At this moment, the originally lively banquet hall was silent. The person who instructed the waiter to poison Qiao Xi had not been found yet. Everyone was worried that the murderer would attack again. Everyone sat in their seats in fear and looked around.
After Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng entered the lounge, Qiao Xi was suddenly pulled into Gu Zheng's embrace. His eyes gradually turned from light brown to scarlet, and his entire body emitted a cold aura. This was the first time Qiao Xi had seen Gu Zheng lose his composure like this.
He pulled Qiao Xi tightly into his embrace, and an icy-cold and trembling voice sounded from his throat. "You were almost injured. If that glass of wine had really spilled on you…"
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to meet his and comforted him softly, saying, "With you protecting me, I'll be fine."
