NOVEL NEXT Leng Yuhe continued to play with Su Ruoqing’s fingers, quietly waiting for her following words.
“You know what? I never thought that everything would turn out this way. My parents died when I was six years old. So far, I don’t know the real reason why they left. I’ve been with the Su Family for so many years.”
As she slowly spoke out all of her misfortunes, her tone was calm, as if she was telling someone else’s story, which made Leng Yuhe feel very sad.
“Don’t worry. You’ll have me in your life in the future, and you will never be like that again.”
Listening to Leng Yuhe’s serious voice, Su Ruoqing smiled and turned to look at him.
“Before I saw you, I only heard everyone say that you were ruthless. Don’t be angry at my words. At that time, I thought you were notorious and definitely not a good person.”
Leng Yuhe’s expression suddenly changed. “Are you rejecting me?”
Su Ruoqing didn’t respond and continued with a smile, “When I arrived at your house, you really did what I thought. You were cruel to me, and made me feel the fear and helplessness I had never experienced before. I really hated you at that time, and every day I only wanted to run away from you.”
Continuing to listen, Leng Yuhe felt more and more frustrated, and he was really uncomfortable as the woman he liked said so.
“I…”
“Don’t be anxious. Listen to me. We’ve experienced some things together after so long. It makes me gradually find that you are different. You would smile at me, be gentle to me, and you would thoughtfully prepare a surprise for me…”
At this time, Leng Yuhe didn’t look like the cruel young general at ordinary times, and his mood was affected by Su Ruoqing’s words and deeds. For now, he was like a child who had not grown up and would show his emotions on his face when he was criticized or praised.
“I’m also a human and have feelings. You’ve done so much for me that I can certainly feel it. When you weren’t home, what I did most was standing on the balcony alone.”
“Miss me?”
Noticing Leng Yuhe’s eagerness for love, Su Ruoqing had a smile filling her eyes.
“Sort of. I think, although it is difficult to accept your character and style, they have been developed slowly in so many crises. What’s more, I wasn’t the wife of your choice at that time. Even I can’t accept that my happiness of a lifetime should be influenced by others, let alone the God’s favored one, you.”
No one had ever known him this well, or rather no one wanted to know him in this way. His desolate heart was like a dry land, and Su Ruoqing’s arrival was like a soft and sweet spring, which saved him.
“I’ve thought about using you more than once before in order to avenge myself, but today, I didn’t expect you to willingly act with me in front of Su Zhiyou. How can a person like you allow others to make use of you? But you’re willing to do it for me…”
“That’s not acting. I will be very kind to my woman indeed.”
While listening to Leng Yuhe’s childish words, Su Ruoqing only felt her heart softer.
“Okay, I take it that you were not acting, so thank you for helping me today. Anyway, everything that happened between us has made me care about you gradually, but I still don’t understand my feelings and can’t say that I like you, so…”
Leng Yuhe suddenly sat up with excitement. “Ruoqing, are you expressing your love for me?”
Looking at the happy expression of the man in front of her, Su Ruoqing did not know whether to nod or not for a moment, and she could do nothing but stay in his arms quietly.
“Ruoqing, thank you for telling me so much today. Even if you can’t accept me for now, I’m willing to wait.”
Surrounded by deep affection, Su Ruoqing felt a little guilty in front of Leng Yuhe, as she was never able to express her love.
“Ruoqing, the longer I have stayed with you, the more I feel that you are different. I’ve never cared about a girl so much, but everything of you can affect my emotions. So, honey, I think I like you.”
As he expressed his love gently and slowly, Su Ruoqing felt dizzy.
“So, are you expressing your love for me? General?”
It started to rain outside, and they couldn’t hear anything but the sound of rain, as the breath of the two intertwined.
“Ruoqing, I will have many things to do these days, so I can’t accompany you. I arranged a three-day trip, and later, maybe I won’t be able to return home frequently for a long time.”
They just got engaged but had to get parted for more days than being together, so Leng Yuhe was afraid that Su Ruoqing would be unhappy.
“It’s okay. If we can be together happily, we will have much time in the future.”
After talking for a long time, the couple fell asleep hugging each other.
Early the next morning, the servants were ready for their engagement trip.
Su Ruoqing finally woke up and Leng Yuhe kissed her forehead. “Since you are awake, get up now. After breakfast, we’re going to leave.”
“Where are we going?” Su Ruoqing rubbed her eyes and hadn’t yet reacted.
“A trip to a small island for three days. Our engagement trip.”
As soon as they prepared everything in a hurry, the two set out to the island. In order to ensure Leng Yuhe’s safety, the guards surrounded the entire island, and it was just a two-person world.
