Chapter 511: I Trust Her 2
His face was too well hidden under the mask. Gu Xijiu could only see his blue eyes. She could not even see their shape, yet she could somehow feel that she was attracted to his eyes.
The people from down below were done with the formal courtesies and were waiting for The Lord to command them to rise, but The Lord did not even pay attention to them.
He took a look at Gu Xijiu and said calmly, "Are you able to stand now?"
Gu Xijiu suddenly realized that she was still in his arms!
Gu Xijiu was not someone who was timid like a little bird to rest on a man. She was very independent and very alert.
She was used to keeping a distance from the people around her, especially with men. Unless necessary, she rarely got close to any man. At most, she would only tap on the shoulder of a friend. She would never be this close to any man.
If this happened before, even if she were being held in someoneโs arms, she would immediately restrain herself from his embrace once she regained her consciousness. However, she was not sure what happened this time, as she was unaware that she was in his embrace even after such an extended period.
Everything felt natural as if being embraced by someone who was closest to her. Was it because she was not thinking straight after being imprisoned and starved for days?
Perhaps she had acknowledged herself as the follower of The Lord. The Lord would be her master, so perhaps she would just comply. Now that The Lord had emerged from the sky to come and save her from the abyss of misery in her difficult times, she must have taken him unknowingly as her closest parent.
