Chapter 160: Protecting You Is What Matters Most

The other person was Su Cha: "It's me."
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to check if the young lady needs anything."
A-Jiu sneered, "Do you servants have to be so dutiful?"
Su Cha ignored her sarcasm and retorted instead, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm responsible for her security now. If not here, where else would I be?" A-Jiu said with a very dissatisfied tone, "Don't wander around aimlessly in the future. Don't blame me if you get accidentally hurt!"
Su Cha didn't say anything more and left; A-Jiu followed her downstairs.
Once the sound of their footsteps faded away, Jiang Mohe stood up, walked toward the balcony door, and listened to the commotion below.
A-Jiu was right downstairs. If he went out and ran into her at this moment, it would certainly not be good for Xianyu Meng's reputation.
Xianyu Meng pulled the blanket down. She also knew that Jiang Mohe could not leave just yet. Hesitating on how to strike up a conversation with him, her throat suddenly tickled, and she began to cough: "Cough, cough, cough..."
Jiang Mohe immediately turned back, walked over, picked up the thermos cup from the nightstand, and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Xianyu Meng sat up, pulling the blanket around her, and took it to drink a couple of sips.
Jiang Mohe glanced at her exposed arm, took Xianyu Meng's coat off the nearby coat rack, and draped it over her shoulders.
Xianyu Meng stammered shyly, "I... I had a nightmare last night..."
Therefore, those actions were all unconscious.
Xianyu Meng did not want Jiang Mohe to think she was a frivolous girl.
Jiang Mohe uttered an "en": "I will be at the mansion for the time being."
Saying this was to put her mind at ease.
"You're not leaving?"
"Not leaving for now."
Oh, for now! That meant he would still leave eventually.
Xianyu Meng lowered her head to hide the disappointment on her face: "Mr. Jiang, actually Eldest Brother values you quite a lot. You are capable of other more important positions; you don't need to wrong yourself by just being a bodyguard..."
Jiang Mohe didn't think this was her true intention. Clearly, she had anticipated his return so much before. Even if it was just a nightmare, the reluctance to let him go that she felt toward him was something he could genuinely perceive.
"I don't think it's wronging myself," he said. "Protecting you is the most important thing!"
Xianyu Meng's heart beat violently at these words. She opened her limpid, autumn-water eyes wide and gazed at Jiang Mohe: "Is it the most important?"
Jiang Mohe nodded: "En, the most important."
Xianyu Meng pursued the question: "Then you won't leave the Nangong family in the future?"
Jiang Mohe thought for a moment and replied, "I won't leave."
Xianyu Meng finally smiled, then immediately said, "You must keep your word!"
Jiang Mohe also curved the corners of his lips: "Alright."
The man, stripped of his cold frost, looked particularly warm when he smiled.

As the sky gradually brightened, Jiang Mohe could no longer linger.
He opened the bedroom door slightly and let the little blue cat out.
The clever little creature seemed to know its master's intention, scratching its paws against the floor with a "scratch, scratch, scratch" sound, deliberately making a loud noise as it ran downstairs.
Hearing the commotion, A-Jiu immediately entered the villa to check.
Jiang Mohe quickly opened the balcony door and vanished in the blink of an eye.
A-Jiu chased the little blue cat into the kitchen, somewhat angry: "Little one, this is not a place you should come!"
The little blue cat meowed at her, jumped onto the refrigerator, sat down, and lowered its head to lick the fur on its body, seeming not to take A-Jiu's words seriously at all.
"Get out!" A-Jiu waved the short dagger in her hand, trying to threaten the little blue cat.
However, the little blue cat suddenly made a leap, stepped on the top of A-Jiu's head, and darted out through the kitchen window.
"Hey!"
Annoyed, A-Jiu also leaped out through the window, intending to teach that mischievous little creature a lesson.
The little blue cat cleverly ran toward the monitoring room. A-Jiu chased after it inside, only to see Jiang Mohe standing there holding the little blue cat.
"You—when did you come back?" A-Jiu asked in surprise.
Why hadn't she noticed at all?
Jiang Mohe didn't answer her question, only saying, "That is the young lady's pet."
A-Jiu curled her lip in disgust: "This cat is so annoying!"
"Meow—" The little blue cat instantly bared its teeth.
Jiang Mohe stroked the fur on top of its head, and the little blue cat immediately calmed down, even affectionately rubbing its head against Jiang Mohe's palm.
Seeing this, A-Jiu found it even more irritating.
"Your duty is to protect the young lady. Nanan is her pet, so naturally you cannot harm it either," Jiang Mohe admonished her.
A-Jiu hummed: "These wealthy young misses really have nothing better to do. They need others to take care of themselves, yet they still raise a cat!"
Jiang Mohe frowned.
A-Jiu continued to grumble: "Protecting a pampered miss and her cat. I really don't know how you could do such a boring job here before."
Jiang Mohe understood why Xianyu Meng had said those words earlier; it must have been because of A-Jiu.
"Since you think this job is boring, you can go back today," Jiang Mohe said coldly.
随后, dialed A-Si, who was still fast asleep: "Later, have someone else come to replace A-Jiu."
"You... how can you just replace me like that?" A-Jiu was shocked and angry.
He could, because he was the head of security for the mansion. Which security personnel were employed was entirely up to him!

Jiang Mohe didn't explain and carried the little blue cat into his own room.
A-Jiu stamped her feet in anger.
When Xianyu Meng got up for school, she didn't see A-Jiu or A-Qi. Jiang Mohe was driving personally, with Su Cha sitting in the front passenger seat.
She asked in confusion, "Where is Mr. Qi and the others?"
Surely Jiang Mohe hadn't just returned only for them to withdraw so quickly?
Su Cha was in a good mood: "Mr. Qi is resting, and Captain Jiang sent A-Jiu back."
She finally had a chance to put her skills to use.
Xianyu Meng: "..."
He probably hadn't even slept well last night, and now he had to start working again immediately. How could his body possibly endure it!
Jiang Mohe saw the worry in her eyes through the rearview mirror and said, "I'm fine."
Back when they served as mercenaries in Country K, they were the Dark Night Wolf mercenary legion, fighting day and night. The hardest campaign they ever fought involved going without sleep for twenty whole days.
Therefore, going without rest for three or four days was just a minor matter to him.
However, Xianyu Meng's heart still ached for him.
When they arrived at the school and she got out of the car, she turned back to admonish him once more: "Go back and rest quickly."
To set her mind at ease, Jiang Mohe promised, "Alright."
After Xianyu Meng entered the school, Jiang Mohe handed the car over to Su Cha.
Su Cha asked him, "Do you have another mission?"
"En."
Jiang Mohe had someone to meet.
Liyang Academy also had its own security system and security personnel, but they couldn't recognize everyone.
Especially Jiang Yan, who knew how to disguise himself!
Jiang Mohe met the person he had commissioned at a cafe near the academy.
It was a teenage boy with dyed golden-blonde hair. He had fair skin, a slender build, exquisite facial features, and most special of all, a cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye.
"Hi!" Before Jiang Mohe even walked close, the boy greeted him enthusiastically.
Once Jiang Mohe sat down, the boy gave an exaggerated whistle: "Wow, I really didn't expect my tenth client to be such a handsome guy!"
Jiang Mohe looked at his heterochromatic eyes—one blue and one green—and slightly frowned: "Is this your signature look?"
