Chapter 21

I Am Very Protective

The sky turned gloomy.

A sorrowful sound came from the Dai Bamboo House after the lights went off.

A chuckle suddenly sounded in the dark.

“Who are you?” The two of them crawled on the bed with fear.

As the woman was about to reach out and turn on the light, she touched something cold and screamed.

She flinched and did not dare to move.

With a click, a faint red light lit up the darkness.

However, it went out almost immediately.

Those on the bed could vaguely see the other person’s face.

“Are you seeking death? How dare you come over here to eavesdrop?”

In the darkness of the surroundings, there seemed to be the movement of flowing water.

A pungent smell gradually filled the air.

‘Was it gasoline?’

The man intuitively got out of bed but jumped back in shock as his feet touched the wet ground.

Click. The red light lit up once again.

It did not go out this time. Instead, the thick white candle on the ground was lit up one by one.

There were about ten odds of them!

“Who are you?” The boss stared at the woman sitting close to him.

He was stunned by her delicate porcelain-white face.

“I waited for your subordinates to fix the courtyard for me till evening.” Lin Hanxing’s red skirt looked like a fire. A gentle smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.

This sentence was sufficient to indicate her identity.

‘She’s the owner of the tea hill?’

‘That young lady?’

The boss;s eyes widened. He had never expected the owner of that tea hill to be so young.

Lin Hanxing’s eyes fell upon that woman before he could react.

“After all, pretending is also an art. I poured a glass of water for you to moisten your throat.”

The woman’s face turned green.

She wanted to switch on the lights earlier, yet she touched something that was not supposed to  be there. Only then did she realize that it was a glass of water!

She did not even feel a thing even though someone silently approached her and placed a cup of water near her…

What if this person wanted her life next time…

The boss used to being arrogant on normal days. This embarrassing moment made the anger in him surge.

“Don’t overstep your boundaries!”

As his voice dropped, he realized that Lin Hanxing—standing opposite him—had stopped smiling.

Her cold eyes fell upon her face ghastly in concentration.

“I’m very protective, regardless of my people or my things!”

Lin Hanxing’s voice was like a cold current that swept through the boss’s body.

Only then did he finally understand that this little girl, who he did not care to bother at first, was not to be trifled with.

“I’ve been waiting until evening for your people to fix the courtyard for me.” The faint candlelight flickered; Lin Hanxing’s face was divided into bright and dark sides.

Both sides looked extremely gloomy.

The boss and Lin Hanxing looked at each other. He finally understood why the skinny guy mentioned her…

The fear in his face when he told him!

“What a pity! You’ve lost the last chance I gave you.”

The red skirt on Lin Hanxing was as red as blood, and when she talked, she sounded vaguely coercive.

“I said this before. None of you can escape.”

At that moment, the missing Lei Xiao pushed the door open and entered.

He was holding a box in his hand.

The wind blew in from the outside the moment the door was opened.

Lin Hanxing’s long hair swayed with the wind—even the candlelight on the ground was flickering.

She raised her head and took the box from Lei Xiao.

Thereafter, she looked at the woman shrinking in the corner of the bed out of fear, and waved to her…
