The moment Leng Jun Yu left the Palace, he quickly got onto the horse carriage and stormed back to the number one medical clinic.

  Currently, all he could think about was whether the little guy was alright. Although he believed in Bai’s skills, Leng Jun Yu could not rest until he sees that “he” was truly fine.

  At this moment, Xing was sitting across from him in the carriage. He revealed a heavy bag and broke the silence.

  “Prince Rui, I found this bag earlier after dealing with those local gangsters. There’s a thousand silver taels and quite a lot of valuables in here. I am quite sure this is the reward that the Emperor and Dowager Empress gave Xiao Yao Zi. I’ll return it to him later.”


  Xing wasn’t lured by the huge amount. After all, as Prince Rui’s secret agent, money was not something he lacked. Plus, this money belonged to Xiao Yao Zi!

  Leng Jun Yu’s cold pupils flickered. When he saw the bundle of money, the conversation Le Yao Yao had with Xiao Mu Zi repeated in his mind.

  He recalled Xiao Yao Zi saying that he wanted to leave the residence. Leng Jun Yu was annoyed. Most likely, “he” carried so much money out because he wanted to deposit it into a bank.

  So he doesn’t feel secure in Ya Feng Ge?

  Or was he already planning to leave the moment his contract ends in three years?

  Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu’s face darkened and he reached over.

  Seeing this, Xing immediately handed the bag to Leng Jun Yu.

  He thought Leng Jun Yu wanted to personally return it to Le Yao Yao. Surprisingly, Leng Jun Yu paused for a long time and then commanded, “Don’t mention you found this to him.”


  “Eh?!”


  Mei and Xing looked at each other; shocked. But they didn’t say anything. At the end of the day, Leng Jun Yu was their boss. They do what they were ordered to.

  —–


  By the time Le Yao Yao woke up again, it was morning. After having such a long uninterrupted sleep, Le Yao Yao felt as if she was recharged ; even her injuries were hurting much less.

  Le Yao Yao slowly opened her eyes and stretched out her arms to stretch her lazy waist. That was her usual routine. Unexpectedly, she punched something and there was a grunt.

  Since Le Yao Yao was still drowsy, so she thought she punched Dongfang Bai. After all, last night, Dongfang Bai was beside her as he took care of her.

  Hence, she immediately apologized, “Sorry, brother Bai! Did I smack you in the face? I didn’t do it on purpose….eh…? It’s you?!”


  Le Yao Yao felt as if the thunder had struck. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was open like an “o”. A tiny bird could literally fly in.

  “You belong to this Prince. Who else did you think it was?”


  Leng Jun Yu’s voice was cold and his face was dark. The left side of his face was a bit red from Le Yao Yao’s punch.

  Last night, he rushed over and wanted to take “him” back to Ya Feng Ge. But since Le Yao Yao was sound asleep, he was afraid to wake up. As a result, Leng Jun Yu stayed overnight and took over Bai’s spot.

  He would’ve slept on the same bed as him if there was room, but the beds were designed for individuals only. So, Leng Jun Yu had to drop his noble status and rest by the bedside.

  However, it was extremely uncomfortable for him. It took a long time before he was able to fall asleep. Then, he felt pain on his cheek and knew he was punched.

  Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu’s face turned darker. Due to his lack of sleep, he glared at Le Yao Yao with scarlet eyes.

  Le Yao Yao was scared out of her wits. “P-P-Prince Rui….! Why are you here?”


  Seeing how Le Yao Yao was fine, Leng Jun Yu stood up and began to fix his crumpled robe. It was then Le Yao Yao realized that Leng Jun Yu was still wearing yesterday’s clothing.

  Without thinking, she asked, “Prince Rui, were you here the entire night?”


  “Humph. What do you think?”


  Last night, when she was at the verge of death, this man appeared and saved her. Now, she found out he stayed by her side the whole night. How could she not be touched? What did she do to deserve this? She was merely a little eunuch, while he was the almighty Prince Rui.

