Chapter 169 - Jiuan, Come Down

The young man lowered his voice slightly. "Chulan, why do you hate her so much?

"You two shouldn't have any ties."

Huo Chulan looked into those strange eyes. Her heart trembled as she still could not help but feel a little afraid.

She lowered her head slightly and did not look into the young man's eyes.

"You said you would help me."

"Yes, you're my benefactor. I'll naturally help you." The young man's voice was helpless and gentle.

"I'm not blaming you, Chulan. I just want to ask you, why do you hate her so much?

"Did she do something that you loathe?"

Huo Chulan could hear the doubt and confusion in the young man's voice.

However, she did not want to say anything.

She could not say the reason.

"I just hate her. Why must there be a reason?

"Do you mean you won't help me if I don't tell you the reason?"

"Of course I'll help you, Chulan." The young man's voice was helpless.

"But I might not be able to come for a while after this. You have to protect yourself."

Huo Chulan pursed her lips. "It's enough if you help me this one time.

"I'll take note of what happens in the future."

"Okay, I promise." The young man's voice was still full of affection.

Huo Chulan finally felt relieved.

"It's very late, so I'll be leaving first. Remember what you promised me. You can't go back on your word," Huo Chulan said again.

The young man only chuckled softly. "It's getting late. Go back quickly, Chulan."

As he watched Huo Chulan leave, the man's lips slowly curved into a mocking smile.

His demeanor was extremely cold, and he no longer had an inch of the gentleness he had before.

He looked up; one of his eyes was actually empty.

His other eye was so red that it seemed to be forever stained with blood. It was terrifying.

He touched his eye and recalled how Huo Chulan had lowered her head in fear earlier. His eyes became even colder.

"Huo Chulan…

"Heh…"

He chuckled softly, as if mocking her for thinking she was something.

"Who do you think you are?"

…

Xing Jiuan had just alighted when she received a message from Lu Zhichen.

[Lu Zhichen: Jiuan, save me.]

[Lu Zhichen: A big dog wants to bite me!!]

Next was a photo he sent.

Xing Jiuan opened it and was a little stunned.

The dog that Lu Zhichen said was going to bite him was the retired police dog that she wanted to adopt, Warlord.

Actually, he was not even biting Lu Zhichen. However, he took a photo of his arm and placed it in front of Warlord, and the dog happened to be sticking out its tongue.

However, that innocent and lost expression…

She really did not know how Lu Zhichen could lie like that.

[21st: This dog…]

[Lu Zhichen: 21st, do you like it? I adopted it. It's called Warlord.]

Xing Jiuan was stunned again when she saw Lu Zhichen's message.

Lu Zhichen had adopted Warlord?

What was going on?

However, it being raised by Lu Zhichen was not bad either.

However, she also wanted Warlord.

Perhaps this was only something she could regret.

Xing Jiuan did not send Lu Zhichen another message as she went upstairs.

As she had already said in advance that she would eat outside, no one prepared anything for her.

Furthermore, it was quite late. They did not say much and went home separately.

Xing Jiuan was about to wash up when she suddenly heard her cell phone ring.

Puzzled, she walked over to take a look.

It was from Lu Zhichen.

She picked up the call and heard his pleasant voice say, "Jiuan, come down."
