Su Zhihan wanted to explode as soon as Gu Lingyang called her "little girl".

She's already twenty-two years old, a few months older than Jiang Wanning.

Jiang Wanning is already married, and she is two years older than the legal marriage age, so how can she be considered a child?

Su Zhihan took a deep breath, forcing a smile. He was her idol; she couldn't get angry.

She's working so close to her idol, she should be happy, not angry.

But I'm still so angry!

It seems that idols are only suitable for admiring from afar; getting close to them only leads to disillusionment.

Su Zhihan looked up and saw a black van parked across the street with its hazard lights on.

As if sensing her gaze, the car window slowly rolled down, halfway down. Gu Lingyang, wearing a mask and sunglasses, looked like a star even in the dark of night. Her presence was so strong and dazzling that she was impossible to ignore.

Su Zhihan agreed and hung up the phone, saying to Jiang Wanning, "I won't go. Teacher Gu is looking for me; he's just across the street. I'll go over there."

"Okay, be careful."

Jiang Wanning watched Su Zhihan cross the road, then saw Gu Lingyang open the car door and pull Su Zhihan inside.

Jiang Wanning smiled, thinking that Su Zhihan would be very happy, after all, she would be able to spend time with her idol day and night.

After Gu Lingyang's car left, Jiang Wanning looked at Li Yixuan and asked, "Teacher Xu isn't feeling well, can you still drink coffee?"

"I can't persuade her. She said she's not feeling well, and if she can't do this or that, what's the point of living?"

Li Yixuan's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Jiang Wanning with burning eyes and said, "Maybe you can try to persuade her."

Jiang Wanning thought for a moment and then had two cups of coffee and one cup of sweetened milk packed to go.

"Brother Yixuan, what would you like to drink?"

"I won't need it. That cup was for President Fu, wasn't it?"

"Um."

How did you meet Mr. Fu?

“We had a connection when we were young, and when we met again, not too early and not too late, he proposed to me, and I said yes. He is a very good person.”

Jiang Wanning's eyes softened when she spoke of Fu Chenyuan.

A gentle glint appeared in Li Yixuan's eyes, concealing the faint bitterness in his heart. He smiled and said, "I think you like him a lot, don't you? Your eyes lit up when you mentioned him."

"Yes, I think I love him." After saying these three words, Jiang Wanning was overwhelmed with emotion and even paused for a moment.

She actually said "I love him" three times.

After saying that, Jiang Wanning felt a little embarrassed.

Li Yixuan laughed.

"Marrying someone you love, and someone who loves you in return, is a wonderful thing. I'm really looking forward to your wedding. Wan Ning, you will definitely be happy."

"Thanks."

The two sat there, one seat apart, but because of their good looks and the elegant, understated air they seemed quite well-matched.

Before Fu Chenyuan even got close after getting out of the car, he heard a girl holding up her phone, trying to take pictures of Jiang Wanning and Li Yixuan.

"They look so good together. They're such a perfect match. Are they celebrities? Are they a couple? They're such a good couple."

Just as the girl was about to press the shutter, she suddenly felt a cold, sharp gaze, and the temperature around her seemed to drop several degrees.

She couldn't help but shiver, and when she met Fu Chenyuan's icy gaze, her hands fell to her sides.

Her voice and her companion's voice faintly reached Fu Chenyuan's ears: "Ah, how scary. The way that man looked at me just now was like he wanted to tear me to pieces. But, he's so handsome! Even more handsome than that man in the courtyard, and because he looks a bit crazy, cold and abstinent, it's kind of intriguing."

Just as Fu Chenyuan stepped into the front yard of the coffee shop, Jiang Wanning seemed to sense something, looked at Fu Chenyuan, and then smiled and immediately went to greet him.

Fu Chenyuan's cold demeanor instantly softened upon seeing Jiang Wanning.

Jiang Wanning took the initiative to step forward and extended her hand, which Fu Chenyuan immediately grasped.

She wasn't unaware of the lingering gloom and coldness in Fu Chenyuan's eyes.

Although Jiang Wanning wasn't particularly perceptive about emotions, she sensed that something was off about Fu Chenyuan's aura.

She took Fu Chenyuan's hand and led him to Li Yixuan.

"Ah Yuan, this is my senior brother, Yi Xuan. Han Han and I were just having coffee here waiting for you when he came to buy coffee for Teacher Xu and we ran into him. Teacher Xu isn't feeling well, and I'd like to go with you to check on her. Is that alright?"

In just a few words, the cause and effect are clearly explained.

Furthermore, the sensation of Jiang Wanning's touch in his palm truly eased Fu Chenyuan's unease.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Fu Chenyuan looked at Li Yixuan: "Mr. Li, please lead the way."

Li Yixuan seemed oblivious to the wariness and hostility hidden in Fu Chenyuan's eyes, and smiled warmly: "Mr. Fu, please."

The three walked towards the other side.

Xu Ying lives in a residential area outside the university town, which is right next to the university town.

It's a semi-new, semi-old neighborhood, but the environment is very nice, with shady trees.

In this season, bougainvillea in various colors, including pink, white, rose, and cherry red, are in full bloom. Walking along the wall of the courtyard planted with bougainvillea is a pleasure in itself.

Seeing the surprise in Jiang Wanning's eyes, Li Yixuan explained, "Aren't you surprised? The teacher insists on living here, saying that true seclusion lies in the city, and living in the bustling city center gives it more human warmth. Seeing people living vibrantly and feeling this vigorous vitality is what keeps her creativity flowing."

A few minutes later, Li Yixuan stopped at a three-story self-built villa.

Bougainvillea plants were also peeking out from behind the courtyard walls.

Li Yixuan entered the password and logged in.

The courtyard was beautifully decorated with an artistic flair. Xu Ying lay on a rocking chair with her eyes half-closed.

She's not even fifty yet, but in that instant, she gives the impression that time has stood still for a very long time.

Hearing the noise, Xu Ying didn't even open her eyes: "Xiao Xuan, you're back a little late."

"Teacher, look who's here!"

Xu Ying opened her eyes and met Jiang Wanning's concerned gaze.

Jiang Wanning smiled and called out, "Teacher Xu, I'm sorry to bother you."

Xu Ying immediately stood up, but seemed to be out of sorts and staggered.

Just as Li Yixuan was about to step forward, Jiang Wanning was faster and stepped forward to support Xu Ying.

"Teacher Xu, please take your time."

"I'm too old, I'm no longer useful."

"Teacher Xu, you're still young, you don't look old at all. People would believe you're thirty."

"You silly girl, how can you tell such a convincing lie to make people happy? Shen Yuan, does Xiao Ning not lie much? If she does lie, I doubt anyone could tell."

"Teacher Xu, I'm telling you the truth."

Everyone burst into laughter.
