She refused to believe that Gu Zhiyun would treat her coldly in his own home, as a guest.

The next day, Professor Tang left early in the morning, and Tang Xiaoran quickly followed.

After dropping her off at the bus stop, Professor Tang waved to her and said, "It's alright, I'm perfectly fine, I can manage on my own."

He is 79 years old, but he is in excellent health and can still stand and teach for five or six hours every day.

He's much better than Old Man Xu.

As soon as the bus arrived, Tang Xiaoran silently boarded it.

Professor Tang glared at her: "What are you doing following me!"

Tang Xiaoran said, "I'm worried about you, so I'll take you to the platform and then go home."

"When we arrive at the station, don't get off yet. Ride for one more stop before getting off and return the way you came."

Tang Xiaoran couldn't help but complain, "Dad, am I really that unpopular in your eyes? I'm an academician of the China Academy of Space Technology, after all!"

She is not only an academician, but also the youngest female academician.

Tang Xiaoran has always been very self-important, and it is only because of her status as a female PhD and female academician that she has the confidence to pursue Gu Zhiyun.

She wouldn't even glance at a woman like Shen Jingyan, who had a bachelor's degree and was also a businesswoman.

“Principal Fang didn’t invite you, and you went without any manners. What kind of behavior is that? This time, Principal Fang is hosting a dinner at his home, and he won’t even prepare an extra pair of chopsticks or bowls!”

Tang Xiaoran didn't reply, thinking to herself, "I'm not following you for the food."

When they arrived at the station, Professor Tang didn't call Tang Xiaoran; he got off the bus on his own.

Tang Xiaoran followed without saying a word, instead of going to the next stop and returning the same way as Professor Tang had instructed.

The Gu family of five was indeed waiting to greet them at the platform.

Professor Tang is a very important person. This is his first time visiting the Gu family, so the Gu family attaches great importance to it and the whole family comes out to welcome him.

After exchanging pleasantries on the platform for a while, everyone crowded around Professor Tang as they walked home.

Fang Ru turned around and saw Tang Xiaoran.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher Tang is here too. Let's go home and sit down together."

Tang Xiaoran readily agreed: "Okay."

She knew that the Gu family wouldn't ignore her.

She was a little dissatisfied that neither Gu Zhiyun nor Shen Jingyan had greeted her earlier.

Just as she was about to follow him, Professor Tang said, "No need, you can go home."

Tang Xiaoran stopped in her tracks, feeling awkward.

"dad……"

"Don't you still have a manuscript to finish?" Professor Tang looked at her intently. "Hurry up and finish it. I have so many people to take care of me, it'll be fine."

Tang Xiaoran: "..."

Fang Ru said, "Professor Tang, since Professor Tang is already here..."

Professor Tang insisted, "She was just worried that I would take the bus alone, so she insisted on coming along. Now that I'm free, let her go about her business."

Now that things have come to this point, it would be shameless for Tang Xiaoran to follow them upstairs.

While inwardly grumbling about her father's lack of consideration for her, she pretended to be nonchalant and smiled:

"Okay, I'm actually quite busy. You guys go upstairs, I'm going back."

Before turning around, her gaze fell on Gu Zhiyun.

Gu Zhiyun's attention was entirely on Shen Jingyan, and he didn't glance at her once from beginning to end.

Shen Jingyan was glad that Professor Tang was a sensible person and didn't let Tang Xiaoran follow her upstairs.

Otherwise, she would have to deal with Tang Xiaoran's sarcastic remarks.

After taking Professor Tang upstairs, Gu Zhiyun went to the Xu family to pick up Old Man Xu.

The two great scientists greeted each other warmly, like long-lost brothers, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries.

Gu Zhiyun grabbed Shen Jingyan's arm: "Jingya, you sit down, I'll go pour some tea."

He didn't want his wife to face Tang Xiaoran, lest Tang Xiaoran find fault with him openly or secretly.

He quickly walked to the coffee table, brewed a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Tang Xiaoran across the table.

Tang Xiaoran gazed intently at Gu Zhiyun.

She couldn't take her eyes off the man.

Gu Zhiyun was about to leave after pouring the tea.

"Xiao Gu, how's your studying going lately?"

Tang Xiaoran started making conversation.

Gu Zhiyun replied casually, "It's alright, it went quite smoothly."

Before Tang Xiaoran could ask anything else, Professor Tang called out, "Xiao Gu, come back quickly! You only talked about half of your paper just now. Your grandfather and I want to hear about your next research direction!"

Gu Zhiyun left Tang Xiaoran and returned to the dining table.

Tang Xiaoran had no choice but to sit alone in the living room and drink tea.

The Gu family ate with the two elderly professors for another half hour before finishing their lunch.

After the meal, Chen Jingyan brought out some fruit.

Just as she and Duan Meishan were about to clear the table, Gu Zhiyun and Yang Xuechang interrupted, saying:

"You two go and take a break. You've been cooking all morning. We'll do the dishes."

Seeing how much Gu Zhiyun doted on Shen Jingyan, Tang Xiaoran felt incredibly jealous.

Seeing this, Professor Tang said with a smile, "Gu and Yang are truly role models for men. They know how hard their wives work and even help with chores."

Gu Zhiyun said modestly, "I learned it all from Brother Yang."

With the two men washing the dishes, Shen Jingyan and Duan Meishan sat on the sofa in the living room with the child.

Tang Xiaoran stared at Shen Jingyan with a very unfriendly look.

"Comrade Shen, it's not appropriate for you to have two grown men washing dishes in the kitchen, is it? How about I go and help out?"

As she spoke, she began to roll up her sleeves.

These words are a blatant sarcastic jab at Shen Jingyan for being lazy and not doing any work.
