After Huo Qinglin left, Lin Banxia reached out under the table and tugged at Yan Ting’s suit hem.
Yan Ting was slightly startled and turned his head to look at her. Upon eting the anxious expression in her eyes, he seed to understand what she wanted to say.
In fact, after hearing her story, Yan Ting had also started taking this matter seriously. He certainly didn’t want to suffer harm from anyone.
So, he made his request: "Grandpa, I’d like to hand over this task in Country Y to Uncle. I just got engaged to Banxia and want to take a few days to spend more ti with her. Besides, she’s been experiencing so rather severe symptoms lately!"
The elderly master was stunned for a mont, and the elderly lady imdiately spoke up to assist.
"That’s right, Banxia is ho alone every day, and that’s not good for the child either. You keep assigning such heavy workloads to Yan Ting all the ti; I really can’t stand it anymore. How about letting Tianfeng take his place on this business trip and allowing the young couple so ti to enjoy their love together?"
The elderly master thought the elderly lady’s words made sense and nodded: "Fine then, Tianfeng, what do you think?"
Huo Tianfeng’s expression was tense, but he couldn’t let his inner anger show.
He was actually deeply shocked, because the assassin he arranged this ti was already prepared to assassinate Yan Ting in Country Y.
Yet now Yan Ting was pushing the task onto him—did he sense sothing?
Yan Ting’s sharp gaze swept over Huo Tianfeng’s face, and seeing his strange expression, Yan Ting sneered inwardly. It seed that Huo Tianfeng truly had sothing to hide.
"Tianfeng..." The elderly lady also looked toward her son. Seeing him remain silent, she quickly added, "Please help Yan Ting. As his uncle, you should understand the joy he’s feeling right now."
Huo Tianfeng hurriedly composed himself and replied with a smile, "Dad, Mom, you really do pamper Yan Ting, but as his uncle, I should express so support, right? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this trip for him."
The elderly master nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, then Yan Ting, take these next few days to spend so good ti with Banxia. I know you’ve always been busy and rarely get the chance to be with her properly. She’s been through a lot."
Lin Banxia imdiately smiled with joy and gratitude: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, for making this happen!"
She was genuinely ecstatic—because thanks to this, Yan Ting wouldn’t need to leave and could avoid this danger.
After finishing breakfast and leaving the elderly lady’s mansion, Yan Ting held Lin Banxia’s hand as they strolled back slowly.
"Banxia, it seems your worries weren’t unfounded. Who knows? My uncle might have already set up a deadly surprise for in Country Y!" Yan Ting sighed lightly, though his gaze remained sharp and fierce.
Lin Banxia froze for a mont and looked at him, asking, "How did you figure it out?"
"I know my uncle well enough. After hearing Grandpa’s words earlier, his obvious nervousness gave him away. From that, it’s clear he’s upset that I disrupted his plans by not going to Country Y."
Lin Banxia said angrily, "Your uncle is nothing but a smiling tiger. He always has that gentle smile, giving people a pleasant impression. If it weren’t for knowing about his past wrongdoings in my previous life, even I might’ve been tricked by his facade."
"Indeed. If it weren’t for my car accident back then, I wouldn’t have known how deeply my uncle resents ," Yan Ting said, recalling the accident in his youth. If Lin Banxia’s grandfather hadn’t saved him, he likely wouldn’t have survived.
Lin Banxia reached out and tightly clutched his arm, her face pressed close as she worriedly said, "Yan Ting, promise , you must be even more careful in the future. You absolutely can’t let anything happen—I can’t let our child grow up without you!"
Yan Ting pulled her into his embrace and gently reassured her, "Don’t worry, I’ll tread carefully with every step."
