The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 169: Don’t Be Afraid, I’ll Protect You

Heh heh heh heh, if one person is going crazy, we should all go crazy together! No way it’s just him!

Gu Shili prepared dinner and called Qiao Qiqi to eat. Qiao Qiqi came to the dining room; tonight’s meal was even more sumptuous than yesterday’s, a blend of Chinese and Western dishes, simply pleasing to all senses.

Gu Cheng, watching through security cameras, was almost questioning life itself. What kind of monster is the boss? Is there anything in this world the boss can’t do?

"How’s your wound?" Gu Shili served her a bowl of rib soup and placed it in front of her. Qiao Qiqi was about to grab a spoon herself, but the young man had already handed one to her.

"It should be healed by now, I don’t feel anything." Qiao Qiqi shrugged her shoulders and lowered her head to drink the soup, which had a fresh aroma with a slight medicinal taste, suggesting it had some Chinese herbs in it.

"How’s your exam preparation? Do you need me to help you with tutoring?" Gu Shili started serving her some food.

"... No need, I’m a zero scorer anyway, I doubt it would help." Qiao Qiqi shook her head and took a bite of the meat slice, tender and delicious. How on earth did he make the meal so tasty?

What if she embarrassed herself by overeating?

"It really wouldn’t help, someone who can score zero can also score full marks." Gu Shili placed a piece of fish in her bowl.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

"Eat more, I’ve got some hawthorn water ready." Gu Shili continued serving her a lot of food, watching her eat.

"Am I bothering you too much by coming here to eat all the time?" Qiao Qiqi asked while gnawing on a piece of braised rib, tilting her head to look at the boy beside her.

"Not at all, eating alone is boring." Gu Shili smiled at her.

Qiao Qiqi looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and the bone she was holding with her chopsticks fell onto the plate. Her benefactor was too good-looking; she almost wanted to take him home to keep!

No, no, how can she have such evil thoughts? Especially towards her benefactor! That really shouldn’t be!

Despite trying hard to control herself, Qiao Qiqi still ended up eating too much.

Feeling a bit frustrated, she rubbed her belly, thinking it wasn’t her fault; it was Gu Shili’s cooking being too good!

Just as Gu Shili was bringing over the hawthorn water, his expression suddenly changed. He rushed over to grab Qiao Qiqi and dashed towards the door, shouting, "Gu Cheng, there’s a bomb!"

As soon as Gu Shili finished speaking, there was a loud "bang", and Qiao Qiqi felt a huge wave hitting her with great force. She felt as if she and Gu Shili were being blown into the air.

In the room, Gu Cheng cursed, got up, and quickly jumped out of the window to save himself.

Qiao Qiqi was shielded in Gu Shili’s arms, so she didn’t feel much of the impact, even when they fell, as Gu Shili held her protectively and carefully shielded her.

When they finally stopped, gunfire erupted, and Gu Shili carried her behind a wall.

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!" After saying that, Gu Shili suddenly held Qiao Qiqi and jumped out of the window.

Qiao Qiqi, "???"

She seemed to remember that Gu Shili’s home was on the seventeenth floor!! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The sound of the wind whistled past her ears as Qiao Qiqi could only cling tightly to Gu Shili’s neck. The sensation of freefall was not pleasant, and she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from making any noise that might distract him.

In a rapid descent, Gu Shili held Qiao Qiqi. Just as they reached about the sixth floor, he suddenly flung out a rope upwards. One end of the rope securely attached itself to the wall, and with one hand holding Qiao Qiqi and the other grasping the end of the rope, the two of them landed steadily on the ground.
