Mu Shengchen carried the exhausted Ning Qianyu back into the room before calling Ye Xi to deliver their dinner.
"Qianyu, do you want to get up and eat something?" Mu Shengchen asked as he drove his wheelchair to the bedside.
Ning Qianyu lifted her heavy eyelids and shook her head, "I don't feel like eating," Then she buried her face into the blanket.
"Then have some rest first," Mu Shengchen controlled his wheelchair and left the room.
"Young Master Chen, the results are out," Ye Xi handed a document without a title to Mu Shengchen. He then opened it and took a look. His calm face turned ashen, only after a long while, he closed up the file, "You didn't attract anyone's attention, did you?"
"Nope."
"En!" Mu Shengchen was expressionless, under the dim light, it was hard to read his expression and unable to guess what he was thinking.
"Other than that, I have a thorough understanding of the situation with Mu's. Because CEO Mu is too busy managing the overseas markets, he had basically stopped participating in the affairs within Mu's group. And ever since Mu Zhengsheng became the vice president of Mu's Group, he had arranged a few of his own people in the higher-level management. All these people were close to the Second Young Master, which was why the Second Young Master had such influence in the Mu's. As for those people that Young Master Chen had previously worked with, they had either been assigned to remote departments or had already been excluded from Mu's. Originally, it would not be a big problem for Mu's to maintain a balance, but when CEO Mu's suggested for Young Master Chen to return to Mu's as the Sales Manager, that had started to be unsettled. They have already begun to secretly tamper with the situation," Ye Xi took out another document from his briefcase and handed it to Mu Shengchen.
Mu Shengchen then casually took it and put it aside.
Seeing that Mu Shengchen did not say anything, Ye Xi quietly left the apartment.
After Ye Xi left, Mu Shengchen took out Mu's Group's information and read through it with his brows frowning. To him, solving the problem of Mu's was easy, however, he did not want to get involved in solving their mess and he had to consider Ning Qianyu's thoughts too.
He gently placed the file in the drawer and steered the wheelchair out of the study room, into the bedroom.
The person on the bed was sleeping soundly, not knowing Mu Shengchen was worried about her.
He reached out his hand to caress Ning Qianyu's hair, "Silly, are you afraid that I'll be angry, so you won't dare to tell me about the contract?" Mu Shengchen laid beside her slowly and embraced her in his arms.
Feeling the familiar warmth, Ning Qianyu snuggled into Mu Shengchen's embrace, sighed softly and went back to sleep.
The next day, as soon as Ning Qianyu stepped into the classroom, Fang Zijian came up to her and stared at her gloomily.
Ning Qianyu stopped and asked indifferently, "Mr. Fang, is there anything I can help you?"
Fang Zijian stared at Ning Qianyu with a cold face. He used to think that she was extremely attractive, but now, he felt that he had been cheated on.
He questioned, "Do you love money that much?"
"What?" Ning Qianyu did not know what Fang Zijian meant.
In Fang Zijian's eyes, now Ning Qianyu was just pretending to be pure and innocent.
"I've seen it all. I've never thought that Miss Ning is someone who could sell herself off for money," Fang Zijian looked at Ning Qianyu in disdain.
Ning Qianyu lifted her head and looked at him in shock. In Faang Zijian's eyes, Ning Qianyu was embarrassed due to being exposed. A hint of pain revealed in his eyes, with a ferocious expression, he turned around and left.
Ning Qianyu guessed that Fang Zijian must have seen her being driven around by a driver every day, that was why he said that. Mu Shengchen and her were inseparable. Therefore, she did not care what Fang Zijian said, because other than a classmate, he was no one to her.
The moment Fang Zijian returned to his seat, his companions immediately surrounded him and said, "Zijian, you're really not giving us a chance uh? Both of you are in a relationship already?"
Faang Zijian's gaze followed the direction of their sight and glanced at Ning Qianyu. Then, he said angrily, "She won't like any of you, so forget it."
"Zijian, why are you mad? I know I shouldn't tease my bro's girlfriend, but I've never thought of stealing her away from you. Why are you being so impulsive?"
Fang Zijian knew that his bro had misunderstood him, but he did not explain any further.
A few of them thought Fang Zijian was being too possessive and did not ask any further. They just patted Fang Zijian on the shoulder, saying, "Bro, good luck!"
On the podium, Professor Mo Yan's lecture was very interesting. Ning Qianyu listened to his class and took down some notes, nothing abnormal happened. However, Fang Zijian could not help but keep on staring at her.
Did she love money that much? Selling her body and dignity just for money?
As the bell rang, Professor Mo Yan packed up his stuff and said, "There will be a quiz next week. Let's see how everyone has been doing during this period."
The students exclaimed when they heard about having a quiz. Everyone knew Professor Mo Yan was very strict? But wasn't he way too strict? They had only been in his class for half a month only.
Ning Qianyu remained calm as she kept the notebook on the table while Mo Yan's gaze swept through the crowd and landed on her. Yesterday, when he went back, he specially went through Ning Qianyu's personal details, realizing she was the student that the dean appointed to him.
She was different from what he had imagined, and she had prompted his interest towards her.
However, she still had many classes with him, so, he had plenty of time to get to know her.
Ning Qianyu packed up her stuff and walked out through the back door. Coincidentally, she bumped into Professor Mo Yan, who had left the classroom earlier.
"Professor Mo Yan." Ning Qianyu greeted him in a low voice.
Mo Yan held his gold-rimmed glasses and said sincerely, "About that, Miss Ning, I'm really sorry about last time."
Ning Qianyu only reacted after a while, realizing that Mo Yan was talking about running into her outside the dean's office previously, then she replied in a low voice, "It's fine."
"I was in a hurry, but I didn't expect you to be my student," Mo Yan smiled gently just like a guy next door.
Ning Qianyu's face turned slightly red from embarrassment, "At that time, I didn't know that you were Professor Mo Yan too."
Mo Yan was amused by Ning Qianyu's words, "Haha, I'll treat you to a meal one day as an apology. You're not allowed to refuse because I'm a professor."
Ning Qianyu was petrified for a moment then smiled, "Of course, since Professor Mo Yan insisted I'll go. Anyway, someone is still waiting for me outside. I'll be leaving first."
"Alright!" Mo Yan waved his hand.
Ning Qianyu bowed politely towards Mo Yan before turning around and leave.
When he returned to the apartment, just as Ning Qianyu took off her shoes, her cellphone in her bag rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, Ning Qianyu hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Hello."
"Qianyu, I'm grandmaa" The old lady's voice came from the other side.
Ning Qianyu was shocked as she looked at Mu Shengchen's study room in a panic. She then held her phone and walked towards the dining room.
"Qianyu, grandma wants to ask you, when are you going to come back to the courtyard with little Chen to have dinner with me?" Old Madam Mu did not mention anything about the contract, only asked Ning Qianyu to go back with Mu Shengchen to the courtyard for dinner.
However, Ning Qianyu knew grandma's intention, she was already anxious. She stammered, "Grandma, I was busy for the past few days with my classes. After a few days, I'll go back together with Chen."
The old lady immediately responded happily, "Alright, alright. Remember to call grandma before coming, I'll get the chef to prepare the dishes you guys like."
"Alright."
Only hanging up after a few pleasantries.
Ning Qianyu placed her phone on the table, opened her bag and took out the contract.
"Haih…" Ning Qianyu was truly in a dilemma. She neither wanted to hurt Mu Shengchen, nor did she want to hurt grandma's heart.
