"It’s me, follow me."
He grabbed her and ran towards the right.
"What a coincidence." Gu Xichen cursed, "Someone’s trying to kill me, it’s infuriating, damn it, there’s always someone after my life."
"I don’t know who they are." Gu Xichen asked, "Why are you here?"
"I was ambushed and brought here." She kicked him while running, "Did I not warn you about Yuan Yi’s incident? Told you to bring more bodyguards when you go out, did you stuff your ears with shit?"
"You have the nerve to criticize me? Why didn’t you bring any? If you had, would you have ended up here?" Gu Xichen retorted, "That’s what you get for valuing your freedom, there’s always a price to pay."
"Probably those chasing you know this about you, that’s why they came to kill you, and if they fail this time, they will probably come after you again."
"It’s fine, I have a long life ahead, can live up to a hundred years."
He laughed and dragged her as he ran desperately.
Both of them were really too tired from running, having covered quite a distance, they squatted down to rest.
Didn’t dare to stay long, the two slipped into another village nearby, asked the villagers for directions and even bought a bicycle and an umbrella from one of the villagers, paid for by Gu Xichen.
Her leg was injured, so he rode the bike on the main road while she held the umbrella over them.
"You don’t look heavy, why does it feel so heavy carrying you?"
She pinched him, "Just ride properly, stop talking so much nonsense, is the person who sent people to kill you your stepmother?"
"She would probably be the one who most wants you to have an accident, after all, you are the biggest obstacle to her son taking over the Gu Family," Lili said softly, "just like she once wanted to get rid of Teacher too, unfortunately, after several failures she was told on by Teacher to your father, and she never dared again."
"How come I don’t know about this?" Gu Xichen had never heard of it before, "My mom never mentioned this to me."
"Teacher didn’t want you to know, but his constant reminders to be wary of your stepmother weren’t just empty words."
In fact, he indeed took it seriously, almost not needing his mother to specifically remind him to be extra cautious.
Along the way, the two of them chatting made the journey far from dull.
When they reached Kangbei District, a white luxury car suddenly stopped beside them. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel~fire~net
Long Yubei braved the rain, got out of the car, and forcibly pulled them into the vehicle before driving off, kicking up dust.
The car drove into Qinyuan District, Lili looked at her husband beside her, his face cold, and she became angry too, "Why are you angry?"
The car suddenly braked, catching Lili off-guard, her heartbeat almost jumped into her throat.
Long Yubei’s eyes were deep like pools, and when he stared at her, the chill was very apparent, "Do you know what time it is now?!"
Though unsure of the exact time, seeing the sparse traffic on the road, it must be quite late.
He was furious, staring at her outfit, his eyes almost shooting fire.
"Missing phone calls and riding a broken bike with Gu Xichen in the rain to romance?"
Realizing that Lili was misunderstood, she felt both annoyed and amused at the same time, "I’m not retarded, I’m your wife, how could I not answer your calls and go riding bikes in the rain romantically with him? I was ambushed tonight, and he was being chased to kill, we just happened to meet, and he bought a bicycle from a farmer’s house to bring me back, you’re thinking too much."
