Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

And what was the result?

The result of Huo Wen’an’s so-called business was to pick up Miss Xu.

”I was standing by the window just now and saw it all.” Ye Mingluo muttered, complaining: ”You were afraid of waking Miss Xu from her nap, so you couldn’t bring yourself to turn off the engine at her door. Do you know how expensive gas is now? Since it’s not your car, and you don’t pay for the gas, you don’t care, right?”

Ye Mingluo was annoyed. ”We clearly agreed to be single dogs together, yet you sneak off to find your little sweetheart, A Zui, are you being fair to me?”

Huo Wen’an wasn’t embarrassed at all. He walked elegantly under the eaves, scrutinized Ye Mingluo’s scruffy face, and coldly mocked him: ”Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see that ugly mug of yours, is it worth my concern?”

Ye Mingluo felt breathless from the pain. ”You heartless little thing!”

Despite the teasing, Ye Mingluo was truly happy for Huo Wen’an.

He said, ”Tomorrow I’ll check out Miss Xu’s full background. If she’s all good, I’ll give you the car. From then on, rain or shine, you’ll have a Bentley accompanying you.”

Huo Wen’an smiled wryly.

He walked into the workroom, glanced at the medicine brewing on the stove in the resting area, a warmth appearing in his eyes. ”Thank you,” he said to Ye Mingluo.

Huo Wen’an thanked him sincerely, making Ye Mingluo feel a bit awkward.

”Drink up. Once you do, you’ll sleep well tonight and be refreshed to see your Miss Xu tomorrow.”

Huo Wen’an turned to the kitchen to get a bowl and said, ”She’s not home tomorrow.”

Ye Mingluo frowned, ”You even know her schedule for tomorrow?” He used to think Huo Wen’an was a guy who didn’t understand romance, but now he realized he’s been completely wrong.

He’s not unromantic, just clueless until he gets it, and then he knows everything.

Huo Wen’an shook his head and explained, ”The Xiahou Family is having an ancestor worship ceremony tomorrow, Xiahou Shang’s wife invited her along. Tomorrow she’ll be out shopping for clothes, saying she wants to outshine You Mingyue.”

After speaking, Huo Wen’an frowned in disdain and said, ”That little green tea sprout, does Miss Xu even need to outshine her? Ugly and underdeveloped at first glance.”

Ye Mingluo: ”...”

”You haven’t even got her yet, and you’re already starting to protect Miss Xu.” Ye Mingluo could imagine how indulgent Huo Wen’an would be once he truly gets Miss Xu.

Huo Wen’an corrected Ye Mingluo’s wording, ”It’s not protecting, I’m stating objective facts.”

Ye Mingluo had also met You Mingyue once, and he objectively commented, ”I think Miss Xu’s sister is quite a beauty.”

Huo Wen’an: ”Must be blind.”

”Alright, alright, hurry up and drink your medicine.” Ye Mingluo supervised Huo Wen’an as he drank all the medicine, expressionlessly swallowed the whole fruit, and finally felt at ease.

He stayed over at Huo Wen’an’s place that night.

Ye Mingluo woke up very early, saw that Huo Wen’an was still sleeping, rare for him, and felt gratified, deciding to sneak out to buy breakfast.

At the breakfast shop, he ran into Xu Xingguang, who was riding an electric scooter, carrying a canvas bag.

Ye Mingluo saw the textbooks in Xu Xingguang’s bag and asked her: ”Miss Xu, off to class?”

”Doctor Ye, up so early?” Noticing Ye Mingluo bought two breakfasts, Xu Xingguang then asked him, ”Heading to Boss Huo’s?”

”I stayed over at his place last night.” Ye Mingluo warmly said, ”Let me treat you to breakfast.” Before Xu Xingguang could refuse, he turned to the owner and said, ”Don’t take this lady’s money, I’m treating her.”

”Sure!” The owner really didn’t take Xu Xingguang’s money.

Since it was just a breakfast, Xu Xingguang didn’t insist with Ye Mingluo.

She had just taken the breakfast when Ye Mingluo said, ”I need to find someone, I probably won’t be at Cangshan Town for a while. Miss Xu, I’d like to ask you to keep an eye on A Zui, he’s sick, if there’s any emergency, please contact me right away.”

Ye Mingluo then recited his phone number.

Xu Xingguang memorized Ye Mingluo’s number and casually asked, ”Who are you looking for? His sister?”

Ye Mingluo shook his head, smiling, ”No, I’m going to find my master.”

Xu Xingguang was curious who Ye Mingluo’s master was, though she didn’t plan to ask, Ye Mingluo volunteered the information. ”You know the Xiahou family has a young master tortured by a serious illness for years, his illness was cured by my master.”

”My master’s whereabouts are uncertain, I need to find her. As long as she’s willing to come to Cangshan Town, A Zui can be saved.” After speaking, Ye Mingluo spoke earnestly to Xu Xingguang: ”Miss Xu, our A Zui will get better, we will definitely cure him.”
