“If you can really help me find her, I will pay you back some other day.” Leng Yulin toasted to that man. Now he only needed to wait for the good news.

After returning to his mansion, Leng Yuhe kept thinking about how to celebrate Ruoqing’s birthday. Although Mingzhu promised to help him, he never had the experience of pleasing girls. He was afraid that if he did something wrong, he wouldn’t give Ruoqing a perfect birthday party.

To make all his plans go smoothly, Leng Yuhe immediately began to make preparations and called the housekeeper over.

“General, what can I do for you?”

“Change all the interior decorations in this residence into lavender ones. Please try your best to finish this by tomorrow.”

The housekeeper was a little confused. The interior decorations of the house were chosen by General Leng himself. Why did he suddenly want to change them? Besides, lavender was a little bit…

He suddenly understood General Leng’s intention. It seemed that lavender was Miss Su’s favorite color.

Leng Yuhe carefully recalled all the preferences of Ruoqing told by Mingzhu.

“Ruoqing’s eighteenth birthday is in a few days, which is a special one. What else should I do to give her a memorable birthday?”

Seeing Leng Yuhe thinking hard, the housekeeper said with a smile, “General, I have a suggestion. I am not sure if it’s appropriate.”

“Please tell me.”

“I’ve been serving Miss Su for so long, and I have known about her eating habits. She likes to eat sweet food. Nowadays, cakes are popular among young people. If you can make a birthday cake for Miss Su, I think she will be very happy and deeply moved.”

Being an old man, the housekeeper was experienced in love. He was trying his best to help Leng Yuhe win Su Ruoqing’s heart as soon as possible.

His words illuminated Leng Yuhe. He had never personally made something for Ruoqing.

Seeing that Leng Yuhe had agreed, the housekeeper quickly said, “Then I will go and find you the best chef specializing in cooking western food.”

On the other side, Su Ruoqing had woken up and the doctor sent by

Leng Yuhe had arrived.

“Ruoqing, Leng Yuhe asked a doctor to see how your recovery is going. He is definitely better than the one found by me. How about letting him check your physical condition?”

Knowing that her feet were seriously injured, Su Ruoqing nodded.

Mingzhu asked the doctor to come in. “Miss Su, although your wounds are healing, you have been walking too much recently, which might be detrimental to your recovery. Please try not to use your left foot, so as to ensure that it will return to normal.”

After saying that, the doctor gave her some ointment, and then Mingzhu sent him out.

“Ruoqing, do you hear him? If you keep walking, it will be harder for you to recover. You should lie in bed these days and have a good rest.”

Su Ruoqing nodded. She didn’t know that Mingzhu’s purpose of keeping her here was to help Leng Yuhe.

After seeing Leng Yuhe last time, Bai Peiya felt she had completely fallen in love with him. He was handsome and noble, which made him a perfect match for herself.

“Miss, the person you are looking for is not in General’s residence.”

“How is that possible? She claimed to be General Leng’s wife, didn’t she?”

“We bought a servant in General’s residence, and I got the news that she seemed to have a quarrel with General for some reason, and then she moved out.”

Bai Peiya rejoiced when hearing this. Could it be possible that Leng Yuhe quarreled with Su Ruoqing for the sake of her? If so, she must take this opportunity to worsen his relationship with Su Ruoqing.

“Help me find out where she went.”

Since this woman was out of Leng Yuhe’s sight now, she had to do something.

“Ruoqing, I’ll go out and buy some delicious food for you.”

Su Ruoqing smiled, for she knew it was Mingzhu who had a craving for delicacies. “Go ahead. I really need nourishment to stay strong.”

The two of them laughed together. Then Mingzhu took her things and left.

Lying on the bed, Su Ruoqing couldn’t do anything herself, and she couldn’t help thinking of Leng Yuhe.

Although she already believed in him, there must be countless women who took a fancy to him because of his high social status. It was impossible to drive so many women away from him.

When Su Ruoqing was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a familiar woman’s voice. “So you’re really here.”

Looking over, Su Ruoqing was a little surprised to see Bai Peiya.

“How can you live in such a small room?”

“I’ve always been living in such kind of house since I was a child. I’m used to it.”

Su Ruoqing didn’t show a friendly attitude towards Bai Peiya. If it weren’t for the fact that she saved her, she might have driven her out at once. After all, this shameless woman had seduced Leng Yuhe.

Bai Peiya smiled faintly. With a somewhat sarcastic tone, she said, “It’s true that the poor can never change their lifestyle.”

“Miss Bai, since you once saved me, I won’t make things difficult for you. Please don’t ridicule me on purpose. If you have nothing else to say, please leave.”

“Don’t rush to let me go. When I finish my words, I’ll leave. Do you think I like to stay in this shabby room?”

Not wanting to see her contemptuous look anymore, Su Ruoqing closed her eyes.

“I know Yuhe is engaged to you, but you have to know that getting engaged isn’t equal to getting married. Nowadays, even married people can get divorced. Do you think everything will go smoothly just because you’re engaged to him?”

