Chapter 14 Bringing Relationships Closer
Listening to Lu Yi's meaningful tone, Ye Ran felt uneasy for some reason...
Her ears started to feel hot, but Lu Yi kept looking at her with that devilish smile, his alluring peach blossom eyes and the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye seemed to be constantly seducing her.
Honestly, why does this kid have to be so handsome! In the eyes of an old aunt who is almost forty, Lu Yi, who is only about twenty years old, is naturally a little kid.
But she forgot that she was only a seventeen-year-old girl...
Ye Ran was completely unaware of the impending crisis; her emotional experiences were still stuck in her previous life.
Having been too busy for so long, she had long forgotten the taste of love and was completely emotionally clueless. No matter how obvious other people's feelings were, she felt nothing.
In today's context, there's one word that perfectly describes her: a straight-talking, uncompromising woman...
But Ye Ran was completely unaware of all this. She just felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she quickly shifted her gaze and pretended to look at the road beneath her feet.
Seeing her discomfort, Lu Yi smiled and didn't push her too hard.
Skilled hunters understand one thing: you can't chase your prey too closely, or you're likely to trigger its self-preservation instincts.
The best way to escape instantly is to slowly surround it, without breaking its comfort zone. Once it has completely lowered its guard and become engrossed in its trap, you can strike decisively!
He still had that much patience, so Lu Yi naturally changed the subject: "What grudge does the Xu family have against your family? Why do you hate them so much?"
Whenever the Xu family was mentioned, Ye Ran felt a surge of hatred, but she couldn't tell anyone. She had to hold back and tell Lu Yi about the grievances between the two families, only mentioning the parts she could.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yi seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this, and he didn't even hear Ye Ran calling him twice.
Suddenly, Lu Yi asked rather bluntly, "Since Xu Qiang is just an ordinary farmhand in the Bai family, how did he have the opportunity to access documents from an enemy country?"
Ye Ran was stunned. Right, how did Xu Qiang get it? They had never thought about this question before. Could it be that someone was orchestrating this conspiracy behind the Bai family's raid?
Ye Ran shivered involuntarily. It was as if countless eyes were hidden behind the darkness, which suddenly made her feel a little scared.
Seeing Ye Ran's fear, Lu Yi patted her shoulder reassuringly and comforted her, "That's all in the past. That person might not still be watching you."
Ye Ran gave a somewhat awkward smile, and calmed herself down. "Yes, but no matter who it is, I will find this person and avenge my grandfather!"
Lu Yi smiled encouragingly at her, "Yes, no matter what happens, I'll be with you. You're never alone, don't be afraid!"
Ye Ran was deeply moved by his words and didn't notice the strange wording in them. She just felt that it was really worthwhile to have made this friend!
Lu Yi continued his calm analysis, "Since Xu Qiang got the item from that person, it proves that he must know something!"
Ye Ran agreed wholeheartedly, "That's right, but Xu Qiang is a very gloomy person. He has been alone for so many years and doesn't communicate with anyone."
The only thing I know about him is what he did when he was young with my grandfather and mother. After that, there seems to be no news of him at all; getting him to talk is extremely difficult.
