CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 240: I WILL PROTECT YOU

In the Maple Forest, the two were walking hand in hand.

Large swathes of maple leaves stained the sky red.

Tang Suiyu suddenly exclaimed, "Senior Brother, is that Flame Mountain ahead?"

Ye Gushen looked down at her, "..."

"Hahaha! Uncle Ye, your reaction is so funny!"

Did he really not have any reaction?

Ye Gushen’s face was cold and stern, "Excuse me, are you Second Martial Brother or Sha Wu Jing?"

"I’m the White Dragon Horse..."

"Can you be ridden?"

"..." Tang Suiyu blinked her big eyes. Was her thought too dirty?

"Uncle Ye, you’re so bad!" She ran off.

Ye Gushen followed behind her, "Slow down."

"It’s okay! I’ve been here many times!" Tang Suiyu had just finished saying this, when a loud shout echoed, "Ah!"

"Ruannuan!"

Ye Gushen ran over, anxious.

Tang Suiyu was already standing beside Jin Mobei, who was holding a paintbrush, painting.

Jin Mobei looked at her with a handsome smile, "Little Sui Sui, did you come here specifically to find Brother Bei?"

"I’m just strolling with Uncle Ye." Tang Suiyu stared at his drawing board, "Brother Bei, your paintings are getting better and better!"

"It’s a pity there’s no Little Suisi in this painting. If you had come earlier, Brother Bei would have painted you in." Jin Mobei stood up, "Since Sui Sui came to pick me up, let’s go back together!"

Jin Mobei packed up his things, glancing at Ye Gushen who was walking over, "Uncle Ye, busy with endless tasks, still found time for a weekend stroll?"

"Time with a wife must be made, no matter how busy." Ye Gushen naturally held Tang Suiyu’s small hand, "I can’t compare to Mr. Jin, who has so much free time."

"I am quite free! If Sui Sui wants to go anywhere recently and you don’t have time to accompany her, I have plenty of time to spare!" Jin Mobei put away his drawing board and held it in his hand, "Little Sui Sui, remember to come find me!"

"I’m busy recently, too." Tang Suiyu murmured, "Let’s go back then!"

The three walked back together.

Tang Suiyu was unexpectedly silent in the middle.

Tang Suiyu liked quiet when she was alone, but now with three people, should they not chat a bit?

"Ye..."

"Bang!"

Tang Suiyu had just uttered a syllable when the sound of a gunshot rang out by her ear. She was pulled into Ye Gushen’s arms.

The two swiftly moved to stand behind a large tree, and Jin Mobei had adopted the same posture on the opposite side.

Tang Suiyu’s heart was pounding.

Gunshot?

Ye Gushen pulled out a gun, his eyes scanning around, "Are you scared?"

"A little..." Her heart was nearly jumping out just now!

"I will protect you." Ye Gushen held her small hand tightly.

The Maple Forest had too many places to hide.

On the trees, on the ground in the distance, tree trunks⁠—in the range of vision, it was very likely to be disguised.

Jin Mobei looked at the two embracing each other, Ye Gushen’s handsome face was cold, exuding a chilling aura. Ye Gushen holding a gun was truly the iron-blooded figure of the Chi Cheng Army!

"Uncle Ye, have they left?" Forgive her, she really had no experience with ambushes.

"No." Ye Gushen pressed her against the tree trunk, his back to her.

Tang Suiyu was caught between the tree trunk and his back, completely protected.

Tang Suiyu’s heart trembled, her small hand held onto his clothes, then slowly let go.

It seemed she shouldn’t hold him back, what if he needs to move!

One minute, two minutes...

Five minutes later, Ye Gushen took her small hand, "Let’s go back."

"Ah? Have they left?" Tang Suiyu looked around in a swirl, the entire Maple Forest seemed to only have the three of them there.
