protection. He would undoubtedly devote himself to safeguarding her.
她一个人在京城举目无亲，只有跟自己一起才安全，在这乱世之中，长得如此美丽的女子未必就是件好事，也只有自己能护她周全，而且自己也一定倾力护她周全。
"Do you love me?" Cui Yu asked as she saw Zhang Guoying holding her so tenderly.
“你喜欢我？”崔玉看到张国英如此温柔地抱着自己便问道。
Zhang Guoying didn''t answer but instead held her even tighter as a response.
张国英没有出声，只是更紧更紧地抱着她以示回应。
However, Cui Yu didn''t want to go to Liangzhou, nor did she intend to. She had received news from her aunt just a few days ago that her return was imminent, and the Cui Clan would soon rise again. She couldn''t leave the capital or abandon her family. Thus, she broke free from his embrace.
可是她崔玉不愿意去凉州，也不想去凉州。她前些天已经收到了姑姑的信息，姑姑马上就要回来了，崔家将要再次东山再起，她不能离开京城，不能离开崔家。
所以她挣脱了他的怀抱。
"In my entire life, having been born and raised in the capital, I have never desired to leave it."
“我这一辈子，生于京城，长于京城，此生都不想离开京城。”
Zhang Guoying lowered his hand, which he intended to tenderly stroke her cheek. He had tried his best, but unfortunately, his beloved was unwilling to join him.
张国英垂下了欲去抚摸她脸蛋的手，他尽力了，可惜佳人却不愿意随之。
