n laughed and said, “Elder Ge, he is my apprentice. In that sense, you are his teacher-in-law. Even if he wanted to accept you as a disciple, he wouldn't dare. Otherwise, it would be a mess of seniori...In her daily life, Su Ru Yue had many hidden thoughts and even some unknown secrets, but she never dared to show them.

Almost everything could make her feel apprehensive, but the more so it was, the more oppressive it became.

Today is different. After taking the first step, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my chest. There's a newfound sense of freedom and ease.

At that moment, a melodious tune filled the air. It was her phone ringing from her pocket.

Although she could guess who was calling, her face changed slightly when she saw the caller ID.

Ye Bufan didn't need to look to know who was calling. It had to be Mrs. Su.

Su Ru Yue held her phone, her palm trembling slightly, but she dared not press the answer button.

"Since the first step has already been taken, there's nothing left to worry about. Do whatever you want today and don't concern yourself with anything else."

As Ye Bufan spoke, he slowed the car down a bit.

Su Ruyu took a deep breath, glanced at Ye Bufan, then at the phone buzzing incessantly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally summoned her courage and pressed the answer button.

"Mom, are you looking for me"

"Where did you go"

Mrs. Su's voice was cold, clearly suppressing the anger in her heart.

"It's nothing, just going out to have some fun."

"Su Ru Yue, do you know what you are doing" Mrs. Su seemed to be unable to suppress the anger in her heart any longer and shouted loudly.

You are the president of Su Corporation, the heir apparent, and you just ran off holding hands with a man Where is your dignity Your upbringing Your refinement

Are you still a lady Do you still care about your image Don't you want to be the laughingstock of high society I'm so disappointed in you!

I'm telling you, Su Ru Yue, come back to me right now!

"At the same time, tell Mr. Ye that the previous 10 million treatment fees have been transferred to his account, and we no longer require his treatment."

She was clearly at her wit's end, addressing her daughter by name in anger.

Like a luxury car like the Rolls-Royce Phantom, once its speed drops below 200 mph, the noise inside becomes very minimal. Ye Bufan could hear the two people's conversation clearly.

At this moment, Su Ru Yue had tears in her eyes. From a young age, she had always been well-behaved and excellent, never having been scolded by her mother like this before.

Ye Bufan once again reduced the car's speed, and at the same time reached out and pressed a button to lower the car window. A gentle breeze blew into the car.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Su Ru Yue, and Su Ru Yue also looked at him.

"Why aren't you speaking Are you pretending not to hear me"

"Don't forget who you are, don't forget your surname. With such a shameful act, will our Su family still have any face Will we ever be seen again"

In today's society, it's nothing special for young men and women to hold hands.

But in Mrs. Smith's eyes, this was a huge scandal, something that her strict personality simply couldn't accept.

She also came from a prominent family before, with traditional thoughts and a strong desire for control. She couldn't accept this at all.

Ye Bufan remained silent. Some things she needed to decide for herself. Only when she made the decision herself would it truly be letting go.

"Mom, I'm 24 years old this year. I've been an adult for a long time. I'm a real person, not a puppet. I don't need you to plan everything for me..."

What did you say

On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Su was shocked. After so many years, her usually well-behaved daughter had never spoken to her like this before.

Before she could continue, a sharp, piercing noise came from her phone, followed by complete silence.

Su Ru Yue, after uttering the last word, threw her phone out of the car window without hesitation.

The current speed is about seventy to eighty miles per hour. After the phone fell out, it tumbled more than ten meters and crashed with a bang, breaking into pieces.

Ye Bufan casually pressed a button, raising the car window again. He had just lowered it to allow Su Ru Yue to throw away her phone.

Otherwise, keeping this number around will always be a burden.

And he himself put his phone directly into the storage ring, there's no signal there no matter how hard you try to get one.

"Well done."

He gave Su Ruyu a thumbs-up.

Once you take the first step, things get easier.

Su Ruyu's face, which had been tense just moments ago, broke into a smile of delight: "There's something really satisfying about getting things done."

"I reckon your mother will turn the whole imperial city upside down looking for you," Ye Bufan said.

She won't, she's afraid of losing face. She values her reputation above all else.

When it comes to humiliation, Su Ru Yue's face once again flashed a complex expression. "She won't call the police, nor will she let others know. She'll only use our Su family's own power to find us."

A long time ago, she didn't quite understand her mother's restrictions on her. Why could others do things that she wasn't allowed to

While others just want to live happily, I must appear honorable and perfect in front of everyone. There is no room for flaws.

The more outstanding she performed, the higher Mrs. Su's expectations became, an endless, unattainable demand.

Su Ruyu shook her head, as if trying to shake off the unease in her heart. She took Ye Bufan's arm and said, "Well, where are you taking me next"

Since you let the devil out of my heart, you better make me happy.

"Well, aren't you afraid I'll kidnap you"

Ye Bufan was joking, but given Su Ru Yue's fame in the Imperial Capital and the wealth her family possessed, there were definitely people who wanted to lay their hands on her, and there were quite a few of them.

I know, you won't.

Su Ru Yue blinked her big, watery eyes: "It's just a feeling, women's intuition is very accurate."

"Alright, you got me." Ye Bufan looked at his watch. After all this trouble, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Hungry How about we go to the Imperial Capital Food Street"

"Yeah, I've heard the food there is great, but I've never been."

Ye Bufan was slightly surprised: "Didn't you grow up in the Imperial Capital since childhood Have you never been to a food street"

"I've never been," Su Ruyue said. "From childhood to adulthood, I either ate at home or in a star-rated hotel. It was absolutely not allowed to eat from street stalls or snack bars. Mom said the stuff there wasn't hygienic and wasn't worthy of my status."

"You really missed out! I'm telling you, while the big hotel food looks nice, it doesn't even compare to those delicious local snacks."

Ye Bufan wasn't very familiar with the Imperial Capital either. Opening navigation, the two of them rushed together to the snack street in the Imperial Capital.

Chinese cuisine is undoubtedly the world's best, with every historic city boasting its own unique local delicacies.

The street food in Beijing is world-renowned, and the most famous dish among them is roast duck.

An hour later, the two sat in the most famous Peking duck restaurant, with a half roast duck glistening golden brown before them.

"It smells so good."

Su Ruyu at this moment had completely shed the disguise of a CEO, just like a greedy little girl. She sniffed hard, as if trying to suck all the aroma of the roast duck into her belly.

She took the Peking duck rolled in a lotus leaf by Ye Bufan and gently took a bite: "Delicious, really delicious."

After finishing her share, she licked her luscious red lips and said, "Don't you think half a portion is a bit too little"y.Her cultivation was suppressed to the level of a Da Yi Xian, unable to withstand a full-powered strike from a Da Luo Xian.To put it mildly, Bai Fa Xie Jun's whip just now shattered the meridians in...
