"An'an!" Guan Jingyi slowly walked down the stairs with his hands in his belt. The bodyguards behind him tied him up.
Xu Ran didn't know why, but when she saw the official's view, she felt her heart ache.
With a "dong", a soft body was thrown into Guan Jingyi's arms. Xu Ran buried her in his chest as she called out, "Brother Yi."
Guan Jingyi frowned, his eyes looking towards Cui Yun's direction, wondering what she had just said to Xu Ran that caused her to be like this.
"You bullied her?" The official's question was directed at Cui Yun. Seeing this, Cui Yun's anger rose again.
Shangguan Jingyi thought for a moment. He turned around and said to the people behind him, "Send him to the military sector."
Shangguan Lifeng twisted his bound body, "Guan Jingyi, don't go too far!"
Guan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What's so excessive about me? You joining the army is something that you have to do. Your master has already spoken. What about it?" "But I have to remind you, there are a hundred ways to reduce those useless things on you. If you want to become a deserter, no one in the Shangguan family will be able to protect you, do you understand?"
"Guan Jingyi!" Shangguan Lifeng was pushed around by the men in black, but he managed to squeeze out a few words: "Don't be too proud, let's wait and see!"
Guan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and said to Shangguan Lifeng, "Humph, I'll be waiting!"
After that, Jing Yi, with his arm around Xu Ran's shoulders, went out the door as well.
Xu Ran wanted to go to the backseat, but her thoughts were seen through by Guan Yi. He pushed her into the passenger seat.
The two cars, one in front and one behind, were naturally the official Jingyi, who was leading Xu Ran's car, and the one who was escorting Shangguan Lifeng.
Ever since they had gotten into the car, Xu Ran hadn't spoken a word as she leaned against the window. It was unknown what she was thinking.
"What's wrong? What did Cui Yun tell you? " Guan Jingyi asked as he drove.
He had something to ask her.
"Nothing. I only said a few things about you when you were young. " Xu Ran answered truthfully.
Shangguan Jingyi snorted coldly, "What can she tell you about my childhood?" Hearing this, Xu Ran's heart ached even more.
"Is that why you did it?" Shangguan Jingyi was suddenly enlightened. A trace of softness flashed through his heart, as well as a trace of warmth.
Xu Ran wiped her eyes. Actually, she did not want to admit that she was crying for him, especially in front of him. Just now, she had indeed lost her composure.
"If I'm not sad, why are you crying? Is it made of water? " Guan Jingyi joked as he drove, taking time to look at her pretty face.
"None of your business!" Xu Ran slapped away the hand that was messing with her face. But in Xu Ran's heart, she was actually thinking about how she was scolded by someone else with such untruthful words. Since you didn't show it, how could she not feel sad for you?
However, Xu Ran would never say it out loud.
The road was a little bumpy. Seeing Xu Ran's pale face, Guan Jingyi asked, "Are you sick?"
Before she could react, Xu Ran saw a bottle of mineral water being passed to her.
Shangguan Jingyi's voice rang out next to his ear: "Hold on a bit longer. We're almost there."
The latter half of the journey was very bumpy. Xu Ran felt as if her heart and lungs were about to be weighed out. When they finally reached their destination, official Jing Yi said to Xu Ran: "Wait for me in the car. I'll arrange everything for that kid and he'll be back soon."
Xu Ran could not help but admire Jing Yi. On the surface, it didn't seem like Guan Lifeng was nice to him. He gave off a feeling of being incompatible with water and fire. However, he did not expect that Guan Jingyi was more considerate towards Shangguan Lifeng than anyone else when it came to the truth.
He had feelings for his family. He wasn't being ungrateful, but because of the injuries he had suffered, he needed to give himself a layer of armor.
Remembering Cui Yun's malicious intentions towards Jingyi, Xu Anyi felt even more sad.
