When he saw a man coming out of Ann's house, Lugo's smile froze on his face in an instant, and his whole person seemed to turn into a statue.

An also had a complicated face. He sighed quietly and held his forehead, not knowing what to say.

"Who is this?..." It was night now, and the light was too poor to see anyone clearly. The man came over with a kerosene lamp. When he saw Lugo clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became frightened, "You.

..Are you Lord Lugo?”

Lugo's face looked ugly now, and his tone was very unfriendly: "Who are you?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, An could only lean towards the man, nodded and introduced to Lugo: "He is Vincent Horton, my fiancé..."

Lugo felt a thunderbolt in his mind, and his mouth was so angry that he could not speak clearly: "Fiancée...husband..."

It was so dark that Vincent didn't notice Lugo's cannibalistic expression. He hugged An's shoulders with love and said with a smile: "An and I met last year and got engaged last month.

We’re getting married in half a month.”

Lugo's clenched teeth kept making chattering sounds, and his sinister eyes were like wolf eyes, staring straight at Vincent. If looks could kill, Vincent would not even have any scum left.

An knew that Lugo had a bad temper, and was afraid that Vincent would be beaten violently later, so she quickly found an excuse to push Vincent back to the house: "You go home and heat the hot water first, and I will send Mr. Lugo to it."

Just like that, Vincent was forced out with a confused look on his face, and was pushed back again with a confused look on his face.

An closed the door, subconsciously pushed her messy hair behind her ears, walked to Lugo with her head lowered, and whispered: "Since you know everything, why don't we just talk..."

"I don't understand." Lugo gritted his teeth and said rather reluctantly, "Am I not good enough to you?"

An whispered: "You are very good to me, but..."

Lugo interrupted: "What does that man do? Noble?"

An shook his head: "Vinson is not a noble, he is a commoner like me, working as a cook in the judge's residence."

Lugo laughed directly after hearing this. He laughed miserably and poked his heart hard and asked: "I am the deputy general of the army, the security captain of the main city directly under the jurisdiction, and the eight-level provincial official. I am not as good as a chef?"

An slowly closed her eyes and said in a sad voice: "This is where we are different... You always like to talk about your background and status, but that's not what I value."

"Okay, okay, okay, let's not talk about our birth status." Lugo took a step forward and asked, "I just want to ask one thing. I am very good to you. Isn't that okay? When you were in the hospital, I I come to visit you after get off work every day, bring you delicious food, and chat with you. When you are bullied by others, I help you teach them a lesson and send you home safely."

"There is still work... Without me, do you think the tavern owner would be kind enough to take you in? I usually don't like that kind of person, but in order to make your work more smooth, I can only talk to him with a smile. I am for you

Having done so many things...I don't understand, could it be that Vincent has done more than me?"

An sighed and said quietly: "I know you are very kind to me, but... Mr. Lugo, you have to know that love cannot be measured by giving and receiving. It does not mean that the more you give, the more you give.

You will definitely receive more rewards.”

"In my opinion, love is the connection between hearts. Only the heartbeat of like-minded people is love, and nothing else."

"Yes, you came to visit me often when I was hospitalized, but the same goes for Vincent - when he came to visit me, he didn't carry a scary black sword on his shoulder, but a white knife in his hand.

Flowers.”

"Every holiday, Vincent would come and give me a gift—not a freshly killed, bloody wolf head, but a doll that would play music when the button was pressed."

"Vinson often brings me food, and he knows very well what I like to eat. He will buy me delicious cheesecake, fresh apples, and sweet rose cakes, instead of spicy roasted rabbit heads."

Speaking of this, An couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You don't even know that I have a nest of cute rabbits at home... Every time I see the roasted rabbit heads you bought, my scalp goes numb..."

Lugo was speechless and his voice weakened: "You never told me these things..."

"Because I dare not..." An looked at Lugo with a faint look in his eyes, and his voice sounded a little sad, "As you said, you are the deputy general of the death squad, the security captain of the main city directly under the jurisdiction, and an eight-level provincial official.

Anything you give me is a gift from above, whether it is good or bad, whether I like it or not, how can I have the courage to refuse?"

Lugo opened and closed his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment, so he could only say softly: "But... Ann, you know I like you..."

An Mo nodded: "I know you like me, I'm not a fool, I can see it. But with all due respect, I will only feel scared when I'm around you... The status gap between you and me is so big that I don't know

I'm at a loss...You, who are in a high position, and I are not from the same world at all."

"You have seen the world and are more knowledgeable than me. When you chat with me, you always talk about the formation of troops in battle, the movement skills when fighting the enemy, the skills and angles of swinging swords... I can't even say a sentence

I can’t answer the call, and I don’t dare to answer it, for fear of saying something wrong and offending you.”

"There is also the matter of beating people... Just like today, I know you hit the drinker to vent my anger, but... this kind of condescending violence scares me. I really don't understand why.

A customer would be beaten like that just for scolding the waiter?"

"Didn't that happen that I spilled the wine and made the mistake first? Even if you want to help me, you can reason with him, why did you just punch and kick him...I saw that the guest was beaten all over because of me.

My face is bloody, I feel really guilty..."

"When I'm with you, I only feel nervous and afraid. I never dare to relax for a moment..."

"Vinson is different. I feel very relaxed when I'm with him. I can laugh when I want, and say what I want. I never have to worry about what I said wrong. I want to be with him all the time. I think

This is what love should be like."

Lugo clenched his fists, trying to save face, and his voice became louder: "At least I am stronger than him, and I can protect you."

"I don't understand, why do you always talk about strength and fight like a beast?" An seemed to be a little anxious, holding her forehead and said quietly, "Yes, Vincent is of course not as strong as you, you are an extraordinary person.

...But he can also protect me. He will stand up when I am teased by hooligans. Even if he cannot defeat those people, he will open his arms to protect me behind him."

"I'm not a warrior fighting on the battlefield. Strength and weakness really don't mean anything to me. So what if I'm strong? So what if I'm weak? What I want is just a sense of security."
