Wei Jin did not ask Mu Feng to slow down, so Mu Feng maintained the speed. After driving for a long time, they finally arrived at the small courtyard of a farmer in the suburbs.
Just as the car arrived at its destination, Mu Feng’s phone rang.
“Hey, Miss Xia, don’t worry. I won’t do anything to your sister.”
It was unknown what Xia Wanyuan said, but Mu Feng nodded in response, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then, he hung up the phone. Sensing Wei Jin’s gaze, Mu Feng raised an eyebrow at her. “Yo, Miss Wei, you know how to snitch?”
“…” Facing Mu Feng’s mouth, the eloquent Wei Jin was always speechless.
“I guess you haven’t eaten these before.” Mu Feng brought Wei Jin into the courtyard. There was a bonfire inside, and a string of barbecue items had been prepared.
Wei Jin glanced curiously at the things in the courtyard and tried her best to maintain her calm expression. However, the light from the corners of her eyes still betrayed her. She had indeed never eaten these before. Wei Jin glanced at Mu Feng. She did not expect Mu Feng to be so meticulous.
Mu Feng raised his eyebrows at her smugly. He felt that his investigation fee of hundreds of thousands of yuan was not wasted.
He hired someone to investigate Wei Jin’s history and daily preferences.
Then, he realized that this person’s life could be described as a “health benchmark”.
Ever since she was young, she had lived according to the standards set by the Wei family. She had never crossed the line and never had her own preferences. The food she ate strictly followed the various combinations of nutritionists. She had not even drunk beverages since she was young.
Thinking of this, Mu Feng could not help but ask curiously, “Have you drunk Coke before?”
Receiving Wei Jin’s puzzled gaze, Mu Feng gave her a thumbs up. “Impressive.”
For the rest of the meal, Wei Jin did not eat in peace. However, to her surprise, Mu Feng did not cross the line again. He accompanied her to eat the barbecue obediently and drove her back to Qing University.
Even when they parted ways at the end, Mu Feng was not as glib as Wei Jin had imagined. He only smiled and waved at her. “Goodnight, Teacher Wei.”
Wei Jin took a few steps into the house and suddenly turned around. Mu Feng had not left. He leaned against the car door and his silver hair fluttered. Seeing Wei Jin look over, Mu Feng waved at her.
Wei Jin panicked for no reason. She turned around and did not look back.
The car outside the courtyard only started when the lights in Wei Jin’s room lit up. In the quiet night, it inexplicably tugged at one’s heartstrings.
——
In the manor, Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Although she felt that Mu Feng was not an unreliable person, she was still a little worried that she had misjudged and harmed Wei Jin. Hence, she hooked Jun Shiling with her foot.
Jun Shiling was originally teaching Xiao Bao a lesson for stealing candy. When he sensed the movement, he temporarily let Xiao Bao go.
Xiao Bao took the opportunity. “Aiya, I’m so tired. Goodnight, Daddy, Mommy. Goodnight, Uncle, Auntie! I’m going to sleep!” Then, Xiao Bao slipped upstairs from the living room without waiting for Jun Shiling’s response.
“Hmph, you just spoil him.” Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan and walked over. “Why are you looking for me? Don’t you have your cat to accompany you?”
“How sour.” Xia Wanyuan smiled and held Jun Shiling’s hand. “Mu Feng is with Wei Jin. Will Wei Jin be safe?”
“Move that cat away from your lap and I’ll tell you.” Jun Shiling disliked this cat very much.
“…” Xia Wanyuan carried the cat into Jun Shiling’s arms. “Hold it properly. You’re not allowed to let it go. Tell me.”
“…” Jun Shiling and the kitten looked at each other. “She’s safe. Don’t worry, the person Old Master Mu personally brought up is not bad.”
“Alright.” Xia Wanyuan was relieved.
It was already late and Bo Xiao and An Rao were preparing to go back. During dinner, An Rao had drunk a lot of fruit wine. At this moment, she was drunk. She greeted Xia Wanyuan in a daze and was stuffed into the car by Bo Xiao.
“So heavy.” Finally reaching home, Bo Xiao carried An Rao steadily upstairs. Seeing her satisfied expression, he could not help but despise her.
“Nonsense, how am I heavy? Other than my chest, everything else is very light, okay?” An Rao was very unconvinced.
Bo Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry at her words. He placed her on the bed and tucked An Rao’s hair behind her ear. However, he kissed her pink and red face. “Sleep, lazy pig. You clearly went down after one cup, but you insisted that you won’t get drunk after a thousand cups.”
Covering An Rao with the blanket, Bo Xiao stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom to shower and wipe the drunkard on the bed. Unexpectedly, just as he took a step out, his arm was grabbed by An Rao on the bed.
“You’re not allowed to leave. We’re engaged. You should sleep with me.”
