"It’s not me who’s in danger now, it’s you!" Qiao Liang frowned and grabbed her arm. "After you left yesterday, I overheard their conversation in the kitchen. That Nancy said she would hand you over to Moses, they must be planning to harm you."
Indeed, just as she had anticipated, she couldn’t possibly deceive Moses that easily.
"How could that be possible." Despite the worry in her heart, Gan Yuan’s face showed a smile of disbelief. "You must have heard wrong, or... maybe they were just joking."
"I absolutely did not hear wrong." Qiao Liang said seriously, steadying her shoulders, "Littleyuan, you don’t understand these people. These nobles, don’t be fooled by how graceful they appear on the surface; in reality, they are all ruthless monsters. And about that Moses, even though I haven’t uncovered anything yet, I have an intuition that this man is definitely not just a businessman. Otherwise, an arrogant and ancient noble like Duke Locke would never cow to him..."
Gan Yuan felt helpless inside. "Okay, I know, I promise... I’ll be careful, don’t worry!"
Her calm demeanor Qiao Liang took for nonchalance.
"How could I possibly not worry!" Qiao Liang wrinkled his brow. "No... I have to tell Huangfu Jue!"
After saying this, he turned around and started pulling her toward the door.
These people were targeting her definitely because of Huangfu Jue; Qiao Liang felt it was necessary to inform Huangfu Jue about these matters.
Huangfu Jue was the master here; he must have a way to ensure her safet.
"Stop!" Gan Yuan called out hastily, biting her lip and shaking off his hand, "Qiao Liang, enough is enough!"
Qiao Liang turned his face in bewilderment. "Littleyuan, you..."
"I know you like me, so what?" Gan Yuan raised her left hand, frowning as she spoke, "I’ve already accepted Huangfu Jue’s marriage proposal. We’ll be getting married soon. Even if I beg you, stop pestering me, stay away from me, can you?"
Huangfu Jue had a prince’s identity, noble and dignified; Moses was wary of him and did not dare to act rashly.
But Qiao Liang was merely a rich man’s son; if he provoked Moses, that man would kill him without hesitation, and she couldn’t burden him, so... it had to be this way.
Qiao Liang stared at her finger with the ring for a few seconds before he regained his composure. "Littleyuan, you’ve got it all wrong, I just wanted to warn you, I meant nothing else!"
"Then good, you’ve done your warning now." She coldly lifted her right hand, pointing towards the entrance, "You can leave now!"
"I’m serious!" Qiao Liang said earnestly.
Gan Yuan bit her teeth, her words turning even colder and more venomous, "Even if someone really wants to harm me, Huangfu Jue can protect you, there’s no need for your concern. Your presence here only causes me trouble!"
She strode over, flung open the door, "Someone... escort Mr. Qiao out!"
"Fine!" Qiao Liang scowled, "I’m leaving... I’ll leave right away!"
Taking a deep breath and gazing at Gan Yuan’s face for a moment, Qiao Liang turned and walked briskly towards the exit.
Standing in the hall, watching him get into his car and drive away, Gan Yuan just pursed her lips.
Qiao Liang, I’m sorry!
"What’s the matter?" Huangfu Jue asked concernedly as he walked over.
"Nothing." Gan Yuan shrugged her shoulders, "From now on... he won’t come looking for me anymore."
"Actually..." Huangfu Jue raised his hand to steady her shoulder, "you can have your own friends."
