Chapter 1716: Ding Dong, Your Mighty Jinli Is Online 7

Why did the housekeeper add the last sentence?

It’s really because too many tutors were hired for the young master.

Each time, the tutor would get pissed off and beg to stop teaching.

Or simply, the young master wouldn’t show up at home, disappearing for weeks at a time.

How could anyone teach like this?

Su Yan reached out to take the schedule.

Nodded.

“Alright.”

Then, she walked towards the dining area, pulled out a chair, and prepared to eat.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car outside.

Soon after, the front door was pushed open.

Su Yan took a bite of a meatball first.

Then she looked up.

And saw Huo Ci entering, dressed in black.

She had no idea what he had been up to.

Just judging by his outfit, it seemed like motorcycle gear.

As Huo Ci walked in, his gaze swept around.

He looked at Su Yan, who was eating at the dining table.

Huo Ci raised an eyebrow.

He walked towards Su Yan.

Su Yan thought he was going for the food.

Instead, the man walked straight up to her.

After giving her a once-over,

he spoke.

“Where did those clothes come from?”

Su Yan replied honestly,

“The house.”

He nodded thoughtfully.

“This time, you should be wearing clothes underneath, right?”

Saying this, he reached out and pulled at Su Yan’s collar.

It seemed like he wanted to look inside the collar.

But midway, his distinctly jointed fingers changed course.

With a snap, they pinched Su Yan’s cheek.

Su Yan was puzzled.

“What are you doing?”

He was feeling the soft texture.

Hmm, it looked quite soft, and indeed it was very soft to the touch.

Just as he was saying this,

Huo Ci’s phone rang.

To answer the call, he released her.

Soon, the call was answered.

“Speak.”

After listening to what was said on the other end, he rubbed his forehead.

“Got it.”

After he hung up with a snap,

when he looked up to see Su Yan again,

he found that she had moved to the other side to eat.

Far away from him.

He observed her.

His thin, cool lips curved into a smile.

“Teacher, when is the lesson?”

Su Yan ate a couple of bites of vegetables, looked up seriously.

“After eating?”

Huo Ci glanced at the time.

“By the time the teacher finishes eating, I won’t have any time left.”

What does this mean?

Isn’t he basically insisting that she teach now?

She paused in her eating.

Put down her chopsticks,

“Then, should I teach now?”

Huo Ci nodded.

Seeming to agree.

But soon, he hesitated, seemingly conflicted.

“But… I have something important to do, I have to go, so what should I do?”

Listening to this, Su Yan was silent.

Five minutes later.

The black car outside the villa started up.

In the back seat, Huo Ci sat, with Su Yan beside him.

Su Yan spoke up, seriously.

“Actually, we could have the lesson tomorrow.”

Huo Ci glanced at her.

“Tomorrow? Teacher wants to delay my learning? The day after tomorrow is a quiz; if I don’t do well again, it’ll be the teacher’s fault.”

Someone confidently shifted the blame.

Su Yan.

“…”

She hadn’t taught a single lesson, and out of nowhere, it all became her fault.

As she thought about it, she peeled a candy.

Just as it entered her mouth,

the scent of strawberry milk wafted out.

The person beside her,

“What are you eating?”

“Candy.”

“Is it good?”

“Mmm, not bad.”

Listening to her, Huo Ci,

braced against the seat with one hand, leaned closer to Su Yan.

The closer he got, the stronger the strawberry milk scent became.

In the dim car, the two were extremely close.

Then, she heard him whisper in her ear,
