Jun Jin looked at Jiujiu's eyes that were filled with tears because of sadness. As his eyelids drooped, a tear slowly slid down from the corner of his eye. 1357924?
Jun Jin looked at Jiujiu's eyes with deep hurt. After a long time, he murmured: "Is Your Highness lying to me?"
She should love him. Her fiancé could only be himself. How could it be anyone else?
Jiujiu frowned and looked at Jun Jin with some confusion, not understanding what Jun Jin meant.
In her previous life, it was Mu Qing who pestered Jun Jin in order to get Jun Jin to agree. But in this life, she had already distanced herself from him from the very beginning. She didn't even say a word. She was already so far away from Jun Jin. Why was Jun Jin looking at her with such a sad expression?
This attitude, it was as if she was a heartless person. Only the heavens knew that she hadn't even touched a strand of Jun Jin's hair.
She didn't do anything, but Jun Jin's expression made her feel like she had done everything. She was drunk.
Jiujiu was speechless at Jun Jin. Pursing her lips, her eyes were calm: "Young Master Jun must be joking. Why would I lie to you?"
Jun Jin was stunned. A moment later, pain flashed in his eyes. His mouth trembled and he didn't recover for a long time.
"This one is stupid." Jun Jin raised his head and looked at Jiujiu deeply. Then he staggered away.
Looking at Jun Jin's back, Jiujiu pursed her lips and said to Twelve: "Why did you let him in just now?"
They had clearly agreed that it would be the two of them eating. Why did Twelve agree to let Jun Jin eat with them?
Twelve lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, he likes you."
Although expressions and actions can deceive, but the eyes will never. And Jun Jin's words and actions, and the way he looked at Jiujiu, clearly showed that he had deep feelings for her.
Twelve hearts were in love with Jiujiu. He would naturally understand what a person would look like when they liked another person. And Jun Jin's behavior just so happened to show that he also liked Jiujiu.
Twelve was sent to the palace for training since he was a child. He was always the best.
Whether it was killing people or protecting people, he was the best.
When he was 15 years old, he defeated the previous leader of the Dark Guards and was appointed as the new leader of the Dark Guards by the Empress. He was then sent to protect Jiujiu.
It could be said that he had watched Jiujiu grow up. He had watched Jiujiu grow from a young and inexperienced little girl to an outstanding woman. He had also watched her being forced into marriage by the empress and her imperial husband.
As for him, he was no longer able to calm down after that time.
He was an excellent secret guard, he knew how to control his hatred, he knew how to make himself look emotionless, but he could never control his heart that wanted to like Jiujiu.
He fell in love with Jiujiu. This was the conclusion that twelve came to after thinking for a long time.
Dark Guards.
As the name implied, they were people who lived in the dark all their lives and guarded others.
They belonged to the dark. They couldn't see the light. They were like shadows. They could only exist in the dark forever. They were always infinitely close to the sun, but they could never touch the sun.
Jiujiu was the person he needed to protect. She was also the sun that he could never touch. What he had to do was to become a shadow and guard Jiujiu forever.
Twelve understood that Jiujiu didn't want to find a husband. He could also know from Jiujiu's words and deeds that Jiujiu wanted to be with him.
Twelve also told himself more than once that if Jiujiu asked him, he would say yes to Jiujiu. After all, there was only one such opportunity.
However, because he liked her, he was timid. Because he liked her, he was cowardly.
God knew that this was the first time that Twelve, who had always killed people without batting an eyelid, hesitated when it came to love.
Because he liked Jiujiu so much, he understood what it meant to make Jiujiu happy. If Jiujiu was unhappy because of his happiness, Twelve wouldn't be willing.
Because he liked her so much, he didn't want Jiujiu to force him. And he couldn't possess Jiujiu like this. He was afraid that if Jiujiu met the man she liked in the future, what would happen if she regretted it?
Twelve wasn't afraid of anything. He was afraid that if Jiujiu regretted it, he would be in real pain.
Moreover, he was ugly and speechless. He didn't deserve the beautiful and noble Jiujiu.
Jun Jin, on the other hand, was from a large family. He was handsome and liked Jiujiu. No matter if it was in terms of status or appearance, he was a match for Jiujiu. Moreover, when he thought of what the Empress had asked him last time, Twelve couldn't help but lower his eyes.
Even the Empress and the Imperial Husband liked Jun Jin. Then he really didn't have a chance.
Hearing Twelve say that Jun Jin liked her, Jiujiu was stunned. When she came back to her senses, her mouth began to twitch violently: "Impossible, how could he like me?"
Even if he liked her, it was just a facade to get the border defense map.
Seeing that Jiujiu didn't believe him, Twelve could only sigh and didn't continue.
Because of Jun Jin's interruption, even if Jiujiu tried her best to talk about lighthearted topics, Twelve's face was still gloomy. His beautiful lips were pressed into a straight line. He was extremely serious.
After dinner, the two returned to the residence.
When they reached the door of the study, they heard the Empress's hearty laughter, then a man's low and shy smile.
Why did the Empress come to her study?
Jiujiu frowned and pushed open the door in confusion. When she saw the people inside, she was a little stunned.
Not only was the Empress in the study, but Jun Jin was also in the study?
Now Jun Jin's face was no longer teary, and there was a reserved smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. Seeing Jiujiu look over, he quickly got up and bowed: "Jun Jin greets the Third Princess."
Jun Jin's expression was as usual, and his actions were elegant and generous. It was as if the one who lost his composure in front of Jiujiu wasn't him.
Jiujiu frowned and asked bluntly: "Why are you here?"
Hearing Jiujiu's blunt question, Jun Jin's delicate little face paled. Looking at Jiujiu's eyes, there was a bit of timidity.
Seeing Jun Jin's face suddenly turn pale, the Empress's expression froze. She shielded Jun Jin behind her and glared at Jiujiu, saying, "I was the one who asked Jin 'er to come over."
The Empress looked at Jiujiu and sighed. "If Jin 'er didn't tell me, would you still hide it from me?"
"Hide what from you?" Jiujiu looked at the Empress in confusion.
The Empress turned her head slightly and looked past Jiujiu to see Twelve standing behind Jiujiu. Her brow furrowed, and her heart was full of displeasure.
The reason why Twelve was assigned to protect Jiujiu was not only because he was the most outstanding of the Shadow Guards, but also because he was the ugliest of the Shadow Guards. Because of his ugliness, he didn't have any other thoughts. Because of his ugliness, he didn't have the opportunity to be in love. Because of this, he was able to protect Jiujiu wholeheartedly.
