Xing Jiuan was silent for a moment. "Sorry."
She couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to stay away from Lu Zhichen forever.
Her head hurt a little. In her previous life, every time Huo Chulan did something bad, the one who was hurt was Xing Jiuan. However, no one would blame Huo Chulan.
Huo Chulan was such a good girl. She was dignified, elegant, and poised. She had been meticulously cultivated as the daughter of the Huo family. She was boundlessly glorious.
Xing Jiuan was just a green leaf serving as a foil to the fresh flowers. When she was hurt, she wouldn't cry or complain…
Besides, who would believe that Huo Chulan would hurt Xing Jiuan?
She was such a good girl.
Also, that man loved Huo Chulan so eagerly. He did not hesitate to take away Xing Jiuan's life for her sake.
"Jiuan."
Xing Jiuan regained her senses and saw Lu Zhichen's worried gaze.
Her fingers moved. "Lu Zhichen, why are you treating me so well?"
His being nice to her for no reason made her feel flustered.
The Ninth Master of the Lu family in her memory was not like this.
The Huo family in her memory was not like that either.
Many of her memories had changed since the day she was reborn.
She was originally happy.
But now, things were far beyond her expectations!
Xing Jiuan had never liked the process of solving puzzles. Most of the time, what she wanted was to see the outcome at a glance.
Xing Jiuan would panic if she couldn't control certain things.
This was an example.
In her dream, Lu Zhichen… was also wearing a red string.
He had previously told Xing Jiuan that it was a token of love that Xing Jiuan had given him.
The Huo family in her previous life had been extremely cold to her.
They were actually quite good to her. They would give her enough money. They also gave her a house and a car. They would send her clothes regularly every month. They even hired a nanny to take care of her…
It was just that they ignored her coldly.
But why were they behaving like this in this life…?
Xing Jiuan looked at Lu Zhichen again. "Just because of a red string?
"Because you had a lot of troubles and I was your benefactor?
"Do you believe in all these?
"This…"
"As long as it's you, I'll believe it." Lu Zhichen interrupted Xing Jiuan and looked at her seriously.
"As long as it's you, I'll believe it," he continued. He repeated them as if the words were important.
"I've carried this red string with me for over ten years.
"I don't know about my own thoughts.
"I don't know why I'm being nice to you.
"Why do I need a reason to be nice to you?
"21st, what are you afraid of?"
Lu Zhichen was too domineering as he forced Xing Jiuan to retreat step by step. Finally, she couldn't retreat anymore and refuted him softly without any confidence.
"I'm not afraid."
She had climbed trees and went into the water. She had also grown up with ferocious beasts. What could she be afraid of when she was such an outstanding secret agent instructor?
Lu Zhichen was too strange.
It was because he was strange that she… she was just taking out her anger on him.
All because she was angered by Huo Chulan.
In her previous life, Lu Zhichen had never seen her before. In her previous life, they clearly had no interactions at all.
Who asked him to change so much in this life!
Lu Zhichen listened to her soft and uncertain rebuttal and could not help but smile. He quickly pursed his lips and put on a serious and sad look. "You said before that my fiancée must be you."
During this period of time, he recalled the past seriously and retrieved more memories of his interactions with little Xing Jiuan.
Previously, he had not thought too much about it. He had even forgotten about this engagement. He only remembered the obedient and naughty little girl.
If she made a mistake, she would be like as she was now. Her voice would be soft and weak, and she would not dare to look into other people's eyes.. But she would still say that she wasn't in the wrong.
