The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 128

As he was heading downstairs, the look on Long Fei’s face was no longer as gloomy as it was before. Just spending a short time with Su Ruan would give him this effect.

Long Fei was still thinking about Su Ruan’s dumbfounded expression as he had hugged her earlier when he suddenly heard a coughing voice.

When he looked up, Long Fei found that Ma Hao Dong was waiting at the end of the stairs. The look on his face was clearly unhappy.

Of course, Ma Hao Dong would be unhappy.

Just now, he had lowered his guard after he had noticed that Long Fei’s mood does not seem right. He was kind enough to invite him in and let him have some tea.

When he looked away for a while, this young master headed upstairs to look for his granddaughter. Judging from that look on Long Fei’s face, Ma Hao Dong could sense that his mood had turned better after seeing Su Ruan.

Ma Hao Dong’s mood turned sour at the thought that this man had taken advantage of her granddaughter.

“Young Master Long, why are you upstairs?”

Long Fei quickly guessed why Ma Hao Dong had suddenly turned hostile. “Old Madam let me go upstairs to look for Su Ruan.”

Ma Hao Dong did not expect that the person who would let Long Fei upstairs would be his wife.

Long Fei thought for a moment and spoke, “Su Ruan said she will come down in a few minutes.”

His eyes narrowed. “Then, come with me for a while. Let’s drink some tea and chat.”

Long Fei nodded before he followed the old man to the living room. The tea and snacks that Old Madam Ma had prepared for him earlier were still on the table.

“Please, sit down,” Ma Hao Dong motioned to the sofa. He watched as the young man took a seat before he sit down across from him.

In the past, Ma Hao Dong did not dare to look at Long Fei this way. However, now that he could sense that this young master had an intention towards his granddaughter, Ma Hao Dong decided to be on guard against him.

“Young Master Long, I have a few questions to ask you.”

His expression was calm. “Please, speak.”

“What is your intention towards my granddaughter, Su Ruan?” Ma Hao Dong straightforwardly asked. His eyes were sharp as he was watching Long Fei’s every move.

“Old Man Ma, I won’t lie to you,” Long Fei smiled. “I am currently pursuing Su Ruan.”

His answer only made Ma Hao Dong upset.

Su Ruan had only returned to the town not too long ago. However, a certain pig had caught sight of her and was now eying his granddaughter, wanting to take her away.

“Young Master Long, I am aware of the difference between our family,” Ma Hao Dong said. “My Su Ruan is just a timid and innocent girl. I hope that you can spare my granddaughter from heartbreak.”

It was not hard for Long Fei to figure out what Su Ruan’s grandpa was trying to warn him. “Old Man Ma, I am sincere about her and had talked to Su Ruan about my intention as well. I don’t intend to play around. The moment I decided to pursue her, my intention was to make this relationship work. I wanted to date her with the intention to marry.”

Hearing these words, Ma Hao Dong’s expression changed again.

His granddaughter knew that this man was pursuing her but she had told him that the last time they went out together, it was to discuss some work matter.

Moreover… what marry? It seemed that a certain young master was thinking too far.

“At this time, Su Ruan had not agreed on anything.”

Ma Hao Dong’s mood was suddenly lifted up. As he had expected, his granddaughter is a smart person. She would not give in to any rascal easily.

With this thought in his mind, Ma Hao Dong decided that he should give his granddaughter a talk. He had to warn her that she should not be swayed by any man’s words easily.

In this society, it was the woman who always get the end of the stick.

“But I can assure you,” Long Fei continued. “Whatever happened between us in the future, I will always treat her well.”

For Long Fei, Su Ruan is the most important person.

In the beginning, he only approached her because he knew how special her presence would mean to him. But after he had gotten closer to her, Long Fei began to realize that he might like her and this feeling was slowly spreading.

He wanted to be with her but he could not say that Su Ruan had the same intention.

Long Fei had decided that even if Su Ruan did not want to be with him in the end, he will always treat her well.

“Your family will not agree to it,” Ma Hao Dong reminded him.

As a native of D Town, Ma Hao Dong was aware of the Long family’s prestige. The people who can get married into the family were not any ordinary people.

Long Fei’s late grandmother came from an influential family. His mother too was someone from a good family. Ma Hao Dong has heard that Long Fei’s maternal grandfather was someone with a high rank in the police force.

“The elders in my family will not mind my relationship,” Long Fei said. “As long as it was with someone that I could get along with, they would not have any objection.”

Once he introduced to them that Su Ruan is the girl that he has been looking for, the elders would not dare to have any objection. After all, the most crucial matter for the family is an heir, born from the eldest son of the family with the person who had fed him with blood.

That’s right.. From the moment that he had licked Su Ruan’s wound when they were still a child, Long Fei had sealed Su Ruan’s destiny to be his fated one.
