The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7284 - 7285

Humans are often slow to react.

At that moment, Xiao Churan realized she had truly fallen in love with charlie. However, their relationship had never developed properly due to its unusual beginning. Now, she wished to set things right—but it was too late.

She clearly understood that she needed to leave charlie, both for moral and practical reasons. Whether her departure was temporary or permanent, she had to first disappear from his world.

In doing so, she had already missed the best chance to steer their relationship in the right direction.

Tang Sihai noticed her pained expression and understood how difficult this was for Xiao Churan.

Leaving charlie didn’t just mean leaving her husband—it meant severing ties with her entire social circle.

Not only she, but her parents as well, would vanish from their current lives without leaving a trace.

She had also begun to suspect a deeper relationship between Gu Qiuyi and charlie, which only made things more complicated.

Thinking of this, Tang Sihai felt a twinge of sympathy for Xiao Churan. He sighed and said, “Mrs. Ye, you don’t need to worry too much about Miss Gu. Though she’s engaged to the young master, he remains deeply loyal to his marriage with you.”

Xiao Churan stayed silent, her thoughts drifting to the interaction between Tawanna and Gu Qiuyi at the Yanjing concert a few days prior.

She had long suspected the masked assassin was her husband, charlie—but now she was completely sure.

She once couldn’t understand why Tawanna would fall for charlie. But now, she realized that while Tawanna might be more famous than Gu Qiuyi in the entertainment world, she was far less wealthy. Even someone as exceptional as Gu Qiuyi had loved charlie for years—so was it really surprising that Tawanna would, too?

So think about it again—why are girls like Wang Dongxue, Song Wanting, and Fei Kexin, each more outstanding than the last, all so respectful toward charlie? Perhaps they’ve already fallen in love with him…

The thought broke Xiao Churan’s heart. A wave of sorrow surged through her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She remained quiet for a moment, trying to hold back her tears, then said to Tang Sihai, “Thank you, Steward Tang. I’ll come see you again before charlie’s birthday. We’ll talk about the specific arrangements then.”

Tang Sihai gave a gentle nod and replied respectfully, “I will be waiting for Mrs. Ye at Qixia Temple. If you have any instructions, I’ll carry them out to the best of my ability.”

Xiao Churan bowed slightly. “Thank you, Steward Tang. And thank you, Master Jingqing.”

Then she looked at the fresh flower in her arms—vivid and full of life—and said to Master Jingqing, “Master, I’ll return this flower to you.”

Jingqing shook his head, put his palms together, and said, “Amitabha. This flower was revived through Mrs. Ye’s destined encounter. It now belongs with you. Please take it and care for it well. It may live for several more days.”

Aura is the fundamental energy of all life. Jingqing had infused the withered bouquet with aura, which restored its vitality. However, his own cultivation was limited, and the small amount of aura he provided merely revived the bouquet rather than allowing it to continue growing. Had his cultivation been higher and the aura greater, the bouquet might have flourished into a rare bloom unseen in the world.

It was precisely because the aura was subtle and gentle that the effect was so seamless. Even when Xiao Churan gave the bouquet to charlie, he wouldn’t be able to tell that anything had been done to it.

Looking at the radiant flowers in her hands, Xiao Churan felt warmth bloom in her heart. She decided to take them home and care for them properly. With a little attention, the bouquet could remain vibrant for a few more days—or perhaps even longer.

She bowed again to Jingqing and said, “Thank you, Master!”

After that, she didn’t wish to stay any longer. She stepped back, nodded to the two of them, and softly said, “I’ll take my leave now.”

After saying that, he turned and walked away slowly.

Outside the door, Sun Mengmeng approached Xiao Churan with a look of surprise and asked, “Boss Xiao, why did it take you so long to get the amulet?”

Xiao Churan didn’t know that Sun Mengmeng was actually involved in all this, so she forced a smile and replied, “I had a lot of questions, so it took some time. Go on in, I’ll wait for you at the door.”

Sun Mengmeng nodded, then glanced curiously at the bouquet in Xiao Churan’s arms. “Boss Xiao, where did you get those flowers?”

Xiao Churan responded awkwardly, “These… were given by the Master. He said I have a special connection with them, so he asked me to take them home and care for them.”

Sun Mengmeng’s eyes widened in surprise. “That sounds kind of strange, but I’ll go in first. Please wait for me here!”

Xiao Churan nodded and watched her walk inside.

Once Sun Mengmeng entered, she saw Tang Sihai and Master Jingqing and quietly approached them. In a low voice, she asked, “Butler Tang, what should I do next?”

Tang Sihai replied, “For now, stay at Mrs. Ye’s company. She needs some time to prepare. You’ll likely leave after the Second Young Master’s birthday in February. I’ll make the arrangements for your departure then.”

Sun Mengmeng asked, “What about you, Butler Tang?”

Tang Sihai answered, “I’ll remain at Qixia Temple. Once Mrs. Ye finalizes the schedule, I’ll meet her here to confirm the details of my own departure.”

Sun Mengmeng said anxiously, “I’m worried Madam won’t be able to stop herself from telling the young master once she’s back. If he finds out, he’ll definitely come here to look for you—and he’ll surely suspect me. If he discovers us, we won’t be able to keep the secret we’re hiding.”

Tang Sihai sighed helplessly and said, “We have no other option right now. We can’t force Mrs. Ye to leave immediately, so we can only trust that she understands the situation and will honor the agreement for the young master’s sake.”

Sun Mengmeng also sighed. “I noticed Madam’s micro-expression as she left. She must be in deep pain. I wonder if the young master will sense something…”

Tang Sihai shook his head. “Since we’ve decided to trust Mrs. Ye, there’s no need to overthink. Madam is essentially placing a bet on her. If she wins, everything will continue to be handled in secret. If she loses, she’ll face the young master and reveal all the hidden truths.”

Sun Mengmeng nodded and said, “Understood, Butler Tang. I’ll continue doing my best during this time.”

Tang Sihai added, “If Mrs. Ye starts to suspect you, I believe, based on her character, she’ll speak to you directly. When that time comes, don’t hide anything—tell her everything except for the matter regarding Madam. If she still needs your help, stay. If not, contact Sister Sun, and she’ll arrange for your early departure.”

A word from the author:

I’ve heard some sharp readers speculating that the author of this book has changed. I just want to clarify one thing: if I were really using a ghostwriter, even if they didn’t manage 10,000 words a day, they’d at least write 8,000. The truth is, I’ve been writing for over five years now, and I’m mentally and physically exhausted. That’s why the recent updates have been inconsistent—not because of a ghostwriter, but because I genuinely don’t want to bring in someone subpar just to push out content.
