Chapter 226 - Send the Third Wheel Away

“You’re too soft-hearted.

“Compared to Huo Chulan, this is your greatest flaw.”

Xing Jiuan remained silent.

“However, I’m your savior.

“Are you sure you want to treat me like this?”

Lu Zhichen frowned.

This man’s provocative tone made him very uncomfortable.

“Is he still useful to you?” Xing Jiuan asked.

Lu Zhichen lowered his eyes to look at her. “I brought him here for you in the first place. You can do whatever you want.”

“Then I’ll get someone to take him away.”

“…Okay.”

“Thank you for this.”

“You don’t have to thank me.”

The two of them chatted as if no one was around.

The man did not seem to care at all.

“Actually, I found out something else.” Xing Jiuan suddenly turned to look at the man.

“You have a son who is 20 years old. He was born weak…” Looking at the man’s shocked expression, she continued, “The strange thing is that after I exchanged identities with Huo Chulan, his body slowly recovered.

“Isn’t it strange?”

She raised her eyebrow, and her facial features were exquisite and charming. However, in the man’s eyes, she was as terrifying as a devil.

“What are you trying to do?”

Xing Jiuan did not say anything else. After speaking to Lu Zhichen, the two of them walked out.

Lu Zhichen still did not know about this, but he did not ask.

“Aren’t you curious?” Xing Jiuan suddenly asked.

“I’m curious.”

“Why didn’t you ask me?”

“If you want to tell me, you’ll tell me.” Lu Zhichen looked at her seriously. “If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask.”

When he investigated back then, he did not discover this matter. Although he was a little surprised by Xing Jiuan’s sudden words, he did not intend to ask her about it.

At most, he would continue to investigate in private.

He would find out eventually.

“His son is an ordinary person. However, he must be quite proficient in divination,” Xing Jiuan said.

“Okay.” Lu Zhichen nodded slightly. “I’ll protect you.”

“…” Shut up.

Xing Jiuan continued walking while Lu Zhichen followed behind. He couldn’t help but smile.

Since Xing Jiuan was able to let him stay there and even tell him about the latter secret, did this mean that she was slowly accepting him?

With this thought, Lu Zhichen felt even happier.

“Where did Warlord go?” Xing Jiuan asked.

“I’ll take you there.” Lu Zhichen’s voice sounded like he was smiling. He walked quickly to Xing Jiuan’s side and went to find Warlord with her.

Warlord had many toys here, but it just lay there, not interested at all.

The person beside it wanted to play with it, but Warlord ignored him.

Seeing the two of them coming over, the person finally heaved a sigh of relief and left.

Warlord jogged over and wagged its tail at Xing Jiuan. It opened its mouth and seemed to be smiling.

“Warlord.” Xing Jiuan squatted down and rubbed its head.

Warlord nuzzled her hand.

Lu Zhichen was like a third wheel. He was really sticking out.

“Jiuan, it’s getting late. Let’s go eat,” Lu Zhichen said.

He planned to send Warlord back first before taking Xing Jiuan out for a meal.

Xing Jiuan had already sent someone a message earlier.

“Wait another ten minutes. My men will be here soon.”

Actually, she could have left directly, but the person said he wanted to give her a document.

Xing Jiuan thought about it and decided to wait a little longer.

Under normal circumstances, Xing Jiuan was more used to reading paper documents.
