The next morning, a little after five oâclock, Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu set off.
Auntie Ning didnât accompany them; she said she had some things to attend to. Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu understood that she simply didnât want to disturb them and wanted to give more time to the young couple.
Ye Xiaofei didnât drive his Lamborghini to take her; instead, he had Meng Zhijing bring a business car.
âIs she coming too?â Ning Xiaoyu pulled Ye Xiaofei aside, pouting.
âYes, sheâll be driving, and it will be more comfortable for both of us,â Ye Xiaofei replied.
âSheâs coming to be our driver?â Ning Xiaoyu looked skeptical.
âYes, and when you have something to do at school and canât make it, you can ask her for help,â Ye Xiaofei explained.
Watching Meng Zhijing carry her luggage and load it into the car, Ning Xiaoyu felt a bit embarrassed and said, âXiaofei, you should help her.â
Meng Zhijing quickly refused, âNo need! I can handle it myself. How could I let Mr. Ye do such things?â
Ye Xiaofei didnât 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, âYouâre really clueless. How can you let such a beautiful woman do the heavy lifting without feeling sorry for her?â
âWhatâs there to feel sorry about? This kind of work wonât tire her out,â Ye Xiaofei replied nonchalantly.
Ning Xiaoyuâs perception of Ye Xiaofeiâs attitude brought her and Meng Zhijing closer. At least Ning Xiaoyu understood that Meng Zhijing couldnât be Ye Xiaofeiâs girlfriend; otherwise, he wouldnât 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, âMiss Xiaoyu, if thereâs anything youâre not satisfied with, just let me know, and Iâll take care of it immediately.â
Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly said, âNo, no! Thank you so much, sister.â
Meng Zhijing replied, âItâs no trouble. Iâm honored to be able to help Miss Xiaoyu.â
Ning Xiaoyu said, âSister, please donât say that. 1 feel bad for troubling you.â
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 Xiaofeiâs heart was special, which made her genuinely happy.
At io oâclock in the morning, the car arrived at the provincial university.
Watching the spirited college students inside the campus, Ye Xiaofei couldnât 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 couldnât 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 Xiaofeiâs table.
The guy in the middle looked arrogant, his eyes scanning Meng Zhijing and Ning Xiaoyu from head to toe. He said, âYou two beauties seem unfamiliar. Are you a freshman in our school?â
Meng Zhijingâs gaze turned cold, and she replied, âDo you have any business with us?â
The guy introduced himself directly, saying, âLet me introduce myself. Iâm Ding Hailong. In this school, no one can mess with me, and thereâs nothing I canât do in this city. I really like this girl, so Iâve decided to make her my girlfriend.â
It was clear he was referring to Ning Xiaoyu.
Ye Xiaofei squinted his eyes and said, âYouâre quite arrogant, kid.â
Ding Hailong raised his chin and proudly stated, âItâs not arrogance. I have what it takes. Any woman who catches Ding Hailongâs eye should consider it an honor. I know you have doubts, but you can go and inquire about my position in this city.â
Ning Xiaoyu held onto Ye Xiaofeiâs arm and said, â1 already have a boyfriend.â
Ding Hailong raised an eyebrow and retorted, âThen, from now on, heâs not your boyfriend anymore. Your boyfriend can only be me.â
Ye Xiaofei had encountered many arrogant people in Ning City, but he had never met someone as cocky as this boy. He said, âAre you trying to forcibly take her?â
Ding Hailong wore a disdainful expression and replied, âDo you have a problem with that? You should mind your own business, or else⦠youâll end up in a terrible state..â
