This was Mr. Corinton! Yet he was willing to put forward all his laurels in exchange for Yun Jian to take him as her disciple!
Ge Xuan was completely dumbstruck and he stood frozen on the spot. He thought that Yun Jian would definitely say yes to Corinton only for the girl to reject him directly, “Nope.”
Ge Xuan was hit with another bafflement. He thought that someone significant like Corinton would then be furious when Yun Jian rejected him. In fact, the man did take in a deep breath.
He had just puffed up his chest before Ge Xuan saw him shaking his butt as he looked at Yun Jian like an innocent child and blurted easily, “No, no. Accept me, I’ll be good. I’ll run errands for you. I’ll do anything…”
It raised goosebumps all over Ge Xuan. An old man with a foot almost stepping in the coffin was shaking his butt and acting cute to a young girl—just picturing the scene made one shudder.
Corinton tried to grab Yun Jian’s arm as he shook his butt to ramp up the cutesy act. It was just that his hand was grabbed by another leaner and muscular palm before he could touch Yun Jian’s arm.
Si Yi’s baritone voice rang icily, “Don’t touch her.”
Other than himself, he disallowed any opposite sex from touching Yun Jian, even if it was an old man.
Corinton was over 1.9 meters and was slightly taller than Si Yi but there was nothing commanding about him as he faced the young man. Si Yi was 1.85 meter in height but Corinton was unable to tower over him even if he was a little taller than him.
Corinton’s presence dropped several notches in front of Si Yi. The latter’s domineering aura had even forced him to lower his head. He retracted his arm in reflex.
Ge Xuan’s jaw nearly dropped as he watched the scene.
Ultimately, the few of them went back to Ge Junjian’s house when Qin Yirou called out to them. It was already late. After Qin Yirou cleaned up Ge Junjian’s home and left some reminders for Ge Xuan, she took Yun Jian and Si Yi home.
Yun Jian asked Corinton to take care of his accommodation on his own, and Ge Xuan invited the man to stay with him directly. Consequently, the man stayed in Ge Xuan’s home now.
The next day was Sunday where Yun Jian had to go for the revision session in the evening.
When she went to school for the evening revision session, Zhang Shaofeng was already back. He had only applied for a week’s leave while Chen Xinyi would only be back after a month.
The week passed without much happening. Yun Jian was relatively serious in class this week and had even completed the homework the teachers had assigned. Yun Jian not doing her homework was so common that when she did them and submitted them this time, the teachers in the office were surprised.
A week went by in the blink of an eye. It was soon Qingming Festival. Said festival was one of the important traditional festivals in Country Z, so schools were normally off for three days.
Since Qingming Festival fell on a Thursday, schools were dismissed in the afternoon of Wednesday. It was just that Yun Jian’s school resumed the evening revision session on Saturday night.
When school was dismissed on Wednesday, Yun Jian, Zhang Shaofeng and Zhang Jian left the school ground with their bags. Just as they stepped out of the gate, Yun Jian saw Ge Xuan waving at her from opposite of the road.
As Ge Xuan watched Yun Jian walk over to him, he told her cheerily, “Sis, we’re going to race at Longmen City’s racing place tonight, test out the Maserati Mr. Corinton’s modified for me. Do you want to come to watch us race?”
