Chapter 346: With Me Here

Coming out of the bar, Lu Xiwán let out a long sigh, and only when she sat in the car did she feel at ease.

"Why did you suddenly change your words just now?"

Fu Sijue seemed angry, his cold face not even giving Lu Xiwán a glance.

They all knew how dangerous it would be to clash with those people, so when they arrived here they had already decided that the pretext they would use was Fu Sijue.

But in front of that leader, Lu Xiwán suddenly changed her stance.

"A married couple is one body, and besides, we are together from dawn to dusk; whether those people look for me or you, it's the same."

Lu Xiwán appeared much more relaxed, not taking the matter to heart at all.

"You're lying."

If she truly thought that, she wouldn't have changed her words on the spot just now.

Lu Xiwán was choked by Fu Sijue's questioning and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"If something goes wrong this time, I believe you can protect Xi Xi and Yao Yao better than I can, and my master also has to ask you for help."

Lu Xiwán wore a smile, but Fu Sijue couldn't feel any happiness at all.

The answer he wanted wasn't this.

"Don't tell me to each fly away when disaster strikes; from the moment I decided to be with you, I never intended for you to bear any risk alone."

Fu Sijue was, of course, angry; her unilateral actions were enough to make him want to die of anger.

"A Jue, listen to my explanation..."

Before Lu Xiwán could finish speaking, Fu Sijue blocked her; almost out of spite he sealed her lips, biting her mouth, domineeringly refusing to let her back out.

After the kiss, Lu Xiwán nearly suffocated, her eyes dazed as she clutched her chest and gasped.

"You don't dare abandon me," Fu Sijue said word for word to Lu Xiwán, then immediately pulled out his phone to arrange for Shen Shu to raise the security at the Vacation Villa.

His words barely left his mouth when Lu Xiwán retorted, then forcefully hung up the phone.

"A Jue, snap out of it. We just went to confront their people to deal with me, and right after you boosted the security around the Zhuangyuan; those people aren't fools either."

Even a little thought shows that Fu Sijue had prepared this in advance; Lu Xiwán doesn't want their long‑term efforts to fail because of this.

"I can't just watch you fall into danger with my eyes open."

Fu Sijue's hand tightened slightly.

He was willing to give everything for Lu Xiwán, exhausting all his strength.

But Lucy could only shake her head helplessly, "A Jue, what we need to help now isn't others, it's ourselves."

For the people she cherishes, Lu Xiwán is also willing to give everything.

"As long as we can successfully dig up the details of paradise, eradicate them completely, we won't have to fear anything from now on."

Now their opponents are no longer completely clueless; Lu Xiwán is confident.

She grasped Fu Sijue's hand, "I have means to protect myself, and I believe you won't let anything happen to me."

When they returned it was already night; Lu Xiwán removed her makeup and Fu Sijue's in the car, and as soon as she stepped out of the door she saw Lilian with two children in the courtyard.

Xi Xi saw Lu Xiwán and rushed over, "Mommy, why were you out for so long! Xi Xi missed you so much."

Yao Yao nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiwán hugged each of them, "Mommy has something to take care of today; what are you doing at home?"

"Sister Lilian told us many stories!"

Lu Xiwán looked at Lilian, "When we're away, thank you for taking care of Xi Xi and Yao Yao."

Lilian blushed shyly, "It's what I should do; how could I let them go out with Xie Zian every day?"

If they kept playing like this, they'd end up with a temperament like Xie Zian's; Lu Xiwán caught the subtext in Lilian's words.

"Both of them are smart; they already covered these years' material at school, so just teaching them occasionally is enough."

There's no need to keep them cooped up at home every day.

After coaxing Xi Xi and Yao Yao to sleep, it was already late night, and Lu Xiwán wasn't idle either.

She took a Silver Needle, and Fu Sijue sat quietly beside her, watching her tinker.

"My Senior Brother was afraid I'd get into trouble before, so he specially designed a defensive weapon for me, coating it with his specially made medicine; its effect isn't worse than what you'd buy on the black market."

Since those people had already been commissioned, Lu Xiwán had to prepare in advance.

She hasn't lived enough yet; she must keep her own life safe.

After installing the device, Lu Xiwán tested it against the table.

A Silver Needle shot out and drove deep into the rosewood table.

Just looking at it hurts, let alone being struck on flesh.

Lu Xiwán nodded with satisfaction, "Back when I was under my master's tutelage I said that even if my Senior Brother stopped being a doctor someday, he could still make good money as a craftsman."

In terms of creation, Zhong Yun has some talent.

"It's a pity if he doesn't become a doctor."

Lu Xiwán raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Why do you say the same thing my master said? My master said my Senior Brother is a once‑in‑a‑century genius, destined to make his living this way in this lifetime."

Fu Sijue lowered his eyes, looking at Lu Xiwán seriously, "I think you're also impressive."

Lu Xiwán let out a little laugh.

Whether Fu Sijue said it deliberately as flattery or truth, she took it to heart.

"My Senior Brother and I are different; he has studied under the master since childhood, soaked in years of influence, and his many years of accumulation are certainly far better than my half‑hearted, late‑coming skills."

It was just that Zhong He raised Lu Xiwán as a daughter, never expecting her to inherit his mantle.

"When I became his disciple, the master said that regardless of whether I earn a living from this, he only taught me a handy skill so that Xi Xi and I wouldn't starve later."

Deep down, Lu Xiwán was grateful to Zhong He; back then, if it hadn't been for the Luo Family and his help, her life would have been lost long ago.

A shadow flickered outside the window; Lu Xiwán quickly sat upright, and Fu Sijue subtly pulled her back a bit, shielding her in front.

Lu Xiwan carefully reached over and turned off the light, she picked up the weapon that had just been assembled on the table, and gave a tug on Fu Sijue's sleeve from behind.

"They won't come in today."

Just based on those people's knowledge of the Vacation Villa, I'm afraid they still wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Fu Sijue has protected this place very well; even they would have reservations.

Although that's what was said, Lu Xiwan kept staring at the window and just couldn't bring herself to close her eyes.

Living in her own home, she could still feel as anxious as if she were in the wilderness; this feeling made Lu Xiwan feel quite heartbroken.

I suddenly wondered, if we don't investigate what happened back then, will those people just let it go?

After saying that, Lu Xiwan realized how childish she was.

Those people's target from the very beginning was them; how could they give up just because they showed restraint?

"Go to sleep, I'm here."

Fu Sijue embraced Lu Xiwan and spoke softly in her ear.
