Chapter 214: Chapter 214

The knocking on the door outside persisted relentlessly.

Xiao Mian saw him sleeping and quietly got up to the door, pulling it open and stepping outside.

"Shh, don’t make noise. Young Master Lu is sleeping inside." Xiao Mian whispered.

Hong Mao and a few rich second generations looked at Xiao Mian with a ghost-like expression.

Young Master Lu having sleep disturbances was something known among his friends, and even psychological interventions were ineffective, right?

How could he possibly be asleep?

Such a poor liar, this young girl.

Hong Mao pushed past Xiao Mian and walked in to take a look, instantly dumbfounded.

Lu Jinghuai was lying peacefully on the sofa, breathing smoothly. His usually cold lips gently curled up, as if he were having a pleasant dream.

Holy cow, really asleep?

What an incredible sight. The source of this content ɪs novelFirｅ.net

Hong Mao didn’t dare go in further, quickly retreating outside with an admiring look at Xiao Mian.

Xu Haohao pulled Xiao Mian over, inspecting her up and down, and said, "Were you hurt? What were you doing inside, not answering when I knocked?"

Xiao Mian’s voice was soft, "Teaching sleep inside."

Does such a thing need to be taught?

In an instant, the not-so-innocent rich second generations present began to cough lightly.

Could it be that kind of teaching sleep?

Xu Haohao’s face darkened, pulled Xiao Mian away without another word.

Hong Mao and the others were surprised; the assistant really belonged to Mr. Qi.

Perhaps the girl was indeed the friend of Mr. Qi’s girlfriend?

When Xiao Mian and Xu Haohao returned, Su Li was already able to walk, though looking somewhat awkward.

Su Li saw Xiao Mian yawning upon return, and asked urgently, "Is everything okay? That Young Master Lu is really nice to take you in."

Feng Huaijin, standing nearby, curved his lips meaningfully.

He had heard of him, seen him a few times in Yanjing.

Like himself, neither was a "helpful" "civic-minded youth."

Feng Huaijin adjusted his attire and asked Xiao Mian, indifferently, "Lu Jinghuai isn’t someone who acts out of benevolence, so why did he help you?"

Su Li grew nervous; could Xiao Mian have agreed to some unfair deal?

Xiao Mian smiled sweetly, "I told him my friend is Mr. Qi’s girlfriend, so they respected your status and kept me in the booth for now."

A flush of red spread through her body, straight onto her cheeks.

Her small face turned crimson, and Su Li awkwardly lowered her lashes, stammering, "Don’t say such things."

Feng Huaijin was momentarily surprised, then burst into a laugh, his laughter filled with satisfaction.

Su Li dared not look at Feng Huaijin, bowed her head to explain immediately, "Xiao Mian acted strategically under pressure; it wasn’t intentional."

Feng Huaijin raised a hand lightly atop Su Li’s head and asked teasingly, "Su Li, are you really the top scorer in the college entrance exam?"

Su Li was momentarily bewildered; what’s so strange about this?

Absolutely genuine, alright?

Feng Huaijin lowered his voice, filled with amusement, "Then why do I feel Xiao Mian is much smarter than you?"

The heat on her face was nearly enough to make her faint, her embarrassment and discomfort all surfaced.

Xu Haohao and Xiao Mian exchanged a glance, simultaneously signaling with their eyes.

If nothing is going on between them, they’ll call Su Li "dad" from now on!

But looking at Feng Huaijin, Xu Haohao couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

That’s the Feng Family...

Unsure if Feng Huaijin is here just with romantic intentions.