Seeing Su Ruoqing just remain silent, Bai Peiya continued.

“I think you should be more rational. Yuhe may have feelings for you, but that’s because he was so lonely without my company. I went to study abroad for many years. Yuhe didn’t want me to go and we even had a big fight before I left. If I hadn’t gone abroad, he wouldn’t have fallen in love with you.”

Hearing this, Su Ruoqing frowned. Could it be possible that Bai Peiya was Leng Yuhe’s ex-girlfriend?

“But you’re not Yuhe’s first woman. Luckily for you, he hasn’t been tired of you yet. That’s why he keeps you by his side for so long. I believe you know how Yuhe treats other women.”

Su Ruoqing still remembered that sex partner of Leng Yuhe when she first met him. He hadn’t had sex with her yet. Was it because of the agreement they made about her eighteenth birthday?

Bai Peiya saw Su Ruoqing’s eyelashes trembling slightly, and she felt a little proud. She knew Su Ruoqing must have believed her words.

In fact, Bai Peiya didn’t even know Leng Yuhe’s previous behaviors. After returning from the battlefield, she sent someone to investigate the information about Leng Yuhe. In order to get her beloved man, she didn’t hesitate to come here and lie to Su Ruoqing. She just hoped that Su Ruoqing would voluntarily give up on him.

Su Ruoqing opened her eyes. “What on earth are you trying to say?”

“Yuhe will soon lose interest in you. If that’s the case, you know what will happen to you. I saved you once, and now I’ll save you again. You’d better leave Yuhe as quickly as possible, so you won’t be too miserable in the end.”

Su Ruoqing was still reluctant to believe her. “If what you say is true, how can you tolerate him to sleep with other women?”

Bai Peiya said with a sneer, “I’m different from you. As long as Yuhe loves me, I can forgive all the absurd things he does. I won’t even care about your existence.”

After saying that, Bai Peiya left. Her air of pride and confidence made her words sound real, and Su Ruoqing kind of believed in her. It was true that she was about to celebrate her eighteenth birthday in a few days, but how could Bai Peiya know this?

Su Ruoqing was in a mess at this moment, and she failed to notice that Bai Peiya didn’t give any solid evidence. However, Bai Peiya’s words were somewhat in sync with her own thoughts, and she began to doubt Leng Yuhe’s relationship with her.

Was it possible that Bai Peiya really had something to do with Leng Yuhe? Then what was she to him?

As she thought about it, Mingzhu came back. In order not to worry her, Su Ruoqing forced a smile.

At this time, Leng Yuhe was studying hard at home, trying to master the skill of making cakes taught by the pastry chef. He knew how to use guns, but it was rather difficult for him to use the kitchenware.

Leng Yuhe practiced for a long time. After failing many times and throwing away many ugly-looking cakes, he finally made a prettier one.

He still had to learn other things, but he wasn’t impatient at all. He was willing to challenge himself for Ruoqing.

In Province S.

Leng Yulin’s classmate found Wang Shicong.

“Cousin, I made acquaintance with someone when I was studying abroad, and he is now in love with a girl. I heard she is from Province S, so I want to ask you to help find her.”

Wang Shicong quickly agreed, “Cousin, don’t be so polite. I’m glad to be able to help you. Can you tell me the name and age of that girl he is looking for?”

“Her name is Su Zhiyou, and she is very young. I don’t know other details.”

When he heard Su Zhiyou’s name, Wang Shicong was a little stunned.

“Would you please tell me the identity of your classmate?” he asked with caution. Su Zhiyou’s identity was a bit special, and it was inevitable that someone might take advantage of her.

“He is from a rich family, and he studied abroad for many years. He returned to China recently and somehow fell in love with this girl.” He knew that he couldn’t tell Leng Yulin’s real identity to Wang Shicong. The war just ended, and if Wang Shicong knew Leng Yulin was Leng Yuhe’s brother, he might refuse to help him.

His carefulness indeed helped Leng Yulin.

After Wang Shicong heard this, his doubts gradually dissipated.

“It happens that I’ve heard of this girl. She seems to work in the government agency. I don’t know what position she holds, but I can help to get more information about her.”

“Since she works for the government, I’m sure she comes from a noble family too. My classmate’s taste for woman is really good.”

The two of them chatted for a long time. Before leaving, Leng Yulin’s friend said, “Cousin, please help me with this matter. I have other things to deal with at home, so I have to leave first. Please call me when you find her whereabouts.”

Wang Shicong quickly agreed and sent him away. After thinking for a while, he went to Su Zhiyou’s residence to find her.

Hearing the knock, Su Zhiyou went to open the door and saw Wang Shicong.

“Why are you here? What can I do for you?” They only met each other once, and Su Zhiyou was really surprised by his sudden visit.

“Someone entrusted me to find you.”

“Who?”

“An aristocratic said he was interested in you, and he wanted to know more about you.”

Wang Shicong carefully looked at Su Zhiyou’s expression, not wanting to miss any details.
