Ling Jiao maintained her composure throughout, smiled gently, and said, "I understand. Miss Song, you have very good friends. I know your friends helped you last time, and your friendship is truly enviable."
“However, I can also guarantee that what I asked Miss Song to do will not threaten her safety.” Ling Jiao said, taking a photo out of her pocket and handing it to Song Mian.
After Song Mian took the photo, she discovered that it showed a teenager.
The boy looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with fair skin and handsome features. Even though he hadn't fully grown up yet, it was easy to tell that he would definitely grow up to be a rare and handsome man.
The boy stood in front of the pure white wall and took a photo. His aura was aloof and untouched by worldly dust, so calm that he seemed unreal. In particular, his expressionless face revealed a distant and indifferent feeling that kept people at a distance.
Although she was only holding a photograph, Song Mian could still clearly sense the other person's aloof demeanor.
This was the first time Song Mian had seen someone with such a unique aura, so she couldn't help but take a closer look.
"This is the person I want you to help with this time. His name is Yu Bai, and he's practically my adopted son. He's never been very good at interacting with people. So, I hope you can help me spend some time with him and take him out more often," Ling Jiao said.
"Is it enough to just take him out for a walk?" Song Mian had originally thought that Ling Jiao had come to her because she had something crucial to tell her.
Unexpectedly, all Ling Jiao wanted to say to him after all that effort was this.
“Yes. As long as he is willing to have more contact with the outside world, that’s enough. I don’t have any other requirements for my adopted son.” Ling Jiao took a sip of tea and continued, “However, this child is a bit stubborn, so I hope Miss Song can be more tolerant. If he really does something disobedient, Miss Song can take action whenever necessary.”
Seeing Ling Jiao's serious expression, Song Mian looked at the handsome young man in the photo again and suddenly felt that the other party had become troublesome.
After thinking for a moment, Song Mian and Qi Yefeng agreed to Ling Jiao's request to make contact with Yu Bai first. They quickly arrived at the luxury apartment where Yu Bai lived, following the address provided by Ling Jiao.
The next morning, Song Mian went directly to the luxury apartment where Yu Bai was staying.
Just as Song Mian got out of the taxi, she received a call from Qi Yefeng.
Qi Yefeng's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with guilt as he immediately apologized to Song Mian: "I'm sorry, Miss Song, my company is really too busy. Why don't you wait for me, I'll go with you to see Yu Bai..."
Seeing that Qi Yefeng was serious, Song Mian smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Qi, there's no need for such trouble. I've already arrived at Yu Bai's place, and I'll go upstairs to see him now."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yefeng realized that he couldn't stop Song Mian. After hesitating for a while, he said to Song Mian, "Alright then, Miss Song, please call me immediately if you need any help."
Song Mian readily agreed to Qi Yefeng's request, and then went to Yu Bai's residence with practiced ease.
Just like last time, Song Mian rang the doorbell first. After waiting for a while, she watched as the tightly closed door opened.
Yu Bai, dressed in a snow-white nightgown, walked out of the door.
Song Mian felt that Yu Bai's aura was as consistent as ever. He looked at Song Mian with calm eyes, but there seemed to be a different emotion in his eyes.
Song Mian has met many people, and she can tell whether a person has malice towards her just by looking at their eyes and the aura they exude.
Therefore, Song Mian quickly sensed that Yu Bai's attitude towards her was not as sharp as before. Although it was still not friendly, this probing attitude was much better than before.
Song Mian mustered all her energy and gave Yu Bai a radiant smile: "Good morning, Mr. Yu Bai."
Yu Bai looked at Song Mian with a complicated expression, as if he hesitated for a moment before replying, "Good morning, Miss Song."
"I'm so sorry that my friend and I came so abruptly yesterday, without giving you any time to prepare. I hope you don't mind." Song Mian said, handing the fruit she had brought to Yu Bai. "After I went back yesterday, I felt really bad for you, so I came here early today to apologize!"
Holding the fruit given to him by Song Mian, Yu Bai looked somewhat at a loss: "No, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. Yesterday, Ling's father called and told me the whole story, and I realized that I had misunderstood you... In short, everything that happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. Since you are the nanny that Ling's father hired for me, you are indeed qualified to enter my home."
Song Mian's smile vanished abruptly. She pondered the name Yu Bai repeatedly, a hint of disbelief flickering in her eyes: "Excuse me, may I ask what you call me?"
A nanny? When did she become this young master's nanny?
Unlike Song Mian's surprised expression, Yu Bai looked at Song Mian with some doubt and asked, "I've never liked people entering my room, but I've also never liked doing housework. That's why Mr. Ling said he'd find me a housekeeper to clean my room and cook for me... Miss Song, are you not the housekeeper Mr. Ling found for me?"
Song Mian really wanted to say that she wasn't!
Wasn't she supposed to be Yu Bai's friend?
If we're talking about nannies, that's a different price altogether!
However, Song Mian could not tell the truth under these circumstances.
Because she could already sense Yu Bai's wariness, she was certain that if she said now that she wasn't someone Mr. Ling had invited, Yu Bai would immediately close the door and refuse her entry!
She didn't want to be turned away!
So, no matter how unwilling Song Mian was, she still forced a bright smile and said to Yu Bai, "Yes. It's just that I initially wanted to get along well with you, Mr. Yu Bai, and Mr. Ling initially told me not to tell you that I was a nanny, so that you wouldn't resist me, so I... Anyway, it was all a misunderstanding."
Seeing Yu Bai nod, Song Mian smiled brightly, but she already had other plans in mind.
Ling Jiao hadn't made these things clear at the beginning. This was considered extra work for her, so she would definitely have to get some extra compensation later!
Once everything was verified, Yu Bai completely lost his last bit of wariness towards Song Mian and immediately invited her inside.
Song Mian only realized that what Yu Bai said was indeed true after she entered Yu Bai's apartment.
Yu Bai's room can only be described as messy and disorganized.
The floor and sofa were cluttered with all sorts of random things, in such a chaotic and disorganized manner that it felt like there was nowhere to put your feet.
After confirming Song Mian's identity, Yu Bai, though still smiling, spoke in a less gentle tone: "Song Mian, I'll leave the rest to you. Also, I'd like to ask what kind of dishes you're particularly good at?"
