Moreover, Lin Cuiying always felt that someone was following her in the dark, but when she turned around to look, she found nothing.

She was a little confused, but didn't think much of it.

I just think it might be because I've been too tired lately, which is why I'm acting a bit neurotic.

Meanwhile, the man in the distant city was talking to his subordinates.

Have you been there recently? How is she?

The subordinate replied, "Your Majesty, I visited her yesterday. She's doing well, and her business is booming."

The man nodded. "That's good."

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, there is something I want to say, but I don't know if I should."

The man glanced at him and said, "Why are you stammering today? Just say what you have to say."

The subordinate said, "I feel that you're protecting her so silently, and she may never know. Don't you want her to know how good you are to her?"

The man was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Of course I want her to know, but I don't want her to feel burdened."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate said with some confusion, "A burden? Master, I don't quite understand what you mean."

The man sighed and said, "She's strong-willed and stubborn. If she knew I was helping her behind the scenes, she might feel indebted to me and feel burdened. Moreover, she might refuse my help."

After hearing this, the subordinate suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Our master is very thoughtful."

The man gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and thoughtful. "I just hope she can be happy. Nothing else matters."

The subordinate was somewhat moved; he had never seen his master so attentive to any woman before.

"Then, Master, what should we do next?" the subordinate asked.

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to send people to protect her secretly. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

"yes."

The subordinate respectfully responded and withdrew.

The man thought of Lin Cuiying again, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He knew that what he was doing might be very difficult and might not yield any results.

However, he was willing to give everything for her.

At this time, Lin Cuiying was completely unaware of these things.

Her business was booming, and she was so busy every day that she had no time to think about anything else.

That day, Lin Cuiying went to the street to set up a stall with Lin Tiandong, just like usual.

The family went along too.

Lin Changgeng and Chen helped pack things up, while Lin Tiandong carried a basket on his back containing the raw materials for today's cooking.

The two little girls followed excitedly. Although they couldn't help much, they really enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

"Father, Mother, are we going to get the medicine today?" Lin Cuiying suddenly remembered this and asked.

Lin Changgeng nodded. "Yes, your mother's medicine is almost finished, so I'll go get some more today."

Madam Chen also said, "You should get your father's medicine ready too."

Lin Tiandong was a little puzzled. "Father, Mother, we'll catch it for you then."

Chen shook her head and said, "You all busy with your business, your father and I will go to town with you."

"Since you two have both gone to town, what will happen to the two little girls? Will you leave them at home?"

Lin Changgeng glanced at the two young girls. "How can we leave them at home? We'll go together, and they can come with us."

Ms. Chen added, "Yes, they get bored at home, and it's more lively with us."

Upon hearing this, the two little girls immediately perked up, "Great! We can go to the street now!"

Lin Cuiying laughed too, "You two little ones, do you really like going to town that much?"

The little girls nodded vigorously, "Town is fun! There are lots of delicious things to eat and fun things to do!"

Lin Tiandong smiled and said, "Alright, after your uncle finishes his work today, he'll take you all out for some fun."

The family chatted and laughed, and soon arrived in town.

Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong started their business as usual by setting up a stall.

The two little girls were very sensible; they knew their mother and uncle were busy with business, so they stayed quietly by the stall and played.

Lin Yuelan also took the initiative to help clear the table and greet the guests.

Although she is still young, she does things in a very professional manner, which makes Lin Cuiying very gratified.

"Lan, you're so sensible," Lin Cuiying said, patting her head.

Not to be outdone, Lin Yueju came over and tugged at Lin Cuiying's pants, "Mother, I can help too! I want to help you and Uncle do business together in the future!"

"Good, Ju'er is sensible." Lin Cuiying smiled. "When Ju'er grows a little taller, she can help her mother."

"I can help my mother with chores now!"

A few more people came to buy steamed buns, and Lin Cuiying told Lin Yueju to go play somewhere else, so she went off to do her own thing.

Not long after, Lin Changgeng and Chen returned with the medicine.

Lin Yueju, with her sharp eyes, spotted them immediately and ran over excitedly, "Grandpa, Grandma, you're back!"

However, just as she reached the roadside, an oxcart suddenly darted out from around the corner.

Lin Yueju's figure was immediately blocked, and her voice was drowned out by the noise.

Not far away, Lin Changgeng and Chen were talking to each other with their heads down, completely unaware of Lin Yueju.

At this moment, Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong were extremely busy, with customers coming and going at their stall, and they had no time to pay attention to their surroundings.

Lin Yueju's figure gradually disappeared from the crowd's sight, concealed by the oxcart.

When Lin Changgeng and Chen returned to their stall, they did not find that Lin Yueju was gone.

They assumed Lin Yueju was just playing around, so they didn't pay much attention.

After a while, Lin Changgeng and Chen returned to their stall.

They were delighted to see business was so good. "Yingzi, Tiandong, business is good today!"

Lin Cuiying smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mom and Dad, business is really good today."

Lin Tiandong added, "Yes, Mom and Dad, you don't know, just now a lot of people came to buy our steamed buns."

Lin Changgeng and Chen Shi smiled broadly upon hearing this, "Good, good, you are capable, the business is getting better and better."

After a while, Lin Changgeng and Chen rested for a bit before suddenly realizing that they hadn't seen Lin Yueju in a long time.

Chen asked with some confusion, "Why haven't I seen Ju'er?"

Lin Yuelan pointed to the place where Lin Yueju had just played, "Little sister, that's where you were playing."

Lin Cuiying also looked over, but found that the place was empty and there was no sign of Lin Yueju.

Her heart tightened immediately. "Lan, where's your sister?"

Lin Yuelan also noticed something was wrong. "Mother, I didn't know. My sister was just there a moment ago."
