The Duke of Zhenguo and Murong Kai returned to where A'man and Su Jingxuan were with their guards and carriage. When A'man saw Murong Kai riding his horse towards her, her heart was beating like a drum. She ran uncontrollably towards the flying horse in the distance. Before she got close, Murong Kai pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and stood in front of A'man, panting.
"You scared me to death." Ah Man looked at him and suddenly stretched out her hand and punched him. She didn't use much force, but it seemed to hit Murong Kai's heart. Her tears burned his heart like a branding iron.
"I'm fine, don't cry." Murong Kai raised his hand to wipe her tears, his eyes were gentle and affectionate.
Ah Man couldn't stop crying. God knew how tormented she was after her uncle left with the guards. She didn't even dare to think about what her life would be like without Murong Kai.
She doesn't have much now. What should she do if she loses Murong Kai
"Don't cry, I'm really fine."
"Don't do this again. I would rather face life and death with you than live alone."
Ah Man's love words came so unexpectedly that Murong Kai's heart softened because of her words.
He couldn't help but pinch Ah Man's face and nodded with a smile.
"You promised me, don't go back on your word. No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together. You must remember this." Ah Man said softly. Murong Kai just said yes in a gentle voice. His gentle indulgence was like the scorching sun in March.
"Ah Man, it's really not as serious as you think. This time it's not an assassination at all. It's a hero saving a beautiful girl directed by Zhen Junran. He didn't expect that after all his efforts, the person sitting in the carriage was me. You didn't even know that when I came out of the carriage, the expression on his face was really funny."
Murong Kai deliberately downplayed the incident, but the blood and the blades were what Ah Man had experienced personally, so even if it was a farce, it was a bloody farce.
"A'man, we didn't suffer much loss in this matter, but we did have a breakthrough. It was a blessing in disguise." Seeing that A'man's expression had finally calmed down a lot, Murong Kai said to her with a smile.
"I didn't encounter any disaster. All the dangers I encountered were blocked by you. Your guards are very powerful. They protected Jinxuan and me very well." Compared with Murong Kai's indifference, Ah Man was still frightened at this moment.
"I know I made you worried, but I won't do that again. You already know about this matter, what are you going to do?"
Murong Kai tried hard to change the subject. As he said just now, this was a good breakthrough point. They might be able to slowly get in touch with the dark forces through this assassination.
"Has Zhen Junran been arrested? I didn't expect that he is so despicable and vile. He has such a handsome face in vain." Ah Man couldn't help but complain in a low voice. He had thought that Zhen Junran was an upright gentleman, but he did such a despicable and sinister thing.
"Is his face good-looking?" Ah Man's complaints successfully attracted Murong Kai's attention. He looked at Ah Man and asked seriously.
Ah Man looked at him speechless for a moment. She really had no intention of appreciating or praising him. She was just saying it casually. However, there was a jealous person who was about to get angry again.
"That's just so-so. His face is too pale. Pretty boys are not my type." Seeing Murong Kai staring at her, Ah Man felt creepy and said with a strong desire to survive.
"So what if he is good-looking? He is too stupid." Murong Kai reminded solemnly.
"Yeah, so he's not my type. I like you."
"What am I like?"
"You are handsome, cool, and smart. The most important thing is that in times of crisis, you can disregard your own life and only care about me. In this respect, no one can compare to you. So, don't worry, I won't fall for anyone else." Ah Man's words were serious and firm. Seeing her gentle appearance, Murong Kai raised his hand and held her in his arms.
