416: Chapter 416: I Want You to Protect Soone 416: Chapter 416: I Want You to Protect Soone Lin Xinlan made up her mind in secret, realizing that at this point, she no longer had any options left.
She quietly left the room, returned to her own bedroom, and dialed Qiao Yiyang’s number.
On the other end, the call was quickly picked up, and Qiao Yiyang, restraining his eager heart, asked sowhat unexpectedly, “Xinlan?
I didn’t expect you’d call proactively.
What’s the matter?”
“Qiao Yiyang…” She took a deep breath and asked seriously, “If Rong Mingyan were to harm , could you stop him?”
Qiao Yiyang’s brow furrowed slightly, “He wants to harm you?
I’ve told him not to hurt you, he couldn’t possibly disregard my orders.”
“You an to say, if he wanted to harm , you would be fully capable of stopping him, right?”
Qiao Yiyang didn’t understand what she was getting at, but he still replied honestly, “Of course!
I’m his elder brother, my authority is greater than his, and he won’t go against my commands.”
Lin Xinlan felt relieved, then asked, “You said that as long as I respond to you, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for , correct?”
A flicker of astonishnt passed through the man’s eyes.
Could it be that she needed a favor from him?
After a mont’s thought, he replied calmly, “Xinlan, if you respond to , there are many things I can do for you, but not everything.”
Lin Xinlan gave a cold laugh, “If that’s the case, then let’s forget it.”
“Wait.” He called out to her urgently, “What is it that you need to do for you?
Speak, if it’s within my power, I will certainly grant your request.”
“No need, I think you certainly won’t be able to do it.” Lin Xinlan’s voice was very cold, and it carried a faint sense of despair.
Qiao Yiyang’s brows knitted together slightly.
Was she doubting his sincerity toward her?
“As long as you’re not asking to kill Mingyan or do sothing detrintal to him, I can agree to anything else you ask.”
“Even if it ans opposing him, you could agree to my request?” Lin Xinlan countered.
Qiao Yiyang detected a hint of implication.
She must have sothing she wanted to do, sothing that involved opposing Rong Mingyan.
“As long as it doesn’t involve harming him, even if it ans opposing him, I’ll agree to it.
Tell , what do you need to do for you?”
Lin Xinlan fell silent for a mont, then said, “Don’t worry, I won’t target Rong Mingyan, and I won’t harm anyone.
I just want you to protect soone.
If you can promise that, then I’ll decide to date you.”
Qiao Yiyang raised his eyebrows.
Was it really that simple?
He was quite curious about who she was asking him to protect, soone significant enough to make her decide to date him.
Qiao Yiyang asked jokingly, “You’re not asking to protect Rong Shaoze, are you?
I must make it clear, I’d protect anyone but him.”
“It’s not him.”
And besides, if Rong Shaoze appeared, he wouldn’t need his protection.
Qiao Yiyang was reassured, “Whom do you want to protect?
Rong Shaoze’s mother?
I can protect her.”
“It’s not the lady either; we’ll talk about it in a few days.
I’ll call you then, and I hope you’ll keep your word and not have second thoughts at the last minute.”
She was questioning his sincerity towards her again.
No, to put it more accurately, she didn’t trust him.
Qiao Yiyang declared firmly, “You can be completely assured, once I promise you, I won’t go back on my word.
Xinlan, you should try to trust .
You need to believe that I won’t hurt you, and that my feelings for you are sincere.”
Lin Xinlan was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice, “I’ll hang up now.
In a few days, I’ll call you, then seek you out.”
