Chapter 1146 - 760: You Don’t Like Eating Alone, So Someone Has to Wait for You

"No, I only have two sentences."

"Go ahead."

"Others may call you ’Professor’, Chi Lun, but don’t forget what you really are."

"..."

"My wife is quite naive, don’t even think about scheming against her."

"..."

Yin Shixiu slightly curved his lips, "Chi Lun, make sure to remember the two sentences I said today."

Chi Lun slowly put down the coffee cup in his hand, placed both hands on the table, and stood up to meet Yin Shixiu’s gaze, "So Uncle Yin hasn’t forgotten me. I also have two sentences to tell Uncle Yin."

"Originally, I wasn’t interested in your wife, but now, I am."

"..."

"Second sentence, regardless of what kind of person I am, now, my attraction to your wife is definitely greater than yours."

After Chi Lun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand.

"No need to see me off."

After hearing Chi Lun’s words, Yin Shixiu did not become angry. He looked calmly at Chi Lun, and the mocking smile hidden within his gaze changed the expression on Chi Lun’s face instantly.

Returning to his seat, Chi Lun looked at the cup of coffee in front of him, but he no longer had the desire to savor it. In an instant, his eyes flashed with a rebellious gleam! However, he quickly concealed this emotion, hiding it thoroughly.

Su Xiaomeng brought the packed meal back to the office, "Hey, big professor, two meat dishes and one vegetarian, plus a fried rice. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!"

Chi Lun said with a smile, got up to wash his hands in the restroom, and returned to see Su Xiaomeng sitting in her place, staring blankly at the book in front of her... Clearly, she wasn’t reading but dazing.

"Oh, by the way, while you were gone to get the meal, your husband came by again."

"What?"

Su Xiaomeng quickly looked up, her husband was the core of her heart, and just a mention of him brought her back in an instant.

"Why did he come by again?"

Chi Lun sat back in his seat, wiped his hands, pushed the books and documents forward, and opened the packed meal box, letting its aroma fill the air.

"Hmm..."

Su Xiaomeng’s heart immediately tightened as she felt that Yin Shixiu, lately, had been doing things completely out of bounds, afraid he might say inappropriate things...

"He didn’t say much, don’t worry. He just asked me to take good care of you."

Su Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief, but before she fully relaxed, she heard Chi Lun casually say, "And he warned me not to make advances toward you, that’s all."

"Pfft... cough cough!"

Su Xiaomeng knew it! She clenched her fist, her face reddening, clearly embarrassed by the remark! She and Chi Lun had only met, who would make advances on her!

"Um... my husband’s mind is not quite right lately, so don’t take his words too seriously."

Su Xiaomeng quickly explained.

Chi Lun chuckled, "Don’t worry, I won’t take such trivial matters to heart, though your husband does think too much..."

"..."

"Though Teacher Su looks nice and is kind of cute, this is mainly due to her youthful age. Not only is she married, but also has two kids to take care of... Seriously, with the way Teacher Su can be so blunt and aggressive, I suppose only your husband would see you as a treasure?"

"..." Su Xiaomeng fixed her gaze on Chi Lun.

Chi Lun spoke casually, eating his meal contentedly, unaware of Su Xiaomeng’s gaze until he realized she hadn’t responded for a long time and couldn’t help but glance up at her...

Only to meet her with a gaze filled with anger...

"Professor Chi, how could I ever think you were such a personable guy?"

"Well, I am quite personable, aren’t I?"

"Then why do your words make people so uncomfortable?"

"Want to know the reason?"

"Yes!"

"Four words, ’Words of wisdom hurt’."

"..." Su Xiaomeng was utterly stunned, internally shouting "What!" How could there be such a professor in this world!

"Nowadays, people who speak the truth are getting fewer, I barely count as one, Teacher Su should cherish this."

"..."

Uncultured scoundrel, Su Xiaomeng concluded!

First day teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University, fortunately, Chi Lun’s patient guidance kept me from wandering around like a headless chicken.

Attended two major classes, took class notes, modified the lesson content during breaks, consulted Chi Lun, and then ended the day’s work.

Got off work after five p.m.

Chi Lun, around four o’clock, left the school right at the faculty’s off-work time.

Xiao Meng drove herself, so she drove herself back, Beijing Foreign Studies University is about an hour’s drive from Yin Mansion, not exactly close, and if the elevated roads are jammed, the commute takes even longer.

Arrived home at seven.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang already finished dinner and returned to Jun Garden to do their homework.

A week has passed since the start of elementary school, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang have adapted quite well, and Su Xiaomeng’s earlier worries hadn’t come to pass.

Especially Shuangshuang, after the WeChat deletion incident, her mother and she had a dispute, but later Shuangshuang apologized to Su Xiaomeng. These days, Shuangshuang has been impeccably well-behaved, even reviewing the next day’s lessons with her brother before bed.

This truly provided Su Xiaomeng with much comfort.

"Young Madam, you’re back quite late today, do you want dinner now? I can prepare it."

"Thank you."

Su Xiaomeng said to Ah Su, entered the house, saw the two elders chatting and drinking tea with Yin Shixiu in the side hall... She casually greeted them and went to the dining room.

Zhou Mengqin hastily asked Yin Shixiu,

"What’s going on with you two?"

Yin Shixiu glanced towards the dining room and told Zhou Mengqin, "It’s my issue, you don’t need to worry about it."

"Your issue?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mengqin’s heart tightened. Saying "don’t worry about it" only made her worry more. "Old Four, you didn’t do anything improper outside, did you?"

Earlier Zhou Mengqin thought Su Xiaomeng was the problem, showing inevitable bias, but upon hearing her son say it’s his issue, the elderly lady grew more anxious.

The two elders always handle things based on reason, not preference, yet if their son errs, their position becomes even more difficult.

"Mom, look at how busy I am, would I have time to do anything improper?"

"Then tell me... it’s your issue? If you didn’t do anything improper, what could the problem be?"

Zhou Mengqin couldn’t calm down, seeing her mother dead-set on digging for answers... he wanted to explain clearly, but his young wife hasn’t given him the chance to explain thoroughly yet...

"I suppose... the problem might just be this... ’busy’."

Yin Shixiu muttered a sentence, then got up and walked towards the dining room.

Zhou Mengqin and Yin Shaohui looked at each other, bewildered...

The two increasingly couldn’t understand young people anymore...

Ah Su brought out the heated dishes, Su Xiaomeng blinked, "So much? I can’t possibly eat all this?"

"Half is mine."

Yin Shixiu pulled out the chair beside her and sat down decisively, "You don’t like eating alone, someone should be here to eat with you, right?"

"..."
