Chapter 52: Impatient Elders

Long Yu Heng was on his way to Long Fei's room when an elder man stopped him on his track. Once he realized who was that person, the look on Long Yu Heng's face turned gentler. "Dad."

The man with salt and pepper hair nodded at him. "Where are you rushing to?"

"Of course, I'm going to find Long Fei." Long Yu Heng coughed. "Dad, is something the matter?"

"These days, you have been spending more time with him." Long Lan's expression turned serious as he spoke to his son.

"Dad, Grandfather had let me stay by Long Fei's side to assist him. If I didn't spend my time with him, who else should I stay with?"

"Your Grandfather said you and Long Fei both have been running around after you returned from Capital City. What are you two up to?"

Long Yu Heng smiled. "What else can we do? Now that Long Fei decided to stay in D Town to recuperate from the last incident, there are a lot of matters that I have to help him with. Dad, the companies under the family is large. It won't be easy for us to manage it from here."

Long Yu Heng was someone who had been spending beside Long Fei for a long time. The moment their grandfather let him stay beside Long Fei as his right-hand man, Long Yu Heng had pledged his loyalty to Long Fei.

As his right-hand man, it was usual for him to deal with the elders who wanted to find out what was Long Fei up to.

But now… Even as he faced his father, Long Yu Heng's expression would not change much. It would be difficult for his father to find out anything from him.

Long Lan thought that his son's words made sense and decided not to think too much about it. He looked around as if to ensure that his surroundings were safe and turned to his son again.

"That girl that Long Fei has been looking for… did he find her yet?"

"Dad, you know that once Long Fei had found her, he would announce it to the elders. After all, this matter concerned the whole family."

Long Lan let out a long sigh. "If it was not because of what Long Fei had done, this matter would not be this difficult. And that Long Fei… he would not tell us anything about that girl. Or else, we could help him."

"Dad, that incident happened a long time ago. He was too young. He did not know her name or remember her face." Long Yu Heng flashed a weak smile. "This time, he could only depend on his instinct as well as her scent to find her. There are millions of people in this world. It won't be easy to look for her."

Long Lan let out another disappointed sigh. However, he knew well that his son was right. There was nothing that they could do other than to let Long Fei manage everything himself.

If only Long Fei did not meet that girl when they were young… perhaps they could introduce her to another girl and let them marry. It would be convenient to their family if Long Fei was married to a woman from a family that understood their history.

Unfortunately…

Long Yu Heng glanced at his father and decided that it was time for him to escape. "Dad, if there's nothing else, I should go to Long Fei's side first."

Long Lan snapped out of his thought and finally waved his hand, allowing Long Yu Heng to leave.

The moment he got farther away from his father, Long Yu Heng released a breath of relief.

It seemed that the elders were getting impatient. Unfortunately for them, Long Fei's fate has long been sealed when he met Su Ruan. Otherwise, Long Fei would have to face the elders and deal with their matchmaking.

"What took you so long?" Long Fei asked when his cousin entered his room.

Long Yu Heng scratched his neck and spoke, "I ran into my father. It seemed that the elders were urging him to find news about you through me. They were especially curious about that girl."

His brow rose. Long Fei put down the pen in his hand and leaned on his chair. "And? What did you tell him?"

"What else can I tell him? Of course, I have to lie."

"Very good. Now is not a suitable time to tell them any news about Miss Su," Long Fei said. "I'm afraid that if the elders found out her identity, they would make it difficult for her." The expression on his face turned serious. "I'm afraid that the reason Miss Su Ruan had not returned to this town to visit her maternal family had something to do with me."

Long Yu Heng frowned. "What do you mean?"

Long Fei frowned.

In the past few days, he has been observing Su Ruan from afar.

When he recalled Su Ruan's expression when he had mentioned the legend, Long Fei realized that the girl was not only rattled because she had accidentally seen his other form under the water. She was really afraid of him.

His instinct told him that it has something to do with their childhood. After that night when he had transformed right before her eyes, Su Ruan had stopped appearing in the orchard.

For a young girl to see something so scary… perhaps she was traumatized.

She was so afraid that she would still have nightmares about it.

This was the reason he had to hide Su Ruan from the rest of his family until she was ready for the truth.

If the elders found her and told her about the family matters, Su Ruan might not handle it well. She might be traumatized again.

He did not want to scare her.

Long Yu Heng watched his cousin and sighed. He knew well that if it was a matter that Long Fei did not want to say, Long Fei would not say it no matter how much he had coaxed him into it.

"Whatever you do, just remember to avoid the elders if you can."

Long Fei snapped out of his trance and looked at his cousin in puzzlement. "Why?"

"Your look… now that you have the chance to get close to Miss Su every day, the look on your face, as well as your temperament, had clearly changed. You're radiating."

Long Fei picked up his phone and turned on the camera to check on his reflection. However, he could not sense anything different.

"If you wanted to keep Miss Su a secret for a while, it would be wise for you to avoid them," Long Yu Heng said. "The elders are not fools.. If they see you now, they would know that you have found her and had spent your time being close to her."
