Chapter 346: Not Sister-in-law, but Teacher Fu

As expected of the Qin family.

They even bought a courtyard house in this area.

Just then, Qin Wenze added, "Wenhao’s wife bought the house herself. Not Wenhao."

When Zan Zi heard this, he was even more shocked.

"Teacher Fu is amazing, then!"

’He remembered Teacher Fu wasn’t a local, was she? How did she manage to buy a house here?’

’Then again, for someone so capable, buying a courtyard house probably wasn’t that surprising.’

"I’ll go knock."

Zan Zi raised his hand and knocked on the main gate.

A moment later, Qin Wenhao came out to open it. When he saw Zan Zi and Qin Wenze, his brow furrowed immediately.

"What are you two doing here?"

His tone made no effort to hide his displeasure.

Zan Zi pretended not to notice.

He said excitedly, "I heard you lived here, so I came to check it out."

Hearing this, Qin Wenhao nearly rolled his eyes.

’Did he need *this* guy to come check on him?’

He couldn’t be bothered with him.

He turned his head to look at Qin Wenze.

Before he could speak, Qin Wenze said, "Let’s talk inside."

"Yeah, let’s talk inside. Why are we just standing here blocking the doorway?" Zan Zi made himself right at home.

He squeezed right past Qin Wenhao and went inside.

Qin Wenhao: ...?

’This guy just walks in uninvited—did I say he could come in?’

Seeing the dark look on Qin Wenhao’s face, Qin Wenze said, "Mom asked me to drop some things off."

Qin Wenhao shot him a sidelong glance.

He simply turned around.

Without saying a word.

’Anyway, one of them is already in. It’s not like one more will make a difference.’

Qin Wenze could tell—his younger brother was seriously holding a grudge against him this time.

’Could it be because of my marriage to Gao Lan?’

’I’ll have to find a chance to have a proper talk with Wenhao,’ he thought.

He pushed his bicycle inside.

"Huh? Where’s Teacher Fu? Is she not home?"

Normally, given Zan Zi’s relationship with Qin Wenhao, he should have called Fu Mingxue "sister-in-law."

This just goes to show that when a person is truly capable, she is no longer an appendage to someone else.

No longer just a symbol of being "someone’s wife."

She has her own exclusive title.

Qin Wenhao shot him a glance. "She’s reading, of course. Weren’t you here to see me?"

Zan Zi: ...?

’What would I want with a rough guy like you?’

’If I had this kind of free time, I’d rather be at home sleeping.’

’Or even working on some difficult math problems would be better.’

"No, I came to see your place, not you. I’m actually here to see Teacher Fu. There’s a problem I don’t understand, and I wanted to ask her—"

Qin Wenhao wasn’t about to call his wife out just because he and Zan Zi were on good terms.

He refused bluntly, "We don’t talk about schoolwork at home. She lectured for so long today her throat is raw. How can you have the nerve to chase her all the way home and ask her to explain problems to you? Doesn’t she need to rest?"

Zan Zi: ...?

’Okay! Now that he mentioned it, I remember that Fu Mingxue taught classes for two different departments today.’

’That was definitely too much.’

’After all, during our math department class, she had stayed for over an hour after class just to answer questions.’

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he felt a little embarrassed now.

"Sorry, I really wasn’t thinking about all that just now."

Qin Wenhao ignored him.

Instead, he looked at Qin Wenze. "Just give me the stuff. You two can leave now."

Zan Zi: ...?

’Wait, even if I’m not asking Teacher Fu for help with a math problem...’

’...I can still hang out and chat for a bit, can’t I?’

Qin Wenze sighed inwardly again.

’It seems my little brother is really holding a grudge against me.’
