No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't come up with an answer. Su Zhi grudgingly and angrily hit the fire with a stick, not wanting to say anything.

Lu Huan said honestly, ”Don't worry, I'm here. But now you can see who's more reliable? Xiao Qian might have shown more mercy to the outside world. Do you want to consider throwing yourself into this prince's arms? ”

Su Zhizhan rolled her eyes, ”If you're talking about amorous feelings, as the second son of the great heir of Lu, who would dare to be first?”

”Concede, admit it. This prince doesn't dare to disappoint such a title.”

She broke into a bitter smile. This person couldn't tell that he was being teased, could he?

”But to be honest, you can consider coming down into this prince's embrace. I will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life, I'm sure I can continue to be pampered.”

”No, no. There are a lot of girls in your backyard that are famous. People like me aren't competitive at all.”

Hearing this, Lu Huan Zhi pondered for a while, ”Hmm … In terms of appearance, you really aren't the type that is particularly attractive. ”

Su Zhi pursed her lips and did not speak.

”Body isn't the best either.” He gestured in front of his chest and said honestly, ”You also have a bad personality, but you won't say that you're good and obedient.”

Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him, holding in her breath and still not wanting to speak.

”He's a bit old, too.”

This time, Su Zhi was thoroughly angry. When it came to this matter, she really asked him to do so. No matter what era she came from, she would care a lot about her age.

He had originally thought that since the other party would save his life, he should at least put aside his attitude.

Who knew that this man was truly born to be a walnut, and lacked the hammer; the day after, a cucumber, and lacked the smack.

A few bad words could cause a person to fly into a rage.

With a fake smile, she replied, ”Then you have to take care of your body. When you're seventy or eighty, you still have the energy to like little girls.”

Lu Huan Zhi narrowed his eyes and smiled, ”That's not true either. If I can find a woman who is truly happy and loves me, she will be the only one in my life. Wouldn't it be good if she was the only one to care for me?”

When he said those words, the man's face no longer showed any signs of being unrestrained. Instead, there was only seriousness and a rare warmth.

”If you keep looking like this, I'm afraid there won't be only one woman who is truly in love with you.”

Lu Huan's back was leaning against a stack of grass as he smiled, ”If you don't believe me, then why don't you try to be the person I placed at the top of my heart?”

Su Zhi waved her hands, dazzled by his bright smile. ”I can't, I can't.”

Lu Huan Zhi's legs trembled as he hummed a small tune. Her smile was still unruly, but a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

It was still raining outside and it was hard to move.

The sky and the earth were connected by a dense line of rain, and everything was immersed in the sudden rain, making it impossible to see the rugged mountain path.

”I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night here.”

Lu Huan Zhi replied indifferently.

Upon hearing his words, Su Zhi was on the verge of tears.

Don't go home all night. Those two kids at home can't make a ruckus. Besides, with a man like this who ran a train full of people, she felt that her nerves were always on edge.

”No, I have to think of a way to leave no matter what.”

Seeing that she looked like she wanted to cry, but had no tears, Lu Hengzhi felt like teasing her.

”Don't be afraid. Although this is a wilderness, there will always be wolves, tigers, and leopards at night. ”Oh, there's a high chance that there will be snake worms and ants inside the cave, but it's alright, I can protect you.”

”Thank you so much, I don't even know martial arts!”

Recalling the bad memories of her encounter with the wild wolves, Su Zhi suddenly shivered.

He had been under Xiao Qian's protection before, but now he had to rely on himself and had a son.

I wonder how Xiao Qian's situation is going.

She sat dejectedly by the fire, unable to stop her thoughts from drifting away.

”Who are you thinking about?”

Su Zhi shook her head. ”No one.”

”It must be General Xiao.”

She did not refute his words, admitting to his words.

Lu Huan Zhi was in a bad mood. He pursed his lips and snorted. Then, he turned his face away.

The two once again fell into silence.

After an unknown period of time. Outside, the rain had gradually stopped and it was dark. Wherever his gaze touched, there was only mist.

Would he really have to spend the night here?

Su Zhi stood up and took a look at the situation outside. Seeing that the cave entrance was wet and slippery, and the surroundings were dark and gloomy, she helplessly sat back down and dispiritedly stirred the bonfire on the ground.

”Your Highness, are we really going to stay here?”

If he went out recklessly, he would encounter many dangers, such as the assassin chasing after him or the wild beast at night.

Even if they were lucky enough to not meet each other, the two of them could not walk back to the city.

Lu Huan Zhi didn't reply. He leaned against the haystack as if he was asleep.

Su Zhi rolled her eyes, she was truly magnanimous to be able to sleep like that.

However, she soon discovered that something was wrong. The man's eyes were still closed, as if he was asleep. However, his face was pale and his forehead was dripping with sweat. Not only that, his thin lips were parted as if he was talking in his sleep.

”Your Highness?”

She leaned over and shook him. The back of her hand touched his forehead, causing him to retract his hand from the heat.
