Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Cheng retorted unhappily, “She’s a girl. What’s wrong with us protecting

Gu Chen sighed deeply and looked at him. “The threats around her won’t let her off easily just because she’s a girl. It’s impossible for the twelve of us to protect her all the time. What if we’re not around? What if there’s danger? Should we have her tell the other party that she’s a girl and have them let her off the hook?

“With Yizhou being the kind of place it is, there are always people eyeing her.

If she doesn’t have the ability to protect herself, she will be devoured until not even her bones are left.”

Gu Cheng was silent for a moment. “But at our side…”

“Is it that safe around us? We don’t even know how many spies there are in the Manor. Even if we investigate, we might not be able to find out. And if there aren’t any, are we going to keep her secluded in captivity for the rest of her life? She’s the Boss, not some lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Seventh Brother, she’s not as weak as you think. She has the ability to take charge. You have to believe in her, and not be overprotective.”

Gu Cheng stopped talking.

He had indeed thought of everything too naively. How did they survive in Yizhou? How did they get to where they were today? He would never forget those blood-filled days.

However, he did not want Lu Ning to experience them herself.

For a moment, both of them were silent.

Neither of them were right or wrong, they both meant well for Lu Ning; however, in the end, they both had their own resolutions.

Lu Ning felt that Huo Jinyan was avoiding her on purpose.

When she took the initiative to look for him, Huo Jinyan ignored her.

Lu Ning looked at the bracelet on his wrist which she had given him and felt the urge to tear it off.

“Leave them here. If there’s nothing else, you can go back.”

Lu Ning:

Lu Ning suddenly dropped the items in her hand, and a muffled thud resounded throughout the entire office.

Lu Ning turned around and was about to leave when Teacher Shen stopped her.

“Lu Ning.”

Lu Ning stopped and walked over.

“Teacher Shen.’

Teacher Shen handed over a few test papers. “Do these and pass them to me tomorrow. ”

Lu Ning held the test papers and hesitated.

Huo Jinyan suddenly said, “Teacher Shen, forget about the test papers. Wait for her to finish mine first. Otherwise, she’ll have too much to do.’

Teacher Shen nodded. “That works too…

But before she could finish, Lu Ning suddenly snatched the test papers. “I’ll do them! I’ll definitely hand them in tomorrow.” Teacher Shen:

“Teacher, if there’s nothing else, I’m leaving first.”

Teacher Shen called out to her again. “Lu Ning, have you received the NI trophy? If you have, remember to bring it to school. The principal wants to take a photo of you with it.”

Lu Ning was stunned. “Isn’t the trophy sent to the school?”

“No, I believe it’s mailed to the house. Haven’t you received it yet?”

Lu Nings heart skipped a beat. “l haven’t.”

“Remember to bring it when you receive it.”

Lu Ning nodded and turned to leave.

Huo Jinyan watched Lu Ning leave in a hurry and sighed slightly.

She seems even more upset.

After Lu Ning returned, she sat in her seat. She looked quite calm, but she was actually very angry.

The first thing Lin Ci asked when he sat beside her was, “What’s wrong? Who pissed you off?”

Lu Ning was stunned and turned to look at her.

“Nothing like that.”

Lin Ci smiled and rolled his eyes at her. “Come on, 1 can tell.”

Lu Ning stopped talking.

Lin Ci thought of something and hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Lu Ning. “Ningning, what does your mother do for a living?”

Lu Ning was stumped.

Her mother had stopped working her previous job, but she did not ask about her work in detail after that..
