Chapter 355: I Will Protect You

Zheng Peng could never forget the first time he saw Gu Juan.

She was wearing a long white dress, her long hair flowing as she crouched down looking at a pitiful little kitten and then said to him, "Can you help it?"

The girl’s big eyes looked at him filled with hope, and for some reason, he just agreed.

Then the two of them went to get food for the kitten. He even sneaked some milk powder from home to feed it, but later, the kitten died anyway.

The girl cried her heart out.

Zheng Peng comforted her beside, and slowly, the two of them started to connect.

Zheng Peng found that this girl was too kind-hearted.

Sometimes she would carry some candy in her pocket, and if she encountered a crying child on the road, she would give them candy to cheer them up.

He asked why she did this?

She said, don’t you feel happy when you see their smiles?

Zheng Peng felt he had met the right person in his life, so he started to pursue her.

But he was rejected by Gu Juan.

She told him about her family, "My father died when I was young. I grew up with my mother and Grandma. Our family doesn’t have a man, and we have no economic resources."

"You’re different, Zheng Peng," Gu Juan said sadly, "You’re the son of the head of the transformer factory. You should find a girlfriend who matches your social class."

After she rejected him, Gu Juan never sought him out again. When he went to find her, Gu Juan hid and avoided seeing him.

During that time, Zheng Peng didn’t know how he got through it.

But he was also grateful that he didn’t give up; otherwise, he wouldn’t have the joy of being with her today.

Gu Juan was really wonderful.

She thought of everything for him.

But he was a man, and protecting his woman was a matter of course.

Zheng Peng decided that as soon as he went back, he would have a good talk with his buddies about Gu Lingling, right? Anyone who dared to bully his woman should watch out.

Gu Juan sighed, "I actually mentioned you to her today when I went back. If my grandfather can’t help, I wanted to ask you to help her."

"But she... perhaps her misunderstanding of me is too deep. I’m no longer with her father, yet she still won’t forgive me."

When Gu Juan agreed to be Zheng Peng’s girlfriend, she already told him about Wang Meili’s past relationship with Gu Chunhai.

Of course, between the lines, it was clear that a big part of Gu Lingling’s hostility towards her was because she called Gu Chunhai ’Dad.’

So, after hearing this, Zheng Peng was even more angry, "You’re just too kind-hearted."

How lucky he must be to meet such a beautiful, gentle, yet kind-hearted girl?

Zheng Peng felt like he could fly to the sky.

"A misunderstanding is just a misunderstanding." Zheng Peng said, "As long as you have me in the future, you don’t need any so-called father. I’ll protect you."

"Zheng Peng, if one day others say I’m not good, will you despise me?" Gu Juan asked, her eyes red and swollen looking at Zheng Peng.

To be honest, at first, she was indeed attracted by Zheng Peng’s status, but after interacting, she found out this boy, though sometimes a bit dense, was truly unprecedentedly good to people he cared about.

Being with him, Gu Juan felt like a princess being cherished in his palm.

Before, she might have looked down on Zheng Peng’s average looks, but now, she was genuinely a little moved.

Of course, it was just a little.

But no matter how, at the moment, she had to keep this man in her grasp.
