Chapter 486: The Mysterious Person At The Banquet!
“I also don’t like,” Ye Ling said calmly. He lowered his eyes slightly. Not knowing what he was thinking, Shen Qianshu walked around him and stood in front of him. Ye Ling frowned, pulled her, and left the side of the window.
“Master, are you unhappy in the Ye Family?”
“Uh huh.”
Shen Qianshu held his hand and smiled. “It’s alright. You were not happy in the first 27 years, but in the last 72 years, you will be very happy.”
“Why is it so?”
“Because there is me.” Shen Qianshu smiled and looked at him. She was so confident that she seemed shameless.
Ye Ling was startled, and he narrowed his eyes. “You will accompany me for 72 years?”
This was a lifelong promise.
Ye Ling felt a gush of warmth in his heart and stared fixedly at her eyes. Does she know what she is saying?
His illness was like a time bomb; even he himself was not sure when it would explode.
Looking at her, he could also sense Shen Qianshu’s hesitation and insecurity.
He was like a curse. Nobody would stand by his side without turning back.
People valued their lives.
Shen Qianshu’s gaze slightly wavered. Accompany him for life?
She could take the gamble, but what about Tong Hua?
Ye Ling’s gaze slightly darkened, thinking that he had accepted his fate. He was in extreme grief, yet he was helpless. He obviously knew that it was heartbreaking and painful, but he gladly endured it. All because he could not bear to part with this little warmth. He just could not bear to.
The sound of knocking came from the door. Ye Ling frowned. “What is the matter?”
Zhong Ran replied. “Young Master, the old lady is asking you to come downstairs.”
“Got it.”
Shen Qianshu wanted to speak but did not say anything in the end. At that moment, she could not understand why Ye Ling had brought her upstairs. Zhong Ran pushed the door and came in. He said calmly, “Young Master, your guess is correct. There is someone outside the window.”
“Protect Tong Hua well.”
“Yes!”
Shen Qianshu’s gaze fell as she suddenly thought of Ye Ling’s expression earlier when he brought her away from the side of the window.
“What’s wrong?”
“Not a problem. There are some annoying flies.”
Shen Qianshu had trusted him fully. She kept feeling that Ye Ling was somehow different today. He was very patient and also very… dark and cold. When she had hesitated earlier, if it were under normal circumstances, he would have already said threatening words. However, he did not say anything today.
“Master, I…”
“Let’s go downstairs,” Ye Ling said in a low voice.
Shen Qianshu took a deep breath, nodded her head, and followed him downstairs.
It was very lively in the ballroom downstairs. Ye Yifan was accompanying Little Tong Hua and dancing with him. Being an adult and a child dancing tango, they looked pompous, and the surrounding people were clapping for them. With Ye Ling backing him up, little Tong Hua with his lovable nature had garnered a big crowd of fans in just a short period of time.
Shen Qianshu could not help laughing. Ye Ling walked towards Mu Yuan, who had been hiding in a corner just like an invisible person.
“How is it?”
“I think that Ghost City’s people are here.” Mu Yuan raised his eyebrow, gazing at something nearby. There was a handsome and suave young man. “Look!”
There was a young man about 30 years of age. He was very gentlemanly; his features were refined, and his look was elegant. His face looked quite pale, and he was tall but thin. The light tan color of his long trench coat had made him appear thinner. He had a pair of smiling eyes, which made it easy for people to form a good impression of him.
“Who is he?”
“I don’t know him,” Mu Yuan said. “I could confirm the identity of everyone but him. He just came and had already greeted Ye Old Lady, and the old lady was particularly polite to him. He had also greeted Li Zhiyuan. There were a few politicians who seemed to know him, and they were also extremely courteous. I just heard a few famous ladies discussing that he was also an unfamiliar face.”
