214 Little boss (2/2)

A faint laughing voice came from inside the house. That weird voice gave Shen Jing a shock. How could there be someone in the house?

She shot a look at the living room and found a person sitting on the sofa enjoying a cup of tea in his hand leisurely.

Who else could it be other than Mo Wen. That utterly detestable face finally appeared before her eyes.

”When did you sneak into the house? Why are you acting like a thief, can't you come in openly!”

Shen Jing was instantaneously agitated. When did this bastard sneaked in?

”Wrongly accused. I did come in openly, just that you didn't see me.”

Mo Wen explained with a face showing much grievances.

When he arrived at Shen Jing's place just now, he coincidentally found the water despatch going into the house, so he just followed behind him but Shen Jing didn't detect his presence at that time.”

Shen Jing snorted lightly and sat on the sofa with a straight face without a word.

”Who are you looking for just now?” Mo Wen asked with a grin.

”Why do you care?” Shen Jing looked askance coldly at Mo Wen.

”Are you waiting for me?” Mo Wen continued asking smilingly.

”Don't be narcissistic.”

Shen Jing felt like throwing a shoe at Mo Wen's face.

”Then who are waiting for?”

Mo Wen raised his brows as Shen Jing was standing at the door just now, obviously waiting for someone.

”What that got to do with you?” Shen Jing turned her face away, couldn't be bothered answering Mo Wen.

Mo Wen looked at Shen Jing with a faint smile but didn't say anything.

”Why are you looking for me?”

Shen Jing couldn't stand Mo Wen's intense look so she changed the subject coldly.

”To apply for leave,” Mo Wen replied.

”What? You are applying for leave again?”

Shen Jing stared at Mo Wen. If eyes could kill, Mo Wen was reckoned to have been killed a hundred times. He just came back and he was applying for leave again, what exactly he was doing.

”There are some issues to settle,” Mo Wen nodded.

”How many days?”

Shen Jing inhaled deeply and asked without any emotions on her face.

”Ten days.”

Mo Wen answered after thinking for a bit. Learning from his last experience, he learnt to apply for a few more days this time just in case anything was to delay the trip.

”Little boss, please give me a break. I can't approve for ten days leave.”

Shen Jing rolled her eyes and said helplessly. Ten days leave would need to be approved by the faculty with a good reason. There would be terrible consequences when it was being found out to be an absence without approval.

It was difficult enough for her to cover up Mo Wen's ”evidence of crime”. It was bad enough for him to play truant normally, now he was running out of the school every day, she really couldn't be implicated…!

”I don't need you to approve my leave as the school had already approved it. I am just informing you. After all, you are my class mentor, I just would like to let you know out of my respect.”

Mo Wen said with a laugh.

”Respect me!”

Shen Jing was not drinking or else she would be spurting it on Mo Wen's face. When had he ever respected her? It would be considered good for him not to bully her.

”The faculty approved your leave?” Shen Jing glanced at Mo Wen doubtfully.

”Of course,” Mo Wen nodded.

”You already know how to apply leave from the management, why are you telling me then? Go away then…”

Shen Jing commented with a cold face.

Though young, he was full of tricks. Even know how to apply leave from the management, could he be looking down on her limited authority and couldn't be bothered applying for the leave with her?

”Err…”

Mo Wen really couldn't understand why Shen Jing had to show him a cold face all the time. What's exactly wrong with women!

”When I am away, it's better for you not to leave the school. Don't go anywhere.”

Mo Wen said gravely. He was afraid that something might happen to Shen Jing when she was out as something had nearly happened the last time. If Shen Jing was in the school, the possibility of anything happening was slim with the conditions that he had with Old Man Wei.

”Why are you even restricting my freedom? What is it based on?

Shen Jing raised her brows. This fellow, could he be thinking of being the head of the house?
