The Mad Guardian

Du Chuan has good intentions, Jiang Chuan knows this well.

Jiang Chuan just gave a faint smile, speaking self-deprecatingly, "What kind of dragon am I? I'm just muddling through life. But you, Du, are truly a hidden dragon. Why are you here, compromising yourself?"

"Me?"

Du Chuan gave a bitter smile, then said self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I want to stay here and be bullied? Damn it, even cats and dogs try to push me around! I have no choice."

There might be some underlying reasons for these words, but Du Chuan stopped speaking afterward, and Jiang Chuan didn't ask further.

The two parted soon after, but Du Chuan reminded Jiang Chuan one more time before leaving, "Brother, do you know who this bastard you took down is?"

"I don't know? If he dares to mess with my woman, he should be killed. I don't care who he is!"

Jiang Chuan said calmly, but his words were full of dominance.

Du Chuan gave a thumbs up, praising him.

Then, he kindly reminded again, "This guy has done quite a few bad things, but he's just a small fry. However, his godfather does have some power in Yanbei, so be careful."

"Oh? Who's his godfather?" Jiang Chuan asked curiously.

"Fifth Qin! They call him Master Wu!" Du Chuan said.

"It's him!"

Jiang Chuan laughed, thinking that this Fifth Qin sure has a lot of godsons.

"You know him?" Du Chuan asked curiously upon seeing Jiang Chuan laugh.

"Not only know, I've even met him." Jiang Chuan replied with a smile.

"Looks like you're quite familiar, but still, I must warn you, this Fifth Qin is no ordinary person, very scheming, treacherous, not someone to befriend!"

"Alright, that's all I have to say. See you around. Come have some barbecue at my stall someday, it's on me!"

Du Chuan waved at Jiang Chuan and left gracefully.

Jiang Chuan didn't know why, but he felt an immediate connection with Du Chuan.

Being with Du Chuan felt very comfortable.

Then, Jiang Chuan got up to leave as well.

"Take care of things here."

"Yes!" someone in the shadows responded, and Jiang Chuan left the room without looking back.

...

Hospital, ward.

The soft sheets emitted a faint smell of disinfectant.

Qiu Qianyu slowly opened her beautiful eyes and was met with a man's face filled with concern.

That face, though not very handsome, was resolute and rugged, full of chiseled features.

It was Jiang Chuan!

"Awake? Have something to eat? I made millet porridge for you. It's just the right temperature, have some. You've been asleep for a whole day."

Jiang Chuan stood up, picked up a bowl of millet porridge, scooped a spoonful, and gently blew on it.

Then, he softly brought it to Qiu Qianyu's lips, whispering tenderly, "Come, have a bite."

Qiu Qianyu blinked her beautiful eyes rapidly, and then her eyes became moist.

Other than her father, no other man in this world has cared for her with such tenderness.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Jiang Chuan, thank you, you saved me once again." Qiu Qianyu choked, her eyes filled with tears.

Jiang Chuan put down the bowl to get some tissues, helping her wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes, gently saying, "We are husband and wife. If I don't protect you, who will?"

If I don't protect you, who will?

Such a simple sentence carried profound emotion.

Once again, Qiu Qianyu was moved to tears by these words.

At the same time, Qiu Qianyu was filled with regret.

Once, she had treated him so coldly, regarding him as an enemy.

Thinking back now, she realized how wrong, how utterly wrong she had been, nearly missing out on the right person.

A man who so carefully protects her, if he doesn't qualify as her man, then what kind of man does?
