Chapter 1189: An Acquainted Younger Sister

Ye Wanting unfastened Wu Xiao’s seatbelt, and when she looked up, she met Yaen Chi’s unclear expression, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, “Brother Chi, I’ll help him.”

Yaen Chi released his hand, and the seatbelt snapped back.

Without saying a word, he pushed open the car door.

He just stood there, his hands in his pockets.

Watching Ye Wanting help that kid out.

Only when they reached the steps did he follow.

A call came in on his phone, he took a look at it and frowned subconsciously.

“Sister.”

“Hmm?” Ye Wanting turned her head.

When she saw Yaen Chi’s expression, she thought he was upset and quickly explained, “I didn’t mean anything else, I just think, he took a knife for me, I should do something for him, I’ll help him, Brother Chi, don’t be mad.”

Yaen Chi found it funny, what was he angry about?

Mad at this girl’s naivety?

He raised his phone, “You take him inside first, I’ll take a call.”

Ye Wanting glanced at the missed call on his screen, nodded, and helped Wu Xiao inside.

Yaen Chi stared at her as she said a few words to Wu Xiao, that kid was conscious enough to respond.

Knowing clearly Ye Wanting didn’t want to owe favors, nor was she ignoring him, after all, there is a difference between closeness and distance, and he Yaen Chi rightfully stood under “close.”

But damn, he just felt uneasy.

Why was it so irritating to see her supporting another man?

So much so that when he answered the call, his tone wasn’t great, “That news reached your ears so fast?”

There was a noticeable pause on the other side, and then the anger flared up, “You brat, is that how you talk to your ancestors?”

“By seniority, you’re my grandpa, an elder, but not quite an ancestor, take it easy, at your age, it’s a bit tricky.”

Staff Officer Li snorted, “Your son would have to call me an ancestor.”

Yaen Chi chuckled, looked around, didn’t see any benches by the flower terrace, and couldn’t be bothered to step out, so he just sat on the steps in front of the hospital.

He pulled out a cigarette and lit one.

“Why didn’t you reach out to me?” Staff Officer Li asked.

Yaen Chi said, “It’s a small matter, why would I come to you?

It’s not like I don’t have contacts in the Capital City.”

“Oh, quite proud, aren’t you, I saw the video, the young lady beside you, that’s the one you asked me to get into Capital Medical University?”

Yaen Chi: “Hmm.”

“Who is she to you?”

“Ye Wanting.”

“I mean, who is she to you?”

Yaen Chi: “An acquaintance’s younger sister.”

Staff Officer Li was stumped, “Looking for a beating, aren’t you, acting all rogue in front of me, what younger sister, it’s your fault for beating people like that, almost took a life.”

He thought for a while, came up with a description, “Like a mad dog.”

Yaen Chi sneered, “If you’re uneducated, you don’t have to describe it, anyway, after struggling all these years, your warrior image is well-ingrained in people’s hearts, now in your old age, why pretend to be a scholar, you’re just fooling the younger generation, everyone of your time knows what you’re about.”

“…”

The other end suddenly went silent.

In the first half of his life, Staff Officer Li fought wars, and in the latter half, he trained soldiers, a rough warrior indeed, but he was born into a scholarly family, and aside from him, everyone in the family was highly educated.

When he was young, he didn’t feel anything about it; after all, in ancient times, there were both scholarly and martial top scorers, wherever you excel, you’re a top scorer.

But as the years went by and he gradually retired, started mingling in circles, he realized how awkward it was to not have some cultural support.

When people mention Staff Officer Li, besides his brilliant lifelong achievements, it’s his stern and unsmiling demeanor.
