With Ye Chen's company, Li Ruo's pain was significantly alleviated. The two chatted and laughed together on their way back to the Mountain and Sea Villa District. Ye Chen stayed by her side the entire time; although there were servants at home to take care of her, he just couldn't leave her alone. Nowadays, servants only have eyes for money, not emotions. In their eyes, employers were high above, not to be offended, let alone befriend. The rich and the poor dwell in different circles, never to mix.
"Ye Chen, you can go back first. I'm fine now!" Li Ruo glanced at Ye Chen.
"I'm not worried," Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I'll stay with you a bit longer, to help you quickly get over the pain!"
"I'm really fine!" Li Ruo gently pushed Ye Chen and then smiled, "I'm someone with a strong inner self, yet a fragile exterior. So, you don't have to worry about me at all!"
"Alright then," Ye Chen, seeing Li Ruo so insistent, didn't continue to press the issue.
