While others might not see the subtle flirtations between Ye Feng and Lin Yuqing, there was one person who saw them clearly.

Lin Zhenshan.

Ever since Ye Feng helped the old man recover his health, he has been walking around the manor every day. He is ostensibly taking a walk to maintain his health, but secretly his eyes are fixed on his daughter and the "bodyguard".

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the old man was increasingly pleased with it, finding it more and more appealing.

The young man possessed unparalleled medical skills and martial arts prowess, helping him kill the Li family who had harmed his wife and daughter. He also helped his daughter stabilize the Lin family's empire. Most importantly, this young man had principles and a sense of responsibility, and he doted on his daughter so much that he couldn't bear to see even a single hair on her head get hurt.

Lin Zhenshan couldn't find a son-in-law like this even with a lantern.

"Dad, why have you been staring at me like that these past few days?" Lin Yuqing felt uneasy under her father's gaze during lunch one day.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lin Zhenshan stroked his beard and smiled, his expression seemingly unassuming, but his gaze was fixed on Ye Feng, who was sitting next to him gnawing on a chicken leg. Then he looked at her with great affection and said, "Daughter, I just feel that you've been looking radiant lately, as if you've encountered something happy."

Lin Yuqing belatedly realized the meaning behind her father's words, her pretty face flushed red, and she shoveled rice into her bowl, not daring to look up, saying, "Father, don't talk nonsense..."

Ye Feng paused in his chicken leg-eating motion, then coughed awkwardly.

Lin Zhenshan, seeing their reactions, was secretly delighted, but outwardly feigned nonchalance and asked, "Little Ye, how's your tribulation going?"

"Thanks to Yuqing," Ye Feng put down his chicken leg and said seriously, "we can keep things under control for now."

"Alright, alright." Lin Zhenshan nodded repeatedly, then changed the subject meaningfully, saying, "My daughter saved your life; that's an incredible stroke of luck. But saving your life isn't enough; you have to stay with her for a lifetime to truly honor God's arrangement. Don't you agree?"

He practically wore the words "Hurry up and marry off your daughter to me" on his face.

Lin Yuqing wished she could disappear into a hole: "Father!"

Ye Feng chuckled at the old fox's cloying grin, then, without any hesitation, met Lin Zhenshan's expectant gaze and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. In my life, Ye Feng has only ever truly recognized one person. She saved my life, and from now on, she will naturally be mine!"

He spoke with such frankness and conviction.

Lin Yuqing looked up abruptly, meeting his eyes. Her heart pounded wildly, her face flushed hot enough to fry an egg. She scolded playfully, "Who...who wants to kill you...?"

Lin Zhenshan clapped his hands, beaming with pride, "Good! Good lad! You've got guts! That's well said, this old man is listening!"

Lin Yuqing's face was burning hot, so embarrassed that she wanted to bury her head on the table. Her ears were secretly getting hot, but she ate her food even more deliciously.

The old man ate with even more relish than during the Chinese New Year.

With the support and endorsement of his "father-in-law," Ye Feng's position in the Lin family became even more secure. In everyone's mouth, the word "bodyguard" was no longer appropriate.

Just a few days ago, a relative of the Lin family, whom they had always considered unworthy, came over to freeload. The first thing he said was that Lin Yuqing had actually hired a "bodyguard from the countryside." He then started yelling at Lin Yuqing all over the room, "Yuqing, you are the CEO of the Lin Group. How can you be with a servant like you... It would be so embarrassing if word got out."

Snapped--

Lin Zhenshan slammed his foot on the table, slamming his teacup down. His eyes gleamed with rage. He pounded the table with one hand, shouting, "Which servant? What do you mean, 'servant'? This Doctor Ye is a medical master whom even Old Master He Huai-ren addresses with the utmost respect. He saved our Lin family from annihilation. In terms of skill and character, you can't even compare to a single hair of his. If you dare utter such nonsense again, don't even think about setting foot in this house!"

The man's face turned pale from the scolding, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Yuqing found it both amusing and heartbreaking to see her father protecting Ye Feng.

Ye Feng wasn't angry at all, and happily picked up another chicken leg for himself—he couldn't be bothered with this kind of clown, and the old man would stand up for him anyway. Before, he was a quiet and reserved person on Nirvana Mountain, but now, with his father-in-law protecting him in the Lin family, and people caring about him, even if he suffered a loss, someone would stand up for him. This feeling of being treated like family was something he had never experienced in his twenty-odd years of life, and it felt very comfortable.

The "periodic onset" of that tribulation also became a regular occurrence thanks to Lin Yuqing's "good remedy" that constantly regulated it.

Approximately every seven to eight days, Ye Feng's chest would experience another "death calamity." Whenever this happened, no matter the time, Lin Yuqing would always remain quiet, placing her wrist in Ye Feng's hand so he could take her pulse and treat her.

Over time, that shyness gradually faded and transformed into a warm feeling of mutual dependence.

Sometimes, after they had finished their reconciliation, it was very late, but they didn't rush to separate. The two of them would just sit in the corridor, looking at the moonlight and chatting idly.

"Ye Feng".

One day, Lin Yuqing suddenly asked him, her small face trembling slightly in the moonlight, "Tell me, when will your tribulation be completely over... will you stay in the Lin family?"

Ye Feng looked at her, his little face showing unease.

He reached out and took her hand, their fingers intertwined.

"Silly girl," he said softly, "I have never stayed here because of that tribulation."

Lin Yuqing's heart skipped a beat, and her face secretly flushed in the night.

Without asking anything, she gently took his hand and rested her head lightly on his shoulder.

At this moment, a thousand words need not be spoken.

From a down-on-his-luck man randomly rescued on the street, to the man who could warm her up, who was also the one who saved her. From a contractual relationship of 100,000 yuan a month at the beginning, to the current relationship of mutual dependence and shared fate, the journey has been bumpy but also natural.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the moonlight was just right.

That near-death experience, in retrospect, has become a red thread that binds the two of them together.

One is responsible for being rescued, and the other is responsible for rescuing people; they are truly a perfect match.

It's a pity that such a good time won't last long...

Zhao Hui, who was leisurely sitting in the courtyard drinking tea after the Li family's demise, was the person hidden deepest in the entire game, a being even more powerful than the Li family—already coveting the Lin family, which was at the height of its power!
