Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The next morning, a little after five o’clock, Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu set off.
Auntie Ning didn’t accompany them; she said she had some things to attend to. Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu understood that she simply didn’t want to disturb them and wanted to give more time to the young couple.
Ye Xiaofei didn’t drive his Lamborghini to take her; instead, he had Meng Zhijing bring a business car.
“Is she coming too?” Ning Xiaoyu pulled Ye Xiaofei aside, pouting.
“Yes, she’ll be driving, and it will be more comfortable for both of us,” Ye Xiaofei replied.
“She’s coming to be our driver?” Ning Xiaoyu looked skeptical.
“Yes, and when you have something to do at school and can’t make it, you can ask her for help,” Ye Xiaofei explained.
Watching Meng Zhijing carry her luggage and load it into the car, Ning Xiaoyu felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Xiaofei, you should help her.”
Meng Zhijing quickly refused, “No need! I can handle it myself. How could I let Mr. Ye do such things?”
Ye Xiaofei didn’t offer to help either, leaving the physical work to Meng Zhijing, despite her being a beautiful woman.
Ning Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Ye Xiaofei and said, “You’re really clueless. How can you let such a beautiful woman do the heavy lifting without feeling sorry for her?”
“What’s there to feel sorry about? This kind of work won’t tire her out,” Ye Xiaofei replied nonchalantly.
Ning Xiaoyu’s perception of Ye Xiaofei’s attitude brought her and Meng Zhijing closer. At least Ning Xiaoyu understood that Meng Zhijing couldn’t be Ye Xiaofei’s girlfriend; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so indifferent to her.
Meng Zhijing was meticulous in her actions and even prepared food and drinks for them, including some snacks that girls liked and some washed fruits.
When Ning Xiaoyu got into the car, Meng Zhijing asked, “Miss Xiaoyu, if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, just let me know, and I’ll take care of it immediately.”
Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly said, “No, no! Thank you so much, sister.”
Meng Zhijing replied, “It’s no trouble. I’m honored to be able to help Miss Xiaoyu.”
Ning Xiaoyu said, “Sister, please don’t say that. 1 feel bad for troubling you.”
Meng Zhijing smiled and then went straight to driving.
During the journey, Ning Xiaoyu finally understood the relationship between Ye Xiaofei and Meng Zhijing.
It seemed that Ye Xiaofei treated Meng Zhijing like a servant. Whenever he needed something done, he would call on her directly and enjoy her service as if it were only natural.
This apparent lack of respect towards Meng Zhijing made Ning Xiaoyu wonder why she was so loyal and willing to serve him without any complaints.
Ning Xiaoyu suddenly felt that Ye Xiaofei was mysterious. What had he done to earn such loyalty from Meng Zhijing?
Because of this, she felt that her position in Ye Xiaofei’s heart was special, which made her genuinely happy.
At io o’clock in the morning, the car arrived at the provincial university.
Watching the spirited college students inside the campus, Ye Xiaofei couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotions. One of the biggest regrets in his life was not having attended college.
Upon entering the campus, Meng Zhijing took care of the suitcases and other matters. Meanwhile, Ye Xiaofei accompanied Ning Xiaoyu to complete various enrollment procedures.
After they finished all the formalities, they headed to the dormitory. Meng Zhijing busied herself helping Ning Xiaoyu make the bed and unpack her luggage; Ning Xiaoyu couldn’t even find the opportunity to lend a hand.
By the time they finished arranging the room, it was already noon. The three of them went to the university canteen, ordered their meals, and chatted while eating.
Three male students sat down directly at Ye Xiaofei’s table.
The guy in the middle looked arrogant, his eyes scanning Meng Zhijing and Ning Xiaoyu from head to toe. He said, “You two beauties seem unfamiliar. Are you a freshman in our school?”
Meng Zhijing’s gaze turned cold, and she replied, “Do you have any business with us?”
The guy introduced himself directly, saying, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Ding Hailong. In this school, no one can mess with me, and there’s nothing I can’t do in this city. I really like this girl, so I’ve decided to make her my girlfriend.”
It was clear he was referring to Ning Xiaoyu.
Ye Xiaofei squinted his eyes and said, “You’re quite arrogant, kid.”
Ding Hailong raised his chin and proudly stated, “It’s not arrogance. I have what it takes. Any woman who catches Ding Hailong’s eye should consider it an honor. I know you have doubts, but you can go and inquire about my position in this city.”
Ning Xiaoyu held onto Ye Xiaofei’s arm and said, “1 already have a boyfriend.”
Ding Hailong raised an eyebrow and retorted, “Then, from now on, he’s not your boyfriend anymore. Your boyfriend can only be me.”
Ye Xiaofei had encountered many arrogant people in Ning City, but he had never met someone as cocky as this boy. He said, “Are you trying to forcibly take her?”
Ding Hailong wore a disdainful expression and replied, “Do you have a problem with that? You should mind your own business, or else… you’ll end up in a terrible state..”
