“What?”
Xie Shi was slightly dazed, then that handsome face that looks similar to Xie Nan En showed a surprised expression, “Did Uncle not know Cheng Chuan was sent by father to stay beside you?”
“Once I inherited the Xie family, I noticed Cheng Chuan’s on the list of names my father left me. It was five years ago when he sent Cheng Chuan to Uncle.”
The young man watched how the other man was stunned speechless, surprised he asked “ Did father not inform you?”
“Perhaps…” Xie Shi smiled slightly, warmly spoke, “Father must’ve wanted to protect you from the shadows.”
“Seeing how Father and Uncle have a good relationship, that must be the case.”
The man that was leaning on the bed stiffly maintained his posture of holding the bowl of medicine, not moving the slightest for a long time.
“Uncle, Uncle?”
Xie Shi was calling him, the man reacted half a beat slower and slowly turned his head, “Ah?”
“Drink your medicine quickly, It’ll cool down soon.”
Xie Mu held the medicine in his hands yet there were no movements.
“Go call Cheng Chuan over, I have things I want to ask him.”
The young man who had no qualms about his methods to prevent Cheng Chuan from approaching Xie Mu was enlightened at his request, “Okay, I’ll get someone to call him over right now.”
Cheng Chuan was already asleep.
But hearing Xie Mu was looking for him, he left his bed extremely quickly, after he made sure he was dressed prim and proper he came into Xie Mu room.
“Sir, you were looking for me.”
An An was carried away by Xie Shi.
The small child was in deep sleep, completely unaware they was being held by someone they feared.
Xie Shi gently patted their small stomach, lips curling up, sitting outside, looking at the closed door.
If his father found out someone beside him was deliberately arranged, he would first suppress them, then confirm whether information has been leaked, if so then most likely the person would be sent to jail, spending the rest of their life inside.
If it was him, for traitors like these, if he didn’t punish them severely how would he manage his subordinates in the future.
Directly arrange a car, either killed or maimed. Let them savor the consequences of betrayal.
Oh, What if it’s Uncle?

“It’s already five years…..”
“Five years ago, you offended the young master of the Wang’s family, after I helped you you came to find me saying you were willing to follow for the rest of my life and take care of me.”
The bowl of medicine was silently placed aside, the contents of the medicine were no longer hot. Beside it, Xie Mu had a pale white face, his pair of empty eyes were staring at him.
“I asked you, why didn’t you find Da Ge, instead you found a second young master who didn’t know anything.”
“How did you reply to me?”
Cheng Chuan already guessed it, he lowered his eyes and slowly knelt down to the ground, his back was still straight, “Sir, you already know.”
The man that was sitting on the bed had a gaze in his eyes, lightly said, “Say it, how did you reply to me?”
Cheng Chuan closed his eyes, in an obscured voice he repeated the words that were said that year, “It was the second young master that saved me, if I were to follow someone, it would naturally be the second young master.”
“Then now, tell me what is the connection between you and my Da Ge.”
Cheng Chuan bit his lip, not saying anything.
Xie Mu was originally suppressing his anger, seeing him like this he couldn’t help but laugh slightly out of anger.
“I always thought you were the most thoughtful, the most trustworthy person beside me and that you would never leave me.”
The man that was kneeling on the for abruptly lifted his head, his eyes carried a sorrowful look as he look towards Xie Mu, “Sir…..”
The man who had always responded faintly turned his eyes away as if even a look at him would dirty his eyes.
… “If you aren’t willing to speak the truth, then you should leave the Xie family.”
“Da Ge was left, I can’t take you in if I’m here.”
Cheng Chuan hardened face finally changed to a look of feer, he crawled forwards on his knees, kneeling next to the bed, “Sir, don’t drive me away, sir…”
“Sir….”
He looked at Xie Mu in despair, and finally said,”Mr. Xie sent me here from the start to take care of you.”
The man on the bed looked at Cheng Chuan.
He said, “When you just graduated, you were only focused on travelling to well known mountains and rivers, Mr.Xie thought you were too naive and would be tricked by others. For your safety, he arranged people to be around you but you were too cautious and didn’t let others follow you.”
“He thought you didn’t like having his men around you so he sent me instead.”
“I was indeed only a retired soldier but after retiring for a year I’ve always followed Mr.Xie for work but only did the dirty work which is why you had never seen me before.”
Cheng Chuan saw how Xie Mu was slowly brightening up, in a hoarse voice, “In the beginning when I offended the young master of Wang’s family, was actually done on purpose so that you would lower your guard.”
“Did Da Ge send you to take care of me?”
The anger in Xie Mu was washed away, not only that, his heart was a little hopeful.
