Only when the sun set and the evening glow dyed half the sky red did Chu Ning'an and "Ru Yue" slowly return. They brought back a car full of packages of all sizes, as if they had moved the entire Huo family back home.

When she was nearing her home, Ru Yue suddenly stopped and solemnly warned the stunned waiter beside her, "Be careful, these are all farewell gifts from Sister Huo!"

The guy was a little confused at first, but when he heard this, he instantly became smart.

His eyes quickly swept across the carriage, as if he didn't see the people crowded together at all, and immediately responded: "Young master, are you going back to the workshop?" His words actually revealed a strong and difficult to conceal feeling of loss.

"Well, I've been out for quite some time now. The workshop can't be left unattended all the time. Besides, Brother Chu has to take the college entrance examination in August. It wouldn't be good if he kept getting delayed because of us." "Ru Yue" answered with a smile, her tone so kind and natural that people couldn't sense anything unusual.

"Then, young master, when do you plan to leave for home?" The young man was obviously a talkative person, and he took up what "Ru Yue" had said.

"The day after tomorrow morning, I have to pack up tomorrow." With that, Ru Yue lifted her foot and walked lightly towards the backyard. Her graceful figure gradually disappeared around the corner, leaving the young man standing there in a daze. He watched her retreating figure, and an indescribable feeling of reluctance welled up in his heart.

Chu Ning'an deliberately gave An Binghuai enough time to prepare an ambush on him, but at the same time he also reserved enough time for himself to make careful plans in order to successfully capture this cunning "praying mantis".

In the study.

"You're taking too much risk! I absolutely disagree!" Ru Yue's face flushed red with anger, her chest heaving violently as if a volcano was about to erupt. Her beautiful eyes widened, burning with rage as she shouted angrily at the person in front of her.

At this moment, she was like a thoroughly enraged lion cub, emanating an aura of undeniable majesty that threatened to scare anyone away. Her hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly, as if ready to strike out at any moment to vent her discontent and anger. Her cascading black hair swayed gently with her emotions, creating an impression of both beauty and fierceness.

"I cannot put you all in such great danger for my own safety!" Ru Yue reiterated her position, her voice rising in intensity. She knew the extent of the danger this operation entailed; the consequences would be disastrous if she wasn't careful. Therefore, she couldn't accept such disregard for everyone's safety, no matter what.

However, facing Ru Yue's agitation, Chu Ning'an struggled to contain his own equally anxious feelings. He took a deep breath, trying to sound as gentle and patient as possible. "Ru Yue, can you calm down for a moment? I know you're worried, but please believe me, Uncle Huo and I have already made all the necessary arrangements. We've considered every possible scenario and developed appropriate countermeasures. There will absolutely be no danger. Trust me." Chu Ning'an gently reached out, trying to grasp Ru Yue's shoulders, which were shaking with anger.

But Ru Yue simply couldn't listen to this explanation. She bit her lips tightly, glared at Chu Ning'an, and asked: "Since you keep saying that there is no danger, why do you let Fengying go back in my place? Isn't this obviously a case of trying to cover up something?" The more Ru Yue thought about it, the more angry she became. She was a business elite from a thousand years later. How could she be easily fooled and deceived by these "old-fashioned" people?

"Ruyue, the reason why we let Fengying go in your place is because she has unique skills and great kung fu! You must believe in my decision." Chu Ningan said anxiously. He knew very well that if Ruyue refused to nod in agreement, all subsequent plans would be difficult to implement.

After venting her anger, Ru Yue gradually regained control of her rage. Now calm, she responded calmly, "Chu Ning'an, your plan is theoretically feasible. However, if An Binghuai hadn't appeared at the scene of the robbery, how would you have obtained the crucial evidence of the An family's treason?"

Hearing Ru Yue's doubt, Chu Ning'an hurriedly explained: "I have already made arrangements for this. If this situation really happens, Fengying will pretend to be kidnapped and take the opportunity to go deep into the tiger's den and face An Binghuai directly." Seeing Ru Yue's emotions gradually stabilized, Chu Ning'an's anxiety was also relieved a little.

But Ru Yue didn't let go of her worries. She stared at Chu Ning'an with a sharp gaze and pointed out the core of the problem without mercy: "This is precisely the most dangerous part of this whole plan. The person they really want is me. As long as I fall into their hands, all of you who have followed me all this way will be killed. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, I am afraid you will be seriously injured."

She walked gently in front of him. Trembling slightly, she reached out her arms and gently embraced his strong waist. Then, like a docile kitten, she pressed her delicate face against his broad, solid chest. With a tone filled with sorrow and tenderness, she whispered, "You care about me and don't want me to suffer even the slightest harm. But have you ever considered that I feel the same way about you?"

He couldn't help but wonder, why was his Ru Yue so intelligent? At this moment, Chu Ning'an, as if suddenly thinking of something happy, couldn't help but raise his lips, revealing a smile as bright as the sun. In an instant, the whole room seemed to be illuminated by his smile, becoming radiant.

However, this bright smile only made Ru Yue's inner worries even stronger. She really didn't want to let the man in front of her who made her heart so deeply in love take such a risk. He gently put his arm around her slender waist, and with a slight force, he brought her into his warm embrace.

"This is just another plan of mine. Fengying knows what to do to ensure the safety of all of our lives." As he spoke, he held the person in his arms higher so that he could look her face to face.

"Believe me, Ruyue. With you by my side, I will never easily put myself in danger. I will wait for you to grow up, and then marry you in grand style! How could I bear to leave you?"

"But...but..." Before she could finish her words, Chu Ning'an interrupted her rudely.

"No buts!" He hugged her tightly, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go. Then, he buried his head deeply in the crook of her neck, which exuded a faint fragrance, and murmured, "As long as you are all well, I will also be at peace and happy."

Ru Yue stood there blankly, her lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a single word. She gazed at the departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Could this truly be the ideal husband she had endured through ten lifetimes of cultivation, a man whom even the heavens couldn't bear to see her so clearly and had specifically bestowed upon her?

"Promise me you'll come back safely." Her voice trembled, tears welling in her eyes, ready to burst at any moment. Her sobbing was heartbreaking.

"Don't cry, Ruyue. Believe me, I will come back to take you home. Wait for me!" Chu Ning'an looked at her gently, his eyes full of determination and affection.

Two days later, the sun shone on the streets of the small town. Chu Ning'an and "Ru Yue" walked side by side, followed by two energetic "companions." A closer look revealed that they were the two young men who had returned from the Huo family with Ru Yue that day.

At the same time, in a corner of the "Ming Yue" stall, Uncle Bing and An Er exchanged a quiet glance, then vanished silently like ghosts, leaving only a gentle breeze blowing...
