Chu Mengyao and Chu Biyao, because of Shen Yahut, viewed Shen Yaqing as a sister. They wanted to take more care of her, naturally not wishing to part with Shen Yaqing. Spending time together day and night would be perfect.
Besides, to Mengyao, Shen Yahut was like a sister, and so was Shen Yaqing.
When Shen Yaqing wanted to move out and live with Qiu Wen, the two sisters firmly opposed it.
"Mengyao, you tomboy, I know you care for me and look after me, but I'm not a child anymore. I don't need special care from you. I have my own thoughts, so please respect my choice," Shen Yaqing said gratefully. Although she hadn't known Mengyao and the others for long, she felt warmth in her heart that she'd never experienced before—a feeling like family, which moved her deeply.
"Big-breasted hacker, isn't it nice when we bicker now and then? Why move out to live somewhere else?" Chu Biyao complained.
"Exactly, we're like family. No need to stand on ceremony," Mengyao insisted firmly.
"Precisely because I consider you family that I want to do this. I should have my own space. And besides, I want to focus all my energy on hacking research, and I need my own space for that," Shen Yaqing explained righteously. "Living over at Senior Sister Qiu Wen's place, I can still come over like visiting family, can't I?"
"What do you think?" Mengyao looked at Ye Fan. Since Shen Yaqing said that, she was naturally ready to respect Shen Yaqing's choice.
But before that, she still wanted to hear Ye Fan's opinion.
"Let her make her own choice; she can live wherever she wants. The villa is so big. If she wants to come back, there's still a room for her, isn't there?" Ye Fan said blandly. "She wants her own private space, and that's human nature, right? Besides, with me, her mentor, and you all treating her like a child, she feels pressured, doesn't she?"
"Master understands me," Shen Yaqing respectfully looked towards Ye Fan.
"Alright, since you want to do it this way, we'll just have to respect your opinion," Mengyao compromised, realizing that Ye Fan's words made sense. Treating Shen Yaqing too much like a child wasn't a good thing. If it came down to skills, tying up several Mengyaos together wouldn't be a match for Shen Yaqing, and her meticulous care was indeed unnecessary.
"Actually, I've already talked it over with Qiu Wen. The room's ready for me. I'll head there now and meet the senior sister, and tell her about master's prowess," Shen Yaqing said nonchalantly. Then, she solemnly asked, "Master, is it okay if I tell Qiu Wen about your identity?"
"It's fine. I also plan to significantly enhance her capabilities. Letting her know more isn't a bad thing," Ye Fan considered. With the impending retaliation from the God Organization, he naturally wanted to cultivate a powerful core group. This way, facing the upcoming situation, he would have more assurance and chances of success.
"Then it's settled. I'm heading out now. Master, you all should rest early," Shen Yaqing said, acting as quickly as speaking.
"Big-breasted hacker, there's no need to rush. It's the middle of the night, why hurry?" Chu Biyao wondered.
"What do you know? I moved my few belongings to Qiu Wen's place during the day. I planned to tell you all about this. In fact, I've had this idea for a while, but it was delayed because of something that came up," Shen Yaqing said, then turned and left. Naturally, Mengyao and the others wanted to see her off.
After sending off Shen Yaqing, only Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Biyao were left in the villa.
"In the future, our situation might be very dangerous. If someone comes to get revenge on me, you will face unimaginable danger," Ye Fan thought for a moment and revealed his concerns directly.
"What do you mean 'you and us'? There's no 'you,' only 'us,'" Mengyao affirmed. "As long as you're by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. Besides, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me. I might even be dead by now."
"Exactly, brother-in-law, you shouldn't always put yourself in others' shoes. You should consider us together. We're not afraid of danger, especially sis. I think she's deeply in love. Without you, she'd be more than heartbroken; she'd be devastated," Chu Biyao said seriously.
If Mengyao had heard her sister's blunt words before, she would have scolded her to cover up her embarrassment, but not now.
As a pure assassin, if there's love or attachment in the heart, it is indeed a fatal weakness.
Moreover, Ye Fan had many attachments now. Compared to the past, he preferred the person he had become.
Rather than walking cold-blooded in the underworld, it's better to live with flesh and blood.
Anyone harboring hostility wouldn't be let go by him.
The Human Body Limit warrior is strong, but not necessarily invincible in his hands. He has absolute confidence in victory, so with this assurance, he won't indulge in other concerns.
In the past, he would choose to bear the danger alone, trying to exclude those he worried about from the danger. That included when he took down the God Organization's higher-ups without implicating Fire Phoenix or the Butcher.
But now, he won't do that anymore. Instead, he'll boldly choose to fight back, tooth for tooth.
Staying by the side of those he guards, if anyone harbors ill intent, he'd strike them down ruthlessly.
"I don't know what happened between you and Fire Phoenix back then, but I can guess you must have pushed Fire Phoenix away, not wanting to implicate her. But I don't want that to happen to me. Even if it means death, I won't leave you." Mengyao gazed at Ye Fan with deep affection.
"It won't happen again, never again," Ye Fan smiled awkwardly, yet internally considered, "Anyone who dares harm those around me will have to contend with my wrath."
"That's better," Mengyao smiled happily.
"But speaking of which, brother-in-law, you're in trouble now: one side is sis, the other is Fire Phoenix. Personal feelings aside, both are great beauties, both devoted to you with all their heart. How will you choose?" Chu Biyao grinned. "A love triangle isn't easy to manage. If you betray either, it would be unjustified. Are you planning to conquer my dear sister first or is it Fire Phoenix? Or going for both?"
Ye Fan's face turned dark immediately, feeling vexed. "Can we not get into this?"
"Come on, sister, let's go to bed. Let him deal with his romantic troubles. We can't help and we wouldn't want to," Mengyao got up and headed upstairs, smiling all the while.
"Sis, well said," Chu Biyao put her hands on her waist, grinning wickedly as she left.
Ye Fan's face was dumbfounded, speechless, finding himself caught between laughter and tears.
