Su Lingzhi and Gu Zhen were having breakfast together, but her eyes frequently drifted towards Gu Zhen's legs. It was difficult for Gu Zhen to ignore her gaze. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with your leg?" Su Lingzhi said, "Is it injured? It's a bit difficult to walk."

"Yeah, lame."

Su Lingzhi was drinking porridge, and the spoon fell into the porridge with a harsh sound. Gu Zhen looked over calmly, "I am lame, will you still marry me?"

"Getting married?" Su Lingzhi was confused. "We were engaged yesterday, so we are getting married today?"

"I'm asking you." Gu Zhen was persistent, as if even if he had broken legs and arms, Su Lingzhi would not despise him, otherwise he would turn into a wolf and eat her bite by bite.

Su Lingzhi lowered his eyes, not writing a blank check, and acting like an ostrich.

Gu Zhen's face was slightly gloomy and frighteningly cold, but he did not make a scene. Su Lingzhi trembled while eating breakfast. Perhaps it was because she looked at Gu Zhen's leg with too much burning eyes. Butler Zhao explained, "The young master's leg is injured and the stitches have not been removed yet. He is not lame. Don't worry, Miss Su."

Su Lingzhi's face turned red and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Gu Zhen went to the study, Su Lingzhi returned to the bedroom, and found her dagger in the drawer of the bedside table. She gently stroked the pattern on the dagger. If she killed Gu Zhen, she could go home. But Gu Zhen wanted to marry her. He set off a fireworks show that shocked the whole city, and used drones to show his love in a high-profile manner, supporting her and protecting her from harm. She was determined to conquer Gu Zhen, and it seemed that she really succeeded. Gu Zhen fell in love with her and lost his defense. It was easy for her to kill Gu Zhen. Did she really want to kill Gu Zhen?

Can she do it?

As soon as she thought of this, she felt another sharp pain in her head. It was the kind of pain that felt like a nerve was being pulled. It was so painful that she almost fainted. It was like the system was giving her a warning that if she didn't kill Gu Zhen, she would die!

She doesn't want to die!

No one in this world is more important than her.

"Su Lingzhi, what's wrong with you?" Gu Zhen's voice floated from the door. Su Lingzhi was frightened, the dagger fell to the ground, and he covered his head with his hands, his eyes reddened.

Gu Zhen's face changed slightly. He quickly walked over, picked her up and put her on the bed. Looking at Su Lingzhi's snow-white face and painful eyes, Gu Zhen's eyes were full of heartache and he wished he could bear such pain for her.

"Does it hurt a lot?" He took the painkillers and water cup from the bedside, stuffed the cup into Su Lingzhi's hand, and poured out a painkiller. Su Lingzhi was already a little dizzy from the pain, and his head was spinning.

"what is this?"

"Painkillers. Take them and you'll feel better."

Su Lingzhi swallowed the medicine and almost lost the glass of water. Gu Zhen took the glass away, helped her lie down, and gently rubbed the acupuncture points near her temple. The painkillers did not work so quickly. Gu Zhen's warm fingers gently pressed on her temple covered with cold sweat. She could feel the thin calluses on his fingertips, his warm body temperature, and the familiar breath. The surging pain was slowly soothed by him, and a layer of tears appeared in Su Lingzhi's eyes.

"It hurts so much, Gu Zhen." Su Lingzhi cried, her tears rolling down and wetting the pillow.

Gu Zhen was broken by her tears, feeling extremely uncomfortable, with a slight redness in his eyes. Su Lingzhi was a girl who loved to act coquettishly, no, a girl who loved to act coquettishly. She was not afraid of pain at all, as if she had no pain nerves. But now she was in so much pain that she cried in his arms. He felt distressed, but he could not replace her pain.

He kissed her eyelids and nose, "Just bear with it, it will be over soon."

The gentle kiss and the distressed tone of the man comforted Su Lingzhi. She cried and cried until she fell asleep in Gu Zhen's arms. She didn't know whether she was tired or fainted from the pain. Gu Zhen wiped her tears, his deep eyes flashing with distress and anger, but more of it was forbearance. He could only watch Su Lingzhi suffer.

"Baby, bear with it for a while." It was the first time that Gu Zhen called her baby. His voice was extremely gentle, and his thin lips touched her eyelids. "I promise, it won't hurt soon."

Su Lingzhi frowned in pain even in her sleep. Gu Zhen was very patient and stroked her brows again and again. When Su Lingzhi fell asleep completely and the painkillers took effect, she was no longer in pain. Gu Zhen slowly got up and looked at her deeply. He saw the dagger on the blanket out of the corner of his eye. Gu Zhen walked over and picked up the dagger. The dagger had been on the bedside table for a long time. When Su Lingzhi played with the dagger for the first time, she put it on the bedside table. Gu Zhen asked her why she carried a dagger with her.

Su Lingzhi said that she could feel at ease if she kept a dagger in her bedroom for self-defense.

Gu Zhen looked up at Su Lingzhi's sleeping face and silently put the dagger in the bedside table.

Su Lingzhi woke up again. It was already noon. The table was full of her favorite dishes. Su Lingzhi still remembered the pain before she fell asleep and was feeling a little depressed.

Butler Zhao brought her a bowl of mango sago and said, "Miss Su, this is your favorite dessert. If you are in a bad mood, eat more dessert and you will feel better."

Su Lingzhi, who had no appetite at all, quickly ate a bowl of mango sago. When she wanted another bowl, Gu Zhen came downstairs and asked, "You're having dessert before dinner. Are you still going to have dinner?"

Su Lingzhi, "..."
