The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 141

The sky had already turned dark. Su Ruan came out of her bedroom and sneaked out of the house. Just as she was about to close the door behind her, Su Ruan saw a shadow moving in the night.

Su Ruan turned around and finally saw the person coming from the garden. Her hand rested on her mouth as she tied to suppress herself from shouting out loud.

“Grandpa,” Su Ruan narrowed her eyes and was finally able to get a clear look at the person. Se gave him a look over and saw that he was carrying a large cabbage in his arms. “What are you doing?”

“I’m coming out to pick some cabbage,” Ma Hao Dong pointed at the cabbage in his hand. “Your grandma said she’s going to use them to make some noodles for breakfast. You…” He gave his granddaughter a look over and noticed the way she was dressed. “Why are you dressed like this?

Su Ruan coughed.

“You’re going out?”

Her hand on her bag tightened. Knowing that she could not escape this time, Su Ruan let out a long breath and nodded. “Grandpa, I’ll be going out for a while.”

Ma Hao Dong’s expression turned darker. “With that Young Master Long?”

Su Ruan nodded again. “Oh.”

“You…”

Su Ruan held her grandpa’s hand tightly before he could finish saying what he wanted to say. “Grandpa, It will only be for an hour.” She held up two fingers and smiled brightly. “Ah, maybe two hours top.”

“It’s already this late,” Ma Hao Dong reminded him.

“I know. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

Seeing the pleading in her eyes, the words that Ma Hao Dong wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat. His heart grew softer even though he did not like his granddaughter meeting a certain Young Master.

“Alright. Just don’t forget to come back earlier,” Ma Hao Dong said. “Otherwise, I would worry.”

Su Ruan’s lips stretched up into a wide smile. “Grandpa, thank you.” She turned around to leave and stopped herself again. “Grandpa, if my mom asks, you will help me to explain, right?”

Ma Hao Dong heaved a sigh. He suddenly wonder if he had spoiled this granddaughter a little too much.

“I know.” He waved his hand. “Go ahead. Otherwise, you won’t be able to come back in time.”

Su Ruan pecked at her grandfather’s cheek and leave.

Ma Hao Dong watched his granddaughter and frowned. Although Su Ruan had not said anything, it was not hard for Ma Hao Dong to guess that hi granddaughter was romantically involved with Long Fei.

After watching his granddaughter for a while, Ma Hao Dong began to realize that there was something strange about his granddaughter.

The way to the entrance was on the left but his granddaughter was running straight into the orchard…

Or could it be that he was too old that he had seen things wrongly?

Ma Hao Dong rubbed his eyes before he finally decided to go back into the house.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Ma Hao Dong’s eyes. At this time, Su Ruan was indeed walking in the orchard. The further she walked into the orchard, the more that Su Ruan began to wonder why did she agree to meet Long Fei by the lake.

The two of them were being very secretive that Su Ruan began to wonder if she was indeed in an underground relationship. However, sneaking around like this also gave her a sense of excitement.

As she was nearing the lake, Su Ruan finally saw Long Fei’s boat by the lake. He saw her coming and waved his hand at her.

Su Ruan looked at the lake water and wondered just how was she supposed to get across. Just then, the boat approached closer. Long Fei stretched his hand and pulled her onto the boat. The momentum caused her to lurch forward until she fell into the man’s embrace.

His fresh scent filled her nose and her face turned bright red.

Su Ruan pulled away and spoke, “Have you waited for a long time?”

“Not too long.” Long Fei smiled. In fact, he has been waiting for her nearby as soon as the sky had turned darker.

Su Ruan turned to look at the lake water again. “Hey, how did your boat get closer? Isn’t the water a bit shallow over here?”

“The water level increased in the nighttime.” Long Fei coughed. He could not possibly tell her that he had controlled the water until it was high enough to reach her.

“Really?” Su Ruan did not know much about these things and decided to believe in his words.

“Mhm…” Long Fei nodded. He pointed up and smiled. “Let’s go up.”

After being on the boat a few times, Su Ruan began to get used to walking on the boat and would no longer get nauseous.

She climbed up the ladder after Long Fei and took in a deep breath.

The place was decorated with fairy lights, giving off a romantic vibe. At the center of the boat, Long Fei had spread out a picnic blanket. There were some snacks and a bottle of chilled wine.

“What do you think?” Long Fei asked. “Do you like it?”

“It looked nice.” This man had decorated his boat for this date. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched.

He sat down on the blanket and patted at the empty spot beside him. “Come on. Have a seat.”

As soon as she sat down, Long Fei pulled out a couple of glasses and poured the wine them. Long Fei passed a glass to her before he took a sip from his glass.

“Are you sure it would be a good idea for you to drink?” Su Ruan asked. “How are you going to steer the boat back to your place? Mr. Long, drinking and driving is dangerous.”

“I won’t get drunk,” Long Fei said. His body was special and it was easy for him to control his body.

Su Ruan narrowed her eyes as she looked at him.

Seeing that she was worried about him, Long Fei finally put down his glass. “Alright. I won’t drink that much. Just one glass.”

Hearing his words, Su Ruan finally smiled.
