Chapter 196 Always with you
Li Zeqi frowned, his eyes falling on the piece of paper in his hand that came from nowhere.
After a moment, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly crumpled the note into a ball and held it tightly in his palm. At the same time, his fists unconsciously clenched tightly.
Mu Lanfeng gently patted Li Zeqi's arm and said softly, "Don't worry too much. You should know that good fortune comes first, and disaster cannot be avoided. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
A rare gentle look appeared on Li Zeqi's usually stern face at this moment, and this rare look would only appear quietly when he was with Mu Lanfeng.
"Hmm!" Li Zeqi simply responded indifferently, his words couldn't be simpler.
But this light word seemed to have a tremendous force to Mu Lanfeng.
She could clearly feel Li Zeqi's deep emotions that needed no words, as if they had already had a perfect tacit understanding with each other. Just a simple response allowed her to clearly feel the warmth in Li Zeqi's heart.
This kind of tacit understanding made Mu Lanfeng feel warm in her heart. She knew very well that there was no need for extra words, as each other's feelings had been completely conveyed to each other in this interaction.
"I'll take you back to the Mu Mansion!" Li Zeqi didn't seem to be in the mood to keep going.
Mu Lanfeng nodded gently, then slowly lowered his head, deliberately avoiding Li Zeqi's gaze, took a step forward, and walked silently in front of him.
A moment of silence stretched between the two of them, with only the sound of footsteps echoing softly in the air.
After a while, Mu Lanfeng took a deep breath and then slowly spoke, "Zeqi, you don't have to worry about implicating me. You know, from the moment I decided to stand with you without hesitation, I have already thrown away all my worries and fears. No matter if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, or a bottomless abyss ahead, as long as I can walk hand in hand with you, I am fearless. So, just feel free to do everything you want to do. I will always be by your side and be your strongest backing. Even if the sky falls, I will carry it with you!"
After listening to this, Li Zeqi paused, then quickly followed.
The more Mu Lanfeng said this, the more he felt guilty.
He approached her at first because her profound medical skills could help him. He knew that his motives were not pure, and he also knew that she did not want to be involved in the disputes in the court.
But in the end, she was still deeply trapped in it!
What he didn't expect was that as they spent more time together, he really fell in love with her, to the point where he couldn't extricate himself.
Seeing that Li Zeqi had been silent for a long time, Mu Lanfeng stopped and looked back. She immediately understood and said, "In fact, I knew your purpose from the beginning!"
"You know?" Li Zeqi paused, surprised and confused, "What?"
He was obviously a little surprised. Could it be that Mu Lanfeng could read minds? How could she see through everything he was thinking?
"Nothing?" Mu Lanfeng shook his head and said with a smile, "Why should we think about the past? Shouldn't we look forward?"
Li Zeqi was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
His gaze fell quietly on the woman in front of him, sometimes revealing the pure innocence of a young girl, and there seemed to be a clear spring hidden in those clear eyes, and at first glance she was full of ignorance and innocence.
But sometimes he reveals a kind of maturity and stability that can see through everything in the world. His calm and composed expression seems as if he has experienced countless ups and downs.
Such a complex and unique temperament is blended in her, which is really not what a girl of her age should have. This makes Li Zeqi secretly amazed in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Mu Lanfeng asked softly.
Li Zeqi came back to his senses and shook his head gently, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He whispered: "Lan Feng, I just feel that I shouldn't have used you like that back then. But now you can still be so open-minded, I..."
He paused, as if he didn't know how to express his guilt.
Mu Lanfeng walked forward, gently held his hand, and said softly: "Zeqi, let the past be the past. You know, in the process of getting along with you, I also saw your helplessness and your ambitions. Although I know your original purpose, so what? Since I chose to be with you, I am attracted to you as a person, not anything else."
Li Zeqi held her hand in his, feeling the warmth from her hand. His heart surged with warmth, but he still frowned slightly: "But I'm still afraid that it will bring you more danger. I don't want you to get hurt in the slightest."
Mu Lanfeng smiled slightly, her smile as bright as the warm spring sun: "Now that I am in this situation, I will not back down. Besides, with you by my side, I believe we can face all the difficulties together. Don't underestimate me. My medical skills are not only used to cure diseases and save lives, but also to protect myself at critical moments."
Li Zeqi felt a little relieved after hearing her words. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a rare smile: "I underestimated you. My Lan Feng is different from others. But in the future, I will be more careful and cautious to protect you."
"After the New Year, when the situation is completely stable, let's pick an auspicious day to hold the wedding!" Mu Lanfeng leaned closer and lowered his voice.
When Li Zeqi heard this, he was stunned at first, and his whole body seemed to be frozen in an instant. His eyes were full of astonishment and his expression was full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
However, in a flash, his face suddenly broke into an extremely bright smile, like a blooming spring flower, and that smile was filled with endless joy and excitement.
He quickly stepped forward, staring at Mu Lanfeng closely, and said with a bit of excitement in his tone, "You said all this yourself. Once you say something, it's like spilled water on the ground. Don't go back on your word. You have to keep your word!"
Seeing him like this, Mu Lanfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes full of doting. She nodded gently and said angrily, "Look at how anxious you are. Since I said it, it counts. Why would you regret it?"
Li Zeqi laughed and hugged Mu Lanfeng tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. He kept muttering, "I have been looking forward to this day for a long, long time, Lanfeng, you don't know how happy I am. I'm really afraid that this is just a dream and it will be gone as soon as I open my eyes."
Mu Lanfeng snuggled in his arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, and whispered, "Don't worry, this is not a dream. We still have a long life ahead of us. We will experience many things together, watch the spring flowers and autumn moons together every year, and grow old together."
Li Zeqi loosened his arms, but still held Mu Lanfeng's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
His eyes were burning, and he said seriously: "Lan Feng, I will make you the happiest woman in the world. I will use everything I have to love and protect you, and no storm will be able to get close to you."
Mu Lanfeng raised her head slightly and looked at Li Zeqi, smiling and replied: "I believe you, Zeqi, I will always be by your side and face everything with you!"
Li Zeqi's actions attracted strange looks from passers-by. Mu Lanfeng quickly broke free from his arms, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Seeing Mu Lanfeng's coy and lovely appearance, Li Zeqi smiled mischievously. He couldn't help but move closer to her, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Lanfeng, do you know? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt right now. It's so funny!"
Mu Lanfeng originally had a sweet smile on her face, but when she heard this, the smile froze instantly, and then disappeared little by little.
Humph, how can you talk like that? How can you compare a girl's face to a butt? That's really too much!
I didn't expect that Li Zeqi, who usually looks expressionless and cold-blooded, would be the most deadly when he does bad things.
She glanced at Li Zeqi and quickened her pace angrily...
