Rebirth of the Unruly Little Demon of the Boliang Guard

Xie Yu gently stroked Lin Li's hair. "It's getting late now. Miss has to go to the temple to fulfill her wish tomorrow. The Madam is doing this for Miss's own good. How about I tell Miss a story later?"

The eldest lady was very happy that Lin Li was able to come back. When Lin Li disappeared, the eldest lady went to the temple to pray for blessings every day. Now that Lin Li is back, it is time for her to fulfill her wish.

"Well," Lin Li pouted, "You should have a good rest when you go back, but when the Madam and I go to the temple tomorrow, can you go with me?"

After all, Xie Yu is Meng Ranyue's man. He has been looking for Lin Li for such a long time, and after coming back, he still bothers her. Meng Ranyue will definitely be unhappy. After all, Meng Ranyue enjoys Xie Yu staying by her side.

Xie Yu did not respond for a while. Lin Li pushed Xie Yu away like a frost-bitten eggplant, kept a distance from him, and lowered her head. "Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. There are other guards at home, and they will do their best to protect me and the Madam."

Ever since being kidnapped, Lin Li still feels scared every time she thinks about it. She is used to having Xie Yu by her side and hardly dares to stay alone in the room, always feeling lonely.

From today on, Xie Yu can no longer stay in her room, so Lin Li can only let other maids accompany her to rest.

"I haven't said anything yet, and the young lady is already sad," Xie Yu hugged Lin Li again, "I am naturally used to being with the young lady, but Master Meng wants to see me tomorrow. But please rest assured, I will rush over."

He had been away for so long that he had no time to write a letter home. Mr. Meng was also very worried about Xie Yu's condition. After all, Xie Yu was Mr. Meng's adopted son, so it was time for him to go back and see his father.

The capital city is far away from Anning Temple, and it takes two hours to go back and forth. Lin Li and the eldest lady have to set out early tomorrow morning and it is estimated that they will not be able to return home until very late.

Xie Yu still has things to deal with tomorrow. It would be troublesome for him to run back and forth. Let him stay in the capital and have a good rest.

Although Lin Li likes to stick with Xie Yu, she also learned a truth from those little books: if a woman sticks too much to a man, the man will have no private space of his own. Over time, Xie Yu will hate himself. As the saying goes, distance creates beauty.

Lin Li held up the man's handsome face, her eyes full of pity.

"No need. You've worked so hard for so long. You've lost weight. You need to eat well to replenish your body. Tomorrow, you don't need to come to see me. Just stay in the capital. I can't bear to see you suffer so much."

"I'll listen to you, young lady." Xie Yu chatted with Lin Li for a while before returning to his room.

Yuzhu and several other maids took turns to accompany Lin Li to sleep. Only with someone in the room could Lin Li sleep more peacefully.

Early the next morning, Lin Li was called up to wash and eat a few bites of breakfast. Then, he and the first lady got on the carriage and headed for Anning Temple.

Sitting in the swaying carriage, Lin Li felt dizzy. It might be because she hadn't lived in her own room for a long time and she was used to her bed. Last night, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Now she was feeling sleepy and couldn't resist.

The eldest lady also saw that Lin Li was listless and asked, "What do you think of Xie Yu?"

The guard worked so hard for so long to bring Lin Li back safely. Logically, he should be rewarded.

However, although Xie Yu was a guard, his status was different from other guards. Master Meng was his adoptive father and treated him like his own son, so naturally his food, clothing and other expenses would not be bad.

"what?"

Lin Li didn't understand why the eldest lady said that. Could it be that their affair was discovered by the eldest lady? That was unlikely. There were very few people who knew about this matter, and they were all people she trusted, so they would definitely not leak it out.

Speaking of Xie Yu, Lin Li was no longer sleepy. "He is a nice guy. He is handsome, capable, hardworking, and doesn't talk much."

I feel very happy and safe when he is by my side, and I don’t want to leave him for a moment.
