Fang Zeyu walked forward unhurriedly, stopped at a corner ahead, waited for about a minute, grabbed the person walking towards him and pinned him against the wall, only to find that it was a woman. He hurriedly let go and kept a distance of two meters from her.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" He had just sensed someone following him, and the technique was rather clumsy, but he never expected it to be a woman.

"Me?" Zhou Xiaomei rubbed her wrist, looking at Fang Zeyu in horror. "I meant no harm. Do you remember saving someone on Gongren Road two years ago?"

Fang Zeyu scrutinized her closely. It seemed she had saved someone before. He hadn't looked closely at her face at the time, but since there were only the two of them besides the thugs, the fact that she could say that made it clear that it was her.

"You're the girl from that night, what are you doing following me?" She pleaded desperately, saying she had a job and a fiancé and absolutely couldn't let anyone know she had been sexually assaulted, before he released her. However, he later deliberately used some tricks to send her to prison.

Zhou Xiaomei bit her lower lip and mustered her courage to ask, "Do you know Aunt Liu from Xiazhuang Village?"

Aunt Fang Zeyu was a close friend of the old lady and often came to visit, but they didn't talk much.

"Last time, my sixth aunt came to my house and mentioned you. She said... we're quite compatible. I secretly went to see you and found out that you were the one who saved me that day. So... um, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zhou Xiaomei, and I'm a Chinese language teacher at a middle school."

Fang Zeyu vaguely remembered that his grandmother once said that her old friend had introduced him to a woman in her thirties, a teacher. She had previously dated someone and they were engaged, but the man broke off the engagement a few years after she went abroad.

"Grandma mentioned it to me, but I told her I already have a boyfriend. I believe she must have told Aunt Liu about it. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Fang Zeyu nodded and turned to leave.

“Comrade Fang,” Zhou Xiaomei called out to Fang Zeyu, “you should know that I was jilted before. Although I have dated other people before, my relationship with him is innocent. I am still a virgin, and I am a full-time teacher with a relaxed job and many holidays. If we have children in the future, you won’t have to worry about their education. Don’t you want to consider it?”

Fang Zeyu turned around and looked at Zhou Xiaomei indifferently. "I've already said that I have a girlfriend. In my eyes, she's an angel, and no woman can compare to her. With such good qualities as Teacher Zhou, I'm sure you'll find someone even better than me. It's getting late, and if we stay any longer, people will gossip. Teacher Zhou, you should go home now."

Zhou Xiaomei looked around and saw a villager approaching in the distance. She pursed her lips and said, "Comrade Fang, I really like you. I hope you can think it over carefully before making a decision." After saying that, she turned and ran away.

Fang Zeyu shook his head; he was very clear about whether he liked it or not.

He didn't take Zhou Xiaomei to heart, so naturally he wouldn't mention it to Shu Yan.

Shu Yan has been busy lately, with clothing sampling, advertising shoots, and direct-sale stores. In addition, Hu Ruixue is planning to submit her work to an international competition, whether it's a major or minor one. She's already registered for it, and it'll just be a publicity stunt.

This is a great idea. Even if they don't want to admit it, it's true that in China, foreign monks are more popular. Participating in foreign competitions and winning prestigious awards makes one more sought after domestically.

With their lives taking on multiple challenges, Shu Yan and Hu Ruixue were extremely busy.

As luck would have it, Fang Zeyu's branch office in Seoul was about to open. As the company's boss, he would definitely have to go there to oversee the work. For a while, the two couldn't even meet in person and could only call each other at night.

"I'm almost done with my work here, and I'll be back in the next day or two. Seoul is really great, with lots of fun places and delicious food. I'm sure you'll love it. You can bring the kids along next time you travel here." Fang Zeyu knew that Shu Yan loved to travel, and he would ask around in every place he visited. If he thought it was a good place, he would want to bring Shu Yan along.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the beach after we've gotten through this busy period. I've already promised the child."

"Of course, I mean later."

Shu Yan chuckled. "The sea is only a port city. Now we've added Seoul. If we keep adding more, will we have a whole life planned out?"

