Under the personal guidance of Ye Xiaofei, Ning Xiaoyu quickly mastered the use of her true qi.

“Oh god! Oh my god! This is amazing!”

When Ning Xiaoyu lifted a tea table weighing over a hundred catties with just one hand, she exclaimed in astonishment.

Ye Xiaofei smiled with satisfaction and praised, “Xiaoyu, your ability to comprehend is truly impressive. 1 think before you leave, I can teach you some practical techniques.”

Upon receiving his compliment, Ning Xiaoyu became even more ecstatic. She lightly shook Ye Xiaofei’s arm and said, “That’s because Xiaofei is such a great teacher!”

“Heh heh, well done with the flattery. Alright, practice well at home. 1 need to go out for a while.”

“Oh, are you coming back home tonight?”

“Not sure. If 1 don’t, I’ll let you know.”

Although Ning Xiaoyu was reluctant, she didn’t cling to Ye Xiaofei. She had just learned to control her true qi, and it felt like discovering a new and exciting toy. She wanted to play with it thoroughly.

After a while, the sound of the door opening resonated again. Ning Xiaoyu eagerly rushed to the door but was disappointed to find her mother had returned.

Auntie Ning gave Ning Xiaoyu a reproachful look and asked, “What? You’re disappointed to see it’s me who came back?”

“Of course not.” Ning Xiaoyu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Auntie Ning asked, “Did Xiaofei go out?”

“He left just a while ago.”

“Oh, that’s good. Xiaofei rarely stays overnight, and he can also stay at home for quite a while the next morning.”

Ning Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, it’s indeed rare.”

Auntie Ning narrowed her eyes and asked, “Didn’t you say Xiaofei didn’t come home last night?”

“Ah, well… I… Xiaofei is…”

Ning Xiaoyu suddenly panicked, unsure of how to answer.

Auntie Ning smiled faintly and said, “You’re already eighteen, an adult. You can make decisions about your own affairs, and Mom won’t interfere. However…”

Auntie Ning handed a box to Ning Xiaoyu and said, “However, it’s still necessary to pay attention to these matters.”

“What should I pay attention to?” Ning Xiaoyu took the box. At first, she didn’t realize what it was, but after taking a closer look, her hand suddenly loosened, and the box fell to the ground. Her face turned bright red, and she stammered, “Mom, why did you give me this?”

Auntie Ning picked up the box and placed it back into Ning Xiaoyu’s hands, saying, “Young people like you are prone to impulsive actions. You must take proper precautions. Besides, you’re still in college. What if you get pregnant?” “Pregnant? How could 1 get pregnant? Oh, Mom! What are you thinking!” Ning Xiaoyu finally understood her mother’s meaning and hurriedly explained it in a flustered manner.

Auntie Ning smiled gently and said, “I was young once too, and I understand the impulsiveness of youth. 1 also know you like Xiaofei, so as for the matters between you two, 1 don’t blame you.”

Ning Xiaoyu shook her head repeatedly and said, “No! Xiaofei and I haven’t done anything like that!”

“No?” Auntie Ning chuckled and said, “Did you think 1 didn’t notice anything when I went to your room last night? Xiaofei’s legs were exposed.”

“Oh!” Ning Xiaoyu exclaimed, immediately feeling embarrassed and wanting to find a hole to hide in.

Auntie Ning laughed heartily and said, “My daughter is growing up.”

Ning Xiaoyu was tongue-tied, wanting to explain but not knowing how to say it. She and Ye Xiaofei were already lying on the same bed. Who would believe that they hadn’t done anything?

Ning Xiaoyu stomped her foot in frustration and turned around, running back to her own room.

Since she didn’t have any other options, she could only hide.

The attention shifted to Ye Xiaofei, who was sitting in the car with Wang Dabao. Wang Dabao was reporting his work to him.

“Xiaofei, these are the properties that have been transferred to my name by the Li family in the past few days. There are three companies in total, with two of them being profitable and the other one being an entertainment company in the film and television industries. Many celebrities are signed with them; I’m sure you’ll love it.”

“An entertainment company! What a great place!” Ye Xiaofei exclaimed with excitement.

During high school, the topic students talked about the most was celebrities. Ye Xiaofei was no exception and had a certain longing for those stars.

“Hehe, I knew you would like it. However, we haven’t officially taken over that company yet. Once the formal handover is done in a couple of days, I’ll take you there, and we can show off in front of those celebrities together.”

“Definitely! Absolutely!” Ye Xiaofei chuckled and said, “The Li family handles things pretty well.”

Wang Dabao added, “It won’t take long for the accounts of these three companies to be sorted out. I’ll show them to you when they’re ready.”

“Why would I need to see them? I’m too lazy to look at your company’s accounts. As long as I can freely watch your company’s stars, that’s enough for me.”

Wang Dabao hurriedly said, “No, I took over this company for you.”

Ye Xiaofei gave Wang Dabao a disdainful glance and said, “What did you take over for me? I’m not interested in these small companies. If you want them, they’re yours.”

“Well… I… How could I gain without putting in any effort?”

Ye Xiaofei smirked and said, “Damn, I did it all to give you some practice. Why are you bothered about such insignificant things?”

“Practice…” Wang Dabao’s mouth twitched, then he burst into laughter and said, “You’re right. I am the future richest man in Ning City. How can 1 be so petty? F*ck..”
