Chapter 0004: Rebirth and Return (3)

Ye Qingtang opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Ye Ling's worried gaze, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Yes.

Why should she care about those bastards? In this life, she only wants to protect those who care for her.

"Father, I will change my clothes now. You can go ahead," Ye Qingtang smiled slightly.

In the hall of the Ye family, a tall and handsome man was squatting on a chair, and beside him sat a graceful and beautiful girl.

"Duan Lang, about today's matter..." the girl's slightly worried brows furrowed as she bit her lip.

Duan Tianrao, sitting there, couldn't help but raise his hand and cover the girl's fair and delicate hand.

"Xuan'er, I will take care of everything. You don't need to worry," Duan Tianrao's gentle voice seemed as if it could drip with water.

Ye Xuan was originally an orphan picked up by Ye Ling from outside when she was still in swaddling clothes. She had been raised in the Ye family for sixteen years. Although she was an adopted daughter of the Ye family, she had been educated like the other young ladies of the Ye family. Despite not having the blood of the Ye family, her grace and beauty were no less than any other young lady of a prestigious family.

It was precisely because of Ye Xuan's beauty that she caught Duan Tianrao's attention.

Ye Xuan lowered her eyes, full of worry.

"The Ye family has raised me, and this matter... I'm afraid..." Duan Tianrao couldn't help but feel even more distressed seeing Ye Xuan's nervous appearance. He tightly held Ye Xuan's hand and said, "Xuan'er, although the Ye family has been kind to you, this matter has nothing to do with your relationship with the Ye family. You can rest assured. Whatever happens, I will take care of it for you."

Ye Xuan obediently nodded and looked at Duan Tianrao's caring appearance, a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.

At that moment, Ye Ling entered the hall, and Ye Xuan and Duan Tianrao quickly withdrew their hands. Seeing Ye Ling approaching, Duan Tianrao immediately stood up and bowed.

"Duan Tianrao greets Uncle Ye."

Ye Xuan also stood up and said, "Xuan'er greets Father."

Ye Ling nodded slightly and then looked at Duan Tianrao in front of him.

Ye Ling only had one daughter, Ye Qingtang, who was gentle and self-conscious due to the birthmark on her face. Therefore, finding a protective husband for her had always been Ye Ling's wish.

In the city of Lin, there were three major families, besides the Ye family, there were the Duan family and the Si family, all top-tier prestigious families. The marriage between the Ye and Duan families was not only a match of social status but also because of Duan Tianrao's doting on Ye Qingtang, which allowed Ye Ling to rest assured by entrusting Ye Qingtang to Duan Tianrao.

"Tianrao, Tangtang is still changing. She will be here shortly. Please wait," Ye Ling said with a smile.

A hint of unusual emotion flashed in Duan Tianrao's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He exchanged a glance with Ye Xuan beside him and then said with a smile, "No rush." After that, he nodded to the attendant next to him, who immediately placed a pile of brocade boxes he was holding on the table next to Ye Ling.

"I heard that Tangtang's spiritual roots were damaged, and her vitality was affected, so I specially prepared these supplements. Among them, there is a bottle of Mixed Yuan Pill, which has an excellent healing effect. I hope it can help Tangtang recover some vitality," Duan Tianrao spoke with elegance and grace.

Ye Ling was very satisfied, "This Mixed Yuan Pill is quite rare. I was also planning to find some for Tangtang, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. You truly love Tangtang, and I can rest assured."

"It's my duty," Duan Tianrao humbly replied.
