After countless years of trials in his previous life, Wang Yue no longer possessed the arrogance that most young people have, but his determination was undiminished.
He smiled and said, "I will keep in mind what you have said, sir. However, emotions are sothing that cannot be controlled. What if one day, Yingying develops feelings for ? There would be nothing I could do about it, wouldn’t there?"
"Don’t worry, such a thing will never happen," Yu Yan said with confidence, waving her hand. "You may leave now."
"Thank you, sir," Wang Yue said, bowing before turning to leave.
"Rember, no one else must know about our conversation today, and certainly not anyone about Yingying learning martial arts from . Otherwise, it could not only harm her but also involve your three prominent families in Jinling," Yu Yan called out from behind him.
Wang Yue stopped in his tracks and nodded before continuing on his way.
Although he was very curious about Yu Yan’s true identity, he knew she would never tell him, so he decided not to bother asking.
Back in the restaurant outside, Wang Yue did not leave but found a spot to sit down and began to ditate on martial techniques.
Unfortunately, due to Yu Yan’s presence, it was difficult for him to truly calm his mind, and so he failed to achieve any breakthroughs throughout the morning.
...
Li Yingying was in a poor state today. Despite trying her best to concentrate, she barely paid attention during the entire morning’s classes. The reason was that she had not slept well all night.
Whenever she closed her eyes, Wang Yue’s face, which was almost more handso than that of a woman, would appear in her mind, and her body would continue to recall the monts they had shared on the bus.
For a girl, desire can be a double-edged sword. If she already has a good impression of you and you are able to arouse her sexual desire and even satisfy it, then her feelings for you will surely grow rapidly.
But if she doesn’t have any feelings for you, trying to provoke her will only cause her to dislike you and completely ruin any chance of winning her over.
Li Yingying fell into the forr category. She already had a considerable fondness for Wang Yue, and after what happened on the bus yesterday, the small sprout of affection that she had hidden in her heart had grown uncontrollably into a towering tree, occupying her entire being.
The more this was the case, the more anxious she beca about whether she could be with him regardless of social status. She even envied her sister—how wonderful it would be if she could beco his personal maid!
Although she was in a daze throughout the morning, she rushed to the restaurant as soon as the lunch break began. She was truly grateful to the owner, Yu Yan, for not only providing her with a part-ti job but also treating her very kindly.
Like her mother, Li Yingying was a person who knew how to be thankful, so she worked very hard in the restaurant, never wasting a single mont.
Being the first to arrive, Li Yingying imdiately saw Wang Yue sitting inside, smiling at her.
At that mont, she was overjoyed. He had said he would co to see her again yesterday, and she had been both excited and skeptical—what kind of person was he that he would waste so much ti on a young girl like her?
But to her surprise, he had actually co, and it seed he had been waiting there for so ti.
Overwheld with joy, Li Yingying walked towards him, but then she suddenly rembered what had happened on the bus yesterday. A wave of sha made her slow down and almost stop.
Wang Yue stood up and walked over to her, saying with a smile, "Yingying."
"You... why did you co?" Li Yingying asked, her face turning red.
"I ca to see you, didn’t I say that yesterday?" Wang Yue replied.
The ntion of yesterday sent Li Yingying’s mind into chaos, and she blurted out, "Let’s not talk about what happened yesterday."
"Are you still angry about it? I really didn’t an to do it," Wang Yue said sincerely.
"I’m not... not angry. I just... I just don’t know how to face you, Wang Yue. Could you please give so ti?" Li Yingying stamred before finally saying.
Ti?
Wang Yue was montarily puzzled, realizing that Li Yingying must have misunderstood sothing. But telling her the truth would probably shock her greatly.
Moreover, he felt a certain fondness for her, so perhaps it would be better to let this beautiful misunderstanding continue and eventually beco reality.
"Ah?" Li Yingying exclaid in surprise. "You... you are a martial artist?"
Judging by her appearance, Yu Yan didn’t seem to be in her thirties at all. Li Yingying had even thought that that was her actual age, but now, after what she had just said, Li Yingying realized that the boss must have sohow frozen her age.
And only martial artists were capable of doing sothing like that.
"That’s right, I am indeed a martial artist," Yu Yan said with a nod. "And you... do you want to beco one too?"
"Can I do it too?" Li Yingying’s heart began to beat wildly. If she beca a warrior herself, wouldn’t that an she could get closer to Wang Yue?
Yu Yan had no idea that Li Yingying wanted to beco a warrior precisely because of Wang Yue.
Seeing her eager expression, Yu Yan took the opportunity to say, "As long as you take as your master and inherit my skills, you will not only beco a warrior but also a top-tier warrior who commands respect from the vast majority of others."
"Take you as my master?" Li Yingying could hardly believe her ears. She said in a dazed voice, "Can I really do that?"
"Of course. Over the years, I’ve traveled to many places, but only you et my requirents," Yu Yan replied.
Seeing that Li Yingying still didn’t understand, Yu Yan explained further, "You are self-reliant and refuse to bow to reality. You don’t even consider relying on the wealthy. Such qualities are truly rare."
