"That's perfect! If we get divorced, we'll have a chance!"

"Come on, that's easy! Just because someone likes Professor Wen doesn't mean they'd like you!"

The casual chatter and banter among the group during their meal was overheard by Yan Xiao's labmates who came out to get their own food.

…

The man, dressed in a white dust suit, was bending over, his eyes fixed on the electron microscope, observing the progress of the experiment in his hands.

"Comrade Yan, why didn't you have dinner with your beautiful wife from the economics department today?"

Yan Xiao, focused on his work, didn't even look up. "She's going home for dinner today."

"Going home? Aren't you from the South Province?" The man was surprised, but then he remembered what he had heard in the cafeteria and couldn't help but hint, "Your wife and Professor Wen from their department have quite a relationship, don't they?"

Yan Xiao paused, clearly indicating something unusual, but he didn't intend to say it aloud.

After all, the young girl didn't want to expose her relationship with her father-in-law at school.

His tone was slightly indifferent: "You're very free? Have you finished all the experiments?"

"Uh, no, you still have the mind to worry about experiments? Professor Wen is much more capable than you! Aren't you afraid that Professor Wen will steal your wife away?"

Yan Xiao glanced at him, barely able to focus. He had to admit that Yan Xiao was right about one thing: his father-in-law had indeed taken his wife away at noon today. Otherwise, would he still be in this laboratory?

But isn't this junior brother meddling in too many other people's business?

He couldn't help but say coldly, "Has the professor finished his task? Mind your own business from now on and focus on what's important."

"Hey! I'm giving you a friendly reminder, but you don't take it seriously. I bet you'll regret this one!"

Yan Xiao: ...

The other lab members also felt that Yan Xiao was somewhat ungrateful.

They had heard some of the rumors circulating outside, and they were initially envious of Yan Xiao's good fortune in finding such an incredibly beautiful wife.

But at this moment, all I feel is deep sympathy. What good is the title of husband when the wife is already two-timing him?

Yan Xiao continued to pick up and drop off his wife from school every day, and the rumors at school did not affect the two of them.

This dashed the hopes of those who were expecting Yan Xiao to divorce Wen Qinghe in a fit of anger.

Some people even saw Wen Qinghe get into Professor Wen's car several times, and the stern-faced professor personally got out to open the car door for her, put a scarf around her neck, and fasten her seatbelt.

This attentive attitude completely overturned their image of the aloof and highly respected professor.

He's so old and still trying to seduce female students.

People who are already psychologically unbalanced feel they should expose this hypocritical professor.

This matter escalated further.

But the school did nothing.

Until an anonymous letter reached the teaching affairs office.
