Chapter 757: 743, Going to the small garden (2) _1 Chapter 757: 743, Going to the small garden (2) _1 âYoung Master Er!â
The guards at the door bowed and cried out in unison when they saw Shen Yan coming.
Shen Yan nodded, âStep aside.â
âErâŠYoung Master Er, without Masterâs instructions, we canât let you in,â the guards said, looking uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Shen Yan smiled mockingly.
Since when did he need his elder brotherâs permission to enter here?
âBold, you better move aside for Young Master Er immediately,â Aâer said sternly.
âYoung Master Er, itâs not that we purposely block you, itâs just, Master instructed that nobody is allowed to enter without his order,â a guard explained.
Aâer frowned, about to speak, but Shen Yan beat him to it, âGo tell my brother, I want to see him now.â
âYes.â After giving Shen Yan a look, the guard turned and went inside.
âYoung Master Er, it seems Master has begun to suspect something,â Aâer said in a low voice, as he watched the guard enter.
In the past, Young Master Er could come and go freely, but now he needed Masterâs permission to enter. It was clear that the Master had noticed Young Master Erâs recent actions.
Shen Yan replied calmly, âNo matter.â
After a short time, the guard appeared again.
He bowed and said, âYoung Master Er, you should go back. Master is busy with a video meeting and cannot see you now.â
Having perhaps already expected such a response, Shen Yan remained unruffled. He said, not angrily nor annoyed, âAâer, letâs go.â
Aâer gave a glance at the small building, where the lighted study was, and pushed the wheelchair to leave.
On the quiet path, the faint fragrance of flowers lingered in the air.
In the wheelchair, Shen Yan closed his eyes as if sleeping, the corners of his lips curving in an almost imperceptible smile.
âAâer, go to the garden.â
His gentle voice carried an undercurrent of calmness, as though a storm was imminent.
Aâer stopped in his tracks, a look of confusion appeared on his expressionless face, âYoung Master Er, this is⊠not a good idea, is it?â
Going to the garden without Masterâs permission would certainly provoke Masterâs wrath.
âWhatâs wrong with it? If you donât want to go with me, you can go back first. I can go alone,â Shen Yan said.
âYoung Master Er, this will anger Master,â Aâer advised helplessly.
Shen Yan smiled indifferently, âUnless I provoke him, how would he be willing to see me?â
Big brother, this is you forcing me to this point. This was my last resort.
Aâer scratched his nose and ended up pushing him toward the garden.
However, this time they were stopped by the patrolling personnel before they reached the entrance to the garden.
âYoung Master Er, why are you here?â
âWhat, I need to notify you when I come here?â Shen Yan said, his face turning cold. He glanced at the patrolling personnel and sneered inwardly.
Even on their own territory, his elder brotherâs vigilance was so high.
Who was he really guarding against? Him or someone inside?
âYoung Master Er, we are just following Masterâs orders, please donât make things difficult for us,â the leading man of the patrolling team said.
With a relaxed demeanour, Shen Yan said, âGo tell my brother, if he doesnât come, Iâll just break in.â
âThis, uh⊠wellâŠâ the patrollers were in a dilemma.
âGo on, quick, go inform the Master,â the leader of the patrol ordered.
Watching the receding back of the patroller, Shen Yanâs eyes darkened.
On the other side, in the study, Shen Hua was busy with a video conference.
Several languages echoed persistently in the study room. Shen Hua sat at his desk, his expression grim, occasionally making decisions directed toward people on the other side of the video.
âKnock knock knock!â
Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
Shen Hua frowned, âWho is it?â
âMaster, itâs me, Asan.â
The manâs voice came through the door.
Shen Hua, âCome in.â
The heavy door swung open, and Asan rushed in.
Without a pause, he said, âMaster, thereâs a problem. Young Master Er has gone to the garden.â
Before Asan had finished his sentence, Shen Hua closed his laptop and stood abruptly. âUseless! Did you stop him?â
âThe patrol stopped Young Master Er on the outskirts, but he insists on seeing you, otherwise he said heâll force his way in,â Asan reported.
Hearing this, Shen Huaâs gloomy eyes chilled further. He tightened his grip, âDamn, Ayan, your wings sure are hardening.â
Approaching in secret, Asan said carefully, âMaster, why donât you just go and see Young Master Er, his health just improved, it would be bad if the illness recurs.â
âLetâs go.â
Shen Hua walked past the desk, exuding a cold air, and left.
The atmosphere outside the garden was strained.
The night was deep and the chill grew stronger.
âShen Yan!â
The manâs voice, heavy with suppressed anger, carried an undertone of displeasure.
Shen Yan heard the familiar voice, looked up, and saw Shen Huaâs tall figure looming against the light from the streetlamp.
His aura was intimidating, and the onlookers swiftly moved aside in fear as they saw him, heads lowered.
âMaster!â
Voices called out in unison, echoing in the night.
Shen Hua stopped. From his elevated position, he looked down at Shen Yan, his gaze intense. âAll of you, step back.â
âYes.â
The members of the patrol team quickly dispersed to their posts.
âAâer, Asan, stand aside,â Shen Hua commanded.
Aâer looked to Shen Yan, who nodded. Aâer turned to follow Asan away and wait at the nearby pavilion.
When everyone had gone, Shen Yan looked up at his brotherâs tense face and smiled faintly, âBrother, I thought for once youâd allow me to enter, but it turns out youâve come yourself.â
However, his gentle smile only increased Shen Huaâs displeasure.
âAyan, stop challenging my limits.â
Shen Yan matched his gaze without backing down, the smile fading from his lips, âBrother, then you should stop challenging my limits. We should stop challenging each otherâs limits, I think that would be the best outcome.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â Shen Huaâs eyes darkened, asking, although he already knew the answer.
Shen Yan didnât get impatient with his play-acting, âBrother, Iâve told you, Iâve found a suitable heart that can let me live on, and youâve promised me that you wonât lay a finger on Jian Qing until she gives birth. Now are you planning on breaking your promise?â
âWho told you that?â Shen Hua asked, looking grimly at him.
âBrother, donât forget Iâm your sibling, not a fool. Do not touch her, or else I wouldnât hold back, familial affection be damned.â Shen Yan got up, looking straight at him, speaking with a forceful manner.
âShen Yan!â Shen Hua grabbed his collar and raised a fist to punch him in the face.
Shen Yan looked at him calmly, showcasing no signs of fear.
The punch, carrying wind, approached Shen Yanâs face. Just a centimeter away, it stopped. Shen Hua looked with bloodshot eyes at the face before him, which held some resemblance to his own, but he didnât bring down his fist.
