Chapter 205

"The servant said you've been waiting for me for over an hour?"

Li Jingchuan took off his coat and placed it in the servant's hands, then sat down on the sofa, his long arm draped elegantly over the leather armrest. "Do you have business with me?"

"I do have a small matter."

Li Guimo frowned as he glanced at Li Yue, then gave a faint smile. "Let's talk about it later."

"I might not want to know later."

Li Jingchuan crossed his long legs elegantly. "Speak now."

He had never had any fondness or affection for this father of his.

At this moment, the way he spoke to him was as serious and cold as if he were discussing work with a subordinate.

Li Guimo likely had not expected Li Jingchuan to give him absolutely no face.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter laugh. "Then I will speak."

After saying this, he glanced at Li Yue, then cleared his throat. "It is about Miss Li Yue."

"You know that I am a jewelry designer, and Niannian also has a great talent for jewelry design."

"But I have my own affairs to attend to, and I will be leaving in a few days."

"I do not wish for Niannian's talent in jewelry design to be buried, nor do I think there is any teacher in Rongcheng suitable to instruct her, except for..."

The man stretched out a long finger and pointed directly at Li Yue. "Except for this Miss Li."

"At the beginning, like everyone else, I thought Miss Li was just an unremarkable servant."

"But later, once I learned of Miss Li's true profession and capabilities, I felt ashamed of my own ignorance; it was my vision that was shallow."

Li Guimo looked at Li Yue's face earnestly with his dark eyes. "Miss Li's talent and keenness in jewelry design are exactly what Niannian needs."

"I feel that she is the most suitable person to be Niannian's teacher."

As soon as Li Guimo's voice fell, Li Jingchuan laughed.

He raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping coldly over Li Yue's face. "Still going to say he wasn't brought here by you?"

Since Li Guimo returned to the Li family, Li Jingchuan had barely spoken a few words to him.

Yet this father of his, before leaving, had unexpectedly proposed that Li Yue become Niannian's teacher.

Didn't this amount to wanting to plant Li Yue by his side again?

Li Yue frowned, a faint, ominous premonition stirring in her heart.

She had indeed been a very formidable jewelry designer before.

But...

Before returning to the country, she had already had Qin Muran modify her records.

In her current records, she was merely a novice who had achieved only the smallest of successes.

The version of her in the resume was simply not qualified to be a teacher for a genius girl like Niannian.

The experience in her resume was a dime a dozen in the talent market; the claim that one couldn't find a better teacher than her in Rongcheng was pure nonsense.

The woman pursed her lips and looked at Li Guimo with suspicion.

What exactly was this man up to?

"Daddy!"

At this moment, Niannian poked her head out from upstairs. "Can you come up for a moment?"

"Yunyu and I have something we need to ask you!"

Li Jingchuan gave a faint response, then stood up elegantly. "I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead!"

Li Guimo waved at him with a smile. "It just so happens I can chat a bit more with Miss Li."

Li Jingchuan's brows furrowed slightly.

He swept a cold glance at Li Yue once more before lifting his legs to head upstairs.

After the man left, only Li Yue and Li Guimo remained in the living room.

"Miss Li."

Li Guimo took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa in front of Li Yue. "Should I call you Miss Li... or should I call you... Master Moon?"

"Who would have thought."

Li Guimo raised his hand to pour a cup of tea and began to drink it to himself. "The jewelry master, Miss Moon, who recently made a high-profile retirement and distanced herself from the jewelry design world, would actually be working as a servant in my son's house, waiting on a little girl?"
