My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 976 I Want to Go with You
Third Young Master Jun snapped back to reality and spoke indifferently, "He is my godfather, the one who baptized me when I was studying abroad."
"Did he come to visit you?" Ye Lu thought of the imposing old man she had seen earlier and couldn’t shake the feeling that his identity was extraordinary.
It was her sharp intuition, her sense of danger.
An ordinary old man would never have such dark eyes, utterly devoid of kindness, devoid of any flicker of emotion.
She detested the way he looked at her, as if he were viewing an item of no value.
"Hm, although our relationship isn’t great, I am still his godson. Hearing that I was injured, he came to visit," said Third Young Master Jun, not wanting to reveal the details of his godfather to Ye Lu.
Because it would inevitably lead to his own history, his dark past that he didn’t want her to know about. He didn’t want her to see him as a bloody go-between, a demon who had done countless evil deeds for the sake of profit.
Nor did he want her to know that the person he was going to harm next was Old Ling.
He knew she could never accept such a thing; Old Ling was Ling Yan’s grandfather, and Ling Yan was her friend. Yet, he was planning to kill the grandfather of her lifesaver.
He reached out, fondly took her hand, pulled her into his embrace and held her tight, his chin resting on the top of her head, caressing her slowly, his voice low and tender.
"I need to go back to my country, leaving tomorrow."
Ye Lu was taken aback, looking out at the blue sky and the green world, feeling an unexpected sense of reluctance.
Having lived in this place for over half a month, she had felt an urge to stay indefinitely, not because it was so beautiful or comfortable, but because... she felt that her days with him were good, without quarrels, without family strife, even blissful.
The thought of going back to face the complex struggles of the Jun Family, to face Gu Yan, to face many real problems, troubled her.
"Okay, I’ll pack my luggage in a bit," she said, resigned. The things she had to face would inevitably be confronted sooner or later. She didn’t want to shy away or escape. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Third Young Master Jun turned her head towards him, his previously cold eyes now faintly smiling, gently caressing her face.
"You don’t need to go back. Stay here and take good care of the baby. This place is comfortable and most suitable for prenatal care, and I’ll have peace of mind."
Whether it was her father back home or her godfather abroad, both wanted to harm her. There was also the previous assassination attempt. He had asked her why she was at the auction and why she had been pursued by Ivan’s people.
She simply said she was visiting the museum when she encountered Yiren committing a crime, so Yiren wanted to silence her.
A plausible reason, but he felt that she was hiding something.
He didn’t want to press, hoping she would come to tell him everything herself.
"You want me to stay here?" Ye Lu widened her eyes in protest, "I’ll go back with you. I don’t want to stay here alone."
She didn’t want him to go back alone, to face such a beastly father. Jun Shi and Gu Yan’s impatience would not settle easily. Moreover, he was far from recovered, having had surgery so recently. Hmph, this man didn’t know how to take care of himself at all. Without someone to look after him, he was bound to aggravate his injuries. And if Jun Shi and others took the opportunity to plot against him...
She thought, at the very least, no matter what happened, at least she would be by his side.
"No, you must stay," commanded Third Young Master Jun in a very chauvinistic tone.
"You..."
Seeing her displeased and angry expression, Third Young Master Jun’s demeanor immediately softened by half, and he hurriedly held her, coaxing her with a gentle voice.