Back then, he was extremely nervous because he realised he liked someone that he wasn’t allowed to like.
He was too scared.
Scared that if he said this all out, everything would disappear as if it was the flower in the mirror or the moon in the water.
He felt uneasy even when he was sleeping, he was scared that his true thoughts would be spoken out loud when he was asleep.
He was always against the people that were sent by his DaGe, he was sacred that would find out from the clues and report back to DaGe because of this reason when Cheng Chuan was the first subordinate that was completely loyal to him, after Xie Mu observed him for a period of time he decided to take him as a subordinate.
Oh, even Cheng Chuan was sent by DaGe to take care of him.
Cheng Chuan looked at the man whose expression seemed to be a little bright, the bitterness in his eyes only grew.
He could hide things that no one knew, but if there were clues that were left behind and could be tracked down then he absolutely cannot hide them.
“From the very start, Mr.Xie only gave me the order to protect you. Afterwards, he began requesting to report your every move, everything must be reported back to him.”
“Even to the end, your every move, every word was reported back to Mr.Xie.”
Xie Mu froze.
“Sir, even if I was sent by Mr.Xie, I stayed by your side for five years, I never did…”
Cheng Chuan paused for a second but quickly continued after seeing the man didn’t notice, “I never did anything that would hurt you, after Mr.Xie passed away, I had never thought of leaving you.”
“Please… don’t drive me away.”
In a place where Xie Mu couldn’t see, the man hdi his hands behind and clenched them tightly as if to squeeze the blood out of them.
“Leave the room first.”
Xie Mu was in deep thought but at the same time his heart had a string of hope.
Why would DaGe do such a thing?
He clearly knew he possessed no threat.
Is it because…
He also liked him back…
Even if he knew that the possibility of this was incredibly small but the thought of it made the man sitting on the bed, heart thump in anticipation.
He unconsciously touched the beads that were wrapped around his wrist, as if he was touching a treasure on his arm, only the smile in his eyes betrayed him.
Cheng Chuan opened the door and stepped outside, quietly closing the door behind him.
The young man’s magnetic voice was heard, “You evaded the crisis quite quickly?”
The light in Cheng Chuan’s eye dimmer, he turned around to perfunctory nod, “Young master, I’ll head down first.”
He was about to leave but Xie Shi who was holding the child suddenly asked,
“When Uncle just got injured, you had always taken care of him.”
“From what I’ve heard, Uncle’s leg could’ve been treated back then.”
The man’s footsteps abruptly paused but quickly continued to walk forwards.
Xie Shi mockingly looked at his back as he left, while holding the… child he pushed the doors open and walked in.
The man heard a noise and lifted his head, there was a trace of love in his eyes from reminiscing memories of the past.
It was soft as if it was full of autumn water, the surface rippling slightly.
[Ding! Xie Shi favourbility: 84]
oh gosh this felt like a really long chapter to translate but I don’t think it was any longer to the other chapters;;;; ahh but seeing Xie Shi scheming behind Xie Mu is like 
Thanks for the chapter! ^^)❤
Ah yes. This is PERFECT. This is how I will get him by having him reminisce and fall deeper in love with my OWN DEAD FATHER. This is excatly how I will make my uncle will love me. Nothing could ever go wrong with this plan. – Xie Shi
pffffftt——– what is this……?
I’m literally dying
you’re crazy HAHHHSHAHAHAH
😂😂😂
Thanks for the chapter~
Thank you for the chapter!💕
Cheng Chuan could’ve saved the original from having his legs destroyed for a lifetime, given the factors, there’s a huge chance he had the capability to prevent or save the original. How sad, unprofessonal, and lowly. That’s not how you stay with the one you like, harming them for a lifetime just so you can ensure that you’ll stay with them forever. My impression on him went from 80 to -8 since the start of this arc. Tsk.
Thanks for the chapter! Next time let’s see what Xie shi will do.
Thanks for the chapter 😘
I love this novel because it have a different stile from other QT novels where the store were made form “omnicie outsider” prespective where we get inteeupted by the MC’s thoughts. They feel like a movie in the making where we’llbknow what the MC’s actual thoughts are. But this novel are different. It have the complete portagonist point of view which will not interrupt the reading experience.
Reireii, sry, I wanted to post it on discord, but I can’t find you….So I have to spam you here xD“Da Ge was left, I can’t take you in if I’m here.” <– I don’t really get the meaning of that sentence…Cheng Chuan hardened face finally changed to a look of feer, he crawled forwards on his knees, kneeling next to the bed, <– feer = fearThe light in Cheng Chuan’s eye dimmer, he turned around to perfunctory nod, <– dimmer = dimmed
Now that I think Cheung Chuan has prevented Xie Mu from recovering his legs 🙁
