Chapter 386 Brother, I Like You 13

"Miss Chao, where do you get the food on your table?"

Guard Qin stared at Chao Yao intently, wishing he could stare a hole through her.

"I went to the kitchen to get it myself."

Chao Yao continued to eat nonchalantly, and after swallowing a mouthful, he slowly replied.

"Miss Chao, our patrols have always been very strict. How did he escape from under our noses?"

"Of course I have my own way. Don't worry, she won't do anything to you. Go and report this to Ruo Fufeng later. He will protect you."

Guard Qin felt relieved when he thought that Chao Yao came back with the eldest young master today.

Especially when I saw Chaoyao's face and figure, I believed it even more.

Just based on Chao Yao's looks and figure, any man would be so fascinated by her that he would forget his own name.

"Thank you Miss Chao."

Guard Qin was not an ungrateful person. He quickly thanked him and left.

Madam Wu should be here soon, so he has to hurry up to find the eldest young master.

Seeing that he was so tactful, Chao Yao didn't say anything else.

If the cook in Ruo's family is very good, the food will taste very good and she can eat two bowls of rice with the meat.

Liuxiang's speed could not keep up with Guard Qin. If Fufeng returned home today, the Ruo family would make an exception and have a family dinner together that evening.

And the people attending the dinner must include Wu Shier.

"Tingfeng, try this crispy beef. It was just shipped from the grasslands of Mobei and was slaughtered this afternoon."

Wu Shier spoke gently and with a smile on her face, and also cut the beef into thin slices for Ruo Tingfeng.

Ruo Fufeng simply picked up the food she had cut and put it in her mouth and ate it in one bite.

"My dad is disabled, so even a piece of beef has to be cut by you?"

Listening to Ruo Fufeng's mocking words, Wu Shier was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, as if he was watching an ignorant child throwing a tantrum: "Do you like this beef, Fufeng? I'll cut some more for you."

Ruo Fufeng watched this scene and scolded him, "What's wrong with Shi Er feeling sorry for me because I was busy outside all day and taking care of me? You bastard, why don't you speak in a sarcastic way every day? What did I teach you? Did you read all the books you learned after going to the academy?"

Ruo Fufeng threw the chopsticks directly at Wu Shier and sneered.

"A slave is actually qualified to sit at the same table with me to eat. What, is it wrong for me to order a slave around?"

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and an awkward atmosphere spread quietly. Then, Wu Shier's eyes gradually turned red, like petals kissed by dew in the morning light, with unspoken fragility and sadness.

The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to restrain something, but in the end she could not resist the surging emotions in her heart.

Suddenly, she seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, her pace quickened involuntarily, and with a determined and helpless air, she rushed towards Ruo Tingfeng.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down and everything around them became blurry, except for the space between Wu Shier and Ruo Tingfeng, which was clear and urgent.

She threw herself into Ruo Tingfeng's arms. There was no hesitation in her movements, only full of dependence and release.

Her face was pressed against his chest, and at this moment her tears finally burst out, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto his lapels, each drop carrying unspeakable grievances and deep affection.

Her voice, through her choked throat, was a little hoarse and trembling, like the gentlest star in the night sky, shining with an imperceptible light: "Tingfeng, I... I am not a slave!"

Ruo Fufeng was so angry that he almost laughed when he saw this scene, and he wanted to give Wu Shier a thumbs up.

No wonder he can still take root in the Ruo family at this age. Just relying on his means, he can easily win over Ruo Tingfeng.

"Shi Er, don't be angry, you are not a slave, you are mine. Don't be angry, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Feeling the slight and trembling body in his arms, Ruo Tingfeng's dissatisfaction in his heart instantly disappeared, and was replaced by an indescribable heartache and pity.

He gently tightened his arms, as if he wanted to use this embrace to give her the most solid support and dispel all her anxiety and sorrow.

At this moment, she was the only one in his eyes. His deep care and love were like the warm sunshine in spring, gently wrapping her and giving her endless comfort and strength.

"Woo woo... Tingfeng, if only I had met you earlier, even earlier. I wouldn't have been displaced outside, and wouldn't have suffered so many grievances. You would definitely protect me, let me be yours for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't have been bullied by others!"

Ruo Tingfeng comforted Wu Shier, and looked at Ruo Fufeng with a look of disappointment.

"Son, your Aunt Wu is not a slave of our family. She has suffered a lot of grievances outside. I can protect her from some of the wind and rain. I volunteered to do it. She has managed our Ruo family for these years. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. What's more, she has managed the Ruo family very well. Don't say anything more."

After all, he is his only son. Even if he is angry about the rumor, he will not really do anything.

He has no other roots.

"Shut up, you guys can eat this meal or not, if not I'll leave. I won't come over again if she's at the table!"

Ruo Fufeng kicked the chair and was about to leave, but at this moment, Guard Qin asked someone to inform.

When Wu Shier heard this, she immediately thought of Chao Yao.

Guard Qin was in Chaoyao's yard, so it was impossible for him to leave without any reason, so something must have happened.

This bitch, why is she causing trouble for herself everywhere!

I really want to throw her out as soon as possible!

If Fufeng vaguely heard Guanyueyuan, he would stop walking out.

"Meet the Patriarch, meet the Young Master."

Guard Qin knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together.

"What's the matter?"

Ruo Tingfeng gently pushed Wu Shier away, helped her sit down, and then asked slowly.

Guard Qin raised his head slightly, looked at Wu Shier, and then said, "Master, just now Madam Wu asked me to take 62 people to guard Miss Chao's Moon Viewing Courtyard, and ordered that Miss Chao should not be allowed to get any food or water. But for some reason, Miss Chao got food right under our noses and ate it alone in the hall."

When Wu Shier heard this, a look of shock flashed across his face, and his expression was like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

However, she quickly realized her emotional fluctuations and was afraid that others would notice, so she quickly lowered her head with drooping eyelids, as if she was staring intently at the dust under her feet, but in fact she was cleverly concealing the waves in her heart.

This series of movements were smooth and natural, as if it was a self-protection mechanism she had developed over a long period of time, and was displayed to the fullest without her noticing.
