章 235: Stubborn and Cold Blooded

Gong Jue's heart skipped a beat.

An overwhelming suffocating feeling surged in his heart.

That corpse… was Xiaobei's?

He initially wanted to educate her ruthlessly. How could the meaning of her life be tied to another person? She should live for herself!

But he couldn't say it out loud.

Gu Qiqi's gaze was too sorrowful.

That strong kinship even made him a little envious.

He had an older brother, parents, and a boy.

But he had never experienced being protected by someone who would sacrifice her life for him before.

On the contrary, when he was young, he was the one who was abandoned. He fought with death alone and with great difficulty…

A wave of darkness surged in his heart. He tasted blood in his throat and suppressed the rebuke.

Forget it.

She was bent on protecting him.

Then, he will protect her.

She was just a woman. It wasn't like he couldn't protect her!

What did it matter!
