"Really, Sister Xie Wei?" Meng Zhixue's eyes lit up with surprise. "Xie Lingfeng really isn't coming back, and those two nannies have left too?"

Seeing the light in her eyes, Xie Wei couldn't help but chuckle: "Yes, you heard me right."

A tickling sensation in her throat made her suddenly cover her mouth and cough incessantly.

His brows were furrowed, and he looked very uncomfortable.

Meng Zhixue quickly brought her some water, saying worriedly, "Sister Xie Wei, drink some warm water to soothe your throat."

"Thank you." Xie Wei finally stopped coughing, smiled gently, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is an old problem of mine. I cough every autumn and winter. I've seen countless doctors, but it's never getting better."

Meng Zhixue looked at her with heartache: "How about I make you some white fungus and pear soup later? It can soothe your lungs and make you feel better."

"Okay." Xie Wei knew she was worried, so she didn't refuse. "Thank you for your trouble, Xiaoxue."

"No trouble at all, not at all." Meng Zhixue scratched her cheek sheepishly, then hesitated before asking, "Sister Xie Wei, you said Xie Lingfeng isn't coming anymore, did you say something to him?"

Xie Wei nodded: "Although you said he didn't bully you, he just said a few harsh words, I checked the surveillance footage from his room."

"He really went too far that night, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. But don't worry, I've already deleted his facial recognition and fingerprint information, so even if he wants to come back, he won't be able to get into the villa anymore."

Meng Zhixue's eyes were bright.

When Xie Wei told her that she had watched the surveillance footage from that night, she blushed with embarrassment as she recalled the situation.

But when she heard that Xie Wei had deleted Xie Lingfeng's fingerprints, she was very happy.

She was also a little worried: "Sister Xie Wei, won't your forbidding Xie Lingfeng from coming home affect your relationship as siblings?"

Xie Wei shook her head and said, "No, he rarely stays here anyway. Even if he has some issues with me, he wouldn't disown me as his sister. After all, I'm his only family, and he's very good to me."

"That's good." Meng Zhixue was completely relieved and smiled sweetly.

If Xie Lingfeng is a vicious dog, then Xie Wei is the one who can put a muzzle on it. The bloodline suppression from her own sister is truly powerful!

That way, she won't need Zhou Yu's help anymore!

But then she wondered if Zhou Yu had already made a move? After all, he had said last night that he would handle the matter.

Could it be that he reminded Sister Xie Wei to check the surveillance footage?

Did he see it?

Thinking of this, Meng Zhixue couldn't laugh anymore and became withdrawn!

……

With two less hostile nannies around, Meng Zhixue was finally able to officially start her job and spend more time with her new boss, Zhuangzhuang.

Before we find a new nanny, she will need to stay up with two-and-a-half-year-old Zhuangzhuang at night for the next few days. She may need to change his diaper and feed him water, which will be a bit tiring.

But Meng Zhixue could not obtain what she desired.

She was just wondering how to avoid Zhou Yu, and now that she had a perfectly legitimate reason, she couldn't wait to ask him for leave on WeChat.

Zhou Yu called directly.

I don't know if he's at the company, but the background noise sounds like someone is giving a work report, exuding an air of sophistication.

"Have you thought it through?" he asked.

Meng Zhixue thought for a second and decided to be direct: "Well, I've thought it through. I don't plan to be in a relationship for the time being, so..."

"No, you haven't thought it through," Zhou Yu said. "When the time comes, I'll come find you and we'll talk face to face."

Meng Zhixue was dumbfounded: "But..."

As if he had entered a quiet place, the background noise faded away, making his clear and pleasant voice stand out even more: "Meng Zhixue, you don't dislike me, do you?"

Meng Zhixue nodded: "Yes, but..."

Zhou Yu coaxed patiently: "Since you don't dislike me and need me to help you with your studies, why not consider taking it a step further? If you agree, you can exercise your rights as my girlfriend and ask me to do whatever you want. You can even give me gold coins; I'd be more than happy to oblige."

Meng Zhixue: "...!!!"

She couldn't resist the temptation and really wanted to say yes, but she wasn't stupid!

Rights and obligations are equal.

She exercises the rights of a girlfriend to him, and he should exercise the rights of a boyfriend to her; he had said this a long time ago.

But she doesn't want a man right now; she can't eat, she simply can't eat.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Hmm!" Meng Zhixue responded, decisively refusing, "Young Master Zhou, I've decided..."

"I'll talk to you later, I have to go now."

"Beep beep beep..."

Meng Zhixue: "...?"

Staring blankly at her phone, she thought about it for a moment, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the person didn't want to hear her say no, so she quickly made an excuse to hang up the phone.

