Chapter 540:

"I'm not afraid, really, I'm not afraid. You Taoist priests are so cool! Besides, you're all so powerful, you can definitely protect me, right? So, can we not cancel our engagement?"

Li Xinru stared intently at Ye Dongfeng, looking as if she was afraid he would say he didn't want her anymore.

Hearing her words, Ye Dongfeng sighed and said, "You like me that much? Is love at first sight that powerful?"

"Yes, I just like you. I don't know why, I just like you."

Li Xinru suddenly pulled out her IV drip, then jumped onto Ye Dongfeng, hugging him tightly and saying, "So, please don't cancel the engagement, okay? We've already had the wedding, so please don't cancel it!"

"Oh, you!"

Ye Dongfeng saw that Li Xinru's hand was bleeding, so he used magic to stop the bleeding. He said, "Alright, actually, I already liked you a little when you took the knife for me today. It's just that I'm afraid my family and work will put your family in trouble and danger, so I was thinking that maybe we should break off the engagement..."

"So now, have you accepted me?"

Li Xinru looked at her hand, which had stopped bleeding, and then continued to hug Ye Dongfeng, saying, "You've already fallen for me, so please don't break off the engagement, okay? I really like you."

"It depends on what your family says. What if your parents and brother don't agree to you marrying me?"

Ye Dongfeng stroked Li Xinru's hair and said, "My dad has already confessed this to them, so..."

"They will agree. They will agree to anything I like."

Li Xinru got up and went to find her parents and brother to say, "My parents and brother love me very much, they will definitely agree."

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Ye's mother and Li's mother came in. As soon as Li's mother saw her daughter get out of bed, she immediately said, "Oh dear, why did you pull out the needle?"

Ye's mother also said, "Yes, why did you pull out the needle? Hurry up and go back to bed, I'll go call the doctor."

As she spoke, Ye's mother went to call the doctor. After seeing her parents, Li Xinru said, "Mom and Dad, brother, I'm going to marry Dongfeng. I don't care what his family does, I'm going to marry him!"

"But their house is very dangerous!"

Mr. Li looked troubled and said, "Although saying they're from a family of exorcists sounds impressive, it's also very dangerous. Haven't you seen those ghost-catching exorcists on TV? They have a ton of enemies, not to mention they have enemies from the demon realm. It's too dangerous. You two almost died today!"

Because the Li family didn't know that Li Xinru was injured while protecting Ye Dongfeng, they always thought that the men in black were specifically targeting the Ye family. So, as the Ye family's new daughter-in-law, Li Xinru was stabbed.

Otherwise, if they knew that their daughter was injured while protecting Ye Dongfeng, they would probably demand to take Li Xinru away right now.

Li Xinru knew her parents didn't want her to be in danger, but she still refused to leave Ye Dongfeng: "No, I want to marry him. I love him, and he's the one for me for life!"

Hearing his daughter-in-law's words, Mr. Ye chimed in, saying, "Well, actually, our family isn't exactly a weak or small clan. Besides, there are quite a few capable people in the metaphysical circle. If we were to confront the Demon Realm head-on, we would still be able to protect this human realm..."

"Did you hear that? Mom and Dad, they're still really amazing."

Li Xinru insisted on marrying Ye Dongfeng, which put their parents in a difficult position because they loved their daughter too much. Just as they were persisting, Yue Jiuling and the others arrived.

"Hi, everyone's here! How are Dongfeng and Xinru doing?"

Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu arrived carrying fruit baskets specially for visiting patients, and the other colleagues followed them into the ward. The person who had just spoken was Yue Jiuling.

As soon as Mr. Ye saw them, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Oh, it's you guys! Oh dear, Dongfeng and Xinru are both alright now, they just need to rest. By the way, Miss Yue, how's the interrogation of those demons going?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it. They committed mass suicide, vanished into thin air."

Bai Xinyu walked to Ye Dongfeng's bedside and said, "Dongfeng, are you all alright?"

"It's alright, it's just a shoulder injury. But why would they commit suicide?" Ye Dongfeng reminded his colleagues, "That's really strange. By the way, Xinru and the others already know our identities."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyu nodded: "Oh, I see. But who knows about this suicide ghost? Anyway, they all committed suicide."

Hidden also walked over and said, "I've already reported this matter. Now you can just focus on recovering."

Mu Xiaoyi and Yue Jiuling both walked to Li Xinru's side. Mu Xiaoyi looked at Li Xinru and said, "Xinru, why did you get out of bed? Your injury hasn't healed yet?"

As she spoke, Mu Xiaoyi pushed Li Xinru back onto the bed: "You lie down first, it's warm under the covers." Yue Jiuling also said, "Yeah, why did you get out of bed?"

Upon hearing that all the men in black had committed suicide, Mr. Ye frowned and looked at the management staff, saying, "Why did they commit suicide? Something doesn't feel right."

"Yes, but we can't find anything more about this matter."
