48 Who Are They? (1/2)

Yao Ying followed Wang Luo Hai's suggestion and went home early. He made sure he 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 had something in mind.

He went behind her and touched her shoulder softly. Yao Ling 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.

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.”

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

”They look so perfect.”

”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 one that liked to show off her skinship, but she needed Yao Ying reassurance at the moment. She just wanted to feel his warmth.

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 know?”

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 get our 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.

Yao Ying smiled at her cute face. Oh, how he enjoyed looking at her pouty lips! ”I didn't want to make you feel worried. This is also one of the reasons why I want to become stronger. However, judging from this, I think I need to speed up my plan.”
