A Da smirked and explained, "Last time, the young master brought Miss Yin back, and the fort master found out, so he put the young master under house arrest."
"Miss Yin?"
Su Ding was slightly taken aback. The only person surnamed Yin she had recently interacted with was Yin Bo.
Could it be Yin Bo's beautiful and seemingly cold aunt? Thinking back, her uncle and this aunt did seem quite well-matched.
Su Ding smiled wryly, "I think I know."
A Da and A Xiao also smiled. They also hoped their young master would find them a young madam soon.
"Miss, young master, you will be living here from now on. You can call the servants for any needs. The fort master has arranged a luncheon for noon today, and someone will notify you when it's time."
"If there's nothing else, we shall take our leave."
A Da said to Su Ding. Su Ding nodded, "Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work."
After A Da and A Xiao left, Jin Ye put his arm around Su Ding's shoulders, and they walked to the soft leather sofa and sat down.
"It's so luxurious here, it's like a palace."
Su Ding leaned against Jin Ye and exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with novelty.
Jin Ye also curved his lips, "Compared to Lijing Island, the fort master is almost equivalent to an emperor. You, my princess, are truly worthy of the title."
"You're teasing me!"
Su Ding snorted and pinched Jin Ye's arm.
Looking at everything that was strange, luxurious, and yet incredibly unreal, Su Ding mused, "If my mother had returned to Lijing Island to live with my grandfather and uncle, would her fate have been less tragic?"
Although she hadn't interacted much with her grandfather and uncle, Su Ding could genuinely feel the power of familial bonds.
They all deeply missed her mother.
It was just that both sides were so stubborn in upholding their past angry words, who would have thought it would lead to eternal separation.
"There are no 'ifs,' everything happens for the best."
Jin Ye held Su Ding's hand, his eyes looking at her with determination.
This sentence gradually calmed Su Ding's uneasy heart, and all the lingering doubts and trepidation vanished.
...
Er Dao.
Ouyang Kai also sat back on the sofa, his eyes narrowed, his long legs resting on the coffee table.
He seemed somewhat languid.
Beside him was Yin Xue, who exuded a cold aura.
Yin Xue was wearing a simple and elegant white long dress, her long hair cascading down her back. The curve of her profile was exquisitely beautiful, and her slender hand was on Ouyang Kai's pulse.
Finally, she spoke faintly, "The chip they implanted in you has been removed, and there are no side effects. Your body has recovered very well."
Ouyang Kai looked up at her, suddenly sat up straight, and leaned closer to her.
"What did you say?"
Yin Xue was startled by his sudden movement and instinctively retreated, "I said you're fine now."
Ouyang Kai was amused by her startled expression, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. "It's great that you're okay. Thank you for saving me."
"You've said that many times," Yin Xue glanced at him and moved back, creating distance between them.
"Are you blaming me for making empty promises? I told you, whatever you want, I will give it to you."
Ouyang Kai looked at Yin Xue with a half-smile, his eyes holding many unspoken emotions.
He slowly leaned back on the sofa, bent his legs, and crossed them. His exquisitely crafted leather shoes were spotless, making him look like a playboy.
Yin Xue glanced at his posture calmly, her voice growing colder, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you're fine, I'll be going back now."
As she prepared to leave, Ouyang Kai stopped her, "Wait."
"There's something I'm very curious about."
