Chapter: 2862
Charlie Wade was at a loss for words. He stared at Su Ruoli and said, “What are you doing? You’re only in your early twenties! You have so many good years ahead of you! With your current skills, even if you don’t improve from now on, you can easily live to be a hundred. You’ve only lived one-fifth or even one-sixth of your life!”
Su Ruoli looked at him firmly and replied, “I don’t care. If I hadn’t met you, my life would have ended completely. There wouldn’t be a Su Ruoli here today. The time I have left is a gift from you, so I want to spend it with you!”
Charlie’s heart was touched, but he felt helpless. He had wanted to convince her to change her mind, but the determination in her eyes made him rethink. He decided to drop the subject. After all, there was still a long time ahead. There was no rush to make Su Ruoli feel differently right away. As time passed, her feelings might change.
Changing the topic, Charlie said, “By the way, Ruo Li, I’ve asked Lao Chen to quickly buy a riverside villa. It’s a second-hand house with eight rooms and a large basement. When your grandpa and the others arrive, they can stay there and practice quietly without distractions.”
Su Ruoli quickly replied, “Young Master Ye, you don’t need to spend so much money. The He family used to serve the Su family, and they all lived with us.”
The group was split by gender and lived in upper and lower bunks like in a school dormitory. “It’s too expensive to buy a villa…”
Charlie Wade smiled and said, “I bought the villa and let your grandpa use it. You shouldn’t feel any pressure. I bought it mainly as an investment for its future value.”
Su Ruoli replied, “But when grandpa and the others come, they will be waiting on you constantly. If you need them, they might not be able to get to you in time if they’re at the villa.”
Charlie chuckled, “Those are small concerns. I’m used to being on my own. I usually don’t have people around me all the time. Even Hong Wu and Chen Zekai are not with me 24/7. They have their own lives and responsibilities. Your grandpa will be the same.”
Su Ruoli quickly asked, “Young Master Ye, if you don’t have grandpa and the others following you, what will they do when they arrive?”
Charlie thought for a moment and said, “I’ve considered that. When the time comes, some of your family members can assist Hong Wu and Chen Zekai.”
He continued, “Although Hong Wu has many younger brothers, they’re not very experienced. They might be tough on the streets, but if they face a real master, they wouldn’t stand a chance.”
“So, your family can help Hong Wu with tasks that go beyond his usual work, and also train his younger brothers a bit.”
“As for Chen Zekai, his team is well-trained, but they could still use some extra support.”
“You need to help them become stronger than you martial artists,” Su Ruoli said quickly. “There won’t be any problems! Grandpa and the others will do just fine!”
After saying that, Su Ruoli glanced at Charlie Wade, feeling a bit shy. She hesitated and asked, “Young Master Ye, I’m not sure what you have planned for me…”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “You’re in a special situation right now, so just stay at Buckingham Palace for the time being. Aside from your mother and me, try not to talk to anyone else.”
