Chapter 95 - Protective Talisman

When Yan Xi heard this, she zipped her mouth shut. After a while, she could not help but say softly, “I’m actually quite obedient.”

If sitting on his lap, squirming, and biting his lips was considered obediently, then she indeed was.

“Do you even know what you are talking about?” Although his words were harsh, his tone was gentle. “There’s a sandalwood box in my room. Bring it over.”

Sandalwood box sounded like something good. Yan Xi ran over to bring it over and placed it on Gu Shen’s lap.

The color of the box was very deep, and the fragrance that uniquely belonged to wood floated over. Yan Xi stared curiously and realized that inside was actually a Protective Talisman.

“Come here.” Gu Shen took out the Protective Talisman and signaled Yan Xi to come closer. He then hung the Protective Talisman with the red string on her fair neck.

He did not believe in heaven, nor did he believe in fate, nor did he believe in ghosts or deities.

However, when he met Yan Xi, he hoped that millions of deities would bless her to be happy and healthy and to always be by her side.

“You went to the temple to get me this?” Yan Xi looked at the Protective Talisman in surprise, unable to hide the joy on her face.

“Yes, I heard it’s very effective.”

“Llike it a lot. I’ll always wear the Protective Talisman on me.”

“As long as you like it.” Gu Shen smiled, his eyes gentle.

In addition to the Protective Talisman, he would also protect her for the rest of her life.

Yan Xi lowered her head and held the Protective Talisman in her hand. It was a small thing, but she felt like it weighed tons.

She thought about it and said to Gu Shen, “If the trouble I caused yesterday makes things difficult for you, I’ll settle it with Yan Dong on my own. I promise there won’t be any mistakes.”

“Forget about what happened yesterday. I will get people to deal with it.” Gu Shen looked at her, his tone firm.

“Thank you, President Gu!”

Yan Xi smiled and moved closer to Gu Shen, asking for more. “Other than the Protective Talisman, are there any other gifts you prepared for me?”

“Go get it yourself from the third drawer of the cabinet in your room.”

Yan Xi couldn’t wait to run out. Soon, she came back with a bunch of snacks, all of which were what she wanted.

“You actually bought all of them!”

Gu Shen touched his nose and looked a little clumsy. “Gu Er bought them.”

“But you were the one who instructed him to do that.” Yan Xi placed the red bean cake, chestnuts, and some snacks on the table. She smiled and opened a piece of snack, handing it to Gu Shen.

“Try it. It’s not bad.”

Gu Shen opened his mouth obediently and ate a piece of pastry Yan Xi delivered to her mouth. As he rolled the pastry into his mouth with his tongue, he accidentally touched Yan Xi’s finger, and a shiver came rushing down his spine.

Yan Xi retracted her hand. “Eat your food. Why are you biting my finger?”

Gu Shen tilted his head and avoided her gaze. His ears were burning. “I’m sorry.”

“There’s no use apologizing unless you let me bite back.”

“When you went to look for Yan Xi behind my back, did you ever think that you would be set up by her? She’s no longer the Yan Xi of the past. Can’t you be more careful? Look at yourself now. You’re just embarrassing me!”

Yan Dong angrily threw the phone in front of Luo Yun. On the screen of the phone was a video of a livestream. In the livestream, Luo Yun looked disheveled, and she was moaning painfully as she slept with a man. Every detail was captured clearly.

Luo Yun gritted her teeth and did not dare to watch the live show, but she was filled with hatred.

At that time, after she was injected with the drug, the drug took effect quickly. That man who came in didn’t check her identity and, driven by lust, violated her.

She was planning to film Yan Xi and threaten her with the video. But it tuned out that she was beaten in her own game. Luo Yun could not take this lying down!

“What else can we do now? We can’t let her continue being arrogant. Now with Gu Shen’s support, she is simply outrageous.”

She looked up at Yan Dong and said hysterically, “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll turn around and attack you? Don’t forget how much she hates the Yan family now!”

Yan Dong frowned. “I’ll get someone to delete the videos on the web. As for Yan Xi…”

A vicious look flashed across Yan Dong’s eyes.

However, at the thought of Gu Shen, Yan Dong immediately started to waver. The Yan family was currently losing money on many projects. If they stopped collaborating with the Gu family, there would be no more funds.

Hence, he could not lose his cooperation with the Gu family, at least not now..
