“Oh, I forgot to tell you. Since Mucheng was kidnapped, I hired a very agile private tutor for her. I originally thought of him as a tutor who could also act as her bodyguard, but I didn’t expect this young man to really have some skills. You know Mucheng hates it when I hire tutors for her, right?”
“I know, didn’t this situation give you a headache?”
“Exactly, but since this young man came, Mucheng seems to have changed. Her usually spoiled temper has improved a lot.”
“Really? Is this young man really that amazing?”
“I don’t know, maybe they just have things to talk about since they’re around the same age. Anyway, he’s quite good, and I like him.”
“Aren’t you afraid your precious daughter might be charmed by him? You know, I only hire female tutors for Yuxin because I’m afraid of people with ulterior motives.”
“I’m not worried, because he doesn’t have any extra thoughts. Initially, I was quite suspicious, but after Ah Fu monitored him, I completely relaxed. The guy is so dedicated to his work that he practically clocks out and goes home every day.”
Li Jing laughed at this point. It was rare to see such a steady and mature personality in a young man just over 20 years old. This unique mindset was quite different from ordinary people.
“Is this young man really as amazing as you say?”
“Don’t believe me if you don’t want to. Just remember, you’re not allowed to poach him! I have high hopes for this young man.”
“Look at you, do I seem like that kind of person? Besides, I would never let a man be Yuxin’s tutor.”
“Alright, I won’t waste time talking to you. The overseas group is coming to discuss the contract today, and I need to prepare.”
“Go ahead, be careful.”
Su Wanli watched his friend leave and glanced at the time on his watch, realizing it was almost time to leave the gathering. After all, people of their status only attended such events to support the higher-ups.
“Alright, it’s time to take my dear daughter home... Hmm?”
Just as Su Wanli was about to head to the pastry area to find his daughter, he suddenly saw Su Yuxin standing in front of him. The serious expression on her face hinted at something unusual.
“Yuxin? When did you get here? Didn’t you go to eat some cakes?”
“No.”
Su Yuxin gently shook her head and looked at Su Wanli with a serious expression.
“Father, is what Uncle Li said true? When did Mucheng hire a private tutor? And who is that young man you mentioned? And...”
“Yuxin, wait!”
Su Wanli was almost overwhelmed by Yuxin’s barrage of questions and quickly interrupted.
“Can you ask one question at a time, please?”
“Okay! First, is what Uncle Li and Father said true?”
“You mean Uncle Li hiring a tutor for Mucheng?”
“Yes!”
Su Yuxin nodded with a determined look, confirming her question. Earlier, she had come over politely to greet them, but as she approached the crowd, she overheard Su Wanli and Li Jing talking about Li Mucheng. At that moment, Su Yuxin began to eavesdrop quietly.
“Well... I only heard a rough idea, so let me explain it to you. Uncle Li hired a bodyguard and tutor for Mucheng, and the results have been pretty good.”
“Why didn’t Mucheng tell me about this?”
“Maybe it’s just a trivial matter.”
“It’s not! Mucheng would tell me about everything, I’m her best friend!”
Su Yuxin suddenly felt betrayed, as if a lump had formed in her chest, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Mucheng... why didn’t you tell me? Are you hiding something? You weren’t like this before, why are you doing this? Why...
“No way! I need to go ask Mucheng for clarification!”
“What? No, no, it’s already so late, and you have classes tomorrow. Yuxin, you can’t be so reckless.”
“Then, Father, can I ask you for a favor?”
“What favor?”
“I want to know who Mucheng’s private tutor is!”
“This...”
Su Wanli hesitated, but seeing his beloved daughter’s eyes brimming with tears, he knew if he refused, Yuxin would start crying any moment.
Just finding out who it is shouldn’t be a problem, right? After all, I’m not trying to poach Li Jing’s guy, and maybe Yuxin will be satisfied after just taking a look.
“Ah, alright then. But Yuxin, you have to behave and not do anything rash, or I’ll have to ground you.”
With her father’s approval, Su Yuxin finally put away her pitiful expression and smiled sweetly.
“Father, you’re the best~”
“Ah... Why do I have a bad feeling about this?”
......
“Achoo! Hmm... What’s wrong with me lately? Why do I keep sneezing?”
Ye Feng tightened the blanket around himself as he lay in bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard faint footsteps in the living room.
Why isn’t she sleeping at this hour? Is that woman crazy?
Initially planning to mind his own business, Ye Feng suddenly remembered Xie Yuyan’s task and sighed. He put on his clothes and walked out.
“Click”
As soon as Ye Feng opened the door, he saw a pair of deep blue eyes in the darkness looking at him. Judging by the position of those eyes, Ye Feng had a good idea of what Xie Yuyan was doing.
Wow, she must be starving.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour?”
Xie Yuyan seemed a bit wary of Ye Feng’s appearance and unconsciously took a step back.
“I was about to ask you the same thing. Why are you going to the kitchen so late at night?”
“Um...”
Xie Yuyan was momentarily at a loss for words, stammering and unable to say much.
“I... I need to go to the bathroom.”
“The bathroom isn’t that way.”
“So I got lost!”
Embarrassed, Xie Yuyan raised her voice to interrupt, and the sudden loud noise in the quiet night drew both their attention.
“Grumble~~~~”
At that moment, Xie Yuyan’s stomach seemed to protest her earlier excuse, loudly growling...
“Hungry, huh?”
“This is just my stomach making noises because it’s uncomfortable!”
“Grumble~ Grumble~”
“Look, your stomach is protesting.”
“It’s just trying to go to the bathroom!”
“Grumble! Grumble!”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
“Anything will do... Thank you...”
Seeing that Xie Yuyan had finally given in to her hunger, Ye Feng suppressed his urge to laugh and prepared to turn on the light. But just as he pressed the switch, Xie Yuyan stopped him.
“Wait! Don’t turn it on...”
“Click”
It was already too late...

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos.
