"What good ideas do you have?" Jiang Yu looked at Chen Chen, her eyes filled with distrust and contempt.

Her expression ignited Chen Chen's fighting spirit. A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Chen's eyes. "Although Song Siyao is a princess, in the academy, she is just a teacher, and I am the academy's supervisor. She is under my jurisdiction. Don't worry, I will definitely get back what you have suffered!"

Jiang Yu, with an arrogant expression, threatened Chen Chen, "I hope you won't disappoint me this time, otherwise, don't speak to me for a month!"

"Yes, Miss Jiang." Chen Chen reached out to take Jiang Yu's hand, but Jiang Yu quickly took a step back and said calmly, "It's getting late, I have to go home."

Chen Chen wasn't angry. Instead, he said good-naturedly, "Alright, Song Siyao asked me to send a message to Prince Ling, but I didn't go. Once they meet, this matter can't be kept secret anymore. I have to go and smooth things over."

"Okay, remember what you promised me." Jiang Yu walked past Chen Chen, extending a finger to lightly brush against Chen Chen's sleeve, gliding across his skin like a dragonfly skimming the water.

She didn't look at Chen Chen, walked straight ahead, pushed open the door, looked around, and seeing that no one was there, quickly left.

Chen Chen's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. He wanted to grab Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu had already brushed past him.

He could only see her back, gazing at her intently, like a believer devoutly worshipping their god.

After Jiang Yuyi left, Chen Chen also hurried out the door. He went straight to the entrance of the academy and saw Song Siyao and Shen Pei talking.

"Chen Chen greets Your Highness and Princess." Chen Chen walked up to the two of them in a few steps.

Song Siyao and Shen Pei exchanged a glance. They were talking about Chen Chen when Chen Chen arrived.

"Did the abbot come here specifically to see us off?" Song Siyao's words were laced with sarcasm.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. You instructed me to deliver a message to the Prince, but I got busy and forgot. Also, I was responsible for notifying you to attend the lecture today, but I was busy and delayed, causing you to be late and creating a misunderstanding with Mr. Jiang. It's all my fault."

Chen Chen spoke respectfully, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was excellent.

Song Siyao sized up Chen Chen. Although he didn't have the air of a nobleman, he could still be described as a handsome young man, especially his eyes, which looked at dogs with deep affection.

Moreover, Chen Chen's ability to become the supervisor at such a young age is undeniable.

He no longer addressed Song Siyao as Mr. Song, but as Princess, because Princess Song Siyao was entitled to punish him.

This person is very insightful.

"The supervisor is so busy, does he still make mistakes like this in his daily work?" Song Siyao asked.

Shen Pei added insult to injury, "If Supervisor Chen is not competent for this position, I can find you an easier one."

Chen Chen lowered his head even further, and no one saw his sinister gaze.

He knelt down in front of Song Siyao and Shen Pei with a thud, his attitude sincere, "Your Highness, Princess, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Song Siyao smiled and thought, "This Chen Chen is flexible and knows how to assess the situation. He's a talented person."

However, what happened today is not enough to punish Chen Chen; a warning will suffice.

"Supervisor, this is a one-time exception. Get up," Song Siyao said.

Chen Chen stood up. "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Your Highness."

"Yaoyao, let's go."

Shen Pei took Song Siyao's hand, and the two boarded the carriage. Chen Chen's respectful voice rang out again, "Respectfully seeing off Your Highness and Princess."

Once the carriage had gone far away, Chen Chen straightened his back again.

No one knows how much hardship he endured to climb to the position of supervisor.

He cannot fall! He cannot retreat!

He wants to use this opportunity to rise to the top, realize his ambitions, and avenge himself!

"Yaoyao, what do you think of what happened today?" Shen Pei asked Song Siyao.

“Jiang Yu colluded with Supervisor Chen to deliberately notify me late, making me late and being reprimanded by Jiang Yu,” Song Siyao explained.

"You have no grudge against Jiang Yu, so why did she do this?" Shen Pei asked.

Song Siyao stared at Shen Pei, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "That's a question for you to answer."

"Ask me?" Shen Pei asked, puzzled.

“This morning you said goodbye to me and said you would pick me up after school. At that time, Jiang Yu was on the second floor. Her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at you, and she looked at me with disdain.”

Song Siyao said, "That's why she decided to hold a lecture in the afternoon, deliberately made me late and scolded me. She knew you were waiting for me at the gate, but didn't give me time to tell you. I could only ask the abbot for help, but the abbot didn't send a message. You didn't know the real situation and could only wait foolishly at the gate."

“But in general, you shouldn’t wait in this situation. Instead, you should just leave and then come to me to argue, blaming me for not telling you. I’ll tell you that I clearly asked someone to pass on the message to you, but you don’t believe me, and we’ll continue arguing. Once there’s the first argument, there will be countless arguments afterward.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Pei's expression changed, and he blurted out, "She's trying to drive a wedge between us! How vicious!"

He then explained to Song Siyao, "Yaoyao, whether or not someone sends me a message today, I will wait for you. You must believe me; I always keep my word!"

"Of course I believe you." Song Si looked at Shen Pei with tenderness in his eyes.

"Leave this to me, I'll handle it." Shen Pei was clearly furious. They could mess with him, but anyone who dared to touch his Yao Yao deserved to die!

"No need, I can do it myself," Song Siyao said casually.

"Then go ahead and do it, I'll back you up!" Shen Pei gave Song Siyao plenty of confidence.

Although he knew that, given Song Siyao's current status, she didn't need his support at all.

However, he still wanted to protect her.

"Okay." Song Siyao smiled faintly. She could protect herself, but who could refuse the protection of the one they loved?

Jiang Yu was unaware that her elaborate scheme had been seen through by Song Siyao.

She thought she could drive a wedge between Song Siyao and Shen Pei, but little did she expect that the two would become increasingly affectionate and would even conspire to kill her.

Shen Pei left after escorting Song Siyao to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

"Yaoyao, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Aren't you busy?" Song Siyao asked.

Shen Pei's gaze was fervent. "Picking you up is never too busy."

Song Siyao smiled slightly, "Alright then, I'll wait for you."

"I brought you some food when I came, from your favorite pastry shop," Shen Pei said softly.

"Someone picked me up, and someone even bought me food. Your Highness, you're too kind!" Song Siyao exaggeratedly.

This was the first time Shen Pei had seen Song Siyao like this; she was bright and beautiful, charming and captivating, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Yaoyao," Shen Pei called gently, "Come in quickly, you must be tired after a long day."

"great, see you tomorrow."

Song Siyao and Shen Pei exchanged a few sweet words before entering the mansion. Shen Pei only left after her figure disappeared from sight.

She had barely sat down in the front hall when Cang Yue approached her. "Princess, there's news..."
