Chapter: 2861

Charlie Wade had strong feelings against the Su family, particularly those connected to the Anti-Ye League. Now, the leader of that league, Su Shoudao, was in Syria, and his second-in-command, Su Shoude, was at the Hongwu kennel. That left only Su Chengfeng as the main enemy from the Su family.

Charlie had made a deal with Su Zhiyu, who was now the head of the Su family. She could trade Su Chengfeng to get her father back to China. If she succeeded, she could also bring Su Shoudao back, but he would need to step away from the family’s real power and retire. This would allow both the Ye family and Su Zhiyu to move past their old grudges with the Su family and avoid future conflicts.

Charlie genuinely hoped that Su Zhiyu would thrive in her new role. He also knew that Su Ruoli was Su Zhiyu’s half-sister. When they last met, Charlie observed their bond closely and felt that Su Zhiyu truly cared for Su Ruoli. Similarly, Su Ruocheng had a sister he cared about.

What surprised Charlie was Su Ruoli’s reaction when she heard his thoughts. Her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at him, her voice trembling as she said, “Young Master Ye… You saved my life… I could only improve my skills with your help… You are my greatest benefactor.”

Ruoli wanted to stay with Charlie Wade before and after serving him wholeheartedly. She didn’t want to go back to the Su family.

Charlie said, “I’m not asking you to return to the Su family yet. You’ll go back once your sister becomes the head of the family.”

Ruoli felt angry and replied, “Then I won’t go back! Even though my sister and I share some blood, I don’t owe her anything. I don’t want to be with her in the future.”

As she spoke, she grabbed Charlie’s hand and cried, “Please, Young Master Ye, don’t send me away.”

Charlie sighed and explained, “I know you’re feeling sensitive about your identity, so I’ll keep you by my side for now. But this situation will pass. The hatred towards the Japanese will fade with time, and you’ll be able to live your own life again. Why do you want to spend it with me?”

Ruoli shook her head firmly. “I don’t want my own life. I just want to be with you, Young Master Ye.”

Wiping her tears, she added with determination, “If you don’t want me to follow you, I’ll cut my hair and become a nun! I’ll spend my life praying and reciting. I’m not joking; I would swear on my life that if I break that promise, let the heavens punish me!”