“How did you find such a beautiful place?”
“This is my private island. It is much safer than elsewhere. The scenery is also nice.”
The couple walked by the sea holding hands, and the sea was still quiet, as if it had fallen asleep. There was no wind or wave, and the sea water seemed to be solidified. The two walking hoped that time would solidify.
After spending two days in sweetness, they loved each other more. It was the last day, as the return date was coming.
Suddenly, there were deafening explosions and gunshots outside the island.
Su Ruoqing was a little scared. “What’s wrong?”
However, Leng Yuhe looked clam, as if he had known that all this would happen. “Don’t be afraid. Just stay here.”
With that, he walked out.
“General, as you expected, the number of people in the assassination this time was very large. All of them have been killed, with only two lives left, and they have been knocked unconscious.”
Looking at the two people unmoved on the ground, Leng Yuhe showed a cruel smile on his face. “Do everything possible to torture them on the spot, and immediately kill them after you get the results.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Su Ruoqing who was worried secretly followed him and heard everything while hiding in the distance.
It turned out that Leng Yuhe had known there would be assassination attempts, so he deliberately took her out to travel, letting the news out for the assassins to enter the trap. And sure enough, no matter how good Leng Yuhe was in front of her, he was still that ruthless young general.
Leng Yuhe, who finally caught the assassins alive, was in a good mood and prepared to go home with Su Ruoqing.
“Actually, I saw them all. Who are those people? Why did they try to assassinate you several times?”
Leng Yuhe didn’t foresee that Su Ruoqing had seen everything, nor did he expect her to ask him directly. “They are assassins from Province S, but I have no conclusive evidence to confirm it, so I must find a way to catch somebody alive and interrogate them.”
“So that’s the case.”
“As for why they want to assassinate me… there are many things involved in this. You might be afraid if I tell you. You just need to know that I will protect you.”
The ultimate purpose of all the actions in Province S should be to start a war, and Leng Yuhe had seen through them long ago. Although nothing would happen in a short time, he still didn’t want to tell Su Ruoqing but just hoped her to live happily under his protection.
Seeing that Leng Yuhe didn’t want to say more, Su Ruoqing stopped asking, but she felt that this matter was not so simple.
Shortly after they returned to the house, Adjutant Xu came in and reported to Leng Yuhe.
“General, we’ve already interrogated them and got the results. We have made records and obtained the evidence. What should we do next?”
Leng Yuhe turned the buttons on the collar. “Kill them all. Then send all the bodies back to the Provincial Government of S. Remember, the packaging should be delicate. This is our gift.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Leng Yuhe doubted that the people in Province S might do something more crazily. He could resist them, but now that he had Ruoqing and couldn’t keep her company at any time, he had to arrange more people to ensure her safety.
He opened the bedroom door, to see Su Ruoqing standing on the balcony. Nobody knew what she was thinking about.
“Ruoqing, try not to go out in the future. Even if you want to go out, you have to take the people I sent to protect you. Understand?”
Su Ruoqing was very smart, naturally knowing the stake, and nodded obediently. “I understand, but it’s too boring to stay at home every day. Can I let Ming Zhu accompany me?”
“Of course. Now you are the mistress here. It is your right to invite whoever you like to be your guest.”
Unwilling to part with Su Ruoqing, Leng Yuhe kissed her. Then he rushed to the army to deal with other things.
In the army, a group of subordinates carefully reported to Leng Yuhe.
“General, I don’t think this surprise attack and assassination from Province S is simple. Province S is small and has never done anything to stand out since long ago. Why did they suddenly attack us, even consistently?”
“Yes, General, I agree to this point of view.”
Adjutant Xu submitted an army knife. “General, some of the assassins that we killed had different hairstyles, clothes and weapons from ours. They looked like people from Country Y.”
After he said that, all the officials in the military camp were astonished. Even Leng Yuhe did not think of this point. If it was really related to the people from Country Y, it could not be underestimated.
Looking at the flustered people in front of him, Leng Yuhe was clear that the most important thing was to calm the soldiers down, so he winked at Adjutant Xu.
“With the strength of Province S, the people from Country Y will not choose to cooperate with them. You can rest assured for now and concentrate on preparing to take precautions against all actions in Province S.”
“Yes, Sir.”
After everyone left, Leng Yuhe took the army knife from Adjutant Xu’s hand and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a warrior knife of Country Y and couldn’t be something that the Chinese used. Was it…
“Adjutant Xu, get the car ready. Let’s go to the president’s mansion.”
Su Ruoqing felt quite bored at home, so she called to ask Ming Zhu to come.
