Gu Yuzhen was just leaving his study room as the phone in his hand lit up.
He paused for a moment before opening it, and frowned instantly.
[ Sir, Miss Ming has just left her home and was followed by Ming Lai. She is now at Hua Ting Apartment! ]
After receiving the message, Gu Yuzhen hadn’t even gotten close to his bedroom before turning around to go downstairs.
A silvery-gray Ferrari flew through the quiet streets a few minutes later.
A lot at the Hua Ting Apartments had been purchased privately by Ming Qu. He had come to learn about this from Ah Jiang.
Now, she was there in the middle of the night, followed by Ming Lai. He was afraid that something would happen to her.
He sped up, finally stopping outside the residence.
Gu Yuzhen looked around as he straightened up his suit jacket, and walked in.
Upstairs, Ming Qu had been about to go to bed, yawning before taking one last look at the surveillance screens.
Just as she had entered the bedroom, her doorbell rang.
Ming Qu’s hand, which was taking off her clothes, froze as her eyes widened in alert.
Ming Lai wouldn’t have come back, right?
Thinking back to that year when she had worked together with Du Linxi to kidnap her in the middle of the night, Ming Qu shuddered.
Even if she could beat Ming Lai, a weak girl like her wouldn’t beat a man like Du Linxi.
With this mind, she picked up a golf club that had been placed by the door as she walked quietly to the living room.
The doorbell was still ringing, and her heart was racing. She slowly raised the golf club in her hands.
She took a few steps closer to the door and looked out through the peephole. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. She put down the golf club, opening the door.
“Why are you here?”
Gu Yuzhen, who was on the other side of the door, was a little taken aback by her behaviour.
He turned anyway, walking in.
After the door was closed, he looked around the house for a while before easing up and walking towards her.
“That woman left?”
“Which woman?”
Ming Qu was confused as she watched him walk towards the bedroom.
Gu Yuzhen’s eyes were burning as she trailed closely behind.
He was a firm and steady person, but at some point, Ming Qu had appeared and disrupted his usual routines.
“Ah Jiang said that Ming Lai followed you here.”
Ming Qu turned around, a look of disbelief in her eyes.
“You’re spying on me.”
He had been telling her about Ming Lai, but she changed the topic.
Gu Yuzhen took a step forward before hugging her in his arms. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not spying on you, I’m protecting you. My woman cannot be harmed in any way.”
Hearing this, she felt immense joy well up in her heart as the corners of his lips curled up.
Ming Qu allowed him to hug her as her delicate face gradually turned red.
“She did follow me, but I drove her away outside.”
There was a hint of shy pride in her words.
Gu Yuzhen tipped his head, and his lips brushed past her ear. “I thought she had come to look for you, I was worried…”
Without waiting for him to finish, Ming Qu broke free from his embrace. She raised her head slightly towards him before asking solemnly, “Gu Yuzhen, are you sincere towards me?”
“Of course.”
Without hesitation, he raised a hand and swore, “I swear before you, I, Gu Yuzhen, have never fallen in love with any woman in my entire life. And now, you are the first and only one.”
A man with such noble status and an outstanding temperament had just sworn in front of her. This actually made Ming Qu feel a little vain.
“PFFT!”
Suddenly, she burst out laughing.
Seeing her like this, a rare, genuine smile appeared on Gu Yuzhen’s rigid face.
“Then no matter what, I am your woman.”
After a long time, she stopped laughing enough to look at him.
Her pair of bright, clear eyes looked like the rarest gems in the world. It made him want to hide and protect them well.
“I’m sorry about that night… It must have been hard on you. But don’t worry. I won’t let Ming Lai go. I’m only refraining from doing anything now because she’s still your sister, and the eldest daughter of the Ming family.”
“She’s not my sister. She was the one who almost killed me back then. She stabbed me in the heart, cut my eyes, and kicked me off a cliff a couple hundred thousand feet high. Now, I’ve returned, and I will make her pay with her life!”
Gu Yuzhen felt his heart tighten as he saw her clenching her fists.
He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms again, comforting her gently. “Since I’m not allowed to interfere, I’ll stand behind you and be your strongest support.”
Ming Qu wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face against his chest, and slowly closed her eyes.
