Chapter 325: Old Master’s Entrustment

"Eh? Heh..." After glancing at Luo Shuixi, Leng Xuan’s expression shifted subtly, not expecting her to possess such a talent in cooking. However, he couldn’t shake off an uncomfortable feeling around this girl. Regardless, Elder Luo had once done him a solid favor, and it wouldn’t be polite to refuse his request for a phone number. So he recited his mobile number to her.

"Xi’er, Grandpa didn’t bring his cell phone. Write down Young Brother Leng’s number for me, and tell it to me later when we get back," said Luo Qianzhang.

Luo Shuixi felt a bit awkward inside. Her grandfather was already on brotherly terms with Leng Xuan, which technically made her two generations younger than him. Strictly speaking, she would have to call him Little Grandpa Leng, which was both frustrating and amusing. However, she had been worrying about how to get closer to Leng Xuan, and now with this perfect opportunity, she wouldn’t voice any objections. Pulling out her phone from her little bag, she saved Leng Xuan’s number and dialed it once on the spot to confirm it was correct, and then said, "All set, Grandpa!"

"Mhm, good!" Luo Qianzhang thought of something and turned to Ling Tian, asking, "Elder Ling, what’s your relationship with Young Brother Leng?"

Ling Tian laughed and replied, "We’re friends despite the age difference. Alright, Leng Xuan, shall we go?"

Leng Xuan hummed in agreement, bid Elder Luo farewell with a "Goodbye, sir," and left with the Old Master.

In the Mercedes, Uncle Liu was driving, the Old Master sat in the passenger seat, and Ling Ao and his wife were in the backseat.

Ling Ao asked with a smile, "Dad, what were you and Leng Xuan talking about just now?"

The Old Master frowned and said, "Nothing much. Ling Ao, remember this: don’t be fooled by Leng Xuan’s young age; he is by no means a simple character. After I’m gone, you must treat him well, understand?"

Ling Ao felt slightly puzzled, unsure why the Old Master held Leng Xuan in such high regard. The tone didn’t seem to stem from gratitude for Leng Xuan saving him. What other reasons could there be? He nodded his head, unable to defy the Old Master’s instructions and, in truth, he had taken quite a liking to Leng Xuan. He smiled and said, "Dad, don’t worry. Even without your words, I’d treat him well."

Madame Ren felt somewhat displeased after hearing this, but she forced a smile and said, "Dad, there’s something I’m not sure if I should bring up."

Ling Tian responded indifferently, "Speak your mind. We’re all family here."

Madame Ren hesitated, aware that the Old Master might still be upset with her over Leng Xuan, and sighed before saying, "Dad, I’m just thinking, Xue Jiu isn’t getting any younger. If people find out she’s living with a bodyguard, it might not be good for her reputation."

Annoyance flickered across Ling Tian’s face as he scoffed, "A bodyguard? Do you think he’s just a bodyguard?"

Madame Ren furrowed her brows, puzzled, and asked, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

The Old Master was very irritated, and he felt it was necessary to clarify some things; otherwise, his daughter-in-law might give Leng Xuan trouble in the future. He snorted and said, "You don’t need to know too much, just understand that Leng Xuan is not someone you can afford to offend. Not even I would dare to cross him. He stays by Xue Jiu’s side solely out of respect for an old friend of mine from days past. Now, do you understand?"
