Chapter 217: Border Issue

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

After sending Ke Nuo back to her palace, Ke Ruan wanted to keep her company. But for the first time, his sister stopped pestering him and pushed him out instead. He had no choice but to ask the maids to take good care of her and gather many guards to stay right there around the palace.

He ordered that as soon as anything happened, he should be informed immediately.

On the way back to Ruanhan Palace, the cold autumn wind blew past and a certain position on his back was particularly cold as hell.

Seeing that Si Yuhan was sitting on the bed, he didn’t say much. He just walked over and sat on the chair, then poured himself a glass of water.

“Why didn’t you stop Nuonuo?” Ke Ruan asked him to keep his eyes on her before he went to talk to Yu Xin.

Ke Ruan didn’t even notice the complaints in his own words. Si Yuhan got up and sat opposite him, saying softly, “It’s my fault. Sorry. After you left, there was news coming from the border, so I left for a while.”

The border issue was definitely a big deal. Previously, General Lin had requested to go to the border. Even Qi Cheng had followed him there. Now, there were not many people left here around Si Yuhan.

“Did something happen?” Ke Ruan looked up at him with worried eyes.

Si Yuhan knew what he was worried about, and a flicker of coldness crossed his eyes but soon faded away.

Ke Ruan was in a bad mood now. If he lost his temper too, their relationship would be threatened.

“Don’t worry. It’s fine. It’s not a big deal.”

Ke Ruan nodded. “That’s good then. If something happens, be sure to let me know. Don’t hide it from me and take it all on your own. I will do everything I can to help.”

Looking at Ke Ruan’s sincere face, Si Yuhan smiled and reached out to hold him in his arms, “Of course you can help me. Only you can help me.”

Ke Ruan was interested. The male lead was the most powerful man he knew. He was just saying, not expecting that there were really something he could do to help.

So when Si Yuhan said that, he was curious.

“What is it?”

Si Yuhan’s eyes darkened and whispered to his ears. Ke Ruan thought that he was being way too mysterious. After all, this was his territory, and there were his men all over the place. What was there to be afraid of?

Until the man’s breath became hot along with his words, Ke Ruan felt like his mind was exploding and he was like a spicy fragrant pot shrimp which was hot and red from inside to outside.

Ke Ruan felt that he was getting more and more useless. He raised Si Yuhan in a way for some time. He really lost face for acting like this.

Without really thinking about it, Ke Ruan immediately stood up. “I’m really worried about my sister. I’d better keep her company. You go get some rest.”

Si Yuhan would never let him run away like that. So he ran faster than him and got in his way with a big smile on his face.

In the past seven years, he had no choice but to lie on this cold bed alone with the only memento he had in his hands, waiting and hoping.

He would never ever live like that again. Not a chance!

“It’s not that. I’m really worried about my sister.”

“Nothing will happen. I’ll send someone to guard her.”

Ke Ruan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “It’s no use guarding her. She ran away before, didn’t she?”

Si Yuhan’s face stiffened. He couldn’t tell him that he did it on purpose. Otherwise, Ke Ruan wouldn’t stop about it.

No! The night was too short.

He didn’t want to waste his time on the meaningless dialogue.

Si Yuhan was always practical. He didn’t say much. He just did it. So it was too late before Ke Ruan could say a word of rejection.
