Chapter 13 A Promise Sealed in My Heart

Lu Linger returned home and first settled Gu Yichen in her brother Lu Jingheng's room in the front yard. She gave him a few new clothes that Lu Jingheng had never worn. She told Gu Yichen, "You are covered in wounds. You can't take a bath now. I will make a medicinal bath. You can take a bath and change clothes after the bath is finished."

Her concern wasn't out of greed, but rather a desire to promptly treat Gu Yichen's wound and prevent the spread of the poison. As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ling'er happily ran to the pharmacy. Gu Yichen watched her busy figure, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Gu Yichen placed the new clothes on the bed and surveyed the room. Just like the opulence outside, every piece of furniture inside was breathtaking. A sarcastic smile played on his face: How could Lu Linger's family possess such luxurious furniture? What kind of people were they?

Soon, Gu Yichen decided to help make the medicine for the bath. Although he was seriously injured, seeing Lu Linger so busy, he couldn't bear to let her work alone.

At this moment, Lu Ling'er was preparing soft straw for Dabai and Dahui, making a warm nest. She whispered to them, "Dabai, Dahui, you two should just stay here for a few days. I have to take care of Gu Yichen's injuries." Dabai and Dahui nuzzled her hands affectionately, showing their understanding.

While Lu Ling'er was busy, Gu Yichen suddenly said from behind her: "Miss Lu, do you know that they are wolves?"

Lu Ling'er was startled, her footing slipped, and she fell backwards. She thought she would fall to the ground, but Gu Yichen pulled her into a warm embrace, a strong cushion of flesh beneath her. At the same time, she heard a muffled groan. She realized with surprise that Gu Yichen had caught her, but his wound seemed to be bleeding from her weight.

Lu Linger quickly stood up from Gu Yichen's arms and hurriedly checked his wounds. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Let me see how badly you're hurt."

Gu Yichen shook his head slightly. Although the wound hurt a little, he felt warm in his heart when he saw Lu Linger's nervous expression. He said softly, "It's okay, my injury is not a problem."

Hearing this, Lu Linger smiled mischievously, "Oh, so they are wolves. I thought they were two big dogs! It seems I was so naive!"

After hearing this, Gu Yichen's face showed a puzzled look: "So, is 'Yichen' Miss Lu's husband?"

Lu Ling'er waved her hands and said with a smile, "You misunderstood, I was just joking. You are my 'cheap husband' now. When your injuries heal, you must pledge yourself to me and marry into our family. Then you will become a true 'cheap husband'. Also, don't call me 'Miss Lu' from now on. It's awkward. Just call me 'Ling'er."

Gu Yichen was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then he smiled genuinely, and his inner tension gradually eased. He found that although he was unfamiliar with the identity of this "cheap lady", her concern and humor made him feel particularly close. "Ling'er, I will call you 'Ling'er' from now on."

Lu Ling'er nodded and said with a mischievous smile, "That's right, 'Ling'er' is the right name. Okay, I'll go make a medicinal bath, you take a rest first."

In this warm environment, Gu Yichen felt a long-lost sense of belonging, as if he had inadvertently found a new home. Despite his outward calm, his heart was filled with complex emotions. Lu Linger's teasing words, "When your injuries heal, you must pledge yourself to me and marry into our family, becoming a true cheap husband," still echoed in his mind.

Gu Yichen's lips curled slightly, his eyes becoming resolute and profound. He vowed to himself that no matter how difficult the future, he would never easily give up this sense of belonging. This promise was deeply engraved in his heart, and no matter who he became in the future, he would never let it be threatened. He said to Lu Ling'er with determination, "Since you've provoked me, don't even think about running away. I will protect this unexpected warmth."
