Ye Ling put down the knife and fork politely. âSay it. How have those annoying rascals benefitted you?â
âWhat benefits?â Tong Hua was annoyed. âDo I look like someone who cares about benefits? Even if the elder uncles are adorable, so is young uncle Yifan. I wonât change my mind so easily. I just genuinely feel that its good to have another form of backup. It would be good for you too. If you had a strong backup plan, you wouldnât have had to fake your death.â
âShen Qianshu, didnât you tell him that your brothers were the one who sent people to kill me?â
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Tong Hua cursed inwardly. Welp, thatâs awkward.
He almost forgot about this.
Well... Seems like that was what happened.
âUncles have turned over a new leaf. A prodigal daughter returning home is worth more than gold. We have to be open-minded. Give others a chance to repent and redeem themselves.â
Ye Ling squinted. âI really want to ask you. What does your teacher teach you? You sound like an old man with those cringy phrases.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âInternational King of Jelly, who are you to say that about me?â Tong Hua did not wish to speak more to him. He had wanted to treat him as a friend and talk to him about his problems, but Ye Ling was unappreciative of it. Well, forget it then. Kindness is not appreciated. Then thereâs nothing that can help him.
âWhat is International King of Jelly?â
âIâm saying that your jealousy is famous worldwide. You are number one, and no one can surpass you. Isnât that just so great?â Tong Hua was in his sassy mode. You faked your death, and Mommy forgave you so easily, but I still havenât. Insulting you every day brings me great joy.
For this meal, the guards enjoyed watching the show. They were really satisfied.
After dinner, Ye Ling went into the monitoring room and watched for Black Roseâs whereabouts. She vanished like thin air until Mu Yuan sent him information. Someone was taking over this mission, and time may be wasted. Ye Ling felt his heart turning heavy.
Black Rose has left, but what about the thing in Shen Qianshuâs tummy?
âGet Bo Yiren over.â
âYes!â
Bo Yiren entered the castle when it was evening. Shen Qianshu was trimming the flowers in the garden, and they happened to bump into each other face to face. Bo Yiren was gentle and nice as usual with not a single tinge of aggressiveness. Shen Qianshu said softly, âHello Miss Bo. Could you promise me something?â
Bo Yiren said softly, âMiss Shen, please go on.â
âWhen I was born, someone had stuck something in my tummy. I donât know what it is, but all I know is that I could explode anytime. No matter what Ye Ling asks you, could you please lie and tell him not to worry about me? I hope he wonât do anything scary just for me. Most importantly, I canât go get an operation.â
Bo Yiren was shocked. Canât be operated on? Why?
Something in her tummy... Could explode anytime... This isnât any small issue.
âWhy?â
âHe has hurt himself in Golden City. Right now, he has not had enough time to rest. I do not wish that he would be overworked. I just want him to recuperate well. I donât want him to worry about other things. This has been inside me for so many years, and it has never affected my health anyway. Unless Black Rose has run out of ideas, she wouldnât want me dead. She just wants to control me. Since it is so, we shouldnât worry too much about it. If we do, we might end up giving Black Rose an opportunity.â
Bo Yiren stared at her blankly. âMiss Shen, youâre... really admirable.â
âWhy so?â
âMaster is so lucky to have you.â Bo Yiren laughed and did not answer her. âYou will be his medicine.â
Shen Qianshu felt that she did not deserve being called that. She was only worried that he might do something harmful just for her health. She genuinely wished that Ye Ling would just rest.
