“Dad, Mom! Why is Shen Yunshen’s room empty? Did he move out?” Shen Qingqiu shouted, quickly calling over Shen Xuechang and Kong Fengyi.
Even Lin Ruoxi and Xia Anran were stunned as they stared at the empty room, their hearts clenching involuntarily. Where was Shen Yunshen? Did he really move out?
All three of them could vaguely sense that this time, Ye Yunshen’s departure was not like before. They all felt tightness in their chests, a suffocating pressure.
Cheng Zewen also stood at the door, dumbfounded. But the next moment, a faint, barely noticeable sneer crept onto his face. Internally, he laughed uncontrollably.
It seemed Ye Yunshen had finally left! His guess was right—Ye Yunshen had been utterly heartbroken by the three daughters! His plan was working perfectly! Now, as long as he found another person with a matching blood type, he could give Ye Yunshen a swift death.
Shen Qingqiu was about to ask more when Shen Xuechang and Kong Fengyi’s expressions turned even more bitter, like swallowing a mouthful of bitterness with no way to speak out. They felt awful! Ye Yunshen had left, yet they couldn’t tell their daughter the truth!
Shen Yunshen’s importance to the Shen family went without saying. He was down-to-earth, diligent, and never complained. Not only that, but he was well-versed in both business and politics. No matter which path he took in the future, he would bring great benefits to the Shen family.
The Ye family abandoning him was their loss! Spending 1 billion yuan to save Yunshen’s life back then had been worth it. But now… sigh!
Looking at the sickly Cheng Zewen standing behind Shen Qingqiu, Shen Xuechang felt as if countless bloody holes were being gouged into his heart.
“Dad, say something! Did Shen Yunshen move out? How dare he? He even dared to leave? Has he forgotten who saved his life?” Shen Qingqiu demanded, her voice filled with rage.
Shen Xuechang’s silence was all the answer she needed. Shen Qingqiu exploded with fury. Lin Ruoxi and Xia Anran were just as angry.
None of them had realized their complicated feelings toward Ye Yunshen—on one hand, they didn’t want him interfering in their lives, but on the other hand, they couldn’t bear to see him leave. It was the same as when Cheng Zewen had suggested driving Ye Yunshen away, but they had refused.
“I’m going to find him and bring him back!” Shen Qingqiu growled and turned to leave in anger.
“Come back!” Shen Xuechang immediately called out to stop her.
Behind them, the butler, Uncle Liang, could no longer keep quiet and said, “Master, since the young ladies are all back, maybe we should…”
Shen Xuechang glared at him fiercely, “No!”
“Yunshen didn’t move out, he just went out to take care of something. Don’t worry, dear,” Kong Fengyi finally said with a forced smile that looked anything but natural.
She had to protect Ye Yunshen and absolutely couldn’t let anyone know he had left the Shen family. If that important person found out, something terrible would definitely happen!
“Out for something? What could he possibly be busy with?” Shen Qingqiu pouted.
Hearing that, Shen Xuechang snapped, “Why couldn’t he have things to do? Have you cared about Yunshen at all lately?”
Shen Qingqiu was speechless. Indeed, ever since Cheng Zewen came back, she had focused entirely on him and never once checked on Ye Yunshen.
“You think Shen Yunshen might not come back at all? Maybe we should go look for him?” Xia Anran asked hesitantly after they had left the Shen residence. She was starting to feel worried. After all, she had said some pretty harsh things in the heat of the moment. Thinking about it now, she realized she had gone too far. Maybe Ye Yunshen left partly because of what she said.
Shen Qingqiu immediately responded, “Impossible! He can’t live without us! That big shot alone wouldn’t let him off!”
She knew Ye Yunshen too well. He couldn’t leave the Shen family. Not only had his own family abandoned him, but he had also offended that powerful person. That 1 billion yuan only saved his life temporarily, not forever. The moment he left the Shen family, that person would make a move. So no matter what, Ye Yunshen wouldn’t dare to leave the Shen family!
“Exactly! He wouldn’t dare run! The Shen family name is his protection! Isn’t that why he changed his name to Shen Yunshen in the first place?” Lin Ruoxi and Xia Anran chimed in.
Listening to the three of them, Cheng Zewen found it all amusing. Ye Yunshen had already been planning his escape for a long time. How could he not leave them? He could have left long ago—it was Cheng Zewen who had destroyed the blood donation records that kept him bound till now! And that was all to make sure the three daughters wouldn’t know, which made it easier for the next step.
Cheng Zewen wasn’t content with just driving Ye Yunshen away. He had already found someone with a compatible blood type. As soon as he confirmed it, he’d have someone take care of Ye Yunshen in secret. Since the donor should return to the rightful owner, then let it be complete—make sure there was no trace of him in their hearts!
“Just wait. Even if Shen Yunshen left in a fit of anger, it won’t be long before he crawls back. He can’t survive without us! Who else would even take him in?” Xia Anran scoffed coldly.
But what they didn’t expect was that, at this very moment, Ye Yunshen was being pursued like a prize…
“How long are you going to follow me?” Ye Yunshen asked, looking helplessly at the girl tagging behind him like a little tail.
She was the granddaughter of Dragon King Xiao, after all—someone with a divine appearance who should be dazzling and unmatched. Yet here she was, acting like a clingy girl who wouldn’t leave his side.
Xiao Yunrong looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, “Brother Yunshen, I’ll leave when you promise me!”
“I already said, I’m not considering that kind of thing right now. And why are you so certain it has to be me?” Ye Yunshen asked, clearly puzzled.
“Do you know what destiny means? Do you understand the romance of a love that spans more than a decade? Do you know the joy of surviving death for a second chance?” Xiao Yunrong asked, staring straight into Ye Yunshen’s eyes. “All of that came from you, Brother Yunshen! Even though we’ve just met, it feels like I’ve known you forever.” Read the latest chapters at novelping dot com.
Ye Yunshen couldn’t help but chuckle. Still just a little girl… believing in things like ‘destiny.’
“Then what about Shen Qingqiu, Lin Ruoxi, and Xia Anran? What are they to you?” he asked.
Xiao Yunrong shook her head and said seriously, “They’re just doomed fates—they don’t count! You and I are meant to be!”
Ye Yunshen was stunned for a moment, then utterly speechless.
“I don’t care! If it were someone else, maybe I wouldn’t say yes. But if it’s Brother Yunshen, I’ve already made up my mind!” she said, shamelessly clinging tightly to Ye Yunshen’s arm.
Ye Yunshen felt a headache coming on. He had just escaped the clutches of Shen Qingqiu and the other two, and now he had fallen into Xiao Yunrong’s hands.
All he wanted was to cultivate in peace and grow stronger!
Just as Ye Yunshen was about to open his mouth to refuse, a rush of hurried footsteps echoed from behind.
“Huh? Sister Long Li, why are you here?” Xiao Yunrong exclaimed in surprise when she saw who it was.
Ye Yunshen instantly became alert and took a step back, eyeing Long Li warily. “What do you want?”
Out of everyone that day, Long Li was the one who left the strongest impression on him. This woman wore a leather outfit and had a fierce presence, playing with her dagger like a performance artist—looking like she could slit a throat at any moment.
Ye Yunshen had always kept his distance from such women. Yet here she was, following him!
Seeing Ye Yunshen’s wary gaze, Long Li quickly said, “Mr. Ye, please don’t misunderstand. I’m here to invite you to join our Dragon Breath!”
As soon as she said that, Ye Yunshen had no time to react before Xiao Yunrong’s expression changed drastically. Her initial surprise turned into hostility.
So this woman had come to steal her man?
