At the classroom door, he was the only one left... The only one...

Who can tell him what just happened?

"Tingye, wait for me!"

Jiang Nan snapped back to reality and hurriedly ran after them.

-

"Tingye, if we don’t wait for Jiang Nan, will he get mad?" Meimei tugged at her dress and asked, tilting her head.

Looking at the nanny car in front, and recalling what the little chubby Tang Ming said earlier, her big, bright eyes turned dim.

"Look, he’s caught up with us." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Dan Tingye casually slipped his hands into his pockets and spoke lazily.

Even though he was so young, he possessed a wisdom beyond his years.

His gaze fell on the sprinting Jiang Nan coming towards them, and a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

How could he not wait for Jiang Nan? Word of their fight at school was likely to have reached his father’s ears. Without Jiang Nan, who would take the fall for him?

"Let’s take Meimei home first." As soon as Dan Tingye got into the car, his cold aura instantly dissipated, and he smiled sweetly at the driver.

His seamless switch between acting cool and being cute was truly effortless.

"Mom says we’re visiting Grandpa tomorrow, so today I can go home with Tingye and visit Auntie first." Once in the car, the previously quiet Meimei suddenly spoke up.

Seeing the driver turn to look at her, she repeated considerately, "I’m going to sleep at Tingye’s house today!"

Only then did the driver confirm and start driving towards the private villa.

As soon as the car arrived at the villa.

The car door opened, and just as Dan Tingye was about to get out, someone tugged at his clothes.

Turning around, he saw Meimei sitting in the car, her little head bowed, as if struggling with something. After a long while, she finally spoke haltingly.

"Tingye, can you not tell mom?"

"What?" Dan Tingye was taken aback and looked at her puzzled.

"About the drawings being taken, can you not tell mom?" Meimei repeated.

Her big, watery eyes showed a hint of urgency.

"Mom will be sad!"

Seeing Dan Tingye not agreeing, Meimei hurriedly added, "I don’t want mom to be sad."

Every time she asked mom about dad, her mom would hide and cry alone.

If mom knew that the bad boy Tang Ming laughed at her for not having a dad and took her drawings, mom would surely be very sad.

Meimei was already three years old and had to take care of mom.

"I won’t say anything." Dan Tingye glanced at her and finally nodded.

He led her out of the car.

"What were you two talking about, why didn’t you tell me?" Jiang Nan, slinging his backpack over one shoulder, walked up unhappily.

"You want to know?" Dan Tingye’s eyes flickered, a sharp light flashing from their depths.

"If you can keep from telling others what happened today, I’ll tell you."

"..."

What does that mean?

What happened today? How come he himself didn’t know?!

Before Jiang Nan could react, the butler of the private villa hurriedly came forward.

"Young masters, Mr. Jie is waiting for you in the study."

After speaking, the butler looked at the well-behaved and pretty Meimei standing nearby and smiled warmly, "Little Miss doesn’t have to go; the nanny will take you to have some snacks. Miss Ye will be here soon."

"Thank you, Grandpa Butler."

Meimei was taken away by the nanny, and Dan Tingye and Jiang Nan followed the butler to the study.

It wasn’t until they entered Dan Hanjie’s study that the confused Jiang Nan finally understood what Dan Tingye meant by that statement.
