Chapter: 2863
Su Ruoli didn’t have strong feelings about Charlie Wade’s plans. Her biggest worry was that he would send her to Chen Zekai, Hong Wu, or even her sister. Since Charlie was willing to keep her at Buckingham Palace, she was okay with that. As long as she didn’t have to go somewhere far away and could see him often, she felt satisfied.
Charlie turned to Su Ruoli and said, “I know I haven’t let you contact the outside world or access any information. Part of it is because I’m cautious about you, but it’s also because your situation is very special. If you share any information, it could lead to trouble.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “But now, it seems you’ve grown stronger since the accident and even met your mother. I believe your mindset is much more stable now.”
Su Ruoli quickly replied, “Young Master Ye, I really am different now. I’ve changed a lot in many ways, and all of them are for the better.”
Charlie nodded, pleased. “I believe you. I can see the changes myself.”
Then, he pulled out a new mobile phone and handed it to her. “I asked Lao Chen to buy this phone for you. It was originally for your sister, but since I kept her old phone, I thought I’d give this one to you instead.”
Su Ruoli hadn’t used a phone or the Internet for a long time, so when she saw the new phone, she felt a rush of excitement. Young people like her loved connecting with the world around them.
Many people today are used to having smartphones and the internet. For most, going without their phone for even a few hours can cause anxiety. Su Ruoli is no different.
She feels like she is trapped in Buckingham Palace without any way to get information. Deep down, she really wants a mobile phone. However, she feels too embarrassed to ask Charlie Wade for one, so she has been trying to hold back her desire.
When Charlie surprised her by giving her a new phone, she was overjoyed. Charlie watched her excitement as she picked it up and said with a smile, “It’s already activated, and there’s a SIM card inside. You can use it to call me or your mom, but try not to contact anyone else. The phone bill is unlimited, so don’t worry about that.”
He continued, “With this phone, you can stay updated on what’s happening outside. If you get bored, you can also check the news or watch shows to pass the time.”
Su Ruoli’s eyes brightened as she replied, “Thank you so much, Master Ye! I’ve been dreaming about using a phone again. It’s been hard without one!”
Charlie nodded, explaining, “I was a bit hesitant to give you a way to communicate with the outside world at first. You have to understand my concerns.”
Su Ruoli quickly agreed, “I completely understand, Young Master Ye! You don’t have to worry.”
“That’s good,” Charlie smiled and said, “I have more good news to share with you.”
Eagerly, Su Ruoli asked, “What is it?”
Charlie Wade explained, “Your mother mentioned that there are eleven people from your He family, including her. She’s the only woman among them, so I think it might be better not to have her stay at the riverside villa. Instead, I suggest she stay at Buckingham Palace.”
He paused and added, “To be more specific, I can arrange for her to stay in the same room as you.”
“Really!?” Su Ruoli exclaimed, filled with excitement. She had thought it would be difficult for her mother to meet her grandpa. Every time her mother visited, there was a chance of being discovered. Su Ruoli wasn’t worried for herself, but she was concerned that if her identity was revealed, it could cause trouble for Charlie.
Now, with Charlie’s plan for her mother to stay in her room, Su Ruoli felt like she had received wonderful news.
Charlie smiled and reassured her, “I promise I’m not lying. They should arrive in the evening. I’ll take care of everything, so you can relax and wait.”
