Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su He sucked in a deep breath before she turned her head around and looked at the bodyguard who had shouted at them. She tried her hardest to maintain her cool on the surface and smiled gently as she asked, “What’s the matter?”

The bodyguard approached Su He and bowed to her. The next moment, he briskly went up to Ye Yan. He sized him up before he said, “Are you new here? Why didn’t you bring along a torchlight when you went to the grove? What if Ms. Su is unable to see the road and falls?”

As the bodyguard was saying this, he took out a small torchlight and handed it over to Ye Yan.

Ye Yan accepted his teachings and took the torchlight from him. He then gratefully bowed to the bodyguard before quickly walking to Su He’s front to lead the way for her.

The bodyguard was stunned when he saw Ye Yan’s action. A hint of puzzlement appeared in his eyes. However, he did not ask anything else.

This was the final stumbling block. Following this, they no longer had many obstacles in the remaining path. Su He came to a halt after she had walked Ye Yan a hundred meters into the grove.

“Walk another five hundred meters and you’ll be out of this grove. When you come across a narrow mountain road, take it all the way down. You’ll be at the bottom of the hill in about 30 minutes. There is a gas station at the bottom of the hill, and I believe you should be able to get a ride there.”

After Su He finished speaking, she gave one last glance at Ye Yan before she said quietly, “That’s all. I have to go back now.”

Right after Su He finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. However, Ye Yan pulled her hand.

Su He was taken off guard. She wanted to pull her hand out of his, only to realize that her strength was insufficient to overcome the man in front of her.

“Mr. Ye, is there anything else?” Su He failed to pull her hand out of his even after she struggled for some time. Her expression turned dark and the tone with which she spoke to Ye Yan became hostile.

Ye Yan’s expression darkened when he saw Su He’s enraged expression. He stared at Su He accusingly and sorrowfully said, “Xiao Qi, you used to call me Big Brother Ye.”

Su He’s entire body shuddered upon hearing Ye Yan’s words. Her small face turned red. Luckily, the grove was dark, and he could not see her expression clearly, much less her reddened face. As such, Su He exhaled a sigh of relief.

Su He remained silent. Ye Yan gave another sigh. He already lost count of how many times he had sighed for the night. “I know it’s not easy for you to treat me the way you used to back in those days. Nevermind, take your time. I’m willing to wait for you.”

“I…” Su He looked up after she heard his words. She was about to say something, but Ye Yan had already pressed his finger against her lips.

“You don’t have to respond right away. I only hope that you could consider it carefully. Give yourself and me a chance. A chance to put your faith in me once more and to trust my love for you. If you’re willing, we have a bright future ahead.”

Su He was stunned as she looked up at the person in front of her. She got stuck with her words which were already at the tip of her tongue.

“It’s already late. Go back and take a rest.” Ye Yan gave a final, profound glance at Su He before he planted a brief kiss on her lips. He stuffed the only torchlight he had into Su He’s hand and smiled as he said, “I hope the next time we meet, you’ll already have an answer and give us a chance to move on with each other.”

Right after he finished speaking, he did not give a chance for Su He to refute him. He turned around and ran into the grove. His shadow overlapped with the shadows of the trees and he disappeared into the grove in just a while.

Su He was rooted to the spot dumbfoundedly. It took her some time before she snapped out of her trance. She instinctively touched her lips while listening to insects’ chirping. Her cheeks grew increasingly red.

By the time she reacted to it, Su He stared in the direction where Ye Yan had vanished, her eyes filled with complications. She subconsciously clenched the torchlight in her hand which Ye Yan had specially saved for her. She felt a tinge of warmth sprouting in her heart.

The late autumn was more or less cooling. As such, Su He did not stay too long in the woods. She switched on the torchlight, turned around, and went back to the villa.

Unbeknownst to the couple who had just parted from each other, two pairs of eyes had been watching each and every one of their moves from the study room located on the third floor by the French window.

“Young Master, shall we have someone to capture the man back?” The old butler stood behind Su Jifeng. He could not help but ask when he saw the man running fast in the grove under the moonlight.”

Su Jifeng did not say anything. He only focused on his younger sister who was slowly walking through the back door with the torchlight in her hand.

Su Jifeng smoothed his creased eyebrows when he saw Su He enter through the main entrance. Only then did he turn around to look at the old butler and asked in a low voice, “What did you say just now?”

The old butler thought to himself. ‘Young Master, does that mean you didn’t hear a single word I said just now?’

“I’m asking if there’s a need to capture the man who sneaked into the Su family’s residence.”

Su Jifeng cast a cool glance at the old butler before he snorted. “What’s the point of taking him back? He’s such a grownup. I don’t want to waste my money to feed him.”

The old butler fell speechless.

“But the fact that an outsider could easily sneak into our residence suggested that the bodyguards at the main entrance are nothing more than decorative items. Send all of them back to Yellowstone to be reshaped. If they make the same mistake again, each of their legs will be severed.”

“Noted.” The old butler wiped away the cold sweat that had formed on his brow discreetly. Yellowstone was a well-known training ground for newcomers. It was notorious for being comparable to hell, to the point where one could barely crawl out of it.

It looked like the batch of bodyguards today were in bad luck.

“Not forgetting, send the bodyguards at the back door to Yellowstone as well. Tell the people from the hall of punishment to give them a good start. They failed to guard the small entrance and even dared to let Xiao Qi run outside to such a dangerous place at night. Can they afford to bear the consequences if anything happens to Xiao Qi and the child inside her womb?”

‘Young Master, have you forgotten that no one knows that Ms. Su is pregnant except for the servants inside the residence?

‘Besides, you are the one who has specifically instructed all of us to keep this a secret. As a result, the bodyguards have no knowledge about this incident at all, and they naturally wouldn’t intervene to stop Ms. Su. Don’t you think you are being a jerk by punishing them with this excuse?!’

Despite making quips to himself, the old butler did not dare to go against Su Jifeng’s instruction. After all, it was a fact that the bodyguards had let Ye Yan go. The bodyguards could only put the blame on their luck and had, unfortunately, run into Ms. Su today.

After paying a visit to Su He at the Su family’s residence and taking Joy on a trip down to the Zhao family on the third day after her wedding, Zhao Youlin did not go elsewhere.

She spent the rest of her vacation as a parasite at home. Meanwhile, Mu Tingfeng took advantage of the opportunity to spend a few days with Zhao Youlin and leave everything to the miserable Mighty Secretary Xia.. He accompanied Zhao Youlin on a daily basis as if he were an ineffective emperor who did not attend his morning court.
