People came and went at the school gate, and the noise of the crowd rose and fell.

Lin Jianye looked down at Shen Ye beside him and asked softly, "Xiao Ye, have you packed your schoolbag and things?"

"I've kept everything, Uncle. I didn't forget anything." Shen Ye nodded obediently in response.

"That's good."

Lin Jianye nodded slightly, his gaze unconsciously falling on Chu Cihan, who was standing quietly to the side.

From the moment he arrived, the pretty little girl stood quietly to his side, her eyes fixed on him with a serious and stubborn gaze, without flinching at all.

A slight curiosity stirred within him, and he turned to Shen Ye, asking, "Xiao Ye, who is this?"

"She is my classmate, Chu Cihan."

Shen Ye gave a brief introduction, while secretly tugging at Chu Cihan's sleeve, signaling with her eyes not to stare at the elders, as it was impolite.

Chu Cihan completely ignored his hints, took the initiative to step forward, tilted her delicate face up, looked at Lin Jianye seriously, and asked, "You're Shen Ye's uncle?"

"Yes, that's me. What's wrong, little one?"

Lin Jianye was taken aback for a moment, then gently bent down, lowered his posture, and spoke to the little girl at eye level, his tone gentle and patient.

"I have something to do."

Chu Cihan nodded seriously, his little face full of solemnity, not at all like a child making a casual joke.

Her gaze was firm as she stared directly into Lin Jianye's eyes, speaking clearly and deliberately, "Uncle, you must take good care of Shen Ye. If your family isn't well-off enough to support him, send him to my house, and we'll take care of him!"

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Shen Ye's pupils dilated, and he panicked instantly.

"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about!"

He was so frightened that he immediately reached out and covered Chu Cihan's mouth, afraid that the girl would utter some more earth-shattering and outrageous statement.

He then quickly pressed Chu Cihan's head down and bowed deeply to Lin Jianye in apology.

"Uncle, I'm sorry! She's a little out of it today and was just saying things she shouldn't have. Please don't take it seriously!"

Seeing Shen Ye's flustered and embarrassed appearance, Lin Jianye couldn't help but laugh out loud, waving his hands repeatedly: "It's alright, it's alright, the kid was just saying it casually, uncle doesn't mind."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Ye, whose face was flushed, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"But you, Xiaoye, are quite young, yet a young girl has offered to take care of you. You're much more impressive than your uncle was back then."

Shen Ye froze on the spot, his mind blank, completely unsure how to respond.

"Cherish the young lady's feelings." Lin Jianye raised his hand and gently touched Shen Ye's hair, his tone both teasing and sentimental.

He then turned to Chu Cihan and gently assured her, "Don't worry, little girl, Uncle will take good care of Shen Ye and won't let him suffer any grievances."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Chu Cihan nodded solemnly, completely ignoring Shen Ye's resentful gaze beside him, and spoke to Lin Jianye in a generous, composed, and unassuming manner.

This scene, however, surprised Lin Jianye.

He has been in business for many years and has a calm and composed aura. Most children would feel reserved and shy in his presence.

But the young girl in front of me spoke clearly and confidently, without the slightest hint of timidity.

However, he simply assumed it was just a child's natural boldness and didn't think much of it.

"It's getting late, we should go home."

Lin Jianye took Shen Ye's hand and turned to walk towards the parking area outside the school gate.

"Goodbye." Shen Ye turned around and waved goodbye to Chu Cihan gently.

Chu Cihan also raised her little hand and obediently waved in response, her gaze fixed on Shen Ye's back.

The two had only walked a dozen meters when a clear and loud shout suddenly came from behind them.

"Shen Ye—!"

Shen Ye paused, sighing helplessly in his heart.

What's this girl up to now?

He instinctively turned around to look.

In the evening breeze at the school gate, Chu Cihan cupped his hands to his mouth, making a megaphone shape, stood on tiptoe, and shouted at the top of his lungs in his direction:

"Once you go to your new school, you absolutely cannot let anyone bully you! You'll continue to be my slave! No backing out!"

The voice was clear and resonant, penetrating the crowd and echoing clearly in the ears of everyone at the school gate.

In an instant, the hustle and bustle at the school gate fell silent.

Shen Ye froze, his scalp tingled, and he was completely stunned by those words.

He felt like dying!

"Uncle, let's go! We need to get out of here quickly!"

Shen Ye blushed and her face burned with embarrassment. She held onto Lin Jianye's hand tightly, not daring to look back, and ran quickly toward the car.

But it was too late.

The parents, teachers, and students who hadn't left yet heard everything he said.

Countless gazes fell upon Shen Ye, their eyes filled with strange expressions, and a dense murmur of discussion arose.

"Kids these days are so clever! They're so young and already have master-servant titles?"

"No wonder she's so good-looking; she's been popular since she was little."

"That little boy's face is absolutely stunning, no wonder the little girl is so obsessed with him..."

A series of meaningful gazes swept over him, like small flames, making Shen Ye feel uneasy.

He felt as if he had been stripped naked in public, standing in a crowd being stared at, feeling so embarrassed he wanted to disappear.

After finally getting into the car, Shen Ye kept his head down and covered his face the whole time, not daring to look up.

Even Lin Jianye in the driver's seat looked at him with a strong sense of mockery and strangeness.

"That damned Chu Cihan!"

Shen Ye gritted his teeth and secretly vowed that he would personally get his revenge sooner or later!

"Alright, alright, stop being so angry."

As Lin Jianye started the car, he chuckled and teased, "Kids don't know any better. They just said a few things offhand. There's no need to take it to heart. The girl is so bossy, but ultimately it's because she doesn't want you to leave and cares about you."

"Who cares about people this much..." Shen Ye sighed helplessly, completely giving up.

"You'll get used to it."

Looking through the rearview mirror at the boy's exquisite and outstanding features, which had fully matured, Lin Jianye couldn't help but secretly marvel.

At only eleven years old, his features were already exquisitely perfect, and his temperament was clean and aloof, making him exceptionally handsome.

Shen Ye's father was a famous handsome man in his youth, known as the "Little Yanzu of Huaihai". Unexpectedly, his son has surpassed his father in looks, completely overshadowing him.

When he grows up, who knows how many young girls will fall for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianye felt a surge of relief.

Fortunately, her daughter Lin Chunuan is also well-behaved, cute, and beautiful. It would be a wonderful thing if the two children could grow up together.

As he was thinking, Lin Jianye suddenly paused.

and many more……

Did he forget something important?

The next second, Lin Jianye's expression changed drastically!

"Oh no!! I forgot to pick Nuannuan up from school!"

He hurriedly looked down at the car's time display—4:45 PM!

School normally ends at 4:00 PM!

My daughter has been waiting at the school gate for a full forty-five minutes, almost an hour!

"Hold on tight, Xiaoye! Uncle's driving faster, let's get there!"

Lin Jianye panicked instantly, quickly fastened his seatbelt, and slammed on the gas pedal, almost launching the car forward.

But after rushing for only two meters, he suddenly realized that this was a section of road in front of an elementary school, with a large flow of people, and he couldn't speed at all.

I could only force myself to slow down, feeling extremely anxious.

Oh no, my daughter's definitely going to be angry and throw a tantrum now. I'll have to coax her when we get home...

He rubbed his temples, his mind filled with thoughts of how to comfort the little girl.
