Chapter 443 A Little Gift for You
Ye Wanxi's amulet played a crucial role in her son's miraculous survival.
At this point, he'd rather die than just give her a few days off.
However, Ye Wanxi had no interest in Director Jiao's life whatsoever. After listening to so much, she only asked out of curiosity, "Is your son still abroad?"
"He's back." Director Jiao said, a smile appearing on his face. "His flight is today, and he'll arrive tonight. He's almost finished all his coursework, except for his graduation project. His advisor has a good relationship with him and didn't make things difficult for him after learning about it. He allowed him to return to China to complete the project, as long as he reports the results to his advisor regularly."
Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "That's good. The place he lives in is not safe, and he encountered such a thing. The sooner he comes back, the more at ease you and your wife will feel."
"But that's not how it works, is it?" Director Jiao chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head. "My son was able to come back safely this time thanks to those amulets of yours. You're his savior. When he gets back, I'll have him come over to thank you in person. He's also a bit curious about you. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to have a meal together then?"
Ye Wanxi shook her head when she heard Director Jiao say that: "You bought that amulet. Your son should really thank you for making it useful. I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for us to have dinner together."
"If your son is really curious about me, you can bring him over to join the celebration after filming wraps up or when we finish filming this drama. I'm sure the rest of the crew won't mind if you bring an extra family member."
Ye Wanxi's words were not merely polite; they also stemmed from consideration for the identities of both parties.
After listening to Ye Wanxi's words, Director Jiao belatedly realized that his suggestion was too ill-considered.
Ye Wanxi is so popular right now. If I were to take my son to dinner with Ye Wanxi, and the media happened to take pictures of us, it could easily lead to rumors about us "meeting the parents".
You know, she has a proper boyfriend. If such a scandal were to break up, wouldn't it ruin their relationship? He can't do something so despicable!
"Since you've put it that way, I won't force you. Just bring him to the wrap party to thank you."
Director Jiao paused here, then said, "Um..."
"What?"
Director Jiao rubbed his hands together with a fawning expression: "Could you sell me a few more of those lucky charms?"
"...It's possible, but buying too much of this stuff might not be useful."
Director Jiao thought to himself, "Who cares if it's useful or not? Having such a life-saving charm is much safer than the Golden Bell Cover or Iron Shirt from martial arts novels. It would be foolish not to seize this opportunity to get close to them and buy them things!"
In this way, Ye Wanxi successfully obtained leave and also made some extra money for herself.
The next morning, Ye Wanxi boarded the car sent by Ning Anquan and set off for the Li family on time, but there was one more person accompanying her.
"You...don't have to go to work today?" Ye Wanxi looked at her senior brother sitting next to her, and really didn't understand why he would appear here at this time, and even prepare to go out with her.
"With Ah Shi around, nothing will happen."
Someone forced to work overtime: "..." It's bad enough that I'm being abused, but I'm also being exploited. I really want to quit!
Ye Wanxi still stared at him suspiciously. Feng Tianyu rolled his eyes guiltily, picked up the little rabbit he hadn't seen in a long time, and stuffed it into Ye Wanxi's arms.
"It misses you and is begging me to come find you."
The rabbit, forced to take the blame: "..."
When will this ever end? When will this ever end! You always use this weak, helpless, and pitiful little bunny as an excuse.
The key is to discard it after each use, and as soon as you achieve your goal, throw it as far away as possible to keep it away from your little owner.
To put it bluntly, isn't it just that they're afraid their little owner will love it too much and neglect them? It's a complete tool rabbit; this dog owner is truly a jerk!
Filled with resentment, the little rabbit buried its head in Ye Wanxi's arms, its little paws gripping Ye Wanxi's clothes tightly. It had already decided that this time it would never let this bastard separate it from its little master again.
Ye Wanxi took the fluffy little rabbit and skillfully petted it, but her eyes were still fixed on Feng Tianyu, clearly still not quite believing his explanation.
Feng Tianyu stared at her for a long time before finally giving in.
"Okay, I'll be honest. I know what you're going to do today. Things haven't been very peaceful in City A lately, and I'm worried about you going alone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi assumed that he was still shaken by the previous incident of the demon's self-destruction. She believed that Li Suizhi must have someone helping him, and that this person might be just like the demon.
Ye Wanxi felt a warmth in her heart, but said aloud, "You're making a mountain out of a molehill. With my current abilities, I can at least protect myself, if not win every time. Besides, I didn't go alone today; the special department also sent people, they just aren't operating together. In addition, there's the police..."
"There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Although those people in special departments have some background, they might not be able to handle things if things really get serious. By being with you, I can help you immediately if anything happens, instead of finding out everything afterward. I don't want to gamble on that one-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Ye Wanxi originally wanted to say something, but upon hearing the last sentence, she wisely shut her mouth.
Seeing this, Feng Tianyu didn't dwell on the topic any further. He took out something and handed it to Ye Wanxi: "A little gift for you."
"A gift?" Ye Wanxi's attention was instantly diverted. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a beautifully crafted little brocade pouch.
As soon as she held it in her hand, Ye Wanxi realized that it was not just a small brocade pouch, but also a storage bag with its own preservation effect.
Upon opening the bag, she discovered that the tiny brocade pouch, no bigger than her palm, contained five or six kinds of snacks, all of which were her favorites.
Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up immediately. She took out a small pastry from inside and took a bite: "Delicious."
After finishing, she shared with Feng Tianyu: "This snack tastes good, not too sweet or greasy, soft and delicious. Where did you buy it? I'll buy some for the crew another day."
“I didn’t buy it.”
"Not bought?"
"Yes, they were all made by my mom."
Ye Wanxi's hand holding the small pastries suddenly froze: "These, all of them, were made by Auntie?"
"Um."
When she had free time, Feng's mother liked to plant flowers and grass, but ever since she learned that Ye Wanxi liked to eat some delicate and delicious snacks, her leisure time routine decisively changed from growing flowers and grass to blowing up the kitchen.
After several failed attempts at baking in the oven, Feng's mother finally mastered the craft and started baking small pastries at home every day, encouraging him to use the opportunity of delivering pastries to cultivate a good relationship with his junior apprentice.
