Protective

Bai Xihe looked at Su Cheng in a daze. "What… did you just say?"

Su Cheng asked solemnly again, "Bai Xihe, are you coming with me?"

He had suffered many injuries and was in a sorry state. Even the corners of his mouth were bruised.

However, he was good-looking and had the aura of a bully.

He looked nonchalant, but his eyes were deep and persistent.

Bai Xihe's heart beat violently.

Her eyes turned red and a lump formed in her throat.

Could she really… leave this deep palace that had trapped her for twenty years?

She had known since she was young that she was just a pawn of the Guo family.

Behind the luxurious clothes and food was eternal loss of freedom.

As time passed, even she felt that she was not worthy of redemption.

She asked slowly, "What time… are we returning to the palace?"

Su Cheng said, "We're not coming back."

The fear that she had suppressed all night turned into grievances in her heart.
