Qingzhu complied, lifted his foot, then set it down again.
"Marquis, if he asks why, how should I respond?"
Zhao Xiyan remained silent for a moment, then when he looked up, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"Tell him that I have already found the person I need to protect."
Qingzhu glanced at Qi Yue, respectfully bowed his head, and quickly left.
The duo's enigmatic conversation left Qi Yue impatient.
Seeing Qingzhu leave, she couldn't wait to ask.
"Husband, who were you talking about? Why is this person so difficult to invite, and why do you want him here?"
Zhao Xiyan deeply looked at Qi Yue.
"He is my bodyguard. Now that I am in need, he should naturally come."
"I don't understand." Qi Yue pouted, "Clearly, Qingzhu is worried that he wouldn't come, isn't he?"
"That's not the case," Zhao Xiyan pursed his lips, "there are some things Qingzhu doesn't know."
"What things? Can't I know them?"
