Hearing that Ye Chen wanted to make an amulet for her, Song Wanting was extremely excited.

She didn't know what kind of thing Ye Chen's amulet was or what kind of effect it had.

But she knew that this thing was made by Ye Chen for her, and he was going to make it himself. Just the reason that Master Ye made it himself was enough for her to be grateful.

So her eyes turned red, and she said gratefully: "Master Ye, you are so good to Wanting, I don't know how to repay you!"

When she said this, Song Wanting's inner monologue was: "If possible, I really want to give myself to you, accompany you in this life, and serve you by your side for the rest of my life to repay your kindness to me."

However, how could she, a proud young lady of a big family, be embarrassed to say such words.

Ye Chen was very indifferent to this.

Because he himself was a person who valued affection and righteousness and knew how to repay kindness.

Although Song Wanting was not his benefactor, she was his friend, and a friend whose character was trustworthy and worth confiding in.

For such a friend, he was naturally full of sincerity.

What's more, Ye Chen always felt vaguely that Song Wanting's significance to him was a bit different from ordinary friends.

In Ye Chen's heart, he admired Song Wanting's character and her style of doing things.

And he felt that Song Wanting's fate was similar to his own, both born in a famous family but lost their parents early.

However, her fate was slightly better than his; at least she didn't leave the family and fall into a foreign land.

Precisely because he admired Song Wanting's character and sympathized with her, Ye Chen wanted to take care of her more, which was also a natural feeling in his heart.

Song Wanting deliberately didn't drive the car very fast, so she had more time to be alone with Ye Chen in the car.

The Song family villa and the Tang Chen Yi Pin where Ye Chen lived were separated by the magnificent Yangtze River, so when Song Wanting drove the car near the Yangtze River Bridge, she suddenly turned to look at Ye Chen, her eyes full of expectation as she said: "Master Ye, if you are not in a hurry to go home, can you accompany me for a walk by the river?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Okay."

Song Wanting said happily: "Great, I know a place that is very quiet and no one goes to. We can take a walk on the river beach and blow the wind."

As she spoke, Song Wanting drove the car to a small road along the river.

After driving for one or two kilometers, she parked the car on the side of the road and said to Ye Chen: "There is a road down here, let's get off here."

Ye Chen nodded, pushed open the car door, and walked down.

The weather was getting colder, but it didn't affect him much.

Song Wanting wore a furry coat, and inside was the noble and elegant evening dress she wore at the birthday banquet. She also held a red Hermes handbag in her hand.

A cold wind blew, and her long, flowing hair danced in the wind, with a few strands of green silk brushing her face, looking quite charming.

There was no one in front or behind, and no cars. Song Wanting took a deep breath against the wind and said with a smile: "I always liked to be by the river when I was a child, but as I grew up and got busier, I didn't have time."

As she spoke, she said to Ye Chen: "Master Ye, let's go down."

Ye Chen responded and said: "Okay, but these stairs are a bit steep, you should be careful when you go down."

Song Wanting shyly stretched out her soft hand and handed it to Ye Chen, saying softly: "Master Ye, can you trouble you to help me? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll fall..."

In fact, she wasn't afraid of falling, but wanted to take this opportunity to be more intimate and close to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen saw that this stone step was indeed very long and quite steep, extending from the embankment to the river beach. If Song Wanting, a girl, really slipped and fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, he took Song Wanting's soft, tender hand and led her carefully down the stone steps.

At this time, there was no one on the river beach, and occasionally a few ships with lights passed by on the river. The diesel engine made a loud sound, but it didn't feel very noisy on this empty river surface.

After arriving at the river beach, Ye Chen let go of Song Wanting's hand, faced the cold wind blowing slowly from the river, and said with a smile: "This place is really not bad."

Song Wanting smiled slightly, smoothed the green silk between her temples, and said: "I liked to come here when I was a child. At that time, my father was busy with work, so my mother brought me here every day."

As she spoke, she sighed with melancholy and sadness, and added: "At that time, my mother would drive me, park the car in the same place, then walk down the same stone steps, holding my hand as carefully as you did just now."

Ye Chen nodded gently.

When he grew up in the orphanage, he would often think of his parents.

When he was young, he wasn't as strong as he is now. Every time he thought of them, he would hide in the quilt or hide in the corner and cry.

But after a long time, he slowly got used to it.

The hard life at the beginning made him understand many precious truths.

For example, the dead are gone, for example, let the sad things that happened in the past pass quietly.

At this time, Song Wanting beside him sighed: "I went to sweep the graves of my parents this morning, and I couldn't believe that they had been gone for more than ten years. Everything in my childhood is still vivid in my mind. Many times I have an illusion, feeling that I am still living at the age of eight or nine."

Ye Chen laughed at himself and sighed: "You can still go to sweep the graves of your parents, I don't even know where my parents are buried now."

"Ah?" Song Wanting asked in surprise: "Can't you find them? Or did something happen back then?"

Ye Chen said bitterly: "When my parents passed away, I was only eight years old. At that time, I couldn't even take care of myself, let alone know where to solve a full meal, so I had no ability to handle their funeral. Later, when I wanted to find them, I couldn't find them anymore."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "However, their ashes might have been taken back by my grandfather's family, but I don't know the specifics."

Song Wanting couldn't help but ask him: "Master Ye, do you still have relatives in this world?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Yes, but I'm not ready to see them yet."

Song Wanting nodded gently, her beautiful eyelashes blinked, and said: "Master Ye, let's walk along the river."

"Okay." Ye Chen agreed readily and walked side by side with Song Wanting along the river.

Song Wanting smiled and said: "By the way, Master Ye, do you remember the process of our first meeting?"

Ye Chen laughed: "Of course, at Jiqing Hall, my father-in-law accidentally broke an antique vase of yours."

Song Wanting nodded and said: "I was shocked by your technique of repairing the vase at that time, thinking how could a young man master the lost repair technique? This person is too powerful. But, I never dreamed at that time that it was just the tip of the iceberg of Master Ye, and I never dreamed that you would help me so much..."
