Fortunately, it was only a dozen or so steps away.
Tang Yue put her in the back seat and fastened her seatbelt: "If I'm not back by ten o'clock, go to sleep first, don't wait for me."
One sat and the other stood. As they spoke, he leaned forward, his lowered eyes filled with tender starlight, gazing at her intently, with a hint of doting affection.
Yu Wan hesitated for a moment, tilted her head slightly, raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you believe that even with this injured leg, I can still kick you flying?"
Tang Yue suddenly lowered his eyes, as if he was a little disappointed, or as if he was afraid that she would continue to be angry.
"I believe you, of course I believe you, you're amazing." He tugged at the corner of his lips, his expression somewhat sad: "I'm just afraid that I might not do something right and not be able to take good care of you."
"..." For a fleeting moment, Yu Wan felt like she was a complete scumbag.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Tang Yue's expression instantly returned to its usual gentle and calm demeanor. He stood up, turned to Meng Shen, and said, "Call me directly if you need anything. If I don't answer, call Zhiji."
“Hey kid, come here. Let’s exchange contact information. You can call me Brother Guan from now on.” Guan Zhiji, with a cigarette still dangling from his mouth, deftly took out his phone and opened WeChat: “Add me as a friend first, and I’ll send you my phone number.”
Meng Shen immediately sensed that Guan Zhiji was a sinister and dangerous person, but he still naturally scanned the QR code to add him on WeChat. Less than three seconds after the request was accepted, a name and an 11-digit number appeared in the chat box.
He silently recited in his mind: Guan Zhi Ji.
The surname is Guan? Guan!!!
That's...
"The little boy's name is Meng Shen, right?" Guan Zhiji curled up his lips with a lazy smile: "'Shen' in 'deep affection and civilized, vigorous spirit and divine transformation', it's a nice name."
"..." The character "深" has so many meanings, yet it chose the interpretation of "deeply in love," which almost drove Meng Shen crazy on the spot.
Damn, isn't this his old way of picking up girls?
So, he was just flirted with by a man, right?
Tang Yue gave Guan Zhiji a slightly warning glance.
"Sorry, it's a habit." Guan Zhiji's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly raised his hand to apologize: "Little friend, please don't take it to heart."
Meng Shen chuckled twice and squeezed out two dry words: "It's nothing."
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, and a moment of silence ensued.
Guan Zhiji cautiously glanced at Tang Yue's expression.
Tang Yue narrowed his eyes and said in a calm voice, "This is the last time."
"call!"
Guan Zhiji breathed a exaggerated sigh of relief and said with a grin, "There will definitely be no next time."
Meng Shen was filled with doubt at the sight of her still-frightened expression.
Just then, a young police officer jogged over and said, "Mr. Tang, our chief would like to see you."
Tang Yue glanced at Yu Wan before following him away.
-
The car drove out of the street intersection.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets were empty and deserted.
Guan Zhiji opened the cigarette pack with one hand, and just as he pulled out half a cigarette, he suddenly remembered Tang Yue's instructions and put it back in his pocket. He then found a box of lollipops in the car and handed it to the back of the car: "Want some?"
Yu Wan glanced up at her phone, then looked down again, politely declining, "No need, thank you."
The little girl was quite cold, with a rebellious and unruly air about her.
Guan Zhiji thought to himself: Where did Tang Yue find his wife? Her divine looks and her flamboyant and charming personality are absolutely stunning.
It's just a pity...
Because Guan Zhiji was smoking heavily, the car was filled with the smell of tobacco, which made Meng Shen's nicotine craving kick in. He also put a lollipop in his mouth, and one cheek puffed out, making him look indescribably cute.
He asked vaguely, "Brother Guan, why are you so afraid of Master Yue?"
Guan Zhiji had initially glanced at him politely in the rearview mirror, but his pupils suddenly contracted for a moment. He cursed under his breath and pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth. After a long while, he replied, "What a joke! Which of the young men in the compound isn't afraid of him? Now, outside, everyone respectfully calls him Master Yue."
This sentence contains a lot of information.
Yu Wan turned off her phone screen and looked up with interest.
"Why?" Meng Shen asked in confusion. "Does the Tang family also hold a high position in the capital?" People from other circles don't have an easy way to break into them.
“Of course not,” Guan Zhiji laughed. “Tang Yue’s mother works for the National Peking Opera Company. The name the public knows is just a stage name; her real identity is the daughter of the Shen family. In fact, the president of Jiang University is his maternal grandfather’s brother. Although the Shen family retired ten years ago, their influence and status are still considerable and should not be underestimated. Tang Yue’s identity is very well hidden, and only a few people know about it. The reason others are afraid of him is because of the case seven years ago.”
Yu Wan and Meng Shen were both stunned, never expecting Tang Yue's background to be so powerful.
"What case?" Yu Wan frowned slightly.
Guan Zhiji shrugged: "I dare not say, there was a higher-level order. In short, you just need to know that Tang Yue is doing things for the country."
After a moment of silence, Yu Wan narrowed her eyes: "What exactly do you want to say to me?"
"Smart, Miss Yu is a smart person." Guan Zhiji gave her a thumbs up and looked at her through the rearview mirror: "The major families in the capital have been fighting fiercely these past few years. If Miss Yu wants to continue being with Master Yue, she should be prepared to get involved. But to be honest, with your current background and strength, you will only be a burden to him. Miss Yu needs to become stronger as soon as possible."
"What do you mean?" Before Yu Wan could speak, Meng Shen shouted angrily, "Are you saying that Wanwan is not good enough for Tang Yue? What a load of bull! It's clearly Tang Yue who's clinging to Wanwan. If you're so capable, why don't you make Tang Yue let go?"
Guan Zhiji's smile remained unchanged: "Tang Yue's choice of whom is not his own business, so Miss Yu, please don't blame me for speaking harshly."
"you……"
Yu Wan held Meng Shen's hand, her restlessness barely concealed, and curled her lips into a smile: "Mr. Guan is truly loyal and dedicated."
Isn't this just a roundabout way of calling him a dog?
Guan Zhiji chuckled helplessly and stepped on the brakes: "We're here."
-
The car was parked in front of a courtyard house.
Upon hearing the horn, Rong Yun pulled open the door and hurried out.
Seeing the girl standing in front of the car, he immediately smiled and his eyes crinkled: "Wanwan, you're finally here. It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
"Teacher Rong, I'm afraid Meng Shen and I will be bothering you these next few days." Yu Wan smiled apologetically.
"What's there to bother you about? I just read the first draft of the proposal you gave me, and I was wondering how to talk to you about it." Rong Yun was itching to grab her and take her to the study right now.
Yu Wan: "..." No, I refuse. We won't talk about studying during the Spring Festival.
"Teacher Rong, Wanwan has injured her leg. Let me help her inside to rest first." Meng Shen smoothed things over, saying, "It's the same as discussing the project proposal with you after she recovers."
He winked at Yu Wan, "See? Your brother is still the best to you."
