I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Qu Lianla apologized while pulling Gu Zhaoming's sleeve and trying to hide behind him.

Seeing this, Gu Zhaoming looked behind her.

Seeing a few second-rate people blocking them at the entrance of the alley, he frowned and said, "How dare you tease a decent woman under the emperor's feet!"

"You little brat, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" A leader among the thugs rolled up his sleeves and said in a rough voice.

A gangster-like man next to him echoed, "Brother, this guy dares to snatch our woman, let's teach him a lesson!"

"Yes! Give him a lesson and see if he dares to meddle in other people's business again!" another person echoed.

Gu Zhaoming snorted coldly, "Humph, you dare to hit an official appointed by the imperial court, do you want to be beaten?"

"What? He is an official? What should the boss do?" The second-rate guy on the opposite side exclaimed.

"Bah! Just because he says I'm an official means I'm an official? I'm the Jade Emperor!" The leader spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at Gu Zhaoming.

On this side, Qu Lian saw that these people did not even let go of innocent people, and said to Gu Zhaoming with a guilty look on her face: "Sir, I am really sorry for causing trouble for you. Otherwise, I will hold them back and you can run first!"

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Zhaoming, her eyes as clear as autumn water, and seemed about to cry.

In this situation, any man would not back down.

Gu Zhaoming felt that his pride was no less than that of iron or steel, and he was sure that he could withstand a beating from the other party.

He just soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid, girl. I'm here."

After saying that, he stopped the people behind him and looked at the people opposite with a serious expression.

The leader raised his fist and was about to rush forward, but the younger brother beside him grabbed him back.

"Boss, don't be impulsive! This guy dares to fight against the five of us alone. He must be quite capable, or he is really an official like he said."

When the other man heard this, his eyes widened, he raised his hands and turned around to glare at the younger brother, "What's the matter? Do you look down on your big brother?"

"How dare I! Boss, have you forgotten the last time we were slapped unconscious by someone at the flower market?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boss slapped him in the face.

He beat her and cursed her, "How dare you say that! How dare you say that! How dare you say that!"

That was a shame he would never forget in his life!

"Boss, boss, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!" The younger brother covered his head and begged for mercy.

Several other people came to persuade him.

"Brother, stop fighting. Business is more important!" He winked at the boss.

The boss then stopped and looked at Gu Zhaoming again. "Are you really an official?"

Gu Zhaoming straightened his back unconsciously, "It's genuine!"

The thugs looked at each other, then turned around and ran away.

When Qu Lian saw that the other party finally left, she hurriedly thanked Gu Zhaoming.

"Thank you very much for saving me today!"

"It's just a piece of cake. Where is your home, girl? I'll take you back." Gu Zhaoming put one hand behind his waist, looking relaxed and contented.

Qu Lian's cheeks turned slightly red. She raised her head slightly and looked secretly at Gu Zhaoming.

At this glance, her shy eyes met Gu Zhaoming's deep pupils. She turned away her eyes in panic and said with a blushing face, "Thank you very much, sir. I live in Lihua Lane. My surname is Qu. Do you remember it?"

Qu Lian was sold to the Hong Kong Coliseum at the age of eight. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was raised like a skinny horse by the brothel owner.

Those methods of seducing and controlling men are so easy to do, as simple as eating.

In fact, when Qu Lian first heard the young lady asking her to seduce a man, she was quite happy.

After all, she doesn't know anything else except this!

If she were asked to do something else, she would have a terrible headache!

If she had been sent to a normal person during this trip to Beijing, Qu Lian would not have risked running away.

After all, she has such means, no matter which man she depends on, her life will never be bad.

But that person is a murderer.

This skinny horse’s life is also a life!

Qu Lian didn't want to wait for death, so she took a gamble, and fortunately she won.

How could Gu Zhaoming, a poor boy, have ever seen such methods?

He was walking with his feet, but his mind was full of the other person's every frown and smile. That face gradually overlapped with the one he had in his dreams at midnight.

"I... remember, my surname is Gu, my given name is Zhaoming. If you have any problems in the future, just come to Ma Ti Lane in the east of the city to find me."

Qu Lian'er shook her head, a little disappointed and reluctant, and said: "It is a blessing for me to meet you once in my life. How dare I disturb you."

When Gu Zhaoming heard that she would not come to see him again, he felt inexplicably unhappy. He looked at her beautiful profile and made a decision in his heart.

Chen Yuan went back to her parents' home a few days ago, and now Liu is the only one left at home.

The concubine given by the Wu family was sold by Chen Yuan on the same day.

The doctor said that Chen Yuan would never be able to have children in this lifetime, so he took a concubine to carry on the family line. Even if it went against the grain, he would be right.

The Chen family had nothing to say.

Moreover, this Miss Qu not only has her appearance in his heart, but most importantly, she is a good citizen. Once she becomes his concubine, she is not someone that Chen Yuan can sell off at will.

As Gu Zhaoming walked, he was thinking about how to get the person back.

Qu Lian was a shy girl, so she would never take the initiative to talk to Gu Zhaoming again.

The two were silent for a while.

After Gu Zhaoming made up his mind, he did not immediately express his feelings to Qu Lian.

Firstly, he wanted to confirm whether the other party's situation was true.

Secondly, they had just met, and if he brought it up now, it would only make him seem like a sex-hungry ghost.

Lihua Lane was soon approaching.

Qu Lian did not invite Gu Zhaoming into the house. She just smiled and waved to Gu Zhaoming before entering the door and then went in.

Gu Zhaoming took note of Qu Lian's family.

After Gu Zhaoming returned, he asked his servant to go to Lihua Lane to find out some information about Qu Lian.

Gu Zhaoming learned that there were many unmarried men in that area who were interested in Qu Lian, and some had even come to propose marriage. He couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.

He also became more active in going to the bookstores in the south of the city.

After work on weekdays, I would go directly to the south of the city to eat, read, and meet Qu Lian by chance.

Sometimes he would buy some small things for Qu Lian.

It has to be said that Qu Lian is a resourceful person. After only meeting her three times, Gu Zhaoming had completely forgotten about his wife whom he had married in a formal ceremony.

In less than a month, Gu Zhaoming expressed his desire to marry Qu Lian.

Before entering Grandma Zhang's house, Qu Lian heard Wang Qing and Shen Rong talk about the Gu family and Gu Zhaoming.

When she heard Gu Zhaoming say he wanted to marry her, she thought she had misheard.

"What did you say?" Qu Lian looked at Gu Zhaoming in disbelief.

This man was clearly already married, yet he told her he wanted to marry her. What did he mean by that?

Gu Zhaoming felt a little guilty when he saw those straightforward eyes.

"I know, you don't believe me when I say this." Gu Zhaoming smiled bitterly and continued, "I want to marry you and let you enter my house with your dowry and betrothal gifts.

But, you know, I am where I am today thanks to the support of the Yue family.

But in my heart, you are the only one I want to marry."

"But you already have a wife." Qu Lian said aggrievedly.

Fortunately, she was prepared to be a concubine.

"If you are willing to marry me, I will give you all those. You are my concubine in name only. But don't worry, you are more important to me than her." Gu Zhaoming assured again.
