Lin Tuanzhang and Su Sha exchanged glances outside the curtain for a long while before quietly walking to a secluded spot. "Su Sha, I like your daughter-in-law’s personality," Lin Tuanzhang declared as they stopped.
"You don’t think she’s too assertive?" Su Sha replied with a bitter smile. "This also explains why Xiao Wan wasn’t lying about Luo Ye using a needle on her."
Lin Tuanzhang laughed: "Put yourself in Luo Ye’s shoes. Would you have tolerated Xiao Wan’s provocation? That child is simply blinded by love."
"?" Su Sha sighed. "I might have tolerated it, but I don’t have her skills. Frankly, I’m very curious how she manages those needle techniques."
"This just ans you also don’t want to tolerate. Your so-called tolerance is rely a helpless gesture. Your daughter-in-law really excels in both literary and martial arts," Lin Tuanzhang shook his head with a smile. "This child, really is the envy of most girls. By the way, what’s her family background like?"
After hesitating a mont, Su Sha replied truthfully: "Ye’er’s father is the Secretary of the Municipal Committee in Island City, and her mother is the only daughter of the Wen Family."
Lin Tuanzhang showed a surprised look: "The Wen Family? That Wen Family?"
"Exactly, that one."
"It’s rare! Truly rare!" Lin Tuanzhang clasped Su Sha’s hand. "Cherish it. With such a background, cultivating such skills, and yet being so unassuming, you should be overjoyed."
"Sister Lin, thank you," Su Sha’s eyes filled with gratitude.
"No need, I just don’t want you to regret it later," Lin Tuanzhang patted her. "This daughter-in-law of yours might bring you unexpected surprises, trust my instinct."
"Hopefully," Su Sha glanced at the ti. "Let’s go back, it’s ti for them to rest."
...
At five thirty in the morning, Luo Ye got up on ti and went to the nearby playground to jog. Considering her recent surgery, she kept a very slow pace. Soon footsteps sounded behind her, and before she could turn around, Ye Mo’s familiar voice reached her, "Ye’er, up so early?"
"Brother Ye?" Luo Ye turned around with surprise: "It’s been a long ti, how have you been lately? How is auntie?"
"Mom and I are doing well, she keeps talking about you," Ye Mo eyed her complexion, his eyes full of concern: "I heard you were hospitalized recently, is it okay for you to run?"
"It’s fine, just taking it slow," Luo Ye’s dark eyes glead with mirth. "Knowing I was sick, you didn’t co to see ."
"I..." Ye Mo laughed awkwardly, at a loss for words.
Luo Ye quickly said, "Just kidding, don’t take it seriously."
Ye Mo hesitated, then confessed, "Actually...I did co."
Luo Ye realized and smiled apologetically, "Brother Ye, I’m sorry if my attitude caused you any distress, I..." She hesitated, unsure how to continue.
"Ye’er, since we’re talking about this, I just want to understand, why were your eyes like that when you first saw ?"
"That..." Luo Ye took a mont, then decided to be upfront: "Brother Ye, if I told you, before I t you, I saw you in my dreams, would you believe ?"
"In dreams?" Ye Mo murmured, then nodded: "I believe!"
"I also find it amazing. For a while, I kept having this dream where you were my superior. During a mission, to save , you... took a bullet for , and I had that dream many tis. So, the first ti I saw you, I couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality," Luo Ye half-jokingly said. "Because of that dream, I felt a special closeness to you, just like a brother."
"I see," Ye Mo nodded in understanding, accepting her explanation.
"But in the dream, it was all caused by a woman, and what’s even scarier is, during this ti, I t her as well," Luo Ye looked seriously at Ye Mo, "You must know her, Qian Ying."
For Ye Mo’s safety, this was the best approach. Whether or not Qian Ying would resort to drastic actions out of jealousy in this life, Luo Ye didn’t want such a person to marry Ye Mo, knowing how dangerous a fanatic could be.
When Ye Qingzhu told her that Qian Ying would stay in Division A, she asked herself whom she would choose if Ye Mo had confessed first.
After seriously pondering this dilemma, her conclusion was that her feelings for Ye Mo were only fraternal love, entirely different from her feelings for Ye Xuan.
If she had t Ye Mo earlier, perhaps due to the events of her past life, she would have accepted him. But, such assumptions no longer existed.
The reality was, she t Ye Xuan early on and unknowingly, their hearts grew close. Perhaps, that was fate, that was destiny!
