Xiaoqiao's heart finally returned to where it belonged.
She was becoming increasingly fearful of loss, always afraid that he would leave her because of this.
Xiaoqiao silently took the medicine and water and swallowed it down in one go.
Worried about hurting him, she asked hesitantly, "Gu Hangshen... is your leg okay?"
"It's fine, it's just the calf that got injured." Gu Hangshen took the empty cup and placed it on the table.
"Would it be okay if I arranged for someone to protect you? Do you still remember Mu Yao?"
"Mu Yao... wasn't she my assistant back then?"
No wonder she felt so formidable and skilled when she first saw her. Was she the one Gu Hangshen had arranged to protect her all along?
How much of a worry must she have been for him, always needing his protection in every situation, fearing the slightest mishap.
Regarding the saying, "Because there is someone I must protect, I am bound to lose," she now nearly lacked the confidence to argue.
