Looking at Sheng Minglan's smile, Jing Yun knew that it was a poisonous but alluring candy.
So, he said, "You gained your freedom after so much effort. It will be a shame if you lose it because of me."
"I am just getting my business started. I really need an assistant by my side." Sheng Minglan knew Jing Yun was a very serious man. He would look stern every time he was teased. She felt so helpless. So, she changed her tone into a formal one.
"There are so many talented people in this world. I am sure you will find a very capable candidate that will suit your needs."
"Should I get a male assistant and spend all my time with him?"
Jing Yun was speechless.
"It is not a problem if he is a good man."
"But… What if he is like Will? Or Leng Feng?"
Sheng Minglan rebutted until Jing Yun could not say anything more. He admitted defeat. Now, Sheng Minglan was not in the Sheng family anymore, so she would not get protection from Huang Yao.
