Chapter 104: His Ancestor

Long Fei turned slowly and his lips curled into a smile. "What do you think?"

"I don't know." Su Ruan naturally would not mention her meeting with that little dragon. "Since there was such a legend, perhaps the lake dragon really exists?"

"I think so as well," Long Fei said. "Perhaps, hundreds or thousands of years before, a creature such as a dragon existed. Otherwise, how would people know about its existence?"

There was a complicated look on Su Ruan's face as she listened to Long Fei's words.

This was not the first time that Long Fei had mentioned the lake dragon. From the beginning, Su Ruan had suspected that Long Fe would know something about her little friend.

Her heartbeat accelerated as she wonder if Long Fei knew of her connection with the dragon.

"Do you find it strange that I continued to talk about the legend?" Long Fei saw the change in Su Ruan's expression and worried that perhaps he had scared her again.

Su Ruan shrugged. "Sort of." There was a sheepish smile on her face.

Long Fei laughed. "You should remember that I have mentioned how someone among the villagers had snuck into the cage and helped the dragon to escape."

Su Ruan nodded.

"The person who had helped the dragon to escape... is said to be my ancestor."

Her eyes widened in surprise. "That was why you often talked about the dragon."

Long Fei smiled. "Uh-huh. This was perhaps the reason why our family flourished in this town. It was said that the dragon had blessed our family. In exchange, the Long family has to stay in this town and protect it from outsiders who wanted to disturb the lake."

"Then, the first time you told me about the dragon, were you trying to warn me not to disturb the lake?" Su Ruan tilted her head and stared at him inquiringly. "After all, I am an outsider."

"You are thinking too much." The look on his face turned gentler. "I was genuinely wanting to initiate a conversation with you."

Seeing the carefree look on his face, Su Ruan decided to believe his words. "It was really a strange topic to talk about with the person you just met," Su Ruan mumbled to herself but her words were still audible to the man.

Long Fei turned around suddenly and turned to Su Ruan. "I can't help it. After all, I have never been in a relationship before or chased after anyone. You are the first."

They were initially talking about the lake dragon but the topic had suddenly changed.

Su Ruan stared back at Long Fei with a dazed look on her face. The thought that she was the first person that someone like Long Fei wanted to chase was shocking.

As someone who had stayed in his position, surely, Long Fei had encountered a lot of good and talented women.

Then, why would he be interested in her?

She was not the prettiest or the most talented.

Moreover... didn't he tell her that he wanted to get to know her? When did it change to chasing after her?

Her heartbeat accelerated and Su Ruan did not dare to look at Long Fei's face at this time. She walked close to the lake and looked into the water, seemingly trying to enjoy the scenery.

Initially, Su Ruan wanted to ask Long Fei a little bit more about the legend and find out if he knew anything about the little dragon. But she had forgotten everything she wanted to ask.

In the end, the two of them continued to stay around the lake while enjoying the scenery. Their conversation now revolved around the scenery.

Before the sky turned dark, Long Fei had taken Su Ruan to leave the place and the two of them headed to the town center. The two of them had their dinner at the restaurant where they once had breakfast together and left.

After she returned to her room, Su Ruan stood in front of her window and let the cold air blow to her face. She waited for the little dragon to show up, but the little dragon did not show up as she had hoped for.

Disappointed, Su Ruan closed the window and went to bed.

...

The next morning, Su Ruan found that her cousin, Ma Yu Xi was already waiting for her at the dining table. Ma Yu Xi waited for Su Ruan to have her breakfast patiently. The moment Su Ruan put down her cutlery, Ma Yu Xi quickly dragged her to a quiet part in the orchard to talk.

"Sister Ruan, tell me what is going on between you and Young Master Long?" Ma Yu Xi's face was full of excitement. "My aunt said that the two of you were going out to discuss some work matter. Really?"

After running into her cousin who was on her way out to meet Long Fei, Ma Yu Xi had tried to get the answer from Long Yu Heng, but the man told her that he did not know anything about them as he was currently not in town.

Ma Yu Xi's curiosity would not let her be at ease until she figured out the answer. Therefore, she came over to find her cousin first thing in the morning.

Su Ruan let out a cough. "Well, my mom isn't wrong. I am going out to discuss a few work matters with that young master."

Ma Yu Xi narrowed her eyes. The look on her face told Su Ruan that she did not believe her words.

"You should know that he owned a media company. Last time, he heard that I have previously worked for a magazine. He wanted to offer me to work at his company."

"Ah? Sister Ruan, are you leaving D Town soon?"

"No. It's just freelance work. I can still write while staying here."

Ma Yu Xi heaved in relief. It was not easy for Su Ruan to return to this town. She did not get to show her around as much as she liked. It would be too sad if Su Ruan had to leave soon.

A few seconds later, Ma Yu Xi quickly noticed that there was something wrong.

It seemed that a certain someone had deliberately tried to change the subject.

Before that person could escape, Ma Yu Xi had grabbed her arms, stopping Su Ruan from leaving. Seeing the guilty look on Su Ruan's face confirmed her suspicion. "Sister Ruan, what are you not telling me?"

"Well, there is another thing..." Su Ruan laughed awkwardly. Her voice turned to whisper as she spoke, "We are sort of in the process of getting to know each other."

Ma Yu Xi sucked in a deep breath upon hearing the news. What 'getting to know each other'? Wasn't that the same as dating?
