Chu Liyuan wasn’t the type to gossip; as long as the other party was convinced, that was enough. So, he didn’t continue questioning, instead choosing to wake Xing Can up.
But even so, it was already shocking enough.
"What just happened?" Xing Can, who had just woken up, seemed pletely unaware of the events that had unfolded moments ago.
"You were hypnotized just now. Don’t you know that?"
"Hypnotized? Impossible! How could I be hypnotized? And besides, how could it happen in such a short amount of time?" Xing Can said incredulously, pointing to the watch on his wrist.
"Why is it impossible? All of us witnessed it just now!"
"No way! Did you guys conspire to mess with me on purpose?"
"We don’t have the spare time to play games with you, Li Tie!" Xiao Ran crossed her arms and spoke without even looking at Xing Can, her eyes fixed elsewhere.
"What did you just call me?" Xing Can’s expression had visibly shifted, showing signs of panic.
"Li Tie! Isn’t that your name?" Xiao Ran’s face wore a smug, provocative look as she turned toward Xing Can.
"How do you..." Xing Can stammered, unable to believe it.
"It’s not just me! Everyone in this room knows now!"
"This..."
"Given the situation, are you still going to deny that you were hypnotized just now?" Jian Dan asked.
"This~ this~" Xing Can lowered his head deeply at this moment, concealing his current expression from view.
"Does anyone else have any objections?" Chu Liyuan asked coldly, looking at everyone.
"No!" The crowd responded in near unison.
Because no one wanted to end up like Xing Can—defeated at their own specialty. That feeling of humiliation was unbearable, especially with certain added nuances.𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"Since there are no objections, starting today, all of you will be under my mand!" Chu Liyuan’s manding tone carried an undeniable authority.
"Yes!"
"Liyuan, Jian was late just now, shouldn’t you..." Shang quietly reminded him near his ear.
Although spoken in a deliberately lowered tone, the others could still hear it.
After hearing Shang’s words, Chu Liyuan turned his gaze toward Jian Dan. "Jian Dan, step forward!"
"Yes!" Jian Dan took a deep breath and stepped out of formation.
"Jian Dan was late today. According to the rules, she should be punished. But~ I don’t want to punish her."
This declaration stunned everyone, including Jian Dan herself, who hadn’t expected him to say such a thing.
But Chu Liyuan didn’t pay attention to their reactions and continued, "You all know my relationship with Jian Dan very well. Let me be upfront—I can’t bear to punish her. And if she makes mistakes in the future, I’ll still protect her. Does anyone have a problem with that?"
Jian Dan’s reaction was beyond astonished as she looked at Chu Liyuan’s expression.
Uncle, your blatant favoritism is just too obvious!
Yet somehow, it seems oddly impressive.
"No objections! Jian has always been the lucky charm of our Special Team—we’ll protect her too!" Bai Yan, as the team captain, was the first to speak up.
"Absolutely! Anyone who dares mess with Jian better deal with me first!" Xiao Ran added.
Then one by one, the others voiced their thoughts. Surprisingly, everyone shared the same sentiment as Bai Yan.
Surrounded by this unexpected outpouring of love from so many people, Jian Dan felt as if she was floating.
How did she get so lucky to have so many people care for her?
"Excellent, I truly appreciate everyone’s attitude!" Chu Liyuan’s lips curved into a faint smile.
Among the group, only Shang was left in a state of bewilderment.
Just how many rules is Chu Liyuan willing to break for Jian Dan?
(That’s something you’ll need to slowly uncover—there’s much more to it!)
Chu Liyuan pulled the still-dazed Jian Dan into his arms. Leaning in close, his lips curled as he spoke, "Jian Jian, from now on, you’re under my mand!"
Jian Dan blushed and lowered her head slightly, whispering softly, "Wasn’t I already under your mand before?"
Chu Liyuan’s satisfied smile widened...
