Lu Ning patted Huo Jinyan.

Huo Jinyan turned around and slowly stood up when he saw who it was.

Lu Ning stood up and looked over. “Dad, Mom.”

She directly skipped Lu Bai.

Lu Bai could not help but laugh when he saw her like this. He shifted his gaze to Huo Jinyan.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Huo Jinyan.

Huo Jinyan also looked over, and their eyes met…

“I’m sorry, darling. Mommy and Daddy were farther away, so we’re late.”

Lu Ning shook her head. “It’s fine. Teacher Huo was with me.” She did not know if she did it intentionally or not, but she suddenly mentioned Huo Jinyan.

Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment before looking back at her.

Lu Ning turned around and packed her things.

Lu Zhi looked at Huo Jinyan and said sarcastically, “Ah, thank you, Teacher

Huo. I heard that you’ve resigned. So why are you still in school?”

Huo Jinyan said politely, “Something happened to my students, so I came to take a look.”

“l see that Teacher Huo really cares about his students.”

The way he said it sounded off; Shen Yunci turned to look at him in confusion, tugging at his sleeve.

Then, she looked at Huo Jinyan. “Thank you, Teacher Huo. You should come over and visit when you’re free.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhi immediately interrupted, “Don’t. Teacher Huo wouldn’t be used to our simple meals.”

As though he did not understand what he was implying, Huo Jinyan simply said shamelessly, “Not at all, I enjoy simple fare a lot. I’ll definitely visit Uncle and Auntie another day.”

Lu Zhi wanted to say something, but Shen Yunci raised her hand and pinched him.

Shen Yunci immediately smiled. “Okay, then it’s settled. You have to come someday.”

Huo Jinyan immediately nodded.

Lu Zhi rolled his eyes at him. He took Lu Nings bag and turned to leave, even dragging Lu Ning along.

Lu Ning followed behind Lu Zhi. Shen Yunci followed behind them.

“Let’s go, son.”

Only then did Lu Bai retract his gaze and follow her.

“Thank you, Teacher Huo. We’ll get going first.”

After leaving with Lu Ning, Shen Yunci chewed out Lu Zhi when they reached the school gate.

“What’s wrong with you? He’s helping to protect Ningning, so why are you staring daggers at him?”

Lu Zhi could not be bothered to explain anything. He rode his scooter and pulled Lu Ning up. “Let’s go, Ningning. Don’t listen to your mother.” Lu Ning sat on helplessly. As soon as she was on, Lu Zhi drove away.

Lu Ning:

Shen Yunci:

Shen Yunci turned to look at Lu Bai. “What’s wrong with your father?” Lu Bai looked at Shen Yunci. “Mom, you really didn’t realize anything?”

“Realize what?”

Lu Bai could not help but shake his head helplessly. “l finally know who

Ningning got her carelessness from.”

Shen Yunci frowned at him. “What do you mean?”

“Let’s just go home.”

Shen Yunci got onto the scooter and could not help but mutter in the backseat.

“Yes, yes. You’re the smart ones.”

Lu Bai could not help but laugh.

“Why does your father not like such an outstanding boy like Teacher Huo?”

Lu Bai did not say anything as he listened to her mumbling.

“Is it because he likes our Ningning?”

As she muttered this, Lu Bai braked and turned to look at Shen Yunci in disbelief.

Shen Yunci was shocked and looked at him. “What’s wrong with you? The same issue as with your father?” “Mom, so you actually knew?”

“Know what?”

Shen Yunci was rubbing her forehead, which she hit when he stopped abruptly.

“That Teacher Huo likes Ningning?”

Lu Bai raised an eyebrow and nodded at her.

“Tsk, do you really think Mommy is stupid? Even an idiot could tell that

Teacher Huo is interested in our Ningning.. So why can’t I tell?”
