Chapter 4: Being Reborn (3)
Ye Qingtang opened his eyes in confusion. He felt the attention and warmth from Ye Ling's worried gaze.
Yeah, thought.
Why should he bother with that bastard? He should only protect the people who take care of him in this life.
“Dad, I'll get dressed soon. You can go first. ” Ye Qingtang smiled slightly.
…
A tall and handsome man was sitting on a chair in the Ye family hall. Beside him was a beautiful and graceful girl.
"Mr Lang, about the things we will discuss today ..." The girl frowned slightly. He pursed his lips revealing his worries.
After seeing the pretty expression on the girl's face, Duan Tianrao who was sitting there would inevitably raise his hand to cover his white hand.
“Xun Er, you don't need to worry. I'll be here for you.” Duan Tianrao's voice was very gentle as he comforted the girl.
Ye Xun was an orphan adopted by Ye Ling at a very young age. She had been raised by the Ye family ever since she was a baby. 16 years had passed, and even though she was an adopted daughter, she was, she still received the same education as the other daughters of the Ye family growing up. Her appearance was not inferior to the other princesses of the Ye family.
Ye Xun's beauty was the reason why she was able to attract Duan Tianrao's attention.
Ye Xun lowered her eyes filled with sadness and anxiety.
“I am indebted to Ye family for raising me. I'm afraid this matter might..”.
Duan Tianrao was very sad to see how anxious Ye Xun was.
She held her hand tightly and said, “Xun Er, you are the adopted daughter of the Ye family, and it is true that you owe them. However, our problem has nothing to do with that gratitude. Rest assured. I'll be there for you no matter what.”
At that moment, Ye Ling walked into the hall. Ye Xun and Duan Tianrao immediately let go of each other's hands. Duan Tianrao stood up and greeted Ye Ling.
“Uncle Ye.”
"Dad." Ye Xun also stood up.
Ye Ling only nodded slightly and looked towards Duan Tianrao in front of him.
Ye Qingtang was Ye Ling's only daughter. He had a weak body from the moment he was born. He was even ashamed of himself for his birthmark. Therefore, it had always been Ye Ling's greatest aspiration to find a husband who would take care of her daughter.
Lin Town had, in total, three great family clans. Apart from the Ye family, the Duan family and the Si family were the other two great family clans. The marriage alliance with the Duan family was based on equal social status, and Ye Ling would be relieved to hand Ye Qingtang over to Duan Tianrao because Tianrao was taking care of Qingtang the entire time.
“Tianrao, Tang Tang is still dressing up. He'll be here soon. Wait a minute.” Ye Ling smiled.
A trace of unease appeared in Duan Tianrao's eyes, but he did not show anything on his face. He exchanged glances with Ye Xun beside him secretly.
"There's no need to rush" he said, smiling.
He then nodded towards the servant beside him. The waiter immediately placed some well-decorated boxes onto the table beside Ye Ling.
“I heard that Tang Tang's spirit root broke, weakening him. So, I prepared some tonics including Hunyuan Pill that would help Tang Tang regain his strength. The pills are very effective in terms of healing power. ” Duan Tianrao spoke softly.
“Pil Hunyuan is hard to find. I'll look for them, but you've brought them. I'm so relieved to see you really love her.” Ye Ling was pleased.
"This is expected of the fiancee," Duan Tianrao said humbly.
Seriate....
