Chapter 590: 589

Underneath the moonlight in the flower field, the enticing glow of the lanterns illuminated the young girl’s face which was as white as jade, lightly blushed due to admiration.

Upon seeing Selena in this state, Yan Ling immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Her acute intuition told her that staying any longer would lead to something unpleasant unfolding.

Summoning her courage, Selena bit her lip gently, "Wesley, I...">

Seeing this, Yan Ling hastily stepped back.

She had an ominous feeling. Could it be possible that Selena had feelings for her?

Pondering this, Yan Ling wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and discreetly retreated further.

"Selena, it’s getting quite late and I’m feeling a bit tired. Maybe I should..."> return to rest.

But before she could finish her sentence, sudden hurried footsteps echoed from the nearby path, followed by a freckled little maid running over, panting heavily.

Selena was very displeased at having her confession abruptly interrupted and she sternly scolded the little maid with a cold face.

"Have you forgotten the rules of the Leo Family? What could possibly warrant such panic?"

The freckled little maid immediately bowed in fright.

"Miss, the Family Head just expressed the need to see Mr. Wesley. He asked me to personally relay the message."

"An order from grandfather?"

Upon hearing this, Selena’s eyes shone with delight and anticipation, instantly dismissing her anger.

If her grandfather wanted to see Wesley at this time, it must be regarding the banquet."

Thinking of everything that was to unfold that night, Selena felt her heart flutter with anticipation.

"Wesley, since grandfather summoned you, go ahead. I’ll talk to the housekeeper about the banquet arrangements."

Having said this, she shyly glanced at the boy and then quickly lowered her head.

"...Alright."

Having narrowly escaped, Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed the freckled maid.

Though she wasn’t certain about her suspicion, or what Selena had planned to say, her expression was quite sinister, causing Yan Ling to feel unsettled.

Shaking her head, Yan Ling cast aside the tumultuous thoughts in her mind. Now was not the time to overthink.

She was slightly troubled about why Mr. Leo wanted to see her.

She obtained the Clan Badge and the poison was healed as well. So logically, he should no longer have any use for her services, right?

With these doubts in mind, Yan Ling followed the freckled maid towards Mr. Leo’s study in Leo Manor.

The room was decorated very simple and rustic, with a faint aroma wafting through the air.

"Mr. Leo, you wanted to see me?"

Upon entering the room, Yan Ling went straight to the point.

Observing the upright young woman in front of him, Mr. Leo sat in his chair, his eyes brimming with approval.

"Indeed, I do have something to discuss with you."

Saying this Mr. Leo paused, smiling as he stroked his beard.

"Lad, there’s an old saying in the East, ’A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring."

"We Leo folk know the virtue of gratitude. You not only cured my ailment but also returned our Clan Badge. You are indeed our family’s greatest benefactor. If you ever need our help, we Leos will go through fire and water, sparing no effort!"

"..."

Looking at the crafty old fox before her, the corner of Yan Ling’s mouth twitched. Even though Mr. Leo’s words sounded pleasant, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being manipulated...