The meeting ended early today, and Shu Yan planned to go to the market as soon as possible. She was stopped by a woman at a fork in the road.

"May I ask who you are?" Shu Yan looked her up and down, confirming that she had never seen her before.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Xiaomei, and I'm a middle school Chinese teacher." Zhou Xiaomei emphasized her profession, then looked Shu Yan up and down. "I... just want to see what the person Fang Zeyu likes looks like?"

That's really misleading. It makes her sound like a mistress, while Zhou Xiaomei is the wife who came to catch her husband cheating.

Shu Yan looked at Zhou Xiaomei with a relaxed expression and asked with a smile, "So what exactly is your relationship with A Yu?"

"I... you know the old lady in the house Fang Zeyu lives in now, right? She likes me a lot. She even had her old friend come to my house to ask about things. You know, the woman's family has to be reserved. I wanted to sneak a peek at Comrade Fang before making a decision. I didn't expect that he was the person who saved me before. I've been looking for him but haven't been able to find him. Maybe it's fate. I didn't expect to see him again in this way. But I heard that he has a girlfriend, so... I want to ask him clearly. If it's true... I... I'll back out."

What kind of scheming, hypocritical person is this? Give me back my logout! Did you even log in before you logged out?

If Shu Yan didn't trust Fang Zeyu, perhaps a misunderstanding would have arisen by now. They are dating, but the old lady in the family is asking around about other people's daughters. Is it the old lady's idea or Fang Zeyu's idea?

Also, if Shu Yan is really just a divorced woman with two children, without a career or job, wouldn't she feel ashamed if a single, good-looking woman with a good job appeared?

Unfortunately, Shu Yan is now successful in her career. Not to mention that Zhou Xiaomei is just an ordinary teacher, she wouldn't be afraid of even a university professor. Most importantly, Shu Yan trusts Fang Zeyu.

She smiled faintly, "I think the old lady definitely didn't know about my relationship with Ayu when she brought it up, and Ayu definitely refused on the spot after she did." Shu Yan said with certainty. She had met the old lady a few times and knew she was a very sensible person who wouldn't do such a thing.

Approaching Zhou Xiaomei, Shu Yan said with amusement, "You must have gone to see A-Yu, right? And you were rebuffed, otherwise, given your personality, you wouldn't be coming to me now." Seeing her face full of shame and indignation, Shu Yan's smile vanished, and her seriousness made Zhou Xiaomei a little intimidated. "Since you know Fang Zeyu has a girlfriend, you should know to be discreet. You should know that Fang Zeyu was wrongly accused, lost his job, went to jail, and even lost his closest loved one because of saving a girl. He saved you, and instead of being grateful, you want to ruin his relationship? Don't talk to me about love. Love is relative. What makes you think Fang Zeyu will like you? Because you're older than me? Because you've never been married? Because of your job as a teacher? There's a limit to self-righteousness. Besides, as a teacher, your behavior is truly unbecoming."

Zhou Xiaomei's face was flushed. She really wanted to see how a divorced woman with two children could beat her.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I... I just..."

"You just want to know why Fang Zeyu insisted on choosing me after seeing you, who have such excellent conditions?" Shu Yan has seen too many people like this. They are used to being flattered by those around them and think they are celestial beings descended from heaven.

"No, I didn't." Zhou Xiaomei was somewhat embarrassed and angry after her thoughts were exposed. "You're being too aggressive. I didn't mean that at all. I hope you can treat Comrade Fang well."

Shu Yan rolled her eyes and said as she left, "What's your relationship with Fang Zeyu? Does he need your permission?"

That evening, when Fang Zeyu called, Shu Yan told him about her encounter with Zhou Xiaoyan.

“I saved him once two years ago, and we haven’t been in contact since. A few days ago, he suddenly came over and said he liked me. Isn’t that ridiculous? Don’t worry about her. I’ll deal with it when I get back.” After a pause, Fang Zeyu said carefully, “Yan Yan, Grandma did mention it once, but that was a long time ago. When she mentioned it, I told her that I had someone I liked.”

Shu Yan smiled slightly. Of course she trusted Fang Zeyu. How could they be together if they didn't even have this much trust?
