Ye Ling was startled. Shen Qianshu tiptoed and gave him a light peck on his cheek. Then, she hurried away. “I’m off to watch the competition.”
Zhong Ran was literally pressing his ears against the door, wanting to hear how Shen Qianshu managed to cool Ye Ling down. He wanted to learn how to use her tactics so that they would not need Shen Qianshu to come over whenever Master was enraged. Hearing this made him stupefied.
What great skills!
She walked past all the flowers but never ever fell in love.
Shen Qianshu has had many exes while their Master was like a blank sheet of paper when it came to love. Their Master was clearly no match for her. This was a matter of a professional lover and a silly yet innocent person. She ran away after flirting with him. She lured him in yet did not allow him to take any action.
He straightened his back like a professional bodyguard and stood still with a serious look on his face. The next second, the door opened, and Shen Qianshu greeted him before making her way out. Zhong Ran stared at her from a distance in admiration.
He felt as if he could see Master marrying a woman.
Zhong Ran and Ah Da have been working with Ye Ling for ten years. Zhong Ran was a dark guardian. Seven years ago, when Ye Ling’s illness was at its most uncontrollable period, Luther ordered everyone to never go near the castle in the night.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the castle. Luther was not around, and there was only Zhong Ran in the control room alone.
He have always been observing Shen Qianshu secretly.
Other than being a man with few words in the day, there was nothing wrong with Ye Ling. Occasionally, he would read with Shen Qianshu and teach her about jewelry. Shen Qianshu was afraid of him but never hid from him. Sometimes when she mustered the courage to deal with him, she was like determined duckweed, very resilient and full of life, and that lit up the whole castle. With her around, Zhong Ran the dark guardian could have a good sleep.
When Ye Ling did not go insane, the matters would not be as disastrous in the night, and his urge to destroy would not be as overwhelming.
Whenever Ye Ling’s illness struck, no one went near the castle.
On the night that something went wrong, Zhong Ran was flirting with other girls. Back then, he was young and carefree. He was like a peacock showing off his skills to all the ladies when he was in Paris, the City of Love. That night, he was busy dating and sending the woman home. When he returned, the tragedy had already occurred.
He never thought that Shen Qianshu would remain in the castle.
For that, he was whipped by Ye Ling a hundred times which almost killed him.
From then on, Zhong Ran did not dare to leave and abandon his duties.
From then on, Shen Qianshu disappeared from Ye Ling’s life. Ye Ling’s illness worsened, and Zhong Ran suggested to Butler Luther on bringing Shen Qianshu back, as he felt that Shen Qianshu was the cure for Ye Ling’s illness.
Luther disagreed.
Ye Ling disagreed too. Following that, he insisted on going for treatment.
He had always been repulsed against being treated.
People with mental illnesses would never admit that they were ill.
When they accepted treatment, it would mean that they had admitted that they were ill.
These years, Zhong Ran knew more than anyone on how Ye Ling got through life. Now that Zhong Ran had the kindness of an old man like a father, he felt that things always had a happy ending and that their Master would always survive through everything. He felt that their Master always met happy endings.
Ye Ling walked over, and his face was cold as usual. In his eyes, there was that frosty feeling that never disappeared whether he was happy or mad. Zhong Ran could sense that he was in a rather good mood.
All of them went to the center of the museum. Along the way, they met Lu Mengxi who came over to greet them. Lu Mengxi was an appraiser from AG Jewelry who had great skills. Although her family pressured her and Ye Ling to get married, she never took any action. It was rumored that Ye Ling had a bad temper and was a man with the blood of iron who did not bother with sympathy. The Ye Ling that Lu Mengxi had expected to see was a man with strong build and a wickedly fierce face.
