The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 126

Long Fei rolled down the window and looked at the man in front of him in puzzled. The look on his face showed that he was confused to find Su Ruan’s grandpa in front of him.

“Young Master Long, what are you doing here?” Ma Hao Dong asked.

Earlier, one of the staff from his orchard had mentioned seeing a vehicle parked outside the orchard for a long time.

Ma Hao Dong was worried and decided to check. His pupil flickered upon recognizing the car. When Su Ruan fell into the water and was rescued by Long Fei, someone had picked him up and headed to Long’s residence using this car.

He was suddenly reminded of the day Long Fei had taken his granddaughter to the carnival and returned late at night. As he thought of how this young master was pursuing his granddaughter, Ma Hao Dong became unhappy.

After a brief hesitation, Ma Hao Dong decided to head over and knocked on his window. However, sensing that something does not seem right with this young master, Ma Hao Dong began to worry.

“Young Master Long, would you like to go inside?” Ma Hao Dong coughed. “Come in and let’s have some tea.”

Long Fei was still a little confused as to why he had come over to this place after his argument with his father. However, once he heard Ma Hao Dong’s invitation, he immediately agreed.

Long Fei drove into the orchard and parked. Then, he followed Ma Hao Dong into the house and sit down in the living room.

Ma Hao Dong entered the kitchen to speak with his wife. Seeing that the guest in the living room was still staring into space, Ma Hao Dong began to worry again.

“What do you think happened to him?” Ma Hao Dong whispered to his wife. “From the moment I found him outside, he has been staring into space for a long time.”

Lan Shi prepared some tea and followed her husband’s gaze ad peek into the living room. “Maybe he’s looking for Su Ruan. I heard from our daughter that the Young Master has been helping Su Ruan to look for some writing job.”

Ma Hao Dong rubbed his chin as he continued to worry.

“If you are still worried, why don’t you go over and talk to him?” Lan Shi shot him a look.

“You know very well that I’m not good at talking.”

“Then, why did you invite him inside?”

“It doesn’t feel right to leave him outside our orchard. What are we supposed to do if something happened to him?” Ma Hao Dong said. “Besides, even when I asked him something, he would not reply. Do you think he has gone stupid?”

Ma Hao Dong wanted to ask Long Fei about his intention of getting closer to his granddaughter. However, with the way Long Fei had reacted, Ma Hao Dong thought that it would be impossible to communicate with Long Fei.

Lan Shi heaved a helpless sigh. She really could not understand what was going on in her husband’s mind. “Alright. You go ahead and do your work. I’ll go over and talk to him.”

Her husband was someone who has been working at the orchard for a long time. Lan Shi thought that her husband was better at talking with plants instead of talking to another human being.

After sending her husband out and assuring him that she will look after this big guest, Lan Shi carried out the tray and brought it over to the living room. She glanced at the young man’s face and thought that her husband was exaggerating when he said that Long Fei was staring into space too much.

This handsome young man still looked aware. How can her husband say that he looked stupid?

Of course, Lan Shi did not know that Long Fei had begun to calm down and recovered after stepping into the house. Being close to Su Ruan would give him this effect.

“Young Master Long, please, have a drink,” Lan Shi said. “My husband went out to look at the orchard. He should be back soon.”

“Old Madam, thank you.” Long Fei took the cup and drank his tea slowly. Then, he looked around the room and noticed that it was too quiet. “Is Su Ruan around?”

“Did you come over to look for Su Ruan? She should be in her room working on her articles.” Lan Shi hesitated for a while and continued, “If you are here to see her, you can go upstairs and look for her.”

Long Fei could not hide his surprise upon hearing words. “Is that alright?”

“Mhm… Just knock on the door before you enter.” Lan Shi gave the direction to her granddaughter’s room and watched as the man leave. Once Long Fei was no longer within her eyesight, Lan Shi finally heaved a heavy sigh.

Being around someone with Long Fei’s aura was not that easy.

Meanwhile, it did not take a long time for Long Fei to find Su Ruan’s room.

As he stood in front of her door, Long Fei could already feel her presence. The closeness made him relax and comfortable.

He knocked on the door and heard her voice.

“Who is it? Just come in. The door is unlocked.”

Long Fei stood still. He was worried that Su Ruan would be too shocked when she saw him entering her room and decided to wait.

After a few seconds, Long Fei knocked on the door again. “Su Ruan.”

This time, Su Ruan did not speak.

Long Fei heard the sound of her footsteps approaching and took a step back. Soon, the door was pulled from the inside and Su Ruan’s shocked face appeared at the door.

“Long Fei?” Su Ruan blinked as if she was in disbelief that the person in front of her was indeed Long Fei.

Just a while ago, she was still thinking about the kiss. Su Ruan was worried that she was thinking too much about it and had started to imagine things.

“Mmm… It’s me..” Long Fei flashed a smile. He peeked into her room and asked, “Can I come in?”
