Thinking about the matter with Xie Yuyan at home that needed to be handled, Ye Feng didn’t dare to spend all his time on Li Mucheng. Moreover, there was Su Yuxin’s class, which further reduced his free time. However, given the current situation, Xie Yuyan was relatively safe as long as she didn’t act recklessly.
After weighing his options, Ye Feng nodded under Li Mucheng’s expectant gaze. “President Li, I’ll do my best to ensure the young lady’s safety, but that’s only during the class. If it’s outside my job scope, there’s nothing I can do.”
“No, no, I’m not asking you to guard Mucheng all day. I just need you to be there when necessary. Can you do that?”
“That... shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Good. With you protecting Mucheng, I can feel a bit more at ease.”
With Ye Feng’s promise, Li Jing let out a sigh of relief. What he valued wasn’t Ye Feng’s strength but the fact that as long as his daughter was with him, she wouldn’t do anything foolish. After all, Ye Feng was just an ordinary person with good physical fitness.
Hearing this, Li Mucheng, who was sitting on the sofa, excitedly walked over. “Huh? Does that mean the teacher can come anytime?”
“Young lady, you’ve misunderstood. I clearly said only when necessary...”
“But I always need the teacher~ Isn’t that the case?”
“......”
“Mucheng, stop fooling around.”
Li Jing suddenly spoke up, forcing Li Mucheng to put away her playful expression.
“Hmph.”
“Well, I’ll leave it to you during this period, Ye Feng. Don’t worry about the salary; I’ll make sure you’re handsomely rewarded once everything’s done.”
“President Li, you’ve misunderstood. My goal isn’t money.”
Not money? Is he after my daughter?!
Li Jing was momentarily stunned but quickly realized what Ye Feng meant. His expression suddenly turned fierce, and Ye Feng, realizing the misunderstanding, hurriedly waved his hands to explain. “What I meant is that protecting the young lady is my duty. Additional rewards aren’t necessary. I’m just doing my job.”
“I see. Ye Feng, you’re too modest.”
Li Jing chuckled awkwardly. He had always thought Ye Feng had a good character.
“Tch, so that’s what he meant...”
Li Mucheng, on the other hand, was disappointed. She had thought there would be a touching story of love overcoming all obstacles, but it turned out Ye Feng was just talking about his job.
How annoying! Why is the teacher so attractive yet as clueless as a block of wood? Does he have no emotions at all?
“Let’s end it here for today. Ye Feng, if you’re heading back, I’ve already arranged a car for you.”
“Thank you, President Li. I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying this, Ye Feng turned and nodded to Li Mucheng, but she followed him.
“Mucheng!”
“I’ll see the teacher off!”
“Sigh.”
Watching Li Mucheng quickly push Ye Feng out, Li Jing let out a heavy sigh. It seemed his daughter had completely fallen for him. He couldn’t help but wonder if calling Ye Feng over had been the right decision.
“Young lady, you know the current situation. I hope you can protect yourself, okay? If you’re in danger, make sure to prioritize your safety.”
When they reached the security gate, Ye Feng turned to Li Mucheng and spoke earnestly. He knew his lecturing might not have much effect on her, but he still had to try.
“Huh? Teacher, are you worried about me?”
Li Mucheng blinked, slightly surprised as she looked at Ye Feng.
“Young lady, stop overthinking things. Did you remember what I told you?”
“Alright, alright, I got it. But can you promise me one thing?”
As she said this, Li Mucheng looked into Ye Feng’s eyes, her lips curving into a charming smile. But to Ye Feng, that smile seemed a bit unsettling.
“Wh...what is it?”
“Then it’s settled~”
Li Mucheng pulled Ye Feng’s arm and whispered softly into his ear.
“Do you remember the condition you agreed to when you first convinced me to let you be my tutor?”
“What condition?”
Ye Feng vaguely remembered that he had indeed agreed to something when he first became Li Mucheng’s tutor.
“Didn’t you promise to help me find the person who kidnapped me?”
“Ah... that’s right. What about it?”
Ye Feng hadn’t expected Li Mucheng to bring this up. He thought she had long forgotten about it.
“My request is simple. I want you to help me find that person.”
“......”
“What’s wrong, teacher? Don’t you want to?”
“Of course, I’ll help. But let’s discuss this later, okay?”
“Alright, but don’t lie to me, teacher. Otherwise, I’ll show you what I’m capable of.”
“Alright, alright, I got it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now. Goodbye, young lady.”
Ye Feng clearly didn’t take Li Mucheng’s words seriously and casually brushed them off before leaving in a hurry. However, Li Mucheng wasn’t upset by his dismissal. Instead, she seemed even happier.
“Goodbye, teacher. Be careful on your way~”
......
With the car arranged by Li Jing, Ye Feng quickly arrived at his apartment building. As expected, when he checked to see if anyone was still watching him, he found that the previous observers were gone. It seemed their attention had shifted elsewhere, which was a good thing for him.
“I’m back.”
When Ye Feng opened the door and stepped into the living room, he saw Xie Yuyan curled up on the sofa, seemingly asleep. Glancing at the dining table, he noticed a couple of dishes still steaming hot, with the bowls and chopsticks neatly arranged.
Seeing this, Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart. Just then, a pair of arms wrapped around him from behind.
“Ye Feng... you’re back. The food’s still warm. Go ahead and eat.”
“Yeah. You haven’t eaten either, right? Let’s eat together.”
“Hehe, I’m not that hungry yet. I’ll just watch you eat... Eek!”
Xie Yuyan had just buried her face into Ye Feng’s back when he dragged her to the dining chair.
“There’s no such thing as not being hungry. Let’s eat together.”
With that, Ye Feng took the bowls and chopsticks, served some rice, and placed it in front of Xie Yuyan.
“Alright, let’s eat together. But Ye Feng, why did you suddenly say you’d be back late today? Did something happen?”
Seeing that Ye Feng’s attitude toward her wasn’t as cold as before, Xie Yuyan finally showed a faint smile.
Finally... is there still a chance?
