Chapter 1073: Goodbye Brother

Any other time and place, if he said this, Ye Wanting would only think he was flirting.

But why does his expression seem a bit sad?

Ye Wanting instinctively took a step closer to him, spread her arms wide, and hugged him.

Yaen Chi was stunned for two seconds, and then hugged her back, resting his chin in her shoulder nook.

The space between them could fit two fists, his arms circled her, seemingly loosely, but in fact, his hands were clutching her clothes very tightly.

All the tension was in his own body, veins standing out on the back of his hand.

Just a brief hug.

Before separating, Yaen Chi patted her back, as if comforting a child.

“Okay, that’s enough.”

“Hmm?”

When they parted, Ye Wanting looked up, puzzled, because she hadn’t clearly heard what he said just now.

Yaen Chi’s expression remained unchanged, “Stay in touch when you can, study well.”

But he clearly hadn’t said that just now.

Ye Wanting didn’t ask.

She nodded, reached down with her hand, and Yaen Chi seemed to immediately understand, taking hold of the suitcase handle, dragging the suitcase over and handing it to her.

After that, she strode away.

Standing in front of the ticket gate entrance, she turned around and waved at him, “Goodbye, brother.”

Yaen Chi hesitated for a moment, then smiled with relief, pulling his hand from his pocket to wave back at her.

Then, as she watched, he turned and walked away.

Outside the airport, the driver’s window lowered, Mo Tingshen, with a cigarette between his fingers, was smoking just as Yaen Chi came out.

His dark eyes squinted habitually, scrutinizing Yaen Chi’s expression, and laughed amidst the exhaled smoke.

“Well done!”

Yaen Chi glanced at him, pulled open the car door, and got in.

Mo Tingshen deliberately glanced at his watch, “It’s not even boarding time yet.

I thought you’d watch her walk away before coming out.

Have your doting instincts not awakened or what?”

Yaen Chi leaned back in the seat, raising his right leg to rest on the other.

He lit up a cigarette, hesitated momentarily at Mo Tingshen’s words, and frowned impatiently, “What aspect made you, the top doting expert, smell the scent of your kind?”

Alright, mutual harm it is.

Mo Tingshen’s expression paused for a second, disdainfully saying, “Still relying on smell?

To get her into Capital Medical University, you even agreed to unequal treaties.

Those conditions proposed by the old chief of staff, each one demanding an inch…

You didn’t even blink.

He’s hounded you for years without concession, yet you placed the leverage he has over you right under his eyes.”

Yaen Chi awkwardly turned his head and huffed, “Agreed for now, didn’t say wouldn’t back out.”

“You?”

Mo Tingshen expressed his disbelief, “Capital Medical University is under the military; you can’t get in without connections.

Try backing out once; the old chief of staff can withhold Wanting’s graduation certificate, believe it or not.”

Yaen Chi suddenly choked on a puff of smoke, “Oh come on, he wouldn’t be that low, would he?”

Mo Tingshen looked at him as if he were a fool.

Originally, Staff Officer Li had no hold over Yaen Chi.

Now with Ye Wanting appearing out of nowhere, if that’s not leverage, what is?

If more excessive demands are made in the future, Yaen Chi will have to comply.

Living well, why put shackles on yourself?

Yaen Chi certainly sees all this.

He’s no fool; sending Ye Wanting there, no matter how the old chief interrogates, he won’t reveal their relationship, just lets the old man guess.

Eventually, one day he’ll be unable to resist wanting to meet Ye Wanting himself.
