The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 16 - 0, Wuye: I’ll teach you.

Wei Bei had his head full of black lines, "..."

Did the Ye Family produce some sort of oddity?

Geddit, Ye Jiuliang felt the light above her head dim.

She looked up just as the man bent down, and their gazes met in midair, "On purpose?"

"Thanks for the high regard, Li fifth master, but I was born with limited talent, and I guess learning and I aren’t really meant to be," Ye Jiuliang replied with a light chuckle, skillfully deflecting.

"Who wants to be bald if they have hair, right? Failing an exam shouldn’t be considered a glorious thing, right?"

Li Mochan spoke in a deep, suppressed voice, "Beisen Academy doesn’t keep students who just goof off. You should be aware of that, shouldn’t you?"

Ye Jiuliang nodded, her eyes curving with a smile, "To avoid holding Beisen Academy back, if you, Li fifth master, wish to expel me, I’m ready to accept it."

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, her face all but spelling out "Hurry up and expel me."

Li Mochan’s gaze grew dark, "Considering old Mr. Ye’s face, you should still be able to stay at Beisen until graduation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile at the corner of Ye Jiuliang’s mouth froze for a few seconds.

Fixated on the excessively handsome face in front of her, Ye Jiuliang leaned in close, her smile playful, "I’ve heard Li fifth master is famous for his high IQ. How about this, you teach me, and I’ll surely be a good student."

The academic god of Beisen Academy, so I’ve heard.

Caught off guard by her proximity, Li Mochan’s gaze suddenly turned dark, "Repeat that last sentence again."

The tension was palpable, ready to ignite at any moment.

Wei Bei held his breath, on the verge of becoming a complete mess.

Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or had his master been switched out with someone?

Ye Jiuliang wasn’t scared, her voice soft and sweet as she repeated, "I’ll surely be a good student."

"Good," Li Mochan said, his tone cool.

"???"

Now it was Ye Jiuliang’s turn to be dumbfounded.

Her expression relaxed slightly, why wasn’t he following the script?

Shouldn’t he be storming out in a rage after being provoked by her and then expelling her from Beisen in a fit?

What happened to the rumored aloofness and untouchability?

Catching the brief surprise in her eyes, Li Mochan’s lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile.

"Uh, I was just kidding just now," Ye Jiuliang touched her nose and forced a laugh, "Happy April Fools’, I’ve got to go take care of something."

Before she finished speaking, she sprang up, ready to run.

She was fast, but Li Mochan was faster.

With a sweep of his long legs, the door to the office slammed shut.

Ye Jiuliang stopped in her tracks, her delicate face squeezing out a smile, "Do you need something else, Li fifth master?"

"Starting tomorrow, apart from your major subjects, you’ll come to my office for tutoring during the rest of the time," Li Mochan said calmly.

Ye Jiuliang replied with a forced smile, "I’ve given it some thought, and I just got carried away earlier. I was born with dull wits, so please don’t bother, Li fifth master."

She couldn’t shake off the feeling that she had shot herself in the foot.

Li Mochan asked, "Scared?"

"Provocation doesn’t work on me," she wasn’t falling for that trick. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The man suddenly stepped forward, causing Ye Jiuliang to instinctively take a step back.

Stopping his steps, Li Mochan leaned over, their gazes leveling, "If you’re scared, just admit it. For the sake of old Mr. Ye’s face, no matter how slow you are, I can still reluctantly let you stay until you graduate."

His crimson lips were perfection itself, but the words he uttered were aggravating.

A flicker of defiance passed through Ye Jiuliang’s indifferent eyes, and when she looked up again, her lips curved, her smile bold, "Then please do teach me, Li fifth master."

She was actually curious to see who would end up infuriated to the point of lashing out.

Wanting her to stay here until graduation was really...

So difficult!

The two of them, word against word, suddenly reached some kind of unspoken agreement.

Wei Bei was left slack-jawed.

Who is he, where is he.

His master wants to be Ye Jiuliang’s tutor?

What a joke.

Has the world turned fantasy?

No, he has to tell Wei Dong and the others, it’s too horrifying.

Ye Jiuliang took a step back, discreetly widening the distance between them, "Can I go now?"

"There’s still a blank test paper." The man switched back to his sparing words mode.

Ye Jiuliang shrugged, "I don’t know how."

He asked her, "Which question don’t you know?"

"All of them."

"I’ll teach you." His calm voice was deep and resonant.

Ye Jiuliang secretly gritted her teeth, so they were at an impasse, huh?

After thinking it over, she responded with a smile, "Sure."

She walked back and sat down on the small sofa, while Li Mochan pulled over a chair and sat down beside her.

His long legs clothed in suit pants casually crossed, failing to hide his innate nobility and elegance.

Ye Jiuliang twirled her pen, tilting her head and boldly appreciating someone’s good looks.

There’s an old saying, "Blue-faced beauties are a disaster."

Indeed, it suited the man before her very well.

Li Mochan glanced at the test paper, his thin lips parting slightly, "The riskiness of financial assets..." His low and mellow voice, like the deep notes of a cello, mesmerized listeners, making Ye Jiuliang think that with such a voice, he would certainly be a ’King’ level voice actor.

"Did you understand?"

Ye Jiuliang snapped back to reality, her eyes innocent, "No."

After her response, Wei Bei almost burst into laughter.

She didn’t understand, so was her previous serious look just for laughs?

Meeting the girl’s clear eyes, Li Mochan frowned, patiently asking, "Which part didn’t you understand?"

"I didn’t understand any of it," she replied instantly.

Li Mochan’s eyes darkened, suddenly bowing his head, his warm breath spraying on her face, "Pretending to be dumb, huh?"

"Wanting to leave Beisen?"

Two questions in a row, his voice growing deeper.

Ye Jiuliang laughed fearlessly, "With someone as entertaining as Master Li in Beisen, why would I want to leave?"

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Until the phone alarm sounded.

"Beep beep beep—"

Ye Jiuliang reached into her pocket, switched off the alarm, and then stood up.

"Master Li, I have another engagement, I’ll come back to consult you on this test paper another day," she said cheerily.

Li Mochan glanced at the still blank test paper and then at the time on his watch, humming softly in acknowledgment.

The next second, Ye Jiuliang dashed out at lightning speed.

Those unaware might think a ghost was chasing her.

Wei Bei, "..."

Was his master really that terrifying?

"Master, Principal Jin and the others are already waiting in the conference room," he reminded with a light cough.

Li Mochan’s thin lips pressed tightly together as he stood up, his tall figure rising.

Walking out of the office, Wei Bei’s expression was somewhat strange.

His gaze kept falling on the crumpled test paper in Li Mochan’s hand.

In the sunlight, the bright red fifty-nine was especially conspicuous.
