Xu Zhaoyue sensed the tension in the air; it really suited their current topic of conversation. Seeing that Yue Lanxing was avoiding her gaze, she simply reached out and turned his shoulder towards her. "Why are you avoiding me?"
When her hand touched Yue Lanxing's shoulder, Yue Lanxing instinctively turned around and backed away, but she only took one step back before remembering that she was no longer allergic to the young lady.
Xu Zhaoyue watched his movements, her hand still frozen in place. After exchanging glances with the young lady for a moment, Yue Lanxing took another step forward to the previous spot, shifted his left shoulder slightly, and used his shoulder to lift the young lady's hand, which was still suspended in mid-air, back up.
Xu Zhaoyue then placed her hand on the ground. "It seems you know exactly what I'm going to do. You're quite clever. Since you're so smart, I can grant you one wish."
"Can I have any wish?" Yue Lanxing's expression was full of anticipation, and even her tone became much more cheerful.
Xu Zhaoyue tapped her fingers on his shoulder, a smile playing on her lips, seemingly anticipating Yue Lanxing's next wish. "Well, as long as it's within my power."
"Then... I want Miss to ask me to accompany her before doing anything dangerous." Yue Lanxing's sincere eyes sparkled in front of Xu Zhaoyue. "Ah? What kind of wish is that?" Xu Zhaoyue withdrew her hand. She didn't expect Yue Lanxing to say something like that after acting so happy just now.
Yue Lanxing touched his left shoulder with his right hand. The weight that the young lady had placed on his shoulder was very light, but it touched his heart. "Before... before, I didn't dare to get close to the young lady because I was afraid that if I suddenly had an allergic reaction in a crisis, I would not only not be able to help the young lady, but would also become a burden."
"But after I found out last time that I could have contact with the young lady, I'm no longer afraid of that problem. If there is any danger in the future, I hope to be the person closest to the young lady so that I can protect her."
Yue Lanxing looked at Xu Zhaoyue and said these words with such sincerity, which made Xu Zhaoyue's heart pound. Was this really a wish?
"Yes, you're my butler and bodyguard. If you don't protect me, who will? If I ever have to do something important in the future, I'll definitely take you with me. I think it's about time, let's go back to the villa." Xu Zhaoyue said this and prepared to go back; she couldn't continue the conversation.
"Okay, I'm relieved that Miss has agreed." Yue Lanxing happily returned to the villa with Xu Zhaoyue.
However, while Xu Zhaoyue was washing up, Yue Lanxing went out to find Li Qi again.
"Xiao Nan, do you think Yue Lanxing likes me?" Xu Zhaoyue figured out her own feelings in the office today. What Yue Lanxing said just now could be considered a confession. Does this mean they are mutually in love?
"Tch, Miss, you make it sound like I talk to Butler Yue a lot. Even if we met face to face at home, he wouldn't speak to me first," Xiao Nan said with some disdain.
After saying that, he felt that he hadn't answered the young lady's question, so he added, "However, judging from how Butler Yue treats others, his attitude towards the young lady is the best. But the young lady is the young lady, so it's only right to treat her well!"
"Besides, I've talked to Yue Xuanxuan quite a bit these past two days, and I've found that their family seems to be better off than I imagined. But even with Butler Yue's family background, they're still far behind Miss Yue."
Xiao Nan said all this simply to say that Yue Lanxing was not good enough for Xu Zhaoyue, while Xu Zhaoyue focused on what Xiao Nan said about her talking a lot with Yue Xuanxuan.
"Hey, what did you talk about with Yue Xuanxuan?"
"Oh, I just saw that Yue Lanxing is interested in you, Miss, so I went to find out what's going on."
Xiao Nan realized she had blurted out the truth and coughed a few times, feeling very uncomfortable. "Cough cough cough, I was just chatting casually. She's probably quite bored in the villa. Luckily, she'll be going to school soon."
"Hmm? Don't change the subject! Tell me what you found out!" Xu Zhaoyue tugged at Xiaonan's arm, telling her to stop combing her hair. "Let's sit on the sofa, and you can tell me slowly."
So Xiao Nan was pulled to the sofa by Xu Zhaoyue. Xu Zhaoyue looked on with anticipation. She really didn't expect Xiao Nan to think of trying to get information out of her. She wondered how much useful information she could get out of her, and maybe she had already been found out.
"Oh, Miss! I just went to chat with her and asked about her family situation..." Most of what Xiao Nan said was about her family situation, which Xu Zhaoyue already knew, but there were still some discrepancies.
"You said their family moved to Shanghai for medical treatment because Yue Lanxing's mother was sick?" Xu Zhaoyue knew that Yue Xuanxuan was using a carefully prepared script for Xiaonan.
However, Xiao Nan was unaware of the truth, so she still felt sorry for Butler Yue. "Alas, if you ask me, if it weren't for this reason, Yue Lanxing wouldn't have become a bodyguard. But Miss, you have a discerning eye. Letting him become a butler is not a waste of talent."
"But, but, Miss, you mustn't end up like Miss Chen. That man was a reporter, and even cultured people betray their promises, let alone uncultured ones." Xiao Nan was indignant, and Xu Zhaoyue felt like she was cursing everyone.
"Okay, okay, if being educated or not doesn't prevent someone from breaking their promise, then how many good people are left? By the way, when I was chatting with Xiaoyun, she said it had been resolved, and then I didn't ask any further questions. Is there any follow-up news?"
Xu Zhaoyue had come to the right person. Xiao Nan smiled mysteriously. Her friends were all well-informed. "Yes, Chen Fei had Zhang Pei kicked out of Shanghai, and he's definitely going to get a beating. He'll be in big trouble."