No way?

I felt this wasn't something Zhou Yu would do.

While Meng Zhixue was puzzled, a sudden inspiration flashed through her mind:

Perhaps she shouldn't have bought the white dress to cosplay Zhou Yu's white moonlight so he could reminisce; she should have given him a small toy that would allow him to be self-sufficient.

She felt that she understood what had made Zhou Yu angry that day.

Reminiscing is just reminiscing; it has no practical use whatsoever!

Admitting her mistake, she quickly typed on her phone: "Young Master Zhou, how about I get you a small toy? What kind do you like? Do you have any particular hobbies?"

She soon received a reply.

Zhou Yu: [Shut up!]

Meng Zhixue: "...Oh."

Pity.

She's never bought small toys before, but she wants to buy some to broaden her horizons before giving them as gifts.

……

Meng Zhixue was carefree and immediately forgot about the little incident.

Since Zhou Yu didn't say that taking leave was forbidden, she took it as a yes.

She didn't miss her training class in the evening.

After obtaining Xie Wei's permission, she called the training teacher and asked him to give her a lesson at Villa No. 28 that evening.

After finishing her class and putting her little boss Zhuangzhuang to sleep in the children's room, she stayed up late studying, burying herself in books. Because she wasn't very efficient, she found it a bit painful to study and missed the time when Zhou Yu had guided her so much.

It sounds a bit pathetic, but she was actually thinking of "giving in" to Zhou Yu.

But hold on, hold on! You must hold on!

Thinking about the reason for her sudden death in her previous life, she cheered herself up and gritted her teeth to continue.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Meng Zhixue was living a very fulfilling life, so much so that she even forgot about her three-day appointment with Zhou Yu.

That afternoon, she took the two new nannies to familiarize themselves with the villa, teaching them about Zhuangzhuang's habits and small appliances. By the time she finished, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

Xie Wei said to her, "Xiaoxue, the nanny has arrived. You can go home and rest tonight."

Go back? Back to Villa No. 15? Remembering the "three-day deadline" Zhou Yu gave her, Meng Zhixue's heart pounded like a drum, and she looked like she had been struck by lightning.

"What's wrong?" Xie Wei asked with concern. "Is your tooth hurting?"

"No," Meng Zhixue shook her head, sobbing.

She would be happy if it was just a toothache, but she was afraid that her whole body would hurt, like the kind of pain that makes you feel like you've been run over by a truck.

Should we find an excuse to continue hiding?

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Zhou Yu called, urging her to hurry up and leave.

Meng Zhixue resignedly answered, "Feed."

"Where?"

Meng Zhixue looked at Xie Wei pitifully, hoping that she could understand her eyes and let her stay. However, Xie Wei misunderstood and quickly said considerately, "You should go back and get some rest."

Zhou Yu chuckled softly on the other end of the phone: "Still at the Xie family's?"

"Um..." Meng Zhixue had no choice but to hesitate and say, "I'll go back."

"Wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Zhixue said goodbye to Xie Wei, rubbing her face as she walked out, her steps resembling a death wish.

As soon as she stepped out of the gate of Villa No. 28, she saw a black Maybach parked not far away.

The car lights came on.

The car window rolled down, and Zhou Yu's handsome face appeared behind it.

Meng Zhixue reluctantly got into the car.

Zhou Yu gripped the steering wheel with one hand, turned to look at her, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with laughter: "Why that expression? Are you so unwilling to be my girlfriend?"

Meng Zhixue really wanted to say yes, but she racked her brains trying to figure out how to refuse without being rejected.

Suddenly, a telephone rang in the quiet carriage.

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at the car's electronic screen.

Upon seeing this, she was immediately speechless.

The caller is Bai Xue?! It's actually Bai Xue?!

How is that possible?

Meng Zhixue looked at Zhou Yu in astonishment and found that he was also surprised. His peach blossom eyes were filled with ice and snow, and his expression was so serious that it was hard to describe.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yu put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the phone.

Meng Zhixue immediately held her breath.

After hearing what was said on the other end, Zhou Yu's expression became quite interesting. The usually calm and composed man lost his composure: "You're back in China? Aren't you...?"

"Wasn't he dead?" Meng Zhixue looked at him, her mind seemingly possessing a self-awareness, helping him complete the remaining three words he hadn't said.

It wasn't until the call ended and Zhou Yu's complex gaze fell on her face that she suddenly realized what had happened.

Oh, Zhou Yu's white moonlight has come back to life and returned to his side, so he probably doesn't need her as a substitute anymore, right?

This...this is a good thing!
