"No."

"Marriage is meaningless, it only has interests. Once you are in the arena, you have no choice. There is nothing I can do. This is the rule of the game for the upper class. I can't resist."

Chu Lingjun closed his eyes in pain, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"..."

"...I remember that I once advised you to fight against fate, but now it seems to be of no use. Sorry, I said too much."

Ye Xingke said with a melancholy expression, his tone extremely uncomfortable.

"It's okay. I know you're thinking about me. Thank you very much."

Chu Lingjun said quietly.

"Haha, now you speak in a cold tone."

Ye Xing gave a bitter smile in his heart.

"In that case, give me the map and I will go rescue Uncle Liu tonight."

Suddenly, Ye Xingke reached out to Chu Lingjun and asked for the map.

"What? I haven't decided yet whether or not to save Uncle Liu?"

Chu Lingjun frowned.

"Is there any need to think about this? We must go and save him!!!"

"Since Ye Chen has given you the map and made it very clear that I can rescue Uncle Liu with my skills, why are you still hesitating???"

"Rescue Uncle Liu and consider it my wedding gift to you two!!! I wish you a happy wedding and a baby soon!"

Ye Xingke said in a muffled voice, and it was obvious that he was in a bad temper again.

"What do you mean by have a baby soon??? Is there something wrong with your brain???"

"It's not that easy to rescue Uncle Liu??? Do you know that once Uncle Liu is rescued, we will be the first to be suspected? By then, there will be countless troubles waiting for me and my grandfather!!! Don't do anything willful in the heat of the moment!!"

"Moreover, even if Uncle Liu is rescued, he can no longer stay in Dragon Country!!! For the rest of his life, he can only wander alone in a foreign country. What's the point of such a result???"

Chu Lingjun was also angry. He slapped the table with his fair little hand and stood up.

"So what!!! Didn't you hear what Ye Chen said!! Instead of letting Uncle Liu be locked up and tortured, it's better to let him wander around outside!!!"

Ye Xingke glared at him and retorted. If one were to say what he was thinking, it was nothing more than that Chu Lingjun was getting engaged, and he was feeling disheartened, so he thought he might as well help Chu Lingjun one last favor.

"Are you stupid? I also want you to rescue Uncle Liu!"

"But...but if the truth is revealed, you will definitely not be by my side!!!"

"Uncle Liu was rescued, you must be the biggest suspect!! Even if there is no direct evidence to prove that you rescued him, will the Chu family's top executives give a reason??? It will only take a few minutes to kick you out of the Chu family??? By then, you won't be by my side!!! I have already lost Uncle Liu, I don't want to lose you again!!! Do you understand!!!"

Chu Lingjun's eyes were sparkling with crystal tears, full of resentment and grievance.

It turned out that, just like when she was in the Chu Family Ancestral Hall, it was not that she didn't want to save Chu Fengliu, but that she was afraid that Ye Xingke's identity would be exposed and leave her.

That's why she didn't want Ye Xingke to take the risk. This was a decision she made after hesitating for a long time.

Both parties are very important to her. She has already lost one and doesn't want to lose another.

Seeing Chu Lingjun biting her lips tightly and looking very aggrieved, Ye Xingke's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He stared at her blankly, unable to speak.

At this time, Chu Lingjun also realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry. Wasn't it too ambiguous to say things like "You're not by my side anymore" and "I don't want to lose you again"?

"No, no!! It's not like that. I'm just worried that if you go to save Uncle Liu, it will get me and Grandpa into trouble. I don't hope you won't leave me or anything like that..."

"You...just stay at home and don't cause me any trouble!!!"

Chu Lingjun blushed and lowered his head and murmured, like a shy rabbit.

Ye Xingke knew of course that what she said was not sincere, but seeing that Chu Lingjun cared about him so much, he couldn't help but be deeply moved.

"What about Uncle Liu? We can't keep him locked up forever, right?"

Ye Xingke was very tactful and did not mention what he had said before, and asked directly.

"I have decided. If it comes to no other choice, I will just give up my position as the heir to the Chu family and see if I can get Uncle Liu out."

"Chu Hongzhi's real goal is the position of the head of the Chu family. If I take the initiative to give it up, he will definitely be happy to make this deal. After all, the position of the heir to the Chu family is worth more than one trillion."

Chu Lingjun said softly, he didn't expect that she was actually prepared to sacrifice herself to save Chu Fengliu, but in this case, her own sacrifice would be too great, right?

"Give up the inheritance rights??? How can that be possible??? Your grandfather won't agree to that!!!"

Giving up the right of inheritance is no small matter. Ye Xingke was really anxious. He came forward and asked with concern on his face.

"Money is something outside of one's body, it is not as important as family. For my family, I am willing to pay..."

"Besides, if I continue to fight Chu Hongzhi, I won't be able to defeat him... It's hard to say whether I can successfully inherit the position of the head of the Chu family. It's better to give up voluntarily. Maybe I can save Uncle Liu..."

Chu Lingjun lay on the table dejectedly, with no light in her eyes. She had no confidence as a young girl just starting out to fight against a cunning guy like Chu Hongzhi.

"Without the position of heir to the Chu family, will Ye Chen still marry you???"

Ye Xingke asked tentatively.

"Then let him be. If he doesn't want to marry me because I lose my position as heir, that's fine too. At least I won't be struggling every day over whether to marry him or not."

Chu Lingjun sighed.

"Okay then, I'll think of a way. Even if we don't have to rescue Uncle Liu by force, there will always be other ways. Just give me this map first."

Ye Xingke calmly picked up the map on the table and put it in his arms.

"It's okay to keep the map next to you, but don't be impulsive! You have to understand that no matter who goes to rescue Uncle Liu, you are definitely the biggest suspect. The Chu family's top brass won't listen to reason and will definitely drive you away!!"

Chu Lingjun said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't be impulsive."

"But you have to promise me not to give up the position of heir easily. It should belong to you!"

Ye Xingke said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, I get it. I'm going to work first. Don't bother me."

Chu Lingjun sighed, turned around and went back to his busy official duties. Now was no time for her to continue complaining.

"Just wait and see. I will definitely rescue Uncle Liu in an upright manner and will not let him be disgraced."

Touching the map in his arms, a perfect plan has already been conceived in Ye Xingke's mind.
