Perhaps it was because Ding Zhi was the first man in black who was willing to rush in from outside to protect her the moment she spoke, or perhaps it was because he gave her a feeling of déjà vu.
"Big sister, you should know about the men in black..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Wenya's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of mockery.
“The men in black are not your private property; they are protecting the Mu family. Even if I am just a cripple, I am still a member of the Mu family. It's not unreasonable for me to want someone to be by my side. Or do you think I can't even have this small request?”
"That's not what I meant," Mu Nanxun said, lowering her head, unable to argue.
If Mu Wenya wanted any other man in black to protect her, he would agree without hesitation. But he just felt there was something wrong with Ding Zhi.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mu Wenya was harboring resentment and deliberately going against Mu Nanxun.
This was the first time the young lady had ever lost her temper with the young master.
So everyone held their breath, and no one dared to say another word.
Yi Yi originally wanted to try to persuade Mu Nanxun, but Li Ma across from her kept giving her subtle winks. So, she could only lower her head, eat quietly, and pretend she hadn't heard anything.
"So, can my request be fulfilled? All I want is Ding Zhi to be my bodyguard."
Mu Wenya asked again.
After a pause, Mu Nanxun nodded slightly, having no choice but to compromise.
"It's rare for my eldest sister to trust someone, so how can I, as her younger brother, refuse?"
As he spoke, Mu Nanxun kept his gaze fixed on Ding Zhi, trying to discern something from him. The other man stared back at him without blinking, showing no fear of his sharp gaze.
The men in black were specially trained and possessed a higher level of mental fortitude than the average person. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that they could look Mu Nanxun directly in the eye, but…
“Ding Zhi,” Mu Nanxun said calmly, “Since Miss trusts you so much and insists on having you as her bodyguard, from now on you don’t have to obey anyone else’s orders, including mine. You only need to obey Miss’s orders and protect her. If anything happens to Miss, I will hold you responsible.”
"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, young master, I will protect Miss closely and ensure she is not harmed in any way."
"That would be best."
Hearing Mu Nanxun say this, Mu Wenya regained her usual gentleness and smiled, "Then it's settled. Ding Zhi, come behind me."
"Yes, Miss."
Ding Zhi respectfully retreated behind Mu Wenya, a smile playing on his lips.
Mu Nanxun didn't say anything more, and strode towards the place where the commercial vehicles were parked outside the courtyard.
Yi finished her food in a few bites, picked up a thick book, and hurriedly said goodbye to the rest of the people.
"Sister Wenya, Aunt Li, I'm going to work now, see you later!"
"Um."
Mu Wenya smiled and nodded at her.
As soon as she got in the car, Yi Yi noticed the unusually oppressive atmosphere inside; even the air felt cold.
Xiao Fang drove quietly ahead, no longer daring to joke around or say anything irrelevant as he used to.
Anyone could see that Mu Nanxun was... angry.
In Yi Yi's opinion, this was a very minor matter; Mu Wenya simply wanted to keep a bodyguard by her side, which was no big deal. Therefore, she didn't understand why Mu Nanxun was so angry.
But since he's angry, we should still try to appease him.
