After having a day of fun, Ye Erruo went to bed early with her man.
âBoss Tang, Young Master Mo will be leaving tomorrow.â One of his workers reported to his boss shortly thereafter.
The man stood and looked at the girl in front of him, not knowing what to do with her.
âBoss, this is the activity log of Young Master Mo. It records what he did today.â
After thinking it through for the next hour, Boss Tang finally let out a sigh. He decided he wasnât going to touch Ye Erruo after all.
Based on the log, he could see how much Young Master Mo doted on his woman. Besides, the young man would be leaving tomorrow, which caught him unprepared. If he were to do anything rash tonight, he might end up biting off more than he could chew.
âAlright then. Bring this girl and the other three to Orffa. Tell him that, other than Young Master Mo and his woman, I can get him anyone he wants.â
âUnderstood, boss.â
âBoss?â Lin Ruo was taken aback. What is happening? Arenât I supposed to see Young Master Mo? Why am I going to a man called Orffa instead?
âTake her away.â
His two bodyguards walked over and took the girl away forcefully.
...
When Ye Erruo got home, she was informed by Bo Yu that Mo Jiangye had to return to work immediately because the couple of suspects who had smuggled contraband into Country U had finally been caught. This was why she was left alone at the Zhuang Ge Residence after the trip.
That night, she received an invitation from Old Master Lin.
Why is Grandpa looking for me out of the blue? Could this have something to do with Lin Jingxuanâs death?
The next day, she arrived at the Lin Residence, only to see the place getting done up. Servants were looking cheerful while they were busy doing chores.
âI see that youâve arrived, Young Madam.â Old Master Linâs butler came and greeted her personally before leading her to the grand hall.
âOh, are we having guests today?â
âYes, Young Madam. Old Masterâs good friend and his granddaughter are here for a visit.â
âMaster, Young Madam is here.â
âCome, Xiao Ruo. Take a seat. Why isnât Xiao Ye with you today?â Old Master Lin was a tad disappointed when he didnât see his favorite grandson.
âJiangye has to attend to some urgent business so he couldnât come today, Grandpa.â
âI see, I see. Come, take a seat. Let me introduce you. This is Old Master Su, who is my confidante. The lady beside him is his granddaughter, Qing Ning. Sheâs the same age as you. She used to be Xiao Yeâs playmate when they were little.â
Su Qing Ning was sitting in a dignified way next to the elders like any lady with a decent upbringing.
âQing Ning, this is Jiangyeâs wife. Her name is Xiao Ruo.â
âHow do you do, sister-in-law?â Qing Ning addressed the lady with a gentle smile.
âIâm good, thank you. Hope youâre good too.â
Grandpa Su sized up the lady who had snatched his grandson-in-law away from him right under his nose.
âSo this is Ye Erruo?â
âThatâs right, pal.â
âWasnât she Jingxuanâs girlfriend? How did she end up being Xiao Yeâs wife instead? Are they married yet? Why didnât Xiao Ye invite me to his wedding?â
âWe arenât married yet,â Ye Erruo answered.
âThe two of you arenât married yet? Thatâs good news!â As the old man exclaimed, he patted his granddaughterâs hand in consolation.
âGrandpa!â
âWhy, whatâs wrong? Donât take me wrong. I was trying to tell the couple to invite me to their wedding! Iâve known Jiangye ever since he was small, so how can I possibly miss the most important affair of his life?â He then turned to Ye Erruo and added, âMy granddaughter here has known Jiangye since they were little. I watched them grow up together! She loved to stick by his side in the past and refused to come home. Grandpa Lin doted on her as well and kept her with him for a whole month at a time!â
âOh, yes, I remember that! Qing Ning used to follow Xiao Ye everywhere when they were very little. When she was here for the whole month, she wanted to sleep with him every night!â
âGrandpa!â The girl in question cried out petulantly so the two elders would stop teasing her.
âHa ha ha ha! Weâll stop, weâll stop now.â
Ye Erruoâs lips curled into a smile. âYes, my hubby and I have not planned the wedding yet, but we have collected our marriage certificate.â
â...â
