It was already dark when a knock came at the door of the villa in the remote countryside.
Lu Zhufeng glanced at his watch and raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's not time for assassins to visit yet."
"Besides, those idiot killers weren't exactly known for their manners."
Everyone gave him a look with indescribable expressions, then turned their gaze to Chu Liyue, who was holding Xiao Wujie's waist.
Chu Liyue's expression didn't change much. She calmly raised her chin slightly at Lu Zhufeng and said, "Open the door and take a look."
Lu Zhufeng stood up, glanced around, bent down to pick up a hammer he used to fix windows, and strode towards the door.
As everyone sat in the restaurant, they heard him exclaim in surprise, "Young Master Chu!" Then they saw him leading a tall figure into the restaurant, who was none other than Chu Nanfeng, who should have stayed in China.
Meeting the astonished gazes of everyone in the restaurant, Chu Nanfeng remained unfazed and smiled slightly:
"Liyue told me that you were short-handed, so I brought more people with me to help ease the pressure on you."
Chu Liyue raised an eyebrow silently upon hearing this; how come she didn't know that she had said that?
Seemingly afraid that Chu Liyue would disrespect him and cause trouble, Chu Nanfeng quickly continued:
“I brought a lot of manpower with me, and I’ve planted spies for miles around the area. There are also a large number of Shadow Blade elites guarding the villa. I guarantee you won’t be bothered by assassins tonight.”
Chu Liyue placed one hand on Xiao Wujie's shoulder, gently pinching the soft flesh of the back of his neck, and spoke ruthlessly:
"At least you did something decent."
Chu Nanfeng gave a slightly awkward twitch of his lips, then his gaze involuntarily drifted toward Leng Ruxue, only to see her clutching her skirt with her small hands, her eyes lowered, as if she dared not meet his eyes in front of everyone.
To ease the awkwardness, he smiled and scratched his head, "Is there any food left?"
"I just got off the plane and came straight here. I haven't had dinner yet."
Lu Zhufeng nodded in agreement and considerately handed him a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Chu Nanfeng naturally pulled up a chair and sat down next to Leng Ruxue, and dinner was spent in a wonderful atmosphere.
The door to the last room on the second floor was not closed.
Xiao Wujie had already taken a bath and was lying in bed. He was now resting his head on Chu Liyue's lap, his arms wrapped around her waist, calling out "Sister" with dependence and affection.
Chu Liyue responded softly with great patience, her slender hands sliding into the blankets, roaming over his sexy muscles, gently teasing him, making him so comfortable that he buried his face in her flat stomach, rubbing against her affectionately.
A hint of weariness appeared on Xiao Wujie's handsome and charming face. His eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes were filled with sleepiness. His voice was low and soft.
"Is Sister waiting for Big Brother?"
Chu Liyue gently stroked his cheek with her delicate fingertips and replied, "He came over without saying a word, he should give me an explanation."
"Sweetie, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll come and keep you company soon."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wujie shook his head slightly, tightened his arms around her waist, and spoke softly:
"I want my older sister to hold me. I'll wait for my older sister."
Just then, a helpless sigh came from the doorway: "The explanation is here."
Chu Nanfeng's tall figure entered the room, closed the door behind him, and then sat down on the chair next to the bed.
Before Chu Liyue could speak, he said helplessly:
"I came for two reasons. One is to see the little sister, and the other is that I noticed the situation here and brought some reinforcements."
"Don't worry, I've already talked to my parents about the family business. They'll take care of it, and nothing will go wrong."
Concise and to the point, with clear logic.
Chu Liyue stared at him with icy eyes and said coldly, "You know that's not what I care about."
Upon hearing this, Chu Nanfeng pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes, and said, "I left a tracking device in my sister's luggage."
"So we can accurately pinpoint your location and easily investigate your situation."
Knowing that she was meticulous and extremely suspicious, Chu Nanfeng quickly explained:
"Don't worry, that positioning device is specially made by Shadow Blade, and no one else can locate your position through it."
"Your location was exposed this time, probably because of the intervention of someone with extraordinary connections."
Seeing that Chu Liyue's expression remained cold, Chu Nanfeng smiled bitterly:
"It was my mistake to put a tracking device in my sister's luggage without informing you beforehand."
"I do indeed feel that your trip is dangerous, and I want to know your situation as soon as possible."
With cold, deep eyes, Chu Liyue silently met his gaze for a moment before lowering her long eyelashes and withdrawing her gaze. Her voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable sharpness and majesty.
There will be no next time.
She has always been unconventional and dislikes being under the surveillance of others.
She trusted Chu Nanfeng, but she couldn't completely entrust her back to anyone other than Xiao Wujie.
Previously, it was because Xiao Wujie protected her with his life, preferring to suffer the torment of poison himself rather than let her be harmed. He valued her life more than his own.
Now, he is completely devoted to her, and she can no longer see or think of anyone else but him. She considers him to be the most important person in everything.
To use the classic phrase from literature about giving one's life, she would give it to Xiao Wujie even if he wanted it.
Ignoring Chu Nanfeng, she gracefully lay down on her side under the covers, pulled the sleepy Xiao Wujie into her arms, and placed her arm under his head, letting him comfortably rest his head in the crook of her arm.
She gently patted his back, lightly touched his eyebrows with her red lips, and coaxed him in a soft voice:
"Sleep well, sweetie, I'm holding you."
Xiao Wujie wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, pressed his cheek against her heart, and gently nuzzled her delicate nose. Under her tender, soothing coaxing, he slowly closed his eyes.
Looking at Chu Nanfeng, who was still sitting by the bed, Chu Liyue raised an eyebrow. Was there something else?
Chu Nanfeng gazed at her silently. Only after Xiao Wujie's eyes were closed and her breathing became even and deep did he lower his voice and speak:
"I... told my parents about my sister and me."
Chu Liyue held Xiao Wujie in her arms without saying a word, but her eyes flickered slightly, signaling him to continue.
Chu Nanfeng lowered his gaze slightly and spoke in a low voice:
“My parents said they support me pursuing my sister and hope I can fulfill the responsibilities a man should have.”
"They said they didn't care about my sister's background and hoped I could take her back to meet them as soon as possible."
Chu Liyue nodded slightly upon hearing this. The Chu family was not large, so the best option was to form an alliance with other families through marriage to expand the family's network of relationships.
Neither she nor Chu Nanfeng, nor Chu Mingcheng and Bai Jingxuan chose to sacrifice their happiness by marrying into other families' young masters and ladies. Instead, they respected their choices, which is truly commendable.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Chu Nanfeng's lips, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes:
“My sister is too naive. I want to stay so I can have more time to get to know her.”
"Please help me so I can become a boyfriend who can be seen in public soon."
Chu Liyue nodded silently, which was taken as agreement.
At this moment, Xiao Wujie unconsciously hummed in her arms. Chu Liyue quickly reached out and covered his ears, hugging him even tighter. "Be good, I'm here."
Seeing this, Chu Nanfeng wisely closed the door and left the room.
