Li Ziling did a twirl in front of the mirror, then went out and arrived at Chen Jie's door.
Knock, knock, knock…
The door was knocked.
Li Ziling organized her words, thinking about what excuse to use.
With a creak, the door opened.
Li Ziling lowered her head, feeling a bit shy.
"You are…"
Suddenly, an elegant voice sounded in her ear.
Li Ziling trembled all over, only then realizing that her gaze fell upon a pair of high-heeled feet. Looking up, she saw smooth, beautiful legs, a pretty dress, a slender figure, and a perfect face, all presented before Li Ziling.
Li Ziling was instantly thrown into a panic.
He Yifei looked at Li Ziling, lost in thought, "Are you looking for Chen Jie?"
Li Ziling felt as if she had been caught red-handed doing something wrong, her face extremely embarrassed.
But she forced herself to remain calm, "Ah… yes, I am…"
"Chen Jie is taking a shower. You can come in and wait for a while," He Yifei said with a smile.
"He's taking a shower… then never mind. I, I'll come back tomorrow. I'll be going now."
Li Ziling fled in a panic, and with a bang, closed the door.
She touched her cheeks, finding them burning as if on fire.
"So, he really just sees me as a sister."
"Ah! No, isn't she that CEO He from today?" Li Ziling exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent.
Could it be that Chen Jie's girlfriend is the big boss?
Thinking of this, Li Ziling felt a surge of inexplicable anger. She couldn't help but tear off her clothes and cut them in half with scissors.
"I'll never wear them again."
…
Meanwhile, Chen Jie, after his shower, also learned from He Yifei about Li Ziling's visit.
Chen Jie had intended to go and inquire.
But considering it was so late, and it wouldn't be convenient for her as a woman, he decided against it.
He Yifei tonight was dressed very differently from the daytime. She had shed her suit and changed into a dress.
Her elegant face added a touch of real beauty.
"Chen Jie, is this the person you said you wanted to protect? She's quite shy!" He Yifei said, her face slightly flushed.
Chen Jie nodded, "Women are all the same."
Seeing Chen Jie looking at her a few extra times, He Yifei secretly rejoiced.
Then she took out some documents and said, "I contacted several entertainment companies this afternoon. Their selling prices are very low, but their influence isn't as great as Shengshi Entertainment Company's."
"No need to trouble yourself. Just wait. It won't be long before the boss of Shengshi Company will be begging you to acquire it," Chen Jie said calmly.
He Yifei was somewhat puzzled by Chen Jie's confidence.
But she didn't ask any further questions.
"Oh, right, Boss. Before I came, Miss Tang Ruotong of the Kang family asked me to bring you some jade stones."
He Yifei seemed to recall something and quickly rummaged through her bag. After a moment, she produced several pieces of top-quality jade.
Chen Jie glanced at them, feeling a little surprised.
These jade stones were all capable of being made into permanent protective magical artifacts.
They were incredibly valuable.
"She said it's her thank you for you taking care of their family's business recently," He Yifei said.
Chen Jie nodded and accepted them.
"When you see them next time, please thank the Tang family for me," Chen Jie said.
"Okay."
"It's getting late. Shall we go to sleep?"
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Chen Jie could only say to He Yifei.
He Yifei's face turned red upon hearing this.
She had clearly misunderstood Chen Jie's meaning and nodded, "I, I'll go take a shower first."
Chen Jie nodded, said nothing, and went directly back to his bedroom.
A moment later, He Yifei, wrapped in a towel, pushed open the door and walked in.
"What are you doing?" Chen Jie asked.
"Ah, Chen Jie, aren't we, aren't we going to sleep?" He Yifei said, her face bright red.
"There are two other rooms here. Didn't you see me sleeping here? You should find another one," Chen Jie thought to himself, wondering if she was an idiot.
He Yifei finally realized she had misunderstood Chen Jie.
With a blush, she retreated.
As she reached the doorway, He Yifei let out a cry, and the towel slipped from her body.
She quickly bent down to pick it up, glanced back at Chen Jie shyly, and ran away swiftly.
Chen Jie stared at her retreating figure, a sense of relief washing over him.
He had almost failed to resist calling He Yifei to stay with him just now.
After all, any normal man would find it hard to resist such a perfect woman revealing herself in front of him.
"Who?"
Just as he was contemplating, a murderous aura suddenly appeared on Chen Jie's face.
Silently, he went to the living room and walked towards the door.
Just now, he had sensed someone approaching.
Upon reaching the door, he indeed saw a dark figure fleeing into the distance.
"Stop!" Chen Jie shouted lowly and immediately chased after him.
Not long after, he caught up with the person outside.
"Still trying to run? You're looking for death!"
Chen Jie leaped up, his speed instantly exploding. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the other person.
Just as he was about to palm the uninvited guest, the other person suddenly turned around, "Chen Jie, it's me!"
"Tong Hao!"
Seeing the face of the other person, Chen Jie was shocked and quickly withdrew his hand.
"Team Leader Tong, what are you doing? Luckily I stopped in time today, or you would have been crippled by my palm," Chen Jie said, displeased.
"Cough, cough… I mainly wanted to test your alertness. Well done, you discovered me as soon as I approached Li Ziling. You indeed have the ability to protect Li Ziling."
Tong Hao was secretly alarmed. He had originally intended to quietly sneak up on Chen Jie to warn Chen Jie to be vigilant even at night.
But he had been discovered by Chen Jie before he had even moved towards the door.
This was impossible in his eyes.
Because in the Dragon Team, his abilities had always been known for their stealth.
He didn't know that Chen Jie, who was about to ascend to the eighth level of Qi Refining, had a sense of perception that was incomparable to ordinary martial artists.
When he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would be able to generate spiritual sense.
At that time, no matter how much he concealed himself, he would be completely exposed within Chen Jie's spiritual sense range.
"You've tested me, and I need to raise some issues with you. Right now, I'm the only one guarding Li Ziling, and I can't follow her constantly. What if someone takes advantage of my absence to attack Li Ziling?" Chen Jie said, displeased.
Tong Hao smiled and said, "Chen Jie, don't rush. We've already thought about this problem. Tomorrow, a new special character will enter the school. Then you two will take turns guarding her, and your pressure will be much less."
Chen Jie nodded.
He remembered Cai Ni mentioning that a professional dance teacher would be coming to Class Seven tomorrow. It seemed this dance teacher would have the same identity as him.
