Signing the Contract

Watching Ye Feng drink the milk tea she had prepared without any suspicion, Su Yuxin happily sipped her own.

"Click."

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside. Following the noise, they saw Su Wanli walking in.

Finally, it was time to get down to business.

Ye Feng, who had been waiting for a while, felt much more at ease. He had been feeling quite uncomfortable staying here for so long, as he didn’t want to waste his precious time on meaningless things.

"Mr. Su, you’re finally here."

Ye Feng stood up and glanced at the distracted Su Wanli. For some reason, he felt that Su Wanli was completely different from the last time he had seen him.

The man who had once been full of vigor and exuded the aura of a powerful CEO now looked like a wilted cucumber.

It seemed like something had happened to reduce such a successful man to this state. Terrifying... it was simply too terrifying...

Little did Ye Feng know that he himself was the culprit behind Su Wanli’s current condition.

Su Wanli expressionlessly looked at Ye Feng, then glanced down at the milk tea in his hand.

"How’s the milk tea, kid? Is it good?"

"Not bad."

"......"

"Mr. Su, shouldn’t we get down to business now?"

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Ye Feng quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"Business? What business do you want to discuss?"

"Well... Mr. Su, after getting to know Yuxin, I think I can help her improve academically to make her even more outstanding."

"What?"

Su Wanli was somewhat angered by Ye Feng’s words. After all, his daughter’s grades were already quite impressive. Whether it was theoretical knowledge or courses like music and dance, she was highly praised by her teachers. Ye Feng’s sudden suggestion that his daughter needed improvement left Su Wanli quite displeased.

Just as he was about to speak up and stop the conversation, Su Yuxin, who was standing behind him, poked his back and whispered in an extremely soft voice, "Father~ please, I want Ye Feng to be my teacher~"

"But Yuxin, your classes..."

"Come on, I’m sure Ye Feng’s knowledge is top-notch. Besides, Father, you haven’t even tested him yet, so it’s not fair to just send him away!"

Su Yuxin countered Su Wanli’s point, which felt like another hole had been torn in Su Wanli’s already tattered coat.

"Sigh..."

Under the pressure from his daughter, Su Wanli could only let out a sigh and reluctantly began to discuss the matter with Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng, what’s the form of the contract you signed with Old Li?"

"I’m to serve as Miss Li Mucheng’s personal bodyguard while also teaching her. The lessons mainly focus on self-defense and survival skills."

"What about the class schedule?"

"Every weekend, I go to Miss Li Mucheng’s villa for two days of classes."

"So, does that mean you’re free on weekdays?"

"Yes, the contract states that my time outside of class hours is my own to arrange."

Perfect! That means Ye Feng will have time to spend with me!

Standing behind them, Su Yuxin excitedly stomped her feet and, out of Ye Feng’s sight, kept tapping Su Wanli’s chair, as if to tell him that she was determined to have Ye Feng and wouldn’t give up until she got her way!

"Sigh."

Su Wanli let out a long breath, suddenly looking several years older.

When daughters grow up, they’re no longer their fathers’...

Seeing that Su Wanli hadn’t given his approval yet, Su Yuxin couldn’t help but speak up, "Father! I think Ye Feng is right. I believe that under his guidance, I’ll become even better. Look at how much Mucheng has changed, hasn’t she?"

"Well... sigh, but I’ll have to discuss this with your Uncle Li first. After all, Ye Feng is the tutor he hired."

"Okay, thank you, Father~"

Seeing that her father had agreed to her request, Su Yuxin playfully stuck her tongue out at Ye Feng.

Su Wanli took out his phone and dialed Li Jing’s number.

"Hello?"

"Old Li, I need to discuss something with you."

Su Wanli gave an awkward laugh. He had previously promised Li Jing that he wouldn’t poach his staff, but now, his daughter had taken the initiative to grab the shovel. What was he supposed to do?

"Old Su, just say what you need to say. Why so hesitant? We’re old friends, no need to be so formal."

"Well, it’s nothing major. I just wanted to borrow Ye Feng for a bit."

"Ye Feng? What do you need him for?"

"I want Ye Feng to tutor Yuxin, but don’t worry! It won’t interfere with Mucheng’s regular classes."

"Ye Feng tutoring Yuxin? Old Su, I thought you never hired male tutors?"

"Ye Feng’s different. I met him today, and the kid seems quite reliable."

"Well, well, so you’re here to poach my staff, huh?"

Li Jing joked.

"It’s not like I have a choice. You know Yuxin is the apple of my and my wife’s eye. So, can you make this happen?"

"Alright, but I’ll say this upfront—if anything happens later, don’t come blaming me. Don’t say Old Li wasn’t being fair."

"Got it. I’ll treat you to a meal next time."

"Sure, sure. Talk to you later."

......

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanli looked at Su Yuxin’s glowing eyes and said, "Alright, your Uncle Li said it’s fine."

"Thank you, Father!"

Su Yuxin excitedly threw herself into Su Wanli’s arms and began to act coquettishly.

"I knew Father would be the best~"

"Sigh."

Su Wanli didn’t know how many times he had sighed today, but he could only keep all his frustrations bottled up inside.

"So, Ye Feng, when would you be available to tutor Yuxin?"

"How about Thursdays and Fridays?"

"Alright, I’ll have someone prepare the contract for you to sign. The salary will be the same as what Old Li offered. Is that acceptable?"

"No problem."

Ye Feng readily agreed. He didn’t really care about the salary; as long as he could get closer to Su Yuxin, that was enough.

Soon, the contract was signed, and Ye Feng officially became Su Yuxin's tutor.

"Mr. Su, it’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now. I’ll be here on time next week."

"Alright, then..."

Just as Su Wanli was about to leave with Su Yuxin, she suddenly ran over to Ye Feng and said to Su Wanli, "Father, I’ll walk Ye Feng out~"

"......"

Before Su Wanli could respond, Su Yuxin quickly pushed Ye Feng out of the room.

"Why did I even bring up the tutoring thing with Old Li? Now my daughter’s fallen for him."

Su Wanli could clearly see Su Yuxin’s true intentions, but he ultimately agreed because of Ye Feng.

Throughout the entire conversation, he hadn’t shown any excitement or enthusiasm. It seemed like he was just going through the motions.

This kid is really strange......
