Chapter 106: One hundred and six, carrying the wife and walking together!_1

He felt grateful to her for running towards him despite everything.

But at the same time, a strong sense of guilt surged within him.

Guilt that she felt the need to rush toward him with abandon in such a dangerous situation.

These emotions were truly complex.

He held Ji Pianran tighter and tighter, his heart filled with both emotion and guilt.

Wishing he could embed her softly into his very marrow.

"Wife, it’s all right now."

He continued to say.

Ji Pianran sniffed and raised her head to look up at Gu Chen’s face.

Her eyelashes were wet, and her eyes, glossy with tears, still held a hint of grievance.

It was the first time Gu Chen had seen such an expression on her face.

His heart felt like it was breaking.

"I’m sorry, Pian Ran."

Upon hearing his words, Ji Pianran’s tears once again shamelessly spilled out.

Humans really are strange creatures; originally, Ji Pianran didn’t feel aggrieved, just scared and anxious.

But the moment she embraced Gu Chen, an indescribable sense of injustice flooded her heart.

He cares about her, doesn’t he?

She occupied a place in his heart!

She looked at Gu Chen with misty eyes, steadfastly gazing into his.

Because she cried, Ji Pianran’s voice had a nasal quality to it, which was extremely pleasant to hear.

"You always say sorry..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was so beautiful even when angry, his eyes and heart were filled completely with her at that moment.

Gu Chen’s heart felt as if it were being gently scratched over and over again.

His throat involuntarily tightened.

He swallowed, while the depth of feeling in his eyes flowed like boundless seawater.

"I’m really sorry, I won’t let you worry like this again."

Upon hearing these words, Ji Pianran gave him a white glance and sniffed lightly.

She looked at Gu Chen very seriously.

Uttering each word with extreme sincerity, she said, "Next time something like this happens, you must wait for me too. What would happen to me and Tangtang if anything happened to you alone?"

Gu Chen: "!!!"

He squinted his eyes, the expression on his face nothing short of incredible.

Wait for her?

What did that mean?

Did she intend to join him in confronting the criminals?

A girl who wouldn’t even dare to kill a chicken wanted to fight criminals alongside him?

Gu Chen rubbed his forehead.

Feeling amused yet touched at the same time.

She was actually willing to risk her life for him, and not just once.

It truly was a joyous thing.

Seeing the expression on his face, Ji Pianran said nonchalantly, "Two people are surely better than one, right? Did you see how dangerous it was just now?"

Gu Chen couldn’t help but nod, smiling bitterly.

"Absolutely, my wife, you’re absolutely right!"

How could his silly wife be so adorable!

The police, who initially hesitated to disrupt the couple since the criminal was armed with a knife and they must have been quite scared, felt it was too much.

They had work to do after all.

An officer walked over helplessly, picking up the dagger from the ground.

Cleared his throat twice, and only then did he look towards Gu Chen.

"We’re very thankful for your brave actions today. We’ll take him back to the station now to record his statement."

Upon hearing the officer’s voice, Ji Pianran’s eyelids twitched.

She instantly sprang out of Gu Chen’s embrace.

Oh no!

She had been so nervous and scared just before, she had completely forgotten there were others around!

And not just anyone, but the police!

She actually cuddled and embraced in front of the officers!!!

This is just too undignified!

Utterly embarrassing.

Seeing Ji Pianran’s face turn crimson, Gu Chen knew she was feeling shy again.

He reached out and pulled Ji Pianran behind him before turning to face the police officer.

"I really appreciate your help."

At that moment, another officer who was looking at Ma Huan carefully inspected his face, furrowed his brows, and muttered to himself in confusion.

"Strange, why does he look so familiar?"

Hearing this, the other police officer glanced at him with annoyance, "He’s armed with a knife and looks like a repeat offender; it’s normal that he looks familiar to you!"

The two went back and forth, never suspecting that the man was the fugitive with a huge reward on his head from the newspapers!

It wasn’t that the police officers had poor eyesight, mainly because Ma Huan was covered in dirt from head to face from the flowerpot Pian Ran had smashed on him.

In such a sorry state, not even the police, let alone his own mother, would have easily recognized him.

Three minutes later, the police car with its siren blaring drove out of the alleyway.

Gu Chen, unhurried, began to lead Ji Pianran towards the exit.

They had only taken a few steps when Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen with an embarrassed expression.

"Could we, perhaps, rest a bit before we continue?"

She had just been through such an ordeal, and it was impossible for her to have calmed down so quickly.

Although she was no longer afraid or nervous now, her legs just wouldn’t muster any strength, as if she were stepping on cotton.

Soft and weak.

Hearing her say that, Gu Chen finally looked down at Ji Pianran’s legs.

Seeing that they were still trembling uncontrollably, he felt extremely distressed.

Without another word, he reached out to lift Ji Pianran into his arms.

"I’ll carry you out."

As the pair of hands on her waist gripped tighter,

Ji Pianran felt overwhelmed.

They were about to leave the alley!

If he carried her out like this, how many people would see them?

They would certainly mock her for being shameless!

No way!

She didn’t want to be laughed at!

Just the thought of it made Ji Pianran’s face involuntarily turn red again.

She quickly said, "It’s okay, I just need a little rest."

Gu Chen couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly at her awkward appearance and teasingly looked at the blushing Ji Pianran before him.

"Then let me give you a piggyback ride, you can choose the front or back!"

Seeing Gu Chen’s seemingly indifferent demeanor, Ji Pianran knew she couldn’t refuse.

And truly, she couldn’t walk on her own.

She pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed as she said, "Then, give me a piggyback ride."

After all, being carried piggyback was more presentable than being held in arms.

Gu Chen smiled and turned around, squatting down slightly to make it easier for Ji Pianran to climb on his back.

With flushed cheeks, she gently pounced onto his back.

Feeling her weight, Gu Chen quickly stood up and held onto Ji Pianran’s legs.

Walking forward with contentment.

Ji Pianran really was very light, and Gu Chen carried her effortlessly.

They had gone about three or four meters.

Gu Chen’s scalp started tingling.

It had to be said, Ji Pianran was really quite something.

Even through the cotton clothes, Gu Chen could feel the softness pressing against his back.

His scalp tingled even more.

His heartbeat quickened with each thump, and his blood seemed to roar through his body, as if craving to burst forth.

Gu Chen paused for a moment, then adjusted his hold.

Continued walking forward.

Ji Pianran thought she might be tiring out Gu Chen, her mind preoccupied with how to make it easier for him.

Thinking this, she shifted her body, leaning forward a bit more.

Gu Chen was already having a hard time!

Her moving only made it harder.

Now the back of his head throbbed incessantly.
