Chapter 175 Why are you here?
Zuo Yuan frowned slightly, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, as if he was making a difficult decision.
Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I...I will do my best to protect you and prevent you from getting hurt."
Leng Yuexin sighed softly, smiled, and said softly: "I am really grateful to you, but I don't want to cause you any trouble. I appreciate your kindness, goodbye."
After saying that, she gently pushed Zuo Yuan's hand away and turned around again.
However, Zuo Yuan did not give up. He caught up with Leng Yuexin and hugged her tightly, burying his head in her neck. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Can you... give me a chance to be the guardian of your life, to take care of you and protect you?"
Leng Yuexin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She tried to suppress the joy in her heart, but pretended to be flustered and said, "Don't be like this, I...I will misunderstand."
Zuo Yuan did not let go, but hugged Leng Yuexin even tighter. He mustered up his courage and said more firmly: "This is not a misunderstanding. In fact, I... I like you."
Hearing this, Leng Yuexin could no longer suppress her excitement. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and she asked softly, "Are you serious?"
Zuo Yuan gently loosened his hand and gently turned Leng Yuexin around to face him. He carefully held her cheeks with both hands, his eyes full of determination and affection: "It's true. I have always been afraid that my feelings will be rejected by you, so I have never had the courage to confess to you."
After hearing this, Leng Yuexin hugged Zuo Yuan tightly with excitement, her voice full of joy: "That's great, because I like you too, Zuo Yuan."
A warm smile appeared on Zuo Yuan's lips, and he hugged Leng Yuexin tightly back. The two of them seemed to be in a bubble of happiness, enjoying this rare tranquility and sweetness.
However, just as the two were immersed in the sweetness of love, a sudden cell phone ring broke the tranquility.
Zuo Yuan immediately picked up the phone and answered it. As the conversation progressed, his originally gentle expression gradually became solemn.
Leng Yuexin immediately noticed Zuo Yuan's change. She felt uneasy and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Zuo Yuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He turned his head and smiled at Leng Yuexin: "Don't worry, it's just a small problem. I'll take care of it soon."
But Leng Yuexin still frowned. She firmly grasped Zuo Yuan's hand and said, "Zuo Yuan, I want to go with you."
Zuo Yuan shook his head gently and said softly, "I'll take you back first, and when I finish my business, I'll come find you, okay?"
Leng Yuexin knew that Zuo Yuan’s decision could not be changed, so she could only nod and agree, and said, “Okay, then you must be careful.”
Came downstairs to the residence.
After getting off the car, Zuo Yuan looked at Leng Yuexin reluctantly, gently kissed her on the face, and whispered, "Wait for me, I will be back soon."
Leng Yuexin responded with a smile, her eyes flashing with concern: "Okay, you must be careful."
As Zuo Yuan's car slowly drove into the night and finally disappeared from sight, Leng Yuexin turned and walked towards the parking lot.
However, her premonition became stronger and stronger, and she felt that Zuo Yuan's purpose of this trip was not simple.
So she quickly turned on the positioning on her mobile phone and drove her car in the direction where Zuo Yuan's vehicle was heading.
The night was dim, the road was empty, only her car was speeding in silence. Soon, she came to the foot of a desolate mountain.
She saw Zuo Yuan's car parked on the side of the road from a distance, and Zuo Yuan was standing aside and talking in a low voice with a few strangers.
Then, they began to walk deeper into the mountain road.
Leng Yuexin immediately put on night vision goggles and tiptoed to follow the team in front.
As she continued to go deeper into the forest, an inexplicable atmosphere of tension gradually spread.
She looked around vigilantly and suddenly found several figures swaying in the woods on both sides of the mountain road.
With the help of night vision goggles, she clearly saw them holding guns, hiding quietly behind the bushes, obviously secretly monitoring Zuo Yuan and his group.
Leng Yuexin made a decision in an instant. She quickly took out the hypnotic gun, skillfully installed the silencer, and then aimed at one of them. After pulling the trigger, the man fell down.
She didn't stop and knocked down several other sentries in succession. The whole process was clean and neat without causing any commotion.
Zuo Yuan did not notice anything unusual behind him. He continued moving forward until he came to a remote cave.
A burly man had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Zuo Yuan arrive safely, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Leng Yuexin quietly observed them in the dark. The two seemed to be discussing some kind of deal, with serious and earnest expressions.
Soon after, the deal seemed to have been agreed upon. The man nodded and signaled to Zuo Yuan that he could leave.
Zuo Yuan looked at him deeply, then turned and left. Leng Yuexin also quietly walked out of the darkness and continued to follow Zuo Yuan's footsteps.
In the darkness of night, Leng Yuexin drove the car and followed Zuo Yuan's car closely.
Having just dealt with those ambush threats, she felt a little proud and didn't pay much attention to the road conditions ahead.
At this moment, the vehicle in front suddenly turned around and drove back. Leng Yuexin hurriedly stepped on the brakes and the two cars almost collided.
Zuo Yuan got out of his car and walked towards Leng Yuexin's car with steady steps.
He leaned over, looked at Leng Yuexin through the car window with a teasing smile, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Leng Yuexin smiled awkwardly and explained: "I was worried about you, so I followed you to see."
After hearing this, Zuo Yuan's smile became even gentler, and he said softly: "Thank you. However, it is really dangerous to do this. Don't do this again next time, understand?"
Leng Yuexin nodded obediently, but a ripple appeared in her heart.
She suddenly realized that Zuo Yuan in front of her seemed different from the well-behaved brother she knew before. The calmness and confidence revealed in his eyes made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar.
Perhaps, Zuo Yuan originally had such a calm personality, and was willing to play the role of an obedient younger brother just to get close to him.
One morning a few days later, Leng Yuexin was enjoying breakfast when suddenly a message popped up on her mobile phone screen.
The message was from Zuo Yuan, who said he needed to go abroad temporarily to deal with some things and promised to come back as soon as possible after finishing them.
Leng Yuexin knew that this was a means for the system to force Zuo Yuan to leave in order to advance the plot. This also meant that Zuo Yuan's affection for her had reached its peak.