  “Prince Rui, thank you…” Le Yao Yao whispered. But since Leng Jun Yu was a martial artist, his ears were very sharp. Naturally, he heard Le Yao Yao.

  “If you want to thank this Prince, then make sure you get better as quickly as possible so you can serve me well.”


  “Um, Prince Rui, servant is fine now. Servant can serve you now.”


  Le Yao Yao attempted to scramble off the bed to indicate she was ok. But her legs turned numb and she lost balance. She was about to fall forward.

  Obviously, Le Yao Yao didn’t fall onto the hard, cold floor. She landed on a warm and broad chest. A strong arm was firmly holding onto her waist.

  “Be careful.”


  Leng Jun Yu’s low raspy voice entered her ears and Le Yao Yao knew she had lost face again. So, she tried to get out of Prince Rui’s arms immediately.

  But her injuries had not totally healed yet. The moment she got off the bed, she felt as if a cart had ran over her body. She tried to suppress the pain and her face turned white.

  “Go lay down! Look at you. You’re already so old but still clumsy like a child.” Leng Jun Yu lectured. However, concern could be heard in his voice.

  For some reason, Le Yao Yao was sore all over but she felt a sweetness overdose deep in her heart.

  “Prince Rui, servant is fine!”


  At this moment, Xing knocked on the door. He was responsible for helping Le Yao Yao prepare the medicine today.

  Since it was early morning, the medical clinic was very busy. Naturally, Dongfang Bai could not remain by Le Yao Yao’s side to take care of her. He had many other patients to see.

  So, Xing was assigned the task of preparing the medicine.

  “Eh? Xiao Yao Zi, you’re awake! Come, the medicine is ready!”


  “Thank you, Xing. Sorry for making you guys worry.”


  Le Yao Yao was very touched that Xing had personally helped her prepare the medicine. She politely smiled at him.

  Xing was only seventeen or so. He was stunned by Le Yao Yao’s gorgeous smile. But he only stared for a few seconds, because he could sense the killer aura of his master.

  Xing felt his scalp turning numb and quickly darted his eyes away from Le Yao Yao. He didn’t dare to look again as he handed the bowl to Le Yao Yao.

  But before Le Yao Yao could reach for it, midway, a big hand already took the bowl from Xing.

  “This Prince got it.”


  “Yes.”


  Then, Xing quickly stood off to the side.

  Le Yao Yao didn’t notice the awkward tension. The only thing that was on her mind was that Leng Jun Yu was planning to personally feed her medicine. She felt spoiled and valued.

  “P-Prince Rui, servant can do it on his own.”


  Leng Jun Yu’s mouth twitched and he placed the bowl of medicine on the low cupboard.

  “The medicine is too hot right now. Wait until it’s a bit cooler.”


  “Oh, okay. Thanks, Prince Rui.”


  “Oh yeah! Prince Rui, there’s something I want to know!” Suddenly, Le Yao Yao yelled.

  Both Xing and Leng Jun Yu looked over.

  “Yesterday, servant was planning to deposit the rewards that the Emperor and Dowager Empress had given servant. Servant was planning to use it in the future when he leaves the residence. But on servant’s way there, the local gangsters caught servant. Fortunately, Prince Rui saved servant’s life. Servant is very grateful, but servant was wondering if the Prince has seen my belongings?”


  Le Yao Yao gazed at Leng Jun Yu with hope in her eyes. She looked like a cute pitiful puppy. She didn’t even blink.

  “He” said he was planning to deposit the money for future use?!

  As expected, he still wanted to leave him. That thought had never changed.

  Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu’s face darkened and he pursed his lips, “I haven’t seen it.”


  “Ahh….?”


  Instantly, Le Yao Yao’s face crumpled. Her head drooped and she looked crestfallen. So she had no idea that Xing’s mouth was twitching on the side…
