But can such wishes really come true?
Lin Yuan knew in her heart that they could not. Xia Zheng must have understood this too, right? As far back as their time in Yecheng, they had already crossed paths with the Second Prince. Maybe even earlier, when Xia Zheng decided to go into business to raise funds for Zhao Hongde, he had willingly stepped into that whirlpool.
Still, he wanted to pluck her out of this trouble.
Because he loved her and couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest harm or the smallest grievance.
Lin Yuan bit her lip and ultimately did not voice the thoughts she clearly understood. Since Xia Zheng wished for her to be the little lady under his wing, why not try out this feeling of being protected? Having a man guard her at all times was indeed a blessing.
"Alright," Lin Yuan smiled sweetly, nodding, "I'll listen to you."
