Chapter 1552: Chapter 1567: Naked Threat

"But honestly, Young Master Mu, even though I, Tang Huacheng, don’t care much for my teaching position at Nan University, I do cherish talent. A hardworking student like An Ran, I really admire her..."

"So what?"

The other party interrupted Tang Huacheng, and even through the phone, the cold, displeased tone was unmistakable.

"So I was thinking, should I give up such a capable student? Among the dozens of kids under me, only Lu Yi and An Ran have rare medical talent. If I could train them and have them join my research team, my projects might advance quicker. Unfortunately, Lu Yi is definitely going back to take over the Lu Family business. Do you also want me to give up my only prized student?"

Tang Huacheng complained into the phone, trying to use his sincerity to move the other person.

But...

"Now you have two choices: either get An Ran’s transfer procedures sorted for me, or be prepared to stop your research project and enjoy your retirement." The man’s cold voice carried not a trace of emotion.

"Threats, blatant threats," Tang Huacheng gritted his teeth. He knew that this guy’s gentleness and thoughtfulness were reserved for just one person. But towards them, those who had weathered storms together and shared brotherhood and ideals, he remained the same black-bellied person.

"By the way, a heads-up, you might also need to sort out Xiao Xiao’s transfer procedures. You’ll be notified when that needs to be done." With that, ignoring the gritted teeth on the other end, Mu Xingfeng directly hung up the phone.

Tang Huacheng stared at his phone, the call now ended, and thought about how his two promising talents would soon all get transferred away, making him grind his teeth in anger. In the end, he could only walk circles in his office three times to relieve his almost bursting emotions.

The last class was self-study. An Ran finished her homework for the day and organized her notes, showing no sign of planning to take a long leave.

Lu Yi nudged her arm, "Did you talk to Old Tang? He didn’t make it difficult for you, did he?"

An Ran didn’t even lift her head as she hummed, "I talked to him. Old Tang is really nice. Initially, I was worried the school might have some rule against students getting married. But Old Tang told me directly that marriage is a personal freedom of adults, and they have the autonomy."

Thinking of Tang Huacheng’s tense expression at the time made An Ran want to laugh. At that moment, she didn’t think much of it, but later she realized that Tang Huacheng, like others, must also be in awe of Mu Xingfeng.

What kind of man has managed to scare everyone around him like this, yet still has so many friends? It’s really remarkable.

Lu Yi stared at her profile, seeing from this angle her slightly upturned lips and smiling eyes.

It was visible that she was in a good mood.

And rightly so, with someone like Young Master Mu protecting her, who would dare trouble her?

It’s a good thing. As long as he sees her happy, he’s content. Isn’t love supposed to be selfless?

Finally, Lu Yi took out the small box from his backpack. He knew that if he didn’t give it now, he might never have the chance to give it away. 𝐟𝑟ⅇ

"An Ran, this is my wedding gift to you. I wish you and Young Master Mu a lifetime of happiness."

An Ran was writing in her notebook when a delicate little box suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"A gift too?" An Ran smiled, put down her pen, and took the box from Lu Yi. "Thank you, Lu Yi."
