“Mister Mu.” The guy dressed in a suit threw an unnoticeable glance at Bai Qingqing, then led the two of them to the car, opening the door and putting up a “please” gesture.

So this was what Muir meant by “took a ride here”?

Bai Qingqing gulped. She hadn’t had such an experience before and felt a little nervous. She tightened her grip on Muir’s hand.

Muir clenched his mate’s palm to console her, then bent over to carry her, putting her in the car.

He was worried that his mate might not know how to ride a car and almost said “You don’t squat in a car. You sit in it.” to her.

“No need. I can get in myself.” Bai Qingqing hadn’t finished her words when she was placed on the car seat. She looked around and saw that there was a middle-aged man in the front passenger seat, looking at her through the rear-view mirror. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled.

Bai Qingqing returned with a polite but distant smile, moving further inside so that Muir could enter.

Muir could tell that his mate was nervous. He wrapped his arms around her waist, wanting to put her on his lap. However, Bai Qingqing noticed this and rejected him.

“I’m fine. Where are you guys going?” Bai Qingqing asked.

Muir looked toward the middle-aged man, who immediately said, “Have you decided to settle down permanently in this city? Is there a housing area you’ve taken a liking to? There’s an empty villa downtown. If you don’t have any other requirements, we can go over there immediately.”

Muir turned his head and asked her, “Is that alright?”

Bai Qingqing was stunned. They were going to assign Muir a house? A villa? The benefits were really good!

“Erm... Can we change to another place?” Bai Qingqing said weakly, “I live in the neighboring city.”

The middle-aged man gave Muir an inquiring glance but could tell that Muir would go with the girl’s wishes. He said, “Yes. What’s your school’s address? I’ll check up on it.”

Bai Qingqing gave him her school’s address. The middle-aged man first checked the map on the Internet, then made a call. He then looked at them through the rear-view mirror.

“How about Splendid Villa? It’s the best district in the city and is convenient to go anywhere from there,” said the middle-aged man.

Bai Qingqing only knew that the “Splendid Villa” was a very high-class district only wealthy people could afford to stay in, and had no idea of the property prices there. Therefore, she nodded calmly. “I think it’s quite close.”

“Make it there, then,” Muir said.

The middle-aged man smiled. He then made a few calls that should be him liaising with the developers. Moreover, the liaising seemed to be going smoothly and the house was confirmed after just a few lines.

After the middle-aged man was done dealing with this, he told the chauffeur the exact address.

“I didn’t expect that the person Muir was looking for is still a student. Hello, I’m Liu Yi, Muir’s coach. We’ll definitely be seeing each other often in the future,” Liu Yi said with a smile on his face. He had a good impression of this girl. After all, Muir had only agreed to participate in the competition for her sake.

“Hello, I’m Bai Qingqing,” Bai Qingqing said.

However, Muir didn’t give the coach any face at all. Bai Qingqing’s note had just ended when he said bluntly, “I told you that I won’t be competing for you guys in the future.”

He found it extremely embarrassing to compete with these weak humans. Moreover, his mate was here and she’d definitely think that he was bullying the weak.

However, he had already tried his best to give in to them. He couldn’t possibly stop midway to take a rest.

“There’s still four years before the next Olympics. You don’t have to do anything now except maintain your current strength. Four years later, if you want to come, you can. If you don’t want to, there’s nothing we can do either.” Liu Yi looked very stern, but when he spoke with Muir, his attitude was amicable like Maitreya. He was treating Muir like he was Bodhisattva.
