Married at First Sight Chapter 5278

Chu Jiu instructed the driver to change routes.

If the young master didn’t want to fight, then there wouldn’t be any

fighting tonight. Long Tuo’s plan to have assassins lying in wait along Long Ting’s usual route home, waiting to make their move , was futile.

Long Ting took Chu Jiu to his newly purchased villa. It wasn’t as large as his usual estate; although it had a yard, it was quite small.

Back home, Long Ting lay down on the sofa, casually removing his sunglasses and mask, and said comfortably, “It’s still best to be home.”

For someone used to living in a large villa, this small home, which he had personally decorated, felt like his world consisted only of him and Chu Jiu. He didn’t need a large space; a large space felt empty to him.

Chu Jiu silently went into the kitchen to make him a hangover soup.

Long Ting let her prepare it.

Drinking too much had indeed made him feel unwell.

He lay on the sofa, lost in thought. As he thought, his eyelids grew heavy. He closed his eyes, intending to doze off, and eventually fell asleep.

With Chu Jiu by his side, he dared to sleep soundly.

Anyone else might betray him, but Chu Jiu wouldn’t.

Chu Jiu wouldn’t try to take advantage of him or sleep with him like other women.

Long Ting knew Chu Jiu had feelings for him, but she was stubborn, always placing herself in the position of a servant, deeply hiding her love for him,

just like him.

He loved Chu Jiu too, but he carried too much on his shoulders; he didn’t dare take that step forward.

Both loved each other deeply, yet neither spoke of it, neither broke through that barrier, neither took that crucial step.

Chu Jiu finished cooking the hangover soup, brought it out, placed it on the dining table, and then leaned out to say to the person on the sofa, “Young Master, the hangover soup is ready. Come and drink it.”

Long Ting lay motionless on the sofa.Chu Jiu went outside and walked to the sofa, only to find Long Ting asleep.

She wanted to wake him, reached out her hand, then withdrew it, letting him sleep.

He was under a lot of pressure; whenever he left home, his mind was highly focused, too tense. Only at home could he relax.

Chu Jiu sat down on the edge of the sofa, reaching out to touch the mask Long Ting was wearing, but didn’t peel it off.

If she peeled it off, he would have to put on a new one tomorrow, too much trouble.

“Young Master, you’ll get better,”

Chu Jiu said softly.

Only when Long Ting was asleep did she show a little tenderness.

After looking at Long Ting for a moment, Chu Jiu got up and went upstairs.

She brought down a thin blanket for Long Ting and covered him with it, then pushed two single sofas together; she would sleep on the sofa tonight.

Long Ting was asleep; she didn’t have the strength to carry him upstairs.

She could ask her colleagues for help, but even if they came in to help, they would only support the young master upstairs, which would wake him.

Once he was awake, it would be difficult for him to fall back asleep.

Chu Jiu couldn’t bear to part with him.

Long Ting was sleeping soundly, so she let him sleep on the sofa for the night, while she slept with him in the living room. That way

, she could know immediately if anything happened.

That’s what a true bodyguard does.
