There was still no expression on Zi Wei’s gloomy face, but he voiced a warning that contained a hidden threat. “Next time, don’t.”
Su Yingxue agreed on the surface. “Okay, I won’t use needles on you anymore.”
However, she still had to administer the medicine.
“You’re not allowed to make me unconscious,” Zi Wei stated solemnly, enunciating each word.
Su Yingxue attempted to change the subject. “You stay here and watch over him. I’ll go back to the Marquis’s Manor to check if my younger sister has returned.”
“Su Yingxue.” Zi Wei called her by her full name, and the tone carried a hint of killing intent, causing Su Yingxue to halt her steps.
She turned around, and the purple hues in his eyes emitted a bloodthirsty aura. “I want to protect you, for a lifetime.”
As long as he was alive, Su Yingxue couldn’t be harmed in front of him.
At that moment, Su Yingxue felt warmth in her heart.
Even though their relationship was merely an employer-employee one, with Zi Wei being an assassin she had hired, his persistent desire to protect her made her want to say, “Thank you.”
Zi Wei froze for a moment as if he didn’t expect Su Yingxue to say that.
He also didn’t anticipate that her smile would be so captivating.
Su Yingxue asked Zi Wei to stay and guard Chu Chengye, but he refused, insisting on following her.
Su Yingxue couldn’t resist him, so she could only give Chu Chengye more medicine, making him sleep for a day and a night without opening his eyes.
On the way back to the Marquis’s Manor, Zi Wei did not say a word. Su Yingxue interacted with him more to gain his trust. In the future, if she had the chance to take him down and detoxify him, she would start chatting with him.
When they discussed other topics, Zi Wei responded with silence or simple acknowledgments. It was only when they mentioned the Silver Moon Pavilion that he would speak a complete sentence.
“Is Hong Lian the owner of the Silver Moon Pavilion?” Su Yingxue recalled that enchanting woman and couldn’t help but feel cautious.
Zi Wei pursed his lips. “You could say that.”
“What do you mean by ‘could say that’? Does it mean that the Silver Moon Pavilion has more than one owner?” Su Yingxue tilted her head.
The corners of Zi Wei’s eyes slightly lifted, as if he admired her intelligence. “Yes.”
“Then do you know Hong Lian? What kind of woman is she? Compared to me, who is more formidable?” Su Yingxue’s coquettish face exuded confidence.
After all, she snatched him away from Hong Lian. He should support her, shouldn’t he?
Zi Wei shattered Su Yingxue’s fantasy with a single word. “She.”
Su Yingxue’s expression instantly turned cold, and the words not happy’ were faintly written on her face.
Although Zi Wei wasn’t skilled at comforting people, he explained seriously, “She is ruthless, but you, you are better than her.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue’s expression softened a bit. “That’s true. You have been devoted to the Silver Moon Pavilion for so long, yet she is unwilling to detoxify and help heal your body. She is not a good master. 1 may not have her level of power, but those who follow me will live well. Only by staying alive do we have the right to speak.”
In this second chance at life, nobody knew better than her that being alive was more important than anything else.
Zi Wei followed silently behind her. In his heart, there was an icy mountain, but cracks slowly began to appear. He inexplicably wanted to get closer to Su Yingxue. There seemed to be light and warmth emanating from her.
In the Marquis’s Manor, Su Dingheng was so anxious that he had become much thinner. When he saw Su Yingxue return, he instinctively wanted to point at her and scold her.
However, when the words reached his lips, he restrained himself and changed to another question. “Yingxue, did your genius doctor enter the palace? Why hasn’t he brought Rou’er out yet?”
“Su Yurou still hasn’t returned to the residence?” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows, feeling somewhat surprised..
