Chapter 243 - Donst Swing That Way (2/2)

"Although I'm quite good with ladies, I still don't want a wife for myself. Girls are noisy and their screeching voices are too much for this lord."

"Stop being so conceited! Even girls won't come near you otherwise."

"I don't want them to. Anyways, go away now! Your wife must have a million questions in her mind. The rest is up to you but don't you dare tell her that I'm a girl." Ru warned him.

"Why?" he knitted his brows.

"Well, your wife had a bit of crush on this lord once and I don't want that to go away."

"You! Narcissistic bastard!" Ye Jie knew that Ru only was messing with him. Her real reasons for hiding her gender were different.

"What can I do? This lord was born with such handsomeness." Ye Jie shook his head and hugged her tightly making her complain about being choked up. "Let's not fight again, okay?"

"You only have to remember that, 'A tongue might weigh little, but it can crush a man.' If you kept that in mind then we both won't have any fights in the future." Ye Jie tousled her dyed hair.

"Ru'er, your grandfather believes that you're alive." Ru was startled by his words.

"What?"

"He came to look for me again in hope that if you're alive than you'd definitely come to see me." Ye Jie told her.

"Don't be polite about it. I know grandfather must have kidnapped you again because he'd never come himself."

"He did. He came himself this time." Ye Jie answered. "You said you'll go back to your golden cage after looking for something."

"I will. I just haven't found what I'm looking for." Ru spoke in a serious voice losing her earlier playfulness.

"What are you looking for?"

"My memories!" Ru replied to his question and closed the door of the cabin again.

It was really weird. One might ask what was weird? Ye Jie would answer, their friendship. He met her accidentally. They had been through so much together and yet they never could break off their friendship.

He asked himself earlier in the night, 'Was he really a friend?' The answer was yes! He was the friend who saw his best friend in her most vulnerable state. He could never forget the time when he almost lost her right before his eyes. He was a friend who was asked to remind her that she was born as a leader.

He surely knew how to mess up everything and yet she always knew how to fix everything. He really was tired of lying to his own master that his dear 'grandson' Ru is dead. He was gonna sit inside the car when Ru opened the door again and shouted, "Mr. Ye Jie, don't take your sweet time in becoming Mr. Zhu Jie! It's about time for you to stop running." Ru closed the door shut and Ye Jie got inside the car to see Xu Mey fast asleep in her seat.

He covered her with a blanket and drove the car out of there.
