Leaning against his chest, Gu Qianqian had her eyes half-closed, an expression of bliss on her face as she remained silent. Despite not knowing what terrifying thing might happen next, his embrace made the storms in her life seem less fearsome...
Lu Zhanbei, thank you! I really, really thank you!
"I really want to hold you like this forever, but elder Mr. Gu is still outside…"
At his voice, the young girl finally opened her eyes, but instead of letting go of him as he'd hoped, she clung onto him even tighter, "But Lu Zhanbei, I...I don't know what to do next."
"If you don't know what to do, then do nothing. Just stay by my side."
She shook her head: "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about... Uncle Gu Baichuan... and my mom..."
"Hmm?"
These past couple of days had been hectic for Gu Qianqian, but that was intentional. Staying busy was the only way she could avoid overthinking.
But no matter how hard she tried, the ugly truth was something she couldn't forget.
