Feeling Yu Longting's gaze, it felt as if it could pierce right through me.
I swallowed hard, silently trying to guess what he wanted me to say, carefully probing, "Was the Su Family in the wrong from the start? Was Granny Wu right? No more killing?"
Since I didn't know the correct answer, I decided to treat it like a multiple-choice question.
However, Yu Longting didn't share any opinion and just indifferently settled me into the back seat of the car.
I suddenly felt like I was experiencing what it's like to be a small eunuch by the emperor's side, truly like being with a tiger.
This guy was too capricious.
I was scared inside and didn't dare to speak freely.
"Yu Longting, I want to prolong my mother's life, but I definitely don't want to ask anything from you. If possible, I would like to use my own," I blurted out, afraid Yu Longting would misunderstand as he did last time, "She's the only family I have left. I can't lose her, could you possibly..."
"Yes," he interrupted before I could finish, softly patting my head as he spoke.
Happiness came so unexpectedly.
My brain froze, and I stared at him for quite some time, "Then... should she also wear the cheongsam?"
"No need, it looks better on you," Yu Longting leaned back casually and said.
I didn't quite catch his meaning for a moment, "Do you mean to say, without wearing the cheongsam, my mother's illness can also be cured?"
Could there really be such good fortune?
Not even having to wear the cheongsam.
Just one word from Yu Longting, and my mom's illness can be cured???
Or is his ability just that amazing?
I nodded, lowering my head, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me."
With the crisp sound of Yu Longting's voice, he gently pressed my head into his embrace.
At first, I was a bit uncomfortable, but as I listened to the slow heartbeat in his chest by my ear.
I gradually relaxed and shared my decision with him in a casual chat, "There's one more thing, my mom and I have decided to move. When the time comes, we'll take that cheongsam with us, so I need to get your approval first."
"Are you going to take me with you?" Yu Longting's voice was exceptionally gentle at that moment.
A bit afraid of his refusal, I stiffly nodded, "Yes, unless you don't want to, we will certainly take you wherever we go."
"Where do you want to move to?" Yu Longting didn't directly answer but slipped his long fingers between mine, holding my hand.
"A place called Spring Wind Town, which Uncle Jiang showed me when he rode me on his motorcycle."
"It's a nice place, different waters nurture different peoples."
"So, I'll take it you agree?"
After a while, Yu Longting asked about Uncle Jiang's home and then sent the young Taoist to take Uncle Jiang back first.
He also instructed the young man to remove the Blood Splendor Robe from the unconscious Uncle Jiang.
I said, "Uncle Jiang's injury isn't healed."
Yu Longting gave me a look of 'Your IQ is touching', "Then how do we explain him getting whacked on the head but having no injuries?"
"Oh, right," I said awkwardly.
We got to the Jiang's place and turned Uncle Jiang over to Aunt Jiang.
Uncle Jiang was still unconscious, but out of danger.
His forehead was bandaged by the young Taoist.
The young Taoist went to explain, "I saw Miss Su and Mr. Jiang injured by a group of robbers on the road, so I took them to the hospital. I'm having the motorcycle repaired here, and this is the address."
When we reached my home,
Yu Longting carried me straight to the bedroom. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
"You've been escorting me all this way, you're not just waiting for this, are you?" I watched him enter without disturbing my mom, as if he owned the place, even closing the bedroom door behind us.
I guessed what was going to happen next...
