Chapter 141 : I Won't Let You Go Again

"You're welcome." Chu Zhaoyang paused and said, "I'll just protect Gu Nian from now on."

Gu Nian didn't expect that Chu Zhaoyang would say such a sentence, and immediately blushed, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curved up again and again.

Nanny Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded heavily: "Ai!"

After Nanny Yu left, Gu Nian asked Chu Zhaoyang to wait obediently in the dining room outside while Gu Nian cooked dumplings for him.

Chu Zhaoyang glanced at the bar and didn't want to go out, so he simply sat down at the bar and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I ate a little." Gu Nian said, "I don't have much appetite, but Nanny Yu has already cooked it, so I feel embarrassed not to eat at all."

While cooking the dumplings, Gu Nian prepared two plates of sauce and placed them on the bar. He might as well eat them here soon.

Gu Nian took out the dumplings, brought them over and put them away.

"Try it quickly." Gu Nian said with a smile, holding her chin and waiting for Chu Zhaoyang's evaluation.

Chu Zhaoyang looked at her. It seemed that from beginning to end, she had never thought of asking him about his engagement. How could it be?

It's like she deliberately avoiding it and pretending as if nothing happened.

Chu Zhaoyang took the chopsticks and picked up the steaming dumplings. The snow-white dough was translucent, and the light green color of the fillings could be seen.

The white and fat appearance was very endearing.

Bite half of it open, the stuffing inside was full and juices flow out. The corn kernels were sweet, the mushrooms were rich, and they had a slightly crunchy texture when he take a bite, which was delicious.

Chu Zhaoyang nodded vigorously: "It's delicious."

Then he stuffed the other half in, picked up another one immediately, dipped it in the juice, and stuffed the whole one into his mouth.

Probably he was hungry. he didn't feel it before, but just now his appetite was aroused by the dumplings, so he couldn't hold it back and ate very quickly.

Gu Nian saw how delicious his food was, and she also had an appetite. She picked up one and ate it slowly.

She was not hungry, but her mouth was a bit restless.

Chu Zhaoyang ate vigorously, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his cheeks turned slightly red.

In a short time, he ate all the dumplings Gu Nian cooked.

The two of them ate quietly, and no one said anything.

While Gu Nian was eating, she couldn't help but look at Chu Zhaoyang, as if she would never have another chance today after watching it.

Chu Zhaoyang stood up and put the empty plates and chopsticks into the dishwasher.

Gu Nian didn't know what else to do, so after thinking about it, she left the kitchen.

As soon as she turned around, Chu Zhaoyang grabbed her wrist.

"Why don't you ask me about the engagement?" Chu Zhaoyang asked in a low voice.

Gu Nian lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

She turned her eyes slightly and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't get engaged to her?"

Chu Zhaoyang paused and said nothing. He took Gu Nian to the living room and sat down before saying, "There will still be an engagement party."

Gu Nian suddenly froze and subconsciously pulled out her wrist.

Chu Zhaoyang held on tightly, Gu Nian glanced at the hand on herwrist, quickly looked away, and looked away, refusing to look at him.

"There will be an engagement party, but there won't be an engagement." Chu Zhaoyang explained.

Gu Nian was startled: "What do you mean?"

"Believe me, I said I won't get engaged to her." Chu Zhaoyang pulled her closer, "I will go on the engagement day, but as an audience. Since they want to get engaged, let them go and hav a big limelight."

"What are your plans?" Gu Nian asked in surprise.

"No one dares to say that there was anything wrong in the process until the end." Chu Zhaoyang said, fearing that if something unexpected happened, Gu Nian would be disappointed again.

"I promise you, no matter what the situation, there will be no engagement." Chu Zhaoyang rarely said a lot, "If it succeeds, the Jiang family will never bother you again. If something goes wrong, then I won't bother appear at all. If Jiang Xiangxue appears, who can she get engaged to?"

Chu Zhaoyang saw that Gu Nian was silent and thought she was still worried.

He let go of her wrist, and Gu Nian felt a chill on her wrist. Without the warmth of his palm, she felt empty inside.

But suddenly, he held her tightly on both sides of her waist.

