Chapter 1578: Because I Like You
Clutching the coat that had a mild scent to it, Luo Qianqian closed her eyes obediently, trying not to see anything around her.
But because of his arrival, she suddenly felt that she was rescued from the endless purgatory.
She could not see what was going on around her, but she could hear someone screaming in pain and smell the blood.
Gu Yun Che did not allow her to open her eyes, and she did not dare to open her eyes either. She was holding the clothes tightly as if she were holding onto a rope that could save her life.
After a long while, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Then some footsteps approached her.
But this time, she was not scared. Her instinct told her that it was someone she trusted.
Gu Yun Che picked up the girl who was sitting against the wall, walked out of the dirty and dark hut and walked towards the car parked outside.
Then he put her down, held her with one hand and opened the door with the other, helped her into the car and went to the driver’s seat.
As the night fell, he drove away from the nightmare-like village.

On the way home, Luo Qianqian gripped her clothes tightly and looked straight ahead, feeling a bit scared.
She just could not imagine what would have happened to her if he had not shown up.
Gu Yun Che drove with a pale face and said after a long while, “Why didn’t you tell me that you are here?”
If he had not picked up the doll at the Temple of Shiva, and if the monk had not told him that she had been here.
Then he would have no idea of her arrival or what had happened to her.
It would have been too late if he had been a few minutes late.
“If I did, would you still have let me come?” Luo Qianqian asked with a hoarse voice.
He did not like meeting her often, and she came here in secret, fearing that he would turn her down.
“No,” Gu Yun Che said.
If she had wanted to come here, he would have turned her down.
India was so chaotic and girls were not safe here, yet she did not care about that at all.
Luo Qianqian thought that he meant that he did not want to see her, so she started to tear up.
“Alright, I deserve it, I brought it upon myself…”
“Qianqian!” Gu Yun Che braked hard and looked at the girl who was breaking down. “I mean, I wouldn’t let you come to such a dangerous place.”
But when she thought of what happened today, Luo Qianqian just could not stop crying.
She had wanted to show up in front of him happily and spend a simple and warm birthday with him.
But unexpectedly, she almost lost her life here.
But the moment he appeared in front of her, she did not regret a thing.
Even if she had experienced something terrible, she never regretted coming here because of him.
Just like how she had never regretted falling for him.
Gu Yun Che frowned and asked her thoughtfully, “Why are you here?”
Wasn’t she having fun with that young man back at home?
That was why she did not reply to his texts or answer his calls.
But today, she suddenly appeared in Bangalore, as if waiting for him to show up.
Luo Qianqian looked at this man who she had been waiting for, for one day and one night. She said without hesitation, probably because she had just survived a disaster, “Because it is my birthday and I wanted to spend it with you. Because I like you, and I can’t help but want to see you. But I am also worried that you don’t want to see me, so I came to you on the sly and hid myself away from you…”
