Chapter 128: A Favor
Gu Chaoyan asked straightforwardly.
She believed that they needed something from her, so Zhou Huaijin’s guard came running towards her.
Gu Chaoyan said this as she took up the teacup, sipping leisurely from it.
Lin Sen looked at Gu Chaoyan, wondering if this slightly-chubby and ordinary-looking Miss. Gu would be so dominating in front of the Lord. Now that Rong Chuxuan was seriously punished, he came to her, asking if she could help them to deal with this matter. It should work out fine.
He was a bit anxious. He was a bit anxious because he was not sure if she would be helpful, rather than whether she would agree to help.
As far as Lin Sen a.s.sumed, she was definitely going to agree with this favor.
She would because she needed to leave an impression of being kind-hearted in front of the Lord.
He hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Miss. Gu, I am here because I have a favor to ask you.”
“Well?” Gu Chaoyan looked at him composedly.
“Rong Chuxuan is the guard that the Lord arranged to keep you safe. However, because of what happened to you, the Lord is punis.h.i.+ng him. You ran into the accident because of his absence, but that was because something urgent came up and he came to offer me help instead. No one expected that something would happen during this short absence of his.”
“...”
“He has accepted the punishment of being hit fifty times, and you are not that seriously injured either, so please, Miss. Gu, could you please tell Lord not to fire him?”
Hearing what Lin Sen said, Gu Chaoyan looked slightly colder.
She now understood what happened.
What he meant was that keeping her safe was not something important, so they could leave the position whenever they wanted to. Also, he was asking her not to care about the mistake, because she was not seriously injured?
“What do you expect me to do?” Gu Chaoyan asked coldly.
Lin Sen was so worried about Rong Chuxuan, and he did not think that someone like Gu Chaoyan would be hard to deal with, so he did not pay attention to how he spoke with Gu Chaoyan.
Seeing that she was asking the question, he a.s.sumed that she had agreed with what he said. So he put forward the proposal.
Lin Sen said with a relaxed tone, “That is very simple, as long as you can tell the Lord that you hope Rong Chuxuan could continue to keep protecting you from this day on. I don’t think that the Lord would give it a deep thought, as long as you don’t care about this matter that deeply.”
He looked at Gu Chaoyan after he finished the words. He almost asked Gu Chaoyan to do that right now.
“Oh...”Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
“Yea, it is quite simple, isn’t it?” Lin Sen said happily.
“But...”Gu Chaoyan put down the teacup. “But I don’t want him to keep protecting me in the future, so I am afraid I can’t help with this matter at all.”
The words had just been spoken, but Lin Sen found the whole thing incredible. He exclaimed with surprise.
A long while later. He asked in confusion, “Why? Rong Chuxuan is the youngest man with the best skills among all the hidden guards, the man Lord likes above all. You don’t want him to keep protecting you any more?” As he said the words, Lin Sen turned cold. “He is the Lord’s hidden guard, the best one of us. When Princess Xunyang asked for him, the Lord did not agree to it. However, now he is willing to stay by your side, and that is an honor no one except the Lord is able to get!”
