Only then did Lu Ling realize that the person was there for Qi Yuan.
The moment she was distracted, Lu Ling felt a pain in her arm and she lost her strength.
The next moment, Qi Yuan fell into the man's arms.
At this moment, Lu Ling had an intuition that if she hadn't subconsciously protected Qi Yuan just now, he might have directly crippled her arm and even taken half her life without hesitation.
Lu Ling had never seen a person who made her feel fear in her bones like he did.
This person was here for Qi Yuan and seemed to care a lot about her. However, Lu Ling was not at ease handing her over just like that.
Lu Ling attacked again. Soon, she realized that she was at a disadvantage in the previous battle not because she was carrying Qi Yuan. Now that the other party was carrying Qi Yuan, she was still at a disadvantage.
This realization made Lu Ling break out in cold sweat.
She was anxious and threatened, "I'm the eldest daughter of the Lu family in the capital. If you dare to hurt her, the Lu family won't let you off."
Lu Ling was a little angry. She had always fought head-on. This was the first time she was using her family to threaten someone.
The people of the Lu family in Jingdu were not people who could be provoked in a small place like Jianglin City.
However, the man in the shadows did not seem to care about her threat.
At this moment, Lu Ling heard something extremely possessive.
"She's mine."
Lu Ling frowned. Who was this person? Why was he so possessive of Qi Yuan? Qi Yuan was already married.
Lu Ling pursed her lips and confronted the man standing in the shadows.
Their swords were drawn, as if they were about to fight again.
At this moment, Qi Yuan, who was unconscious, stirred slightly. She was like a nightmare. Without the rational indifference of lucidity, she was miserable and sad.
She leaned into the man's arms as if she felt a familiar presence. Like a kitten abandoned by the world, she suddenly sobbed softly.
The man and Lu Ling's gazes instantly landed on Qi Yuan.
The hands around Qi Yuan's waist subconsciously relaxed.
One was a little anxious and did not attack again.
In her nightmares, Qi Yuan saw her brother, who doted on her, wrongly imprisoned. She saw her parents, who were devoted to her, die tragically. She was in agony.
Her small hands gripped the front of her shirt unconsciously, and her quiet sobs turned into cries.
Qi Yuan wept.
Be it the cowardly Qi Yuan in her previous life or the crazy Qi Yuan after her rebirth, had not cried before.
But she was crying now.
The flames of war between the man and Lu Ling were instantly extinguished.
The two who had wanted to beat each other to death were equally at a loss.
Lu Ling panicked. "I don't care who you are or what you want to do. She's very sick now. If she continues to stay here in the night wind, her condition might get even worse. How about we bring her back to the dormitory to take her medicine first?"
The man who wanted to take Qi Yuan away stiffened and nodded in agreement.
Lu Ling ran into the dormitory with the man.
She snapped on the light and looked sharply at the man. She wanted to wait until she saw his face. If anything happened, she could settle the score later.
Then, Lu Ling saw it clearly and was completely stunned.
Young… Eldest Young Master Shen!!!
"You… you're Shen Yutang?" Lu Ling was shocked.
She was sure that the person in front of her was the Eldest Young Master of the Shen family, Shen Yutang. It was difficult to forget such a man after seeing him once. It was impossible for her to remember his face wrongly.
But… but for the marriage between the Shen family and the Qi family, Qi Yuan was supposed to marry Second Young Master Shen.
Then what was the situation now?
How could Eldest Young Master Shen say that Qi Yuan was his?
Could it be that the two brothers of the Shen family had taken a liking to Qi Yuan and were playing some melodramatic story of two brothers fighting?
Lu Ling looked at Shen Yutang strangely…
