Chapter 468 - Has He Dated Before?
Su Nancheng felt somewhat jealous. He looked at her and realized that her face was really breathtaking. She looked exceptionally beautiful. However, she looked really soft; thus, it was rather doubtful that she could become the lady of Ye Family. On the other hand, If it were Master Qian, she would be able to pull it off.
“Forget it, I’m worrying for nothing.” Su Nancheng put on a sullen face as if he had received a blow.
“Ok that’s enough. Seeing your crestfallen face now, Master might really think that you like me. Can you please maintain a better expression?”
Su Nancheng was about to say something but stopped. He reached out and touched Shen Qianshu’s head dotingly. His gaze turned soft and gentle. “Master Qian, if Ah Ling bullies you, tell me and I will stand up for you.”
“You are scared of him yourself! How can I count on you?”
“You can!” Su Nancheng said confidently.
Shen Qianshu smoothly changed her words and said, “Master has never bullied me before.”
“If that’s the case, why did you leave him for seven years?”
“It’s complicated!” Shen Qianshu blurted out.
Shen Qianshu poked him and cheekily said, “Let me ask you something. Master… has he dated before?”
Although it seemed like no woman was able to get close to him now, everybody had gone through their teenage years. During his teenage years, maybe it was because he was not as icy and scary as now, his smile could charm all women. Perhaps, he had suffered a huge blow to become the cold person he was today.
Su Nancheng playfully asked, “Why don’t you ask him?”
“If I dared to ask him, would I have asked you?”
“Such a coward!”
“Are you going to tell me or not!”
“A person like Ah Ling dating? Are you joking? Rumors have been circulating that he’s allergic to women. Anyway, he has always been distant and cold since the first time I met him.”
“I guessed so too!” Shen Qianshu could not help but break out into a smile.
“I heard that you dated many times before and have a bunch of ex-boyfriends. You even attracted a group of young ladies and handsome lads in the casino.”
Shen Qianshu looked towards the direction of little Tong Hua and said, “Tong Hua, what are you doing? Come and greet Uncle!”
“I applaud you for this smart change of topic!” Su Nancheng exclaimed.
He kept feeling that Shen Qianshu was too good for Ye Ling!
Su Nancheng was unwilling to leave. If it were not for the fact that he had stuff to do at the casino at night, he would really have stayed in Rose Castle. After dinner, he and Ye Ling hung out in the study room for a short while before he had to leave. For some strange reason, Ye Ling was really sullen.
The news today was too unexpected.
Regardless of whether it was Zhong Ran who told him the news about Tong Hua’s parents or the news Su Nancheng brought back from Ghost City, he somehow felt that this would not be an easy matter. The two matters that seemed to not have any connections at all were, however, all surrounding the same person.
Shen Qianshu!
Shen Qianshu leaned against his arm and found it difficult to fall asleep from his tossing and turning. She could not help but flip over. She laid on his chest and said, “Master, the matters on your mind, do they concern me?”
“Go to sleep!” Ye Ling reached out his hand and stroked her back lightly.
These matters were all very troubling. There was no need for her to know too.
What would come would eventually come!
The next day—the last day of the year.
On this day, Rose Castle was very quiet. Ye Ling did not really pay attention to New Year’s Day. Although the group of bodyguards around him were always working for him, they were all native Chinese and paid great attention to this day. They were mostly single and had few plans. Ye Ling gave them a day off, allowing them to play as they liked. Other than the bodyguards on the necessary posts, Rose Castle did not keep anyone else. Just like that, the huge castle appeared to be very quiet.
