Chapter 33 Part 1

The courtyard was quiet. Occasionally, the wind blew past them. Ye Shen knew that her thoughts were only filled with worry about her father and brother. Thus, he stared at her and secretly gritted his teeth but did not speak.

The atmosphere froze at once. Xiao Youning was stared at by him like she was defeated in battle due to her lack of ability. She thought about it and tentatively asked, “Fifth master… Was what I said impolite and it offended you?”

She was careful, and then blinked when she finished speaking. Usually, her peach blossom eyes were attractive, but each blink showed an unspeakable grievance.

Ye Shen felt heavy pounding at his temples.

She thought he was innocent, so wouldn’t he make her suffer from an injustice if he gave her the wrong information as he yearned for her?

Unfortunately, women were made of water. Their waves had the power to destroy mountains and shake the earth. The little girl in front of Ye Shen just blinked and while he did not see tears, she destroyed his hard heart first.

“No. Let’s have a meal.”

He let her go and led the way to the main room. In the end, he didn’t bother to blame her, and even if he did want to, he could not bear seeing her feel wronged.

It was just like when they were young. She bit him and cried first. He had to coax her.

Perhaps their fate had been tied at that moment, and since it was like that, he concerned himself so much about what to do with her. If she was really angered by how he previously concealed his identity and did not want to like him, then he would try again from the beginning.

He didn’t believe that an affectionate and intelligent little girl like her couldn’t tell the difference between sincerity and hypocrisy.

Ye Shen’s disposition completely changed in the blink of an eye and Xiao Youning stood in place in a daze.

Eat? Then why was he so angry?

Ye Shen took a few steps and realized that the little girl was standing there foolishly. He turned back, held her hand and took her inside. “What is it? Do you still want to be a fairy who drinks dew?”

Xiao Youning knew that he had nice hands with slender fingers and elegant joints. Now that her hand was being held by his, she realized that his hand was so big that it could completely wrap around hers. It was so warm.

Xiao Youning was led by him. Her first reaction was unexpectedly some trivial thought running wild. When they entered the room, he let go of her hand. It was only then that she belatedly realized how intimate they were just then.

Her ears turned silently red. She stood at the round table where she had just fallen asleep and didn’t even know what to do with her hands.

No matter what, she was embarrassed right now. She saw Jian Yin and Yuan Guo, who were also embarrassed, behind the screen just now

Fifth Master Ye showed a soft and gentle side. If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, then who would dare to believe it?

Yuan Guo was going to rush in after she stood there in shock. No matter what Ye Shen thought, her Young Miss couldn’t hold hands with him just because he wanted to. He… isn’t he being like Dengtu Zi1?

She couldn’t believe the Daoist Priest had those kinds of thoughts about her Young Miss!

This was even more shocking than when she knew that Wu Ye was Fifth Master Ye.

Fortunately, Jian Yin had sharp eyes and quick hands to think about taking her away. He had previous experiences in fighting with her, so he reached out, covered her unforgiving mouth and dragged her out of the courtyard.

His Fifth Master wanted to fall in love! How could he let this ignorant little maid make trouble!

Xiao Youning did not know that her maid had been dragged away silently. From time to time, she looked up to see the already seated Ye Shen. She was still uncomfortable and a little confused.

He was angry before, but then he led her here to have a meal. Did the intimate act come from his mentality as an elder? It was like when he patted her on the head.

Xiao Youning’s mind was a mess. She had to force herself to be composed and simply put these feelings of worry aside.

Since she could stay, it meant that she could still discuss her father and brother.

The courage from that day, when she had shouted at the gates of Li Residence, emerged again. She sat down in front of Ye Shen. Although she was still looking down, she could more or less speak.

“Fifth Master, can you talk about my father and brother’s matter now?”

As the little girl spoke, she glanced at him timidly. She was a newly married wife who did not dare to make any decisions and had to let her husband do it.

Ye Shen held the tea with one hand and was amused by her appearance and his own thoughts. His anger dissipated completely.

When he didn’t make a sound, he saw that she quickly looked up at him nervously. He found it really amusing, but he couldn’t keep her worried all the time.
