for Gu Nian? Let me tell you. Iâm jealous!â
I climbed onto his neck and kissed him on the cheek. âAlright, are you still jealous?â
He smiled. âYes, Iâm still jealous, but Iâm in a much better mood.â
I sat back in my seat. âGu Nian is really good to
me!â
Jing Tian nudged my head. âDonât mention other men in front of me!â
âWhy not? He is my friend! He is a good person.â I spoke up for him.
Jing Tian sighed. He started the car. âNanxing, you canât be friends with him because Gu Nianâs feelings for you are different from how you feel for him. You will show him kindness because you see him as a friend, but that is equivalent to giving him false hope. Therefore, he will treat you even better. Sooner or later, you will be touched. For Gu Nian, that is love. But for you, it might not be. But by then, everything will be too complicated.â
I thought for a while. I couldnât help but admire him. âJing Tian, you are so clever.â
Jing Tian shook his head and said with a smile, âThereâs no need to admire me. My goal is obvious. I canât let my wife be snatched away by another man.â
I said hurriedly, âI wonât love another man besides you! Youâre the only man in my eyes!â
Jing Tian nodded. âI like that. You should tell me more.â
I laughed. Jing Tian was getting cuter and cuter.
We had lost and reunited with each other more times than we could count. The fragility in our hearts was something only we knew. Therefore, we cherished every day that we were together. There was no reason to be coquettish. We said the things that were on our minds.
