章 270: Chapter 269: Have you fallen for her, treating her like a child?

Xiao Jinyan said in a cold voice, "Shut your mouth."

He clearly remembered how last autumn during the hunting trials, Shen Chuwei almost lost her life trying to save him.

He also remembered the night of New Year's Eve, when Shen Chuwei nearly died from testing poison for him.

He could not let such a thing happen again.

"Why so fierce? Your attitude could dampen my enthusiasm for speaking up in the future." Shen Chuwei's hand awkwardly hung in midair, and with her other hand, she grasped it and pulled it down.

Xiao Jinyan realized his tone had been too harsh and moderated it, "I only wish to keep you out of danger."

With the assassin's high kung fu skills, he feared he wouldn't be able to protect her.

Shen Chuwei meekly said, "Master Lu claims that I bring good fortune and can turn peril into safety."

Xiao Jinyan retorted, "Did that good fortune prevent you from getting shot by an arrow, or poisoned by eating crabs?"
