Leng Yexi leaned back in his chair and looked at Shang Ning, "Researching that thing just for romance? Can it put food on the table?"
Shang Ning frowned, as if she was thinking about this very seriously. "President Leng, you're saying that if I were to be romantic once, Jin Yining would remember it for a lifetime? Wouldn't I be pampered by him for the rest of my life? Wouldn't I have food to eat for the rest of my life?"
Leng Yexi: "..."
"Can't you and that kid learn something good?"
Shang Ning smiled but didn't reply.
“I came to see you this time because you know that Jin Yining and I don’t belong to the same system. In other words, even if I am his master, there are times when I cannot help him. This is the rule. Without rules, there can be no order. No matter where you are, there must be such rules. When we get to this point, we have neither great good nor great evil in our hearts. Especially Jin Yining, he does both saving people and killing people.”
Shang Ning ran her tongue around her gums, but didn't open her mouth.
"My value lies in preventing tragedies before they happen, but the world is so vast that even if I were to be in two places at once, I couldn't possibly prevent everything. In fact, I can only prevent so much. So, the rest is up to Jin Yining. Due to the principle of balance, I have no right to give him any information."
"so what?"
“Space base port privileges,” Leng Yexi said, enunciating each word clearly.
Shang Ning blinked and took a moment to process what she was seeing.
"The privilege of using the Sky Eye at will."
"Hiss..." Shang Ning gasped, feeling that Leng Yexi's backdoor was rather blatant. "I, I am Jin Yining's wife," Shang Ning reminded him.
"Everyone knows I am his master. Of course, this 'everyone knows' is not the kind of 'everyone knows' that can be seen with eyes, but nobody knows who Snow Wolf's wife is, or even that Snow Wolf has a wife."
Shang Ning: "..."
"Um, if others know that you're so biased towards your apprentice?"
Jin Yining must be God's favorite son, how come there are so many people cleaning up after him even though he's just a snow wolf?
"By joining this program, you will have the right to obtain port access, and you will be able to pave the way for him on your own in the future."
"No, Mr. Leng, I have a question for you. What's so good about Jin Yining that all of you big shots treat him like a precious treasure?"
"She's good-looking."
Shang Ning: "..."
The big shots have no more desires in life, so they all like good-looking kids.
sharp!
"But Mr. Leng, I think you might be overestimating me. I might not really be that capable..."
"I'm just giving you a chance."
Shang Ning swallowed his words, thought about it and understood: what the other person meant was: I'm just giving you a reason to protect my disciple openly and legitimately.
These days, good looks really do matter.
I can't go on living like this.
"President Leng, let's be frank. Jin Yining is very important to you, right? What do you mean by good looks? I'm not a three-year-old. You all treat him like a god just because he's good-looking."
Have you ever seen your ancestors kneel before you?
Shang Ning was rebuked again for the incident where Jin Yining knelt in front of his door for several days to save her. Thinking about it, it made sense, but Shang Ning still felt something was off. At least it was wrong for so many big shots to dote on Jin Yining like that.
"President Leng, scientific inquiry must always maintain a spirit of skepticism." Shang Ning finally managed to say something after holding it in for a long time.
Do you think I would harm him?
