Chapter 197: Protect Her Once
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Yuan had already said it. There was no way to regret it now.
He could only bring them home. Fortunately, there were more rooms at home. He Yuan chased He Wenda out and vacated his own room. He and Zhou Yu went to the storeroom at home to make do. It was barely enough.
He Wenda, who had been chased out, had an unhappy expression on his face. He muttered, “You invited someone back yourself, but you chased me out. If you don’t have the ability, don’t take up the job.”
He Yuan kicked He Wenda. “Cut the crap and get lost.”
He Wenda hugged his pillow and said, “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll leave, I’ll leave! ”
Fortunately, he had a few good friends in the village. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have anywhere to sleep tonight.
Cheng Yu nodded at He Yuan and said, “Village Chief He, rest early. I’ll go see my boss.”
He Yuan said, “Alright, Doctor Cheng, you should rest early too.”
Inside the room.
Ling Yiran was sitting up on the bed. When he saw someone enter, he looked up.
Cheng Yu quickly walked over. “Boss.”
Ling Yiran nodded slightly and asked, “What exactly is the situation?”
Initially, he had already fallen asleep, but he was woken up by the commotion outside. At first, he thought that the villagers had something to discuss with He Yuan, but as he listened, he felt that something was wrong. The other party’s words seemed to be related to Su Li, so he woke Cheng Yu up and asked him to follow them to take a look. If anything happened, they could help. Cheng Yu hurriedly explained, “Someone died in a nearby village. The last person that person saw today was Madam Su, so the constables went to find her to understand the situation.”
Ling Yiran nodded and reminded, “Alright, I understand. Go to sleep! You don’t have to stay here tonight.”
“Yes!” Cheng Yu retreated.
He was just a doctor and could not be considered Ling Yiran’s confidant at all. It was all thanks to Su Li that he could interact with Ling Yiran this time. He did not know if he would receive a higher pay when he returned.
At the thought that his salary might increase, Cheng Yu felt a little happy. If not for the fact that the time was not right, he would have hummed a little tune now.
After Cheng Yu left, Ling Yiran stared at the window in a daze.
These two days were the most relaxing for him. Everything was so calm that he had forgotten his identity. It was as if those days of deception had never happened.
If only life could continue like this. Thinking of this, Ling Yiran shook his head and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had really asked for too much. There were gains and losses. Indeed, everything in this world was fair.
After a while, Ling Yiran said, “Zuo Nian.”
Other than Ling Yiran, there was no one else in the room. If anyone saw this, they would definitely think that he was crazy.
With a whoosh, the window opened and a dark figure appeared in the room. The black shadow bowed to Ling Yiran. “Master.”
Ling Yiran ordered, “Go investigate what happened tonight and see if there’s anything fishy about it. Also, send someone to protect her safety. If her life isn’t in danger, you don’t have to do anything.” Su Li had saved his life. He would protect her this time!
Zuo Nian replied, “Yes.”
Ling Yiran waved his hand. “You may leave!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black figure disappeared from the room as if he had never been there.
The He Family.
After sending Lu Xiaowei and the others off, He Yufeng quickly closed the door, afraid that those people would turn around and attack.
Su Li stretched lazily and finally sent this group of people away. It was really late at night, and it was not something urgent. Why did they have to come over in the middle of the night?
Su Li said, “Sleep early!”
He Yufeng reached out and grabbed Su Li’s arm. “Why didn’t you tell me about what happened today?”
What was he doing?
In the past, she had never told him. Why was he so concerned this time?
Su Li blinked and said, “You didn’t ask me either!” So you’re blaming me?
He Yufeng repeated his previous words. “If there’s such a thing in the future, you must tell me. Don’t keep it in yourself, especially when you go out. You must call me.”
Although he said that, he thought to himself that the next time Su Li went out, he would definitely follow closely behind her. If anything happened to her, he would not be able to explain it to the children.
Yes, that was it. He wasn’t worried about her. He was afraid that something would happen to her and he wouldn’t be able to explain it to the children. Now that the children were so dependent on her, they definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it without her.
Su Li said nonchalantly, “It’s not that serious. I have something to protect myself. Ordinary people can’t hurt me.”
When He Yufeng saw that she did not take it to heart, he felt a trace of anger in his heart. Did this woman not take her life seriously?
He Yufeng said angrily, “If anything happens to you, what will happen to me…
my children?!”
When Su Li heard his nagging, she pouted and said, “Didn’t you still live well without me in the past?”
He Yufeng was furious. He turned around and returned to the house. Then, he closed the door forcefully as if he was venting his anger.
Su Li stood rooted to the ground and said, “What kind of person is he?! He’s angry over such a small matter.”
Glutinous Ball was swimming in the interspace when it saw Su Li suddenly appear and it choked on a mouthful of water.
Glutinous Ball covered its chest and looked at Su Li in horror. “You, you, you…”
Su Li glanced at him. “You don’t have any flesh on your chest. Why are you afraid that others will look at you?”
Glutinous Ball patted the water hard. “What did you say? Who doesn’t have meat?”
Its body was clearly covered in meat. Why did she say that it didn’t have meat?
Su Li covered her mouth and giggled. “No, no. I’m talking about others, not you. Continue bathing, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Glutinous Ball was no longer interested in bathing. It ran out of the water and hugged Su Li’s leg.
“Why did you come in in the middle of the night? Don’t tell me you quarreled with your husband and couldn’t sleep, so you came in?”
Su Li rolled her eyes at it. “What does a child know? Isn’t it good to take a good shower?”
Glutinous Ball said, “I’m not young. I’m older than you.”
Su Li said, “You’re older than me. Tell me, how old are you?” Glutinous Ball puffed out its chest and said proudly, “I’m 1,000 years old!”
Su Li gave it a thumbs up. “Then you’re really impressive.”
Glutinous Ball said smugly, “Of course.”
Su Li had no energy to spout rubbish with it, so she went straight to the shop to exchange for some seeds. She collected all the things on the black soil and planted all the seeds she had exchanged.
Glutinous Ball was giving instructions blindly like a master at the side.
“You planted too much of this. That thing is so spicy. What’s so good about it?
What a waste of time.” “Aiya, you shouldn’t plant it here. This place doesn’t produce much.”
“No, that’s not right..
Su Li glanced at Glutinous Ball.. “Can you shut your mouth?”
