Having understood the situation, Pengzhan and Li Fu left. Lin Yi, on the other hand, was about to head to his room when Mengyao and Yushu came down the stairs.
“What were you guys talking about, Shield Bro?” Yushu asked, curious as ever. The both of them had tried to eavesdrop on the conversation earlier, to no avail.
“Not much, just some stuff about the company.” Lin Yi said. “Uncle Chu’s business competitor.”
“Oh……” Mengyao wasn’t interested in that stuff- she was still too young, after all, and hadn’t been involved with the plots littering the business world. What she _was_ interested in, however, was the real reason Lin Yi was sent to protect her- it was only natural for her to be uninterested after learning that the incident earlier had nothing to do with that.
“Tell us honestly, Shield Bro- Uncle Chu sent you here to ask for Mengyao’s hand, right?” Yushu blurted, not quite believing that Lin Yi was discussing company matters with Pengzhan at all.
