Le Yao quickly picked up Shuo Shuo and began to gently coax him.
Zheng Ruyu's face paled instantly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"Your skill level is nothing special." Nangong Jue's eyes narrowed slightly. "Alright, get out. Someone will pay you for today. Don't come again."
"My lord, I..."
Nangong Jue coldly looked up at her.
Zheng Ruyu's words were frozen in her throat; she couldn't utter a single one.
Shuo Shuo had stopped crying and was leaning on Le Yao's shoulder, but he was still sobbing, which looked quite pitiful.
However, Le Yao didn't think it was a big deal, just a mistake, so why was he so angry? But she wisely didn't say anything, after all, he was her employee.
Zheng Ruyu ran out with tears in her eyes, but after leaving the villa, she looked back. She had thought that Le Yao would put in a good word for her, but... her resentment only deepened.
"She made a mistake because she was startled by you, why are you making such a big deal out of it? I think her music therapy is actually effective for Shuo Shuo..." Le Yao rolled her eyes at Nangong Jue.
Nangong Jue sighed, feeling a pang of sadness. In the past, if another woman had looked at him inappropriately, she would have noticed long ago and become intensely jealous. But now, although Zheng Ruyu concealed it well, her gaze towards him was always blatantly open, yet she hadn't noticed at all, not even…
Seeing that he was silent, Le Yao didn't say anything more. Instead, she took the now calmed-down Shuo Shuo's hand and said goodbye to Aunt Ling as they walked back.
"Alan," Nangong Jue called out to her from the doorway.
Le Yao stopped in her tracks, but let Shuo Shuo go into the courtyard first before turning back to Nangong Jue and asking, "Is something the matter?"
“That Zheng Ruyu has designs on me.” Nangong Jue could only offer the honest advice, “So, you shouldn’t have much contact with her in the future.”
Le Yao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Nangong Jue sighed helplessly: "Whether it's true or not, in the end, she'll want to hurt you."
"Why?"
"Because those women all feel that as long as you exist, they have no chance, so..."
"Nonsense!" Le Yao exclaimed. "We're divorced, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Nangong Jue's lips twitched: "But they won't think that way."
"Then you should stay away from me."
"Even if I'm far away from you, as long as I don't marry them, they'll still think it's your fault."
"This..." Le Yao was speechless, but thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. Many brainless fans thought like that, so she couldn't help but sigh, "Then why weren't they jealous of Yan Zimeng when she was by your side?"
“Because…” Nangong Jue hesitated for a moment, “Do you really want to know the result?”
Tell me about it.
“Because they thought Yan Zimeng was a goddess who was high above them and unattainable, and I was someone they could never reach. So they thought we were a perfect match… In other words, when someone is strong enough, others don’t even have the right to be jealous…” He paused for a moment, “However, Yan Zimeng was never by my side.”
Le Yao pouted: "So you mean I can't get rid of you no matter what, right?"
