Chapter: 5751

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wan'er's breathing quickened, her cheeks flushing with a faint blush of nervousness. She anxiously looked at Leaf Chen, fearing he would refuse or be displeased.

Leaf Chen didn't seem to notice anything and just nodded his head, saying, "Alright then, precious is fine? Okay, then let's go ahead like this."

As she was speaking, Leaf Chen cautioned her: "Make sure to remember this - don't say those two words in front of others. We're in a new era now, and we shouldn't use these old titles anymore. If you were to say that outside, people might think I have some special quirk..."

Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue, unhappy with the situation, and said: "Sir, I've been through from the old times to this new era. Sir, what you're saying is clear as day to me. Moreover, I haven't spoken like that in a hundred years, and it's only because of you that I'm doing so now. Once we leave this place, I'll adjust myself accordingly."

"That's fine," Leaf Chen nodded, then glanced at the time and said: "It's getting late. Let's set out."

"Okay," Lin Wan'er nodded, looking at Leaf Chen and saying: "Sir, once we leave this door, I'll call you 'beloved'?"

Leaf Chen nodded, and casually added: "As long as you're not afraid of those four old men laughing at you, just go ahead and call me that."

Lin Wan'er's face turned red immediately and she said: "That's wrong, I mean... after we leave the Purple Gold Manor..."

Leaf Chen shook his head in dismay: "Alright, let's hurry up. They're waiting for you downstairs, expecting to say their goodbyes."

"Okay," Lin Wan'er nodded, sounding apologetic: "Bothering Sir to wait outside for a moment, I'll just go pay my respects to Father first and then come back."

Leaf Chen agreed readily, then left the room alone.

After Leaf Chen had left, Lin Wan'er went to her father's spiritual tablet, took out three incense sticks with a delicate touch, lit them carefully, waited until the flames died down and the fragrance of sandalwood and agarwood rose before inserting the incense sticks into the incense burner. Then, she knelt on a cushion in front of the spiritual tablet, joined her hands together, and murmured softly: "Father... Wan'er wants to go back to Dian South with Leaf Chen... no, no... Wan'er is mistaken again... Wan'er really wants to go back to Dian South with Sir, hoping that Your Spirit in Heaven will bless our safe return and fulfill Sir's wishes..."

As she finished speaking, she bowed her head three times towards the spiritual tablet and then stood up quickly to leave.

Leaf Chen waited in the courtyard, seeing Lin Wan'er come out, and smiled slightly at her. The two of them left the top floor together.

Below, four old men were chatting in the grand hall on the first floor, looking up at the staircase with a puzzled expression.

Old Zhang saw that they had indeed dressed in their wedding attire and exclaimed, "Oh my! Leaf Chen and Miss Lin are truly a match made in heaven!"

Sun Zhidong gazed at them, unable to help but exclaim, "Old Zhang, you've been following Miss Lin around for the longest time. Haven't you seen her smile like this before? It's just like a textbook example of being coy!"

At this moment, Lin Wan'er was walking beside Leaf Chen with a shy and blushing smile on her face, clearly happy, stealing glances at Leaf Chen from time to time.

Each time she glanced at him, her eyebrows would slightly raise and then drop back down, as if she were afraid to look too long.

However, the three of them had always thought of Lin Wan'er as a girl who never took anything seriously, was always playful and domineering, and that these two words "shy" and "blushing" didn't suit her at all.

But now they finally realized that Miss Lin also had this kind of shy and blushing side to her.

Qiu Yingshan gazed at Lin Wan'er walking in the distance and couldn't help but smile, saying, "If Miss Lin were to wear a wedding dress or show off her hairdo, she would definitely be more beautiful."

Sun Zhidong waved his hand dismissively and said seriously, "It's not possible. Miss Lin looks like she's still underage. Nowadays, girls get married at 20-30 years old. If Miss Lin wore a wedding dress, it would be somewhat awkward."

Qiu Yingshan's old companion whispered, "You three old timers should wait until Miss Lin and Mr. Ye leave before gossiping about them. Mr. Ye has far-reaching abilities; if he were to find out, I don't know how you'd feel about it either."

Qiu Yingshan hastily told the other two, "Keep quiet, let's talk after Miss Lin and Mr. Ye leave." JrNovels.com
