Chapter: 2769

At that moment, she felt a deep struggle in her heart. She didn’t understand what her daughter was thinking. Memories of the tension between her and Su Shoudao flooded back, along with the challenges of raising Su Ruoli alone. She feared that Su Ruoli might end up living the same difficult life she had.

If she had the choice, she would do everything to ensure her daughter’s future was different from her own. Just then, Charlie Wade spoke up, “Ruo Li, I saved you before, but I never wanted you to feel like you owe me your life. You don’t have to stay with me all the time. You can change your appearance and start fresh with a new identity.”

Su Ruoli quickly shook her head. “Young Master Ye, without you, I wouldn’t be safe. I know that without your protection, I could easily fall into danger, especially from the Japanese. I’m afraid no one else can keep me safe…”

Her voice trailed off sadly as she added, “So, I want to stay with you, Young Master Ye. I want to help you and also stay protected by you.”

At that moment, He Yingxiu realized how different she and her daughter truly were. In the past, she had devoted herself completely to Su Shoudao while working as his bodyguard. She had given him her youth and even lost an arm in service to him. After that, she had Su Ruoli, which felt like another way of dedicating her life to him.

The difference for the daughter is that Young Master Ye is her lifesaver. If she stays with him in the future, it won’t just be a blind loyalty. This means her life will be much happier than her mother’s.

So, the mother quickly said, “Master Ye, if Su Ruoli gets into trouble in Japan, the Japanese will not let her off easily. You can rescue her from them, and you must protect her well. Su Ruoli has trained hard since she was young. While I can’t say she has the best talent, she is certainly above average among her peers. Once you help her improve her skills, she will be a leader among her peers nationally. With her by your side, she can help you solve many problems. Please keep her close!”

Charlie Wade understood this well. He knew that as long as Su Ruoli was alive, the Japanese would never stop searching for her. If they discovered her true identity, she would be in grave danger. So, keeping her close was the safest option.

Moreover, Charlie felt he needed strong assistants. The people around him, like Hong Wu, Chen Zekai, and others from the Jinling family, including Song Wanting, were all ordinary and lacked special skills. Even though Qin Aoxue had good abilities, she was still just a student and couldn’t handle dangerous tasks.

Therefore, training Su Ruoli to become a trusted ally made a lot of sense. Not only did she have strength, but she could also lead many experts when she was with the Su family. Her recent experiences in Japan showed she had strong leadership skills. If she took charge and developed a capable team, it would benefit them both.

Charlie Wade thought about the future and how important it was to have a strong ally by his side. He turned to Su Ruoli and said, “If you want to stay with me, you will be my person from today onward. I promise to protect you and keep you safe. If you ever want to leave, please tell me honestly. I won’t make you stay against your will. But remember, before you leave, don’t do anything that would betray our trust. Do you understand?”

Su Ruoli replied quickly, “Don’t worry, Young Master Ye. As long as you accept me, I will stick by your side for life and will never leave!”
