Chapter 1807: Chapter 1808: Does the Master Really Fancy This Young Woman?

Chu Aotian paused for a moment, then smiled broadly, placing his large, strong hand on her shoulder with a hearty laugh, "I didn’t help you for a reward. You don’t need to feel any burden. Besides, haven’t you already thanked me?"

He pulled out an A4 paper and waved it in front of Rong Yan, his mature face smiling as he said, "I really like this. I’m sure my wife will like it too."

Rong Yan pursed her lips, touched by his warmth, and offered again, "Mr. Nie, if it’s convenient, when we get to Capital City, I’d like to invite you and your wife to dinner."

She hurriedly spoke before Chu Aotian, "I know with Mr. Nie’s status, you surely don’t lack money or invitations. I mean nothing else — just pure gratitude for your help. No matter how easy it might have been for you to help me, it was like saving my life."

"I originally wanted to say that if you ever need help in the future, I’ll do my utmost."

She smiled, her beautiful eyes candid and clear, "But that seems too insincere. No matter how I look at it, with my abilities, there won’t be a day I can truly help."

Chu Aotian listened quietly to her words, gently without interrupting, allowing her to finish.

Rong Yan took a deep breath and said sincerely again, "So, if there’s an opportunity, I’d like to invite you and your wife for a meal and act as your temporary guide, showing you around Capital City."

She hastened to add while waving her hand, "That’s just a thought of mine, it’s okay if it’s inconvenient for you."

She could tell that this ’Mr. Nie’ was out of the ordinary, and he might not have time for her meal or need her to guide him around Capital City.

So after expressing her thoughts, she quickly added another line.

"If it’s inconvenient, just pretend I never mentioned it."

Chu Aotian’s tea-brown eyes lit up with amusement, "You’ve already said it, and I’ve heard it, it seems I can’t just pretend you didn’t say it."

"..." Rong Yan felt a bit awkward.

He clasped his hands behind his back, saying steadily, "I mentioned to you yesterday about my wife’s situation, she’s been downcast and unwell because of our lost daughter, and she doesn’t really like meeting unfamiliar people. As for the meal, I’ll ask her opinion when we reach Capital City. If she’s willing, we can have a meal together. If not, it’s okay, I’ve received your sentiment. Like I said, I helped you purely because you resemble my wife in her youth, reminding me of my lost daughter. So, no need to feel burdened."

"There’s a bakery up ahead, let’s go. The coffee by the Rhine is very authentic, you probably haven’t tried it, want to give it a shot?"

Since he’d put it this way, persisting in expressing gratitude would seem overly pretentious, so Rong Yan glanced toward the riverside café and nodded, "Sure."

"Let’s go."

They walked ahead, while actually followed by quite a few people. The bodyguards around Chu Aotian were no ordinary individuals; they blended almost perfectly into the crowd.

Even so, their attention to Rong Yan did not wane.

For one simple reason — besides his wife, the master had never shown such interest in anyone else. How many times had he smiled at that young girl today!

The master not only intervened in the mercenary’s affairs to help this girl but also personally wanted to bring her back to the country...
