Chapter 86: A Life-Saving Grace

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Ruan sighed and waved to one of the soldiers beside him. “You, go and buy a bowl of wonton for Childe Han. Make it quick and bring it back while it’s hot.”

“Yes!”

Ke Ruan glanced at his room and rubbed amid his eyebrows. Apart from the male lead himself, no one knew better than himself how much the male lead envied his original self’s childhood, which had a family and a group of people who adored him.

The radical personalities of the male lead were very probably owing to it.

If at the beginning, Ke Ruan was still a little wavering, now he was certain that he was right.

Ke Ruan sent for the person he had ordered to investigate. Since he was certain, he had to look into all aspects.

“Did you find out about everything?” Ke Ruan sat on the stool with his fingers pinching the cup, looking a little nervous at the soldiers.

“Your Highness, the family that you mentioned did not have any misbehavior. The family of three are happy and harmonious. Apart from some financial difficulties, there is no potential danger.”

Ke Ruan nodded. He knew his judgement was right.

“That’s good then. Have you delivered my message?”

“I have already told them very clearly. Besides, as Your Highness has ordered, they will be paid lavishly.”

Ke Ruan nodded. “Since everything is ready, you can quit for now.”

“Yes!”

The room instantly fell quiet, but Ke Ruan felt that his mind was in a mess. He couldn’t tell his feeling clearly. Is it fear, worry, or longing?

He sighed. After all, he had taken care of and tried to please the kid for so long. It would definitely hurt if he just let go of him.

Ke Ruan ruffled his hair, irritated!

There came the knocking on the door, followed by Lin Qingye’s voice.

“Childe, it’s me.”

Ke Ruan said, “Come in, please.”

Lin Qingye walked in and closed the door. As he saw Ke Ruan’s scowling look, he came forward in haste. Then he seemed to realize his abrupt action, he slowed down his steps.

“Your Highness.” Lin Qingye bowed.

Ke Ruan was stunned. As he hadn’t been addressed in this way by him for long, he was not used to it. “General Lin, you don’t have to.”

“The hierarchical etiquette should be followed.”

Ke Ruan, “…”

Fine, brother, whatever you want.

“What is General Lin seeking me for?”

“I have two issues.”

Ke Ruan nodded, “Sit down and talk.”

Without courtesies, Lin Qingye sat directly opposite Ke Ruan and said, “First, thank you for saving my life.”

A life-saving grace?

Ke Ruan didn’t react for a moment.

“What did you say? I didn’t…”

Lin Qingye lowered his head, hiding the strange light in his eyes, and his fingers curled up tightly. He felt the heat on his lips went up more.

“Your Highness, I will never forget the your grace of saving my life.”

Ke Ruan suddenly remembered that Lin Qingye was drowning before, but all in all, he fell into the water to save him.

“General Lin, you don’t have to mention that. You fell into the water to save me.”

No one knew that well-known General Lin could not swim.

At this, a rare trace of embarrassment appeared on Lin Qingye’s face.

“In short, Your Highness’ life-saving grace…”

“Stop!” Ke Ruan helplessly prevented him from going on.

“General Lin, what is the second thing you mentioned?”

Lin Qingye turned serious. “What’s your plan for Childe Han?”
