However, Ji Ming didn’t have to worry about Jian Yiling doing such a thing again.

Jian Yiling had said “Just one hit.”

The only reason that Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng were sitting on the sofa was that they wanted to hear Ji Ming’s genuine apology.

At that moment, Yu Xi’s mobile phone made a noise. He had received a message.

Yu Xi’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the message on the screen.

It was a message from someone in Beijing.

Yu Xi opened the message with extreme caution.

Sure enough, Master Zhai was asking him about his progress. Master Zhai wanted to know whether he had introduced a young girl to Master Sheng.

The last few times, Yu Xi had been quite vague about his progress. He always said that he had been making arrangements and knew what to do.

However, Master Zhai was bound to be unhappy if he kept saying things like that.

When he was viewing the message, Yu Xi suddenly thought of something.

He glanced at Jian Yiling who was currently seated next to Zhai Yunsheng on the sofa. This time, he could reply to Master Zhai with a clear conscience. He replied: [Arrangements have been made.]

The Zhai family had asked him to introduce an ‘innocent’ young girl to Master Sheng. Yiling could be considered as one of them. However, she was a little too ‘young’.

A message quickly popped up on the screen: [Does he like her?]

Yu Xi raised his head again. He took a glance at Master Sheng and Jian Yiling before replying: [It seems as though he likes her quite a bit.]

[That’s good.]

It seemed as though Master Zhai was quite satisfied with Yu Xi’s reply today.

Zhai Yunsheng, Jian Yiling, and Yu Xi left Ji Ming’s apartment after 10 minutes.

When Ji Ming saw the door of his apartment close, he prayed that this wouldn’t happen for the third time!

No. He better move back home to live with his father! He wasn’t going to stay in this apartment anymore!

Staying here would only bring up traumatic memories for him!

After they left Ji Ming’s apartment, Zhai Yunsheng took Jian Yiling for a drive. Then, they found a place to have a late-night snack. After that was done, he sent her home before the clock hit nine o’clock.

On Sunday, Jian Yiling initially thought that Qin Chuan was coming over to tutor her. However, Qin Chuan had called her and asked for the day off. He said that he had something to take care of.

This was a good thing for Jian Yiling. She could finally have time to visit the institution.

Jian Yiling contacted the institution and asked them to send over a vehicle to pick her up.

Jian Yiling thought that they would have sent any regular chauffeur to pick her up. However, when she opened the door, she saw Luo Xiuen.

Originally, Cheng Yi was sent to pick her up. However, Luo Xiuen had snatched the job away from him. Now, she had the right to pick up and drop off Yiling.

Luo Xiuen waved at Jian Yiling. Her face was full of smiles, “Yiling, I’m here to pick you up~”

Luo Xiuen’s smile was a little too radiant.

It was a good thing that she was a woman. Otherwise, she probably would have been taken for a creep.

“Mhmm.”

Jian Yiling nodded before she tried getting onto the car.

However, she failed her first attempt.

When Luo Xiuen realized the problem, she quickly asked Jian Yiling:

“Do you need help getting up? Do you want me to hoist you up?”

The car that Luo Xiuen drove was an off-road vehicle. The vehicle was known for its high chassis. Those who weren’t tall enough typically needed a small bench to help them get into the car.

She didn’t usually have to worry about this problem when people at the institution hitched a ride. They were all a bunch of old men who could take care of themselves.

Jian Yiling shook her head. She refused to let Luo Xiuen hoist her up.

She took a step and grabbed onto the door frame with both hands. Then, she jumped several times before she finally managed to get herself into the car.

Luo Xiuen couldn’t help but smile. She was too damn adorable. Was it legal to be this adorable even when climbing onto a car?
