Chapter 56 - Protection
Xiu i blinked in bewildernt. Her mind blanked out automatically after receiving that information.
...the animals here can understand language?
’Am I sohow inside an illusion right now?’ Xiu i thought.
Or did she just discover a whole different reality?
Crazy thoughts wandered inside Xiu i’s head after listening to Lu Chen’s words. I an, who wouldn’t be?
Sohow, she weirdly felt that the animals here seem to know that she’s quite afraid of them.
Second, the pet lion little Qiang had just introduced her seed to had scrutinized her from top to toe before acknowledging her.
Third, and the maddest of them all, Lu Chen had just declared that the animals could understand all the things she had been saying.
With those three points, the only conclusion she could really think of was that she entered in so kind of fantasy world in her sleep or this is the other side of reality that she hadn’t discovered before.
In the line of her family’s work, she had listened to his great grandpa’s stories of war. From ti to ti, he would tell her about his journey in so witchcraft places to investigate and decide whether they are a threat to the country. Xiu i herself didn’t understand what was witchcraft at that age.
Her grandmother would also tell her stories about the spirits of people she t when she was still in her earlier years. As a kid, she had thought that these stories were so fascinating but as she grew up, she thought that the elders in her family must have been enjoying so much in tricking her.
She actually believed their stories until before high school! That’s ridiculous!!
And now, Lu Chen was saying that the animals he took care of can understand her.
Hmm.... If she compared it to her views in primary school, this one would have been more plausible.
"Don’t think too deeply about it." Lu Chen’s deep voice sounded.
She c.o.c.ked her head, questioning him.
"As I’ve said before, all of the animals here were trained for quite a long ti." His hand that circled on her waist comfortably went unnoticed to Xiu i. He even drew small circles on the spine of her back but she seed too curious and confused at the mont that she wasn’t aware how Lu Chen was clearly taking advantage of her putting her guard down.
With a curve on his lips and a glint of naughtiness on his eyes, he continued. "They are trained to be a companion and protection."
Xiu i, who was still in Lu Chen’s embrace, furrowed her brows.
"Companion and protection? For what?"
Is Lu Chen’s life in danger? Is he being threatened by so nasty people?
Her sight wandered around as she thought back to all the people she had t before for work. Her forehead creased.
Not many people really had the guts to dare to threated Lu Chen. As a businessman, Lu Chen is famously called as the emperor. He is ferocious yet wise, and he wants to have the greatest result in every business venture he takes.
He’s an intelligent businessman whose words seem like a decree that brings prosperity to the empire. And that was how Lu Corporation was built today.
But people who are envious of his success could still be counted in more than two hands. She had t a lot of people who tried to poach her from Lu Chen but utterly failed. Everyti Lu Chen gets a word like this, most companies would suddenly be closed down and go bankrupt.
That’s why almost every person in the business industry is wary and fearful of Lu Chen. Because no matter how great he is, they are still scared of the fact that maybe one day, he might target them and instantly crumble their powers into dust.
So really, who is the stupid one to dare try to threaten Lu Chen’s safety to the point that he had to raise a lion and a tiger for protection?
With her question, Lu Chen’s gaze shook in a split second before it returned to its playful gaze on Xiu i. "Just in case."
"Just in case what?"
Lu Chen stretched out his hand to smoothen her hair. "Just in case soone tries to hit on you."
"What?" Xiu i had a feeling that Lu Chen dodged her question. She blinked before pushing the question once again.
"Are you lying to ?" Because she was pretty sure that Lu Chen was just playing with her when he said that he did all this just in case soone tries to hit on her. It’s a ridiculous thought that Lu Chen had prepared all these years before they even t.
Who was he trying to fool? A ten-year-old?
"Why would a lie to you?" Lu Chen replied, neither confirming or denying her accusation. He wasn’t lying to her at all, but rather, he’s just vaguely replying to her.
This little wife of his might runaway if she knew the real reason why he had to do all these. He knew what kind of danger Lu Chen was pulling Xiu i into. And if she discovers the reason why later on, he was sure that Xiu i would certainly get mad at him.
After all, who would want to live and worry every day that soone might be pulling a trigger just behind their heads?
His eyes glinted as he rembered the nurous presents that were being delivered in the company. All of them were filled with horrendous things inside and more than that, Lu Chen wasn’t happy with the fact that they were all being delivered to Xiu i.
He had to intercept even the presents that were all going to be delivered at her ho. Lu Chen’s eyes dimd as the thought of soone clearly threatening Xiu i was being too direct.
And until now, his people have yet to discover who was behind all those presents. He grew concerned as he pondered the culprit behind all of this. Is it done by his enemies or....?
His grip on Xiu i’s waist unconsciously tightened.
Either way, he would be protecting her. He knew that he does not have any feelings of love for her yet, but even though it might be like that, he still has the instinct that he must protect her at all costs.
