C15 Getting Close to Her Loving Her!

"Miss Su, I, Ji Ye, am here. I sincerely thank you..."

The butler was visibly moved.

Su Ningning, alarmed, quickly stepped forward to steady the butler, fearing he might actually kneel.

"Elder Ji, you're overwhelming me," Su Ningning said, holding on to him, not daring to let go.

In the Chu family, Ji Ye commanded respect from all the descendants. Su Ningning couldn't bear the thought of him kneeling before her.

"No, no, no, Miss Su, you deserve this gesture," Ji Ye insisted, his eyes brimming with tears. He was acutely aware of the hardships Old Master Chu had faced over the years.

Su Ningning held firm. "Elder Ji, if you continue like this, I'll have to leave."

Reluctantly, Ji Ye remained standing, his gaze conveying deep appreciation. "Then, should you ever need my assistance in the future, Miss Su, I will not hesitate to oblige."

Su Ningning offered a smile, saying nothing. Noticing the time, she carefully removed the silver needles from Old Master Chu's body and packed them away.

"Old Master Chu, your condition has been years in the making and is quite complex, so there's no need to rush. We're looking at a long-term strategy," Su Ningning advised gently. "Expect a recovery within half a year."

"Half, half a year!" Old Master Chu's eyes bulged with astonishment.

The others in the room gasped in disbelief. They had thought it would be a success if the old man could regain even a fraction of his health!

But now...

Could he truly return to his former self?

In just half a year?

"What? Is that too long?" Su Ningning asked, puzzled. "Though it may seem slow, it's actually the most effective approach with virtually no side effects."

After a brief pause, Su Ningning added, "Old Master Chu, your age doesn't suit such a rapid pace!"

Old Master Chu nearly choked on his laughter!

Was she implying it was too slow? He was completely taken aback...

No, wait!

Did Su Ningning have an even faster method in mind, but she was concerned it might be too much for him to handle?

Old Master Chu's heartbeat quickened, but he was in no rush now. Decades had passed. "Baby Ning, I must thank you," he said, his voice brimming with joy. "I'm just so happy."

Chu Yichen's gaze was fixed on her. The girl remained poised, her actions both cool and decisive. He couldn't help but speculate anew about her identity. His little girl seemed to be shrouded in mystery, irresistibly so.

His eyes, with a hint of a phoenix's curve, softened as they rested on Su Ningning. "Miss Ning, my home has a martial arts room. Care for a friendly match?" Chu Yichen's lips curled into a teasing smile as his well-defined fingers subtly grazed her cheek. The sensation was electric, sending a thrilling current through him, igniting an excitement he could hardly contain.

Get closer to her!

Get closer to her!

His blood surged, and a sharp cry echoed within him. Chu Yichen edged nearer, her scent filling his senses. Su Ningning's fingers hesitated, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. Did this man ever tire of causing her trouble?

She stole a glance at him, and her coy gesture made Chu Yichen's heart flutter. He adored her endearing mannerisms.

Old Master Chu, observing the scene, couldn't contain his delight. Was Chu Yichen finally learning how to charm a young lady?

"Baby Ning, since it's not often you visit the Chu family, why not let Yichen show you around?" he suggested cheerfully.

Su Ningning pondered for a moment, her eyes downcast. "Alright. Grandpa, I'll stop by the day after tomorrow, and we'll reassess the situation in a week."

"Very good," Old Master Chu replied, his heart swelling with happiness.

He watched the pair with a deepening smile playing at his lips.
