Chapter 353 - 352: Ambushed
Fan Qianshu listened intently and, seeing the bright gleam in Fei Erya’s eyes, asked, "Are they really as good as you say?"
"Yes, they are really very good. Yiyi has really helped me a lot."
Fei Erya nodded heavily, her eyes filled with sincerity and gratitude.
Seeing Fei Erya like this, Fan Qianshu couldn’t help but pat her hair and said, "Alright, since Ding Yiyi is your best friend, she will be our good friend as well."
"She already is our good friend."
Fei Erya said this as a matter of course.
Fan Qianshu nodded with a smile upon seeing this.
On the other side, Yiyi was also talking to Gu Tingyu about Fei Erya, "I noticed that Fan Qianshu really has feelings for Erya now. That’s good. I was worried that Erya might get hurt before."
Speaking about Fei Erya and Fan Qianshu, Yiyi remembered the previous matters between Fan Qianshu and Zhang Li, "Did you find out anything else about Zhang Li and Fan Qianshu besides them being neighbors?"
Gu Tingyu responded, "There’s no substantial progress yet. We only know that their relationship is not just neighbors; they might be part of the same organization."
Hearing this, Yiyi sighed and said, "It seems we need to continue investigating."
"Yes, but you can also remind Fei Erya to be more careful herself."
Yiyi nodded in agreement, saying, "I’ll remind Erya next time."
After saying this, Yiyi didn’t mention it further but instead looked at Gu Tingyu and asked, "When are you leaving this time?"
"Tomorrow afternoon."
Hearing this, Yiyi’s eyes showed reluctance, "I wonder how long you’ll be gone this time."
"Don’t worry, it won’t be long. Once the mission is over, I think I can even take a day off. Then I’ll come to see you," Gu Tingyu said, patting the little girl’s head, his eyes also filled with reluctance.
Feeling the warmth of Gu Tingyu’s palm, Yiyi rubbed her cheek against it, softly saying, "Then I’ll wait for you to come back. When you do, we can buy some things to properly decorate our future home."
"Okay."
Gu Tingyu felt his heart melt at Yiyi’s words. The thought of them having their own home, just him and Yiyi, was heartwarming.
The two of them stayed in Yiyi’s small courtyard chatting away.
Ding Yuejun, considering how rare it is for the young couple to meet, didn’t come to disturb them. It wasn’t until it was almost dinner time that she came over to call them to eat.
Old Master Ding was already in the dining room. Seeing Yiyi and Gu Tingyu arrive, he couldn’t help but tease: "You young people really have a lot to talk about, chatting away all afternoon. If you still haven’t finished, I suppose Tingyu might as well stay over at our house for the night."
Unexpectedly, Gu Tingyu directly replied, "Thank you, Grandpa, I’ll head back tomorrow morning."
Old Master Ding’s smile froze at Gu Tingyu’s words.
The words were meant to be polite, yet Gu Tingyu readily agreed to stay, leaving Old Master Ding to ponder if he regretted it.
Seeing Old Master Ding’s expression, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but want to laugh, guessing that the old man was probably regretting it now.
However, she didn’t oppose the idea. Gu Tingyu and her daughter had so little time to see each other, and with many available guest rooms, it wasn’t a problem at all to have him stay over.
"In that case, Tingyu, you can stay over tonight. The courtyard next to Yiyi’s is empty, so you can stay there."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu thanked Aunt Ding with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Ding." Initially, he felt a bit embarrassed agreeing, but then he figured staying at his fiancée’s house wasn’t a big deal. Plus, he would have more time to talk with Yiyi in the evening, which was an unexpected gain.
Old Master Ding, seeing his daughter had arranged everything, said no more, but couldn’t help but purse his lips.
Gu Tingyu was indeed a bit thick-skinned, but since he had already spoken first, he couldn’t say much now.
After dinner, Gu Tingyu didn’t return to his guest room but went to Yiyi’s small courtyard instead.
Seeing Gu Tingyu following her, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile with her lips pressed, "You really agreed with Grandpa immediately."
"Yes, I wanted to talk with you more."
Gu Tingyu said as he stepped forward to hold Yiyi’s hand, and they slowly walked forward.
Feeling the warmth in her palm, Yiyi didn’t say much, but the smile at the corner of her eyes was impossible to hide.
However, early the next morning, Gu Tingyu departed.
"Alright, Yiyi, let’s go inside."
Seeing her daughter still staring ahead, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but call out.
Upon hearing her, Yiyi snapped back to reality and said, "Mom, I’m going to the pharmaceutical factory later."
"Alright, but you should go inside and change your clothes first."
Looking down at her casual attire, Yiyi smiled and walked back with her mother.
When Yiyi left, Ding Yuejun also went out. She had to fully participate in the cooperation case between the Chu Family and the Fang Family, making her quite busy lately.
As for Yiyi, after getting out of the car, she walked directly towards the pharmaceutical factory. However, she hadn’t walked far when she sensed something amiss.
She had taken this road to the factory countless times, but it had never been as quiet as it was today.
Observing her surroundings, Yiyi cautiously stopped, "Come out, I see you."
After saying this, Yiyi quietly waited, but the surroundings remained silent, devoid of anyone.
"Hmph... If you won’t come out when asked, then just don’t come out at all."
Swiftly, Yiyi took a sudden dash forward to the left.
"Bang..."
The sound of a heavy impact echoed, revealing a burly young man in front of Yiyi. The man, failing his attack, lunged at her again.
Yiyi’s expression remained unchanged, though she pondered who might have sent someone to block her. Yet, despite her many thoughts, she found no clues.
Shaking her head, Yiyi decided not to dwell on it. The priority now was to deal with the person in front of her.
"Bang..."
With a single palm strike, the burly man before her fell to the ground, but unexpectedly, he quickly stood back up.
"Your skills are impressive."
Yiyi sincerely commented.
With her current level, most people wouldn’t be a match for her, yet this burly man blocked several of her attacks.
Despite this, the burly man didn’t seem too pleased. He gave Yiyi a steady look before blowing a whistle in his hand.
As the whistle sounded, several more people silently appeared, and Yiyi’s expression grew more serious, realizing a tough battle awaited her.