The scalding warmth from her palms was transmitted to her skin through her clothes.

The warmth made her feel particularly at ease.

Then, she was lifted onto his lap.

Chu Zhaoyang hugged her tightly, pressed the back of her head with his palms, and pressed her face closely against his chest.

Gu Nian heard Chu Zhaoyang's heartbeat "dong, dong, dong", which was fast and powerful.

"Nian Nian, believe me." Chu Zhaoyang lowered his head, pressed his lips against her delicate ears, and murmured in a low voice.

There was a hint of fear in the mellow voice, fearing that she would not believe him and leave him.

She had just brought him warmth and illuminated his heart.

Like a little sun hanging above his heart, he didn't want this little sun to leave.

After leaving, his heart felt empty, cold, and dark. He could no longer feel the temperature and color.

His breathing was trembling, and his arms tightened around her: "You said you would never let go of my hand again."

Yes, she won't let him go.

Before Chu Zhaoyang came back, she was lying on Chu Zhaoyang's bed.

She had thought about it when Chu Zhaoyang returned to the Chu family.

If...if Chu Zhaoyang was really engaged to Jiang Xiangxue, she would not let go of his hand.

It took a lot of courage for her to make such a determination.

At that time, she will become a third party that everyone despises, right?

Without a status, she will always have to hide in the darkness and be sneaky to be with him.

But she promised that she would never let go of his hand again, and she was reluctant to let go.

If he got engaged to Jiang Xiangxue, then Chu Zhaoyang will really be lonely in the future.

She couldn't let go of leaving Chu Zhaoyang alone, especially after seeing the video.

His thin and small figure at that time would always unconsciously overlap with the tall and straight figure now.

Even though he was already so tall and strong, he was still so lonely, always carrying a heavy burden, and no one could share it for him.

She wanted to share his burden, to accompany him, and to move forward with him.

No matter how difficult it was...

"I won't let go." Gu Nian hugged him tightly and rubbed her cheek against his chest twice.

Chu Zhaoyang's heart beat faster and he was indescribably moved.

Why was this girl so stupid?

Even if he hasn't made any commitment yet, even if he really might get engaged to someone else, she won't let him go.

How could she be so stupid?

Gu Nian, she was so stupid, how could she let him go with confidence?

So in this life, he will never let go of her hand.

Chu Zhaoyang wrapped his arms tightly around her, no matter how tight he hugged her, he was not satisfied.

That force was so strong that it could embed the thoughts directly into one's own flesh and blood.

"Chu Zhaoyang..." she called hesitantly.

Chu Zhaoyang looked down at her, his forehead pressed warmly against her temple.

When her eyes blinked, her eyelashes gently swept the corners of her eyes.

Getting so close, he could see the light in her eyes.

"Hm?" He responded softly.

Gu Nian also nuzzled into his arms and said, "Jiang Xiangxue came to me this afternoon...with the video of you being kidnapped when you were a child, and tell me that she also showed it to your parents. If you don't agree to your request, they will publish the video."

Chu Zhaoyang stiffened for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "I know."

Gu Nian looked up at him in astonishment and saw that his brows were unimpressed and his face was calm: "My parents told me and showed me."

"Then you——" Gu Nian was surprised.

"I don't care." Chu Zhaoyang said, "It's just a video that wants to control my life. I can clearly distinguish what's more serious than others."

For Gu Nian, he would give everything, let alone such a short video.

Suddenly, Chu Zhaoyang lowered his head and asked her: "You have always known, why are you saying it now?"

Gu Nian was silent for a long time before saying hoarsely: "She also threatened me. If I don't stay away from you, she will publish the video."

"So you plan to leave?" Chu Zhaoyang's voice suddenly dropped, as if it was filled with ice, and his black eyes were frozen.

Gu Nian felt a little pain from being strangled by him, but did not say anything, just shook her head: "I can't stop you from getting engaged, and I will always be with you. Chu Zhaoyang, I told you, I will never let you go again. So, even if I become a shameful person, I will still hide in the shadows and always hold on to you."

Chu Zhaoyang looked at her intently, his whole body was like a stone statue, and his heart was so shocked that it surged into a turbulent wave.

She actually...
