After returning home, Le Yao mentioned Ma Lin to Nangong Jue: "The old man loves sweets too much. I've found that he's practically addicted. Even though I use artificial sweeteners, he's getting old, and eating too much isn't good for him."

Unexpectedly, Nangong Jue sighed and said, "There's really nothing we can do about it. My teacher's wife has spent most of her life fighting wits with him over this."

"Then when I make him a cake in the future, it will look big, but the actual amount will be small. Do you believe me?"

"Haha, do you believe he'll know right away that you're fooling him?"

“Indeed, he’s a cunning old fox.” Le Yao laughed, then suddenly thought of something. “By the way, do you and him have a special relationship?” She always felt that the old man was paying special attention to her because of this guy.

"Silly girl, you only just realized?" Nangong Jue pinched Le Yao's cheek.

"Speak quickly." Le Yao reached out and pinched the flesh on his waist.

Nangong Jue's eyes suddenly turned deep and unfathomable.

Le Yao was immediately startled by the stare and quickly gave an awkward laugh, "Um... I'll go prepare some food." Then she prepared to escape.

However, Nangong Jue wasn't about to let her run away; he simply picked her up and carried her upstairs.

"What are you doing? You bastard..." Le Yao struggled, but to no avail. In the end, she was completely devoured, leaving not even a trace.

Nangong Jue leaned against the bedside with satisfaction, looking at Le Yao with doting eyes: "You like it too, don't you?"

Le Yao's face flushed, but she dared not move, fearing that this guy would unleash his beastly nature again.

"I once saved Principal Ma and his wife."

Upon hearing this, Le Yao immediately perked up: "What's going on?"

"Professor Ma is a world-renowned mathematician and polymer physicist with outstanding contributions. You can search for him online; it's very detailed. Several countries have tried to recruit him with high salaries, but the old man is stubborn. He studies hard to serve his country, so he refused them all..."

“Hmm.” Le Yao nodded. She had also noticed that the old man had extremely positive values. A principal like that would naturally inspire a group of teachers with positive values, and the atmosphere in the school would definitely be positive as well. This is why Jiaotong University has become a first-class university in a second-tier city like Xiling.

"About ten years ago, when I first became the head of S District 1, I carried out my first protection mission. The people I was protecting were Principal Ma and Mrs. Shao Nan. They were going abroad for a week-long academic exchange..."

Le Yao expressed her understanding, because not only was the old man impressive, but his wife was also very accomplished. She was a senior translator, fluent in seven languages. When they first met, the name seemed familiar, and she only realized it later when she went to her teacher's wife for English tutoring. Many of the reference books and even textbooks used today were co-edited by her teacher's wife.

These two are national treasures; their safety must be guaranteed when they travel.

"As a result, they tried to force the couple to stay, which led to an incident, and in the end, the other party became even more shameless..."

Le Yao frowned.

"However, they didn't succeed in the end. After going through many hardships, they finally got their way. From then on, they treated me like their son, so you must have been treated like their daughter-in-law."
