One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

Seeing that her words were not convincing, Chu He said expressionlessly, “I came here, just… to…”

“To what?”

“To sightsee.”

Gu Jinglian was speechless.

Sightsee?

The war was raging, and most of North Africa had fallen into it. And she was saying she was here to…

Sightsee?

Gu Jinglian remarked indifferently, “Stubborn.”

When Chu He heard this, she refused to bother with him. It was only then that she realized that she was in Gu Jinglian’s arms and they were very close to each other. The ambiguity between the two of them sent alarm bells ringing in her head!

“You… don’t have to be holding me in your arms!”

“Oh.” Without another word, Gu Jinglian let go of her. Chu He fell to the ground and her wound was stretched, causing her to frown in pain.

The anxious Linxi immediately rushed over and chided Gu Jinglian, “Hey! Why are you being so ungentlemanly? Big Sister is injured.”

Gu Jinglian said calmly, “She said she didn’t want me to hold her.”

Linxi replied very aptly, “Women never mean what they say! They might say that they don’t want you to hold them, but they might want you to!”

Chu He couldn’t take it anymore. She grimaced and said, “I didn’t say that!”

Linxi pouted and asked worriedly, “Big Sister, are you alright? Does your wound hurt?”

Chu He groaned and said sullenly, “No it doesn’t.”

Gu Jinglian glanced at her casually and pulled her into his arms again. Chu He struggled unnaturally, but Gu Jinglian softened his voice. He patted her back lightly and said in a quiet voice, “Enough, stop talking already.”

Chu He fell silent.

“Don’t worry, go to sleep.” He added, “Have a good sleep and we’ll continue our journey when you wake up.”

She nodded and suddenly asked,. “Where are we going?” She was curious to know. “Where do we go from here? How are we going to leave North Africa?”

“There is a signal base station more than ten miles away from here. My men and I have agreed to meet at the signal tower. Once the signal is restored, we’ll contact the rescue troops stationed in North Africa. Then, we can leave this place.”

Chu He nodded and closed her eyes. She was exhausted, so she fell asleep immediately.

When he heard her soft and steady breathing, Gu Jinglian could not help but curl his lips. He lowered his eyes and gently planted a kiss on her forehead.

How could he not know why Chu He came here?

Even though she was harsh with her words and did not mean what she said, for whom did this woman risk her life and end up injured? However, although she was stubborn and refused to admit it, he was kind enough not to expose her.

Linxi also found a place to lie down. After going through so much, he was extremely tired, so he quickly fell asleep. Gu Jinglian also closed his eyes.

The bomb shelter here was very remote. Furthermore, before he entered the shelter, he had specially planted a land mine at the entrance. If an enemy were to enter, it would definitely trigger the mechanism, giving him plenty of time to react.

Gu Jinglian hugged Chu He tightly and fell asleep. The three of them huddled in the bomb shelter.

When Chu He woke up again, it was already dark outside the cave. Opening her eyes, she saw Gu Jinglian’s head resting lightly on her shoulder. His warm breath brushed against her cheek.. For a moment, she felt as if she was inhaling every breath that he exhaled.
