Chapter 544 (2/2)

…

“Li Yue, you’re going out?”

Li Tianjun was looking for Li Yue only to realise she was preparing to head out just like any other day. However, how could he let her go? In these times?

“Yeah, I’m going out!” Li Yue did not seem to catch what Li Tianjun meant, so she nodded.

“Don’t you know what is happening right now? How could you go out? Stay at home!” said Li Tianjun immediately.

“What’s happening? Why can’t I go out?” asked Li Yue mildly.

His brows furrowed. “We don’t know when the Ye family’s thirteenth prince will appear again, who knows what other intentions he would have with you? It’s best you stay at home for a few days.”

“It would be even better if he shows up, aren’t you all prepared for that?” Li Yue was still speaking in a calm tone. After one night, she didn’t seem angry anymore.

However, that was because they did not know what had happened between them. If everyone knew all the things that had happened between Ye Lang and Li Yue, they would likely not think so.

Yeah, just ‘likely’- there was still a possibility!

“We are prepared, yes, but if you walk around outside, it would only weaken our preparations. And it might be unsafe for you,” said Li Tianjun.

“If I don’t walk around outside, won’t he just suspect that we are prepared?” said Li Yue.

“I don’t think so, you know how clueless he can be…” though Li Tianjun was sweating when he said that-- Ye Lang was only clueless sometimes.

“What if he suddenly becomes smart again?”

“Uh…” Li Tianjun had nothing to say.

“Father, you don’t have to worry, you know? Although he was lying to me, he would never do anything to harm me, he would never hurt me- at least not physically…” said Li Yue, though this time, there was a hint of resentment in her calm tone.

“You’re right though. Although the kid’s a bastard, he would not hurt you, it’s not him. Plus, we’re us, he would still give us face,” said Li Tianjun, nodding.

Regarding the possibility of Ye Lang hurting Li Yue- everyone was 100% sure that it was impossible.

Li Yue and Ye Lang were not enemies, plus he’d even tried to pursue her. With his personality, he would not do anything to her unless she intentionally provoked him.

“That is why, I will be fine,” said Li Yue, starting to step out of the door.
