Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

"Xier..."

After hearing what Zhang Zixi said, Adjutant Zhang had a look of disappointment on his face, and his tone sounded even more aggrieved.

"For now... this is the only way..." Zhang Zixi sighed and said something more euphemistically when she saw his expression.

"Unless we can find evidence that Jie Rong is scheming against you, otherwise, if she is pregnant, Master Jiu will certainly ask you to give an explanation."

"If you don't give it to me, no matter how many people are willing to believe you, the relationship between Master Jiu and my brother will inevitably be broken."

"We still don't have evidence to prove that it was Jie Rong who did it all, so naturally we are at a disadvantage. Without evidence, my brother will not be able to discuss this matter with Master Jiu."

"What's more, the Xie family is also one of the Nine Sects, so it's not worth it to make enemies with them, so this matter can only be left like this for now."

Zhang Zixi was much clearer at this moment than Adjutant Zhang, whose brain was dominated by emotions.

"Then I'll marry someone else, and you..."

"I don't have to get married." Zhang Zixi said nonchalantly.

"But...I...I really don't want to marry her."

"Xier... since you believe in me... can we go find Master Buddha again..." Adjutant Zhang became uneasy at the thought of marrying someone he hated.

"Do you think I feel good?"

"I was out for a day, and on the way back I heard so many rumors. I didn't believe them at first, but now I have to believe them!"

"Do you think I have no feelings at all if I have to watch the person I love marry someone else?"

"Calm down first, okay?" Zhang Zixi got angry when she saw Adjutant Zhang's rare unreasonable look. She shook off his hand, turned around and wiped her tears. In fact, she was also feeling aggrieved.

"Xi'er... I'm sorry..." Adjutant Zhang hated to see Zhang Zixi cry, so he quickly moved closer and held her in his arms to comfort her.

"It's all my fault, it's my fault. I'm sorry, Xi'er... don't cry..."

Zhang Zixi cried in his arms for a while, then gradually calmed down. She sniffed and said viciously, "Isn't Jie Rong capable? I'm not a soft persimmon that she can bully. I want to see how powerful she can be!"

Zhang Zixi looked up from Adjutant Zhang's arms and saw his swollen face and broken mouth. Thinking of his previous aggrieved, sad and self-blaming look, she caressed his face and said, "When I catch her, I will make her pay double!"

"After the sun rises tomorrow, we will no longer have this kind of relationship for the time being." Zhang Zixi snuggled into his arms again.

"Yeah." Adjutant Zhang knew what she meant and hugged her very tightly, as if he wanted to melt into his body.

Zhang Zixi tilted her head to glance at the clock and saw that the hands were about to point to 12.

"You still have five hours to hug me legitimately, Adjutant Zhang." Zhang Zixi leaned over and kissed him on the lips and said.

Adjutant Zhang took advantage of the situation and hugged her, deepening the kiss.

That night, both of them were reluctant to fall asleep. They talked a lot, from the past, present to the future, until the sky... was already dawn.

Zhang Zixi looked at the gradually rising horizon and listened to the clear bird calls outside the window. Finally, she could no longer hold on to her hazy consciousness and fell asleep in his arms.

When Adjutant Zhang heard the servants' preparations, he reluctantly carried Zhang Zixi back to her room to sleep. He gently kissed her on the forehead, looked at her a few more times, hesitated for several times, gritted his teeth and left.

"Xi'er...wait for me..."
