Lin Fengxuan!
Ye Ming absolutely did not expect to find news related to Lin Fengxuan here.
When Du Yuemian saw the token in Ye Ming's hand, her expression also showed shock. "This is... the Dragon Gate General's Token?"
"Dragon Gate General's Token?"
Ye Ming was a little confused.
"Let's leave here first!"
Du Yuemian glanced at the people around and said softly.
"Let's go!"
As Ye Ming prepared to take Du Yuemian's hand to leave, the latter stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Ming asked.
"Wait for me!"
Du Yuemian did not answer him but lowered her head and ran into the kitchen of the shop.
Seeing this, Ye Ming was bewildered.
Not long after, he saw Du Yuemian with a blushing face, carrying a takeout box, walking over.
"Let's... let's go!"
Du Yuemian did not dare to meet Ye Ming's eyes. She pulled his arm and walked outside.
It seemed that our Miss Yuemian was a little reluctant to part with that special "couple's meal."
...
In a park pavilion, a young couple watched the children playing not far away, ate the food from the takeout boxes on the table, and their lips curved into sweet smiles.
Although the food was a little cold, their hearts were warm.
"The taste is indeed good!"
Ye Ming picked up a dessert shaped like a heart, which had been specially made, and placed it near Du Yuemian's mouth, commenting with a smile.
Looking at the food near her mouth, Du Yuemian suppressed her shyness and slightly opened her small mouth, taking the dessert filled with love into her mouth.
This scene was enough to melt the hearts of many.
Looking at the beauty before him, whose cheeks were flushed, he also picked up a piece of dessert and savored it.
"Mmm! So sweet!"
However, at this moment, whether he was referring to the food or hinting at the person was unclear.
Within a few minutes, the remaining food on the table was wiped out by the two of them, "you take a bite," "I take a bite."
After eating their fill, Du Yuemian lay comfortably in Ye Ming's arms like a lazy cat. She closed her eyes, thoroughly enjoying everything.
"So nice!"
The golden sunlight sprinkled on her exceptionally beautiful face, as if adorning her with a golden veil, making her even more radiant and captivating.
Looking at the person quietly in his arms, all of Ye Ming's emotions slowly emptied. At this moment, he could forget his identity and his mission.
To be an ordinary couple, just like the beauty in his arms.
This feeling... felt good!
The two sat in the sunlight for another three hours. They watched the setting sun side by side, leaning on each other, cherishing this moment of peaceful time.
"Young Master! Thank you!"
Leaning on Ye Ming's shoulder, Du Yuemian felt a sense of security she had never felt before.
"Yuemian! Don't call me Young Master anymore. If others hear this address, they'll think..."
"No! I really like calling you this!"
Before he could finish speaking, Du Yuemian interrupted him. She turned her head and said softly, "I don't care what others think of me. I only know that you will always be my Young Master. And I, Du Yuemian..." She caressed Ye Ming's face, her red lips parting slightly:
"Will also belong to... Young Master, forever!"
As her voice fell, she slightly leaned up, her arms wrapping around his neck, offering her feelings, her intentions, her... love.
This kiss between them was not as passionate. All their movements were gentle and quiet, so quiet that it felt as if only they existed in the world.
...
Upon returning to the Du family, Du Guidao looked at the two with their fingers intertwined, his eyes filled with relief.
"Young man Ye! I'm entrusting Yuemian to you, old man!" he said, patting Ye Ming's shoulder with a smile.
Du Tianen was also beside Du Guidao.
He was naturally very pleased with the prospective son-in-law.
"Grandpa Du! Uncle! Please don't worry! As long as I, Ye Ming, am here, no one will be able to harm Yuemian one bit!"
Ye Ming said solemnly to the two elders.
"Hahaha! Good!"
Du Guidao nodded and waved his hand. "Go on!"
A moment later, he watched the two young figures leave, the smile on his lips deepening.
"Dad! What kind of person is this Ye Ming! How can he possess such terrifying strength at such a young age?"
Du Tianen voiced his greatest question.
"Who he is doesn't matter! What matters is, as long as he is sincere towards our girl, that's enough!" Du Guidao said earnestly, looking at a ball of light Ye Ming had given him before leaving.
"That's right!"
Du Tianen also noticed the ball of light and asked curiously, "Dad! Ye Ming specifically told us not to reveal any information from it before he left. I wonder what it could be! That makes him so cautious?"
After contemplating for a while, Du Guidao said, "Let's go! To my study!"
At this moment, Du Guidao had no idea that the information in the ball of light would subvert his worldview.
He also would not have imagined that after mastering that information, the Du family in the provincial capital would soar to become a top clan in China.
...
After leaving the Du family, Ye Ming had originally planned to tear open a spatial channel and take Du Yuemian back to the three places of Minghai.
But for some reason, he changed his mind midway.
"Come out!"
Ye Ming said calmly.
And Du Yuemian beside him did not seem surprised by this statement.
Because even she had sensed the person hiding in the shadows.
"Mr. Ye! Long time no see!"
In front of the two, a beautiful woman with gentle manners but deep eyes walked out.
The person was none other than the actual helmsman of the Zhong family—Li Zhirou.
"Your news is quite well-informed!"
Ye Ming did not seem surprised by Li Zhirou's appearance.
On the contrary, it was within his expectations.
"It's not that my news is well-informed, but that Mr. Ye wanted me to know you were here!" Li Zhirou always wore a gentle smile, and no one seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.
"Since parting ways in the capital, Madam's words have become even more pleasant to hear."
Ye Ming smiled.
Regarding Li Zhirou, Ye Ming actually held a very high evaluation in his heart.
Especially after their conversation that day, upon learning about what had happened to her, he felt a hint of... admiration for this woman.
Yes! Admiration.
This shows how extraordinary someone must be to elicit such an attitude from Ye Ming.
It was just a pity that Li Zhirou's experiences had also been ruined by her monstrous talent.
From a certain perspective, Li Zhirou shared many common traits with Fang Junxue.
One could even say that when facing certain injustices of fate, Li Zhirou's final resolution was even better than Fang Junxue's.
At least, she preserved herself.
Therefore, when seeing Li Zhirou, Ye Ming would occasionally think of Fang Junxue subconsciously.
These two... were simply too alike.
