Zhi Wan was at a loss for words.
She hadn't expected her cousin to reject her so bluntly.
Seeing the unfeeling expression on his cold, handsome face, she secretly pouted. 'Her cousin certainly wasn't like this in her cabin yesterday.'
'He changes his tune so quickly.'
Zhi Wan grumbled inwardly.
She wrung the handkerchief in her hands and finally offered a compromise. "Then please let him go, cousin."
"This man's origins are unknown. He snuck aboard suddenly. What if he's an assassin?" Lu Zhan said flatly.
Zhi Wan quickly explained, "Guo Yong is not an assassin. Zhao Dong hired him to protect me."
"Protect you? With his skills?" Lu Zhan scoffed.
Zhi Wan: "..."
'Why did I hear a hint of contempt in my cousin's tone?'
While Guo Yong couldn't compare to Chen Jiu, he was still a decent and honest man. 'He must have snuck aboard for my sake.'
"Guo Yong is very strong," Zhi Wan couldn't help but say in his defense.
"Very strong?" Lu Zhan's dark eyes narrowed slightly.
