These words may have sounded like flattery, but Su Yingxue said them from the depths of her heart.
Other than Chu Yihan, who else could care about her, protect her, and pamper her to this extent?
When she wanted to sleep, he would give her a pillow. When she needed care, he would immediately appear and hug her. When she encountered any difficulties, he would help her solve them properly, all without hesitation.
Even if someone had the same capabilities as Chu Yihan, they wouldn’t possess his precious affection.
“I will always protect you.”
Su Yingxue had heard this phrase more than once, but every time, it warmed her heart.
She pushed the screen aside and discreetly glanced outside. Chu Yihan had already opened the door, preparing to leave.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, she ran up behind him, hugging him tightly from behind, and stood on her tiptoes to rest her head on Chu Yihan’s shoulder. She whispered, “Your Highness, 1 like you.”
This sentence, like a kitten’s paw, gently scratched Chu Yihan’s heart.
Su Yingxue closed the door, but Chu Yihan lingered, gazing at her silhouette reflected in the window and unwilling to leave.
Over the years, he had encountered countless women, each with their unique beauty and various forms of admiration.
They fawned over him, worshipped him, and admired him, but he remained indifferent. Only Su Yingxue’s declaration of liking him had the power to make his heart stir for a lifetime.
“Su Yingxue, 1 love you.”
One love was enough for a lifetime.
The next morning, just as Su Yingxue entered the account room, Zhilan came in with a joyful expression, “Miss, Lord Liang has arrived, and Marquis is receiving him in the front hall.”
Su Yingxue nodded and said, “You quietly hand over Granny Sun to Liang Jin’s people.”
Zhilan acknowledged the command and left.
Su Yingxue gazed at the sky and called out, “Zi Wei!”
A dark shadow descended soundlessly, not even disturbing a single fallen leaf. The purple hue in his eyes carried a hint of determination, always ready to obey his master’s orders.
Su Yingxue instructed him, “Guard all the doors of the Marquis’s Manor and ensure that none of the residents escape.”
Zi Wei nodded and replied, “Yes!”
He promptly vanished like a gentle breeze, not stirring a single leaf.
Su Yingxue walked leisurely to the front hall. It was evident that her father did not look pleased in the presence of Liang Jin. His expression could even be described as dark.
If given the choice, Su Dingheng’s least desired colleague to encounter would be Liang Jin, especially within his residence.
And it had only been peaceful here for two days.
He had just recovered from being served by Liu Shulan last night.
“Marquis Su, had there been no report, I would not have troubled the Marquis’s Manor.” Liang Jin maintained a stern and impartial expression.
It was just that he had not told the whole truth. He had no desire to come to Su Dingheng’s residence.
Su Dingheng’s heart ached, and he had a headache. “Lord Liang, who within the Marquis’s Manor has been involved in wrongdoing?”
If he knew, he would certainly deal with that individual.
“I received a report that someone instructed the villager Granny Sun to falsely accuse Tongchang Medical Center of using medication to cause a patient’s death. This person is from the Marquis’s Manor,” Liang Jin declared coldly.
The moment he mentioned Tongchang Medical Center, Su Dingheng’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be Su Yingxue again?
For some reason, he instinctively associated this with Liu Shulan and her daughter.
However, recalling that he had reconciled with Liu Shulan the previous night, he spoke sternly, “Lord Liang, do you know who this person is? If someone from my Marquis’s Manor is wrongly accused, I cannot accept it..”
