"Forget it," Leng Xuan didn’t want to hear the security guard explain any further, and he also felt that it was a trivial matter. To make a big fuss and get the man fired would leave him feeling uneasy—it was just the way of the world, looking down on others was common. If everyone got fired for things like this, how many people would be unemployed?
So he said, "I can go in now, right?"
Seeing that Leng Xuan didn’t bla him at all, the security guard felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders, grateful to the point of tears, and quickly nodded, "Yes, of course, of course. Please co in!"
Leng Xuan entered without looking back and then picked up his phone, "Uncle Liu, I’m in. I’m so sorry for troubling you with such a small matter!"
Uncle Liu said, "That security guard nad Cheng really doesn’t know what he’s doing. Don’t worry, I won’t let him stay there any longer... "
"No need," Leng Xuan said, "It’s part of his job."
Uncle Liu coughed and then said, "That’s true. If anyone is to bla, it’s for not being attentive enough and forgetting about this. I’m really becoming senile!"
Leng Xuan smiled slightly, "Uncle Liu, it’s a minor issue, let’s not talk about it anymore." Saying this, he was considering whether to tell Uncle Liu about the Silver Needle incident, but on second thought, since it involved a Cultivator, Uncle Liu might not believe it anyway, so he dismissed the idea.
Uncle Liu suddenly thought of sothing and asked, "By the way, Mr. Leng, are you alone?"
Leng Xuan said, "Yes."
"How co you didn’t co back with Miss?"
Leng Xuan replied sowhat awkwardly, "She ca back with Li ngjie. I took a taxi!"
"I see..." Uncle Liu pondered a mont, recalling the scene when Miss and Leng Xuan first t at the school gate, he probably understood sothing, so he said, "You can drive, can’t you?"
Leng Xuan said, "A little."
Uncle Liu said, "Miss has a car, but she’s usually too lazy to drive it and takes rides with Miss Xiao Jie instead. I’ll make a call and ask, and if Miss agrees, you’ll drive her car from now on. If she doesn’t, I’ll just apply to Old Master to get you a new car!"
Not one to stand on ceremony, Leng Xuan wouldn’t mind having a car since taking taxis every day was such a waste of money, so he said, "Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Liu."
"It’s no trouble. If there’s nothing else, then we’ll leave it at that for now."
"Alright, goodbye Uncle Liu..."
After hanging up the phone, Leng Xuan walked a bit further and arrived at Ling Xuejiu’s villa, where he noticed an electric scooter parked outside the garden. He felt a bit curious, turned his head, and saw a cute, fine-figured young girl holding a delicate little wooden box standing at the gate. Looking closer, who could it be but Xiao Yun? He was sowhat surprised and walked over, "Xiao Yun, it’s you. What are you doing standing outside? Hasn’t the young miss returned?"
Xiao Yun already knew about Leng Xuan’s identity from Uncle Liu, and upon seeing him, her face turned red, and she spoke in a shy, soft voice, "Not yet, you... you’re Sister Xue’s bodyguard, aren’t you? Why didn’t you co back with Sister Xue?"
"Sister Xue?" Leng Xuan was inwardly puzzled but then rembered that Xiao Yun was personally brought back by Elder Ling and couldn’t be considered just a servant. Still, being called "Sister Xue" was also sowhat frustrating for him. He thought, ’The young miss has kicked you out, why are you still calling her sister?’ Outwardly, though, he responded, "I don’t know. By the way, is that the young miss’s dinner in your hand?"
Xiao Yun uttered an "Mhm."
Leng Xuan sighed, looked up at the darkening sky that looked like it might rain soon, and said, "Then give it to . I’ll wait here for her."
"No need, I have to take it back to wash it later," Xiao Yun said.
