Christopher Yard gazed at Luna Sears, her face still tinged with sadness, without hesitation. He led her straight to a barbecue stall. He wondered if someone as noble as Luna Sears had ever eaten from a stall like this. But now Christopher Yard didn't care anymore. If she had eaten it before, she could eat it again, and if she hadn't, she could try it once. After parking the car in a nearby rundown parking lot, Christopher Yard guided Luna Sears to a barbecue stall. He gently pressed her jade shoulder and motioned for her to sit down. "I'll treat you to some barbecue. After all, you're not in a good mood, right?" Christopher Yard sat down as well, a smile on his face as he looked at Luna Sears, who appeared surprised. Luna Sears forced a bitter smile. With her previous background, she had indeed never eaten barbecue like this. However, she had tried it once when she was a child, but never again since then. After all, she now owned The Serenade, where there was nothing but delicious food, all made by top chefs using top-quality ingredients. How could she remember the barbecue from a roadside stall?Unexpectedly, Christopher Yard brought her here to eat today. Afterward, Christopher Yard surveyed the various items nearby and ordered some meat and seafood. Luna Sears didn't know what she liked to eat, so Christopher Yard also ordered some vegetables for her. Luna Sears smiled faintly. It had been a long time since she had eaten this kind of food. Since she was here, she might as well give it a try. It would probably be very good. Once the barbecue was cooked, Christopher Yard handed Luna Sears a chicken wing. As Christopher Yard watched Luna Sears take a bite of the chicken wing with her cherry-like lips, he felt a sense of enjoyment. The usually noble and glamorous Goddess Su was now savoring a chicken wing at a barbecue stall. It was probably hard for many people to believe such a thing. While they enjoyed their meal, Christopher Yard suddenly felt a sense of danger, his body tensing up and his heart racing. Christopher Yard's face changed drastically, and thoughts quickly raced through his mind. "Use a simplified version of the defense charm!"As soon as Christopher Yard finished these words in his mind, he felt something else merging into his body, making him feel a bit strange. At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in Christopher Yard's mind: "Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully using the simplified version of the defense charm." "Whoosh!" Instinctively, Christopher Yard lunged forward and immediately embraced Luna Sears beside him. Then, a gunshot rang out from behind Christopher Yard, the sound echoing around the barbecue stall. The bullet flew like an arrow, creating a collision sound in the air before hitting Christopher Yard. However, because Christopher Yard had used the simplified version of the defense charm, he remained unharmed. In that moment, Christopher Yard held Luna Sears tightly, his body coming into contact with her ample chest, and he caught a whiff of her fragrance, causing a stir in his lower body. Both of them stared intently at each other, Luna Sears' face filled with astonishment, a faint blush appearing on her delicate face, causing Christopher Yard to involuntarily swallow his saliva.Luna Sears was instinctively held by Christopher Yard and hadn't reacted yet. At this moment, as if wanting to say something, she suddenly realized it and her cherry-like lips slightly parted as she hurriedly said: "Are you okay?" Christopher Yard shook his head, indicating that he was fine. "Help, someone's shooting!" The barbecue stall owners around them all fled, wishing they had two more legs. However, the assailants seemed to be specifically targeting Christopher Yard, paying no attention to the fleeing people. Guns were immediately aimed at him. "Bang! Whoosh!" "Bang! Whoosh!" "Bang! Whoosh!" The bullets fired by these criminals rained down like drops from the sky, densely shooting towards Christopher Yard. Under normal circumstances, Christopher Yard would have already been killed.However, Christopher Yard could protect his own body, but he couldn't guarantee that Luna Sears wouldn't be harmed. At most, he could only shield her vital parts. "Put your hands in front of my chest, and your legs under mine. Don't move!" Christopher Yard tightly protected Luna Sears and issued a commanding statement, causing Luna Sears' delicate body to tremble. In her watery eyes, a layer of mist suddenly appeared, which then condensed into tears and fell from her cheek. "Why are you so foolish? Why are you so foolish?" Luna Sears' tears flowed like a flood, continuously streaming down her face. Her delicate hands pounded Christopher Yard's chest, causing him to cough involuntarily. Of course, the coughing was not due to pain, but rather because Luna Sears' playful punches, like a cat scratching an itch, made Christopher Yard's physical reaction more evident, forcing him to cough. He didn't know how to explain to Luna Sears. These thugs had nothing to do with Morton Goodman or the Gu family. Their purpose was solely for themselves. All he was doing now was protecting Luna Sears beneath him. Even if these people weren't after him, Christopher Yard would still do the same, shielding Luna Sears with his body. He didn't think it was an act of heroism; he simply believed that a man should protect a woman like this. But Luna Sears thought Christopher Yard was seriously injured. She didn't know why, but she cupped his face and kissed his lips directly. Damn it, Madam Sparks, you still have the audacity to kiss? Under normal circumstances, Christopher Yard wouldn't mind such an intimate moment with Luna Sears, but now, her hands were at risk of getting hurt. He gently removed her hands from his face. However, to Christopher Yard's despair, Luna Sears stubbornly placed her delicate hands back on his face. And then, his worst fear finally came true. A bullet suddenly pierced Luna Sears' jade arm, and blood immediately flowed from the wound. But even so, Luna Sears didn't release her hold on Christopher Yard's face. "Ah!" Christopher Yard let out a heart-wrenching scream. He felt that if this continued, Luna Sears would truly be seriously injured.
