Chapter 172 Love Exposed

Just a few minutes after lunch was served, Dan Anwen returned from the company.

The first thing I did after washing my hands and sitting down was to peel shrimp for the young girl eating next to me.

"Uncle Dan, you eat first. I can peel them myself." Gu Ji glanced at the pile of shrimp meat on the plate and felt a little sorry that the man hadn't eaten yet.

Dan Anwen continued what she was doing, a slight smile playing on her lips. "It's alright, I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat after I finish peeling this."

The interactions between the two at the dinner table no longer attract the attention of those present, as such things are already commonplace.

Even Dan Shu, a die-hard fan of the couple, has gradually become immune to it. However, she believes that once their relationship is announced, there will be several pairs of eyes watching them at the dinner table again.

Hopefully, she won't be all alone by then.

Xiao Han has now returned from her mission. After hearing the rumors about her homosexuality, she beat up Shen Jiyang. It's easy to imagine that the old fox Shen Jiyang would betray her.

Not long after, she fell into crisis, and Xiao Han still hasn't replied to her messages.

I wonder if she'll be able to win Xiao Han's heart before she graduates from university.

Instead of facing final exams, Gu Ji and her classmates encountered an extra review class that their mother had given them at the last minute.

While his mother was drinking tea, Gu Ji looked around and saw that everyone was taking notes diligently, which relieved him.

The lessons her mother taught her were finally coming to an end, which reduced the likelihood of her dating relationship being exposed.

However, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Perhaps because the mother thought this was the last class, she started chatting with some students who had already taken notes.

The conversation included about Dan Anwen, the son of Dan Mu, who was a model student at Nan'an University a few years ago.

"Professor Zhou, isn't Senior Dan very handsome?"

His outstanding academic performance didn't need to be proven to his mother, after all, skipping grades to go to university and then going straight to Harvard for his PhD was the best evidence.

At this point, all the girls in the group gathered around to listen.

At home, Dan Anwen's mother disliked him for being single, but at school, she wouldn't criticize him. "You asked a very good question, but what is beauty? What is handsome? There has never been a definition since ancient times. It's just the world's perspective. Everyone has unique beauty. Appearance is just a shell."

"Your senior is just more in line with the world's perception."

Everyone nodded. Although Dan's mother did not explicitly describe Dan Anwen's appearance, it was clear that while his looks might not be as exaggerated as the rumors suggested, he was certainly a handsome man.

"Does Senior Dan have a girlfriend now?" This was also a point they were quite curious about.

Danmu smiled and quoted a popular saying online, "His current girlfriend is probably still in kindergarten."

"Hahaha..." As soon as Mother Dan said this, a large group of people burst into laughter.

Gu Ji was absent-minded; she was feeling flustered.

Sure enough, the next second, Danmu asked, "There must be quite a few students in your class who are in relationships, right? Youth is beautiful, and love is precious. Cherish it while you can."

Speaking of this, some girls started listing the people in their class who were dating.

Gu Ji's heart was in his throat; he desperately hoped that the girl could forget that she had a boyfriend.

"Gu Ji also has a boyfriend, but we've never met him in person."

Gu Ji's heart was pounding in her throat. She hadn't expected that before she could stop her from speaking, she would be the second person listed.

The mother was standing right next to the girl, and she heard the words "Gu Ji" clearly. She interrupted the girl with a shocked tone.

"You just said Gu Ji has a boyfriend? Is it Gu Ji, the one who gets first place in your class for your major?"

The girl thought her mother was just curious, so she repeated what she had just said.

"Yes, it's Gu Ji who sits in the second row."

Following the girl's gaze, Danmu moved to the second row and immediately saw Gu Ji with his head hanging down, wishing he could bury himself in his desk.

For the rest of the time, neither Danmu nor Guji could concentrate on the class. Fortunately, the review was over, and they just had to wait for the get out of class to end.

The mother looked at her with a puzzled expression, her eyes clearly indicating that she wanted to chat after class.

Knowing she was in deep trouble, she immediately called Dan Anwen, who worked at the company.

Kid: Help! Help!

Uncle Dan: What's wrong?

While sending messages, Dan Anwen walked outside.

Children don't give danger signals for no reason.

Just as I was about to make a call, I saw another message from Gu Ji.

Kid: Grandma knows I'm dating someone!!!

Dan Anwen paused in his steps as he walked out, and after a moment of thought, he began to type.

Uncle Dan: I'm coming to the school now. You can stall for time until I get there, then we'll deal with it.

Kid: Okay, hurry up and come, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long.

Uncle Dan: Don't be afraid, I'm here.

"Zhaozhao, don't worry. It's just that your parents know you're dating. It's not a big deal," Song Jin comforted Gu Ji, who had a long face.

Tian Ya also said, "That's right, you're a college student now, you can date."

"Professor Zhou doesn't seem angry, just a little surprised." Ji Wanmiao glanced at the expression on the teacher's face on the podium.

Gu Ji was on the verge of tears. She wasn't worried about her relationship being exposed; she was more worried about the fact that her boyfriend was Uncle Dan being exposed.

Finally, get out of class ended, and Gu Ji obediently followed Dan's mother to the office, praying in her heart that Dan Anwen would come to the school to save her as soon as possible.

Dan's mother was a senior professor, and the office was shared by the two of them. The other teacher wasn't there, so as soon as they entered the office, Dan's mother closed the door, looking like she wanted to have a long talk.

After putting the lesson plan away, Danmu sat down and began questioning Gu Ji.

The two of them are standing in a position that looks just like a student who has made a mistake and is being criticized by a teacher.

"Zhaozhao, when did you start dating? How come I, as your grandma, didn't know?" To be honest, Dan's mother wasn't angry, but she was still a little taken aback to find out from someone else that her granddaughter was dating.

Seeing this, Gu Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his grandmother was not angry, otherwise he would have been finished today.

"Just recently," Gu Ji replied vaguely.

Half a year ago, or rather, some time ago? Gu Ji thought uncertainly.

Dan's mother frowned. "Who is that boy? Is he from our school? Or from another school?"

A series of questions made Gu Ji's heart tremble. His eyes were lowered, and his hands were behind his back, almost scratching his skin raw.

She dared not answer, fearing that her mother would go crazy when she found out the truth.

"Just someone from outside," Gu Ji said ambiguously, not daring to say that her boyfriend was someone from outside the community, otherwise her mother would definitely ask a lot of questions.

She was originally afraid that her mother would disapprove of her relationship with Uncle Dan after learning about it, but now she is even more afraid that her mother will be angry after learning the truth.

Because concealing the truth is undoubtedly a form of deception.
