Chapter 279: Xiao Qiao, Please Don't Leave Me (9)

When Qiao Lian was young, she used to practice taekwondo. As the delicate pretty eldest daughter of an affluent family, she had been terrified of pain.

After she got a few bruises on her body, she started to throw a tantrum and her dad felt sorry for her, so he did not let her continue with it.

When she had grumbled to Zi Chuan about this while playing, Zi Chuan replied, ”I will learn.”

The next sentence obviously was, ”I will protect you.”

Therefore, she never learned it again.

She had thought that when she was young, her dad would be there to protect her and when she grew up, Zi Chuan would be there to protect her.

At this very moment, she then suddenly understood.

Dad could not stay with her forever… and as for Zi Chuan, that was already history.

At that instant, as she saw the dagger moving towards her face, she wanted to move, wanted to hide, but the man was holding down her shoulders, immobilizing her.

She watched helplessly as she saw that dagger moving towards her. Her heart was hopeless.

In this world, one could only depend on oneself and not others.

She shut her eyes and clenched her fists tightly.

Since a young age, she had been most afraid of pain. She wondered what it would feel like to have a dagger piercing into her face.

However… the pain that she had expected to feel did not come. Instead, the grip on her shoulders loosened and next, she heard a loud ”bang!”

She opened her eyes and saw that the perpetrator had fallen on the ground and in front of her stood a man.

He was wearing a white sweater with black trousers.

She sat on her knees and looked up at him. That made him look extraordinarily tall.

The sun shone from behind his back, he was thoroughly soaked in the sunlight. He looked as if he had been sent by the heavens to protect her, and this made her feel peaceful and contented for a moment.
