During all these years, his companionship with her had been enough to prove his feelings.
"Alright."
Gu Ruoyun opened her eyes again at that thought and gazed at the man's peerless features as she replied with a determined look in her eye.
Qianbei Ye smiled.
This smile was far more beautiful than any other smile he had shown in the past. It made Gu Ruoyun's heart jolt in a strange manner. She unconsciously recalled their first meeting.
She could never forget the peerlessly beautiful man who had lain motionless in that cold, icy coffin. Nor could she forget the unexpected glimpse she had of his lithe body. Perhaps, at that time, Gu Ruoyun would never have expected that this man, who had lost his memories, would forever hold a genuine concern for her years later.
Qianbei Ye scooped Gu Ruoyun up into his arms and gently lay her down on the bed. His fingers stroked the woman's face and the typically gloomy, bloodthirsty look on his face has completely disappeared, replaced with a sense of tenderness.
"Dearest daughter, I've forgotten to mention one more thing..."
Thud!
At that moment, a hand had pushed the bedroom door open. Instantly, Qianbei Ye felt as if a pail of ice-cold water had just been dumped on his head, causing his peerlessly beautiful face to turn as black as the bottom of a cauldron. His now very dark face glared at the doorway.
Grand Lord Hong Lian was completely shocked when he entered the room. He instinctively took two steps back and mumbled awkwardly, "You two, continue, continue."
However, once he had stepped out from the room, he immediately sensed that something was not right. After a short pause, he quickly returned to his senses, kicked the door open in one swift move and roared angrily, "Damned brat, what were you going to do to my precious daughter?"
Qianbei Ye curled the corners of his lips and stared at Grand Lord Hong Lian indifferently, "I'm doing whatever you've just seen."
"You..." Grand Lord Hong Lian nearly went mad with rage. This damned brat has the audacity to fool around with my precious daughter?
He's even had the audacity to press my dearest daughter's body beneath him!
"Xiao Ye," Gu Ruoyun's face was as red as a beetroot. She shot a glare at Qianbei Ye, "What are you waiting for? Get off!"
"As you command, Wife."
Qianbei Ye curled his lips into a smile and obediently got down from the bed. However, his mesmerizing features still remained as black as the bottom of a cauldron.
It has not been easy for him to convince Gu Ruoyun to agree to this matter yet he never expected for his plan to be foiled by his future father-in-law in the end. Of course, if this had been anyone else, he would probably ensure that they would never leave this room again 1 .
"Father, what are you doing here?" Gu Ruoyun felt slightly awkward. She had not expected her father to come and look for her again at this hour either.
"Actually, Xiao Ye isn't to blame for this, it was me..."
She was terrified that Grand Lord Hong Lian would blame Qianbei Ye so she attempted to explain in his stead. However, it only served to bring a higher surge of acid in Grand Lord Hong Lian's heart.
My daughter has indeed grown up and now belongs with another. I haven't even done anything to that damned brat yet she's already backing him up!
"Hmph." Grand Lord Hong Lian scoffed irritably. Nevertheless, when he turned to face Gu Ruoyun, his grim gaze softened once again, "It's really nothing much, I have the organizational chart that details the division of power in the First City. I had forgotten to pass it to you so I've come back to hand it over. This is the result of my many years of investigation."
As he spoke, Grand Lord Hong Lian placed a sheet of paper in front of Gu Ruoyun as he glared at Qianbei Ye. He then turned his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun again.
"Yun'er, earlier on, this damned brat had mentioned to me that you've already committed the intimacies of the flesh. Is this true?"
Intimacies of the flesh?
Gu Ruoyun stared at Qianbei Ye in shock. When she saw the cunning smile on his face, she rubbed her nose and was rendered completely speechless.
