Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

The man pulled his jacket around himself more tightly before strolling into the room without any hesitation.

Bam!

The door was forcefully slammed shut following Ji Xiuran’s entrance.

“Ji Xiuran, why did you come here? Are you stupid?!” A mist enveloped the girl’s eyes when she saw Ji Xiuran. He will die!

However, the man didn’t respond and swept his eyes over everyone else in the room. “May I ask what everyone intended by employing this type of method to invite me here?”

“It’s nothing major. I just missed you dearly after not seeing you for a long time, Emperor Ji. We mainly wanted to see you and chat,” Li Chun replied.

“Hmph!” Patriarch Zhou snorted. “Ji Xiuran, back then, you killed my son and framed the Tong family for it, making both of our families suffer immensely… You didn’t expect to see this day, right!!!”

Ji Xiuran’s lips turned up and he nonchalantly said, “You were merely too stupid.”

“Haha, what kind of situation are we in? Your mouth is still so tough… Fine, since you’re willing to come and meet your death for this woman, I’ll respect you as a real man. You killed my son back then, so I will make this woman die in front of you today!” Patriarch Zhou turned to the middle-aged man standing to the side and ordered, “Pierce her eyes first! That will be my greeting gift for Emperor Ji!”

The middle-aged man nodded and instantly directed his dagger toward Worriless Nie.

Worriless Nie could hear the frightening sound of the dagger breaking the wind.

Reflexively, she closed her eyes.

Pfff!

It was the sound of a blade piercing flesh.

The girl felt several droplets of fiery warmth landing on her face.

Worriless Nie’s eyes shot open. The scene that greeted her made her pupils contract.

The man shielded her behind him, his long hair flying in the air. However, his ink-colored hair was tainted with stains of blood.

The dagger had pierced through the man’s palm. /Drip, drip./ Droplets of blood followed Ji Xiuran’s fingers and fell onto the floor.

“Brother Xiuran!!!”

Worriless Nie couldn’t hold back her tears.

The man turned back, his lips curling up into a smile directed at the girl. It was still that familiar smile with immense warmth overflowing from his eyes, as though he was still that sunny boy-next-door from their youth.

“Hahaha, you truly are Emperor Ji! If we didn’t belong to different camps, I would really want to befriend you, Emperor Ji… After you die, I’ll bury you honorably! You’re a true man!” Li Chun praised Ji Xiuran.

This noble man actually used his own hand to block a fatal blow for the girl.

Ji Xiuran sent the middle-aged man flying back with his palm before walking toward Worriless Nie without looking back. He surveyed the girl’s wounds and softly asked, “It hurts a lot, right?”

“It doesn’t… It doesn’t hurt! Hurry and leave! Ji Xiuran, leave!” she screamed at the man with every bit of energy inside of her.

However, a second later, the man embraced her. “Sorry… It’s my fault…”

“No… It really isn’t…” Tears soaked the man’s overcoat and the girl vehemently shook her head in his arms.

“Worriless… Don’t be afraid. Regardless of where you are or what you go through… I’ll stay with you,” the man reassured her softly.

“I’m not afraid. As long as you’re here, I’m not afraid… Brother Xiuran, I’m not afraid, but if the outcome is death, I don’t want you to be here…” The girl had never been as relaxed as she was now in the man’s embrace. That resilient and strong President of the Fearless Alliance, Bai Feng, was now that small girl from when she was with Ji Xiuran years ago.

She would drool whenever she saw something yummy, she would make the boy carry her when she was tired, she would blush… and she would act like a child.

“Even if you die, I’ll be by your side,” the man said.
