“You’re a great guy too, Senior. You’re kind and gentle, and you always look out for me. You’ve helped me a lot in my learning.”

Her praise made Ning Mufan perk up. Just then, Tang Qiu’s phone rang. When she saw who it was, the corner of her mouth lifted. Ning Mufan wondered who it was who had gotten her grinning like a child.

“ll be off, Senior. Thanks again. I’ll treat you and Senior Hongwei to bubble tea next time.” A meal would be too expensive; she still had to save up for Jiang Shaocheng’s treatment.

“Lwas just about to leave too. We can go together.” Secretly, he wanted to know who she was meeting, and had made her so happy.

Back in the mansion, Jiang Shaocheng was in his study. He held a pen between his long, shapely fingers, buried up to his nose in various documents. His brow was creased, his handsome features painted over with exhaustion. He was massaging his temples when he heard a knock on the door from He Lei.

“Young Master, I’m about to go pick up the young mistress. Are you coming?”

Jiang Shaocheng tossed aside the document he had been holding and asked coolly, “What do you think?” As he stood, He Lei noted that the tall, lean lines of his body were accentuated by his youthful and casual style of clothing, giving his overall appearance some character.

In response to his young master’s question, he thought: If I didn’t allow him to come, I’d be lucky not to get beaten by him.

‘When they arrived at the university, He Lei pulled over, and Jiang Shaocheng called Tang Qiu. “Have you finished class? I’m outside the school.”

“Mhm.” The sound of her sweet voice made his heart melt.

“No need to rush. I’ll be here.” Jiang Shaocheng ended the call and adjusted his tie, gazing expectantly at the school gate.

It was a few minutes before Tang Qiu emerged, although she had never once left his mind. Only-she was accompanied by a man. Whatever they had been talking about had left his wife smiling cheerily.

‘The man reached out to embrace her, and Jiang Shaocheng’s face turned black as thunder, his eyes going cold as ice.

In the driver’s seat, He Lei practically felt the temperature in the car drop by several degrees. He glanced out of the window and saw what Jiang Shaocheng was looking at. He turned back, his scalp tingling uneasily. “Tl go see what’s going on now, Young Master.”

“Go. And while you’re at it, get that man’s hands off my wife.” Right now, he was pretending to be unable to walk, so he couldn’t get out of the car. Had it been up to him, he would have smacked that man’s hands away, then beaten him into crippled submission.
