For these reasons, Qu Shuangyue found Ye Junfei more and more pleasing to the eye, but she felt that he looked thin and weak and was afraid that he would not be able to protect Lin Xiuyan.
So she patted Ye Junfei's shoulder with a bit of force, wanting to see how much force he could withstand.
Ye Junfei, however, acted as if nothing had happened and said gently, "Madam Lin, you're too kind."
“I am Miss Lin’s tutor. When we went to Qizhen Garden that day, Master Lin asked me to take good care of Miss Lin. I was just doing my duty.”
Qu Shuangyue was somewhat surprised to see that Ye Junfei had no reaction at all: Could it be that he just looks thin but is actually very strong?
Qu Shuangyue then patted Ye Junfei harder, saying, "No matter what, you did a great job! You're awesome!"
She used half her strength this time, but Ye Junfei remained as upright as a pine tree, without swaying at all.
She thought to herself, "This kid is actually quite capable; it's really surprising."
Ye Junfei seemed completely oblivious to Qu Shuangyue's probing, and said with a smile, "You flatter me, Madam."
Qu Shuangyue patted Ye Junfei's shoulder again and said, "I'm telling the truth, Xiao Ye. Do a good job in the manor, and we won't treat you unfairly."
She used seven-tenths of her strength this time, but Ye Junfei remained unmoved.
He said politely, "Don't worry, Madam Lin, I will do my best to fulfill my duties."
Qu Shuangyue felt that something was amiss, and raised her hand to pat Ye Junfei again.
Lin Xiuyan quickly stopped her: "Mother, Master Ye is very capable, so you can rest assured!"
She knew Qu Shuangyue's personality all too well. Just now, Qu Shuangyue patted Ye Junfei's shoulder so hard that it made her heart skip a beat.
She was worried that if Qu Shuangyue continued filming, she would anger Ye Junfei, who would then draw his sword and chop Qu Shuangyue to pieces.
If it turns out to be a case of trying and dying, then we'll be in big trouble!
Ye Junfei smiled and looked at Lin Xiuyan, saying, "Miss Lin is right."
Qu Shuangyue wanted to test Ye Junfei's martial arts skills, but she knew that it would be impolite to continue testing them.
She then looked Ye Junfei up and down, and saw that Ye Junfei was as handsome as an immortal, with a red mole at the corner of his eye that exuded charm.
The key point is his refined demeanor; he exudes the air of a cultured and humble gentleman.
Her eyes immediately lit up.
When she was young, she liked men who looked refined and gentle but were fierce and ruthless when they fought.
The current Ye Junfei is entirely based on her aesthetic sense.
She likes it very much!
It would be great if he were her son-in-law.
So Qu Shuangyue asked with a smile, "Xiao Ye, are you married?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She was careless; she forgot that her mother was a sucker for good looks!
With Ye Junfei's god-like appearance, it would be strange if her mother didn't like him!
She quickly said, "Mother, this is Young Master Ye's private matter. Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask such a question?"
Qu Shuangyue said matter-of-factly, "Since Xiaoye has come to the manor to be your etiquette tutor, she is one of us."
"It's not impolite for someone from our own circle to ask about this, Xiaoye, don't you think?"
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Madam Lin is right."
He glanced at Lin Xiuyan and said, "I lost my father at a young age, and my uncles and elders in the clan don't really care about my affairs."
“I studied abroad when I was young, and no elders arranged my marriage, so I am still not engaged.”
Qu Shuangyue's eyes immediately brightened, but she said, "Is that so? Then your background is a bit pitiful."
"But it's alright. If you don't mind, you can live at the Lin residence from now on, and I'll arrange a marriage for you then."
Ye Junfei bowed to Qu Shuangyue and said, "Then I will trouble Madam Lin."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She felt that Qu Shuangyue's hints were too obvious!
Ye Junfei is someone who loves to watch the drama unfold!
She said from the side, "Mother, Young Master Ye has elders in his family. It's none of your business to worry about his marriage."
Qu Shuangyue ignored her and asked Ye Junfei with a smile, "I wonder what kind of woman Young Master Ye likes?"
Is she gentle and considerate? Or cute and spoiled? Or perhaps straightforward and intelligent?
Ye Junfei's lips curled slightly as he turned to look at Lin Xiuyan: "I trust Madam's judgment. Anything Madam deems good, I'm willing to accept."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She truly never expected Ye Junfei to say such a thing!
Qu Shuangyue was overjoyed to hear Ye Junfei's words!
He's good-looking, has a good personality, and a sweet tongue—he's practically the perfect son-in-law!
She laughed heartily: "You're such a likable junior! Don't worry! I'll definitely find you a beautiful wife!"
Lin Xiuyan chimed in from the side: "Mother..."
Qu Shuangyue pushed her away: "Adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
So it turns out she was just superfluous?
Ye Junfei glanced at Lin Xiuyan with amusement and said politely, "In that case, I will thank you in advance, Madam."
Qu Shuangyue smiled broadly: "You're welcome. As long as you don't mind me meddling."
Ye Junfei said gently, "I have never had any elders to take care of me since I was a child, and I have always hoped that someone could take care of these things for me."
"It's rare to meet someone as warm-hearted as you these days; I couldn't be happier."
The two chatted happily, finding each other agreeable, yet each harboring their own secret thoughts.
So they showered the other person with compliments as if they were free.
Lin Xiuyan tried to interject several times, but couldn't get a single word in.
When she tried to force it in, Qu Shuangyue shooed her away, telling her to go play somewhere else.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She's going crazy!
After thinking about it, she felt that things couldn't continue like this, so she called Lin Yunzhi over.
Lin Yunzhi saw Qu Shuangyue and Ye Junfei chatting very congenially, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The moon hadn't smiled at him like that in a long time!
Although he knew that Qu Shuangyue and Ye Junfei wouldn't have anything going on, it didn't stop him from feeling unhappy.
So he said with a smile, "It's time to learn etiquette again, Xiao Ye, take Yan'er to learn etiquette."
Ye Junfei sensed Lin Yunzhi's hostility. He wanted to laugh, but he also felt that their relationship was too rare.
He has seen all kinds of couples who are only superficially compatible, and he has witnessed far too much scheming between husband and wife.
Seeing them like this, he felt a pang of longing, wondering if he could find someone who truly cared for him in his lifetime.
He glanced at Lin Xiuyan, who seemed preoccupied.
He asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xiuyan said somewhat embarrassedly, "My mother doesn't know her own strength. Didn't she hurt you?"
"In your heart, am I that weak?" Ye Junfei asked instead of answering.
Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "Of course not, I'm just worried you'll get hurt."
Ye Junfei became somewhat interested: "You're concerned about me?"
