Though I don't understand why Guan Su Lin gave such instructions, I decided to follow them to avoid provoking him and facing the consequences.
In the lounge, Guan Su Lin had one arm draped over Zheng Mengni's shoulder, holding her close while his other hand swiped through the screen, carefully selecting photos from earlier.
"Which one do you think is good? I really can't choose; I like them all too much," he said.
Zheng Mengni casually pointed at one but was sincere in her response. "This one is great."
Guan Su Lin couldn't help but praise her. "Zheng Zheng, you have such good taste! Then I'll post this one."
Zheng Mengni was compliant and eager to please. "Mm-hmm, go ahead and post it."
Just as she finished speaking, she remembered something and grabbed Guan Su Lin's arm. "Wait a minute!"
Guan Su Lin had already posted the photo on various social media platforms and turned to her with a smile. "What’s up?"
Feeling a bit guilty, Zheng Mengni asked, "Is it necessary for me to post it too?"
Guan Su Lin replied gently, "No pressure, no pressure at all." He was so understanding and never engaged in any coercive behavior.
In the city, Rong Shu stared for a long time before asking expressionlessly, "Why did you go so easy today?"
Ye Bing removed his bloodstained gloves and stepped forward to gently brush the frost and snow off Rong Shu's shoulder.
He reported seriously, "Godfather, he hit me in the face."
Rong Shu gave him a heartfelt lecture. "It's normal to have some scuffles when sparring. A real man shouldn't be too surprised by that."
"But I'm not..." Ye Bing's voice was very soft, but he firmly added, "I need to keep my face intact to pursue my girlfriend. How else will I leave a good impression for you in the future?"
"What do you mean you're not?" Rong Shu looked shocked and lit a cigarette to calm himself.
Ye Bing didn't dare to speak further.
Rong Shu assumed he was just too young and full of youthful vigor. "A man should stand tall; don’t spend every day thinking about getting a wife and kids. Focus on something useful. A hundred years from now when I’m gone, you’ll inherit my wealth—what do you want that you can't have?"
He stood in the mist, his voice calm and unassuming, smiling casually: "I don't have such lofty ambitions; I take your career very seriously."
Rong Shu suddenly recalled something, disbelief in his eyes as he asked, "So you’re following me for...?"
Ye Bing felt a bit embarrassed and chuckled softly.
Rong Shu's gaze turned profound as he kicked him lightly: "You, when you first arrived, had ambition written all over your face. I thought you had grand aspirations, but it turns out you just want to save money to support a woman."
"It's not about supporting; it's about wanting to be worthy of her," Ye Bing replied earnestly, his demeanor shifting from playful to serious, a stark contrast to his earlier attitude.
"I can't wait a hundred years for you; I can't let the princess come out of her castle to live a hard life with me."
Rong Shu laughed and scolded, "Sounds like you can’t wait for me to die early."
"How could that be?" Ye Bing spoke softly. "It's just that I don’t want to enjoy the fruits without effort."
He smiled: "If she can see me as worthy, then I would gladly give my all, wealth and honor included."
Rong Shu was taken aback, then fell silent, his gaze never leaving Ye Bing.
This rare talent was not only wise beyond his years but also possessed an unusual depth of character. After mingling in the tumultuous world for so long, Rong Shu had never admired any young person quite like this.
Ye Bing was exceptionally gifted yet remained humble and low-key. His methods appeared ruthless and decisive, but he was actually warm and generous.
What kind of girl could make Ye Bing feel unworthy?
Rong Shu was curious but refrained from probing further due to personal matters.
Ye Bing poured a cup of tea for Rong Shu and said respectfully, "Godfather, if I can complete this mission to your satisfaction, could you consider letting me handle the business affairs of the country?"
Rong Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise: "You know my focus is on the city; how many people are trying desperately to get in? And here you are thinking of running so far away—are you not planning to find yourself a wife?"
Ye Bing chuckled leisurely: "It's precisely because it's so far that I'm a bit worried; I want to go take a look."
