Ye Fei's reasons were reasonable, and Ye Yunqi didn't suspect anything. As long as he wasn't mad at her, she was free to follow her own thoughts. Although his thing was fun to play with, in the end, he might force himself to drink it down. Although Ye Yunqi wasn't too repulsed by the idea of taking it in her mouth, there was still some resistance in her heart.
After coming downstairs and hastily eating something, the two of them prepared to go to school. However, before they could leave the living room, they saw a woman approaching them. This woman bore some resemblance to Liu Yiru in appearance and age, with the only difference being slightly fuller cheeks than Liu Yiru. However, it made her look even more alluring. Clad in a black suit, which failed to hide her extremely voluptuous figure, this woman was none other than one of the most beautiful women in Wanghai City and one of the most powerful women in Wanghai - Mayor Liu Fengyi, Liu Yiru's sister and Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi's aunt.
Leaning against the doorway, Liu Fengyi smiled as she looked at the twins whom she adored endlessly. Despite her affection for them, she couldn't help but worry about their safety. Although Ye Yunqi's martial arts skills should keep her safe, she was a careless girl who might not be able to take care of Ye Fei.
"Aunt, why are you here?" Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi asked simultaneously. Although they were quite fond of their aunt, they also harbored some fear towards her as she could be quite serious.
Seeing the slightly fearful looks in the eyes of the two youngsters, Liu Fengyi felt a bit helpless. As the Mayor of Wanghai, she had to maintain a strong and serious demeanor. However, she also felt sorry if this demeanor distanced her from the two little ones she adored so much.
"I came to see you. Are you two going to school?" Liu Fengyi maintained her smile as she spoke.
Through Siyao's incident, Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi somewhat understood that their aunt was like Siyao - outwardly stern but actually deeply caring for them. Despite this understanding, they still felt a bit uncomfortable around her. Upon hearing Liu Fengyi's question, Ye Fei smiled and said, "Aunt must have something to discuss with us. School can wait."
Liu Fengyi said, "Let's talk as we walk. Yunqi, you don't need to ride your electric bike today. Aunt will give you both a gift." With that, she led the two out of the house. There was a Volkswagen Longteng sedan parked outside, a two-year-old model that still looked new.
Upon seeing the car, Ye Yunqi cheered, "Aunt, is this the gift you're giving us? Can I finally drive?"
Liu Fengyi shook her head with a smile, "The car is indeed for you both, but you can't drive yet." She knocked on the driver's window and added, "From now on, Mingming will be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off at school."
The front window of the Longteng sedan slowly rolled down, revealing a bright and beautiful face. Zhou Mingming, the aunt's personal secretary and a skilled martial artist, smiled and said, "Get in, you two."
"Mingming!" Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi greeted her in unison. They were familiar with this beautiful woman, who was not only the aunt's secretary but also a martial arts expert from a renowned family, not inferior to Ye Yunqi in martial skills.
As they got into the car, Ye Fei noticed that Zhou Mingming was not wearing her usual professional attire but rather casual clothing. Curious, he asked, "Mingming, aren't you working today? Why the change in outfit?"
Starting the car, Zhou Mingming laughed and replied, "My job from now on is to pick you two up and drop you off. What I wear doesn't matter, right?"
Ye Fei was taken aback and asked, "Aren't you the aunt's secretary? Why are you now specifically assigned to pick us up?" It was indeed strange. Even if the aunt wanted to arrange a chauffeur, she could have chosen anyone. There was no need to send her most trusted secretary, especially considering Zhou Mingming's exceptional skills, which would be more useful by the aunt's side.
Liu Fengyi smiled and said, "Haven't you two been eager to drive to school? But you're still not old enough, so Auntie will have Mingming pick you up for a while. She's very attentive, and Auntie feels relieved entrusting you to her."
Ye Fei's heart stirred involuntarily as he thought back to that day with Liu Yiru's demeanor, which seemed off, as if she was carrying some worry between her brows. Now, with Auntie sending over someone with such great skills, could it be that something had happened within the family? Was Auntie worried about some accident happening to him?
Thinking this, Ye Fei couldn't help but glance at Liu Fengyi, noticing a gentle and kind look in her eyes mixed with a hint of concern. He affirmed his thoughts internally but also understood that now was not the time to ask. Even if he did, she wouldn't tell him, as in her eyes, he was still a child in need of protection.
On the other hand, Ye Yunqi didn't sense anything amiss. She was still pouting and grumbling about Auntie not allowing her to drive, while Liu Fengyi just smiled gently, seemingly enjoying her playful complaints.
The car was indeed much faster than the electric bike. Before long, they arrived at a high school. Liu Fengyi got out of the car at the entrance and walked away alone. Zhou Mingming, however, followed them into the school. Ye Fei, accustomed to seeing Zhou Mingming in professional attire, was now amazed by her casual outfit.
Before, Ye Fei had thought that Zhou Mingming was not much less beautiful than their mothers. But now, he realized he had been mistaken. In her youthful attire, she was just as stunning as Liu Yiru and the others. Although her figure wasn't as voluptuous as theirs, her 1.75-meter height made her appear tall and elegant, exuding a different kind of charm in Ye Fei's eyes.
Zhou Mingming stayed with them until they reached the fourth floor, watching them enter the classroom before leaving. She didn't go far, just found a shady spot to sit down. At twenty-five years old, sitting in a high school campus, she didn't seem out of place at all. Like a quiet schoolgirl, the breeze tousled her flowing hair, giving her an aura of purity and beauty.
While there were many beautiful girls at the high school, there were only a few who could match Zhou Mingming's level of beauty. Consequently, many students and even teachers couldn't help but sneak a few extra glances as they passed by her. However, Ye Fei didn't take the time to admire her beauty because Zhou Mingming's actions further confirmed his suspicions. It seemed that their family had indeed encountered some kind of crisis.
Sitting at his desk, Ye Fei couldn't help but ponder. Auntie sending Zhou Mingming was undoubtedly for his protection. As for his younger sister, she didn't need anyone's protection. Thinking about this, he felt even more resentful towards his own body.
