After a long silence, the two of them seemed to slowly wake up from their deep thoughts. Ji Boda gently let go of his arms and looked at Liu Ruyan tenderly, his eyes full of care.

"Ruyan, it's been a long time since tonight's banquet, and you haven't eaten anything. I'll ask my servants to prepare some food for you now." Ji Boda said softly, with worry in his tone.

Liu Ruyan shook his head gently, with a slightly tired smile on his face: "No, it's late at night, don't disturb the people in the dining room. I don't have the mood to eat now. Boda, please stay with me. I’ll take a moment.”

Ji Boda looked at her red ears, his heart softened, and he gently rubbed Liu Ruyan's hand. He felt that Liu Ruyan seemed to be particularly fragile today. Although she had acted very calmly in front of others just now, to Ji Boda, who was extremely concerned about her, her inner sensitivity and vulnerability could not be concealed.

His eyes swept across the desk inadvertently, and he saw a few big words written on the paper: "Seeing a gentleman, Yun Hu is not happy."

Now that I have met the person I love, how can I not be happy?

The writing is graceful and graceful, full of the tenderness and sweetness of a girl.

Ji Boda's heart moved, and he understood the meaning of this sentence. This is the girl's expectation that she will soon see her lover, and it is the deep joy and expectation in her heart.

Gentleman, Ito Makoto's temperament is obviously inconsistent with his sick appearance, and she wants to see Ito Makoto, and Liu Mansion can see her at any time, so there is no need to write it out, so this is obviously written to him, Ji Boda.

He turned to look at Liu Ruyan, a gentle smile flashing in his eyes.

When Liu Ruyan saw that he noticed what she had written, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she coyly said: "I wrote this a few days ago, you... don't read it randomly."

He picked up the pen and gently continued writing on the paper: "I am happy with my life, and I am alone."

After finishing writing, he put down the pen and looked up at Liu Ruyan, his eyes full of tenderness: "I am very happy to be with you at this moment. You are the joy of my life and the meaning of my existence."

Liu Ruyan raised her head, looked at Ji Boda's affectionate eyes, and felt a warm current in her heart.

No matter when and where, as long as Ji Boda is by her side, she can feel the deep love and warmth.

Liu Ruyan stood up on tiptoes and quickly kissed Ji Boda on the face, and said shyly: "Boda, this is my response to you. I like my life because it allowed me to meet you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything else became insignificant at this moment. They hugged each other tightly again, enjoying this rare peace and sweetness.

Suddenly, a vague thought flashed through Ji Boda's mind, as if he had captured something. He frowned, trying to capture this fleeting thought, but it always seemed to be just a little short, which made him look a little dazed. .

"What's wrong? Boda, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you injured today?" Liu Ruyan saw that his expression was different and couldn't help asking with concern.

Ji Boda frowned, as if trying to recall the flash of thought just now, and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong, yes, there is something wrong!"

Liu Ruyan's heart tightened and she quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you, Boda?"

Ji Boda came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I'm fine, I just think that if Ito Makoto wants to tell you something, why bother telling you at the engagement party? He obviously has plenty of time! He can find you privately. "

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan felt that it made sense and fell into deep thought. She carefully thought about the past few days. Indeed, Ito Makoto had been at the Liu family for a long time. Although he did not live in the inner courtyard, he definitely had time to contact her.

"In the past few days, I have to prepare for the engagement, and I have never left the inner courtyard, and I was on guard against him. However, Ito Makoto cannot have no chance, unless..." Liu Ruyan suddenly thought of something, There was a glint in his eyes.

"Unless someone is staring at him!" Ji Boda took over the words, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "And not only these days, he must have been staring at him for a long time. This person is very close to him, he must be a mole!"

When Liu Ruyan heard this, her expression changed. She immediately stood up and wanted to go out to check on the people around Ito Makoto.

When Ji Boda saw this, he hurriedly grabbed her, looked at her puzzled eyes, and explained: "If this person wanted to escape, he would have escaped long ago. If he didn't escape, he would be just a little guy, just responsible for keeping an eye on people, and it is insignificant. If Ito Makoto has his heart, he will definitely leave something for us."

Liu Ruyan calmed down after hearing this. She nodded and asked, "Then where should we look? Ito Makoto's residence?"

After Ji Boda pondered for a moment, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This is just our hypothesis. If it is true, it is impossible for Ito Makoto to leave things in his residence. It would be too unsafe and could easily be followed. Found it.”

"So there are only two places he could leave his stuff."

Liu Ruyan immediately asked: "Which two places?" Her eyes shone with anxiety and expectation, hoping to find clues as soon as possible.

Ji Boda took a deep breath and slowly expressed his inference: "First, the medicine garden where he works. The place is large and easy to hide things. But with his cautious character, that place does not feel very safe. And it won’t be placed in a conspicuous place, so it won’t be easily discovered by us.”

Liu Ruyan nodded to express her understanding. The medicine garden was indeed a good choice, but Ito Cheng's caution made it difficult for them to find clues. She asked eagerly: "What about the other place?"

Ji Boda's eyes became deep, and he said solemnly: "The other place is next to you. If you want to come here, it is not easy for the mole to come in, and it is close to you. Ito Cheng should feel safer."

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Close to me? Safe? What do you mean?"

An inexplicable sense of tension arose in her heart, as if the answer was right in front of her, but yet elusive.

Ji Boda looked at her with deep concern in his eyes: "The closest one is your boudoir. It's difficult for others to come in even if you want to."

He knew that this answer made Liu Ruyan a little embarrassed, but he had to tell the truth.

Liu Ruyan's face turned slightly red, and she immediately shook her head and said, "No way, he has never been in."

Ji Boda nodded, expressing his belief in her words. He thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the corner of the study and said: "If the boudoir is not the boudoir, then the nearest place... is here!"

Liu Ruyan woke up like a dream and said: "Yes, here! This study is where I work every day. Ito Cheng also comes here often. If he is serious, he may indeed leave something here."

Moreover, her study room is not allowed to be cleaned by servants. There are too many confidential things, and she has to clean and organize them herself, so it is not easy to clean up anything left by Ito Makoto.
