Chapter 1194

He begged:

"Xiaohui, save me!"

However, An Xiaohui, who had seen through him, did not respond.

The expression on her face as she lay in Gu Hanyuan's arms gradually became peaceful,

as if she had already fallen asleep.

Cui Ximin said urgently:

"Young Master Gu, spare..."

However, before he could finish his plea for mercy,

a wisp of sword qi entered his brow.

The luster in Cui Ximin's eyes vanished,

and he fell backward.

From the outside, there was only a red dot,

but inside, it had already been stirred into a paste by the sword qi.

An Xiaohui was not asleep,

but her spirit had not yet returned to her senses.

In a daze, the warmth beside her suddenly disappeared,

and she opened her confused eyes.

Besides Gu Hanyuan, who gave her a sense of peace,

she was back in the room where she had rested last night.

Gu Hanyuan put her down gently

and comforted her gently:

"Miss Xiaohui, you were frightened. I brought you back without asking, please don't mind."

An Xiaohui shook her head,

and seeing Gu Hanyuan's collar soaked,

she said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Young Master Gu. I got your clothes wet."

Gu Hanyuan smiled and said indifferently:

"It doesn't matter, it's just a piece of clothing. As long as you can cheer up, Miss Xiaohui."

An Xiaohui lowered her beautiful eyes

and said softly:

"Why is Young Master Gu so good to me?"

Gu Hanyuan chuckled upon hearing this:

"Didn't I say? I admire you very much, Miss Xiaohui."

An Xiaohui's eyes swirled, and her jade-like face flushed.

She asked in a low voice:

"Really?"

Gu Hanyuan said without hesitation:

"Absolutely true."

Gu Hanyuan's affirmative answer made An Xiaohui incredibly shy,

while her heart felt warm.

An Xiaohui recalled the scenes of her brief acquaintance with Gu Hanyuan,

whether it was Gu Hanyuan's astonishing martial arts,

his gentle and elegant conversation,

or the warm embrace he gave her when she was at her most desperate and cold,

as well as the fact that he had never hidden his favorable feelings for her from the beginning.

It all turned into warm currents flowing into An Xiaohui's heart.

As for the dead Cui Ximin, he had already been forgotten in a corner.

An Xiaohui, who had recognized reality, no longer had feelings for the Huashan Sword Sect.

At this moment, she only wanted to gain more peace of mind,

and the source of that peace of mind was the Gu Hanyuan before her.

Gu Hanyuan said gently:

"Rest well, Miss Xiaohui. Sleep, and you will feel better tomorrow."

Gu Hanyuan's words were only comfort,

but they gave An Xiaohui great courage.

Recalling the fleeting thought she had in her moment of despair,

as well as Gu Hanyuan's teasing response,

and watching Gu Hanyuan's figure as he prepared to leave,

An Xiaohui hugged Gu Hanyuan with a flushed face,

and murmured:

"Stay with me."

A joyful smile hung on Gu Hanyuan's face as he stood with his back to An Xiaohui.

He turned around and picked her up,

and said playfully:

"If you want me to stay with you, you have to pay a price."

An Xiaohui's beautiful face turned red to the roots of her ears,

and she responded with a soft "Mm."

The weather outside was perfect,

and the room was filled with warmth. ===== CHAPTER 1196 =====
