Chapter 990 The Promise He Was Not Able To Keep For So Long

At the door, a man in his mid-40s stood as soon as Yuan Meng opened the door of their house,

Just a while ago, they had heard the bell ring and so came to see who it was.

After Yuan Meng asked the man if he needed something from them or if was there any reason for his arrival, the man only gazed at her with his sight trembling with many emotions.

Yuan Meng would have definitely felt if the man was staring at her with bad intentions, but apart from the deep regret and the pity in his eyes, there was nothing else that she could see.

She didn't understand why was this unknown man even looking at her with a piteous gaze.

She was sure that she had never met him before this week and never had she even spoken even a word with him.

But even then this man made her feel that he had known her for a long time, but she didn't even know him even in the slightest.

Meanwhile, the man also shook his head and with a simple smile asked.

"May I have a few words with Mr Ye?"

"Hmm."

Yuan Meng nodded as she was about to call for Ye Qian.

But just then she saw Ye Qian walk towards her.

"He wants to talk to you."

Yuan Meng only said these few words and then walked away like an obedient wife who didn't need to meddle in the talk of men.

"Ohh!"

Ye Qian raised his brows and nodded as his brows raised high.

With the voice from just now, Ye Qian was able to recognize the person with great ease.

While staying in his house, Ye Qian would never use his Spiritual Sense since it was a matter of privacy which he would definitely not want to take advantage of even if he knew that no one would know of this.

Of course, he was thinking about Ning Wei.

"Is there something important?"

Ye Qian looked at Yuan Meng's back with a side glance and asked the person.

"Yes, it is very very important."

The man at the door nodded with a serious look on his face.

Just a moment ago when he saw Yuan Meng who was also their Eldest miss whom they had promised to protect.

Although he had known and seen Yuan Meng grow for more than 15 years, this was the first time that he had faced her so up close.

And seeing her weary and tired body which was definitely not something that she had a few years ago, Le Zheng could not help but feel pity for her.

This Eldest miss of his who would have been easily able to live a life of riches without even lifting a finger of her was working so hard for her family, just how much she would have been made to suffer all these years knowing that her only emotional support that she had in this world had died.

First, it was her mother who left her at a tender age, then it was her aunt who treated her like her own daughter, then was her grandfather and also their Old Master.

But the one who should have loved her the most had not even taken a glance at her or cared about her much less say a few words which a father would to his daughter, much less spend time along with her.

And now that she had finally found someone, that person had also left her side.

It would not be wrong for someone else to think that everyone that would care or loved her had met their end in one way or the other.

Just this thought alone would be enough to bring anyone to be so overwhelmed that they would rather become a self that was just disordered and sometimes even lose their sense of affection for anyone.

But rather than being depressed, Yuan Meng had been taking care of her daughter just like any normal mother would while also hiding the pain and reluctance in her heart of losing her husband and everyone who was ever dear to her.

Although her condition was much better and she looked to be getting healthier with each day now, Le Zheng had seen Yuan Meng for all these 5 years when Ye Qian was away, so he was clear as to what were the things that his Eldest Miss had gone through.

Seeing her current condition, Le Zheng felt some relief.

Although he had seen Yuan Meng from afar these days and knew that she was only getting better, both in health and mental state, seeing her upfront had made his heart to swell a bit with joy.

Although he had been watching and keeping Yuan Meng from troubles from the shadows, it was still not enough to make a peace with his heart.

It was not because he felt something or had any kind of relationship with her, but because he had seen the conditions in which Yuan Meng used to stay and felt pity for her and along with the promise that the Old Master of the Yuan family who had asked him, there was no way that he would not disregard it.

"You don't have to worry about Mengmeng, since she is my wife, I will keep her safe from all the bad things and even happy all her life."

Ye Qian said lightly as he stared at Yuan Meng's flawless figure, but there was not even a tiny bit of obscene thought in his mind.

All that he had was gentleness and care for her.

Ye Qian then continued as a melancholic and self-blaming expression appeared on his face.

"Although these years, I have not been able to abide by that promise that I gave to her and our daughter, now that I have come back, I will not vouch to even go against the world if it meant happiness for them."

Le Zheng turned to Ye Qian and nodded, he didn't seem to know just what he should say to Ye Qian in response to his self-blame.
