Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School - Chapter 1195 - 1195 Without You, I Wouldn’t Be Here Today

1195 Without You, I Wouldn’t Be Here Today

When Zhi Tong heard this, he nodded and said to Bai Zhou, “Sure!”

On the other hand, Bai Zhou shook his head gently and rejected her. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Zhi Tong just came to China. It’s better to stay here and adapt. Chi Yang will accompany me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou looked at Jian Ai and smiled. “Didn’t you say that Leader Hans is very friendly? He won’t do anything dangerous to me, right?”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile when she heard this. Although she had only interacted with Leader Hans for a short time, Jian Ai knew he was an open and aboveboard person. Moreover, Bai Zhou was going to negotiate with him for funding this time. Leader Hans’ mercenary group’s urgent need was there. They would treat Bai Zhou well as a distinguished guest.

“Don’t worry. Even if the negotiation fails, Leader Hans won’t do anything to you,” Jian Ai said.

However, she already had some predictions in her heart. Bai Zhou’s trip should not have been for nothing.

Since Bai Zhou had already decided, the others did not interfere too much. Moreover, everyone felt that Bai Zhou’s choice was correct. From the beginning, Yun Buyao, Chi Lian, and Yu Wuyuan had expressed their support for Bai Zhou to fund the mercenary group.

Everyone expected Bai Zhou to decide.

After dinner, Bai Zhou went to the open-air garden on the roof alone. The night wind blew against his face, and the cold air made him stay awake. Bai Zhou’s silver-white hair moved with the wind, and his sparkling eyes were filled with melancholy. He looked up at the cold crescent moon in the sky and fell into a temporary deep thought.

When Jian Ai brought the champagne to the top floor, she saw such a scene. Bai Zhou was like a lost lone wolf. Even his back looked confused.

Jian Ai’s heart tightened, and she couldn’t help but sigh softly. Ever since she reunited with Bai Zhou, she had never seen Bai Zhou in such a low mood. Even at the dining table just now, it was not difficult to tell that he was trying his best to be friendly and cater to everyone. He was just forcing a smile.

It had been a while since the incident happened, but Bai Zhou had not completely accepted the truth. It could be seen how much of a blow the truth of this matter was to him.

After hesitating for a moment, Jian Ai walked forward.

Hearing footsteps, Bai Zhou came back to his senses. He turned around and saw Jian Ai. The emotions on his face were instantly swept away, and he smiled. “Boss!”

He always refused to show weakness in front of her, which made Jian Ai’s heart ache even more.

“It’s just you and me. Don’t pretend. I know you can’t get over this,” Jian Ai stood in front of Bai Zhou and said slowly.

When Bai Zhou heard this, he couldn’t help but lower his eyes and whisper, “I’m the weakest among the twelve guards, but I can’t even handle my emotions. I don’t want you to think I’m useless.”

“You know I wouldn’t think that way at all.” Jian Ai paused and said righteously, “In my heart, there’s no such thing as who’s stronger or who’s weaker. You’re all people I care about. Compared to them, you undoubtedly have more weight in my heart!”

Jian Ai’s words were not just to comfort Bai Zhou, but the truth in her heart.

She also wanted to make everyone in the twelve guards have the same weight in her heart, but people were creatures with both emotions and rationality. Jian Ai knew herself. She was often more emotional with relationships.

She cared about everyone from the ancient sect who appeared beside her, but if she had to choose among these people, Jian Ai knew that Bai Zhou and Si Yue occupied more feelings in her heart.

She could not divide her heart evenly into twelve pieces for everyone to have a fixed space. She was not a robot, so she admitted she cared more about Bai Zhou.

When Bai Zhou heard Jian Ai’s words, he couldn’t help but feel flattered. “Boss, are you serious?”

Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but chuckle and nod. “You’re the first of the twelve guards to appear beside me. You’ve always been by my side. When I need help the most, you’ll always be standing beside me.”

“Bai Zhou, don’t belittle yourself. You might not have any other mental cultivation techniques to protect yourself or fight, but you’re the most irreplaceable person in my heart. Without you, I, Jian Ai, wouldn’t be where I am today!”

Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today!

The weight of these words was like a huge mountain pressing down on Bai Zhou, making his breathing stop. His gradually chaotic heartbeat showed he could not hide his excitement. The Sect Master had said such words to him.

“I don’t deserve it. It’s my mission to serve the Sect Master!” After the shock, Bai Zhou quickly lowered his head with a terrified expression.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou felt a warmth in his hand. Jian Ai held his soft and slightly cold hand. Her voice followed. “I’m not good at expressing my feelings, but everything I said today was from the bottom of my heart!”

“You’re one of the most important people in my life, so no matter what choice you make, I’ll always support you like how you support me unconditionally. Even if you’re wrong, I’ll stand behind you!”

“Similarly, if someone in this world wants to harm you covetously, I won’t sit idle. Bai Zhou, I fully understand the struggle in your heart, but this isn’t enough for me to let go of those who want to hurt you!”

“Whether or not he’s your brother, even if he’s your father, I won’t allow anyone to covet your life.”

“Therefore, you don’t have to sink into the quagmire of relationships because there are some things you can’t do, but I can!”

“Boss, I…” Bai Zhou looked at the determined and sincere light in Jian Ai’s starry eyes and was speechless.

He had never seen his boss say these words to him in such a serious tone. It turned out that he had such an important position in his boss’s heart.

Other than feeling touched, Bai Zhou also felt deeply uneasy because he seemed to have heard the signs in Jian Ai’s words. The boss seemed to mean that if he could not decide, the boss would do it herself!

“You don’t have to worry!” Jian Ai saw the uneasiness in Bai Zhou’s eyes and couldn’t help but soften her tone. “I’m not a rash person. There’s more than one solution to some things. As Xiao Zhen said, the most important thing now is to figure out Prince Qi Ye’s goal in attacking you. Is there a motive to kill you, or is there another misunderstanding? Unless necessary, I won’t kill your brother.”

Without waiting for Bai Zhou to speak, Jian Ai added, “Of course, I’m not being merciful. I just don’t want you to be sad. I hope there’s still room for negotiation.”

“If not, and if someone has to die, I’ll kill him!”
