Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1479 A Woman’s Intuition

Qiao Xi stood in front of the French windows. She turned slightly to look at the man behind her. A ray of light happened to shine in from the window and shone on her. Every strand of her hair seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold. Her eyelashes were long, leaving a shadow on her eyelids. Her fair skin was suffused with a dazzling light under the sunlight, and her lips were as delicate as cherries. She slowly said, “Ah Zheng, do you agree?”

In the silence, Gu Zheng suddenly smiled. His gaze was gentle like water. “I agree.”

He agreed? The shadow guards standing at the door were quite shocked, but they also heaved a sigh of relief for An Long.

An Long originally thought that there was no way to salvage the situation, but he did not expect Young Madam to get him to stay with just one sentence. He did not expect the person who would plead for him to be the rich madam he had looked down on from the beginning.

At this moment, An Long was extremely ashamed. He could not help but doubt that lady’s words. Young Madam was clearly a decisive person who did things swiftly and decisively. Moreover, she was kind-hearted. Why did outsiders think that she was stupid?

However, that lady would not have lied to him. She did not know that he was the president’s shadow guard at all, so there was no need to target Young Madam. She had probably heard some rumors from somewhere, so she casually said a few words.

An Long felt very guilty. He offended Young Madam without distinguishing right or wrong. However, Young Madam disregarded the past and even pleaded for him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had made a huge mistake. He should not have doubted the president and Young Madam just because of someone else’s casual words.

Qiao Xi glanced at An Long. The blood on the back of his hand had already dried up, so she instructed softly, “Uncle Sheng, quickly bring him to the treatment room.”

When An Long heard this, he felt guilty and grateful. He knelt on the floor and kowtowed heavily to Qiao Xi twice. “Young Madam, from today onward, I, An Long, am your shadow guard. I’ll protect your safety to the death and absolutely obey your orders!”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up as she waved her hand to signal them to leave.

After the shadow guards dispersed, Gu Zheng asked unhurriedly, “Why do you want to keep him by your side? Is it just because he’s an outstanding shadow guard?”

Song Shijing was also a little curious. After what An Long had just said, Young Madam should be very angry, but it seemed that Young Madam did not care at all. She even begged for mercy for An Long. Could it be that Young Madam had changed her mind because of the pity on his and Uncle Sheng’s faces?

At the thought of this, Song Shijing’s heart trembled. He quickly opened his mouth to admit his mistake. The next second, he heard Qiao Xi’s light voice. “Because he’s an impulsive person.”

Impulsive?

Song Shijing looked confused, but Gu Zheng smirked.

Qiao Xi said indifferently, “He’s quite loyal. Unfortunately, he’s too impulsive, so it’s not appropriate for him to stay by your side. Moreover, he’s never seen me before, but he knows about me. I’m very curious about who he heard about me from.”

Song Shijing was enlightened and could not help but be shocked.

“I’m guessing that someone told him about me. He’s loyal to you and values relationships, so he thinks that I’m not worthy of you and looks down on me. Now that he realizes that I’m different from the rumors and I even pleaded to keep him, he feels guilty. He has even decided to be loyal to me for the rest of his life. People who are too impulsive are easily used by others and are not suitable to stay in important positions.”

Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Do you think someone is controlling him?”

Qiao Xi smiled. “I can’t say that they’re controlling him. An Long is indeed loyal to you, but he also trusts that person very much, so he easily believed their words.

“The shadow guards beside you are naturally not fools. For him to be able to trust the other party means that the two of them have known each other for a period of time. That person should know An Long very well and know that he’s a sentimental person. They deliberately said something about me in front of him and made him look for trouble with me. Hence, that person is here for me.”

Hearing this, Song Shijing said immediately, “President, Young Madam, I’ll investigate who instigated An Long behind the scenes. Could it be another shadow guard…”

“Impossible.” Qiao Xi shook her head. “There’s no need to investigate the shadow guards who were with him. Go and find out who he has gotten to know in the past year. It’s very likely that it’s a woman. You’ll probably be able to guess who it is just by looking at the name.”

“Yes, Young Madam,” Song Shijing agreed, but his eyes were cold.

The other party had actually schemed against the president’s shadow guards. This was too much.

At this moment, Gu Zheng slowly walked in front of Qiao Xi and smiled with interest. “Why do you think that the other party is a woman?”

Qiao Xi blinked and smiled mysteriously. “A woman’s intuition.”
