Chapter 71: Protect Her

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Nuo was speechless.

Damn it, couldn’t he say everything in one go?

Was it fun to keep people in suspense?

“It’s really her?” Zhou Nuo stood up excitedly. “Brother Xuan, let me tell you. This girl has another cousin. He’s Lu Yunge’s younger brother, Lu Xuege.

“This guy is an out-and-out idiot. You’ll also be an idiot if you go out with his cousin!”

Zhou Nuo was being polite when he called Lu Xuege an idiot.

Zhou Nuo felt that Lu Xuege deserved to be called the worst kind of names.

Lu Xuege had cracked the password Zhou Nuo had set and arrogantly left the words “you’re an idiot” on the computer screen. For that, he deserved the most vicious curse.

Hearing this, Xie Xuan said coldly, “So, you’re drinking the beer from an idiot’s fridge, does that make you an idiot?”

The moment he said that Zhou Nuo finished the last bit of beer in the can. He froze on the spot with the empty can in his hand. It was extremely awkward.

After calming down, Zhou Nuo sat down again. “Brother Xuan, are you serious?”

Actually, this question was unnecessary.

No one understood the importance of that bracelet more than Xie Xuan himself.

To have given it away, he must have thought about it carefully.

The open-plan viewing platform faced a wide swimming pool, and the sparkling water reflected a warm orange glow from the setting sun.

At this moment, Xie Xuan’s gaze stopped on the string of Dragon Eye Bodhi on his left wrist. Recalling the serious look on Lu Haiqiao’s face when she put the prayer beads on him, a gentleness gradually gathered in his beautiful eyes.

“I’m very serious about her.” His tone was very soft, but it was filled with determination.

Zhou Nuo shook his head. “It’s not a question of whether you’re serious or not. It’s a question of how to proceed in the future.

“I know that the Lu family has a certain amount of power in Country F, but that’s outside the borders after all. It’s impossible for you not to understand the logic.”

He had never seen Lu Haiqiao in person, but he had heard from Xie San that she looked like a soft and weak girl.

If she really had such a personality, even walking with Xie Xuan would put him under unimaginable pressure, let alone join the Xie family.

In the Xie family, other than Xie Guangde’s branch, there were all kinds of collateral relatives and in-laws. In addition…

Zhou Nuo sighed, not daring to think further.

The observation platform fell into a strange silence.

After an unknown period of time, Xie Xuan raised his head.

He remembered asking her if she was afraid.

How did she answer back then?

“Of course, I’m scared. Can’t you see that I’m so scared that I’m crying?” He was amazed that she could make a joke under such circumstances. “Since I’m going to be with her, I have the responsibility to protect her.” Zhou Nuo’s lips twitched. “Then did you ask her if she wanted that?

“Perhaps she only wants a calm and stable life. Even if she likes you, she might not be willing to accompany you through those bloody storms.” Even if she wanted to, she had to be able to bear it.

If she couldn’t take it, even if Xie Xuan didn’t mind, he would onlv be

protecting a burden.

She would hold him back.

“That’s why I advise you to find a time to talk to her. Once you’re done, at least you won’t have any regrets.”

“We will definitely talk about it, but now isn’t the time…”

The moment Xie Xuan finished speaking, Zhou Nuo suddenly stood up..
