Chapter 48 - Who Are They? (1/2)

Yao Ying followed Wang Luo Hai's suggestion and went home early. He made sure that he had finished everything and went to the production room to find Yao Ling. When he found her, he smiled and wanted to call her right away, but he could see a slight frown on her beautiful face. What Wang Luo Hai said was true! Yao Ling really had something in mind.

Yao Ying went behind her and touched her shoulder softly. Yao Ying could smell the usual sweet fragrance of his little wife and it made him feel calm and comfortable. ”Wife…” He called softly.

Yao Ling jumped in surprise and turned around in a quick move. ”Hus… husband!” She stuttered, still feeling astonished. She could feel her own fast heartbeat started to calm down, after knowing it was only Yao Ying. Her paranoia really got the better of her.

Yao Ying looked at her in concern. He could feel something was amiss and whatever bothered her was pretty serious. ”Are you okay?”

”I… I'm okay.” Yao Ling couldn't possibly say anything in front of a lot of people. Her gaze traced the whole room and she smiled reassuringly to everyone. She took Yao Ying's right hand and tugged it softly, ”Come on. Let's go home! I just don't feel good.” Then she whispered softly, ”I'll tell you later.”

Yao Ying nodded in understanding. The couple went out hand in hand, making the embroiderers –which were mostly women- feel envious. They looked at the diminishing silhouette of the couple and they could see how they were perfectly complementing each other. The man had a tall and slightly muscular body, while the woman had a petite and slim body. Their long hair flew along with the wind, making them look like a beautiful painting from behind.

”They look so perfect together.”

”Yes. Not only that, look at how close and romantic they are!”

”They look so sweet!”

If Yao Ling heard those comments, she would probably blush in embarrassment. She wasn't a woman that liked to show off her skinship, but she really needed Yao Ying reassurance at the moment. She just wanted to feel his warmth, basking on the safety feeling that he offered.

On their way back, Yao Ling could sense they were being followed once again. She naturally made a guess that it was still the same guy. ”Husband… do you feel something amiss?” Yao Ling wanted to make sure that she was just paranoid.

”Is this the thing that makes you worried?”

Yao Ling looked at him in surprise. ”Yes. Do you also realize it?”

Yao Ying nodded and whispered to her, ”Smile… don't look so stiff or they will know that we've noticed their presence.”

Yao Ling quickly composed her mood and smiled at Yao Ling. Xiao Yu and Xiu trailed behind them. They didn't notice anything different, only felt that somehow their masters were quite romantic unlike usual. They couldn't hear what their masters' whispering about, so they just enjoyed following their master while looking around.

”Do you know who they are?” Yao Ling asked.

”No. I think they are trying to understand our daily routine.”

”How do you know?” Yao Ling looked at him alarmed, although she was still smiling.

”I notice that they've been following us for a few days,” Yao Ying explained.

”Why didn't you tell me before?” Yao Ling pouted.
