Lu Cheng was, in fact, torn.
He owed the Chu Family a debt of gratitude, so he would willingly do anything they asked of him to repay it.
Besides, the Chu Family wasn't one to blur the lines between right and wrong. Even if they did ask something of him, it wouldn't be anything immoral or heinous.
It was just that a family like the Chu Family was, after all, too complicated. Lu Cheng only wanted Shen Nian to live a peaceful life and didn't want her embroiled in the troubles of these so-called powerful families.
It was enough for him to bear these troubles alone.
"You don't want me to get involved? Is there some kind of danger?"
As Shen Nian mulled over Lu Cheng's words, she suddenly looked at him, her face filled with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm not in any danger."
Shen Nian had shot up out of worry, and Lu Cheng gently pulled her back down to her seat, comforting her in a soft voice.
