63 The Ruins 8

"Why are there others here, Qian Yang?" Xue Lian asked whilst swinging her uninjured leg as Huang Qian Yang searched around for bandages.

"For the same reason as you of course, no matter how much you like food, there's no way that you would come all the way over here for that" Xue Lian had nothing to say since Huang Qian Yang had seen through her lies.

"Hehe, I went out today to gather some information but with no success"

"Of course, those sects are protecting the information they have like their lives. What do you want to know?" He finally found the bandages and headed over to her.

"Eh?" She hadn't expected him to be so generous.

"Are the ruins really some place full of treasure?"

"From the information that I had my subordinates get personally, yes and no"

"?" Confusion was written all over her face.

'Cute' When others were around he would be unassuming and nonchalant but when it was only him and her, he would be gentle and caring.

Love is not something that is explainable, you can fall in love over the simplest things but your feelings can develop so deep after time.

That was his case of love.

"I wouldn't come here if it was just a normal ruin, I can't tell you since this is for a friend of mine but it will be dangerous and there'll probably be only one treasure" Hearing that he wouldn't tell her why Xue Lian felt a bit suffocated but her reasoning told her that she should be understanding.

"If you want to go, I know I won't be able to stop you but be careful" However, her discontent faded away after hearing his worry for her.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, you be careful too" Xue Lian wasn't shy and was quite straightforward most of the time, Huang Qian Yang knelt down to bandage her ankle.

"En" Huang Qian Yang was likewise moved by her care.

"What are you doing?!" She jolted awake fully on guard when she saw him reach out for her ankle.

"Bandaging for wound, silly" He replied expressionlessly.

"Who's silly?" She didn't reject him since she knew she couldn't do it herself that well and didn't want the previous scenario to repeat itself.

"You who else?" Huang Qian Yang smirked provocatively.

"You're the silly one!" She was the mighty young clan head! How dare he call her silly?

She going to lead the clan in the future, let's see if he still dares to call her silly when he sees her admirable self ruling above her clansmen.

Xue Lian suddenly had a strong feeling of wanting to prove herself to him.

"There. Try not to put pressure on it. I'll help you to your room"

"En, thanks" She replied obediently, she was helpless right now.

Just as he carried her out the room, the branch manager just so happened to come to report the accounts to him and saw the scene.

The smart guy immediately turned around to not disturb them, he decided to leave before he had to be told to, an image really tells a thousand words, just seeing the scene he had caught on.

He had never seen his master be so affectionate towards a lady before.

Although Huang Qian Yang looked weak and easily manipulated he was far from so and instead was nonchalant, lazy-looking and aloof most of the time, staying clear of other people.

The only person the branch manager knew who his master was close with was the Tian Family's young master.

The employees were from Moonlight Continent but Huang Qian Yang had made sure to have all the branch managers be his men from Sunlight Continent.

He didn't want any spies sneaking by his side, the fact that he had branches in Moonlight Continent is no secret.

Huang Qian Yang set Xue Lian down on the bed and told her to call him if she needs anything.

'Oh crap, Zi Hua is still outside'

At this moment, Zi Hua timely knocked on her door.

"Come in"

"Nian Gao, are you okay? I found out that you got injured" Zi Hua looked with an expression full of worry.
