Hmm?
Lin Beichen was slightly stunned and looked at Zhao Weinan in surprise.
Zhao Weinan’s gaze flickered, and she turned her charming face aside, seemingly not wanting Lin Beichen to see her flushed cheeks.
"Whether I like it or not, I am yours now."
"Actually, being given to you is a relief for me. If it weren’t you, I would be used as a tool for arranged marriage next month and sent to another family’s young man."
"That guy is a perverted maniac. It is said that he has killed dozens of girls. Although I would be sent for a marriage alliance, my family wouldn’t care about my life or death.
Maybe after he is done playing with me for a few months, I would end up like those missing girls, discarded in some mass grave."
Zhao Weinan seemed to have completely opened up, pouring out all the secrets hidden in her heart to Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen listened to her silently, feeling her inner pain, and couldn’t help sighing inwardly.
Although Zhao Weinan was born in Zhongcheng Hall, she was not much better than ordinary people.
Ordinary people may struggle for livelihood, but at least they have freedom.
But Zhao Weinan was like a porcelain doll, nurtured from a young age.
"Listening to my words, do you feel particularly sympathetic and want to hold me up?"
Seeing Lin Beichen not speaking, Zhao Weinan suddenly laughed.
She approached Lin Beichen, daringly staring into his eyes.
The distance between them was very close, and Zhao Weinan could even feel Lin Beichen’s breath.
For some reason, Zhao Weinan felt particularly bold around Lin Beichen.
Maybe it’s because Lin Beichen was always so approachable that even when she saw him kill someone casually, she did not find him detestable.
Lin Beichen was different from those rich young masters she had met.
No matter how well those people pretended, they still made Zhao Weinan feel disgusted.
Because they were full of indifference to life.
Even when Lin Beichen acted casually, Zhao Weinan only saw sincerity in his eyes.
"I haven’t explored Zhongcheng Hall. Would you like to show me around?"
Lin Beichen said.
A solitary man and woman sharing a place.
Lin Beichen never thought of himself as some gentleman immune to temptation.
It wasn’t that he didn’t like Zhao Weinan, but he didn’t like Zhongcheng Hall as a place.
Even if he wanted Zhao Weinan’s body, it wouldn’t be here.
Zhao Weinan silently nodded and, as they walked out of the Starry Sky Association, she summoned up the courage to hold Lin Beichen’s hand.
In the garden next to the Starry Sky Association.
Zhao Wuxing slowly lowered his telescope.
"Second Grandpa, you have many connections, can you find out Lin Beichen’s background?"
Zhao Huanglong stood beside him, silently watching Lin Beichen’s departing figure, and said faintly:
"He says he’s just an ordinary person. Based on how he interacts with Zhao Weinan, he doesn’t seem to be lying. His aura indeed feels like an ordinary person."
When Zhao Huanglong said this, his brow furrowed slightly.
"However, an ordinary person, no matter how gifted, couldn’t have extraordinary martial artists as bodyguards.
Zhongcheng Hall’s influence is indeed considerable, but there are families stronger than us. What we know is ultimately limited..."
At this point, Zhao Huanglong pounded the table heavily.
This was the most troubling aspect for him.
He wasn’t afraid of Lin Beichen having a big background; he was most afraid of Lin Beichen’s uncertain origins.
A person with an unclear background is the most terrifying.
The unknown means destruction could descend at any moment.
By sending Zhao Weinan to mend the relationship with Lin Beichen, Zhongcheng Hall’s risk was reduced.
In this respect, Zhao Weinan’s value far exceeded that of a marriage alliance tool.
"You don’t need to worry too much."
Zhao Huanglong seemed to notice Zhao Wuxing’s concern and offered a reassuring word.
"Recently, higher-ups have acquired many elixirs, some of which can even break through the Life Gene Lock. I have already leveraged my connections. If I can get one, it can help you break through.
Once you achieve extraordinary status, our family is bound to rise to a higher level; we won’t need to fear him anymore."
Upon hearing this, a gleam of joy flashed in Zhao Wuxing’s eyes.
"Second Grandpa, is that true?"
