Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

Trouble has come, and you can't keep hiding. Chu Yuan is a petty person. If it doesn't work this time, there might be a next time.

He didn't touch Shen Jingyou, probably because he was afraid of the Duke of Zhenguo. He targeted her because he thought she was a woman and no one would find out as long as he did it cleanly.

As soon as Wen Ling entered the restaurant, he noticed several people following him.

According to Xiao Qi, there were more than a dozen assassins sent by Chu Yuan. He was probably worried that she had Gu Muqing by her side and his strength was unknown.

It just so happens that in order to avoid trouble in the future, Chu Yuan should be eliminated.

He explained the situation to Gu Muqing and asked him to contact a few skilled men, and then the two of them ate and drank as if nothing had happened.

But Gu Muqing was still worried.

"Princess, why don't you go ahead and let me and my men stop them."

Wen Ling raised her eyebrows. How could she fish like this?

"No need, this princess is very skilled and won't hold you back."

Gu Muqing glanced at Wen Ling. She was obviously delicate, so how could she handle such thin arms and legs? She didn't take Wen Ling's words to heart, only thinking that she would protect the princess more later.

In order to cooperate with the assassins, the two even stayed in the restaurant until late at night. By then, there were few people on the street, making it easier to act.

As soon as they reached the corner, the killers couldn't help but come out from the shadows.

Each of them had their face covered, and the knives in their hands gleamed sharp in the moonlight.

Wen Ling rubbed her hands together, she had never tried this martial arts cheat before.

The killers lined up one by one, and the people on Wen Ling's side immediately emerged from the darkness and stood in front of Wen Ling.

"To live."

Wen Ling had a faint smile and a cold figure.

"Yes."

Both sides moved simultaneously, swords clashing in a murderous atmosphere. Their target was the princess, and several assassins broke through the encirclement and headed towards Wen Ling.

Good thing they came! Wen Ling was faintly eager to give it a try. She stepped forward to meet the enemy but was pulled away by Gu Muqing.

Wen Ling: ???

"Princess, the sword has no eyes. Please stand back."

Good god, after all this time she still doesn’t believe that she knows martial arts.

Wen Ling felt that she needed to prove herself, so she quickly kicked down a killer, snatched the big knife from his hand, and slashed the throats of all the killers who were coming towards her.

Gu Muqing was stunned.

Is this still the princess she knew? Her princess was so delicate and fragile, but she didn't expect her fighting power to be so strong.

The last killer was left behind. Seeing that the situation was settled, he was about to bite the poison in his mouth, but Wen Ling cut his jaw cleanly.

"Okay, tie him up."

The people below took action, but Gu Muqing looked at Wen Ling with starry eyes, and the light in his eyes became brighter.

Seeing this, Wen Ling touched her nose again and raised her hand to cover her eyes.

"Don't look at me like that."

It was quite embarrassing. Gu Muqing pulled Wen Ling's soft hand and rubbed it. Oh, the princess's hands were so tender and white. I loved them.

Wen Ling didn't notice her little movement, but instead saw blood oozing from her arm.

Pulling it over, "Don't you feel the pain?"

Following Wen Ling's gaze, Gu Muqing realized that his arm had been injured at some point. It was probably because those people took advantage of him when he first tried to pull the princess.

Wen Ling also thought of this, and for a moment her face turned grim, mainly because the wound was bleeding black blood. The knife was smeared with poison.

Wen Ling breathed a sigh of relief after learning from Xiao Qi that it wasn't a particularly powerful poison, but rather had a paralyzing and powerless effect.

It was at this time that Shen Jingyou came over.

Seeing the bloody smell on the ground, Shen Jingyou's anger and grievance disappeared in an instant, and he pulled Wen Ling to check repeatedly.

Wen Ling didn't expect him to come over. This scene was difficult to explain.

Holding his hand, Wen Ling explained, "I'm fine, it's just Qing who's hurt."

Only then did Shen Jingyou see Gu Muqing standing next to Wen Ling. He felt a little depressed for a moment, but it seemed that he had saved Wen Ling.

Besides feeling sour, he was also a little annoyed that he came out so late.

I have mixed feelings, but what comes to my mind now is fear. Such a delicate little princess must have been scared.

The thought of her getting hurt, or even—

For a moment, he felt not only fear but also self-blame. He said he liked her, but he hadn't noticed when someone actually had murderous intentions towards Wen Ling.

He could probably guess who it was. He was the only one who was so bold and had recently made enemies with them.

I couldn't help but curse myself for being useless again.

It’s right that Wen Ling doesn’t like him.

Looking at the fair and handsome boy in front of her, with his brows furrowed and eyes lowered, but he just held her hand tightly, her heart softened a little.

"I'm really fine."

Shen Jingyou responded in a muffled voice, but still kept his head down and said nothing.

Wen Ling patted his big hand and then went to pull Gu Muqing away. Her wound still needed to be treated quickly.

Shen Jingyou looked at their intimate behavior with dim eyes and pursed his lips.

Maybe this man is just stronger than him. At least he can come to rescue Wen Ling in time when Wen Ling is in danger.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was being unreasonable. They were just a fake couple and had signed an agreement.

But he still felt sad. He knew that he liked Wen Ling, but it was the first time he knew that he liked Wen Ling so much.

He felt uncomfortable when he thought that Wen Ling would be with another man in the future.

But he had no reason to stop it. What else did he have except the title of the Prince of Zhenguo? He was neither good at literature nor at martial arts.

He was so terrible that he couldn't show up in time when she needed him.

He suddenly felt that what her mother said was right. Why would she like him?

The fact that he failed to show up in time when Wen Ling was in danger tonight was a huge blow to the young man who had always been full of vigor and vitality. All the negative emotions surged up in an instant.

For the first time, Shen Jingyou felt a little disgusted with himself.

Wen Ling was preoccupied with her own affairs and didn't notice that Shen Jingyou was in a bad mood. After sending Gu Muqing back, she still had to go to the palace. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Chu Yuan is so lawless. He dared to attack her this time, and he might dare to attack Shen Jingyou next time.

This is absolutely not possible. This time she wants Chu Yuan to die.

Shen Jingyou followed the two of them to the courtyard that Wen Ling arranged for Gu Muqing.

Entering the courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart. So, did Wen Ling keep this man here? Seeing Wen Ling, he knew where the man's house was without asking or hesitating.

My eyes were red with sadness. It was obvious that this was not her first time doing this, as she was so skilled.

Is it because he is holding a position that is getting in their way?

No matter how sad I felt, I followed the two of them into the house.

Seeing Wen Ling tearing open the sleeve of Gu Muqing's left arm without any hesitation to apply medicine to her personally, he couldn't help but think of the last time Wen Ling applied medicine to him.

The boy couldn't control his tears, but he still stared at her in a self-torturing manner.

He is not the most special one in Wen Ling's eyes at all.
