Qiao Wanwan's face immediately turned red, and she raised her chin defiantly, saying, "We're husband and wife, isn't it normal for us to sleep together!"

Zhan Yin: "......"

A low, husky laugh came from the phone, "Wanwan, are you being this direct?"

Qiao Wanwan then remembered that she was still on the phone and hurriedly asked, "You heard everything?"

"What just happened? Was there any danger?"

"Your nephew lost control of the car for a moment, but he's fine now."

Zhan Jingting's expression was displeased. "Why did you go out in Zhan Yin's car?"

He just happened to be passing by.

"Passing by?" Zhan Jingting smiled faintly. "None of his properties pass by Wutong Bay."

Qiao Wanwan turned to look at Zhan Yin and raised an eyebrow at him.

Zhan Yin forced a smile and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with me picking up Aunt from school? We're classmates, so we should love each other even more."

"Then you'd better make sure she doesn't lose a single hair. Also, you don't need to worry about her anymore. I'll send someone to pick her up after school today."

Zhan Yin: "......" What did he do wrong to deserve being fed dog food!

Qiao Wanwan felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and her voice softened as she spoke, "You should sleep a little longer, I'll hang up now."

"good."

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone, but the smile on her face never faded.

Zhan Yin almost rolled his eyes. "Qiao Wanwan, is it really necessary?"

"none of your business."

"I came to pick you up out of kindness, and this is how you treat me."

"You insisted on asking."

Zhan Yin turned to look at her. "Qiao Wanwan, something's not right with you. You're completely immersed in sweet love right now, and you look especially radiant."

"Isn't this good?" Qiao Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Do I have to be gloomy to be normal?"

"Of course not, I quite like how you are now, you're much brighter than before."

"At least you said something sensible."

"How dare you talk like that? What I said wasn't human?"

"They don't even sound like human beings."

Zhan Yin: "......"

The two bickered all the way to school, arriving just in time for class. Zhan Yin shamelessly insisted on sitting next to Qiao Wanwan.

Qiao Wanwan looked disgusted and was about to speak when a familiar figure suddenly walked in through the door!

Qiao Wanwan frowned!

Zhan Yin noticed her reaction, followed her gaze, and his eyes immediately lit up with a gossip-loving glint!

"Qiao Wanwan, who is this?"

"Nobody."

"Pfft, nobody's going to believe that. He's actually quite handsome..."

Lin Mo wore frameless glasses today, which made him look even more scholarly, causing the girls in the classroom to be overjoyed.

"Wow, who is this?!"

"So handsome!"

"No matter who he is, I hereby declare him my husband!"

Lin Mo ignored their discussion, took out his laptop, opened it, and introduced himself, "Classmates, I am Lin Mo, today's substitute teacher."

Another round of whispers erupted from below.

"To be qualified to be a substitute teacher at such a young age, one must be very knowledgeable!"

"Isn't that the face of the male protagonist in a novel? He's so alluring!"

Qiao Wanwan looked at Lin Mo, but he seemed not to notice her at all, their gazes never meeting. But she was even more worried.

"Qiao Wanwan, what's wrong?" Zhan Yin waved his hand in front of Qiao Wanwan's face. "Are you stunned?"

"No," Qiao Wanwan said, regaining her composure. "Focus on the lesson."

"Um."

Although Lin Mo is young, he is very professional and his lectures are more popular than those of older professors.

The class ended quickly, and Qiao Wanwan left the classroom immediately.

"Qiao Wanwan, where are you going?"

"Going to the toilet."

Qiao Wanwan went straight to Yu Hui's office and saw him leisurely sipping tea. She stepped forward and asked, "Professor Yu, why is Lin Mo here as a substitute teacher?"

"What's wrong?" Yu Hui gestured for her to sit down. "You seem to be very resistant to him?"

"I have no right to resist, I'm just curious."

"Although Lin Mo only studied at Imperial University for a year before going abroad to study, he is one of my most outstanding students. After completing his studies, he did not stay abroad, but returned to China to contribute to our own medical cause. This sentiment is truly invaluable."

"More importantly, he's coming to be a substitute teacher and passing on what he's learned to you younger students, which is a great thing."

“I didn’t say there was anything wrong with it,” Qiao Wanwan asked. “So you invited him to be a substitute teacher?”

"Of course, he's very busy. You should cherish this opportunity that he can make time for class."

Qiao Wanwan nodded, "I understand. Please have your tea. I'll head back now."

"good."

Qiao Wanwan opened the door and went out, and suddenly saw the man standing outside the door.

Lin Mo's deep, ocean-like eyes flickered, carrying a cryptic light that gave Qiao Wanwan a strange sense of pressure.

"When did you arrive?" Qiao Wanwan asked.

"I heard everything," Lin Mo admitted frankly. "You think I offered to substitute for you so I could get closer to you, is that right?"

“I was indeed afraid you would lose control, Lin Mo. We should keep our distance. That’s why I didn’t even ask you to research Zhan Jingting’s illness.”

Lin Mo smiled. "He's the one who won't let you look for me, isn't he? He'd rather his illness remain incurable than let you get close to me, is that right?"

"You're overthinking it. Even if he thinks that way, I'm not a puppet to be manipulated. I will weigh the pros and cons myself."

Now that she is Zhan Jingting's wife, she won't have much contact with men who have feelings for her.

She wanted to discuss Zhan Jingting's condition with Lin Mo, but in comparison, she still didn't want Zhan Jingting to be unhappy because of it.

"That's good." Lin Mo sighed silently. "Wanwan, I still stand by what I said: Zhan Jingting is not the right person for you. No matter what happens, I will always be there to protect you. As long as you turn around, you will definitely see me."

"Stop talking!" Qiao Wanwan quickly looked around and said, "You must never say such things again. It wouldn't be good if someone heard you."

Lin Mo chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Alright, I won't say anything more. Go back and prepare for class."

"Okay, goodbye." Qiao Wanwan returned to the classroom absentmindedly, and Zhan Yin immediately came over with his phone.

"Qiao Wanwan, I've found out all about that handsome guy. Do you want to hear it?"

"don't want."

"It's true that you shouldn't, since you know him and of course you know his background." Zhan Yin said with a gossipy look, "Judging from your reaction when you met him before, you two have a romantic entanglement, right? Qiao Wanwan, although I don't mind you, normal people will look at appearances. You're so ugly, yet you still have a crush on such a handsome guy. Aren't you ashamed?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......" ? ? ?

"Zhan Yin, are you saying I have a crush on him?"

"Otherwise what? Could it be that he has a crush on you?"
