Chapter 89: 89. We are friends
Royal? Minister Ying narrowed his eyes and just nodded with an icy smile. "Don't worry about our people. Take care of your own mess. We are sincerely grateful to you for all you did for our Lady Ying. But that's it. Don't expect more."
With a strange smile, Wen Delun rose his eyebrow. "If I say this child is under my protection, I mean it. One day you will understand why I say this." Then just walked straight to the pouting child.
"Shu Ya. Its time for me to leave. Shall we eat something good tonight? I will leave by the first sunrise." He patted her head and saw her becoming serious. "I promise to come back one day. No... I promise we will see each other again. You earned yourself a friend for life."
She just smiled brightly. "I know. It took you time to admit it. Since we are friends, I hope you will finally talk to me. Alone in my office."
Her words were loud enough for everyone to hear it. Even children stopped playing as they saw the man bowing to her.
With a smile, she pinched the face of a girl that stood there astonished by the happenings. "Go play. I must work. Tomorrow I will come back. Will you play with me again?"
The kids agreed with cheer and as she was carried away by Mingli, they waved at her for a long time.
An old man came out and patted the girl's head. "Good child. She saved our lives and the best we can do is to give her a happy childhood. Play with her. She can't escape her destiny. At least her childhood should be happy."
The girl pouted. "Grandfather, does that mean she will have a hard life. But that is mean. She is a good person."
"People change. And she must stop being always good. When you grow up I'll send you to stay by her side to protect her. From tonight, you and your sisters must learn again. To protect her, she will need personal guards inside her room as well. About her future... Well, she will build her own. As long she is safe, we all will have a good life. Let's go."
Five girls out of the group of playing children and joined the small girl. They went into the main house and listened to the elder's words and teachings.
At the same time, Wen Delun and Shu Ya sat in her office and drank tea. He rose his eyebrow and sighed. "I'll miss this tea, the food and you."
Shu Ya chuckled. "I will stay here as I like it. The food, I'll give you a few recipes, so find a wife to cook for you. And the tea, I will give you some as a gift. Now tell me what is really going on? Or you plan to leave before telling me."
He had so many mysteries. buts he wanted to unravel only one. Who is he truly? Just a normal physician or really who she suspected? If that is true, how should she actually treat him form now on?
People of that kind are the ones she is trying to not go near. She chose to come to the Bai family for two reasons. To bring that fake ashes here and to find a new place to live as far as possible from those people.
If he is really one of them...
