Ye Ling stood still and watched silently for a long ti, knowing that when they t again, they might beco enemies.
As he walked out of the warehouse door, Ye Ling saw Su Rou leaning against a tree nearby, staring intently at the entrance. Seeing him co out, she joyfully rushed over.
"You're finally out. Are you okay?"
Su Rou asked worriedly, circling Ye Ling incessantly, checking him over for injuries by patting him down.
Ye Ling was amused by her actions, it wasn't so much checking for injuries as it was taking advantage of him.
"You, you're such a little tease!"
Although he complained verbally, the sweetness in Ye Ling's heart was genuine.
"I should have made you go straight back after letting you out of the warehouse. What if sothing happened to you while waiting outside?"
Ye Ling tapped Su Rou's nose and said, but he also greatly enjoyed her closeness, and took the initiative to hug her slender waist.
Su Rou said with a smile, "We are safer together on our way back. What if soone kidnaps again on the road?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "There shouldn't be that many people out to kidnap you, right? But this has been a wake-up call, indeed. I should arrange for more people to protect you."
"Okay then, to put your mind at ease, have more people protect from now on! Let's go ho together."
Ye Ling released Su Rou's waist, and as he reached out to touch her hand, she instinctively dodged because of the pain where she had been bound.
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, took her hand, and looked at the striking red marks on it, feeling a pang of heartache.
"That guy! He was so heavy-handed, I should have taught him a lesson just now."
Ye Ling regretted it deeply, having let Lin Jun go too easily. He should have marked him as well.
Seeing Ye Ling's remorseful expression, Su Rou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You can't bla him for this. I didn't know what his purpose was, so I resisted fiercely. He had no choice but to bind , but he is a good person and had no improper intentions toward ."
Since his own wife defended the man like that, it would be petty of Ye Ling to continue holding a grudge.
"You, you are just too kind-hearted. Have you ever considered that this was an unprovoked disaster? If it weren't for , you wouldn't have been kidnapped."
At this point, Ye Ling looked sowhat despondent, knowing that following him, Su Rou would be facing countless dangers in the future.
But as long as he was strong enough, anyone who wanted to harm Su Rou would have to step over his dead body!
Su Rou humd sheepishly, "How can you say that? Since you're the one I've chosen to spend the rest of my life with, your matters are my matters. It's not an unprovoked disaster."
Su Rou firmly clasped Ye Ling's hand, afraid that this incident might lead him to consider keeping his distance from her.
Ye Ling, already deeply moved, couldn't show his vulnerability in front of so many people.
He coughed and looked down, "You're right. We're tied together now."
Ye Ling hailed a taxi and returned to the Su household with Su Rou.
Perhaps due to a lack of rest, Su Rou fell asleep against Ye Ling in the car.
The taxi stopped at the Su residence: "We're here, sir."
Ye Ling erged from the taxi, holding Su Rou in a display of boyfriend prowess while the gatekeeper of the Su house rushed over.
"Oh dear, the young lady has fallen asleep? Mr. Ye, why don't you let us take care of her?"
"No need, just keep your voices low, and let the old master know we've arrived ho safely," Ye Ling said. "I will take Rou'er back to rest first."
Without sparing a single glance, Ye Ling carried Su Rou directly into the main gate.
"Hmm? Very well, as long as they have returned safely, that's good. You three have worked hard, please go rest."
Seeing his granddaughter and Ye Ling return safely, Old Master Su's heart finally settled back into place. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
He felt endless gratitude towards the three individuals Ye Ling had sent to protect him.
Three hours later, estimating that enough ti had passed for them to have rested, Old Master Su couldn't contain his worry and went to Su Rou's room.
At that mont, Ye Ling was by the bedside, watching the exhausted Su Rou sleeping, feeling completely content.
Upon noticing Old Master Su's arrival right away, Ye Ling made sure Su Rou was covered with the duvet before stepping out the door.
"You're here."
In front of Old Master Su, Ye Ling always maintained such a calm and respectful deanor.
Old Master Su nodded in satisfaction, his neck craning to look behind Ye Ling.
"Don't worry! She hasn't suffered any harm, she's only resting because she was frightened."
"That is a relief, that is a relief. We truly owe you a great debt this ti. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do. Just who was it that kidnapped her?"
Ye Ling had no intention of concealing the truth from Old Master Su and honestly recounted the whole story.
The occasional noises from outside eventually woke Su Rou, who opened the door and saw the two n she loved most in the world discussing sothing.
Su Rou walked up and naturally wrapped her arm around Ye Ling's, "Grandfather."
Finally having the ti to sit down and talk, the family discussed future matters, and Ye Ling rembered the purpose of his return.
"I've almost resolved the issues in Jinling and Jiangbei. I'll probably be departing for the imperial capital soon."
Unable to hold back, Su Rou's eyes sparkled as she asked eagerly, "So can I co with you this ti? I really don't want to be apart from you anymore."
Iron-willed as he was, a tough man like Ye Ling couldn't resist his beloved's coquetry before him.
In that mont, Ye Ling almost surrendered, wanting to take Su Rou with him everywhere, no matter what.
But he couldn't, there were still many things he had to consider.
"No, the situation in the imperial capital is even more complex. Until I have completely secured my position there, it could be dangerous for you to go."
The light in Su Rou's eyes visibly dimd, but as always, understanding as she was, she couldn't find words to object, knowing that Ye Ling was thinking from her perspective.
Seeing this, Old Master Su felt it was his duty to lift the spirits and tapped his walking stick.
"Even if this lad agreed to take you, I would never consent."
"You don't even have the ability to protect yourself. If sothing really happened to you there, how could your grandfather keep living?"
Su Rou, always filial, imdiately abandoned the idea upon hearing her grandfather's words.
"Master, so people have co outside. They seem to have heard about the miss's kidnapping and have co to offer their sympathies," the butler stepped forward and uttered this veiled remark, while Old Master Su's face darkened.
