The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195: 124 Big Brother (First Update)_3

Gu Jiao has dealt the man such a shock that not even those assassins could stir his emotions anymore.

He hesitated for a bit, then spurred his horse to follow her: “I’ll escort you.”

“Huh?” Gu Jiao tilted her head to look at him.

The man paused before answering: “I also reside near Guozijian, we are heading the same way.”

“Suit yourself.” Gu Jiao arrived at Xiangyun Inn and boarded the carriage she had rented from the marketplace.

The man was actually worried that the assassins hadn’t gone far and had targeted Gu Jiao, hence his suggestion of escorting her home.

Fortunately, they did not spot any trace of assassins all the way to Gu Jiao’s doorstep. The assassins must not have caught up.

This was good.

He didn’t want to drag her into his trouble.

Gu Jiao paid the carriage fare and the driver drove away. The man was about to leave too: “I take my leave.”

Gu Jiao nodded: “Please, take care.”

“Huh? Jiaojiao! Big Brother!”

Little Jing Kong had spotted them through the door gap and had bounded over. He held something tightly behind his back, not letting Gu Jiao see it.

He tilted his little head and asked: “Jiaojiao, how come you and Big Brother came back together? Is Big Brother coming to visit our home?”

The man was reminded of how Gu Jiao had acted similarly just earlier. This was indeed a family, even their gestures and actions were so alike.

Gu Jiao ruffled his little head, saying: “Big Brother just happened to pass by.”

“Oh!” Little Jing Kong pondered for a bit, then moved a step towards the doorway, saying, “Then I’ll talk to Big Brother for a bit!”

“Alright.” Gu Jiao pretended not to notice the item hidden in his hands.
