Chapter 2309 - 2310: Subtle Warmth
"Whoosh!"
A cold glint, like lightning, swiftly swept toward Ye Xunhuan with unstoppable momentum, seemingly aiming for a one-hit kill.
In the blink of an eye, just as the gleaming blade was about to pierce Ye Xunhuan's chest, his right hand suddenly reached out and caught the blinding gleam.
Once Ye Xunhuan had caught hold of it, the gleam halted in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch further!
"Isn't this a bit excessive?"
Ye Xunhuan looked at the woman in front of him, dressed in black leather like a spy in countless espionage films, and said helplessly.
A-Li snorted lightly, her face expressionless. "Who told you to rush in without knocking or saying a word?"
A-Li was Su Guyan's personal bodyguard, utterly loyal to her. Thanks to A-Li, Su Guyan hadn't been harmed by anyone.
While A-Li might not handle someone of high skill, she could easily manage ordinary threats, and besides, Su Guyan was just a regular businesswoman without enemies like Ye Xunhuan. So unless Ye Xunhuan's enemies came for Su Guyan, A-Li could handle most situations.
"I really didn't expect you to be so cautious and vigilant!" Ye Xunhuan said softly.
While speaking, Ye Xunhuan stood up and released A-Li's Willow-leaf Saber.
"It's my duty," A-Li said coolly.
After she spoke, A-Li stopped paying attention to Ye Xunhuan and turned to go back to her bedroom downstairs.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but remark again, "You realize if I wanted to kill you earlier, you'd be a corpse by now…"
"Not everyone is like you."
A-Li said without turning her head.
A-Li knew well that Ye Xunhuan was formidable and that she wasn't his match, but as he said, not everyone was Ye Xunhuan.
With A-Li's words echoing in his ears, Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head, said nothing more, and headed upstairs.
A-Li knew Ye Xunhuan was there to see Su Guyan and understood their relationship, which is why she didn't stop him.
Moreover, A-Li's earlier attack on Ye Xunhuan was almost instinctive.
Once upstairs, Ye Xunhuan made his way to Su Guyan's bedroom.
Inside the bedroom, Su Guyan, tired from reading, was just about to turn off the lights when Ye Xunhuan appeared at her door.
Because of A-Li's presence, Su Guyan didn't have the habit of locking her bedroom door at night, so Ye Xunhuan simply pushed it open and entered.
"Creak!"
The door opened with a sound.
Hearing the door, Su Guyan immediately turned her head toward the entrance.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan's figure filled Su Guyan's sight.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan, Su Guyan's face was instantly filled with surprise and disbelief. At that moment, she almost thought she was hallucinating and instinctively rubbed her eyes.
As Su Guyan rubbed her eyes, Ye Xunhuan's voice quietly reached her ears.
"It's not a hallucination, it's me!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Su Guyan put her hands down, feeling excited and thrilled, and immediately got up from the bed to approach Ye Xunhuan.
In an instant, Su Guyan reached Ye Xunhuan and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.
At that moment, embracing Ye Xunhuan and hearing his strong, powerful heartbeat, Su Guyan was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of safety and contentment.
Ye Xunhuan hadn't visited her in a while. Although Su Guyan wanted to call him, she knew he must be busy with many things.
She was afraid calling him would distract him or make him overthink, so she resisted the urge.
Now, with his sudden arrival, Su Guyan was filled with overwhelming joy and immediately hugged him.
Embraced by Su Guyan, Ye Xunhuan could clearly feel her longing for him, stirring a deep sense of compassion within.
Originally, Ye Xunhuan thought he would never have ties with Su Guyan again, but fate had other plans. They not only reunited, but as time passed, Ye Xunhuan discovered the truth about their breakup, filling him with a profound sense of guilt towards her.
She ended things, prioritizing his safety while silently enduring all she didn't have to, and he resented her for it.
Now that the misunderstandings were cleared up and they were back together, albeit often apart, Ye Xunhuan's guilt intensified.
After hugging him for a while, Su Guyan released Ye Xunhuan and looked at him tenderly, "Why didn't you let me know you were coming...?"
"I wanted to surprise you."
Ye Xunhuan said, gently reaching out to caress Su Guyan's cheek.
"Weren't you away from Jiangzhong City before? When did you get back?"
"Just now!"
"You must be exhausted!" Su Guyan said with concern. "Sit down and rest. I'll get some hot water for you to soak your feet!"
"If you want to shower, you can do that too!"
Su Guyan didn't ask what Ye Xunhuan had been up to. Like a dutiful wife, she didn't pry but focused on helping him relax after a long day, away from daily worries.
This is why Ye Xunhuan sought out Su Guyan and why he found unprecedented peace with her.
Unlike other women, Su Guyan wouldn't question him but would instead take gentle care, providing the warmth of a home.
Su Guyan and Tang Yurou were completely the same type– always gentle in front of their man, like water.
Both Su Guyan and Tang Yurou are the dream wives for men who, after a tiring and possibly stressful day, return home to their soothing embrace and the warmth of their care.
