So Ruan Zeyan had rushed all the way here, kicking up dust his entire journey, just to ask why Ling Tianya had turned her phone off yesterday!

Ling Tianya didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “I slept with Granny yesterday. She’s old and wakes at the slightest disturbance, so I turned off my phone.”

It was a reasonable explanation, and it dissipated what had been Ruan Zeyan’s torment for the entire night.

His brows smoothed out before crumpling together again. “Why don’t you sleep by yourself?”

Ling Tianya remained silent.

Was this man jealous of... Her granny?

“Ruan... Ruan...” Kui gaped at Ruan Zeyan. Damn it, he certainly did invite the devil to his door.

Kui slumped on the floor, wanting to beg for mercy, but fear had formed a lump in his throat that kept him from speaking.

“Du Gang, I’ll leave it to you to take care of them.” Ruan Zeyan coldly left this piece of instruction before leaving the cafeteria with Ling Tianya’s hand in his.

Yu Luoluo’s eyes were wide. She chased after them excitedly.

“Got it!” Du Gang gave a small nod of acknowledgement to Ruan Zeyan. “What do we do with Small Guy?”

“Follow the rules.”

Ruan Zeyan’s voice pierced Small Guy’s ears with a sharp chill. If that was so, then he would definitely be dead...

“Wait.” It was a woman’s crisp voice that spoke up. Ling Tianya looked over at Ruan Zeyan, her eyes gentle. “I was the one that sent Small Guy out on an errand. You arranged for the two of them to be with me, and they did not dare go against my orders, so you can’t blame what happened today with Small Guy.”

Small Guy was puzzled, his emotions in a mess. Was this woman actually trying to get him out of trouble?

Big Guy started to get excited at Ling Tianya’s words, casting her a grateful look. There was nothing more important right now than Miss Ling’s words.

“I like working with the two of them. If you change them, I’d have to get used to new people.” Ling Tianya smiled sweetly, her words like the warmth of the sun on a cold winter’s day.

The secret team leader cast her a confused look. According to his observations, that wasn’t what had happened. Small Guy had left on his own, so why Ling Tianya claim that she had sent him out on an errand?

Ling Tianya sent the leader a warning look, seeing his confused face. The leader pressed his lips together, not saying anything about it.

Big Guy and Small Guy both came from this team. They had spent so much time together training and going on missions. Even though the rules were set clearly, he would still wish for Small Guy to live on. He was still a loyal man to the boss after all.

Ruan Zeyan took their small actions into account. He knew that Ling Tianya was just covering for Small Guy. He was silent for some time before finally opening his mouth, “Okay, if you say so.”

Small Guy couldn’t be more surprised. Just because the words from Ling Tianya, he was yanked back from the edge of death. He couldn’t really process what he was feeling, all of his emotions jumbled together in his heart.

“You’re so nice to me!” Ling Tianya smiled demurely, going on her tiptoes to kiss Ruan Zeyan on the cheek.

The man’s deep eyes rippled continuously with emotions, which would not dissipate for a long, long time.

Big Guy’s eyes were red as he bowed at Ling Tianya in gratitude. If his protection for her was out of duty previously, then from this moment on, he would be loyal to this woman from the bottom of her heart. Now, he was willing to do anything possible to protect her.

Because, she has protected his only kin left in this world.

Sigh...

Not too far away, Du Gang let out a quiet sigh. This was clearly his boss’ trap. His boss definitely knew that Miss Ling would definitely plea for Small Guy’s life. This way, not only would Small Guy reflect on himself, but it would make Big One fully loyal to Ms Ling.

Besides, this way, he could take a small advantage of Miss Ling and sneak a kiss out of her.
