Chapter 66 Fighting
Hearing Que Hongjin's words, Qiao Suluo was somewhat moved.
She wanted to say something, but then she felt a little embarrassed because her parents were there.
She could only suppress her emotions for the time being, looking down at the two dead assassins. "I wonder who these two men in black were?"
Que Hongjin looked through it and indeed found nothing.
"They should have been spared."
Just now, all I wanted to do was kill them to protect Qiao Suluo.
He sighed softly and said, "I'll accompany you when we go out from now on."
In fact, when they were driven out of the capital, they also encountered assassination attempts on the way. Although the two assassins did not reveal any information about themselves, Que Hongjin guessed that the two assassins might be related to the power in the capital.
Even after Qiao Suluo was exposed as a fake heiress, there were still people who didn't want to let her go.
It seems we really can't let her go out alone.
At this moment, when Que Hongjin looked down at Qiao Suluo, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were filled with deep worry.
Qiao Feishuang looked at Que Hongjin gratefully and said, "Hongjin, we owe you a lot this time. Let's get on the oxcart and go home first."
It's getting dark now, and I don't know if there are any other assassins. I'd better go home as soon as possible.
Qiao Suluo also reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve. Que Hongjin understood her meaning, and a warm and gentle light flashed in his eyes. "Okay."
With that, he got into the car, and the family headed home.
We finally arrived at the village around midnight.
When they arrived home, it was very late. Qiao Suluo and Que Hongjin said goodbye to their parents and went home to rest.
Walking along the village alley, Qiao Suluo accidentally stepped on a pebble and almost fell.
"Be careful."
Que Hongjin reached out and gently embraced her.
So much so that Qiao Suluo suddenly collapsed into Que Hongjin's arms.
At this moment, she could smell the unique pine scent on Que Hongjin's body. It was a light and pleasant fragrance that could make anyone feel intoxicated.
Just as Qiao Suluo was about to get up, Que Hongjin reached out and hugged her tightly.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "How are you, my wife? Is anything bothering you?"
At this moment, Que Hongjin's voice became hoarse, with a seductive tone, while his fingers were placed on her waist, gently caressing it.
Traveling in an oxcart with the wind blowing outside, Qiao Suluo felt a chill all over her body, but Que Hongjin's palms were so hot, as if they were burning hot, that her waist went limp and her body went numb.
"Well……"
Qiao Suluo's legs almost gave way, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
Fortunately, Que Hongjin supported her body with her hands, which allowed her to stand up.
Qiao Suluo leaned against him, listening to the sound of his heartbeat as he spoke, feeling his well-defined chest vibrate slightly, vibrating her eardrums.
It made her unable to help but recall the visual impact of the night they formed their bond.
He looked thin, but his physique was perfect, especially his lean waist, which exuded a powerful and explosive strength.
Moreover, because they had formed a bond, he understood her exceptionally well, to the point that even the sight of his palm on her waist made her seem to realize something.
Qiao Suluo blushed and said, "I...I'm fine, I just accidentally stepped on a pebble."
It was late at night, and only the moonlight shone through. She was in a hurry to get home and didn't pay attention to her footing, so she stepped on a stone.
"Yes, it's the stone's fault."
As she spoke, Que Hongjin flicked her finger, and the stone on the ground that had tripped Qiao Suluo instantly turned to ashes.
Qiao Suluo was taken aback, as if she had just realized something, and grabbed his hand, saying, "By the way, you're not in good health, you can't use the remaining strength in your body."
"It's alright. My wife treated me before, and I feel much better."
Qiao Suluo said with some self-reproach, "I'm sorry for making you worry today."
"It must have been very tiring for you to follow me secretly, right?"
How could an orc's speed compare to that of an oxcart? He had to hide in the shadows, and it was impossible to know how much power he had used.
Que Hongjin gently stroked her hair and said, "It's not hard work. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
"I can't even imagine what I would do if something happened to you?"
He didn't dare to think about it; just thinking about it gave him an urge to go crazy.
Qiao Suluo said seriously, "I will pay more attention to protecting myself next time and prepare more self-defense medicine. You used your remaining strength today, so you must feel unwell. Were you irritable?"
Having taken Que Hongjin's pulse before, Qiao Suluo already knew about his physical condition.
He cannot use his power yet; if he does, his body will become violent and berserk.
If someone becomes violent and manic, they will also experience physical pain and discomfort.
Que Hongjin asked flirtatiously, "Is my wife worried about me?"
"Yes, of course I'm worried."
Que Hongjin leaned down and whispered in Qiao Suluo's ear, "My lady knows that all it takes to calm her down is for the female to soothe her."
"Being irritable can indeed cause some pain. My wife, will you help me tonight?"
Que Hongjin's voice was so deep and alluring at that moment.
He found her pleasant scent very sweet and delightful.
Especially after the contract was formed, he became somewhat intoxicated and couldn't help but crave more.
Qiao Suluo's eyelashes trembled, and she looked up at Que Hongjin, her eyes meeting his dark and deep gaze.
It seemed to emanate a captivating, devouring light, as if it wanted to swallow her whole. Qiao Suluo's heartstrings trembled violently. Thinking of how he had become somewhat agitated because of her today, she swallowed hard and said, "Okay."
"This is what my wife agreed to."
Without further ado, Que Hongjin picked up Qiao Suluo in his arms.
"Hong Jin?"
Qiao Suluo instinctively reached out and hugged Que Hongjin's neck.
"Walking is too slow, I'll carry my wife home."
Que Hongjin carried Qiao Suluo home at a very fast pace.
But when they returned home, oil lamps were lit in the houses.
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Qianlu put down her needlework and came out, saying, "My wife is back."
But when Bai Qianluo saw Que Hongjin holding Qiao Suluo, his cold brows twitched, and he quickly stepped forward, "Is my wife injured?"
When Qiao Suluo saw Bai Qianluo, she felt a little embarrassed to be hugged by Que Hongjin.
She struggled to get out of Que Hongjin's arms. "I'm fine, it's just so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can not sleep."
She didn't come back, and he was constantly uneasy, unable to sleep at all, so he made cloth dolls with needle and thread.
His eyesight is better now, so he can do these things again.
After Qiao Suluo left today, he was worried and wanted to protect her secretly, but he needed someone to look after the house and take care of some things. So he and Que Hongjin drew lots, and Que Hongjin won and went to find Qiao Suluo.
He does these chores at home.
But as time went by, and Qiao Suluo still hadn't returned by evening, Bai Qianluo began to feel uneasy.
He regretted it; he should have gone with her. Nothing was more important than her safety.
Thankfully, she returned safely.
"My wife must be hungry. I've made dinner and it's warming up in the pot. I'll take care of you and make sure you eat first."
Que Hongjin looked at Bai Qianluo and said, "You go to sleep first, I will take care of my wife."
A bitter feeling welled up in Bai Qianluo's heart. He looked at Que Hongjin, and their gazes were filled with a competitive edge.
Bai Qianluo looked at Qiao Suluo again, her eyes filled with a longing for companionship, yet also with a hint of loneliness and sorrow, "Does my wife no longer need me?"
"Is my wife upset that I didn't go to see her?"
