Chapter 370
After Luo Shuiyao briefly explained the situation to the Right Prime Minister's wife, she looked at Du Lingfeng, who had been standing silently by the side, staring at them, and said guiltily, "Brother, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Du Lingfeng did not respond, his eyes still staring at Luo Shuiyao, his lips slightly opening and closing, but he didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, the Right Prime Minister's wife hurried out to smooth things over: "Your brother is just too worried about you. He's not very good with words and doesn't know what to say. Don't take it to heart. It's getting late. How about you stay at the Prime Minister's residence today? Mother will send someone to your house to let them know. You can stay here peacefully and go back tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Luo Shuiyao felt increasingly guilty, worried that Du Lingfeng would be traumatized by what happened today. After all, he had finally left home. So she nodded and said, "Then Yaoyao will stay at the Right Prime Minister's residence today. Please make arrangements, mother."
Hearing that she was willing to stay, the Right Prime Minister's wife's smile deepened: "Okay, mother will arrange it right away! Ling'er, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why don't you take your sister in?"
Seeing her mother so happy, Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but curl her lips. As usual, she reached out to grab Du Lingfeng's sleeve, but Du Lingfeng gently raised his sleeve to avoid her. Luo Shuiyao was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Du Lingfeng had avoided her touch in such a long time. Was he really angry?
But the next moment, Du Lingfeng grabbed her wrist through her clothes.
Luo Shuiyao stared at her wrist being held without saying anything for a moment. At this time, Du Lingfeng spoke, his voice as awkward as usual: "Sister, little brother, hold your hand!"
Everyone present knew Du Lingfeng well. Luo Shuiyao pondered for a moment and understood what he meant. He felt that he had been separated from the crowd because he was young and hadn't held his hand properly, and now he wanted to hold his hand in return.
Looking into Du Lingfeng's pure, dark eyes, Luo Shuiyao, who was much older than him mentally, unconsciously thought of Du Lingfeng as a younger brother. Her eyes softened, and she began to laugh, "Then you have to hold my hand tightly, brother. Don't lose me in the future."
"Yeah." Du Lingfeng nodded obediently. He didn't quite understand the teasing in her words. He just looked into her eyes seriously and nodded.
He didn't understand, but everyone else present understood. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud. Du Lingfeng glanced around at everyone with a puzzled look. He didn't understand what everyone was laughing at, and he didn't bother to think about it. He pulled Luo Shuiyao and walked towards the mansion, saying, "Sister, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
"Okay, let's go to bed now." Luo Shuiyao was pulled by him, and she followed him, letting him lead her and responding.
The two figures disappeared at the door together. The Right Prime Minister's wife looked at her two children with tender eyes. The Right Prime Minister could not hide his smile, stroking his beard constantly, his eyes full of satisfaction. He had noticed before that his son had been more talkative and lively recently, and now it seemed to be true.
But then, he sensed a cold breath coming from beside him. He blinked and turned his head, only to see Ye Yunzhou with a gloomy face, staring at the door, his lips tightly pursed, not saying a word.
The Right Prime Minister pondered for a moment, then understood why he was acting this way. For some reason, a certain schadenfreude of gloating welled up within him. He had assumed this boy always had an expressionless, wooden face, but he hadn't expected him to display such a different expression, and it was all because of his own foolish son. It was rare for his son to cause Ye Yunzhou to experience such emotional fluctuations, and the Right Prime Minister felt strangely pleased. A hint of mockery slipped into his eyes.
Ye Yunzhou naturally noticed the Right Prime Minister's gaze and glanced back at him coldly, but his heart was filled with helplessness. After all, he was determined to marry Luo Shuiyao, and the man in front of him would be his father-in-law in the future. Even if he was unhappy, he could only accept it and let him tease him like this.
As expected, seeing Ye Yunzhou's helpless expression, the Right Prime Minister felt even more relieved. This kid was just like his father, always cold-hearted and sullen. He had often run into trouble with them before. But now, he had a wonderful daughter. Yaoyao was such a satisfying child.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his decision to recognize Luo Shuiyao as his daughter was absolutely correct. When he thought that one day in the future, Ye Yunzhou and his son would have to ask him for help, the Right Prime Minister became even more proud, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.
The Right Prime Minister's mood swings were so dramatic that even his wife noticed something was amiss. She glanced suspiciously at her husband, then at Ye Yunzhou. Having known the Right Prime Minister for years, she understood a bit of what was going on. Then, amused, she pinched his arm.
The Right Prime Minister felt the pain and quickly put away the smile on his face, pretending to be calm, but the twitching corners of his mouth still revealed that he was enduring the pain.
The Right Prime Minister's wife turned to Ye Yunzhou and nodded, saying, "Young Master Ye, it's getting late today. Would you like to stay at the mansion for one night?"
Her words were merely polite, and Ye Yunzhou could hear it. Besides, he had a lot of things to deal with every night these days, so he naturally wouldn't stay. Furthermore, if he stayed here and happened to see Du Lingfeng and Luo Shuiyao being intimate again, he would be asking for trouble.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. Why did he think of finding the Right Prime Minister as a backer for Luo Shuiyao in the first place? It wasn't like he didn't have other options. Now, he really shot himself in the foot.
Ye Yunzhou shook his head and refused, "Thank you, auntie. I still have some things to take care of, so I'll go back now." Then he turned around and said goodbye to the right prime minister.
With his wife standing by, the Right Prime Minister didn't dare to make fun of Ye Yunzhou anymore and could only nod.
The couple watched Ye Yunzhou leave and drove away in his carriage. The Right Prime Minister's wife glared at him and said angrily, "You are already old, and you are still arguing with a child? Aren't you ashamed?"
The Right Prime Minister touched his nose, ignored Chun Tao, Chun Xing, the housekeeper and others who were laughing secretly, and followed his wife into the mansion.
…………
Ye Yi and the others sat dejectedly in a row under the eaves of the Yinlong Division. When they saw Ye Yunzhou driving in in a carriage, they quickly put away their depressed mood and greeted him with a smile.
They avoided each other's gazes and said "Welcome back, Inspector General" but they all looked inside the car unconsciously.
Ye Yunzhou got off the carriage, not wanting to bother with these guys who were more likely to cause trouble than help. However, after a glimpse of their ulterior motives, he paused, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze swept over them like an eagle.
Seeing his sharp gaze, everyone smiled awkwardly and took two steps back, not daring to get close.
Ye Yunzhou frowned, subconsciously glancing towards the carriage. Remembering how Luo Shuiyao had refused to sit in the carriage the entire journey, and seeing the strange appearances of the people before him, he suddenly felt doubtful. He approached suspiciously and pulled back the curtain. The next moment, the scene inside the carriage left him stunned.
