Before getting into the car, while Han YunXi was still inside, KangXin looked at HuMing seriously.
Her gaze surprised HuMing; she appeared to be worried about something.
"Young Master, your relationship with the Han Family is worsening."
KangXin stated a fact. Despite the close relationships HuMing shared with Han YunXi and Han LiTian, an intangible barrier always stood between them due to Madam Han and Han ShuYi.
The wall was a deep divide known as 'close kin'.
HuMing was well aware of this fact. Thus, he wasn't overly anxious about managing his relationship with Han YunXi and Han Litian.
However, he had already given up on improving his relationship with Madam Han.
To put it bluntly, Madam Han solely focused on Han ShuYi. No matter what Han ShuYi wanted to do, she wholeheartedly backed him up.
HuMing had no intention of doing anything futile. But what surprised him was that this concern came from KangXin. It seemed she was genuinely worried about his situation.
Realizing this, HuMing smiled slightly and patted KangXin on the head.
"Don't worry, your Young Master has his ways. You only need to focus on studying at home."
Noticing HuMing's self-assured demeanor, KangXin suddenly realized that he had thoroughly prepared himself and was only waiting for the perfect opportunity. She silently nodded and watched as HuMing left the villa.
However, when she turned around, KangXin found Han ShuYi standing behind her.
Han ShuYi fixed his gaze on the maid standing before him, his eyes flickering between light and dark. KangXin served as HuMing's close maid. According to his mother, she was a beggar HuMing had brought back from outside.
Throughout his stay, Han ShuYi often saw KangXin dutifully assisting HuMing with many tasks. She most likely knew many of HuMing's secrets.
If he could take her away from HuMing, wouldn't it be easy to put HuMing under his control?
Han ShuYi considered this but realized that dealing with this seemingly insignificant maid would take too much time.
After all, KangXin had always exuded an air of tranquillity, seemingly unaffected by the worldly chaos around her. These individuals were often challenging to engage with. If handled without caution, it could potentially incur her displeasure.
With that in mind, Han ShuYi smiled at KangXin.
"I heard you've been taking care of HuMing for a long time. Thank you for your hard work."
Han ShuYi showed his usual smile, one that consistently captivated the household staff, leaving them uncertain about how to respond.
He was expecting a similar response from KangXin, but oddly enough, she was like a robot.
After a silent nod, KangXin turned and walked away. She didn't bother to utter a single word to Han ShuYi and left!
Han ShuYi hadn't expected to be made a fool by a tiny maid. It appeared that she had not taken his words seriously.
'She's just as annoying as HuMing!'
Han ShuYi gave KangXin a cold stare before getting into his dedicated car and leaving.
"Is there anything we should bring for the weekend?" Ye QiuXue asked as she walked beside HuMing, holding the student council documents.
As of late, the student council has been quite busy preparing for the upcoming school sports meet.
Unlike other schools, the student council at Ye QiuXue's school held significant authority, so her responsibilities were heavy.
The night before, she had to prepare the test papers for HuMing the next day, work late to finish some documents, and then squeeze in time to complete her homework.
If it were anyone else, they would have collapsed under the pressure.
But Ye QiuXue, a highly regarded student in the city, had grown accustomed to dealing with such intense pressure.
She let out a small yawn and blinked a few times to wake herself up.
HuMing turned to look at Ye QiuXue, a hint of worry crossing his face.
"President, were you out robbing last night?"
"You're the one that's out robbing! I just didn't get much sleep. It's nothing serious."
"Even so, you should rest well." HuMing was still worried.
After all, preparing test papers for him was unnecessary, yet Ye QiuXue was very responsible. And no matter how HuMing tried to persuade her, it was futile.
This made HuMing feel slightly embarrassed.
"Alright, alright. There's no need to worry about me. Tell me if there is anything else we need to bring over."
The distance between them was very close, and everyone had assumed they were friends by default.
It was astonishing. Given Ye QiuXue's personality, she had few friends, let alone someone like HuMing, who liked causing trouble. But that's how it turned out; the students have nothing to say.
Who would dare to tell Ye QiuXue not to be friends with HuMing?
Do you think your mind is sharper than hers?
We can talk about it after you get better grades than her!
With this mindset, everyone accepted the current situation.
"There's not much left to bring. After all, Grandpa does not want us to spend too much money, and the older generation still has a sense of dignity to uphold."
"Hmm? HuMing, you're considering other people's feelings now? It seems you've made significant progress recently."
"That's right. After all, who do you think is the one who taught me?!"
HuMing's smile widened, and Ye QiuXue beside him couldn't help but smile as well.
The scene was as pleasant as a spring breeze, and everything seemed just right.
But there is always one person who seems to enjoy disrupting such moments.
A familiar voice broke the atmosphere between the two. HuMing and Ye QiuXue turned their attention simultaneously.
There, LiYue was standing before them.
Seeing LiYue, Ye QiuXue couldn't help but be taken aback.
A few weeks ago, LiYue was still a girl who would timidly follow HuMing around.
Now, she looked fresh and confident, exuding a captivating presence. Ye QiuXue even felt that the mark on her face seemed insignificant.
HuMing had a similar thought. In this regard, he hadn't done as well as Han ShuYi.
After all, Han ShuYi was the protagonist, and redemption was a
Only someone with a protagonist's halo could transform an ordinary, insecure girl into the present LiYue.
Unfortunately, Han ShuYi is merely using her.
HuMing looked calmly at LiYue, his expression unchanged.
LiYue became anxious as she observed HuMing's demeanour. She understood HuMing's displeasure since the events at the banquet had deeply hurt him.
This was precisely why Han ShuYi had sent her to apologize.
Han ShuYi said that HuMing was still family, and some issues had to be resolved.
Nervously, LiYue said to HuMing, "Can we talk? Just the two of us."
Ye QiuXue raised an eyebrow lightly and said to HuMing, "I'll leave first. Catch up with me once you're done."
She turned to leave, but HuMing suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Such an action stunned both girls.
Only to see HuMing slowly opening his mouth and said,
"Is it something that can't be said openly? Why does it have to be just the two of us?"
