Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 1885 - 1888: I Promise to Protect You for a Lifetime (1)

Gu Qianqian suddenly shoved him, slapping him hard without hesitation.

Unfortunately, there was no expected sound of the slap.

Chao Lu grabbed her hand and held her in his embrace, saying, "Qianqian, do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?" Gu Qianqian fiercely wiped the corner of her mouth.

"Chao Lu."

"Don’t give me nonsense!" Gu Qianqian glared at him.

"The owner of this bedroom."

Gu Qianqian: "..."

Gu Qianqian realized, suddenly shoving him: "Are you still playing rogue in front of me?!"

"You’ve never touched my room, why?" Chao Lu lifted her up entirely, walked to the bedside, and sat down with her in his arms, ignoring her struggles. Holding the photo frame on the bedside table, within it was him. Chao Lu said, "You still keep my photo. I had forgotten what I used to look like, and only you have photos."

Gu Qianqian instantly quieted down.

Chao Lu, with his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, lifted Gu Qianqian’s chin, "You keep everything of mine."

Gu Qianqian’s voice trembled slightly, "Who exactly are you?"

"Beside you, I’ve never had a name, but I’ve always wanted to tell you, I’m Chao Lu!" His sharp eyes surveyed Gu Qianqian’s face, unwilling to miss any expression. His slightly callused hand caressed her cheek as he leaned in again. When his lips touched Gu Qianqian’s, her body visibly stiffened, her eyes heated, and her throat tightened uncomfortably. She slightly turned her head, looking at the man in front of her, "L?"

Chao Lu’s heart surged with warmth, "I am."

Gu Qianqian held her breath, "You’re not... not... dead?"

Her voice was so soft, like a gentle breeze.

He held her hand, pressing it against his chest, "Listen to my heartbeat."

He wasn’t dead, quite unexpectedly!

Gu Qianqian closed her eyes, silently listening to this man’s heartbeat. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide, looking again at the unfamiliar man in front of her, that sense of strange familiarity revealed from deep within. Gu Qianqian couldn’t believe it, unsure why she thought he wasn’t lying. Gu Qianqian held back her tears, as if someone had pressed an acupuncture point, her lips trembling even more, "You really are... L?"

"I am!" He answered, unwaveringly, "My Miss Qianxi."

"Impossible, you clearly died." Gu Qianqian let her tears fall uncontrollably.

"I didn’t die." Chao Lu looked deeply at her flowing tears, tears shed for him. He cherished them immensely, covering them with his lips, tasting her tears—they were sweet. He slowly cupped her face, leaving the final kiss on her brow, "Qianqian, I came back for you."

"Impossible, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, L died." How could he possibly not have died? He clearly died many years ago.

He went with his father, died like his father. That was her bodyguard, the little bodyguard her father arranged for her since childhood, growing up with her. In his teens, he was already the most outstanding among all bodyguards. He was her most prized pet, yet the bodyguard who died most young. He was gone, a very long time ago. In one stroke, she lost both her father and close bodyguard. She was left to depend on her grandfather and mother at the Gu Family, she never showed weakness to anyone all these years.

Chao Lu softly murmured by her ear, "I promised to protect you for a lifetime, how could I die before fulfilling it?"
