"Great! You said it, kid. Dapao, let's go..."
"Where are we going?" Shangguan Dapao asked cluelessly.
"To find Ye Batian. Are you intentionally trying to irritate me?" Murong Lan glared at Shangguan Dapao.
"Oh! Then let's go, no need to yell!" Shangguan Dapao, feeling embarrassed, shouted in response.
"Haha, Uncle and Aunt, don't argue, I'll call someone to see you out." Lin Tian escorted them to the gate of the estate and instructed Li Fu to take them to the Ye Family.
When Lin Tian returned to the hall, Yan Shuiyue leaned forward and asked, "Tian, do I really look younger?"
"Hmm! You do look younger. I'm curious about what made you look so much younger, and have you looked closely at your daughter's face? Wasn't it flawless before, but is it as perfect as it is now? It wasn't, right?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.
"You didn't mention it, but now that you do, I really had overlooked that. I thought she's just growing prettier over time, but it doesn't seem to be the case! Could it be..."
"Yes! It must be that kid has some special method, which is why our daughter looks so elegant and beautiful." Lin Tian nodded in agreement.
"Well..." Yan Shuiyue looked bashfully at Lin Tian, hesitating to speak...
"Haha, alright then, I'll remind that kid later to see if he has a way. If there's none, let's not bring it up again to avoid unsettling the family harmony." Lin Tian laughed.
"Okay!" Yan Shuiyue felt a surge of anticipation.
Meanwhile, in Lin Ruyu's room on the second-floor pavilion, Shangguan Longyi looked at Lin Ruyu incredulously, her eyes wide open, covering her delicate lips with both hands...
Lin Ruyu smiled slightly and tapped Shangguan Longyi's forehead with a finger, laughing, "Long Yi, you've been staring at me since you arrived. Have you fallen for me?"
Hearing Lin Ruyu's words, Shangguan Longyi said enviously, "Yuyu, if I were a man, I'd definitely pursue you, regardless of having thousands of rivals. I would hold you tightly; you're absolutely stunning. Can you tell me how you did it?"
Shangguan Longyi's gaze never left Lin Ruyu's face, wishing her parents had made her as beautiful as Lin Ruyu.
"Why say that?" Receiving such praise from a beautiful woman made Lin Ruyu blush, but she felt more joy than embarrassment.
"Because you're so beautiful, I doubt you've ever looked at yourself in the mirror, or you'd be astounded!" Shangguan Longyi reached towards Lin Ruyu's face...
At that moment, Ye Hao arrived at the door and asked, "The estate is so big, where's the restroom? I'm dying here."
"There's one on the left side of the pavilion." Hearing Ye Hao's words, Lin Ruyu burst out laughing, unable to suppress the urge to laugh heartily as he stood there awkwardly.
Ye Hao immediately dashed out upon hearing this.
"What did you just say?" Lin Ruyu turned to Shangguan Longyi and asked.
"I said you're beautiful, stunning. How do you do it? Can you teach me?" Shangguan Longyi pulled Lin Ruyu's hand down to sit and asked.
Feeling the smooth, delicate skin of Lin Ruyu's hand, she couldn't help but ask, "Even your hands are so soft. Tell me your secret? If not, I'll be upset as your older sister."
Shangguan Longyi was envious! Looking at Lin Ruyu's body, she wished it were hers.
"Hehe! Don't be like that, I honestly don't know why I've become like this. Remember that little girl Qingqing? She's the same as me." Lin Ruyu felt a little proud, but she hadn't forgotten Ye Hao's advice to keep the Cold and Hot Ice Marrow a secret when possible.
"No way? Both you and that little girl have become so stunning? How is that even fair! I want to join you, I want to become more beautiful too." Shangguan Longyi exclaimed loudly.
"It's useless following me! I really don't know how I turned out this way." Lin Ruyu shook her head and expressed her helplessness.
"Hmph! Yuyu, you definitely know, did someone tell you to keep quiet? It must be Ye Hao, right?" Shangguan Longyi huffed.
"You know Hao?" Lin Ruyu blurted out, calling Hao intimately.
"Of course, I know! He's now Ye Batian's eldest grandson at the Ye Family. Bullying him is like bullying the Ye Family. Many people know his name. But even more want to make trouble for him."
"Why?" Lin Ruyu asked worriedly, knowing how wild the rich kids in Yanjing were. She naturally didn't want Ye Hao tangled up with them.
"Because he's so arrogant." Shangguan Longyi thought of her brother Shangguan Longyi, who could barely walk now, and gritted her teeth.
"How is he arrogant? I don't know that."
"Isn't he your bodyguard? Why don't you ask him?" Shangguan Longyi assumed Ye Hao was the Lin Family's bodyguard and didn't think much of him, although her grandmother required Ye Hao to become younger.
"He's... he's not a bodyguard. He's considered a young master at my home." Lin Ruyu, although wanting to say boyfriend, decided not to as Ye Hao hadn't pursued her, so she reservedly held back mentioning him as her boyfriend.
"No way? What is his background? He's a young master at your Lin Family too?" Shangguan Longyi stared blankly at Lin Ruyu and asked.
"He's so amazing. My dad said having him as a bodyguard would be a waste, so the Lin Family staff treats him the same as me." Lin Ruyu smiled.
"That makes sense; someone this talented would be treated no differently than us even at my Shangguan Clan as a bodyguard." Shangguan Longyi nodded.
"By the way, you said he's impressive, did he beat someone in Yanjing?" Lin Ruyu remembered Shangguan Longyi mentioning Ye Hao's arrogance and wanted to understand further.
"He broke the limbs of two key members of the Hou Family and broke one of my brother's legs. Isn't that arrogant? He acts so fiercely even without any backing." Shangguan Longyi said displeasedly, thinking her brother was a well-known top-tier family heir in Yanjing!
Then suddenly remembering something, Shangguan Longyi said, "But he really is amazing! He seemed to have led a small group in a battle against hundreds on the highway, killed over forty opponents, and captured more than eighty. The disciplinary committee even captured a large number of officials and complicit merchants in Jian City."
"What?" Lin Ruyu's eyes widened. Ye Hao hadn't told them this!
"Is this true?" Lin Ruyu asked in a trembling voice.
"Didn't he tell you?"
Shangguan Longyi laughed, "Looks like he has feelings for you! Otherwise, why keep it hidden? Probably afraid you'd worry. You're so lucky, Yuyu."
Shangguan Longyi looked at Lin Ruyu jealously, having someone as skilled as Ye Hao by her side, and who liked her, how could she not be envious? (To be continued.
