"No?" Pengzhan smirked but when he turned around and faced Mengyao- his serious face was back, "Why not? Isn"t he the biggest jerk? I can"t allow to have this type of jerk around me."

"Ugh... because…..because…..because…..erm, it"s hard for Lin Yi to get a job now, I"m still able to tolerate him….." A bright idea emerged from Mengyao"s mind just in time. She found a reason and made use of sympathy to stop her father from kicking Lin Yi out.

"I don"t think that"s a good idea…. How can I allow my daughter to suffer?" Pengzhan waved his hand, "Besides, I think Lin Yi is actually pretty popular, many people were trying to hire him before. It wasn"t easy for me to get him that time, so don"t worry. I"ll fire him right now and get you another follower!"

"Erm…. you can"t do that too!" Mengyao panicked.

"No? Why?" Pengzhan looked at her daughter with suspicious eyes.

"Ugh... because…..because…..because…..erm, he might be hateful but Shu and I have already gotten along with him for quite some time!" Mengyao finally found another reason, "Daddy, you have to know, I dislike strangers right? It"s very hard for me to accept another complete stranger! Besides, Lin Yi is still honest- he doesn"t steal! What if, the next follower is worse than him, that"ll be a nightmare!"

"Haha, Yaoyao, your concern is reasonable!" Pengzhan chuckled, "But, don"t worry, I"ve got an ideal person in mind. He"s Uncle Fu"s junior, he was also a bodyguard but he worked overseas and he has just returned, jobless! Uncle Fu was going to introduce him to me, so I can believe that he"s a reliable person! It shouldn"t be a problem!"

"Is that so….I don"t think it"s a good idea," Mengyao said.

"Again? Why?" Pengzhan asked.

"Ugh... because…..because…..because…..erm, I said it just now, didn"t I? We might know this guy but I can"t interact with strangers well, it was hard for me in the beginning with Lin Yi too! What if I"m unable to focus on my studies after all the changes that I"m not used to?!" Mengyao said.

"Rest a.s.sured! You know Uncle Fu,right? I"ll let Uncle Fu protect you and the new guy to protect me!" Pengzhan smiled, "You should be fine with Uncle Fu, right? You won"t feel distant with him, will you? After all, he watched you grow up!"

"Ugh…. Uncle Fu….." Mengyao found that Uncle Fu was acceptable but she didn"t know why she couldn"t let Lin Yi go as she said, "I think…. Lin Yi is still the best option!"

"Owh? Why is it still him? I thought you hate him to the bone?" Pengzhan was puzzled.

"Aye! Actually…. Actually…. Actually it"s because….. Shu has fallen for Lin Yi! Shu would be heartbroken if Lin Yi was fired!" Mengyao thought, it must be because of this girl, Shu. Because of Shu- she didn"t want to let Lin Yi leave, the girl liked Lin Yi.

"EH?" Pengzhan"s eyes widened in response- he had predicted an answer beforehand but little did he know that Mengyao would blurt out another excuse! Shu had fallen for Lin Yi? Why Shu? Wasn"t it Mengyao?

A father will always be a father to his daughter- Pengzhan had watched her daughter grow up, and saw that her behavior and her att.i.tude towards Lin Yi had changed. His instinct told him that Mengyao had fallen for Lin Yi but he knew his daughter wasn"t certain of her feelings yet so he decided to talk to her daughter personally, trying to understand the situation.

At first, the idea of firing Lin Yi was just to test her daughter"s reaction but Mengyao"s excuses were getting more and more reasonable to the point that even Yushu was dragged in- this made Pengzhan have a slight headache.

"Shu has fallen for Lin Yi? I thought Lin Yi already had a girlfriend?" Pengzhan continued his probe.

"This…. Yeah, that"s why I say Lin Yi is a hateful jerk. He has such a pretty girl in the house, yet he still flirts with other girls!" Mengyao continued, "Daddy, don"t you think that his actions are hateful?"

"Hmm… You are right," Pengzhan held his laughter- this must be the real reason for all this mess.

"So in the end, you can"t fire Lin Yi right now and I can only tolerate him for Shu"s sake!" Mengyao said.

"But, Lin Yi has a girlfriend already. What"s Shu going to do?" Pengzhan asked. To tell the truth, he was eager to see his daughter"s reaction.

"She? She already knows that she can only think about being his second wife, so that shouldn"t be problem I guess!" Mengyao said.

"Second wife?" Pengzhan shook his head, "Really…?"

"I"ve no idea but she"s always acting crazy, so even I couldn"t figure out whether she"s being serious or not," Mengyao shook her head, "Daddy, just ignore this alright, we"ll let Shu settle this mess herself."

"Alright, I won"t talk about this then!" Pengzhan smiled and stood up, "Okay, it"s very late now. I shall take my leave, and you guys should rest earlier! Although, tomorrow is Sunday, you guys shouldn"t stay up too late!"

"En….." Mengyao let out a sigh of relief- finally she was able to persuade her father to let Lin Yi stay.

Even though the next day was sunday, Pengzhan still had a ton of work to settle, so Pengzhan and Uncle Fu left shortly after that.

After he finished cleaning, Lin Yi"s phone rang the moment he was about to take a rest.

"h.e.l.lo, Tang Yin," Lin Yi picked up the phone, "Have you returned to the hospital?"

"Yea, not long ago. My mom has prepared some food for me and she"s accompanying my dad now," Tang Yin"s voice was soft and gentle as if she was like a wife longing for her husband.

"Haha, I"ll pay you a visit tomorrow. I think your wound has probably already recovered though," Lin Yi smiled.

"En…." Tang Yin touched her own forehead- it wasn"t painful at all, the medicine was very effective.

"It"s very late now, why aren"t you resting? Did something happen over there?" Lin Yi was suspicious- Tangyin never called him without purpose.

"You…. are you staying in Mengyao"s house now?" Tangyin hesitated and asked.

"En, I"m here," Lin Yi replied honestly- not intending to hide the fact at all.

"Owh…." Tangyin knew that Lin Yi was in Mengyao"s house but she couldn"t help ask- she had to confirm with him again.

"Haha, don"t you worry, I"m sleeping on the first floor and they are on the second floor," Lin Yi said in an effort to comfort her.
